Freerider

Freerider (2/8)

  1. In ADwD, Tyrion remembers reading stories he found ridiculous about dragons guarding treasure. Definitely an homage to The Hobbit. There's also the fact that "Drogo" was the name of Frodo Baggins' father.
  2. Best episode of season 3 so far. The cave scene between Jon and Ygritte was really well done. A good escape from the horror and death that makes up the rest of the story. The bath scene with Jaime and Brienne was excellent. Very well written by Brian Cogman and fantastically acted by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Gwendoline Christie, where we finally see a more human side to Jaime. I also have to voice my opinion that Michael McElhatton who plays Roose Bolton is the show's most underrated actor. The scene where he told Jaime about the Battle of Blackwater Bay was brilliantly subtle. I hugely enjoyed the scene between the Tyrion and Olenna. Not from the book, but a really interesting encounter between the two most intelligent characters in the series. Not a smart expectation on my part, but I didn't think they'd actually show Karstark killing the Lannister boys. The scene of Robb beheading Karstark was brilliantly handled, the similarities to Theon killing Rodrik was a nice way of showing the Robb is losing his grip. The Dragonstone scenes were interesting, as Stannis seems to have a closer relationship with Selyse and Shireen than he does in the books. The dead fetuses in the jars were very creepy and it's not altogether ridiculous to imagine that they did exist in the book. Shireen was made very likable by Kerry Ingram and I like the interaction between herself and Davos. Her singing Patchface's song was a cool nod to book readers. The Hound vs Beric was awesome, and Maisie Williams was on the top of her game in every one of her scenes. Richard Dormer did a great job of showing Beric's depleted humanity. The scene between Jorah and Barristan showed that despite both of them being knights, there's a lot of contrast between them. Barristan's speech about wanting to serve someone he believes in gave us a great insight into what an honorable man he is. Nice hint at the end that Barristan knows that Jorah is one of Varys' spies. The casting of Grey Worm was very fitting, he really feels like a warrior who has been enslaved all his life. I loved the way he delivered his lines in Valyrian, he did it with a lot of intensity. The final scene really showed Tywin's influence, one of the few times he's ever raised his voice. Despite the fact that his children and are the Queen Regent and the Master of Coin, he still has them on a tight leash. Clever way of avoiding unnecessary characters by replacing Willas with Loras. Speaking of Loras, his scene was the episode's only weak point. He seems to have gotten over Renly's death WAY too quickly. There were plenty of other things they could have done to have Littlefinger discover the marraige plot.
