Warhawk137 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 2/10 I hated those Thenn. That gets it a 2/10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scabbard Of the Morning Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'd normally give it a 7, but I have to bump it up to an 8 for the sword of the morning name drop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Godric Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'd give it an solid 8. A really good episode overall, I really loved the opening with Twin but some of the changes (ugh such a purist) I didn't like, particularly Tyrion's welcoming of Oberyn.

Señor de la Tormenta Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 That gets it a 2/10?plus the lack of magic with Neds sword as if it doesnt want to be splited, the still "Ewing Dallas" view of the Lannister family, the Noyed Allister Thorne which neglets further book cool scenes, and the awful way they are doing the Shae story.....etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shadow Wolf Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Had to give it a ten just for the ending alone. Loved Arya sticking it to Polliver. Almost felt like a Dany ending with the GoT theme in the background and Arya riding away on her white horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalibakCruel Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 9/10 As far as openers go, this is my favorite since the season 1's. Loved Aryas scene, liked all of Jaime's scenes, and Oberyn is looking good already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widows_Blood Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I gave it a ten because I am high on joy right now. Honestly, i'd give it a 9. Thenn introduction was great. Kit Harington was great. Red Viper intro was spot on. Arya and the hound was icing on the cake. I also loved the shot of the destroyed countryside at the end. One quibble I have had with this show is that they have sort of neglected how the war has impacted the small folk so I am very glad that we will get a look into that though Arya and the hound.

TheWhiteRabbit Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Thought it was the best season opener since season 1. Especially the last part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batavian Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 10 out of 10. Fantastic casting of Pedro Pascal as the Red Viper. Really looking forward to following Oberyn’s storyline in the series. Looks like the CG has improved too with the increase in popularity of the series. Drogon is the coolest dragon since the stop-motion Vermithrax of DragonSlayer. Refreshing after the hugely disappointing portrayal of Smaug in that other epic fantasy. It will be interesting see how well Michiel Huisman does. I think the Daario recast will be more significant than the other major recast in season 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Died a Hero Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) 9 Loved the open. Tywin putting the wolf pelt in the flame was a great touch. The Red Viper was very Red Viper. I know the prudes on the board will piss and moan, but Oberyn's track is one of sex and blood. Get used to it. Poor Sansa. Marge and gandma kickass picked up right where they left off. Shea the Funny Whore was meh. But she's always meh. LOVED the Thenn. My little brother was freaked the fucked out when he saw them. I didn't mind the Ayra change up on the time line. It'll hurry the bond between her and the Hound so TV onrly folks see what the payoff is on episode 9. All and all, good stuff. Great to have our baby back. Edit: Oh, the pointing child! NVM. That made this a 10! I can't believe they didn't cut it out. Sure, it wasn't an infant, but good enough.

P. frontalis chiripepe Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'd say 8.5. Love seeing Aemon back. I enjoyed Bronn and Sandor's lines. I think Oberyn's introduction was perhaps laid on a bit thick, but I think he plays the part well. Shae is getting pretty jealous....we know what that means.....;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitac Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 9/10 but only because my heart wasn't crazy racing like it has for other episodes (Blackwater and Red Wedding). I'm so happy this is back. I thought the dragons scene was well done. Kit is acting all grown up as he should. Fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaegar Jaime Tyrell Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I loved it. Not sure about bringing the "Mercy" stuff up this early, but otherwise, it was great.What was that, think i missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jslay427 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Didn't really like the Brienne and Jamie exchange about Sansa. Hard to do anything else due to the PW having taken place in the books before Jamie gets to KL. Wanted him to be like, I will keep this vow and save her. Still a 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabronius Maximus Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'd give an 8.5, but I just rounded up to a 9. I thought it was great aside from Dany's scenes. I'm not a fan of book Dany so there's some obvious bias, but I just thought her scenes were lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howling Mad Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Oberyn Martell's introduction was one of the best of the series. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalibakCruel Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Oh I'd like to add in that Kit's acting in this episode, in the little he was in, is miles better than he's been all series long lol. Maybe it was just me, but I actually BELIEVED his acting today. Especially when he talked about eating with the wildlings. Also, liked the Thenns.

Frankly, I was liking where he was going with the character toward the end of the season last year. Particularly his bit to Ygritte about how they can't win. Maybe it's just his interpretation of the way the character grows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was great in season one and had great moments in season 3, especially GRRM's episode. Like Emilia Clarke, their acting suffers when the writing suffers. When Kit is given good lines, like this episode, he really shines. I thought he was wonderful. Sounded like he's really grown up. Put that punk ass Slynt back in his place. Can't wait for "Edd fetch me a block". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaegar Jaime Tyrell Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Loved the hound.Thenn were scary, reminded me of hellraiser. Were they cannibals in the book?Oberyn was great and he is great for the role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
