Hedge Knight

Hedge Knight (5/8)

  1. I watched the first episode with a few people that haven't read the books and the only parts that were unclear to them were exactly who Melissandre was and the significance of what was happening during the whole idol-burning scene. It was a little abrupt and disjointed. Throughout the first season, I was never sure which parts I was going to have to explain because of the pacing and how much they had to cut from the book story, but the people I've watched it with seem to be following fine.
  2. I died laughing at "cumin" mishear. =P OT: I don't know why everyone is upset by the script here. The chemistry between the actors seemed slightly awkward, and it's a slight alteration from her character in the books, but it's perfectly understandable that Tyrion would be enchanted by someone who was more brash, blunt and foul-mouthed than bookShae. He, himself, calls Jon 'Bastard' despite the fact that he likes Jon. He's bluntly self-deprecating in portraying himself as the same as a bastard. In fact, he seems to hate euphemisms, so if Shae is any good at her trade she would have some idea how to make Tyrion like her.
  3. No pleasing some people. I'm just glad we're not dealing with season 1's dire puppies who all looked ready to harrass you for kibble rather than engage in direwolf badassery. I've got zero complaints with season 2 dire wolves.
  4. I pictured a fat, dirty guy with long scraggly hair and big bags under his eyes. I thought he was described somewhat like this in the books, but I could have made the whole thing up. <shrugs>
  5. I think it was a conscious decision to tweak the character slightly and was meant to show that Cersei is a lot like Joffrey in her childish, impulsive use of her power. They don't have as much time to spend on this as the books had, so a quick few scenes served as reminders as to exactly why Tywin would want Tyrion there whilst Cersei and Joffrey are acting like irresponsible political idiots.
  6. Eh, yeah, 'pirate' was a brainfart wording on my part. I meant dirty, land-awkward, and less properly speaking. 'Pirate' just inadvertantly popped off my fingers.
  7. I give it an 8. I was impressed. I guess I went in with lower expectations and I kind of thought they'd drop the ball after a fairly solid first season. I was also pleasantly surprised with Greywind. Considering the budget, I'm infinitely happier with more CG direwolves than some fucking poorly trained husky puppy. Joffrey was great, I actually lied the Cersei/Littlefinger bit, and even Melissandre was better than I expected. Stannis is too young and too soft, Melissandre feels a little less arrogant and succubus-like, Davos is a garbage interpretation so far (the guy's supposed to be a pirate,) BUT this show never held a candle to the books. This is MUCH better than what I was expecting, and I enjoyed it more than several episodes of the first season.
