Game of Thrones season 4 (contains spoilers)
I did a search of the forums and hadn't seen anything recent besides the Australia got pwned thread. So I decided to start this thread up as my hunger for season 4 is growing by the second. If I somehow missed another thread covering this season please lock/delete this one.
I was prompted to make this thread by this 15 minute long video of the cast talking about what is coming and what we should expect. Not sure if many of you have seen it but for those that haven't give it a look. I am hanging out more for this show than any other I can remember, a year between seasons feels like a frigging lifetime :) |

Caught this video via a link from one of the other videos one of you posted and thought it was interesting. It covers a little about the relationship between Ramsey and Roose and how it compares to Ned and John which I found interesting particularly since we haven't seen anything of Roose and Ramsey interacting.

Hey so what happened when theon 'escaped' from the dungeon but it was all a trick, were those guys really killed or was it all a set up? The soldiers in the forest who were going to bumrape him? Yeah, they were really killed, the guy who killed them who was torturing Theon is Ramsay Bolton, Roose Bolton's son, and basically hes a MASSIVE c***. He likes to pretend to release prisoners, and then hunt them down again, its a thing he does (along with the torture and the flaying). So it was a setup, but I doubt those guys in the forest were in on it, they were just collateral damage. |

poor foxtel huh? I think you mean 'Poor HBO'... SURE, they've made a butt-load from Foxtel for the deal, but if they're going to restrict their method of distribution in such a way, the rest of us will 'find a way'. I'll be buying S4 as soon as it is available to me to purchase (it's usually $50-55AUD on B-DVD... @ $5.50 an episode >Queue the Fry 'Take my Money' Meme<) |
02:13pm 07/04/14 Permalink
Yeah id rather have my cash take the most direct path possible to the people making the show. I bought season 3 a couple of weeks ago even though hbo has been been rerunning seasons 1,2 and 3 lat out for that last two weeks.

Greazy.
Even if I threw $35 per month at it for two months with the 14-day 'free trial' [which you can't], that leaves me ~$20 out of pocket, and with a lot of s*** (and S*** loads more advertising) than I care for Then there's this: ^Min cost $25 per month on direct debit based on a single genre-based package. #Min cost $50 for 1 month on a direct debit based on a single Premium Pick. Minimum expenses of $100 for two months, or $105 for three (to catch a whole season of GoT @ 10 weeks approx). Then I've gotta chew through my own data unless I let someone into my place to bodge up a physical install. (n.b. I'm not sure what the minimum sign up period is, of course then there's cancellation fees etc etc). So... I'm not sure how much iTunes had the seasons going for previously, but whatever it was, it was a lot better an option that going the Foxtel route [even if you were religiously opposed to an Apple service]. Unfortunately, this year, you have no choice locally. |

Phwoar, that was awesome, I'm liking Oberyn Martel.
I'm glad they got a different actor for Daario as well, the new guy they have seems much better matched to how I'd imagined the character than the one from season 3. |

^ You didn't like Faarbio Naharis?

07:46pm 07/04/14 Permalink
Whilst I've not read the books, I kinda liked the constant sly grin on the 'Original Daario'.
I can't wait to see the recast of 'The Mountain' Thor Bjornsson... 6'9" and 190kg+ if that's not the very definition of a 'mountain of a man' then I don't know what is. (Still sad to see that Conan Stevens (the first of three to play the Mountain) not come back into the role) |

i was pumped for this season opener & it did not disappoint. did a little got intro dance n all :D i didn't mind the recasting of darius as much as the recasting of the mountain. but meh, it happens. oberyn & the sandsnake(?) were pretty cool :D |
12:56pm 08/04/14 Permalink
Spartacus' recasting turned out to be alright, but you can't really fault them when the dude died :S I didn't even notice Darius was re-casted until roommates pointed out he was from Nashville, so it didn't really phase me.

Yeah that was justified, and by season 3 it worked alright. At first I wasn't 100% sure if Darius was recast, then I remembered how he was in the previous episodes, and this guy just seems too different. :S |

i only dislike recasting when it's an iconic character. for example, i would be pissed if they recast tyrion.

The old Darrio just looked like a slimy f***** and a B grade Fabio knock off. The new one might be better but i guess that remains to be seen.

Does Darrio have a massive importance in the story? Don't spoil it for me too much, but from all the episodes the character has been in he never really felt "important" that a recasting should matter.

So the iron throne from the TV shows isnt right says Martin Thanks to a recent blog post by Martin titled “The Real Iron Throne,†however, we can finally get a glimpse of what Martin actually had in mind. While he acknowledges that the HBO version has become “iconic,†and is perhaps more realistic, “It’s still not right. It’s not the Iron Throne I see when I’m working on The Winds of Winter. It’s not the Iron Throne I want my readers to see. The way the throne is described in the books… HUGE, hulking, black and twisted, with the steep iron stairs in front, the high seat from which the king looks DOWN on everyone in the court… my throne is a hunched beast looming over the throne room, ugly and asymmetric.â€http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/images_blogs/underwire/2013/07/throne-big.jpg Instead, says Martin, the above image painted by artist Marc Simonetti for the upcoming The World of Ice and Fire concordance, is the closest he’s seen to the Iron Throne of his own imagination, and and the one that he plans to offer as reference to any future artists who attempt to depict the Westerosi seat of power.http://www.wired.com/2013/07/real-iron-throne-hbo- interesting that the show managed to turn a failing of making the throne out of 1000 swords (what martin really wanted) into a good lesson: a conversation between Littlefinger and Varys, the two great political power-brokers of King’s Landing. “There aren’t a thousand blades. There aren’t even two hundred. I’ve counted,†said Littlefinger, who turned the apparent departure from canon into a fantastic metaphor for the myths and illusions of power that prop up the political system of Westeros. “Do you know what the realm is? It’s the thousand blades of Aegon’s enemies — a story we agree to tell each other over and over, until we forget that it’s a lie.†That is a good use of art. True or false its the story that matters. |

Great episode, just finished here
On another note I am really starting to like Oberon. Smooth as silk a real cool customer and has some great lines, can't wait to see more of him. Cersei really needs to go she is becoming a bigger problem even though her power seems to be slipping away. The sooner she is toast the better if for no other reason that it might free Jamie up so he can really become a decent guy. It seems she has always been the only thing that ever held him back.... what a massive f*****g b**** she is. |

I have to admit I enjoyed watching joffrey squirm.. but now that he is dead, there is no one to hate I feel.. on the other hand Cersei is becoming a real b****, so theres that... really interested to see how tyrion gets out of this one.. that is if he does...i mean I hope he does... prey to the George RR.... F***.. the next few eps should be really interesting..

