Hot Heart Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Now that was a good episode. A nice mixture of agonising, machinations and revelations. Reveal hidden contents The Nightwatch stuff. Holy shit! I saw the Daenerys thing coming but, damn, that was really well executed. Some lovely cinematography and music, boosted by a really strong performance from Emilia Clarke. I think she's done a great job with the character's journey and you can really hear how her 'commanding' voice has become strong where before it was (deliberately) weaker.

TCP Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Somewhat vague book spoilers: Reveal hidden contents Yeah, it's too bad this is her peak and the next 3+ seasons will be her fucking wasting time in Essos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Cowboy, they will probably skip over or streamline much of that. Next season will finish out ASOS (still exciting stuff), then season 5 will begin the ADWD material (since it's concurrent with AFFC), which was actually pretty eventful for the most part. So really they just need to spice up season 4 and the begnning of season 5's storyline a bit somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 All I care about is that the freaking snowy cliffhanger of book 5 is resolved or I'm gonna go apeshit. I don't care who does it. Also more Jon Snow, less Sansa. She doesn't get good until AFFC. At least imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Also never said it but I liked this episode. What's her face, the old tyrell, man what great freaking casting. She steals every scene she's in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Dame Diana Rigg. Yeah, I said it before but she is real good. Having her and Varys in scenes is great. Edited April 23, 2013 by Hot Heart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Some amazing scenes in that episode: Reveal hidden contents The Old Bear & the Watch's rebellion Theon's regret and recapture--wow. Marg & Joff at the Sept Varys and the sorcerer The Hound & Beric And of course, Dany and her Unsullied. Book readers may note that Tywin was writing and sealing a letter of some kind while talking to Cersei... Just a really well done episode.

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Reveal hidden contents Yes, the camera work that focuses on his writing suggests it's a letter to the Freys or Boltons organizing the Red Wedding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 You mean the whole discussion about starting a war when Tyrion got taken and that what do you think he'd do for Jaime? Good point. I hope they go over later on how Reveal hidden contents They are basically disgusted by what the Boltons and Freys did and know that if they were to reclaim peace that they'd have to get rid of them as a matter of honor/gain respect of the other houses.

Hot Heart Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Oh, I meant the little discussion... Reveal hidden contents ...regarding Joffrey.

I would advise that you stay away from spoiler tags now that the season is up and going and things are starting to happen. A bunch of us know what is coming whether it's Westeros events or beyond and you don't want to be spoiled. Trust me. If anyone doesn't mark their spoilers properly then the show will become a bit less fun for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 So where will season 3 end? Reveal hidden contents The Red Wedding will obviously be in season 3, but episode 9's are often "shockers" (Ned's head), and I vaguely recall Joffrey's wedding not being too far after that. If Joffrey's wedding was episode 10, then Tyrion killing his Tywin and leaving for Essos could be the end of season 4. Or they could just have Joffrey's wedding in the middle of season 4 but seeing Joff die could be a good way to end things off after watching the Starks get brutally murdered. Who knows.

Waldorf and Statler Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Can we agree as a whole to have current episode discussions as non-spoilers and book stuff as spoilers? That might be easier to avoid people reading book stuff. And yeah Cowboy, episode 9's tend to be shockers. So whatever big thing they decide will be there with 10 being the aftermath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So whatever big thing they decide will be there with 10 being the aftermath I went ahead and edited the title to indicate the thread will have current episode spoilers. Book spoilers should still be marked. Spoilers through A Storm of Swords: Reveal hidden contents As for the end of the season, the final episode is called Mhysa, which means mother, so I think it will end with the liberation of Yunkai or Mereen--Mereen most likely. As episode 9 is going to be absolutely crushing, I think 10 will try to give viewers a bit of hope for what's to come. I am currently doubting that they'll do the purple wedding, though I hope they do, as it will balance with the red wedding so well (and they're setting up for it with all the machinations in King's Landing). Possibly they'll foreshadow the purple wedding and Lady Stoneheart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 So if I can talk about Dany getting the Unsullied without spoiler tags?But if I'm talking about A Storm of Sword I have to spoiler like so?: Reveal hidden contents Yeah the balance is what I'm talking about! I think it'd work well, anything that's too crushing can be discouraging to viewers. But if the episode title is Mhysa, it might be more Dany-centric.

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Yeah if you're talking about ASOS beyond the most recently aired episode or AFFC/ADWD/TWOW and beyond material, spoiler tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 So was there a reason for Theon to be freed, led around the middle of nowhere for a while, then brought right back to the torture chamber? I mean, it's funny, but what's the practical reason for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 That guy released him and got the confession out of him that Bran/Rickon are still alive. Now the Boltons know. This could be important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
