Game Of Thrones - HBO Discussion

[deliciousV]

Another great episode - Igrette is starting to get to me. I'd like to find a cave for about 5 minutes with her

she'd kill you for trying to do awful things to her.

[Recyclerz]

she'd kill you for trying to do awful things to her.

I dunno, if you dive in face first she seems a lot easier to get along with. I say go for it Bob.

[sailor]

I have no idea what happened on like 90% of this episode.

Loras likes pretty dresses and big weddings because loras is the gay.

What specifically was confusing? Most seemed pretty straightforward.

Who did Joffre kill and why?

Why was the red headed Stark girl crying?

Why did the red headed witch take away the boy?

What happened between Varys and the other guy?

[underdog]

I found an episode recap. Everything makes sense now.

[Gutter]

I hope that kid dies in a really gruesome and torturous way that lasts about an entire season.

[Gutter]

the only thing that doesn't make much sense to me is whats the deal with the Watchers of the Wall? A bunch of these dudes were killed, they're strewn about north of the wall I suppose, and it seemed like there were an ass load of winter zombies that I thought were right at the front gates of the wall, but haven't been seen since the beginning of this season. Just a bit confused as to where all these different moving pieces are currently located.

Dammit, I knew those!

Im just trying to figure out who that dude is that keeps torturing the one Stark stepchild (Im horrible with the names on this show) and why he keeps doing it.

Theon Greyjoy. I don't think we're meant to know yet.

Theon Greyjoy. I don't think we're meant to know yet.

I think it has something to do with Theon killing those two random kids from season 2 when he was trying to take Winterfell.

That was another great mindfuck from him last show.

that was one of my guesses too

[Gutter]

yea, that was wild.

[Gutter]

that was one of my guesses too

It's got to be retribution for something we've seen him do. I don't think they would drag out this storyline in the show and have the big reveal be something that was from the past, as in, before the show started. That being said, the most effed up thing that he's done was having those two kids killed so ppl would think he killed the Stark boys.

But if it's for that, isn't it too crazy that mystery man killed a few of their own people for the first mindfuck?

[Recyclerz]

OK, this might be an admission that I'm paying a little too much attention to a TV show but I caught this on last night's episode and it pulled me out of the narrative for a second. I'll throw it up here for comment (and for mockery should any of you be unable to resist):

When the gay Tyrell kid (Loras?) was forced to chat up Sansa (again ?) Stark in that garden - whilst he was running through his favorite wedding fashion did he mention "French sleeves"?

I haven't read the books so my knowledge of Westeros is limited to what I've seen on the program, but counter to a lot of the awful things that go on there I thought it had the benefit of being Franceless.

Please advise.

[Gutter]

Not if the soldiers he killed were actually provided by Theon's father. I'm thinking mystery man is a lord with some sort of influence. Influence enough to convince Theon's father that in retribution for the murder of his brothers (or sons) by Theon's hand, he gets to torture Theon with the help of men whose alligance lies with the King of the Ironborn. DA DA DAAAAAAAA!!!!

Googled it and others thought that, but it seems he said fringe sleeves (which another googling proved to be an actual thing. Who knew?!)

[Gutter]

That HAS to be too crazy.

Which, in Game of Thrones, is par for the course haha

[CountryBob]

Read the books like me and you will know all of the answers so far

[sailor]

Yeah, looking up families it's really obvious which one theon is a prisoner of.

[HBox]

Kind of a spoiler, but I'm not gonna outright say who Theon's torturer is or which house is belongs to.

It's outright stated who went to Winterfell to take Theon last season, the horn in this episode was a callback to that. In addition, the image of Theon strapped to the torture device is this house's sigil, which was visible in another scene in this episode. And what the torturer is doing to Theon in this episode is a signature of his house. All the clues are there even if they are not overtly highlighted.

[sailor]

Kind of a spoiler, but I'm not gonna outright say who Theon's torturer is or which house is belongs to.



Yeah, that's all what I was referring to, what bugs me is shouldn't theon know the other houses and who would do things this way? Was he not educated in such matters like they showed arya in love first season?

