Arya Gendry Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 So, what did I miss by sleeping? :D Was Stannis scene good? I see he looks gorgeous on tumblr caps ^^ Stannis + Davos was a WOW moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arryn Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Oh, another small touch I thought really nice was the cut to Barristan during the anachronism speech, and his minor but interesting reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summerfell Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Jason and the Argonauts for me XD I still liked it, though. Meera killing Jojen was pretty heartbreaking. The whole thing felt a bit silly at first because I was reminded of the Pirates skeleton fight scenes and whatnot, but when Jojen got stabbed I sobered up real quick.

sj4iy Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 More practical than a bunch of 2 feet tall CGI furries. This. I mean, she made it pretty clear that she wasn't actually a child by saying that they were much older than the first men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Creighton Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Dunno if anyone else felt this, but when the skeletons started popping up I got a definite Pirates of the Caribbean vibe. They seemed to move faster than regular wights.Actually I got an original clash of the titans feel, but yeah you could go with pirates. They sure didn't give off the cold vibe the whites do. Plenty of bones though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faint Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Anything I miss? Benioff and Weiss are shit writers. That theory has been confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrek Sand Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Well, it was nice that we actually got Stannis talking with Mance, because those two are just amazing actors. Both stood their ground perfectly. Jon saving Mance was a nice touch. Oh look it's Thomas Jefferson talking to Ceasar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teej6 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Someone on the General GOT board asked for potential confirmation or rebuttal of theories from 4x10, and here's what I posted: 1. The Hound's clearly still alive in the books and clearly has a role to play in post-ADWD books, as we suspected. 4x10 would have been the perfect place to kill him off onscreen if the Hound's role was done in the books, or even if the Hound's only remaining part was the "Easter egg" of the Hound being suggested to be the gravedigger on the Quiet Isle, and D&D did not do so. The Hound is very much alive when Arya abandons him, suggesting that he is coming back into the main storyline down the line.2. Jojenpaste is unlikely to be a thing, since Jojen's corpse was destroyed in the show. It's not surprising that Jojen died, since Book Jojen is pretty obviously doomed.3. Tysha being omitted is a big deal...although remember that back in Season 1, TV Shae pointed out that no woman who'd almost been raped would immediately hop into bed with someone. In retrospect, it seems like TV Tysha was always supposed to be a whore. In terms of what this means for the books, it suggests that Book Tysha is not going to factor meaningfully in Book Tyrion's endgame, and Book Tyrion's search for Tysha will be fruitless.4. No Tyrion/Jaime estrangement in the show. It was suggested hat maybe D&D know that Tyrion and Jaime will never meet again in the books, and so wanted to end their relationship on a good note, since in the books most of their struggle with what the other said to hurt them is internal.4. Tormund telling Jon "You can never be a kneeler again." Jon = king foreshadowing, maybe? (Can't remember who pointed that out.) Anything I miss?I think you covered it all. And Jon will never be a kneeler again def foreshadowing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of bones though. Admittedly, I liked it. I thought it was nice to finally see some dead people that didn't have flesh on them reanimated.

Zombies That Were Promised Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 They will have to address it. It is exploding on twitter right now. I don't use Twitter, so that's good to know. We have speculated on LS for two years now appearing in the finale, and we're about to go three years this offseason.. I'd just like confirmation once and for all, cause I want to move on.

Tall Tyrion Lannister! Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I was thinking SKYRIM when the Skels started popping up. I was thinking: "It's the damn Draugr!!! Where's the Dragonborn when you need him!! Dovahkiin!!!" lol me too. Can someone refresh me on how Leaf meets up with Bran and co int he books. I don't remember her throwing fire grenades like in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk blitzen Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Benioff and Weiss are not stenographers. They are working professionals that are highly respected in the industry. Do you really expect them to copy and paste material, word for word? They are D&D, they are not cntrl+C.Some complaints are valid opinions, but seriously guys... Demanding specific lines and specific characters at certain specific points in the episode is ridiculous. And so is saying it affects character development. Whether tyrion says the tysha line or not, it does not affect character development if Tyrion still changes (development) without the line. He changed. End of story.Stop confounding your thwarted expectations with a story being well told.It was a good episode tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Abstract Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I think if anything it makes Jojen paste seem more a possibility, although it makes it's importance to the plot less likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Green Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 it suggests that Book Tysha is not going to factor meaningfully in Book Tyrion's endgame, and Book Tyrion's search for Tysha will be fruitless. Book Tyrion isn't really looking for Tysha at all, is he? He's just moping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep those SanSan fires burning! (...although the line about how he regrets letting the Kingsguard beat her is not included, so there's that, I guess). Anything I miss? Except for point 5, I agree with all and I loved point 4 being a possible foreshadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arryn Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I think if anything it makes Jojen paste seem more a possibility, although it makes it's importance to the plot less likely.That was definitely my reluctant reaction.There is no way they would actually go into the jojenpaste specifics, so the fact that the character was tied off left me thinking 'shit, jojenpaste paste might actually be a thing' and this is the only way the show would address that.

Zman1863 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Oh look it's Thomas Jefferson talking to Ceasar! Lolz. I always liked that he played Jefferson too. I feel about the same about Jefferson as I do about Stannis- deeply divided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
