My genre's thriller... What's yours?
Can we take a second to praise Alfie Allen? He is playing a character who is supposed to be pretending to be a person who he actually is but doesn't personally identify with anymore. And he pulled it off. He looked like a hollow pretender claiming to be who he actually is. He was one of my favorite parts of season 2 and I hope to god we get him back to acting instead of just screaming again.

Hasn't Alfie Allen never even been submitted for Emmy consideration? That's more criminal than the Trial by Combat.

:lol: at people being so upset they are unironically going to stop watching a show because of a character dying. I wish I had the capacity to drop things like that. Not really though.

The expanded gore was welcomed for someone who loves horror movies. It brings a realness to the horrible things happening. It's actually funny in comparison to Ned getting beheaded.

"Oh it's so beautiful!" Not really - a man got his head chopped off.

As soon as those teeth got knocked out I was like - oh gently caress, this is gonna be insane.

But... Tyrion is hosed now, how the hell is gonna get outta this?!

Agreeing with this totally. I'm mean, okay, we loving get it. Frankly, many of the deaths would have more impact without the gratuitous, gory visuals.

It's sort of a weird selective thing. They aged up the actors for the children characters, but not necessarily their ages. When Sansa is with Tyrion on their wedding night, she still says that she is 14 despite obviously being older.

I thought that wasn't actually Clarke that made the 'no more nudes' claim, especially since she was nude in a scene after it came out.

Wasn't it attributed to Shae or Roz?

Shae, it would make more sense. She made a porno film a million years ago, and it's dogged her career ever since. It's a shame, because she's really a great actress (check out Gegen die Wand, a german film which has her).

Cersei being smug as gently caress at the end bothers me more than Oberyn dying. At least I got a new saying from this episode. "Who gives a dusty gently caress?" is amazing. Thanks Jaime.

Stand corrected then. However, seems like Dany was more naked then Shae. As for Roz, if they killed her character after her 'no more boobs' complaint, that would be really hosed up.

So can someone explain to my dense self the significance of the beetle killing chat?

I was irritated at first, but I'm betting it is about the madness of God killing men, and that Tyrion will use it at some point later with Jaime. At first I was just irritated as poo poo by that waste of time , I kept waiting for the punchline... I'm thinking ( hoping? ) the punchline will be used later.

Cocky? Sure. But a pompous motherfucker? Against the Mountain? No one has better reason for hating the Mountain and wanting to poo poo down his throat than the Hound and Oberyn. His passion made him over confident. He didn't deserve a death like that, at least in my opinion, he didn't.

The best you can hope for is that the fan favorites get an appropriately awesome death, and Oberyn got that in loving spades.

Not everyone in the world will agree with everyone else. Besides, isn't it also a good way to ensure someone you like lives and gets what they want? It exposes GRRM's playstyle and exploits it, so at least some of us get to enjoy the story.