10:59pm 14/04/14 Permalink
I dunno how long we're sposed to tiptoe around things, so spoiler tags just to be safe:
Spoiler: The 'nobody left to hate' thing that Tufnut mentioned is actually something I've been wondering around with the show after this season. When you start killing off all your strongest characters (well, as far as show frontrunners), you're going to have to do a lot of work to elevate some of the others to the same status to fill the void, and not sure they're quite there. Not spoiling anything from the future or anything, but the fourth book was imo the weakest book too, kinda for that same reason. They start bringing in all these new Dorne characters, and Iron Islands characters to fill the void, but they're all new characters you don't really give much of a s*** about because you don't know them yet, so it has nowhere near the same level of engagement. |
12:12am 15/04/14 Permalink
Imo, Khel, if they're running a few days late, they have no business coming into this thread.
So yeah, next night spoilers are fine imo. Also, no pig jousting ;_; And he didn't suffer long enough. But yeah, I loved the "if you've read the book, you'll notice the killer" scene. I think my sister and friend completely missed all of it because they were wondering who it was. It was pretty well done. Subtle enough to miss easily, but not if you know where to look. |
12:52am 15/04/14 Permalink
This is ruling out all the people who might be the killer who were in lots of scenes :P. Though I sort of suspect Sansa which is possibly what you're referring to... Anyway, I'll see! (I mean, I hope)

11:52am 15/04/14 Permalink
I've no idea what necklace you're talking about Eorl.
Perhaps I'm looking at the scene too literally, but there's little evidence to support it being Tyrion or Sansa. I do note that no-one has chalked the suspected poisioning up to the pie or the fork it is eaten from either. I'd be leaning towards Olenna Tyrell myself; though there is little evidence to support that either. Only the fool Dontos Hollard seems to be in on it. Looking over the whole sequence again shows that Varys has a sour look on his face the entire time (doesn't make him a suspect per se) but more importantly, during the whole sequence of the '5 kings' he's looking elsewhere, and then just a moment before Joffrey pours his wine on Tyrion, his demeanor changes a little... (Might just be him being amused by Tyrion's line, but who [in the non-book reading group] knows...) Perhaps it was Colnel Mustard, in the Kitchen, with the tainted pie? I also noticed that the GoT IMDB page has it's own unique colour scheme now... |

If you haven't watched it by now than its clear you aren't really "keeping" up with Game of Thrones. Of course, for all future spoilers keep it in the Thread for Real Men, but for the week's episode talk can be had in here, just not the day it comes out (unless spoilered obviously).
|
03:26pm 15/04/14 Permalink
I don't see why its necessary to spoiler it on the day it comes out, obviously people will want to talk about s*** like JOFFREY DYING and spoiler tags are a pain in the arse. Just stay away from the thread of a Monday until you're up to date.

03:33pm 15/04/14 Permalink
Is that the actual explanation? While I suspected her due to all her lines about killing a king at his wedding, it seems an awfully convoluted method when she could just carry one of those beforehand rather than taking it from Sansa... |
03:33pm 15/04/14 Permalink
I think he was referring to spoiling who killed Joffrey, it's meant to be vague.

Explaining who killed him though might be a bit spoilery, since in the show that might be something designed to come out and unravel over time

While I suspected her due to all her lines about killing a king at his wedding, it seems an awfully convoluted method when she could just carry one of those beforehand rather than taking it from Sansa... Less risk. I mean Tyrion took the fall for it anyway, but if that hadn't happened and after some investigation it was traced back, the blame is going to land on Sansa since she still has the necklace. |

Thanks for the link Khel.
In this case it's hardly spoilery, all the sequence is there, plain as day to see. (Though I appreciate the consideration ravn0s). I think everyone in here gets when the episode becomes available... and if there are others visiting between 'airing time' and their own viewing, then that risk lays with them. LOL @ that image pARODY. I'm surprised at the lack of meme's from Joffrey's 'derp death face'.

Unless somebody can confirm the necklace theory, it has a huge flaw in the show. The cup was nowhere near her. I checked because otherwise I'd be doing something productive.

Natalie Dormer, 'Margaery Tyrell' according to IMDB.
I keep seeing that sly smile she used a lot in 'The Tudors', although the character she plays in this is sufficiently different (combined with the bit where the Tudors was how many years ago?) I keep seeing the show as 'Game of Rome' atm... Ellaria Sand (Oberyn Martells 'common' other-half) sees the cast from Rome climb one step higher (taking it to 3 now. Ciaran Hinds (Mance Rayder), Tobias Menzies (Edmure Tully) and Indira Varma (Ellaria Sand)) I'm sure there were more... I must've missed someone... Nerf check the links above for reference to the Necklace theory. I'm sure it'll be revealed in time. |
11:54pm 15/04/14 Permalink
Ah, I thought that the Sand character might have been the woman from Rome. They're both HBO I think.
Now that I think about it., god dammit almost any of the Rome actors/character would be good in GoT, Mark Antony, the newsreader, etc. As for the links above, the problem is that Anne Boleyn put the cup on the empty table... From one angle it kind of looked like it was the next table, but then from other angles it wasn't... |
12:16am 16/04/14 Permalink
Look at the other Boleyn Girl. (Boleyn Sr.)
It doesn't seem to show her dropping it in. Unless it's the scene where you literally here a 'plink' as she walks past the table (Literally the scene before Sigur Ros perform before 'getting paid'). |

Of course, for all future spoilers keep it in the Thread for Real Men, but for the week's episode talk can be had in here, just not the day it comes out (unless spoilered obviously). I made this thread to talk about the season and yes that includes the day it comes out. Honestly if you haven't seen the lastest episode what are you even doing in here? As for the "real men" thread its a zillion pages long and over a year old. We've all been around the net long enough to know that if you are worried about spoilers you probably shouldn't enter threads discussing the topic.

Spoiler:
Yeah, in that shot, the cup is way closer to the camera than she is, its about a table length away from her in reality. Tbh I'm not entirely sure when it was done either, because the cup is far enough away that she would have had to stand up and lean over to reach it by that point and surely that would be rather noticeable. Unless of course Margaery was in on it, and Olena palmed the strangler crystal off to Margaery and she did it when Joffrey handed her the cup. |

Spoiler:
Well, its already differed a little, and they never explicitly spell out or show how she did it in the book, whereas I think it'll need to be more explicit for the sake of the show. In the book its more like Sansa noticing a bit missing off her jewelry afterwards, and it was actually Olena who gave her the jewelry in the book so she makes the connection/assumption, along with a few sly looks and comments from the tyrells. This all sounds like book spoilers =\ Have you watched the latest episode and read the rest of this thread? We're talking about things that have already happened. |

Maybe demon should have used spoiler tags, but really the 'whodunnit' but isn't spoilery (I don't think anyway).
I'm still cheerin that he bit it. Sure he deserved something far more grotesque, but the humiliation factor, being poisoned at a Wedding... that's a massive 'two-finger salute' to the Lannisters. I can't wait to see how Martell makes others squirm about it (amongst other flow on effects) I'm also curious to see if Margaery Tyrell is allowed to keep her crown (given that the wedding wasn't 'consumated' etc etc) |

Its also the easiest person to link considering the Lanisters owe so much and the Tyrell's know it will never be paid back. Also just look at her face when Tyrion grabs the cup moments before his death, she gave a look of "s***, sorry you are about to be framed!"

What do you mean by the Lannister's owing so much and the Tyrell's knowing it will never be paid back? The Lannister's are the richest family in Westeros? This marriage was basically to try and repair the relationship because they supported Renly's claim initially. adding highgarden's power to shore up the lannisters and the king and giving them a Queen/Royalty which is what Mace wanted
Book Spoilers: Spoiler: pretty sure that in the books Olenna didn't give the jewellery to Sansa, i think it was still Dontos, but it was some hair piece thing and Olenna came across and fixed her hair and grabbed the crystal then. littlefinger was involve d in the plotting from memory, hence the involvement of Dontos, but i thought Olenna just wanted to get rid of Joffrey because he was a complete prick and she had heard all about how he treated Sansa and didn't want that for Margaery, plus Loras probably would have killed him had he been on the kingsguard when joffrey was abusing herSpoiler: |
03:58am 17/04/14 Permalink
It's pretty obvious who poisoned the little s*** because I've read the books and my wife who hasn't read the books pick up on it straight away when she saw the episode.
I'm not sure on the actors name who played Joffery but holy s*** he did an excellent job being a righteous little c***! Shame he is throwing in the towel. |

How exactly do the Lanisters owe them more money than they can pay back? Actually how do the Lanisters owe them anything? The crown is what owes the cash since Robert left the crowns funds up the s*** not to mention the war costs. The Lanisters are loaded to the eye balls. |
08:13am 17/04/14 Permalink
No, the Lannisters are broke. Spending and spending has continued through debts, but they've not been called on to repay those debts. They keep promisinig to repay debts, and things are purchased on the promise of repayment because they have no money to pay for things with. They have some, for what's need immediately, but for the most part the Lannisters are broke and they're cleverly hiding it - mostly behind the known promise, "A Lannister always repays his debts". People think they're good for the loan, so they're happy to take payment later, but there's going to be some shocks when those loans are called in.

