[BOOK SPOILERS] Nitpick without repercussion?

[Rhymes with Chic]

Okay, got ya.

That makes one of us. Dafuq just happened here. :stillsick: Anyway, way to spoil the baby's name, show. BOOOOO.

Anyone else wonder how Jaime was able to waltz into the Red Keep when no one recognized him as the famous Kingslayer?

I was more wondering what happened to his large escort of Bolton men tasked with ensuring he arrived in KL safety....but I don't even bother about those type of continuity issues anymore, I just roll with it now. LOL.

I could sense millions of faces cringing while watching it, So yes, I do strongly believe so.

Anything presenting Dany as the golden girl is cringe worthy.

I agree with most other assessments.

Coldhands? Why I am not sure I buy that CH is Benjen, not showing him makes one wonder.

I could go on, but everyone else pretty much said everything.

Here is a question. Tywin is mostly concerned about his family's legacy. Is it possible Tywin poisoned Joff? Never considered it before, but the last episode made me think. The reason I bring this up is because D&D know the ending of aSoIaF, so it is possible (likely) they know who poisons Joff. Tywin isn't terribly pleased with Joff and we know how he feels about Tyrion. Just throwing this out there.

I understand cavalry is expensive, but GoT has one of the largest budgets on television currently, so for them to almost never have a horse is just goofy. Like Jaime and Brienne walking in on foot. Dany not riding a horse through the crowd (much better than crowdsurfing). I'm surprised they didn't have Stannis and Renly parlay on foot tbh.

I just imagined Renly and Stannis riding on make believe horses while their squires bang two coconut halves together.

Okay, got ya. I don't think the actors wages have anything to do with naming the baby Sam, thou. Sure, it's kind of cheesy and it would have been nice to get the "wildlings don't name babies for 2 years" story, but it hasn't been mentioned on the show, so naming the baby Sam isn't really a problem, imo. Although I don't know why they made the change, it would have worked just as well if the baby had no name.

I have no complaint about the actors they do a very fine job with their talents giving great preformances. It is not their fault they are a prop. The content is my complaint when we have seen this scene 3 times in 3 different episodes. Lacking other content. Some content has been botched together in attempt to replicate this story, but often leaving holes everywhere on scenes which tend to stick out badly.

We haven't seen the other baby with the kingsblood for the swap or the beautiful wildling princess and married sister mother. No, I guess that naming doesn't affect Gilly's story. We will understand her, or any mother having to sacrife their baby to a WW or whatever follows. After 3 tries we will understand her pain. Sam had better repeat those vowels, dreading that mcbiglovin, R'hllor save us.

One can now possibly assume it will be glossed over, as the baby has been named smarter then Stannis being fully developed for the next King of Westeros. A Wildling on the Iron Throne named Stam................. I know sheep shift

[PG_Tips]

I don't understand why Bran didn't make Sam promise he wouldn't tell Jon about him.

Without the promise it won't make sense that he's not telling Jon, and if they're going with Jon finding out it won't make sense that he won't go after him. Especially after he finds out about Robb.

[Hangover of the Morning]

A very minor niptick regarding the Tywin/Joffrey scene:

It was a dramatic scene and brilliantly acted but not nearly as funny as in the books. I wished it was followed with Cersei's clumsy apologising and Tyrion's stressing out the "hiding behind the rock" part . I am also pretty sure that most Unsullied didn't really know what was Joffrey referring to since they probably have no clue what Tywin did or didn't do during Robert's rebellion.

[Hangover of the Morning]

Anyone else wonder how Jaime was able to waltz into the Red Keep when no one recognized him as the famous Kingslayer?

Some random dude in the courtyard didn't recognise him but it doesn't mean that nobody else did. I doubt they would let him to Cersei's chambers if they didn't know who he was.

[Humble Hedge Knight]

(Handless homeless man): I'd like to see the queen.

(Lannister Guard): I see no problem with that.

Very interesting. Of course in the books he was going to allow Tyrion to take the black. That would end all of that " is mine by rights" talk.

Horrendous dialogue and acting in this scene

"KILL HIM!!"

*Throws piece of paper into the fire and gets a super quick vision*

".......Actually you might need him"

I'm still under the impression that nearly all the Dragonstone scenes were rushed. Maybe Liam or Stephen had another film to do so they only had a short amount of time to film all the scenes but they just seem really sloppy and amateurish at times.

Yeah, it looked like an actor's workshop to me, where they were about 2/3 the way through in figuring out how to stage it and script it. Very rushed, as if somebody lost a few pages of dialogue between when they were going to kill Davos RIGHT NOW and then they decided no, he's integral to the fight in the North and this whole five kings stuff is peanuts.

Personally, I don't feel the lack of horses diminshed Jaime & Brienne's arrival (they were supposed to look like peasants), but I completely agree with you it did diminish the impact of the Mysha scene.

Its just not the same if Dani doesn't ride towards her children.

It did feel like they were pressed for time. If that was the case, they should've cut the Davos/Gendry jail cell scene, as that time would've been better served in the final scene you're referring to. Overall, it felt clumsy, and didn't have nearly the impact it could and should have.

[Guest]

You know, I watched the episode, waiting for the "cringeworthy" moment of Dany's crowd surfing, and frankly I didn't see anything wrong with it. It seemed kind of genuine, like those ppl were happy and they wanted to thank her.

I have to say, I'm really bothered by people complaining that Dany is a racist character because she's a white woman rescuing slaves who are a different skin color. From where I'm standing, Dany did not rescue the slaves. What she did was what any smart person would have done - she saw an opportunity, same as she did with the sellswords, and offered an alliance.

"Hey you guys, I have an army. Perhaps big enough to take the city, perhaps not. But I promise you that if you rebel you will have my support, you will have my army backing you. This may be your best chance to regain your freedom, I urge you to take it!"

And the slave's response was "Hell yeah!"

She's offering support, she isn't their lord and savior or something, and she isn't trying to be. She's making a strategic alliance, going off of her own experience and what she's done in the past. And the slaves being intelligent took the offer. Yes they are grateful, but I don't see them all bowing to her or groveling in the dirt like she's a god - they pick her up and cheer her the same way a football team might pick up and cheer a coach - "Yeah we won! Great plan man!"

Frankly, anyone who dismisses the slaves as "portrayed as stupid" is being silly. Yeah, they could have turned on their masters alone. But seriously, does anyone think that would have worked? The Yunkai aren't idiots, that's probably happened before, and I bet the slaves who did it were slaughtered to a man. The key difference here isn't a white woman, it's the massive ARMY she has standing behind her promising to back them up.

The Yunkai were distracted, they had just lost their sellswords, they have a massive army (now ever bigger because those same sellswords went over to their enemies) pounding on their doors and they are in a panic and upheaval. It's the perfect time for the slaves to strike because this scenario will likely never happen again.

[Davos55]

A comment for the season as a whole....Waaaayyy too little Mance Rayder. I know that his story doesn't fit in well with what they did this season, but I have been so pumped for him to arrive on the show, and he was barely in it at all. Disappointing.

[Eddard the Builder]

Ugh Jamie being back in King's Landing utterly destroys his Lord Commander speech in ASOS.

"Since I have left 2 kings have died in your service."

Now what do we get instead?

30 seconds of him arriving for a one word scene with Cersei. Goddamn it D&D.
