There was a lot to set up, so it wasn't strong at all. Not the best dialogue or characterizations either. Very teaserific. It's got me quite excited for the rest of the season, though.
I'd like to be patient but the rains of castamere have been torrential here and there are, what, three more leaks to patch up? I feel like patching those leaks is the responsible thing to do.
Yeah, I think the first episode of Game of Thrones in any season is like this, and we've all been so hyped it's kind of a come down when it's just the reintroduction of characters. We didn't even see Arya or the new Dornish girls. Still, Pod was sweet and remains awesome and Jon trying to persuade Mance and the latter's defiant nature was great too.
I already forgot most of it rofl.
So did anyone else see the Unsullied at the brothel and think Grey Worm was recast for like 5 seconds?
lol yeah. I thought it was Grey Worm at first that's why (SPOILER)my jaw fell to the floor when he got his throat slit. And then Grey Worm is with Dany and them. Crisis adverted.Quote:

Add me to the list of people who were shocked to see a new Grey Worm become a dead Grey Worm and then a White Rat or whatever.
When I realised that the girl in the beginning was Cersei getting her prophecy I was excited. That part really explains a lot about her character. Kinda sorta a small book spoiler unless you paid enough attention to that scene?I hope we get the third question and the last part of the prophecy soon!
Mance was great as always. RIP.
What, do all Summer Islanders look the same to you? Racists. :colbert:
you wanna tell me you didnt mistake him for grey worm? those 2 seriously look alikeQuote:

I'm pretty sure their golden "crowns" refer to the fact that they all have golden hair since they're actually Lannisters.
Golden shroud possibly refers to the fact that they're all going to die before the series is over, and they will wear the yellow Baratheon shroud.
Yes exactly. I need the naked flesh in HD quality. Can't have none of that SD mess.Quote:

A decent setup episode. Man there are a lot of threads in this show. They got to Pod/Brienne, and I was like 'hey look more characters.'
Best scenes were Tyrion & Varys and Jon & Mance. I'm excited to see if and when Tyrion actually gets to Mareen. More of these splintered twosomes need to meet.
There's also the thing where Joffrey wore a crown, Now Tommen does, and it's not unlikely that Marcella will as well. It definitely was part of the whole incest thing, but it may coincidentally come to have 2 meanings.Quote:

Jon Stark. Sam the Slayer. I crai evry tiem
Feels like this was 'season opener setup episode' part 2. Some of the bits at the end actually got somewhere.
I got really excited when Cersei said to Jaime "Our son set to marry that smurfing whore from High Garden!"
I thought to myself "She actually said 'smurfing'. How?!"
Anyway, it turns out she said "smirking" and I was disappointed :(
When you tell the story again, say she said smurfing and it was awesome 'cause EoFF. Because now when I play that scene back that's all I'm going to hear.Quote:

Jon becoming Lord Commander and the return of Drogon are pretty momentous events in the books, and the return of Jaqen H'ghar hasn't even happened yet, so it's possible some excitement spilled over from that. I can see how they wouldn't be that shocking to a show watcher as the storylines are pretty compressed in the show and Jaqen and Drogon haven't even been gone that long.
I'm a troutbum and watched all the leaked episodes. Sansa's story is the most interesting AND THE MOST smurfED UP. I don't think any of it happens in the books.
I want to cry because this is way too hilarious and I may just cry because I can't breathe from all this laughter.Quote:

The mystery of Grey Worm's worm.
For Missandei's sake, I hope he does.
Only one way to find out.
Not it!
I can't remember if the Unsullied have just their berries removed, or their twigs too.
Because you can definitely still have some PiV if there is a twig.
Sorry but that last episode was great because it was DR. JULIAN BASHIR'S HOLOSUITE FANTASY

I know! What the heck is up with that? Margaery just barely mentions that she went back to Highgarden. According to Olenna's show wiki page, she's supposed to be in this season.
Yeah, Ser Pounce needs to make a comeback and claim his rightful place on the Iron Throne. He's the only true ruler of the Seven Kingdoms.Quote:

