IheartTesla Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I liked Renly's barber, I hope he sticks around for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman of the North Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 That wasn't Renly's barber, it was his gardener, he just went a few steps beyond his obligations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Bear Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I read through some of the discussion in thread 2 of episode 5. Someone mentioned how the fight scene between Ned and Jaime wouldn't have been exciting if they went by the book with the horse falling. I agree except for one thing. The fight was underway between Jaime and Ned . I don't believe a trained knight/ guardsman would interfere in someone elses challenge. That kind of made me a bit disappointed. Love the series though. Wanted to post earlier, but needed to read the book more, because although book spoilers are clearly pointed out. I accidentally ran into one. That's ok. my fault. I just wanted to see if anyone else brought up the interference part. I thought it was kind of a fight rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't the done thing, it isn't cool, and that is underscored in the series, in two ways: 1) the such-a-look that Jaime gives the guard when it happens, and 2) the fact that none of the other guards dared. I think this is one of those flukes. Jaime doesn't know all the guys in his company, some of them are loony and some are just kind of high-spirited and dumb. I think the verisimilitude accentuates your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fight had to end somehow. I just thought that way was lame, no pun intended. At the time, I was thinking, c'mon that just wouldn't happen. Over it now. Finished the first book...so awesome! loved it. can't wait to see how it all plays out on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