[realmenhatelife]

I was lazy because I already knew who Theon's mysterious torturer was, but good catch on all those clues.

[King Imp]

I gotta say, I think I'm done after this season.

To be honest, to me there are too many storylines and characters to follow and quite frankly the only thing that interested me when this show started seems to be something they don't care to delve into and make a full fledged storyline out of. That would be the White Walkers.
Being I never read the books, I went into this cold not knowing what it was about. Seeing the White Walkers in the very beginning got my attention and I thought would be a major storyline in this whole thing. Then you didn't see or hear a peep about them until the last episode of Season 2. That last 5 minutes of last season was the only thing that brought me back for Season 3 because I thought they were going to actually get into them. Silly me for being fooled a 2nd time. Now we're over half way through this season and once again no White Walkers.

Unless someone can tell me without a shadow of a doubt that they will be front and center soon, then unfortunately I'm out.

[Dirtbag]

I'm kinda glad they're glossing over the white walkers. Not particularly interested in The Walking Dead: Middle Earth myself.

There are no real spoilers in this text, but some people may not want to know how prominant a role the white walkers play in the upcoming, so some tags.

If you're just waiting around for the White Walkers you should probably jump off now. They just arent in the books that much, although the threat of what a coming winter means is more real. The battle at the First of the First Men is actually a very white walkery affair and they chose not to show it in the show. There is one more major white walker moment coming up this season, and they actually have set it up so I do think you'll see it. In the long run the ultimate showdown seems to be headed to the north, but thats potentially 2 books away so god knows how many years. And they never stop introducing characters and stories, so if that frustrates you it just keeps going.

[Misteriosa]

Who did Joffre kill and why?
He killed Ros, the prostitute that Varys was using to spy on Littlefinger. I guess he wanted to feel what it was like to kill someone. (that scene didnt happen in the books)
Why was the red headed Stark girl crying?
Tyrion told her that she had to marry him and not Loras.
Why did the red headed witch take away the boy?
that scene didnt happen in the books. at least not yet, since i just started book 5 so i cant be 100% sure. iirc, melisandre slipped a hint about it. i know why she took him tho, which means there is gonna be a WHOLE lot of story cut out. when i saw it i yelled at the tv "are you fucking kidding me?!?! http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/13.gif"
What happened between Varys and the other guy?
if you mean Varys and Petyr/Littlefinger, they hate each other i guess and have always been spying on each other. they are the lords of secrets in king's landing. they dont want competition. http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/106.gif

i dont think theon would have been able to kill the younger stark boys if he had found them. they were like his brothers and werent old enough to have "wronged him" yet. theon saved bran's life not to long before. He had those farm boys killed to save face and save bran and rickon. it was fucked up but merciful at the same time. remember: highborns are worth more than lowborns in westeros.

When she said she needed king's blood and then showed up there I thought it was pretty clear she was taking gendry.

Seems he's still struggling with where to place his loyalties even after he attempted to become Prince of Winterfell.

[underdog]

Finally, the ONE fucking thing I've been waiting for for 2 seasons reappears. This better be a major part of the 3rd season storyline and not just 5 lame minutes every other episode, otherwise I am done. The rest of this show just isn't holding my attention, but if the White Walkers thing is back and will play a major part, then I may consider sticking around.

I think I'm done after this season. :sad:

Frankly there are too many characters that I can't even remember the names of and there are too many storylines going on at once. Plus, I'm finding I don't give a shit about any of these storylines.

They killed off two of the three best characters in the first season IMO and now the only things I care to see are Joffrey being brutally murdered, Daenerys getting naked again and the fucking White Walkers. Unless one of those three happen or are promised to happen shortly into season 3, then I think I'm out.

No dragon lady last episode made me very sad.

It was actually a very good episode without the only storyline I really enjoy.

Khaleesi looks pretty prominent next episode so hopefully that means more than 5 minutes or less of her...

Theon didn't go out after them with the intention of killing them. He only killed the other two boys because he realized that he lost Bran and Rickon and the only way he could pass off the other two boys as them was to kill and burn them.

and what an episode for the kingslayer. he is becoming harder to despise.