I'm really glad I watched the four episodes when they were leaked because I think it's much better than waiting week-to-week for this type of show that has a lot of buildup throughout the season for a great payoff in the final two episodes. However, I'm hoping there is a mid-season impactful episode of a Joffrey's wedding type significance because I certainly didn't see anything close to that through episode 4.
I'm starting to really like Netflix's model of releasing the whole season at once because then you can go at your own pace rather than a forced weekly pace. Sure you could wait until the end and download the whole thing but it's hard to avoid weekly spoilers of such a popular show.
I could see the argument that most of the season is buildup for some earlier seasons, but now I think we're just spoiled by the big drama in the crescendo episodes, honestly. A lot has been happening in these three first episodes, by any measure. We just don't appreciate it as much cause we're always anticipating those mega shockers. I've been enjoying it a lot so far, anyway.
Can you name a few measures and how much has been happening by those measures?Quote:

Three of those are future things. The Lord Commander thing was pretty big I'll give you that, but it would have been cooler if he became Jon Stark. Jon's stuff seems to have the most traction so far.Quote:

This is the point when I really start to look forward to Cersei's story. I'm eagerly looking forward to more of it.
Allow me to nitpick my good sir.
There was a wedding? I blinked and missed it.Quote:

Although a cool event, this is a good example of the pacing issues of the show. Episode 1 Tyrion and Varys decide to go see Dany. Episode 2 they are traveling in a carriage to go see Dany (Tyrion himself admits that this is boring). Episode 3 they are still traveling but at least at the end he gets kidnapped. Episode 4 (SPOILER)still traveling! at least in a boat this time.Quote:
Tyrion being kidnapped by random Jorah out of nowhere,
It's hard for me to care about what happens in Meereen. I guess it shows Dany can't rule which affects her development but people in masks with an unidentified or unimportant allegiance killing random nameless Unsullied is not really interesting. Also it really bothers me that the Unsullied are supposed to be warriors with 1 Unsullied worth 10 men and then they are getting beat by these random mask people. Don't care at all about the mask people.Quote:
open rebellion on the streets of Meereen from shadowy figures in masks,
The main religion of Westeros in the show (maybe not in the books) seems to take a back seat to the religions of the Northemen and the Lord of Light. Up until this time it has not gotten a lot of exposure or been shown to be of any importance to the main characters other than Catelyn and perhaps Sansa. So to a viewer this stuff feels like filler. Also old man butt is gross.Quote:
the head of religion in Westeros being stripped naked and deposed by fanatics,
Sansa's story has been the second best and that scene with Roose was very good. However, I feel like they totally glossed over her I don't remember of this part aired yetreturn to Winterfell in one scene in a basement and I felt it was wasted opportunity to have a significant moment for her.Quote:
Sansa finally going home and coming face to face with the man who murdered her brother,
He made a sheet reanimate. Also I didn't even know that was his name and I've already forgotten it because TOO MANY CHARACTERS!Quote:
Qyburn somehow making corpses reanimate...
Maybe some of you who have read the story are filling in the blanks with stuff you know happens in between. In terms of progression, sure the story has progressed in these episodes. The story could also progress with a scrolling marquee at the start of every episode. That doesn't make it great television.
I will say that I have not been bored at all during this season. It's just that this show only has 10 episodes per season and I don't feel like most of this season's storylines are already 40% complete.
Remember how shocked we all were when we thought Grey Worm died in the opening scene?
Yeah, that Unsullied who died should have been Grey Worm. Would've meant more. Apart from that I actually enjoyed the stuff that's been going on in Meereen.
Episode 4 SpoilerThey should still feel bad for how they treated Barristan.
Sansa's storyline has taken a turn for the terrible. Although I am excited for Arya's assassin training, not much of anything has happened apart from set-ups for what will or may happen. This season has been a bunch of filler. Episode 5 better deliver or this show can kick rocks.
i cant remember anything of this.. enlighten me pleaseQuote:
Qyburn somehow making corpses reanimate...
In Ep 3 Qyburn is in his dungeon and he's writing a letter for Cersei, when suddenly behind him a table with a cloth over it jumps up. We don't know what is underneath it, but he shushes it.
aah yes, its comming back now.. a little bit
I can't wait till episode four has aired so I can re-read this thread.
Poor Richard Carlisle. He has no luck with the ladies.
Daenerys Targaryen is not the Mother of Dragons. She is an impostor! There is only one woman in all the land who deserves this title and a seat on the Iron Throne!
Asha'bellanar the Witch of the Wilds is the goddamn Mother of smurfing Dragons!

