Florina Laufeyson Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 7.5. The .5 comes from Arya being a badass and the Duncan the Tall nod and blue rose in my dome. Yes. Very yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jslay427 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The Thenns in book were not said to be cannibal. Only the clans from Skagos IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 The ice river clans are said to be cannibals. But no, the Thenns aren't. They basically just squished them and the savage cannibal clans together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hulboy Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Episode was great with arts getting a little revenge and retrieving Needle.looking forward to rest of season.10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalibakCruel Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 He was great in season one and had great moments in season 3, especially GRRM's episode. Like Emilia Clarke, their acting suffers when the writing suffers. When Kit is given good lines, like this episode, he really shines. I thought he was wonderful. Sounded like he's really grown up. Put that punk ass Slynt back in his place. Can't wait for "Edd fetch me a block". I should rephrase. I made it sound like I didn't like Kit before. Actually I've always liked him even when people thought he was too dull. But his scene today for me was just surprising. He has a new confidence to him.

Señor de la Tormenta Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) The Tenns are supposed to be the wilding group more similar to the northeners, with Lords, ranks and bronce armors. There was no need to call this Tenn. If D&D want to change stuff bring up names of their own.

nhebron Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I thought it was a good set up for the rest of the seasons...but wasn't overly impressed. I rated it a 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modbelle Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 9/10. Based highly on Oberyn stabbing random Lannister supporter. The badass of his performance and unpredictability got me. Plus, I know the episode is good when it feels like a half hour rather than an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalibakCruel Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hes not just so emo, he now has a strong personality. Yeah that's a perfect way to put it. He's not sulking anymore. Can't wait to see how he does in the rest of the season. Also, not a fan of new Naharis. Not as arrogant as Skrein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtones520 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I thought the whole episode was strong outside of the Tyrion/Shae scene, but that's just more with me not liking how they have portrayed their "romance" but I never really understood it in the books either. Another tiny annoyance was that they spelled "Ser" as "Sir" in the white book. Show watchers had no idea, and I'm willing to be the art designer who made it didn't either, but as a book fan I cringed for a split second. No big deal, just a petty complaint.I loved the entire introduction of the Dornish and Prince Oberyn, painted his character points perfectly for non readers as a lustful, vengeful, dangerous man who will do whatever he wants when he wants. His monologue about Elia was pure gold. Only wish they mentioned Rhaenys and Aegons names in it, but I get not wanting to muddy the water with more and more names all at once. Love the casting of Ellaria too, actress is gorgeous.Jon's scene was great, like the new Daario, brought Dontos back into the fold and he gave Sansa her purple jewels, loved Aryas revenge, the Hound had me in stitches, the Thenns were badass...Everything was great, still not 10/10 great, but a solid 9.

King Kev. Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Very solid. 9. Good set up for future events that will take place in the later episodes, and some genuinely amazing scenes. Oberyn was fantastic, and I loved it when he stabbed that guy. The final scene was brilliant as well, it took its sweet time ratcheting up the tension and it paid off, I almost started laughing ecstatically during that fight. Excellent.

Mistress of Lemon Cakes Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I gave it a 7 but I'm admittedly a very hard grader. It was by far the best premier since the first season. Loved Oberyn's introduction. Loved the Arya/Hound scene. Loved the dragons ... especially loved Drogon snapping at Dany ... I jumped just like she did. Loved (and hated all at the same time) the breaking down of ice. Loved Jon Snow's scene too and I agree that Kit did a fantastic job with it. I also loved Margaery's sarcastic comment about Joffrey choosing a string of dead sparrows for her necklace, and how the QoT immediately put her in her place and was like "hush your tongue dear, even with me."

Fez Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 9/10 That's partly because I'm just so excited that the show's back, but I also think the episode did a really good job of catching non-readers up with a lot of backstory and setting up most of the major plotlines of the season.

Montey14 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Although the books only hint and vaguely mention that Red Viper lies with boys....he is openly bi-sexual in the series..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Ah, also I love Maester Aemon "How can you tell a liar?""I grew up in King's Landing". bitchslap with class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montey14 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 the 2 swords though.....we know Brienne has one blade.....but what happens to the blade that was given to Geoffrey. Was he buried with it .....GRRM never elaborates in the books.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