The way a lot of these characters go from lovable to despicable back to lovable, or some sort of variation of that, is awesome in this show.

[realmenhatelife]

You get an eye full of some dragon this episode.

For the whole episode I think I liked Jaime saying goodbye to Brienn the best. And for once I found the Jon/Ygritte relationship charming.

Other than the obvious pushing Bran out of the window, I'm trying to think of anything particularly heinous Jaime's done. Even what he did in the Stark camp is defensible. He's a prisoner, what's he supposed to do, march calmly to his execution?

Well, Jaime fucked his twin cersei for years, killed the king he was sworn to protect (granted with good reason). Escaping, even killing the guard is understandable, but he killed his cousin who revered him, who was a fellow prisoner.

Early on, the show gives you a good sense that he's pretty much a douche....but I can't help but root for him now. I hope there is some magic in westeros that will restore his hand.

As gross as it is, I can't consider two consenting adults banging each other heinous, even if they are brother and sister. Passing the kids off as Robert's is a worse offense and that's mostly on Cersei.

The Mad King earned his name and would have gotten worse had Jaime not done what he did. Even in the last episode, when the guy asked him how many lives he saved, he said half a million, the population of King's Landing.

they were banging each other since they figured out jamie could get a boner. their mom caught them "playing" when they were children, as cercei put it and separated them. the mother never told tywin, but expressly forbade it from ever happening again. they still kept at it in secret, which made it "better" for them.

In this world incest is considered a great sin, and children of incest are considered abominations. That's why Craster is such an unsavory character.

Kingslaying and Kinslaying are two of the other major sins in Westeros, and Jaime has done both, plus plenty of people know about the incest.

As mad as Aerys was the Targareans were the only family to rule the unified Westeros and you get the sense in the books that 1- people didn't commonly know how bad he was and 2- everyone in power was sortof waiting for Aerys to die because his son Rhaegar, who Dany talks about and wants to name her son after, was considered one fo the greatest heros of Westeros and he was in line to be king. It isn't common knowledge that Jaime saved Kingslanding, I think most people would think of him as the key player that got rid of the old family line and prevented Rhaegar from becoming king, and helped establish the line of Barathean which has more or less fucked things up by bankrupting the kingdom right at the end of summer.

This may be a silly question, but I honestly don't recall any acknowledgement on this subject.

Does Jaime know that Joffrey is his? To be honest, I do not recall a single scene of those two together in the series, nor do I recall them ever confirming that Jaime knows.

I dont remember if he vocally acknowledges it in the show but Cersei certainly knows, and I think you can assume that Jaime does too. She may make reference to how she avoids having sex with Robert. And certainly the children's features would make it obvious to the two of them.

[realmenhatelife]

That episode really had something for everyone. Bathtime titties, white walkers, drunk dwarves etc. Good, well paced episode all around.

I really liked the creepiness of all the ravens surrounding Sam and Tilly's hut.

I wasn't too pleased with this episode....If it had been earlier in the season, fine, but there were only three eps going into last nights and I was hoping for more blood and violence than T and A, and we really didn't get much of either. The wedding scenes were cool....The Walker scene at the end was cool, but pissed me off because apparently Samwell just decides to leave the most powerful arrowhead ever in the fucking snow without looking back. ugh....even someone that useless would know how to start a fire at this point. I like him and his story, but he frustrates me. No word from Jaimie and Brienne or Jon Snow and his chick, or even Prince Stark and his war efforts. I felt like this was an episode of side stories getting fleshed out and I wanted the bigger plots to evolve more at this point so close to the end of the season.

[realmenhatelife]

I wouldn't put up with hopping right out of a tub dripping wet and someone trying to button a coat around me, though. That looked so uncomfortable.


I dont think you're wrong that this episode had a focus on some of the smaller story lines, but if anything that lets you know they need to get stuff into place before they leave it all in a few episodes. So you probably had to see these lesser stories to make way for the big stories coming up.

I dont mind the side roads at all I just hate when they're all scattershot and dont have much substance.

