Human Tornada posted:In season 2 the blackwater episode was on memorial day weekend and I had me Monday off so I could get good and drunk so this skipping a week isn't working for me. Exactly. Also, if ratings are so bad why are they using that same time slot to premier their big, prestige piece films then?

Possibly because they know a movie about AIDS featuring men kissing in tight boxer shorts isn't going to do very well anyway

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Why would the night before memorial day affect ratings? It shouldn't but the ratings for Blackwater were subpar and I guess HBO assumed it was due to Memorial Day and decided to give Game that week off from now on. At the same time they're showing big budget prestige films (Behind the Candelabra, and the Normal Heart) so if the holiday is the reason for a ratings drop then why show those movies and not like Big Love reruns or better yet just keep Game of Thrones on schedule instead is what I'm saying

HBO wants to corner the market on gay zombie vampires with aids. Was a pretty good episode. Glad to see that crazy bird fly. Hope Robin flies soon.

AMReese posted:I don't know if that would work on TV, is the thing. How can you make it look like that she wouldn't scream when she obviously would? Tie a bunch of rocks to her? quick punch to the gut, knock the wind out of her, then knock the her out of the wind.

What's interesting is the dip really wasn't that bad and just looks like the season dips they get as a result of a few 'bland' episodes. Just like what happened to last episode, which was one of the best of all time, but also nosedived from the 7+ they had in Ep. 5 In fact last episode fell HARD - even below the premiere - as a result of 3 eps in a row that were basically pure story after Joffrey's death. oswald ownenstein fucked around with this message at 03:25 on May 19, 2014 |

As soon as he was like "I've only ever loved" I yelled, "Catelyn Stark *Shove*" Don't make it so predictable.

Whichever DP shot this episode did a phenomenal job. So many beautiful shots, even my girlfriend commented on it.

I really dig the tune at the scene w/Mel & Crazy Mom #2. Not sure if it's "Dragonstone tune" or "Lord of Light tune" but it's real tight, real foreboding. Just adds that extra oomph to all scenes it plays in

Only part I straight up didn't like about this ep was the "hey this is the Mountain" bit. The camera angles were a bit... over the top. Dude's good tho, he looks all angry and mean and stuff although a bit too baby-faced. Blah blah first Mountain best Mountain; blonde Daario (Faabio) better than brown-haired Daario (Daario Morgendorffer) Also the dying guy could have died a bit sooner, that stretched for a bit. But other than that, man, that was an ace ep. EccoRaven posted:When are we gonna see full frontal male nudity already?? For a second I thought that "hey Reek come take a bath" was going to be an excuse to show some dickstump. It would have been... a very HBO thing to do. "This take is very symbolic! It defines the character!" SexyBlindfold fucked around with this message at 03:45 on May 19, 2014 |

I'm pretty sure they changed the wording because they don't have faith that anyone knows any characters names or their relations. "Only Cat" is punchier and also more natural sounding.

Also, Sansa dwarfed Littlefinger.

SickZip posted:I'm pretty sure they changed the wording because they don't have faith that anyone knows any characters names or their relations. "Your sister" sounds more deceiving, to me. It sounds better than "Only Cat". We've seen Ser Pounce more recently than we've heard the phrase "Cat" as in Catelyn Stark. Although for Littlefinger to love only Ser Pounce would be a great twist...

The whole Sansa in the snow building the replica of Winterfell is some of my favorite imagery from the books and has inspired a ton of pictures like this one (from the official wiki I think) so I'm glad the show did it justice
