Aemon Stark Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 And I quote:"The arakh cut was wide but shallow; his left nipple was gone, and a flap of bloody flesh and skin dangled from his chest like a wet rag."That's definitely a far cry from how it looked like in the show :PTrue... but it was still a long, deep, full thickness wound into subcutaneous tissue and (probably) muscle made by a dirty blade. Wouldn't take much for that to become infected...Anyway, great episode, no qualms or complaints whatsoever. Reading some of these posts here, however, is reminding me a little too much of the kind of nitpicking and anal attention to minute details that is characteristic of Trekkies...

Boots Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I loved the episode. I believe they did great justice to Syrio's scene and overall it's just quite excellent. Even the Septa had a good scene. I do hope in the future episodes, and ACOK, we have more Hound scenes. Hopefully that'll be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmy Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Favorite episode of the season so far. I did not know GRRM wrote it but fitting then I guess.Voted 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Black_Fish Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 NO BLACKFISH????? Isn't he supposted to be one of the greatests generals in westeros? Wasn't he the one who urged rob to go with the strategy to release Riverrun? How did rob all the sudden know the perfect strategies? They going to make Rob a super awesome war general and then have him make a terrible strategic blunder....makes no sense. They need to bring in the blackfish. Besides who will command his outriders and "promise they do not know you are coming"?I voted 8 just because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides who will command his outriders and "promise they do not know you are coming"?I voted 8 just because of that.No, the Blackfish has nothing to do with that strategy. In the book the Greatjon wants Robb to attack Tywin while the Glovers and Karstarks urges him to join with Edmure against Jaime. It's then Robb himself that comes up with it in the book while he's talking to his mother alone. So your opinion about it not making any sense therefor applies to the book as well.

Cat's Brother (that means they have to rewrite him)? What will happen to "A blackfish, on the blackriver, on a black night?" That will change the Winds of Winter forever.

Asha—Not Yara! Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 My hunch is with Sean Bean and Momoa gone next season, they wanted to wait on casting Roose since his presence really isn't required for season 1 and that will free up some of their casting budget to land a great actor him.

Relic Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) I rated this episode higher than i have any other this season, but i still wasn't in love with it. Nice to see Ghost and a flash of Greywind tho. Edited June 9, 2011 by Relic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ranger Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Don't think i would give it a perfect 10 the upcoming episodes have the potential to better it a high 9/10 for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelly Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I loved this episode! It was really exciting in the beginning with everything going on in KL. Syrio and Arya's "not today" scene was great and I teared a little when she left him. Septa Mordane was also incredibly brave walking to face what she knows was going to be her death. :frown5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