[sailor]

Eh, in the desert she'd be dry in two minutes.

And yes, samwell is the dumbest person alive.

[Gutter]

Yea, maybe that's what it was....not much substance on how the smaller stories we saw in this episode relate to the overall archs of the season. I was assuming going in that since its late in the season we were going to get some awesome HOLY SH*T moments and we didn't get any of it. I would have been much happier with the episode if we had finally got the chance to see the Mother of Dragons release her Unsullied for an opening round battle or something.

In all honesty Im starting to think the storylines for this show just dont fit into an hour a week series. No Jamie, Littlefinger, Rob Stark, Jon Snow, the crippled kid and his group, the guy being tortured etc. and still an hour is filled up. 60 minutes a week isnt enough time to do the show justice.

[Dirtbag]

10 episodes a season is much worse than 60 minutes an episode.

[weekapaugjz]

sorry if this has been addressed, but what was robert barratheon's claim to the throne following the rebellion? i may have seen somewhere the barratheon family was a distant relative of the targaryon's or was it simply robert was the most powerful after aerys was slain?

Robert had a rebellion where as the current war is a war of succession. So Robert essentially didn't have a claim on the throne, he just sought to depose the Targaryons. I think in the first season they talk about the options of who to install on the throne after the rebellion was over, and Ned Stark had turned down his opportunity.

[Gutter]

10 episodes a season is much worse than 60 minutes an episode.

yea, ten episodes a season for a show like this really blows.

Just crazyness. Couldn't believe what I was watching, but maybe, just maybe, he actually survives? is there any chance of that? you don't really see him get dealt that final definitive blow aside from the knife in the gut. Not too optomistic about it, but I guess there's a chance since his head wasn't completely chopped off. What a great episode though, aside from more confusion about the entire Jon Snow storyline.

so, they climb the wall and start walking away from the wall so they could take Castle Black that's located at the wall? None of that makes sense to me...where the hell are they walking if the castle is at the bottom of the Wall? Then from just last nights episode ::minor spoilers:: Bran takes control of the wolf, but lets a giant eagle attack Jon? Where the hell did that eagle come from anyway? And why does Jon leave Egrid behind when it was clear she was ready to be on his side? His entire story line since he's teamed up with the Wildlings has been insanely confusing to me. someone help

The other guy took control of the eagle right before/as he died. Remember, he had the same power as bran and the other kid and took control of a crow north of the wall to scout out the Watch?

Also, they climbed the wall at an unfortified spot and are circling around to sneak up on castle black.

The Wildings went over the wall as a raiding party. Also, if you wanted to infiltrate Castle Black with a covert group it would be dumb to walk along the wall where you were most likely to get spotted. All south of the wall is a track of land called 'The Gift' that people work, had towns etc. That's where the wildlings were raiding and approaching castle black from cover.

The eagle always follows Orin around like how the wolves always follow the starks. It's his primary warg animal, and Orin jumped into it and attached Jon. Bran wouldn't have known any of that way going on.

Jon probably left Ygritte to save her. He cant take her back to the Nights Watch, and if the Wildlings know her loyalties are with Jon they'd probably kill her. OR he's not sure if she would come with him and ran to save his own life, and couldn't wait for her.

Orell, not Orin.

Someone might enjoy reading the books

I would enjoy reading the books, and I could probably start the first one now, but i don't want to read the books past the point where the show is currently. I don't want the books to ruin the show for me. Usually, the book is always better and there are things that are left out of the show for budget and timing reasons, so I don't want to read the books and expect certain story lines to be a part of a season and never get to see them because they were omitted. so myah.

[Gutter]

Ya so that was bad ass. The way that they took the chick out by stabbing her stomach and taking out her and the baby before they killed stark was awesome. Big ups to the Lannisters that was an epic move all the way around.

The slow episodes were definitely worth the pay off.

The only thing that pissed me off was jon snow leaving the hottie. That was a feel good story. That made me very sad...

probably would eventually have led to another boring wedding, and nobody wants that.

