[Book Spoilers] EP307 Discussion
redriver replied to Ran's topic in E07: The Bear and the Maiden Fair
I agree with this.And perhaps he could be used to tell Bran that Ramsay is inquiring about him. -
I know.Margery and her shoulder throwing almost ruined it for me.

Well,it's too late now.I've read them all twenty times.I can't unread them,nor squeeze milk back up a cow's udder.And no,the Ramsay reveal will happen,and be more devastating for the viewer,when the time is ripe.

I thought they dragged Rast back for that.Gorman is too big a name and too good an actor for a bit part like that.But,he's wandering around like he belongs and no one is questioning his presence,so yes it looks like he's the Craster killer,not Coldhands. Odd,though.

Has anyone figured out why Burn Gorman was wandering round Craster's Crib?Is he Coldhands?

Jaime ,as he was being led away after being recaptured,to Cat "Why you've turned into a she-wolf in your old age.There's no more fish left in you". ETA At least that's what I think I heard??

Gave it a 10.Lot of posters not liking the Jon scenes,but I think Ygritte redeems them with her piss taking humor. Made a post in the discussion thread about why I like it,so I won't repeat it here.

We always seem to focus on deviations from the books but there are other components which make this fantastic TV. The striking thing for me is how it looks.I think the sets,the locations,the costumes,attention to detail,the lighting the cinematography are all really top class.I know HD television in itself improves the visual experience,but it looks to me the HBO are taking full advantage of the technology. The acting,both individual and ensemble,has been top class.Stand outs for me have been Dinklage,Allen,Heady,Malahide,but I really can't find anyone to criticize.Coster-Waldau was outstanding in this episode,and the good news is we're going to see much more of him from now on. I don't mind the plot deviations as long as they resolve themselves correctly,and time will tell on that score.Dany's changes look to be an improvement imo. This is compelling,top class television.

About stonemasons.These are the guys who write inscriptions in stone.In our world they've been doing it since the Sumerian civilization. They were deemed to be highly skilled and,of necessity,literate.They formed a guild called the Stonemasons which still survives today,known as the Masons. It's not improbable that they passed their knowledge on to their children either here or in Westeros. So,cleverly played by Arya.

Valid points.But I think the time to judge TV deviations from the books is at the end of the series. We have to give them time to play out.For example,the dragon theft has raised a few eyebrows round here.But I'm thinking it adds drama to a drama free passage in Dany's arc,apart from the HOTU chapter itself. Do you think the episodes improve on re-viewing?

Cracking episode.Gave it a 9,only because I'm saving my 10's for later.I'm not bothered by the deviations from the books. If they seem a bit odd now,I'm sure they will work ultimately,including the theft of the dragons. I laughed out loud at the Lorch death.I'm hoping it was meant to be funny.

Cranked it up to a 9 for this episode.But one quibble,I thought it was customary for the ladies in Qarth to leave one breast exposed?I hate it when they deviate from the authenticity of the books. :drool:

[Book Spoilers] Ep 203 Discussion
redriver replied to Ran's topic in E03: What Is Dead May Never Die
Cranking it up to a 9 now. The tension is gearing up.Tyrion excells as usual. And alas,poor Yoren,we knew him well. One example of the TV being better than the books.- 807 replies

From an Irish perspective,no confusion.No real need for the name change. Then again the name change is no big deal to me. ETA Should have quoted-talking about the Asha/Yara thing

Yes.It states in the English translation of the Dothraki that "Rakharo will ride with his ancestors tonight".
