Darth Pipes Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The Varys "Y'know what? Fuck it, I'm gonna get on this boat too" look. Ha! That was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boggsy Cyvasse Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I loved, surprisingly, Cersei telling Tywin once-and-for-all, that she and Jaime were lovers. The pained look on Charles Dance's face actually betrayed a little bit of hurt at finally recognizing the truth. Although I do wonder how it'll effect things going forward, I am certainly happy that we'll get some more interaction between Varys and Tyrion in seasons to come.

WinterisAlwaysComing Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I love that it wasn't True Blood.Seriously - the Tyrion scenes were all BEAUTIFUL. Haunting and tragic. They alone made the episode - the music - very subtle and haunting rendition of "Rains of Castermere" ...not to mention the Wall events, the Hound/Brienne fight, and the Dany moments.

go joff go Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Also like that everything is still on line to go where they are going in the book. For all the deviation talk, there hasn't been as many changes as I expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-26dp Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I never thought we'd see an honest-to-gawd cavalry charge, given everyone on the show's antipathy towards horses. Fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Sansa's Direwolf Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Loved Jon and Mance. You have the feeling if Stannis hadn't interrupted, they would have opened the gate and let the wildlings through before the WW appear and bring winter down on everyone. Loved that Stannis listened to someone other than Mel for a change. Maybe he should be the king, if Tommen doesn't make it through the next two books. Love Jon handling Ygritte's pyre himself. The pain of first love, lost love; we've all experienced it. Love Dany learning you cannot teach an old dog new tricks just because you want them to learn one. Love Arya leaving the Hound behind and denying him the gift. She learned the worst way to hurt him was to leave. The look on her face as she heads to Braavos is almost as happy as when she is killing people. Loved that they extended the length to cover a lot of ground and still didn't get in everything we the viewers wanted. It shows how rich the source material is to work from. Perhaps GRRM was right and this is the time to move to the big screen and bigger budgets. Wonder if Peter Jackson has his next project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Snow Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Actually watching Dany have to tie up the dragons was very emotional, but I don't remember it feeling that heavy when I read it. Well done to the show! Jojen dying and Brienne meeting and owning the Hound... good stuff. I've loved most, if not all, of the changes they made in this season of the show.

Mistress of Lemon Cakes Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 + Loved everything at the Wall. Loved it. Especially the shots of Stannis's army in formation and that beautiful shot showing them flanking the wildling army from above.+ Loved that Stannis and Davos arrived side by side. I think I'm officially a StanStan now, gotta just admit it already.+ Really liked the look shared between Jon and Mel.+ I really liked the dragon chaining scene. I got a little teary eyed.+ Meera being a BAMF.+ Arya refusing to give Sandor the gift of Mercy. I was getting a little paranoid as the scene went on that it wouldn't happen. And Sandor's confession about both Mycah and Sansa. That was probably my favorite scene of the entire ep. Rory did such a fantastic job, I was truly floored.+ Varys getting on the boat with Tyrion. Not sure where they are going with this, but I love the character of Varys so much that if they decide to send him along with Tyrion at least part of the way on his journey, I'll be happy with it.+ "You'll never walk again ... but you'll fly."+ Arya's send off was awesome. I'm trying not to let my disappointment for no LS overshadow it, which it still kind of does ... but still. It was really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reek Havoc Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Charles Dance. The look on Dany's face when she realized that everything that she had done was not 100% awesome for everyone involved (first visitor. Hard to explain w/out spoilers. lol) Brienne / Hound Final scene track. Holy crap, that was beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallam Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Everything except for the Arya-Brienne-Sandor dynamic. I thought that was a big improvement on the books. So far Brienne has wandered round aimlessly. Having Brienne meet the hound (or at least mortally wound him) makes a lot better use of her. Shortening the Bran death march was also a big improvement on the books. The main problem I had was that everything ended up being rushed and no Lady Stoneheart.

Empress In The North Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I did love all of Cersei's scenes. Stannis wasn't bad. Brienne and Sandor. Loved seeing the interaction between Arya and Brienne, considering their circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Brienne meeting and owning the Hound... good stuff.She definitely didn't own the Hound. That was a nasty back and forth type of fight. At one point he's kicking her while she's laying on the ground. It's probably the best fight the show has done tbh.My favorite part was the post fight scene with him and Arya. Rory has been absolutely killing it this season, and Maisie's acting with just the look on her face was brilliant. She's such a talented young actress. The shot of the weirwood tree looked gorgeous. Emilia was really good in her scene with her dragons. You could feel her heart breaking. Jon and Mance toasting to Grenn and Mag.Stannis' calvary looked pretty badass.Leaf looked pretty cool.Loved seeing Bloodraven, even if they should've made him look older...oh well. These are just a few things of the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asshai by the Shadow Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I think my favourite part of the episode was Brienne vs Hound. That whole scene was amazing IMO, I know some people really disagree but i for one loved it.

Emperoreddy Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Small one, but the fact that a dragon was FINALLY named on screen. Dany called Drogon DROGON!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterCloak Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Everything from "you can sh!t later" to "kill me!" was friggin' awesome. Protective and badass, gawd I love the Hound! Loved the kick for a kick, hehe. Viserion and Rhaegal's final moments of the season broke my heart. Varys and his 'screw this' look. Stannis doing something for the good of the realm...and I guess the rumour of JojenPaste is put to rest ;) A bit disappointed not to see LS but other than that, I can't complain.
