Mark Antony Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 I liked it because Stannis doesn't need a long ass motivational speech to rally the troops, It's fucking Stannis "Come with me and take this city" "My lord, Hundreds will die""Thousands" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areacode201 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Am I the only one who found this pretty bad?I liked the contrast with Tyrion's 'let's go kill them' line. Both of them are good leaders but at the same time not 100% confident. Tyrion has never been in this kind of position before so he needs to prove himself. Stannis is used to command, but he's not good at inspiring people. He could never give a rousing speech like Tyrion or Theon at Winterfell did. All Stannis is able to muster is, "come with me and take this city" ... very bland yet very 'Stannis.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lord's Kiss Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Theon executing Ser Rodrik.. gut-wrenching and heart-breaking. The entire opening was a masterpiece but the look on his face after he did it was haunting.. "Gods help you Theon Greyjoy, now you are truly lost." And now he can never go back. The writers added some great dialogue, I have to give them that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodGuyA Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Theon executing Ser Rodrik.. gut-wrenching and heart-breaking. You would have really thought it would be so dispassionate, given the other executions we've all ready seen on screen. This was the real moment for me that showed that Alfie Allen can act his face off when given the position, as even with the brutality there's such a range of subtlety to it that transcends the meaning of the action at hand.Aside from Blackwater's end fighting (pure cinema, right there), I think I have to go with Maester Luwin's death. It is literally the only time in the show where I felt really strongly about the situation at hand. Not saying that they haven't been dealing with heavy emotions before, but that damned scene actually made me well up a bit. It's just the fact that you see completely confused Rickon juxtaposed with the growing Bran, having to face this... And then him saying "I'll be right here"... ARGH! MUST FIGHT BACK THE TEARS!

It's a different moment with a different feel, but it's a very strong moment for Robb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a different moment with a different feel, but it's a very strong moment for Robb.I wonder that too. We haven't really seen that much of Madden's acting chops in full play, but that's not to say he couldn't pull it off. I think the success of the RW more depends on Catelyn's performance than Robb's though, and judging from what we've seen so far, there is no doubt in my mind that Fairley will do a wonderful job.

rumple9 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I love any scene with Jorah Mormont - Iain Glennister does such a fantastic job and he's so cool.I love the scene where Dany says to Jorah "I think you should wear your armour tonight, Ser" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Robb and Jon, it was a moment where they killed the boys and let the men be born. For Theon, it was something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon's is clearly a "good" moment, where you're supposed to go "Fuck yeah! Jon rocks!", but that isn't really the case with Robb, the execution isn't really a fantastical moment for him.

It was more of that for Robb than for Jon, since he didn't really hate Karstark. I didn't say it was fantastical. They're all extremely strong moments.

StannisisaBAMF Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I'd say the Stannis Renly Melisandra Cat meeting.Coulda been a little better, but it was great, scene really shows the dynamics between the baratheon bros.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVjZMFQswNo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Giver Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 There are so many good ones, but I think my favorite is the part where Arya gets caught by Ser Armory and she asks Jaaqen to kill him. When Armory walks into the room to tell Tywin and then falls over dead. I laugh every single time, no matter how many times I've seen it. lol.

The Giver Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 "ONE OF YOU SMELLS LIKE BLACKBERRY JAM!" (another season 1 blink and you miss it moment.)What scene was that in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the infamous Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Season 1 randomIntroduction of Tywin. One of the best character introductions i have ever seen.Ned VS Jaime outside the brothel. Great swordfight best in the series so far.Robert paying his respects to Lyanna's grave. "In my dreams i kill him every night."Ned and Jon saying goodbye. Sean Bean's acting in that scene was amazing.Syrio and Arya meet. Ned standing in the door and watching. Nuff Said.Season 2Dragonstone episode 1. Great character introductions there.Tyrion and Janos Slynt. A very rewarding scene.Tyrion and Bronn every scene. "No cure for being a cunt". Preparing the battle etc. Laughed my ass of.Stannis in Blackwater. First one in, last one out. :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fixit Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Hmm, let's see...Arya's and Syrio's first swordplay. Beautiful.Ned's beheading, of course.

AdrianAegon Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Tyrion and Varys' s scene with the riddle! The Best! ...also any other scene between the two. Dinklage and Conleth Hill are 2 of the best actors in the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