09:59am 17/04/14 Permalink
From my limited understand of the Lannister financial situation, they are alright but the crown is broke. In previous episodes Tyrion says about little finger rubbing his hands together and coin appears, its because they have massive loans.
"Anyway, it's not my father I'm worried about. It's the Iron Bank of Braavos. We owe them tens of millions. If we fail to pay these millions, the Bank will fund our enemies. One way or another, they always get their gold." ―Tyrion Lannister The Lannisters have been pouring money into the crown too I think. I wonder if Peter Baylish did this intentionally, taking massive loans to eventually bankrupt the crown and cause the Lannisters problems. |

And I live a stones throw from Note Printing Australia, but that doesn't make me rich. Yeah, but it would if you owned it, and all the land it was on, and everything within a few hundred km's of where you lived paid you a portion of the money they make too. |
12:51pm 17/04/14 Permalink
I have no idea where people got the idea that the lanisters were hard up for a gold dragon but sure as hell saw no mention of it in the season to date. I recall little finger making the comment about the books and how the numbers are easy once you make them behave. The crown is f***ed for cash thats why Tyrion had to go hat in hand to ole granma to help fund the wedding.
His old man would never let the family go broke because it would f*** up his legacy which as we should have all worked out by now is the greatest driving force behind everything he does. |
01:01pm 17/04/14 Permalink
No, the Lannisters are broke. No, they aren't. Khel is 100% right. The House of Lannister and the Kingdom of Westeros are two separate entities. |
01:21pm 17/04/14 Permalink
Well, still, Tyrell's have a crap ton to gain from killing the king. They get to put their own blood on the throne if Margaret becomes queen and they can pin it on a Lannister and start an internal war to rip the house to shreds. Seems like a win win from my perspective.
|
01:25pm 17/04/14 Permalink
they had their own blood on the throne when joffrey was alive though as he was marrying margaery, but by getting rid of joffrey they rid the kingdom of a capricious, annoying, vicious c*** and then by Spoiler:
marrying margaery to tommen, they get control over the king because tommen is a kind boy who is much more easily manipulated |
12:06am 18/04/14 Permalink
Think Raven is confusing the Kingdom of Westeros, which is super broke, and the House of Lannister, which is very much still super rich.
As we're seeing in the show though, the Lannister house is becoming rather f***ed in the lineage department. Swordhandless and kingsguard Jamie, Cersie's crazy, now Joffreys dead. Only Tommen and Myrcella remain. |
02:57am 19/04/14 Permalink
And Tywin of course, who is still by far the most important of the Lannisters.
edit: just noticed you said lineage. |
04:09am 19/04/14 Permalink
Well if Jamie doesnt want to have kids with anyone other than his sister that only leaves everyones favourite imp to pass on the family name. He would be the best option imho but you know that sure as hell isnt how tywin sees it.

chopped off hand shouldn't really effect lineage should it? Nah but he pointed out to his old man he has no interest in being anything other than in the kings guard and the kings guard dont marry or have kids from my understanding of it. So unless tyrion has a rugrat or two the family name ends right there which would be a major concern to tywin because he is all about legacy. |

There are plenty of Lanisters, Cousins are still fallbacks if no sons or daughters are available.

07:44am 19/04/14 Permalink
Yeah, the kingsguard are prohibited from marriage, lands or titles. I think Jamie's value was his swordsmanship (from the realm's perspective), he was one of the best and most feared in the kingdom, without his sword hand he's nothing really (except a traitorous kingslayer who no longer needs to be feared! and a rumored partaker of the incests!).
Second family and on aren't the same I reckon, it'd knock them to being a lesser house unless they can sort it out. |
10:24am 19/04/14 Permalink
If they look towards the bastards and cousins the lineage of a pure Lanister house would be threatened. You want the purest blood representing your house, not some cast offs.

That was a really good political episode, and I friggin love how Kahlisi's character has evolved into this very tactical dragon lady. Throwing those collars into the slave city was just a big f you to all the slavers, and such a swift way of getting slaves to rally for you.
I have a feeling there is just going to be a mass slaughter when it comes to Castle Black and the Crows, they are outnumbered massively and that isn't even mentioning giants. They either stay and wait for the murder spree or they go out and face their death. Not really coming up Crows anytime soon. |

Interesting take on the whole Cersei/Jaimie rape scene by a random but interesting Tumblr fan. I didn't really bat an eyelid like the rest of the world seemed to when the scene happened, maybe just because its Game of Thrones but after reading it wasn't suppose to be like that it is interesting knowing that RR signed off on it.

11:14pm 22/04/14 Permalink
Didn't even realise there was an uproar about that scene, I just took it in stride, its Game of Thrones after all. It didn't feel overly rapey though, she wasn't resisting very hard, just seemed like token resistance, she was gagging for it.

I didnt think there was much of a fuss about it either. Was however a little disappointed that Jamie even put it on her after the first knock back. I would have been happier if he just turned his back on her for good, but of course thats never going to happen....... or will it?

If the rape was meant as some sort of comeuppance on Cersei as part of the Jaime redemption arc then yes it is everything that the blogger said. However if it is part of just showing how much of a c*** Jaime is then it was fine I reckon.

Ah yes all the moral outrage over the rape scene.
So Jamie is bad when he is with his sister (in her sphere of influence) so he gets a bit "rapey" but really what he wants is to be good. After all that turning into a better guy has been his character arc for the last dozen eps. From the blog eorl linked: The show uses rape as Cersei’s comeuppance, her poetic justice for tainting the honorable Jaime’s good honor. That’s why the show’s writers didn’t see it as an out of character action, because Jaime isn’t Jaime when he’s with Cersei, he’s just some pitiful victim of her machinations. When he assaults her, she’s only reaping what she sowed. It should be noted that this is from the perspective of a 19 year old female who is self professed: "Feminist, queer positive, sex positive, body positive" but yeah still wtf is with Jamie raping his sister? Its just pretty poor writing and for whatever reason or justification even if the director of this episode said he didn't see this scene as rape because "it became consensual at the end" that is just dumb logic. Stupid TV version. But back to the moral outrage: Still its Game of Thrones and the logic of that world is not our own. I think that is what many people watching the TV show fail to grasp. This show isnt meant to be a reflection of this worlds systems (ethical / moral ones included). Its a closed system. In this world it is never OK to rape. Not even if they are "no" at 1st then "yes" later. In fact especially if that happens. The whole "i knew she wanted it and she was just saying no" thing is huge in society. ITs a big thing that as a society we are or should be trying to get across as a responsible thing.But in a game of throne ep supposedly its ok for it to happen. When people try to translate our world messages to fantasy worlds it doesnt work (well maybe in some fantasy or sci fi where thats the point - like star trek etc) so why the moral outrage over the scene? |

From what i have read its not the rape that has people bothered its the fact that Jamie was seen to be turning a corner and people were starting to like him.

Good episode tonight we almost saw Jamie shed a tear in a pretty big 180 from last week. Mind you that's not to surprising since Brienne is undoubtedly a great influence on him and she clearly has his respect, its a shame they are parting ways. Interesting to see that the white walkers as we have seen them in the past aren't all the same and it seems they have at least one "leader" I guess you could call him that actually looks quite different.
They covered a lot of ground in this episode and I liked it, can't wait to see next weeks :) |

Rape scene didn't stand-out for me, didn't know it was a thing until this thread. Just figured it was another layer of f***ed-up for Jaime Lannister. Just occurred to me it's probably because I wasn't empathising with Cersai, on account of her being a f*****g c***.

