Kungsmurfen Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I enjoyed pretty much everything in the episode! :D Was the man Oberyn choose the same guy that Loras had sex with in S3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newstar Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Everyone's acting was on point. Kit Harington's acting had noticeably improved. Even Tony Way was leagues better than he was in Dontos' previous episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria underfoot Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 And Sophie Turner was really good. I was surprised, but she moved me.... I miss Catelyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybobbie Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I loved the episode, the best premiere after the first season IMO. But to list some of my favorite moments I have to go with the majority here: Oberyn and Tyrion, Jon scene and the great lines from Maester Aemon and of course the whole scene at the inn with the Hound and Arya. Ah, I also loved the scene of Dan and the dragons, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livernonions Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 They nailed Oberyn. His scenes told you everything you need to know abou him, dangerous, reckless, arrogant, graceful, sensual, and fearless. It woudl've been interesting to watch Oberyn interact with pre-Vargo Jaime, although I'm not sure if one scene could handle that much ego! I also enjoyed seeing this episode pull together events from each of the first three seasons (Ned's beheading, blackwater, red wedding), the writers did a great job of illustrating the gravity of all of these events and the shift in power from the Baratheons and Starks (counting Joffrey as a Lannister) to the Lannisters.

If yes, it was a nice touch They've been showing Winterfell as a burning ruin for awhile, at least since the season 3 premiere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairion Lannister Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The first scene was excellent. Really atmospheric, and the theme change from Stark to Lannister was well done. Oberyn is very good. People here seemed to be worried about him, but he seems to have nailed the character so far. The positive aspect of the show is that we'll see more of him than just the few scenes he's in with Tyrion in the books. I liked that they're trying to bring in mentions of other characters from the background: Elia and Rhaegar, as well as Arthur Dayne. While it's impossible for it to be as vast as the books, the show does a great job at showing the scope of this world. The final scene was very good. Arya's murder of Polliver was quite chilling in the way she brutally stuck the sword into his throat, while methodically repeating his words. Different to the books where she seems more angry instead of cold, but still very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'96Buck Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Statue of King Joffrey the Crossbowman, standing on a direwolf. I didn't count the bolts in the wolf, should be 7 but I don't think it was. (Royal sculptor would credit Joff with "kills" for the youngest 3, I suppose) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takiedevushkikakzvezdy Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Is there an implied romance between Grey Worm and Missandei? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~DarkHorse~ Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The statue of Joffrey was a nice touch- comical, yet anger invoking. And people say the Iron Throne needs to be destroyed....right after that damn statue. I really hope it pops up again and is smashed....maybe someone can behead the thing! The hellish, waste land shot of the Riverlands at the end. It was symbolic that Arya was heading down a destructive and dark path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can melt it down and turn it into a pair of smaller statutes of Arya and Bran. *snicker* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jairion Lannister Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Also, I quite liked that we got a scene between Jaime and Joffrey. Whether Jaime should've come back early or not, it's great that we got to see a scene between the two of them since we never do in the book.