But she doesn't give a smurf about the Seven Kingdoms or their problems. She's off doing her own thing and anybody try to mess with her is toast before they even know what's happening.
I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with Game of Thrones, but there are dragons. See?
Best line so far this season by the way:
Varys: "Are we really going to spend the entire road to Volantis talking about the futility of everything?"
Tyrion: "You're right. No point."
Varys faces in the past episode were the best.
https://33.media.tumblr.com/b3b96bbf...senao3_500.gif
It's okay, Varys, he didn't mean it. He was going crazy inside the wheelhouse.
can't wait to get all caught up so I can actually read this thread -_- Just finished season two. We're watching two episodes a night so I should be caught up before too long :D
This season really hasn't hooked me yet, I find I'm watching it more just so I don't get it spoiled on the internet, than I am because I'm enjoying it.
This season is starting a little slow. Maybe tonights episode will kick it into gear.
I'd say tonight's episode kicked it into gear, all right.Quote:

I hope Barristan is still alive or I'm rioting.
Same here. Episode 4 was the best thus far but I feel like we've seen about two episodes worth of storytelling for each character rather than four. I guess it is really hard with so many different threads. I'm actually quite happy that they are skipping over Bran's story this season because it would just make everything go that much more slowly.Quote:

I think they are more align to spartans with how they do phalanx so it's all about formation. The way you beat that is by flanking them so they can't form a wall. They SHOULD have just formed a wall right away but in the dark and close quarters, it's kinda hard to do. They are meant for the battlefield, not the back alleys.
Barristan also is an amazing sword fighter but he:
- wasn't wearing armor
- was in a back dark alley
- Killed like 12 guys
- Was flanked
- is like 70 now
If Barristan is dead, I'ma be maaad.
Don't really care about Grey Worm.

I think he's dead. That type of epic 'I'll take down 12 guys before finally getting overwhelmed' fight scene is consistent with killing off a character (hello Boromir!). I think Grey Worm lives, though, since he didn't get the same kind of fight scene.
That didn't look much like Sansa. I suspect it's Myranda. (the one who flashed the crazy eyes at Sansa and pretended to bang Theon last season)Quote:

Rewatched the episode and a couple of thoughts.
The Sand Snakes are smurfing horrible. I think they somehow made Dorne worse than it was in the books. Hey look at how badass we are I'm gonna tell you an awkward bit of backstory about how badass I am and let's randomly torture and kill this guy who helped us did you get the fact that we're total badass clichés yet? Ugh. Arianne would've been far more interesting than this dross.
In terms of actual badasses, smurf me, Lancel. Full on Charlie Manson. I'm glad they've put a face on the Sparrow movement. It's a really big transformation for him from where he was as Robert, Cersei and Tyrion's bitch.
Stannis and Shireen. All the feels. :heart: I have a horrible feeling something bad is going to happen to one of them.
Mace Tyrell's dad joke and the absolute :| reaction of Cersei and Qyburn killed me.
The guy Loras has been banging - Oliver? Olyvar? I don't remember - is basically the new Roz, isn't he? Complete with the "This is Lord Petyr Baelish's establishment!" line.
"Aren't you and mother getting along?" Seven bless you Tommen.
I've been rewatching S1 over the weekend and in Episode 1 Robert puts a feather on Lyanna's tomb. Sansa picks up that same feather in this episode. Neat throwback.
I really want a Tyrion and Jorah bromance to develop. Though I'm more than happy with the Jaime and Bronn bromance. The look Bronn shot Jaime when he said he thought sharks were going to get them.And (SPOILER)Selyse and Stannis's conversation about Jon: "A bastard by some tavern slut" "Perhaps, but that wasn't Ned Stark's way" and then Melissandre saying Jon has power. Oh and Barristan mentioning Rhaegar too!Quote:

