Lord Elrosir Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Her acquiring a ship was implied after looting Xaros pad last season. Dany made the comment that they could buy a ship, to which Jorah replied "Aye, a small ship". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrosir Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 She bought it with the wealth they plundered from XXD. It's also how she can afford to buy Unsullied.I guarentee that she'll be doing the Drogon bargain for the Unsullied, with "dracarys". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Pudding Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Ran covered it, but here is a book quote anyway:So the phrasing "to win his shield" that the show used isn't really a deviation since the book's have basically the same line, just "spiked cap" in place of "shield"Well, at Season 1 they were differenthttp://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrjlc4IUGg1qaodcn.pnghttp://kissed-by-fire.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/unsullied_illyrio_game_of_thrones.jpgI suppose they were Unsullied (spiked cap). They could have used this kind of design for them, then the phrase could have remained the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scabbard Of the Morning Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Yes, but that's only because her money isn't enough to buy all the Unsullied. Remember she wanted the 8000 they had plus the other 4000 they were still training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerGrandfather7 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Well, at Season 1 they were differenthttp://media.tumblr....IUGg1qaodcn.pnghttp://kissed-by-fir..._of_thrones.jpgI suppose they were Unsullied (spiked cap). They could have used this kind of design for them, then the phrase could have remained the same. Aren't the Unsullied in Pentos (and some other Free Cities) suppose to be more "lazy" than their Slaver's Bay counterparts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khal Porno Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Do you guys still think Shae is going to betray Tyrion? Well the way I understood it was that it was kind of ambiguous, whether or not she really did betray him or was being forced into it by Tywin against her will. From Tyrion's perspective of course, she definitively did.Since it's pretty clear that she actually loves him on the show and she is a "good guy," I don't think she is going to betray him, but he will think she does and kill her. Very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinkie Baelish Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Out of curiosity...here's a few off the top of my head. Some areTormund is much more seriousCiarin Hinds = awesome actor and pretty good at Mance (although not what I pictured), but I miss the bard thing.Sam being saved from the NW crew like thatThe way Stannis was sent to the dungeons was odd, although I see what they're doing to save some time and still get their point across.Tyrion almost groveling to this father, wanting approval. Besides that, that scene was almost word to word from the book. Dance and Dinklage are such amazing actors. Damn.Was Cersei ever really that worried about Tyrion talking to daddy? How different was that conversation in the books?It looks like Bronn is here to stay longer instead of being Cersei's new pet. They kind of got themselves into this by having Tyrion make him a knight last season, so Cersei can't really offer him that, I guess. It gives us more time to see Bronn, which is nice. Because everyone loves Bronn. But isn't Bronn pretty much done with Tyrion at this point?I thought it was random how Robb and Cat and co. showed up at Harrenhal. Loved seeing Qyburn.The whole scene with LF/Sansa/Shae/Ros felt really weird to me. Not a big fan of Sansa/Shae being BFF and Ros moving up in the world.Littlefinger would never in a million years blatantly tell Sansa of all people that he's planning on getting her out of there. He's way too sneaky for that. So was Dontos' appearance last season just a teaser, or what? But like GRRM said, TV LF is nothing like book LF. It also makes me wonder how the whole PW thing is going to go down now.*got the unsullied stuff wrongWas Joffrey ever this blatantly nasty to his mother around family and stuff at dinner? I guess he has to be a little different in the show though since he's older.Slow episode, but really beautiful. Can't wait for episode 4.-If they included the whole puppy killing thing as well as killing babies, it would just seem ridiculous. Nobody is that awful. -I like the rivalry between Cersei and Tyrion. Don;t the books say that Cersei considers herself to be Tywin with teats? It's not a stretch to assume that she would seek Tywin's approval.-Joff did threaten his mother with death in season 2 if she ever slapped him again. I love that he's putting on a big facade to gain Margaery's approval. It's just like the little shit to do so.-It appears that Ros might be the replacement for Ser Dontos. If she's moving up in the world, she could be used to relay LF's words to Sansa-I'm guessing Robb will depart to Riverrun next episode and leave Roose to hold Harrenhal. That sets up Jaime being brought to him later. Roose can regroup with Robb at the Twins in episode 8 or 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There doesn't seem to be much of a reason to mention both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't happen, but the scenes fit into Martin's vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didnt seem too bothered by the westerosi whore commentsYep, its a ruse basically.She knows reacting to the comments won't really help her get the unsullied since he would probably just not bother selling to her at that point. So she is going to get what she wants and then she'll show him whats what....melty-face style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Wasn't Daenerys fluent in high valrian? She didnt seem too bothered by the westerosi whore commentsYes, and she likely is in the show as well. So far the translation bit seems to follow the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castel Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I don't like this change to Jon's motivation or his explanation of it. The one he gave in the books would have taken about three minutes more in an episode already packed but it makes more sense.His explanation makes...no sense. Well, it does if Mance doesn't push him and just eats his explanations, but Mance probably wouldn't do that. Mormont knew about Craster...so Mormont isn't fighting for the living? So the solution is going with the people that'll almost certainly get the Nightswatch, the only thing standing between the world and the Others, killed? And how are the Wildlings fighting for the living? They're running.The explanation given in the books works perfectly. Granted it'd require both more set-up now that Mance isn't a bard and might've been implausible but it seems far less implausible than Mance just buying Jon's shit.Jon is simply fed up with being treated like shit. End of. Any man can understand that. And we get to see his bitterness, which is only really explored in one scene for about two seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyehate Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Why is Ghost with the Nightswatch?Uhm.....ya....Why is ghost not with Jon? And why didn't they talk about Jon's being a warg? I know they talked about that during that scene in the book.Also, I was a bit bummed they cut Mance's trip to Winterfell and the revelation of it to Jon.

I think another 20-30 seconds of dialogue there might have been enough possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