That would be .. Caster. Spoiler: Seems so. You also saw a bunch of blurred out white walky things. My thinking is that you have Trash Mob White Walkers, the half rotted ones that die to a bit of Dragonglass in the back, and you have the real White walkers that aren't rotted at all. I wonder if they die as 'easily'. These would have been made from the babies like we saw. I'm also keen to see where they are taking the White Walkers, for we have Melisandre who champions Fire, and obviously the White Walkers are for Ice. (A Song of Ice and Fire). Anyway, it would be far too convenient and easy to label the white walkers/ICE as evil for something with the excellent plot of GoT, so I expect the story to take it into a more neutral ground where you have reason to sort of rally with the White Walkers. last edited by Tollaz0r! at 21:32:46 28/Apr/14 |

I reckon it will be hard to create sympathy and support for a race of blue-eyed, baby stealing, evil old men who use terror inducing screams as communication. Maybe the wildlings will eventually become more sympathetic (despite their recent uptake of mass murder and cannibalism) and will team up with the southerners to kill the WW.

To be expected really, can't really adapt word for word from a book to the screen. Creative liberties always have to be taken, its when they get out of control is the problem (introducing completely new characters or something like that).

I'm figuring that Bolton's guy at the wall is just there to assassinate Jon Snow... He looked slightly different somehow though, like I thought it was him from the hair and scrs, btu had to google to confirm that the character's name matched. Might be another actor switch.

It's always been Noah Taylor. What was it that gave away he's a baddie? His casual attitude to rape, murder and limb separation or the not-so-subtle music change as he stood to join the happy throng of mutiny hunters lead by Jon "turn that frown upside down" Snow? |

Well I don't remember him being banished there, so I figure he's undercover to take out Starks... Which, in retrospect, might explain his listening in on the conversation abotu where Brann might be.

Did you guys not see ep 3 at all? Bolton outright says ill give a keep to the one that finds Bran and Ricon. This just after Ramsey quizzes Theon and he mentions that Jon Snow is at the wall. Its pretty simple 2+2 = why Noah Taylors character is at the wall isnt it?

It's fine if the series deviates from the books. I'd prefer two different takes on the A song of ice and fire world then a direct remake of the books. That way you can enjoy both quite nicely.

Am I the only one who was disappointed with the latest episode? I have read books 1 to 5, and I must say, they are straying so much from the book now. It's ridiculous!!! i thought this ep would a complete pigs breakfast, it was all over the shop and has departed massively from the books. |

Meh, I don't think its really deviating from the books that much. Sounds like most of the b****ing is from the same people who b****ed when the LOTR movies weren't a word-for-word adaptation of what was written on the page. Different mediums, different ways of telling a story, different restrictions, so some things are going to change, but it seems to be hitting all the same story beats to me.
Keep in mind, the books were written from specific characters' points of view, so theres things they can do in the books they can't in the show (like give insight into a character's thoughts, and filter the world through their perceptions), and theres things they can do in the show they can't in the books (like show us what is going on in other parts of the world without needing a character there to witness it). I'm sure the white walker stuff is happening in the books too, because Craster is giving his boys to the white walkers in the books also, but since theres no book character present to see the white walkers take the babies and convert them and all that, its not in the book. Same as the scenes at Craster's Keep, probably still happening in the book also but since nobody was there to see it, its not in the book. I guess Bran's story is a little bit changed, but tbh his story in the books is a bit of a mess after he goes past the wall anyway, so I don't mind them mixing it up and giving him some more interesting stuff to do besides slogging through snow with that coldhands guy and his undead fairy moose. I don't miss that at all, cos it always struck me as a bit silly in the books, and that character went nowhere anyway. Still plenty of room to hit all the important story points with Bran and his group. The stuff with Jon Snow going back to Craster's keep, I'm waiting to see how that plays out, its a change but it could make for some cool scenes and as long as they don't drop any of the other stuff thats coming up to fit it in, I'm happy to have it. Rven outside of the strategic aspect of it, it makes sense Jon would want a bit of payback for what those c**** did to Mormont. |
08:09am 29/04/14 Permalink
I'm with Khel, change is OK. You are watching a TV series, not reading a book.
Yeah, I'm guessing they are leaving Spoiler: the assault on the wall until near the end of the series, last couple of episodes + the other stuff. The crasters arc happening now is helping fill the time until the climatic wall battle. |

Another great episode, the scale of little fingers plotting is really starting to become apparent. As youll see its him that set in motion all the events we have watched unfold from day one either directly or indirectly through his actions. I also liked the nice little death scene at the end which i have to say i enjoyed way to much :-).
I am a bit disappointed that Jon yet again misses Bran by frigging nano seconds, but i guess it has to be that way for Bran to be able to continue his journey. |

Good episode, set up some interesting political threads with the whole "s*** we owe the bank a heap money what we do?!" and Bran's story was actually interesting for once (poor Hodor). Khaleesi's story is starting to get really stupid now. First she wanted to take over the seven kingdoms and so goes on a voyage to find boats, now she finds them but wants to take care of Slave Bay. I mean, there has to be compromises on such a quest but jeez make up your mind.

OK, so that bit with Cersei and Tywin, it is pretty interesting that the Lanisters are basically bankrupted to the Iron Bank?
The Iron Bank will always have it's due. |
09:47pm 05/05/14 Permalink
I didn't take it as the Lannisters were broke, its the crown that owes all the money to the Iron Bank, not the Lannisters. More of a "Well, our mines are tapped out, so we aren't going to be able to cover the crown's debts alone, hence we need the Tyrells". I'm sure we've had this argument before in this same thread! But the Lannisters, and the Crown, are separate things. Its just that the head of house Lannister also happens to be pretty much running the kingdom and his house has been pretty much funding the crown, but they're not one and the same.

I didn't take it as the Lannisters were broke The mines aren't producing!!! Really ? |
10:24pm 05/05/14 Permalink
The Lannisters aren't broke, the Crown/Kingdom is, think of it as a government! And the Lannister family as interested and wealthy investors, who happen to also currently be politicians in said government. Though think they're saying even they aren't rich enough to fund the entire Kingdom alone, so it needs some of the other wealthy houses and the Iron bank. I can't recall anything about the mines not producing.
Is it that surprising? I mean what do we think Westeros's GDP is? What are their main exports? Plus with the recent wars and political turmoil, they're basically in a economic recession. |
10:58pm 05/05/14 Permalink
The whole time during the Cersie/Margaery scene I was waiting for something to happen, but nothing even came of it. Is Cersei really that contemptuous of Joff?
Also, greasier than Joffrery's ..... made me laugh so hard. |

The slave bay thing definitely needed more build up, I didn't even know that there was such a place called slaver's bay until this episode, or that these cities were connected, or that she was stationing people in the cities that she left behind, or anything. It all just got pulled out of the air all of a sudden to make her story awkwardly regressive when it could have been awesome if handled right.

Her whole story is pretty meh, I presume it gets better when she actually crosses the sea and starts s*** up. Its pretty much the whole basis of Game of Thrones, plots thicken and twist and turn, waiting to pop at the right time and when they do it can be either really good (Little Finger's stuff) or just bad (Khaleesi).