I'm not clicking that link, Psych. I'm still in my denial phase. If I was Crown Prince of the Seven Kingdoms the man never would've left King's Landing!
Hey jerkface, why don't you let us have our one week of denial, please. The fact of posting a link with an actor interview is basically saying (SPOILER)he's dead. I don't have to read the interview to know which way it went. That means it's your fault (SPOILER)he's dead, so you suck. (SPOILER)Not legitimately mad. Playing it up. But I did love Barristan. And you do, in fact, suck. =PQuote:

So did melisandre say the famed line to Jon Snow as a coy "I have power and know things" sense or was it solely a nod to the audience as a joke?
I know very little about the Sand Snakes since I never got that far in the books, but as a scene on its own I found it very cringe worthy.
It would've been cool, sure, but it would've left no one with any talent to fight the white walkers, so lets be glad it didn't happen.Quote:

Sidenote: Is this eoff's longest-running thread?
I can think of at least one that is probably longer.
The thread of no return has me beat by a year.
It's pretty big for a thread where no one returns.
The what are you listening to thread in the lounge has been around much longer, over 10 years.
Oh I forgot about that one cause I never post in it lol.
I made you one with a twist.Quote:

nope she is constantly sucking on lemons
It will ruin her teeth, really.
So I watched the Red Wedding last night. Holytroutsmurf
sucking lemons? I'd give her something to suck asymmetrically. My milkshake at a 4 degree tilt.Quote:

I liked this episode. With no King's Landing or Arya it was a lot more focused on some of the stories.
I was really looking forward to dorne but then I saw the preview and I"m just... not...
Do you have a link to the preview?
They're going to do something horrible like kill Bronn aren't they? :colbert:
Don't you even dare speak of this. I will throw my TV!Quote:

We've had just two scenes with the Dornish in five episodes. Not nearly enough to make anyone care. Like, Areo Hotah, why even bother? Badass looking guy in an awesome costume with a sick weapon, when all he's done is be like "hello no you can't see the prince okay now maybe you can" and that's it. I guarantee 100% of pure show watchers have no smurfing clue who I am even talking about.
YES A GIRL IS READY
I DON'T KNOW, I STILL LIKE DORNE, GUESS I'M IN THE MINORITY
OLENNA IS MOTHERSMURFING BACK
SANSA BATH
What do you like about Dorne?
Scenes so far in Dorne:
Angry lady at guy in chair overlooking lannister girl.
Jaime and Bronn land there and meet some people being all "who are you?"
Sand snakes and angry lady kill a guy who's head is sticking out cause, ya know, a kill people with info thing.
The end.
Purple wedding is way more violent.Quote:

Jon was a smurfing badass this episode. Calls Tormund a pussy basically. Tormund's like easy for you to say when I'm in chains and when I get out of them I'd beat the ever living trout out of you. So jon, ballsy ass Jon snow, removes Tormund's chains. Alpha as smurf.
All this after the alpha speech by Aemon. KILL THE BOY.KILL HARRY POTTER.Be a man. Loved it.
Other scenes I liked:
Loled when the dude Dany imprisoned and almost made dragon kibble, is now released and is to marry her. hahahaha :D
Stannis the Grammatically Correctis.
Scene going to black as Tyrion submerges. Swear to god I was shaking my head and cursing if "directed by blah blah" showed up after that long pause. Bastards, magneficent bastards.
Great episode. I loved how focused it was.
Almost joined team grammarStannis. Bastard almost got me. Still think he's going to die a horrible death and none of his plans come to fruition.
Loved last couple minutes, from the moment Drogon flies over. Fake fadeout was sweet BS.
For the life of me, I can't figure out where they're going with these changes to the Tyrion story, though. I mean, I'm fine with it, I just don't know what purpose it carries. Seems like a significant departure to me.
I knew what was up as soon as the song came on. I think I'll be all caught up by the time the new episode is on :D!Quote:

