Mya Stone Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Probably the most I've laughed at a GoT episode since uh...forever. Stannis's deadpan delivery about liking dogs...but we ate them anyway. Amazing. Everything with Varys and Tyrion? Gold. I was straight up laughing out loud. Jamie's dissing on Brienne? Stellar. NCW has great comedic timing. I thought it was a nice bridge/ set up episode. And I appreciate that they addressed Arya's wish to kill Tywin with the fact that he left too quickly and Jaqen had guard duty.

Kairi Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 No weasel soup but Jeyne and Robb making out. This is the first episode I have not been too impressed with. But still I got some Jaime and Brienne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mya Stone Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Oh, I also really loved Yara/Asha and Theon's interaction, especially given how we last encounter them in the books. Thought it was a great setup. A Ghost in Winterfell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrosir Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) I must say, after pining for an episode all week long, I feel so let down. Calm before the storm? More like put into a coma.And Talisa is staying as Talisa with even more stories of Volantis. Who the hell knows who this broad is.

Tarandor Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 And no weasel soup wtf This makes me sad... :( I guess since there was never a weasel they decided to axe the whole thing. SIGH. corvus12 and lostinwesteros 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Godric Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Quick thoughts from the episode:- Yara was great. That was her moment to shine.- I still don't understand why they kept the Crag and the Westerlings but made Robb fall for a completely different character. I don't hate it, I just don't get what they gain from it. - Jaime and Brienne are going to be go much fun to watch spar.- Glad to see that Qhorin was with the Windlings so Jon's ending won't be changed.Overall, a great setup episode for what should be the best episode yet. timstanton, lostinwesteros, Nymeria_Snow and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Godric Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Oh, actually I have more:- I definitely laughed a lot too. And that usually revolved around Varys he killed it tonight.- I knew Roz was going to be the whore that Cersei captured, and I was so happy to hear the "ashes in your mouth" comment.- I hope we haven't seen the last of Jaqen because we need to get the coin and see him change faces.

moonsblood Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 So I guess Jaqen is gonna meet her on the road to give her the coin and the info about valor morghulis?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Hippie Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Pluses:Asha/Yara was good this week, really good I thinkJaime/Brienne have good chemistryI was pleased to see even more of Oona Chaplin :drool:Tyrion/Varys is always goodJoffrey and Stannis were good for laughsAstapor name dropNegatives:Weasel soup is a fun scene so I'm a bit disappointed it's apparently outTalisa/Jeyne's backstory was boringly cliche Edited May 21, 2012 by Ser Hippie corvus12 and A Ghost in Winterfell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairi Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yes the Asha/Theon scenes were great. I also liked when he wanted to send the gold for the farmer. That was so twisted. Kill the children, burn them and then send gold for your troubles. Oh Theon. Fantôme, SummerChilde and Longspear Ryk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arya horsefaceless Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Not a great episode...but it was more of a set up episode anyway. The Stannis/Davos scene was great...really hated the Rob/Talisa scene. That was dreadful. The Bastard of Summer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think they are setting Jeyne up to betray Robb, why else would she continue this charade? laceystew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Istari Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Okay, they really need to set it straight:is she Talisa? Or is she Jeyne Westerling Either way, I'm not feeling it. The romance between Robb and 'that chick' is just....pointless. Nymeria_Snow, A Ghost in Winterfell, Lady of Long Lake and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickon is FIERCE Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Jaime/Brienne....got so amped when that scene started!!ARYA WALKING OUT OF HARRENHAL WTF???? No weasel soup?? No COIN???Talisa really who she says she is??? I kept hoping she'd turn out to be a lying, spying Jeyne Westerling...and they're sleeping together WITHOUT Robb having first heard of his brothers' deaths??? The WORST part of this episode.Love Stannis, love Tyrion, though why "Ros" should stick her neck out for him, other than, I guess if she feels it will save her own skin, is beyond me, esp. after what she went through with Joff thanks to Tyrion...SHOWING BRAN AND RICKON IN THE CRYPTS ALREADY?? WTF?? GOTgirl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill the children, burn them and then send gold for your troubles. Oh Theon. Well, they're doing a good job of using Dagmar instead of Reek. Theon is rather naive, he thought the farmer would be alive instead of "fertilizing the fields." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