I've never read the books nor watched the show up until recently, I started over the Easter / ANZAC and I'mm fully up to date with everything now. I have to say people sperg about this show, maybe because I was listening to the hype and had huge expectations about the show but I don't think it's the best ever. I am glad that f***** Joffrey died, he was a right twat. There is definitely a lot going on with the amount of stories and characters but it keeps it interesting. That red wedding episode was golden, I love how they are happy to kill off main cast members. I was all about Ned and then Rob Stark - now I am cheering for Tyrian (s/p?) and John Snow oddly enough. |

I was totally won over by Arya when she slaughtered the s*** out of that Frey soldier on the road side shortly after the red wedding. As for the Hound he has a total lack of bulls***, the guy is a total thug but you just cant help but love his brutal honesty. Imho the pair of them together is absolute gold.
Arya still comes off as a sweet little thing with a little dirt under her nails and while being clearly phyically fragile has no compunction about sticking you if youre an a******. She isnt the stereo typical "women can do anything" s*** character we get jammed down our throats so often these days she is something better than that. Kind of like Ripley from Alien, you know she is scared but she has some business to take care of and she makes herself get the job done. |

Next episode should be good, we may finally see Tyrion go to trail and see stuff go down. Tywin from the looks of Ep6 preview, will vote him guilty. I think Oberyn won't because even though he hates the Lannisters, voting him guilty too is what Tywin wants.
|
09:42am 09/05/14 Permalink
Poor Tyrion is really getting the shaft tonight, but i guess we always knew that was going to be the case. The more i see of Oberon the more i like him. As for the others, well its clear Jamie doesnt like whats going on but of course he pretty much has to keep his mouth shut i guess in public at least.
All up through i guess this episode was just setting the stage for next week. |
01:47pm 12/05/14 Permalink
I wanted to see more, I guess Ill have to wait til next week :(
I had a feeling it would be trial by combat. Either Jamie will volenteer to be Tyrions champion or Tyrion will ask him. If that is the case, that other kings guard dude will be fighting for the crown, the one that testified against Tyrion. |

And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that Lord of Castamere, But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear. Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall, and not a soul to hear.

I found Varys interesting this episode, he has said previously that he serves the realm but seemed to indicate to Oberyn that he wanted the crown himself. He also said to Tyrion that he doesn't forget a thing and I'm wondering what he meant by that.
I assume the person to fight will be picked by Cersei as the accuser and I'm expecting a fight between Bron and the kings guard guy that featured in the episode, more to the point I want to see a fight between those two. The episode title does seem to indicate a fight between Oberyn and the Mountain though. |

Awesome scenario:
Tyrion demands trial by combat. Tywin, coward he is, picks Jamie to fight for him so he doesn't have to kill Tyrion. Tyrion, awesome he is, uses some loophole that requires whoever he picks to fight for him, and picks Tywin to fight for him. Therefore: For Tywin to "win" and execute Tyrion, he has to die. On the other hand for Tywin to survive, he has to kill Jamie, which then means executing Tywin, so he's killed half of what's left of his family in one go. Alternative: Tyrion chooses Cersei to fight for him. Ahahah ;D Ahh, shame neither of these will happen. |

06:56pm 13/05/14 Permalink
I think itll be the court under Tywin that will pick the mountain knowing itll push Oberon to throw his hat into the ring for Tyrion. Tywin will more or less kill two birds with one stone. If Oberon wins he will in some way be appeased for the revenge he seeks over the death of his sister at the hands of the mountain. If Oberon loses he will no long be an issue to the lannisters.
No matter who wins Tywin can claim he gave Tyrion every possible chance to get out of this. Tywin will see his hands as being clean and justice was served. On top of that he will no doubt hold Jamie to his promise of leaving the kings guard saying that even though Tyrion f***ed up their plan to have him plead guilty they had an agreement and Jamie must fulfill his end of it. I think Tywin showed himself for being a lot more cunning in the last episode than he has before. His quick response to Jamies proposal kind of suggested to me that he knew Jamie was going to do it. Given how lop sided the the trial has been its not hard to see how Tywin may have fixed that in order to force Jamies hand. For those of you that think anyone would ask Jamie to take part in this fight i think youre kidding yourselves. His sister wouldnt put him up for it and Tywin sure as hell wouldnt because either of them gain anything by putting Jamies head on a chopping block with his reduced capacity to fight. As for Tyrion, well he loves his brother and simply wouldnt want to risk him. Its more likely in my mind that Tyrion will ask for Bronn and Oberon will put his hand up. |

Well the fight between Oberon and the Mountain didnt happen tonight as some of us thought it might. So the episode title was a little misleading. Arya came through again with a little bit of her darkside, gotta love the way she can flip back and forth between normal little girl and stone cold killer in a blink. It was always kind of nice to get a peek inside the Hounds mind albeit brief. I have to say i felt sorry for the guy because the pain he suffered was more than just the physical.
Nice to see the moon door featuring tonight, although it does worry me that Sansa had to witness her aunt going for a fly. I cant help but feel that puts her in more danger than she has ever been in before because she now knows way to much about little finger and given how calculating that prick is i could see him silencing her in a flash if he thought itd benefit him or if she was to pose a risk to his plans. |
06:14pm 19/05/14 Permalink
Nah he killed her because of Sansa, no way he would hurt her after that. Sansa has no one else in the world anyway, she survived Joffery and the Lanisters so she knows how to keep her head down.
I was sitting on the edge of my seat with a stupid grin on my face waiting for the big fight and now I am much disappoint. Something to look forward to I guess. |

Hah, I forgot from the books that Lysa took a dive out of the moon door. Great stuff!

filler ep: I'd argue the opposite, they had some pretty big moments especially with Tyrion and Oberyn. The bit with Arya chatting to the dead guy was definitely filler, but she is turning into a straight badass chick so I don't care. All I want is to see that little turd thrown through the moon door and all will be well. |

Was kind of disappointed that they made Lysa scream as she fell. It's specifically mentioned in the book how she doesn't even flinch when he pushes her after telling her he only loved Cat. It felt a bit more intense that way. Oh well, still happy to see her die.
Rorge and Biter killed off too! Also, doesn't look like anyone posted this yet. |

Old Daario was kinda lame, but new Daario is a complete tosser. He could at least dye his beard blue.
It feels like some running joke now that the mountain seems to get recast every time he appears. They new guy is only 24, wtf, he's meant to be the Hound's older brother. Cool ep though, nice to see Bronn get a good send off. |
11:06am 20/05/14 Permalink
They new guy is only 24, wtf, he's meant to be the Hound's older brother. Yeah, that's one thing that's putting me off. He's also supposed to be a complete psycho but the new guy just looks super friendly. I really wish they were able to keep the guy from the first season, he perfectly captured the crazy of the mountain. |
12:03pm 20/05/14 Permalink
the new guy looks super friendly? :) he was chopping up people as they begged for mercy!@!! haha
i agree the first mountain was well-cast.. huge crazyman! the 2nd mountain was this tall solemn dude that didn't seem like the mountain at all. 3rd mountain has the physique & seems to like chopping people up :p good ep imo! some ppl just have teary tuesdays ;D |

Ozzy Man Reviews +1. Just great - thx for the heads up going to go watch a few of his previous. Law and order was pretty ok
i dunno about the mountain. Lots of big of stature guys have really mellow personalities if you meet them in real life - really nice gentlemen. This guy looks to be one of those which normally is nice but when your trying to be the murderous Mountain its just not so convincing. Of course i wouldn't say that to his face ;p |

New episode of Penny Dreadful too, someone brought it up in the Constantine thread a few weeks ago and I dismissed it at the time cos it sounded kinda stupid, but after seeing it was getting pretty reasonable reviews I grabbed it anyway. Glad I did, cos I'm pretty hooked on it now, its quite cool.

after so much build up - they only devoted the last 10 minutes of episode 8 to the main thread of 6 and 7. Even with the ninja scrolls style head poppin I was much disappointment :( Spoiler: |

I disagree, if they spent more than 10 minutes on a 1v1 duel it would have gotten incredibly tedious. There was ample time to hit all the points they needed to.

