shadow of death

Looked to me like Stannis also has the bad ass kill mother fuckers on the battlefield gene that big brother Robert had. Yes it was unrealistic that the king would be the 1st guy on shore and up a ladder but it was pretty bad ass and fun to watch!

No chain? Really? There are not many episodes left and they have a ton of things to cover. The chain is a key reason why they are able to defeat stannis. Maybe it will be introduced next week? Who knows. The execution in quarth was pretty cool and a good change but they killed the Spice King dude! He was the best addition to the books. His dialogue was great.

One thing about the mob of commoners. In the books it was more built up how the city gates are closed and they are preparing to be invaded by stannis or renly. Because of this the peasants are starving and are on the verge of revolt from within the city. In the show it just seems more like they hate king Joff.

I have never been able to find anything either but have always wondered. He definitly doesn't like the Lannisters that much.

Does anyone know if the hound has any connection with the Starks, Possibly Eddard when they were younger? I just seemed when he told Tyrion that he didn't do it for him(save sansa). In the books he also seems to actually like Arya even though he is pretty gruff with her.

All I know is the Hound should be wrecking people in every episode. The best part was when the last guy tried to run away.

This Stannis is growing on me. He was great this episode. Briennes fight scene was pretty awesome. Especially the coup de grace she put on the guy with the downward stab to the back of the neck. I wish the would have shown Renly's green armour more. Not really sure if they are planning on showing Garlan in it on the battle on the blackwater. Pyrat was awesome. Very freaky looking.

From the day theon's father surrendered he was screwed. The Starks dont trust him and his own family doesn't consider him one of them. It's no wonder he is so messed up.

With the stannis/mel sex scene. In the books it is easier to imply what is going on. Sometimes on the show they do need to hit the viewers on the head to make it more obvious. Hey and with a body like that even Stannis would give in. Stannis is obviously a major character in the books so i am holding judgement on him until he has some more screen time. In the books he kinda grows on you. Asha was not how i pictured her. I figured she was sort of lanky and wiry but pretty in a tomboy sort of way. Her and theon actually look like siblings though. Littlefinger is not really how he is in the books. Maybe they are protraying him like this so when it is revealed more that he is a major player people will realize how smart he is.

Hopefully we get to see Selmy carve some cake next week!
