Winter's Knight Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Pickled babies! A surprisingly un-grieving Lora's! Oleanna's suspicious ability to drain IQ points from all her conversational partners! What got under your skin this episode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Littlefingers voices bothers me still, especially after going back and watching scenes from the first season where it was perfectly fine imo.And Karstarks being half of Robbs forces was a shake my head moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jslay427 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I didn't like Shireen as the one who teaches Davos his letters. I know we don't have a Pylos, and not many other characters in Dragonstone, but I didn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Cookie Monster Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 The nitpick thread! yeah finally! but I don't know what to say... at this point there are just too many things.Well I'll start with some:1. The Hound not having his badass quote:"For the night is dark and full of terrors" - Thoros"This cave is dark too, but I'm the terror here" - The Hound2. Sandor not crying when he was burned by the fire.3. Whatever happened to the "when the sun has set, not canddle can replace it" Loras I knew and loved?4. Jon saying "Seven hells".5. Olenna.... enough! it's becoming annoying!6. Shireen is BLONDE!!!!!7. Tyrion's been extreme whitewashed I DONT LIKE IT!!! (and this is coming from a very big Tyrion fan!)ETA:8. Selyse...everything about her, specially the jar-babies and trying to not let Stannis see his own daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lu Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 This is as much of a book nitpick as it is an episode nitpick, but that cunnilingus seems to have been nonexistent in wildling culture makes me very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeadWolf Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Going for Casterly Rock instead of reclaiming the North is kind of weak sauce but in the end it doesn't matter obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickStormborn Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Kit Harington's acting was even worse than usual. I'm getting seriously tempted to just skip all Jon scenes. The same goes for Aidan Gillen - he gave possibly his worst performance yet in his scene with Cersei.The Loras scenes are just downright offensive and embarassing. It looked like the writers all got together and thought "WHAT DOES A GAY HOOK-UP LOOK LIKE???" and came up with one of the worst scenes in the show so far.And why was it even necessary? Couldn't Loras have refused the prostitute because of his devotion to Renly, but used the excuse about his betrothal to Sansa? It would have advanced the plot without erasing a major part of Loras' character and reducing him to his sexuality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baratheon3508 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 1 Loras being playful flirty and happy seeming months after Renly's death. Would it have been too much to show some grief even if they chose to go with the loras screwing (or ahem being screwed by perhaps...) a random squire. 2 Selyse's dead baby jars!3 Tyrion letting QoT walk all over him4 Omission of the hound's epic line. Its things like this which would have fitted fine in the scene that I can't understand why they are left out!5 I agree that the Karstarks were way too much of Robb's army.6 Lady Olenna's statement about how many swords the Tyrells have given them. Number was way way too small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insertname Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Beric imho didn't really show how much he's lost, this undermines the cost of resurrection - but I didn't particularly like it in the books either.Karstark being half of Robb's forces was... "What?"Indeed, I think Olenna is being a bit overused and I get the feel the writers want us to rotflmao at every word she says.The hound's fear of fire was done very nicely at the beginning, but they kinda dropped the ball at the end.jar-babies...it almost felt steampunk-y and the babies were FAR too big.Loras not having the candle line and just shacking with some random guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Moff Mithrandir Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Shireen singing the songs that scare her and reading about the Targs, I mean she has nightmares about being eaten by dragons why would she read about them all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nahkuri Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 This is as much of a book nitpick as it is an episode nitpick, but that cunnilingus seems to have been nonexistent in wildling culture makes me very sad.There's probably a reason for that. Having spent a year in the Finnish Defence Forces, I am very aware that even a week spent in a frozen forest is going to leave you covered with filth. Wildlings don't even get sauna/hot showers in between.When Jon decided to plunge straight at the unwashed and unshaven crotch of a barbarian woman the moment he saw her get naked, I decided he's the bravest character of them all. Or the foulest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protar Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 My nitpicks where pretty much the same as everyone else. Thankfully I was forewarned on the baby jars so my disgust and annoyance was dampened. Loras and the squire did really annoy me, Loras would never cheat on Renly's memory like that. Mostly a great episode though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a free shadow Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 In the converstion with Margaery Sansa reacted as if being proud of Joffrey's *interest* in her. The same happened previous episodes, when Shae talked to her about Littlefinger. Yuck. Her own interest in Loras is also played as very shallow. While in the books the dream of life in Highgarden was somehow more true. I don't understand the acting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you had no idea that your time with the Finnish Defence Forces would make you an authority on the prevalence of certain sex acts. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mammothsbane Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Baby jars.Stupid Robb thinking the Frey's are going to save him somehow. And he just NOW thought to invade Casterly Rock?There's probably a reason for that.

The Key Is Patchface Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I didn't like Shireen as the one who teaches Davos his letters. I know we don't have a Pylos, and not many other characters in Dragonstone, but I didn't like it.what about this could you possibly not like? Why is Shireen teaching Davos to read something you can't accept? What does this change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