09:29am 03/06/14 Permalink
hey got the wall bro. what giants going to do against a massive ice wall? The Wildlings don't know about that secret entrance do they? The one that Sam used. |
09:56am 03/06/14 Permalink
In the books that gate entrance is a wail wood tree and only a sworn brother can open it by saying his vows then the mouth of the face opens to make the entrance. The wall was made with magic to keep out things like giants and the others. |
10:03am 03/06/14 Permalink
The Wall was built when magic was strong. The spells still linger on the wall. But the main thing is the Wall is made up of 50+ meters of solid ice in thickness and about 250 meters tall. It isn't going to be pushed over by a giant or an army of giants. There are the gates though and they have to be defended. John wanted to seal them up with ice, which is a really fkn good idea. But nnnooopppeee d***wards wanted to power play over john because of Ego. Let's see how that works out.
|
10:34am 03/06/14 Permalink
That "secret" entrance is into a completely different structure. As for the wall there is a passage and a gate which they talked about at some length in the last episode, you know the one John said wouldnt stop the giants. |
10:53am 03/06/14 Permalink
Ah good to hear than. Yeah I have a feeling that Warden dude's choice to not seal up the entrance will bite him in the ass later, be interesting.
|
11:19am 03/06/14 Permalink
In the books that gate entrance is a wail wood tree and only a sworn brother can open it by saying his vows then the mouth of the face opens to make the entrance. Where did this come from? i dont recall that being the case from reading the books but maybe i missed it? From what i read there is no godswood at castle black so no heart tree (a Weirwood tree that has a face carved into the wood of the trunk). There is one a mile north of the Wall in the Haunted Forest where new recruits can take their vows. Tho the magic thing from the show is pretty true to the books. Magic is referred to as "the higher mysteries". Apparently mages were a thing back in the day (way way back when the wall was created) but magic died when dragons died off. Now dragons are back magic is getting stronger |
01:38pm 03/06/14 Permalink
Where did this come from? it's true. The Black Gate is a hidden gate that allows passage to the other side of the Wall and is as old as the Wall itself. It is set deep in a wall of the well at the centre of the kitchens and is made of white weirwood with a face on it. The face is old, pale, shrunken, and wrinkled with white eyes. The door glows. |
02:59pm 03/06/14 Permalink
ah i was confused. thx for clarifying. I misread the reference to be the main gate at Castle black - but he was talking about the "secret" entrance. my bad
|
03:12pm 03/06/14 Permalink
Isn't that at the nightfort though?
|
05:51pm 03/06/14 Permalink
You are indeed correct that the secret gate is at the nightfort. i got mixed up as people were talking about john snow defending a gate against giants and then someone said something else about a gate so i just thought it was the same gate being discussed. They were different gates.
|
06:14pm 03/06/14 Permalink
I really liked Oberyn and am rather disappointed he's not in it anymore. The way he died was gruesome to say the least. I was so keen to see the Mountain go down, alas not to be.
Now the trick question is, does Tyrion get to live on and avoid the executioner. I really like Tyrion and hope he lives on. |
06:53pm 03/06/14 Permalink
He got stabbed through the chest with a spear, pretty sure he is going down. Just Oberyn went down quicker. |
10:18pm 03/06/14 Permalink
pretty sure he is going downI didn't catch an exact view of Mountain's last breath in the episode so I wasn't all too sure whether he is dead or was about to be. |
11:07pm 03/06/14 Permalink
What happens if both the Mountain and the Viper die in battle?
e.g. Ol Mr Mountain keels over as he goes up to high five Cersei? Then what? Is Tyrion considered redeemed or is it just 'keep picking people to battle until there's a clear and still living winner' type scenario? At what point will Oberyn's bisexual lover hatef*** Cersei? Is Sansa really bad ass now? Will we see her sitting on a little finger at some point? Why doesn't Daenerys jump on her dragon (not a euphenism) and lay waste to some s***? |
11:20pm 03/06/14 Permalink
Spoiler:
Apparently The Mountain was poisoned so he'll die eventually |
11:33pm 03/06/14 Permalink
Man that was brutal. Great but brutal.
So where are we with the wildlings? There is a raiding party past the wall (Ygritte and co). But the main force is still behind the wall and thats what we will be seeing next episode? It seems Sansa had stopped being a whiney little girl and has stepped up. She had the power to save Peter or see justice done. You see here in the new dress, I guess is symbolic of her new attitude. Its darker then what she would normally ware. http://i.imgur.com/m5wSm3A.jpg |

http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2014/06/06/ This would be an interesting idea. Would love to see some of the massive eps like the last one and the red wedding with friends who haven't read the books. Pricing would be a major factor. It would be maybe best to buy a few episodes or something but then they would have to admit that you are pirating the rest to keep up. A cool thing to do would be to offer a season of downloads to buy and include the major eps from each season available at your local theatre. Networks and media types need to shake things up if they want people to actually pay for their content. |

01:01am 10/06/14 Permalink
Not a bad episode. I would have liked to have seen some Tyrion stuff though.
I agree that the mid-combat hold-me-while-I-die thing seemed out of place. They did not even have any background sounds of the fighting while this was happening. I don't really understand why Jon went north of the wall. Seems like a dumb idea, its not like 10k wildlings are just siting near the treeline or anything. Mance is going South and he seems pretty determined. It just doesn't make sense. |
04:53am 10/06/14 Permalink
Yeah i gotta wonder what he hopes to achieve, its not like he has anything to offer them. Mance has white walkers to his back and the wall in front and of those two things its pretty clear he'd rather deal with the wall and the nights watch. I got the feeling though that some how John thinks if he kills Mance he can break up the wildlings. He did after all make the point that without Mance the wildlings will just break up and cease to be a problem.
It just seems to me to be him going and throwing himself away for nothing. I cant honestly see him being in a position to kill Mance. |
07:29am 10/06/14 Permalink
In the book he was forced to do that, it doesn't make sense that he chose to. O well.

10:37am 11/06/14 Permalink
Why send 1000s up a wall if they can be killed with one swift stroke ... which they found out they have the capabilities with that massive chain thing. Even Jon Snow clearly explains it - "Mance was just testing our defences".
Yep. Dozen of guys and a giant get killed and they set a mammoth on fire. Only that giant survived.
An order to attack. The attack on the wall seemed more like a diversion for the attack on the rear.
It didn't really bother me. Pretty simple stuff. |

“It’s the best finale we’ve ever done, bar none,†Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss said in a statement. “The performances from our cast, the direction from Alex Graves, the VFX work, the new [music] cues from Ramin Djawadi—all of it came together in perhaps the finest hour we’ve produced. We’re immensely proud of ‘The Children.’ And a little intimidated by the episode, because now we have to get back to the business of season five and figure out a way to top it.†Source http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/06/09/game-of-thrones- The worst part about next week's episode is I know I'll be waiting another year until I see the next season. It'll be very interesting to see what is revealed and what they are saving for the next season too. On the upside, this episode is supposed to be longer than normal, people are saying it'll be 66mins long. woo! |

