  1. I'm re-reading Dance. In a Jon POV, Edd tells him Bowen Marsh and two companions are outside his chambers. Edd says "They have a hungry look about them." This is a direct reference to 'Julius Caesar'! I never noticed it before. A good bit of foreshadowing, I would say.

    The way Jon dies at the end of Dance is similar to the way Ceasar is killed by Brutus and the senators

  2. I gave it a nine. The acting was as ever superb and Michelle Fairey continues to do a great job . My favourite scene this week was again Tywin and Arya - they paly so well together, they are like a kindly old grandfather with his granddaughter.

    Iain Glen as jorah continues to be cool as f*ck and you know somethings in the offing when he appeared in his armour to go and search for the dragons. However the scene between him and Danerys felt a bit Jane Austen.

    The scene with Jaime and the squire was drawn out too long, but with what happened I can understand the thinking behind it - to show Jaime as a ruthless, selfish person.

    Only thing I don't like is Ygritte- she really grates on me and ruins the show for me.

  3. I wasn't that keen on this episode in fact I think it was the worst of the 2 series - I gave it a 7. However so many people have given it a 10 I'm going to watch it again. I really don't like Shae. Brienne was good but I still think Lucy Lawless should have been cast in this role.

    Tyrion's scenes were excellent as always but I also liked Margery. The way Tyrion's deception wa portrayed wa sheer excellence. For me the best acting was from Michelle Fairey (Catelyn).

    It seems they placed an awful lot from the book into this one epsiode which is a a good thing as it makes it reasonably fast paced. You have to admit to some extent these books are hard to follow and the way it has been adapted to tv hass hed a new light on the story for me. Bernoff & Weiss have done a fantastic job.
