NedFlanderStark Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Awesome! Poor Theon :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Loved the Reeds, Theon, Jamie, Arya and Sansa scene with the Queen of Thorns herself. Really enjoy Joffrey the little shit. Cat scene was ok and couldn't stand Tyrions whore scene. This season is going to be amazing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Martell Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 NO, the Cat scene, NO! I have spent plenty of time on these boards bashing Cat but her lamenting over Jon Snow was terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lany Freelove Cassandra Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hated the Cat scene and that Osha is not going with Ricken. Poor baby being sent off to be raised by wolves.Other than that I loved it. :)8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Godric Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 A really great episode, I thought. It didnt have as many great character scenes as last week but had great action scenes that didnt make it feel as slow as last week. Again, there was very little I could find I didn't like: 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallion That Mounts Texas Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 So many changes. I gave it a 6. 1. I like being able to see the breaking of Theon from the start. He has no idea he being set up by Ramsay2. I like how Marg is manipulating Joff and I loved the Queen of Thornes. I missed Butterbumps3. The fight between Brienne and Jaime was awfulI know the first four episodes are setup but this one was kind of ordinary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Godric Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I knew people would hate the Jon Snow scene, but I don't see why exactly. It didnt change Catelyn, it reinforced that she could never love Jon no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Pipes Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I thought it was good. I liked Jaime and Brienne's scenes a lot. The duel was good although I really wish it had ended the way it did in the book, with them fighting in the river. The Reeds made a good first impression and Rigg was terrific as Olenna. Joffrey is one disturbed piece of **** who just can't function like a normal human being...Jack Gleason does a great job with him and I like how Maegarey manipulated him. Thoros was not how I expected him to look but the character was quite entertaining. I'm not trusting Talisa...something seems off. The Cat scene didn't bother me. Believing that her treatment of Jon is the reason she's having all her problems, I don't agree with. But the scenario she laid out I can buy. Oh, Dolorus Edd...love that scene.

scurvy Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Way too much made up stuff when they have too much material to adapt that they're ignoring. Hated the episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hound Dog Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Good episode. The Cat scene was absolutely brutal and unnecessary. Tyrion and Shae I could've done without too.... I wish Osha would take Rickon away... otherwise what's Davos going to do later when he leaves White Harbor? Loved how angry the Hound looked... can't wait for what comes next for him!

Zman1863 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Liked it quite a bit. However, I had a problem with two scenes. Hated the scene with Catelyn talking about Jon Snow. I'm not a huge fan in the books but I can't see what the point of inventing all this maudlin sentimentality. They do seem to pile the blame for the travails of the Starks on her and now they have her screen version admitting guilt because of a failing the book character would never have acknowledged. The scene with Tyrion and Shae didn't work for me either. A rare instance when a Tyrion scene fell flat for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAndFullOfTurnips Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Thoros = awesome. Also Jaime's joke about cocks on the iron throne had me lol'ing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ServantOnIce Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 10, up there with Blackwater and better than any episode other than Blackwater last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bride of Winter Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 the best episode I've seen in a long time. possibly since season 1 IMO. would have been a 10, I'm giving it a 9 because of weird timing - some scenes were too drawn out where others were cut too short (the scenes with the Reeds seemed a bit awkwardly short considering it was their time to be introduced, and I'm also a little peeved they cut the discussion of marrying Willas from the Sansa/Marg/Olenna scene) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FromTheShadows Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Loved the scene where the Hound spotted AryaHated the scene where the guy wanted to leave Sam behindThought there should've been more scenes of Jon Snow and the WildingsOverall: 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 It didnt change CatelynYou may have missed the part where she indicates that only a mother can make one of those figures for their child.She explicitly believes that she ought to be a mother to Jon. This makes everything much worse. In the novel, in the society she lives in, there is absolutely no social obligation on her in regards to Jon, nor is there understood to be a moral obligation. Ned is the one who is acting against the norms, who is inflicting this situation on everyone.So, yeah, it's a significant change.Moreover, you literally have her taking the view that maybe this is all her fault. Those who are inclined to believe that, either through latent misgoyny, a lack of empathy, or a preference for simplistic narratives, are just going to latch onto it. That's not what I think the writers expected, but it's what they're going to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) I gave it a 7, The Sansa/Queen of Thorns scene was awesome. I really enjoyed the Bran/Reeds and Jaime/Brienne scenes as well. Nothing else really stood out to me. The Catelyn scene was hard to watch, I just started petting my dog. Oh, Thoros was pretty good i guess, But i felt the Arya scenes were just okay.edit: forgot about the Theon scenes, I thought they were really well done. Think i might change my score to a 8.

Magic 8 Ball Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 They are "nicing up" Cat to make people feel worse later this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