12:23pm 16/06/14 Permalink
Good episode. Poor old Hound. I guess Arya does have her own agenda.
I did not expect the stuff that Tyrion did, You could see Tywin try and weasel his way out of that situation. This works in Jamie and Cersi's favour that Tywin is dead, more time for incest. Poor old Varries, looks like he is going with Tyrion now. Also, does anyone know what happened to that old wizard dude that Varries had brought over from one of the free cities? Never saw anything else with regards to that. Wonder what Bran and Co are going to be doing next season. What exactly is going to happen to him. Would be interesting to see what Stannis does now. Also the red woman was looking at John, she might have plans for him. All in all, not a bad episode. |
03:43pm 16/06/14 Permalink
Arya has to be the unluckiest character in the show. She missed her mother by a few hundred yards, but of had she met up with her she could have ended up dead herself. She then misses her sister by again a few hundred yards, mind you ending up anywhere near little finger could been a problem. To top it all off though probably the only person that knows she's alive and actually wants to keep her safe she runs away from. Its almost like she is a ghost that with the exception of Brienne and Podrick no one even knows she is still out there. Her story for me is probably the most interesting.
I have to wonder, did she leave the hound to die because she wanted him to suffer or because she couldnt bring herself to finish him off? Its not like she has an issue with killing but at the same time it seems to me that her relationship with him wasnt as clear cut in the end. |
03:58pm 16/06/14 Permalink
Also, does anyone know what happened to that old wizard dude that Varries had brought over from one of the free cities? This guy? http://i.imgur.com/UF4fdfk.png This is Illyrio Mopatis, he's a rich merchant and has been laying low in Pentos since the whole Viserys Targaryen getting dumped with molten gold thing went down. He'll be back though. :D |
03:58pm 16/06/14 Permalink
I assume he meant the guy in the crate, the one that cut off Varys' junk when he was a kid and cast a spell with it.
I don't think he shows up again, it was mainly to serve that particular scene, but its probably safe to assume he died a horrible death or is still dying/being tortured down in a black cell somewhere. |

Wtf was that tacked on zombie fight scene with Bran? And Jojen isn't sposed to die is he? And wtf with Varys leaving? And they completely left out the whole conversation Tyrion has with Jaime after he frees him about how that girl he fell in love with and married when he was younger wasn't really a whore and Tywin made him say that? I mean, that was the whole motivation for him going back to kill him in the first place (as well as being one of my favourite scenes and character moments in the whole series). Best part of the whole episode was Stannis riding in to save the day and that was over and done with in the first 10 minutes.
That was just all over the place, not sure I really liked where they went with all that. Disappointed. |
07:32pm 16/06/14 Permalink
Tyrion already had ample reason to kill the man trying to kill him, but that's an interesting part that they left out (maybe the whore story was thought to be be too easily forgotten or something).
|
07:54pm 16/06/14 Permalink
He had ample reason to hate him, but not really to KILL him, didn't feel like he'd been pushed far enough in the show to me. Sure, seeing Shae in his bed gave him some motivation, but he had no real motivation to turn around and go back there in the first place. Its like, well I could go up the stairs and knock on this door and be free.... or turn around and go back for no reason at all.

The issue with tyrion and his first wife still looms pretty large in his mind particularly when it comes to how he sees his old man. Itd be easy to see how that info about what the real story was from jamie would have easily pushed tyrion to seek his dad out for some payback. My missus asked me what tyrion was doing in the hands chamber and i couldnt give her a good answer since we didnt get jamies story. I mean had tyrion not known that why wouldnt he have just legged it and escaped? Just seems a bit odd to me that there appeared to be nothing really motivating to go after tywin. |

Also, what in the actual f*** is with Stannis 'rocking up' north of the wall. That right there is the most double-ewe tee eff moment of this season. It literally makes zero sense... my memory may be a tad foggy, I *think* they mentioned it when Stannis credit bounced @ the Iron Bank... I think my biggest problem with it is the mad levels of 'writer convenience' going on... (Many hundred cavalry [being led by a broke king] turn up with no means to feed or protect themselves from the environment; at timing so convenient etc etc) Alternatively, the red woman. (sure sure, 'the red woman foresaw it') It just seemed absurdly convenient. |

Skeleton zombie fight scene was awesome and made the north even feel more like Skyrim than giants and mammoths did, and was actually well animated to the point that it didn't look like CG to me, so, I forgive them.

I really liked that episode, was well laid out and closed off a lot of character plots. Sucks that Dance won't be in any more as I really love him as an actor, but his character was getting too greedy with his consistent "family is everything" attitude. I do agree that Stannis' apt timing was a bit odd, but hey at least they tied it up quickly.
Was actually happy to see Bran's story unfold in a more interesting way than Lord of the Rings 2.0 where all they did was walk. Quite good CGI and definitely made the North more scary. Eager to see how they go with the tree children wizard chicks. Oh yeah Daenerys' bit was still crap, though I guess she'll just be the plot wedge that pushes the whole "dragons vs ice walkers" shtick. |
10:30pm 16/06/14 Permalink
They made a mistake cramming all of the end of book 3 into 10 episodes. That scene with Jamie saving Tyrion was a massive character build of both Jamie and Tyrion, especially Tyrion. To skip it was wrong, as Khel said, it had a direct bit to play in the death of both Tywin and Shae. Without it, Tyrion wouldn't have been angry enough to risk his escape just to have a chance of seeing his dad, not even sure what he was going to do.
They f***ed it. Stannis does make sense. Stannis was boned where he was at Dragonstone, he couldn't launch an assault on Kings Landing vs Lannisters + Highgarden. Dorne has no reason to side with Stannis. Saving the North does two things, gives him a very strong practically unassailable position on the Wall, plus makes him look like the King who cares by saving the people. Not that the people know. It was an excellent strategic move, I'm also guessing strategically sound for Melisandre's fight against the Dark. The timing was just complete luck, sometimes lucky s*** happens. Enough has happened in this series where you can't count on luck again and again. But every now and then it's OK. |
10:32pm 16/06/14 Permalink
I really hope they do more than 10 episodes next seasons, trying to force it all into 10 episodes forces them to take cuts, and as we've seen the cuts are sometimes work against the show. Others cuts and splices are cool, Brieane vs the Hound was a great splice. They even tricked the book readers a little there.

The cuts wouldn't be so bad if they weren't adding in a bunch of less interesting s***.

10:46pm 16/06/14 Permalink
I didn't know what the hell Tyrion was doing sneaking about so yeah it did feel (to a non-book person) like it was a bit of a stretch.
Also the lack of security seemed odd. The fact that Tywin's chambers and privy were open and unguarded seemed unlikely but maybe that's how they roll. Bran finally got to the magic faraway tree. Great. So maybe something will actually happen in that arc. OK so I'm guessing that since there is a dragon on the loose and he has been promised flying at some point he's gonna warg out on the dragon and burn up some three year olds of his very own. Also Danerys! FFS! Ok we get it, you freed the slaves but are they really free or just uncooked BBQ and guys with Stockholm syndrome? That carry on has been happening for about three eps now and it's been a bit yawn to watch one of the hottest prudes on TV play Judge Judy and look perplexed. Get on a dragon and f*****g ride it. Preferably topless. I know, no nudity clause etc etc but seriously Danerys straddling a fire-breathing lizard with her tits bouncing around would enough incentive for 90% of the viewing public to throw down their torrents and hand over their credit cards. So she tied up her pets. Maybe if she spent some time with them instead of cooped up in the pyramid smiling through her teeth at her ungrateful subjects, they wouldn't be off stealing sheep and playing fricassee the goatherd. Poor old Hound. I liked him. I have forgotten all the bad s*** he did and wanted him to punch Brienne off that cliff. But at the same time I kinda like Brienne as well. I like her moxy. I'd be a bit disappointed to see her whipped off the cliff by ze Hound, but i thought it was a nice touch that she copped a boot in the clacker. I liked the fight, and I secretly hoped they'd battle to the point of exhaustion, realise they were each other's equal and then team up and go on adventures together, but alas. Still, the Hound didn't actually die on screen, so there's a possibility that there really was a meister hiding behind the rock. But probably not. And what about The Mountain. What is he going to turn into? A werewolf? A white-walkery type undead thing? Something that can satisfy Cersei? Is there such a beast? Another year to wait? F*** it, I may as well just read the damn books. |
11:37pm 16/06/14 Permalink
I didn't know what the hell Tyrion was doing sneaking about so yeah it did feel (to a non-book person) like it was a bit of a stretch. Ok so in the books, its a massive secret passage that leads all over the place in the Tower of the Hand. He sneaks past a door that opens to 2 guards, and goes in the second which opens to the hearth of The Hands solar. Kills Shae than finds his old man on the s******. But the awesome bit they missed out on was a chat with Jaimie confessing about Tysha not being a whore, and she really loved him, then Tywin not remembering / caring about her when Tyrion asks. Then him asking where do whores go. Then the bolt thru the guts and he s****, followed by a comment about Tywin not s***ting gold like everyone believes. |

