Swan Targ

Did I miss something but how did Melissandre know Gendry is Robert's bastard?

Wasn't like a huge kept secret to everyone even Arya?

She came in as if she knew he was there and what he looked like.

Look I know what he meant... I do have something quite reliable between my ears.

So is Mad Men, a show where both men and women are potrayed in a society that heavily favors men. A society hostile to women.

What I DON'T understand is why he assumed that someone reading ASOIAF must a priori be ok with sexism? We are at liberty to discuss those themes, and disagree at how women are treated in Westeros. Moreover GRRM actually identifies as a feminist, and strives to write rich female characters, who if I do say so myself, thrive in a world hostile to them.

Also, a statement like that can't possibly end well. Cut it out!

You don't have to be ok with sexism

But complaining that something in ASOIAF is sexist it's stupid to me. Of course it's gonna be sexist.

Someone needs to tell HBO that we understood already that Loras is gay.

If people are so bothered with sexism, they should just stay away from A Song of Ice and Fire.

5.

I'm just not feeling the relationship between Jon and Yggrite. It's just blah to me.

I think they're just doing that so when she dies it will be overly dramatic.

Pretty much all scenes besides Tywin/QoT and LF/Varys scenes were boring.

Been rewatching the 1st season and maybe it's Sean Bean's greatness but I'd consider all 10 episodes to be 10/10. King Robert is awesome as well.

So considering how much better I like season 1 I'm going to have to cap each ep of season 3 at 8/10 unless it really knocks my socks off.

First season had a lot of great actors.

Ned, Robert and Viserys. All great.

I give it a 8

The sword fighting was splendid.

really liked Robb's scenes and Karstark execution too.

Jaime's confession was great.

Charles Dance owning the scene as usual.

Jon and Ygritte was alright. But I'm not really feeling their relationship like in the book.

I only have a problem with Barristan and Jorah scene, being all BFFs and Barristan not knowing that Jorah was an informer to Varys.

I know.Margery and her shoulder throwing almost ruined it for me.

That was also weird to me

But I noticed she is toning down her Anne Boleyn vibe, so that's a good thing

Awesome episode! And entirely boobless, oddly enough. It's like they had to fast forward some plot to make up for all of last week's useless nudy scenes. Thank you whoever at HBO got on that.

Agree completely.

I think this is the best episode of this season so far and one of the best in the series.

Absolutely perfect.

I was just waiting for Dany to start speaking valyrian and I orgasmed from then on. And finally not one single worthless scene in this episode either.

10!!!
