I like the book Eyrie better where it's this lengthy, suicidal donkey ride in the pitch dark up a sheer cliff just to get into the goddamned place. Like the most uninviting place imaginable.

SexyBlindfold posted:At this point I'm imagining that Littlefinger/Sansa's arc won't even need any additional dialogue, the next episode will simply be peppered with shots of Eyrie lords flying down the chute. Tyrion and Oberyn discuss the details of the duel, Ser Galahad of Whatever goes down the chute. Dany discovers what it REALLY means to rule by offering to coach for a down-on-its-luck Mereenese hockey team, Lord Johnny Lordly goes down the chute. The Hound delivers a heart-wrenching monologue on how much he loves to eat chicken, Robin Arryn goes down the chute. I actually just laughed aloud at the thought of Dany giving Grey Worm a speech about never giving up ala Gordon Bombay, thank you for your bold predictions, good goon sir!

Anyone who thinks Dany's story is dull doesn't remember Season 2. But yeah, it could be better. I still want what I mentioned a year or so ago: No more Dany episodes. No checking up on what's going on in Essos. Maybe a whisper of her from the small council, maybe not even that. Just forget her completely. Let the actress go film Terminator movies or something. ...then in episode 9, a group is marching up the Kingsroad on their way to "The Big Battle", all confident about smashing their outnumbered enemies, when there's a slight rustle in the bushes on the right and All loving Hell Breaks Loose. Three Dragons, finally fully grown, with riders*, come flying out of the sunrise with the unsullied not far behind, and lay waste to something we thought indestructible. I'll welcome her back when that happens. Right now, she's just a timesink in a show that doesn't have time to spare each week. Her Masterstroke at Astapor was great fun, but that should have been about the end of it. *Who's going to ride these dragons anyway? Back in Season 2, I was thinking Irri and Doreah were getting built up as the ones who were actually feeding and raising the Dragons, but that didn't work out so well

Firstborn posted:The guy who plays Jorah is such a great actor. He had(has?)a show where he plays a drunken police dude in a snazzy scarf who punches people and is generally told by everyone else what a drunk piece of poo poo he is while he solves weird crimes like people getting murdered by halberds. It's a great show. Jack Taylor is an awesome show. We started watching a couple of years after GoT came out. Imagine our dumb faces when one of us said, 'hey, that guy looks familiar' I think Berristan Selmy was also in an episode.

I find it funny that Hot Pie has had more airtime than Gendry. Hell, even Syrio has had more airtime by being mentioned this season. I want the cliff hanger at the end of the season to be Gendry's boat finally landing ashore.

drat. Loved this episode. Great character moments and while the show looks good at the worst times, I was particularly struck with how beautiful this one looked. The dungeon scenes were beautifully lit and the scene with Sansa in the snow had me in awe. Last episode I was groaning about Dany heading back into boring territory, but I liked how hands on she was here. When Daario was introduced it seemed like a trite bad boy love story was in order, I like how she held the upper hand. Also holy frig Hot Pie. Dinklage continues killing it. The scene with Bronn gave a fair, but still touching conclusion to their friendship. And drat, the scene with Oberyn. Sure, you see the end coming a mile away, but it was great. I assume (haven't read past the second book but spoilering this for anyone who mistrusts speculation) he'll beat and kill the Mountain, since otherwise Tyrion won't live, but I wonder. As Tyrion would come out wanting payback but having nothing, an alliance with Oberyn to gently caress over the Lannisters seems in order, but the show's pulled the rug out from under me many times. Good bonding with Arya and the Hound, Sansa getting feisty, Brienne and the Podster heading for the Eyrie... be nice if we finally, finally get some characters reuniting, though chances are slim. God. I kind of hope next week is just one long duel. Edit: someone mentioned Baelish should've gutpunched Lysa before shoving her, and now I can't stop laughing at the mental image of him doing a two-footed dropkick right after that final line. davidspackage fucked around with this message at 11:27 on May 19, 2014 |

I really hope that when Brienne and Pod catch up to The Hound and Ayra, they don't just kill each other. They can start a family and Brienne can protect her by settling down.

MrBims posted:- Old thread by a goon  ). The timing of this event from the books has passed, but, since they might still write it in later, I'll spoiler it: Jorah tells Dany that his former wife (whose demands/unhappiness ultimately caused him to flee Westeros, less Ned execute him for his crimes to afford her tastes) resembled her and that he has the essentially has the hots for her. On the boat Qarth -> Slaver's Bay, Jorah kisses her and suggests they marry. She rejects him. Macaluso posted:edit: Also, how high up IS the Eyrie? Is it situated on top of a like a cliff? The shots through the moon door we get is overlooking mountains as if it was from an airplane's perspective. The main idea behind it is: without some sort of flying assistance, there is literally no way an army could possibly ever attack/lay siege to the Eyrie since from (I think) Stone onwards it is a single-file trail the entire way (with every stage having attacking vantage points on the lower parts of the path).

I was kinda hoping that the point of Oberyn's story about seeing Tyrion when he was a baby was that he'd actually say to him that he was fighting both to avenge his sister, but also because he sympathises with him. I guess even by volunteering to be his champion he's tacitly doing that, but wanted him to say it explicitly even if it would've been expository.

Poor Sansa, none of her boyfriends ever pass the high heel test. As for the 'your sister/Cat' debate, 'Cat' sounds cooler but 'your sister' has a higher emotional impact. A dude leaving you for your own sister is way more heartbreaking than him leaving for some 10/10 model. Is it just me or did Dany's 2nd dress (post Daario fun time) look kind of unusual for her? She hasn't shown much skin since she left the Dothraki. I'm going to assume that it was a deliberate choice to symbolise... I don't know, something.

I hadn't really paid attention to it before, but it struck me during the last scene how much Lysa's actress sounded like Michelle Fairley as Cat Stark, which I thought was cool.

Hmm, not sure that The Hound is still hell-bent on ransoming Arya at this point, or it seems like that is becoming less of a thing as their 'friendship' is developing. I think Brienne and Pod will run into them. Brienne will be all, "Sworn to return her to safety" and The Hound will be all, "She is safe. gently caress off" and then poo poo will get awkward[ly violent].

That DICK! posted:Also I like how none of the Lannisters or Starks or anyone really can find Arya, but apparently some fat ex-con and his buddy can track her down like loving Boba Fett. Those guys weren't looking for Arya, they were looking for The Hound. In the previous episodes, the Lannisters and friends were told of The Hounds general whereabouts, important to note the reports did not mention anything about The Hound having a traveling companion either. Nobody (with the exception of Hot Pocket and now Team Brienne) knows that Arya is alive (explained last night) or that she is with The Hound for that matter. Those clowns "finding Arya" was just because she was with The Hound. And they aren't telling anyone now so the mystery remains. Edit: I like how they are developing The Hound's character without sacrificing his badassery. Usually, they intro a bad-as-gently caress character and tone him way down to make them more 'human'. So far, while humanizing The Hound, he still snapped that guys neck and killed him without barely any effort. Good times. qxx fucked around with this message at 16:16 on May 19, 2014 |
