Songlian Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Acting wise, I liked everyone in this episode, no exceptions. Characters that really stood out for me were Loras and The Hound. I have been waiting for that tourney scene, and it was awesome. Bronn's was another great performance, short as it was. Jory went nicely, too. Poor Jory. Lysa and Robin Arryn... I wish I could praise them, because they really deserved it, but that stuff was so sick and creepy, I may need a moment to recover.Best scenes: Jaime vs Ned, The Mountain vs Loras vs The Hound, Tyrion in the Cells.Not the best scenes: Theon banging Ros (unnecessary), Littlefinger vs Varys (almost unnecessary), Loras shaving Renly (too much, too soon, too cheesy).

Clariana Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 What no mention of Littlefinger v Varys???That was a deadlier duel than the one in the tourney...PS Nothing wrong with penis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Luke Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 BADASS RANKINGS:1. Bronn. I think I saw him cut down 3 mountain tribes guys. Nice. 2. Jaime - Dagger through poor Jory's eye. Ouch. "Kill his men." 3. The Mountain - He's the mountain. 4. The Hound - The way he bowed and Gregors' sword went right over his head was PERFECCCT.ACTING RANKINGS:1. Robert - Even though he's not exactly how I pictured Robert, he definitely is nailing his personality. 2. Tyrion - When he says he had nothing to do with the murder the quiver in his voice is perfect. Dude's great. BEST SCENE:1. Jaime confronts Ned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daenerys Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Everyone's acting in this episode was fine, but they're really botching the characters of Renly, Loras, and Sandor. Theon's story feels shoehorned in. I also don't remember Bran being quite so brooding and petulant in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Sandor, I still have hope that he's not going to be all silent and dour and ambivalent throughout the whole series. Right now he's basically Ilyn Payne. Where the fuck is the HOUND? Still haven't met him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Mord Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Clariana,PS Nothing wrong with penisIndeed. And our dear Theon, apart from having a pretty physique, sports a nice specimen as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Summer Child Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I think the hound was hands down the most badass because of the way he kneeled. Robert was spot on how I pictured him, and bronn did some nice work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