[realmenhatelife]

My brother told me a story from work that pretty much sums it up. As soon as he walks in he's set upon by a girl who hasn't read the books and has been speculating about what the 'Red Wedding' is all season, she thought it was something good like Jon and Ygritte get married. While she's beside herself freaking out to him his other buddy who has read all the books just gives him the double thumbs up as he walks by.

I've been wondering at which point I could start at least just the first book, but I don't want to get past where the show is. I really don't understand people who saw that episode and have decided to not watch the show anymore....that was so crazy and so awesome, how could you not want to see more. Its really funny and ridiculous that people are pissed at HBO somehow too. ahhhh, pretty sure HBO didn't make that decision seperate from what happens in the books.

I enjoyed a return to a lot of interpersonal scenes for the last episode. Tywin, Tyrion Tywin, Joffrey Tyrion, Sansa Shae, Varys Davos, Gendry and even the really brief ones with Clegane, Arya and Jaime, Cersei. Yara gets her good speech even though she looks like she needs to lay off the salt. Roose Bolton gets to be an icy bastard.

The two things that kindof bugged me were I think they really drew out the big reveal about who Theon's captor is and the nature of that relationship. I wish they had kept that to a few episodes so it wasn't so redundant. And I thought there should have been a more substantial Dany scene. That whole sequence at the end lacked a sense of tension. Maybe if they had moved the raid to this episode and showed her being pensive about how she would be received.

however, if they exposed theon's captor and his family links, one would surely be less trusting going into the big wedding scene and more

It should have been in fewer episodes, I mean. Maybe one scene early to show he's in a dungeon being tortured. One episode in the middle where he's let go and recaptured just to torment him, and then at the end where his family gets the package.

that makes more sense and now I'm on board

it was overplayed, just saying if the reveal was out of line (in my op), it would have given too many ideas to the fans to easily

http://winteriscoming.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Dean-Charles-Chapman-240x300.jpg

In a likely nod to the character’s probable expanded role next season, Prince Tommen Baratheon has been recast. Callum Wharry, who was last seen as Joffrey’s younger brother late in the second season, has reportedly been replaced with Dean-Charles Chapman. Chapman previously appeared in season three as the doomed squire Martyn Lannister. Chapman is somewhat older and quite a bit more experienced than Wharry, whose sole acting credits are as Tommen in the first two seasons, and this likely presages Tommen's rise to prominence in the wake of certain tragic events this coming season.

They recast Gregor Clegane, The Mountain, again. This time it's Worlds Strongest Man competitor Thor Bjornsson, who is a truly massive bastard. I dont know that this even means that The Mountain will have any lines or even take his helmet off, but it does probably mean they have scenes where he's not on a horse and need to look like he's 7ft tall.

I think that is sufficiently spoiler free.

I've watched every Worlds Strongest Man since the 80s and I'm always happy to see those guys get some kind of acting work.

Today is officially "Hate Joffrey from Game of Thrones" Day (http://io9.com/today-is-officially-hate-joffrey-from-game-of-thrones-d-1481864652)

I know, I know; any day is a good day to loathe the horrible blond bastard sitting on the Iron Throne, but HBO is making today (and tomorrow) special. They're organizing a "roast" of Joffrey across the official GoT Twitter (https://twitter.com/GameOfThrones), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/GameOfThrones), and Instagram (http://instagram.com/hbo) pages, and inviting the whole world to talk shit about him.

All you have to do is use the hashtag "#roastjoffrey." Apparently, Game of Thrones' stars Arya Stark (Maisie Williams), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) and Hodor (Kristian Nairn) will also get on the action, and then HBO will post/tweet all the best burns that people submit. You have about 48 hours to figure out something on the level of Bronn's brutal assessment (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13CSWRyaAgA). Good luck.

I grabbed Game of Thrones because I didn't have anything to read and this occurred to me:

So we know that Sam Tarly is sent to the Wall because his father wants his younger, more favored son to inherit Horn Hill.

What doesn't make sense is that Tarly could've sent his son Sam to study to be a maester or a septon, both of which would've caused him to give up his birth right. The maester's are expressly apolitical and must serve in whatever house they are assigned. And that would've been a good fit for the bookish/pacifist coward Sam.

