Ice_Specter Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 The rape sequence was disgusting. Yes, I understand they're getting raped, but after episode 3, couldn't they just imply the girls were being violated? Did we really need to see like 3 rapes going on at the same time? What the fuck is wrong with these writers? :drunk: This made me laugh. But I feel the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairGrowsBack Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Apparently, murders not Tyrion's style. The whitewashing continues. Ugh, yes, and that makes him such a bore compared to his book counterpart. - "Kill the masters", as it's been pointed out, is ludicrous. - Stuff North of the Wall is a mixed_bag for me: more gratuitous rape to fill the boob quota, 10 minutes of stupid douches insulting each other.. It wasn't as bad as it might have been, but still. - Bran's hair. - The Night's King, or whatever that was, looked a bit corny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asshat by the Shadow Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLing at the Pac Man reference. And, yes, I had the same thoughts about Diana Rigg, my ex boyfriend was IN LOVING LUST with her. Not an old rerun of The Avengers was ever missed in our house. I just had to admit, I had the same thoughts, Ms. Dormer has nothin on the young Lady Diana. I loved The Avengers, by the way. Even before I met my ex. It was a fav show of one of my childhood friends. The reruns, that was all we had back in my extreme youth, uhf reruns, not cable tv. ;) Yeah, I just looked up pictures of young Diana Rigg. She was gorgeous. Also, she had Margaery's dimples, which is just plain awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramla Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Everybody pretty much covered my Valid nit-picks. lol The thing that stuck out most was capturing Ghost and then them shoing Greywolf getting caught in the same trap. I guess to explain how Ghost could get caught... None of it makes sense however. It shouldn't be easy to catch a direwolf... Let alone 2. Keeping Ghost alive was also moronic. There's nothing they can do with him, save get thier throat ripped out if he gets loose... Which should be imeditatly. His jaws would crush those metaless bars IMO. The part where Magaery sneaks into tommen's room. During Cersie and Jamies interaction, she tells him to place 4 guards on the "Soon to be Kings" bedroom. Jamie stationed 1... They inserted this in to explain it as if Her ability to sneak in was because there was 1 guard. However, why would the soon to be keing have one guard... AFTER his brother was assassinated!? Somebody here said they are Ham Fisted... They (D&D) seriously are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody here said they are Ham Fisted... They (D&D) seriously are. Obviously, Margaery is Jaq'uen Haqar in drag/disguise. Ghost is being kept alive because (1) the mutineers are pretty stupid, but cunning enough to keep some wolf meat alive for future starvation; though too stupid to feed and water their future snack so he won't die before they need him, (2)so that one of the Reeds, or Jon will free Ghost and he'll rip out the throats of the mutineers and maybe Locke too, (3) both. What really jolted me out of my suspension of belief was the baby not freezing to death being left out in the woods, chest and hands and face exposed in below-freezing weather. The poor little guy should have been dead by the time the White Walker came for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Cygne Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Also, must they right every wrong in the books when it comes to Tyrion? Pod said he left him, he didn't look after him. Is there any stone they will leave unturned when it comes to this? It's so comprehensive, the whitewashing, you have to hand it to them. They even made Tyrion part of Jaime and Brienne's goodbye scene. That's why I'm quite certain he and Jorah will be BFFs from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florina Laufeyson Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Has he murdered anyone on the show yet? No one of importance, no. I remember Tyrion bashing some guy's head in with a pointed shield in Season 1, and some guys during Blackwater. But no named characters. Pretty sure they're saving that for later~ But in this scene there was no definite reason for Ghost to howl. Not a single one. Right.... Like his brother... Being right there... In front of him... In a freaking trap... Right, not a single reason. <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eumaies Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Thanks god for this forum. Reading the glowing reviews elsewhere on the internet for such drivel as Qarl-I-drink-from-a-freshly-scrubbed-skull was causing me to doubt my faith in humanity. Glad it's not just me who recognizes how horrible the last 15 minutes of that episode was. Man those bandits were IREDEEMABLY EVIL. That's the kind of simplistic morality tale I'd expect from a show inspired by GRRM! oy vey. D&D are pathetic when it comes to actual show-writing. To be honest, I'm enjoying season 4 quite a bit, but it's basically because they're milking GRRM's best work and they can't completely screw it up. The rest of the books, while fun to read, contain way too much random content which means D&D will have to improvise which means season 5+ are just going to be horrible. As has been said before, Season 1 was actually really good. I can enjoy parts of the rest and I'm sure Season 4 will be fun. But the ad hoc plotlines and writing are just embarassing. It's a tangent, but people just can't seem to get that brilliant classic movies like Star Wars weren't just about some headline features or special effects. They were about the little details that painted a picture of a believable alternate world. They were the british imperial officers that told a tale of an empire in space bureacratic and clumsy and REAL. Craster's keep bandits and lots of other detail scenes and characters in GOT were an opportunity to paint the details of GRRM's world and portray real human characters in the morally grey universe GRRM portrayed. Instead we get porno sex and skull-drinking wolf-torturers (because wolves can't drink friggin snow????) So much to complain about, but it's all been said. Thanks for existing, this corner of the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raksha 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I do worry that the quality of the TV series, such as it is (and there are many moments and scenes I've greatly enjoyed) might go downhill after this season, since AFFC and ADWD are not, in my opinion, as good as ASOS, and drag much more. There will have to be more D&D improvisation, as Eumales mentions, and that doesn't always come out so well. I just hope we don't eventually have Young Griff and Tyrion & JonCon traveling down the river with a boatload of topless prostitutes to fill up the 'boobage' quota.

Pretty sure there wont be topless prostitutes until they hit Volantis. But hey, your loss. Oh man i cant WAIT for the Shy Maid Adventures and Young Griff!

Bear Island Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 - Ghost being captured.I didn't even realise he was missing. He is far to smart to be captured, I don't buy it at all. And why on earth didn't they kill him?- Jon knowing Bran is alive. A small change with the potention for endless repercussions. While I think and hope that Bran's party will escape before or while Jon's group attacks and there won't be any interaction, Sam telling Jon makes everything different. Also, shouldn't Bran be WAY beyond the keep by now?- Speaking of distances, the WW getting to what is presumably the Heart of Winter so fast/The books make it seem like it would be a HUGE journey from Crastor's Keep to the Heart of Winter, but it barely took any time at all, evidenced by the baby being alive. Even with the furs, the baby would be getting no warmth from the WW or his mount or the surroundings so the baby should have frozen to death long before the WW reached there. Those furs would never have kept a starving newborn human alive.- Nothing about the Jaime rape. They should have inserted a scene between Cersei and Jaime to show that showed it either being okay between them to im[ply that ultimately Cersei considered it consensual, or had a scene between them where she was scared and upset and mentions it. You can't just throw rape into Jaime's redemption arc and act like it never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee-Sensei Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Has he murdered anyone on the show yet? No, but he's a murderer in the books. It's certainly something he was capable of before the Purple Wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cas Stark Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Okay, I have to ask, what is wrong w/Bran's hair? People mentioned it last week, so I was trying to pay attention in the last episode, and I don't see the problem. I also wasn't bothered by the baby scene....I had already figured the WW were doing something similar to Craster's sons, and since the WW are semi magical...I don't find it odd that the baby wouldn't freeze.
