Florina Laufeyson Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 There was no Bronn but I thought I saw Jerome Flynn's name in the credits. Yeah his name was there. dunno why he wasnt there. Arya added Beric & Thoros to her prayer? That's . . . weird. Could that be leading to something in the future between her and the BWB? Spoiler? Nah. Thats Arya being hella pissed about them selling Gendry out to Melisandre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zman1863 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Just a thought. Bran kills show Jaime's handslayer... Could be nothing but I'm not so sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundy Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Anybody else glad the Craster´s keep filler plot is finally over?Yes.Locke's end though.... felt very anti-climatic. I was hoping they'd turn the interesting Locke into an interesting story, then... Buh-bye. I was disappointed. Lots of potential for fun with character development there, gone to waste.

Obebb Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Bran: A Completely Adequate Set of Scenes: So, other than the fact that Jojen may burn to the Red God (….meh….), I didn’t MIND Bran’s scenes… other than make me wish they didn't;’t have to have them in the first place. They were fine; I thought they saved some time and the actor’s SAG credits. HE can get paid in good conscious. At the same time… why? Was any of that necessary? I get why they did it and I can see it better, but ultimately I am left with the ringing in my ear of the contrived nature of all of it. I am glad its over (just as unresolved, pointless, and “Wea re Right Back Where We Started” Nature of it all). A bait-and-switch and none of it made much sense at all. But… hey… at least Bran was there… right? It was really pointless. Just like you said, they're right back where they were. I know that they had to fill Bran's story with something, but the whole thing was so weird I honestly would rather Bran have less scenes than all that nonsense.

Tom son of Tom Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 :agree: It was so random and sudden I bet a bunch of viewers weren't even paying attention to what she was saying. Exactly. I wonder even if show viewers realize the gravity of her actions she had just confessed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnysd Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 All in all, the show is straying further and further from the books. This might be a good thing though, since the show will likely catch up to GRRM before he finishes the series, maybe its for the best if it has its own, unique, completely different ending. So, instead of nitpicking in the future, I'm going to try to enjoy the show more for being its own unique breed. Actually I thought this episode got them right back in line to hit all the major plotpoints. It is less off the rails than last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it's a show-canon thing because they took Gendry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Green Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Umm there were swords pretty much lying around the room. And by the time he stooped to pick one up, he would be dead. Edited May 5, 2014 by Colonel Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesterX Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Total character deviation for Cersei. NO WAY would she ever confess her displeasure with Joffrey to anyone outside of the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obebb Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Exactly. I wonder even if show viewers realize the gravity of her actions she had just confessed to. Yeah. It was so "la la la oh yeah I killed my husband btw just gonna say that out loud to you Petyr for no reason yeah whatever who cares!"

wvfaerywoman Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 .Just a thought about why Arya added Beric and Thoros to her list...selling Gendry out to the red woman. Show!Arya lumps all three of them together as probably responsible for something nasty happening to Gendry. If she was all hot to avenge Lommy, it makes sense she'd want to avenge Gendry. She didn't have this reason in the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When Harry met Sansa Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I feel his, "Oh *****" face when she opened the door with the Septon ready to marry, made up for that. Haha it was on par for sure. But one can never get enough of Aidan Gillen derp-face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natalie Underfoot Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Yeah. It was so "la la la oh yeah I killed my husband btw just gonna say that out loud to you Petyr for no reason yeah whatever who cares!" It does when combined with the fact that although she was acting nice she totally felt threatened by Sansa. That was her reminder to him, also why she had the Septon there. She is crazy but she gets her shit locked down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesterX Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Does anyone agree that the show seems to be trying hard NOT to catch up with the books? Which would explain all of the recent deviations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florina Laufeyson Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Total character deviation for Cersei. NO WAY would she ever confess her displeasure with Joffrey to anyone outside of the family. Uhhh she was obviously fishing Marg to find out if she had any idea of the murder. It was so obvious Cersei was fishing, it was like "hurrr". Not exactly out of character for her.

NO WAY would she ever confess her displeasure with Joffrey to anyone outside of the family. \it's not their fault, TV viewers don't get to read characters minds so dialogues are the only way to show what characters are thinking.

Colonel Green Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Does anyone agree that the show seems to be trying hard NOT to catch up with the books? Which would explain all of the recent deviations? Not really. They've just structured the show around key stopping points for each plot in a given season, which for some means coming up with additional material.
