Pinkie Baelish Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Any sign of... Theon or Bolton's Bastard? OP, have you read the books? If not, I'll try to keep my posts spoiler-free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raistlan Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Can you describe what...Astapor looked like?The credits clockwork-Astapor had a big Harpy statue and long moving parallel "fences" that looked kind of like a strand of barbed wire between two posts. Not sure what they represent yet, but they stood out to me. The show Astapor opened with a shot of the giant golden Harpy statue, which was pretty impressive.

Raistlan Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 There's at least one hilarious quip seemingly directed to book readers:Cersai says something to Tyrion like, "Some men even said that half your nose was gone, but I knew they exaggerated."

Thanks for that! :)I guess I was hoping for pyramids. So the question is, did clockwork-Astapor look more impressive than clockwork-Qarth? IMO Clockwork-Qarth is easily the worst map location of them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebevan91 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Do we meet Selyse/Shireen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tommen Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I heard Elio say on Twitter when asked about Selyse/Shireen that through 4 episodes (which is all the critics have been provided at this point), there has been no sign of Selyse or Shireen. Davos is told by Saladhar Saan when he's rescued that Stannis only sees Melisandre and that he doesn't even let his own wife visit him. And that's the only mention of either of them so far...

Newstar Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Wasn't there a shot of what looked like Shireen glomping Stannis in one of the trailers, though? Maybe it's from later in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newstar Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I heard Elio say on Twitter when asked about Selyse/Shireen that through 4 episodesYeah, that Twitter has a few interesting (if very general) comments about the first four episodes (still potentially spoilery, so I'll put them under a cut):Sounds like the end of the 4th episode is Dracarys in Astapor, but most of us had probably guessed that already. Also some praise for Noah Taylor (Locke), and for Jaime/Brienne's storyline in general. I remember Christie praised Taylor as well, so it should be quite good. There's a reference to "inane filler": the Twitter doesn't specifically reference it, but Bronn's scene in Episode 1 where he complains about not being paid enough sounds like it could qualify. Also praise for Paul Kaye as Thoros, described as kind of a mashup in the show of Thoros and Tom O'Sevens' characters in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin1989 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 That's...worrying. On the cutting room floor?Why worrying? We have 10 episodes. I don't see them in more than 3 episodes. so probably we seen them around episode 6 or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elio also made special note of the Dracarys buildup and climax at the end of E4, comparing it to the Birth of the Dragons at the end of S1. He even pointed out that Linda agreed with him that it was thrilling (which has to be impressive since she more or less hates anything about the show) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
