  1. Gods dammit i shouldn't have read the commentary im so spoiled right now. I guess the bright side is i can enjoy the episode without expecting Stannis to show up and then being disappointed the battle hasn't finished, Stannis is in 4x10 don't worry guys
  2. There's lots of material, and interesting as well. - saying goodbye to sam, gilly and maester aemon (ep.1) - melisandre interactions/stannis claiming the castles along the wall (ep 2) - Slynt beheading (ep 3) - stannis planning attack on winterfell (ep 4) - finally letting the wildlings through then stannis departure (ep 5) - Jon organising thing from ep6-10 ultimately ending with his stabbing They are going to skip her actions. The only thing she will be doing is meeting the ladies of the vale on her 'tour' with sweetrobin. And i'm sure it'll be different than the books, they'll skip the descent.
  3. They managed to finish Sansa's whole AFFC arc in like 10 minutes so...
  4. I don't know about that. They seem to be moving things pretty fast, and LC election IS in ASOS. They'd want to wrap that up this season. All they have to do is mention of the LC elections in stannis/jon talk. Have a few scenes with Sam trying to convince people and then the election itself. They'll keep the rest of the jon/stannis/melisandre interaction for next season.
  5. Arya will sail away in episode 10. They have apparently cast a bravoosi ship captain. I do think we will see Jon become LC. They have a knack for putting in filler scenes that go no where and wrapping up people's storylines in a few minutes. It can be done.
  6. :agree: You have put it eloquently. Thats exactly what it meant. Tyrion spent time trying to figure out why Olson was smashing beetles- there was no reason, he was just intellectually disabled.
  7. Cousin is Olson i believe. Yeh i agree with your assessment as well. At first i thought it was a metaphor for tywin, but it had a deeper meaning. Represents the chaos of life. I also liked the fact that tyrion tried to understand it. Theres that famous saying, "it's like an ant trying to understand the inner workings of the human brain" (can't remember exact quote). it also reminded me of that hemingway book, A Farewll to Arms, the quote about burning ants.
  8. Beetle speech was a metaphor for the Gods undiscriminately killing people because they can. That there is no order to the killing, there is just killing. Also that we'll never understand the intentions or order the Gods see fit for a person to die. I quite enjoyed the beetle monologue. It was just too long, especially when most people would've preferred more tyrion/oberyn time or more fighting time. I don't think Tyrion hated his cousin, as he said, making fun of him made him feel normal it was just an attempt to inject humour into the scene. I actually really like the grey worm/ missandei romance that is developing. but again they spent too much time on it!
  9. Certainly an improvement on episode 7. The only thing that bothered me was omission of the poison on the spear, which i think will be revealed in ep10 anyway. A scene with qyburn and cersei should suffice and a screaming mountain. Would've preferred a longer scene with the fighting. This scene would've been so much better with season 1 mountain..the Mountains dialogue at the end just didn't seem as effective and i didn't even hear it over the screams (including my own haha) it didn't seem to capture his rage and psychoticness and they didn't even show his frustration by being tantalised by oberyn. The reveal of Sansa Stark, maybe a little too soon...but i think all these implications can be resolved. Didn't enjoy LF not being in control though and Sansa being a very obvious player. But i guess they had to make her do something otherwise it'll get a little boring. Arya/hound scene pretty pointless and her laugh was kinda scary. Why wasn't there any explanation of WHY the ironborn were dying..bog devils anyone? Was a good chance to connect to the Reeds as well. Didn't enjoy theon breaking down and becoming reek in front of the ironborn. Many think the missandei/grey worm is a waste of time, i really enjoy them though. Both actors have a chemistry and it is a nice change from all the despair and heartbreak. Wow emilia and iain did a great job with the banishing scene. nearly overshadowed the duel Tyrions speech was a tad too long. Nice metaphor for the chaos of westeros. a solid 9/10
  10. OMFG. okay that mountain vs viper battle was way more brutal to watch than to read. i just can't. still shocked. Beautiful choreography by the people doing the fight. Oberyn kcked ass with the spear. Sansa's development, too soon? I'm not sure, enjoyed Sophie's scenes though, what a performance she gave those eyrie lords! Aryas laugh ..? Tyrion's story about the beetles...can't remember if this was in the book, a metaphor for Tywin or someone else? Love the relationship that is developing b/w missandei and grey word, absolutely precious. Nearly cried in the jorah/dany scene. Happy with the performances of both emilia and iain. So heartbreaking. Good ol' Barry as well, being a badass Ironborn/Bolton. Did not expect to see the flayed man :stunned: :ack: and it wasn't explained well, WHY the ironborn were dying in moat cailin? what happened to mention of the bog devils? Loved ramsay's glee at becoming a bolton :stillsick: Gilly scene and wilding raid was a good scene. shows Ygritte isn't just a senseless killer.
  11. serious cringe on LF + Sansa kiss My concern is, now that rorge and biter are dead, who will brienne fight? most of the memorable mountains men are dead...oh shit she is going to meet LS! :O Tyrion and Oberyn stole the show Loved the Hound's speech about his brother, love rory :bowdown: Not sure about Arya's emotionless killing :uhoh: Daario's ass :cool4: . Not too keen on the actor though, too nice? but eghhh If they hurt Shireen i will crack it :devil: Almost cried when hot pie came on screen again! i loved his scene! "never give up on the gravy!"
  12. Enjoyed seeing Braavos, the Iron Bank and scene with Salladhor Saan. Honestly, Yara's speech was awesome, but when she got to Theon...it was hard to watch. I think it's just the fact that I feel Theon would not be that broken this early. But arghhh her little rescue, would've been better without it i think. So now Theon's little moat cailin adventure is too early. I'm sure the show people will do well to make it work Best part of Dany's scene was Drogon and the sheep herder. Definitely a bit empty, and was kind've confused as to why Hizdahr was speaking in an english accent. KL's time was the best. I don't know how i feel about the council knowing so much about Dany...? did this happen in the books? I think they are building Jorah up as a traitor. I thought Varys's scene was SO out of character, but i guess they need to build him up as something, but his conversation with Oberyn really irked me for some reason. Tyrion, Jaime, Cersei, Tywin and Shae receive an A+ They made Shae to look like she was frightened, and made to say those things. But my unsullied family didn't pick up on it--or didn't say anything Best lines go to Oberyn
  13. I was really surprised to see Locke go, i thought he'd have a bigger role to play in the series...meh it was satisfying to see Hodor be done with him Jon + Ghost reunion made me smile Jojen's fire vision, my theory is that we will be turned into a wight when he dies and thus set a fire
