go joff go Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I hope people understood that is what "nice" Cersei was all about - working the judges -- Mace's daughter, Tywin, Oberyn. funny how book ready scream about the shows lack of subtlety out of one side of there mouths while missing the subtlety with the other side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeStillKnowNothingJonSnow Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I did like the touch of Sweetrobin merrily accepting his gift and then just as merrily tossing it out the Moon Door. It was an elegant way of showing how thoughtless and spoiled he is. Also liked the mention of the chaos in Yunkai and Astapor, and of Cleon. reminded me of a younger joffrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chebyshov Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Ya I thought it was pretty obvious what she was doing, and she wasn't just being "nice". She was in full game mode. Marg and Tywin's WTF faces seemed to go towards that too.And Oberyn was just pensive and poetic, lol. He'll be sorely missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonDunn Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Those Cersei scenes were really well done/ Of course it went over the head of most obsessive book readers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obebb Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Makes me hopeful we may get a good amount of them cast for next season. I assumed they would probably conflate a few, but at least leaves the doors open for all of them if they want Yeah. I was very shocked that they actually mentioned he had 8. Of course that doesn't mean they'll cast all 8 but I was expecting something more like saying he only has 3 and just leaving it at that.

Cold Hands warm heart Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Since change was made in the Loarch/ Locke character I would of liked to see him omitted. I thought he must be a vehicle for some important reveal. No just a little killin' I am just wishing more was put into other lines. Knowing from the books, there is a lot of stuff going on. Having a roll eat up valuable screen time that we can't get back at the end, erks me : } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Pipes Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) In the books, it's mentioned that the Greatjon raided three of the Lannister gold mines. Nothing was ever mentioned of it again in the books. If they had worked that into the show, this might have made a little more sense.

Colonel Green Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 reminded me of a younger joffrey That's going a bit far. He seemed quite sincere in loving the gift, he just didn't think about throwing it as a demonstration. I thought that was very believably childish.

P. frontalis chiripepe Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I could almost feel Margaery's tension when Cersei caught her making googly eyes at Tommen and then started walking toward her. In her place I would have been sweating right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 And Oberyn was just pensive and poetic, lol. He'll be sorely missed. Cute... "yeah, I'm only writing some poetry"... ("Dear Doran... everything here is fucked up. King's dead. Wasn't me. Tyrells everywhere. And the Targaryen chic has DRAGONS. BROTHERFUCKING DRAGONS. Love, Ob".)

Onna Lewyys Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 this happened in the books.Bran did not use Hodor's body to kill someone in the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Man Has Said Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Fighting with a longsword in an enclosed place against someone with two daggers is pretty difficult. But Snow recovered in the end. Nicely foreshadowed a couple of episodes in the scene where Oberyn tells the Lannister guards that a longsword is a poor choice of weapon in close quarters.

White Harbors Wrath Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) [*]“Hounds chained up inside”!!!! -- umm, direwolves. Made me laugh.Pretty sure he wasn't talking about the wolves, he was trying to steer the NW clear of Brans cabin so he could do his thing.

Tyrion Hand of the King Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 but once he does that, there's really nothing left for him. Yea it seems like they'll almost certainly be dipping into TWOW material for Bran next season. Maybe pretty early on in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokieStone Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Previews for next week showed Tywin & Company talking about Dany setting up shop as queen. Ser Jorah is still sending reports back to Kings Landing, I take it? Dany will find out around episode 9 or so, and that's when she'll banish him...

Newstar Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 reminded me of a younger joffrey Did he toss it out the Moon Door in front of the person who had given him the gift because he's just that thoughtless and spoiled, or because he's genuinely disturbed? Hard to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Pipes Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 it also made me wish someone would push Sweetrobin out the Moon Door :) It was a great touch although keeping that Moon Door open would freak me the hell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldi_AA Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Jon Arryn reveal was underwhelming poorly placed it will make the only cat scene worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
