  1. 9 out of 10, I thought the Yunkai scenes were mis placed and did not fit into the episode at all. I also wanted Ygritte to shoot Jon snow with an arrow (on a personal level). Also, could have done a better job with building the wedding tension for us book readers.

    "Blackwater" and "Baelor" still stand out as the show at it's best. The best episode of the season still remains, "And now his watch has ended" followed by "Second Sons" both perfect 10s IMO.

  2. 1. Is Mel going to meet Arya in the books? Will Arya be the one who finishes off Queen Cersei posing as the corpse of Tyrion?

    Remember they told the one hooker in Braavos who folks think is Tysha that her love will return to her one day, but her love would be already dead. Arya can assume Tyrion's body as the FM do and go and finish off Cersei . . .

    2. Mel going to meet Arya, is that a part of an ending that GRRM told D and D about that we got informed about last night?

    Still has me guessing . .

  3. Everything was perfect minus Shea. So really no complaints at all from me as I can just tune her out. Loved the Queen of Thorns and it's always good to see the Hound. Also Howland Reed was spoken about and that gives me goosebumps.

    I agree, outstanding Episode, definitely building toward many things this season.

    Lord Karstark, "This war was over the moment you married her."

    Karstark complaining about the defection of The Frey men, also it seems Robb has lost the cause of some in the Riverlands.

  4. 8/10. Slow but necessary slow. Thought the scene with Bronn and the Working Girl was a bit unnecessary. But overall things flowed smoothly. I was impressed by Dormer as Madge Tyrell. Joffrey seems to be getting a real affection for Madge. It will play powerfully into her plot.

  5. I'm so very excited for this now! It's like Blackwater epic. I'll definitely have to reread Dany's chapters a lot to get a good grasp on all these people though, I don't remember many of them.

    Also, read Barristan's Chapters in ADWD he mentions a lot of folks and lays the ground work for the plan. The one wild card is The Harpy aka The Green Grace.

  6. So it's looking like this is our order of the Fire Battle so far:

    • Barristan I: Prepares to march
    • Victarion I: Prepares to sail in
    • Tyrion I: Tries to convince Plumm to flip, waits for Barristan to march, sees Victarion's fleet sail in
    • Barristan II: The battle. Notices Victarion's ships.

    At this point things are going really well for Dany's side. So we're probably very close to the point where the dragon horn gets blown and things go pear-shaped in some insane way.

    AMEN,

    Once the Dragon Horn is blown, I think total chaos will break out . . . with Ser Selmy dying in the battle, maybe even Victarion. Selmy won't survive this day, I feel it . . we all have read enough GRRM to know as when it seemed Stannis had won Blackwater, out of no where he got smashed by the Tyrell and Lannister Hosts and a Tyrell dressed as Renly.

    Also, one thing GRRM has taught us, "NEVER TRUST A SELLSWORD."

    Bronn bailed on Tyrion

    Brown Ben Plumm had his gold taken by his Sgt then betrayed Dany,

    Daario killed his captain and took control of the company,

    The Second Sons, StormCrows betrayed The Yunkai.

    Chaos is about to break out . .

  7. Dany's storyline in book 3 was great. It contains one of, if not my all time favorite moment. After the transaction she rides up and down the ranks of the Unsullied telling them they are hers as the slaver tries to yank Drogon up the stairs and asks why he won't obey, "That's because he's not a slave. Dracarys!" Oh my GOD that was amazing.

    But I think the show took a lot of the punch out of that scene by having her basically do that in the HotU. I like the whole HotU scene as a whole, and as a non book reader would have loved the ending as well. But knowing that scene in Storm, that's all I could think about.

    Anyway, I think on the whole, Storm will be adapted far more faithfully than Clash simply by them having 20 hours to tell the story, not 10. So, I'm confident everything that got pushed out of Clash will be done justice in seasons 3 and 4. I also think Feast will start to bleed into season 4 a bit. I think the chronology of book to season will get real messy with season 4, certainly 5.

    I agree . . from now on we will see more a blended time line with some events pushed back and some moved forward . ... it is D and D's baby totally now.

  8. What'd you think?

    Best show on Television along with Boardwalk Empire, Dexter and Homeland . .

    Here

    1. I enjoyed the Queen Dany scenes, they were good.

    2. I liked the Zombie Apocalypse army at the end led by the White Walkers/Others

    3. I didn't like Robb's wedding to gods he doesn't believe in . . I thought they screwed the pooch with Robb this year.

    4. The Winterfell destruction is a mystery as they have changed the reasons and causes for things on the show.

    5. Jon's story was the weakest and the worst adapted this year, but has potential for next season.

    6. Good to see King's Landing and I loved Shae's acting toward the end of the episode.

    Setting up for seasons 3 and 4 of Storm of Swords/Feast

  9. Had to give it a 10. It was almost flawless. My one minor complaint is WHY DIDN'T THE HOUND WEAR HIS HOUND HELMET? THAT IS THE COOLEST HELMET EVER!!!! He never wears the f'ing thing. Should have worn it when he rescued Sansa a few weeks ago too!!!

    Other than that, GRRM should now be forced to write every episode and Neil Marshal must direct them all as well. There was such a quality difference with the cast and writing for Episode 10. The wild fire scene was jaw dropping. And Sansa was also awesome. My mother can't believe they killed tyrion. He he he.

    R.M. said the reason he doesn't wear the Hound Helmet is because it is too hard to see out of when fighting. Didn't want to injure anyone during filming the scenes.

    Also, a few folks asked me today if Tyrion was dead . . . good adaptation with Ser Moore.
