Stannis is pretty much destroyed as a character my first thoughts. Has to be least closest character to his book version where stannis i books is in my top 5.

Holly shit so sad even if i read books i cried :(

eddard :( so sad

the moment we all have been waiting to see happen in tv series... its about to happen

9

Really the only thing that stopped this from being a ten was the house of the undying, but let's be honest, they've fucked Dany up so much this season, was anyone expecting anything less? I even liked her walking out of the Throne room to the other side of the wall, considering that's where her real war will be, but the way she was chained and killed Pyat Pree was just...I'm convinced D&D are part of the crew that hate Dany and are trying as hard as they can to make the T.V. folk do the same.

Anyway, on with the highs. I loved Stannis's scene. And for anyone who says it was out of character, just remember what we are told about his mind set during the first half of SOS. Theon's speech was great. So was his anger for the horn blower. I knew they were just going to let his men betray him, so it didn't bother me that we didn't get to see the Bastard of Bolton. (Not bastard, never bastard! You mustn't call him that!) The horse shitting made me laugh, just because so many diehards on this board argued they wanted to see it. The whole scene in the throne room was by the book, so that was great. I loved seeing the face change. For a second I thought they wouldn't show it. Without little grandfather I didn't expect the Stark boys to be split up, so nothing there. Jon's scene was rushed. The who thing with him and the Halfhand was D.A.B. I'm still pissed about Ghost too. I don't know why they already showed Littlefinger as Sanas savor, but T.V. wise I guess it works. Tyrion's scene with Shae was Emmy worthy. His breakdown looked 100% real, unlike his scar...they better make that look better next season. Not noseless, I fully understand you can't do that, but how about make it look like it wont fall from his face if he turn's his head too fast. I liked the look of the Others better last season, but if we're going to be getting full views of them, you kinda have to lay the makeup on a bit differently. The CGI dead zombie folks looked great though.

As for the season as a whole, I'd give it a strong eight where last years was a outstanding ten. A Clash of Kings is a developing story, and probably the weakest of the series, but I was let down in someways regardless. Mainly because of Dany, who is my favorite in the book. If they fuck her Storm of Swords story up like they did this year...boy are they in trouble. She easily the most interesting in that story.

Have to agree with this most of stuff was good dany stuff this sesason was just meh... She was so good in s1 i dont think its actor they are just doing her story badly.

I loved this episode. If you don't need to see a carbon copy of the book and just look at how the series works, you'd note this episode was extremely well scripted, acted and edited.

Jorah kissed her full on the mouth in the book.

Yes, what the hell is up with him? I liked him in season 1 but his acting has gone downhill like crazy. He sounds like an irritating monotonous buzz.

Was that not in the third book? He confesses his love.

Why did everyone hate Qarth.. i dont get it. Is it because of this jorah and dany thing. Is there not a small romance or thing with them in the books?

The Arya/Tywin scene was a perfect 10! But I'd give the whole thing a 9, ton's of story covered and I love that. For a man of 90+ years Roy Dotrice as the Pyromancer was great to see sincee I'm a huge fan of his audiobook readings.

Was really dissapointed that they changed Dany's Qarth dress for my own perverted reasons though;-)

Umm yea i can see why you would want it but honestly it would be to much to ask for actor to walk around nude 24/7. They get away with alot nudity already.