I must've missed the Grammar Stannis part. What happened?
Here's the scene jinx
Grammar Stannis is pretty great.
I was so afraid the credits were going to roll when Tyrion was underwater.
I wish the credits would have rolled during Tyrion's submarine cosplay. You guys had to wait in shocked numbness for two whole seconds to see he came out okay. Book readers had to wait for several chapters before turning the last page of one to see the glorious title of Tyrion on the next (unless you flipped through the pages of the book to see if there were any more, which I didn't).
Ahahaha, that's excellent.Quote:

King Stannis, First of his name, Lord of men, Corrector of Grammar.
I noticed that both Stannis and Roose got to have the, "You're my son/daughter" talk with their kid before the big battle.
Somebody's getting axed.
im rooting for Stannis now. especially after that scene with his daughter.
his cause seems just, and last week he has shown that he Does have a heart after all!
he is not completely focused on getting the Iron Throne but is also concerned with the North.
as for Sansa, im very curious about what will happen. she is about to marry Joffrey#2.
i will be so sad if they kill of Ramsay. he is another one you just like to hate :3
If we're choosing between Ramsay and Shireen I think it's more likely they kill off Shireen, because everyone loves her and GoT is basically the reason why we can't have nice things.
thehehe funny!!

The Viserys shout out and writers joke killed me.
Also, can I just say how much I appreciate Gilly's acting? I never really thought about it until this episode but she's perfect for the role.
The best:

I concur. Not saying I'm cooler than you, but I noticed it a long time ago. Like 2 or 3 episodes ago. But good job catching up.Quote:

I agree. Much less disjointed than the other episodes. The Wall stuff has been the best of the season. That scene with Grey Worm was the worst ever though.Quote:

I actually just read the chapter in Storm of Swords today when she decides to stay in Meereen. Basically Astapor and Yunkai when to trout when she left, so she decides to stay in Meereen to make sure the freed slaves are treated okay. (And in the books her dragons are still kind of small and she doesn't have all the ships she needs yet anyways).Quote:

Yeah I read up to that point in ASoS as well and it did make some sense up to that point. However, she doesn't seem to have an end game in Meereen. So she makes sure the slaves are ok until when exactly and then what happens after that? Also, we seem to be past ASoS in the show now that Tywin is dead and several other things I didn't read are happening. With the books I get the feeling that part of her is scared to go over to Westeros and that, deep down, she doesn't really want to rule it, and that also keeps her from leaving. I don't get any of that from the show Dany. This Dany seems to really want to rule but chooses this random place to do it with no real plan at all. I can't figure out what motivates her actions which makes them infuriating since they are often stupid decisions.
Also I wonder why they grew the dragons up quicker in the show? I also remember reading that they are smaller at this point. These are clearly grown up dragons ready to chew up some Lannisters (and Tyrells I guess). Also her Unsullied are getting softer by the day. Strike now while you can!
I agree!
And yeah, I really do think (both from a book and show perspective) that she doesn't REALLY want to go to Westeros. It's just greener pastures at this point.
The show dragons are definitely book 5 size by now and Tyrion going to meet her is also book 5 stuff if I remember correctly, whereas some parts of book 3 have yet to play out (and I can think of one or two of those things that I have a hard time believing they'd leave out). Other stories are on the verge of book 6 territory. They're definitely shifting the timelines around a bit. So far it's working out well enough, but it'll be interesting to see how they start tying things together.
Yeah, the timelines are majorly shifted. But so far it's made sense enough, so it doesn't bother me too much.
I used to be a crazy book burner about the show, but now I've come to accept they're separate entities and view the books more as supplemental info that gives me more insight into what's going on. There are SOME things I'd rather they left in the show or went by the books, but oh well.
It's kind of like how True Blood as a show is waaaaaaaaaay better than True Blood as a book series. They're different things, even though they're based in similar stories.