Davos comes in, pays the pirate, and tells him they're setting sail the next day. Hehe, I loved the quote. Best double entendre of the season. Davos tosses a pouch of coins at Salladhor Saan and says: "There's a chest of that stuff back at your house. I gave it to your wife." but i thought it was a nice touch that she copped a boot in the clacker Yeah the dirty fighting was great. Rarely does a punch to the balls get followed up by a c*** punt. Gwendoline Christie said she and Rory McCann were really pumped during the fight |

That right there is the quote of the thread; Thanks IncrEdible_vEgetable, you've made my morning :P Also, Season 4 produced some of the Hounds finest moments. I enjoyed that fight scene more than the head popping of episode 8. Part of me knows he's not coming back, but dayum, that takes the 'cool characters' toll of Season 4 to new heights... (at the rate we're going it'll be set in a day-care centre soon, everyone older than 3 will be dead...) Have we heard from Edmure Tully or the Blackfish this season? (to end my 'Stannis-saves-the-day' rant) Ok, so 'strategically' it makes sense. It just proper shat me off that it occured as it did. I'll take your point Toll in that 'every now and then it's OK'. (I'd be curious to know if it occurred similarly in the books.) I guess I was more pissed off about this when I wrote it coz it occurs to me I've got nothing but crap to watch currently, and no sign of reprieve in the line-up of television shows to follow... |

Pretty much you read it from Snows perspective, all you read about is Knights on horses flanking the Wildling Army yelling "Stannis Stannis Stannis' it really is quite epic and you sort of think, wow didn't see that coming. |
08:21am 17/06/14 Permalink
Yeah it totally came out of left field in the book, although it was hinted at throughout, just a little.
I've decided to read ahead now. |
08:30am 17/06/14 Permalink
stannis's attack was forecast a fair while back when melisandra says she has seen "a great battle in the north" involving stannis. it still felt really compressed though as in a prior ep they were talking to the iron bank. they completely left out davos talking to the northern lords & getting chucked in jail again... although that was pretty tedious so prolly why they left it out.
i agree with khel that leaving out jamie's betrayal of tyrion was a bit crap & also agree with cheez that the changing of tyrion's dialog after he kills tywin was also a bit of a bummer. but still ... really enjoyed the show! :D |
08:59am 17/06/14 Permalink
You guys forget, they also dumped a bit of stuff that gets stuck in Jamies head and really pushes him as a Character, in that very same scene that was dumped. Such a stupid thing to dump, it's like the show writers have no clue about that scene...
|
09:14am 17/06/14 Permalink
They most likely do know what is going on in the books, and are just trying to work around in with TV format. Its like the Harry Potter books to movies, things were cut and switched around which pissed me off but I sort of understood things couldn't be exactly the same. If it was 1:1 you'd get parts that just don't translate well from a book format to TV format, like character monologues or such.
|
09:41am 17/06/14 Permalink
Of course they know, however to ignore such a massive character driving moment for two of the shows most important characters seems... very odd indeed. For people who didn't read the books many say it is at odds for Tyrion to do what he did. Why be so dumb to risk his escape on a chance of seeing daddy, without a weapon mind you.
In the book he was very, very angry and with good reason. Plenty good reason to risk his escape. O well. A golden moment lost to TV. |
10:12am 17/06/14 Permalink
Yeah, like the whole Jar Jar dialogue. I'm sure that looked great on paper, as a script. I'd say 'get out' but I'm more compelled to ask.... Was Jar Jar ever in a book before the prequel trilogy came into being? |

Yeah the first three books are safe. The minor spoiler Cheez refers to is awesome so don't let that stop you from reading through.
As a bonus glynd, you get to: a) Act smug when people lose their s*** at each tv episode; and b) Join us in the GoT for Real Men thread! |

Surely you can't join the real men thread until you have finished the most recent book yeah?

I'd say if you're going to read them, just read them all. The show is starting to diverge a bit from the books anyway, and due to the way the timeline works between books 3, 4, and 5 theres not really going to be a strict correlation anymore between which season is which book, its gonna be jumping all over the place (for example, Bran meeting the children of the forest and the guy inside the tree, happens in book 5).

definately read the books.
the tv show (while great, awesomely shot and well cast) barely scratches the surface of whats really going on. i woudlnt even care if the books are going to ruin the show, you will get the same if not more enjoyment from teh books and then still a fair chunk of joy from watch the tv show even when you know whats going to happen (loosely) |

Sweet, if it's just a minor for the start of the next season, I don't mind. As long as it's not major enough to really spoil it.
And yeah, really want to stay behind the TV show. I've watched every episode since day 1 with my bro so half the fun is having the mind blown after every episode. Sweet, I'll read the first three books then. Would far rather do that than re-watch the first few seasons as I know they've left a few things out so it'll change things up. Cheers for that! |

I just read that article on piracy and as per usual is was just the same tired old s***, oh noes you're all stealing. That f***** from foxtel has a nerve and he is singing the same retarded tune we heard from the music industry more than a decade ago, what a shock. If other businesses used the same model these f***heads do crime would be rampant, can you imagine going to the servo to fill your car up but not being able to do it unless you bought a package that included a car wash, 3 packets of smokes and a half dozen rolls of dunny paper? The only reason foxtel is even able to maintain a model like this is because they have absolutely zero serious competition, which of course is just the way old man Murdoch likes his business.
Its f*****g ridiculous and frankly anything anyone can do to f*** with that system is alright by me. Then you get comments like this from that f***wit Brandis "Australia, I am sorry to say, is the worst offender of any country in the world when it comes to piracy," Does this guy not get the fact that in this "digital" age Aussies have been getting f***ed at every turn by scumbag companies seeking to exploit the living s*** out of us because of our location. People are getting f***ed and they know it and rightfully they don't like it. The fact that this guy plays it off like its Australians that created this problem just goes to show how f*****g clueless he is. |

I stopped reading the books because I pretty much want to preserve that sense of shock you get at events like the red wedding and Oberyn's death. I also don't want to be one of those sad cases that can't appreciate the show because it does something different to the books.
Anyway I thought the ending was pretty good, I especially liked the part with Arya and Dog the Bounty Hunter. It seemed to me she didn't kill him as a symbol that he was off her list and taking his money showed she had learnt from him. The fight leading up to it was awesome. Tyrion's escape seemed really off, there was no lead up to it just big bro knocking on the door with a plan and an apparent alliance with Varys. |

in a digital age there shouldn't be the restrictions place on direct supply that there currently are
if someone could work on a way to make it legal it would be great for all, well, not murdoch, but f*** that guy |

here's a handy image that shows you which chapters have appeared on the show so far Interesting... I still haven't read the latest book so I didn't quite realise how far into ADWD the show had ventured. Looks like the Daenerys storyline might be on the sidelines for a while in season 5. |

Book 4 and 5 happen at roughly the same time, it was originally meant to be one book but got too long, so half the characters are in book 4 and half are in book 5, so it'll likely be all over the place from here on out. And I guess the show creators know whats going to happen in book 6 so they might even start dipping into that. Doesn't look like that image includes the season finale though? Cos all that Bran stuff was from book 5 too.