I know the real answer is that you need to get Sam to the Wall to meet Jon Snow and that's how you do it, and it's more about illustrating what state the Nights Watch is in, but still it struck me when I read it the second time.


I guess Randal Tarly is just an asshole.

Too rough? There was that one half a hot scene with the two girls.

Too boring and drawn out. That should've been two episodes at best.

Solid come back and some interesting things having stages set.

[realmenhatelife]

Yeah, already an improvement over some of last season's problems. They didn't jump around too much, they ended on a strong fight scene. They also arent making Sansa be all weepy for too long like how Caitlyn Stark was getting a little annoying being so melancholy for so much of last season.

We see how some of the characters are starting to change, which is cool.


Whats with Dany just wearing straight up jeans now? Did anyone notice that?

Jaime looked like they forgot to get him in character, especially when chatting with his sister. He looked like he was auditioning for a j crew commercial.

His hair being short really changes his look, and he's not wearing bright gold he's wearing more bronze. It's a good characterization.

Well, that one scene in particular, he's just wearing like pants and a sweatshirt. Was just so weird. And yeah, i don't recognize him with the short hair. Like, i saw him in some other role and had no clue.

everyone talks about this show.
I guess I better watch it but I hear there is a lot of gayness

Gayness is like cilantro. If you dislike cilantro even a tiny little bit of cilantro is too much cilantro.

[sailor]

Wow. Have to lean towards tyrells, but do they now have a legit claim? Dorne is the other choice. No way was Tyrion involved, obvi.

[realmenhatelife]

It's cool they wouldn't save something like that for episode 9, keep everyone on their toes.

It was the dukes, it was the dukes.

At least Joffrey died doing what he loved - being a sociopathic prick.

I've seen I think 3 articles now that are varying degrees of outraged about Jaime forcing himself on Cersei in the sept.

And I'm curious too how they're going to handle Jaime now, who seemed to be softening or atleast becoming more sympathetic.

But I'm not more horrified by Jaime in last nights episode than before. I feel like these people are ignoring the other rapes and murders in the show that were much more violent and graphic. Jaime threw a kid out of a window and broke his cousin's neck. That's pretty bad too.

I loved how they did that scene - so wrong and cringe worthy.

[spoon]

i seriously thought they were either going to be seen and that person was dead via Jaime's left hand, or the body was going to come down on them


thus far the only thing that seems to be missing is the one true Stark that is evil behind it all, bc we have the opposite with Dinklage's character and other less extreme examples. I don't count the exterior family members like the iron island kid or the deception at the red wedding. They were hardly fully vested in the family or as a top character. I guess we have a long way to go, but no spoilers.

[realmenhatelife]

It was sortof the episode of the bad people are still bad. Jamie rapes Cersei, Ygritte is killing villagers, The Hound is robbing/abandoning peasants. It was a little clunky. I didn't think we needed another Oberon Martell gangbang.

[spoon]

I don't mind the lead in to show his carnal desires trump all as a prelude to the offer that comes he just can't refuse…it has its place in this one even if a bit laid on. As for the rest, it was an episode of many setups for the future episodes, and closing of a few from the last. They all can't be dead kings and red wedding scenes or it'd get anticlimactic based on countless climaxes…yah, that was on purpose tied to OHHHHberon.

I'm not a person who complains about talky episodes at all I just think this wasn't a great one.

But, I think if you have Oberon fucking around you could have this great scene where he's doing what he's doing and Tywin is talking to him, and you get that standoff between them. Oberon wont stop and is trying to shake Tywin, and Tywin wont flinch and does his great James Dance stoneface, dead eyed act.

He raped his sister next to the corpse of their dead child.

I'm not sure if it gets much more fucked up than that.

they could have done it ON the dead body and broke off some parts to use as sex toys

So your one complaint is not enough buggery?

If you're gonna have it you need to make the most of it. I think it's a show that doesn't need gratuitous nudity and sex anymore.

Maybe there's something to balancing the scene with the sex positive dornish against the sex negative lannisters.
