Kaiser Stormslayer Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I personally could care less about the closing song. No biggie, the show is what matters.Wouldn't expect a bastard to appreciate the finer points ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dove Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Oh my god. I can't stop laughing at the hand and sudden jump cut to credits with that music playing. So casually brutal and gruesome, it's perfect. Jaime, you poor bastard. No good deed and all that.

It's the dissonance that makes it work. it's used all the time in independent cinema Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 2nd easiest 10 I've ever given to an Episode. This was GREAT!! Was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic 8 Ball Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 YES. It's the dissonance that makes it work. it's used all the time in independent cinemaSo maybe we'll be getting some Burt Bacharach with the credits after episode 9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stannis the Wight Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Good episode. I wasn't as excited as I normally get for my Sunday ritual but it was still great..... I'm gonna go watch it again Edited April 15, 2013 by Head of The Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targaryen Tempest Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Something like that didn't have a precedent in the show so it was too random for me. The whole episode was amazing but I didn't like those last few seconds. Thought something went wrong with the t.v. and was trying to hear what they were saying.I like what they are doing with the bastard.The chair scene and Pod was pretty funny.I love how much the show makes me not like Stannis whereas in the book I loved him. Wonder if maybe Davos point-of-view influenced me since Davos loves him or if the show writers just don't like him.

jobmartell Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hated the stannis/mel scene. Theon/bastard scenes were great." Rhaegar fought valiantly, rhaegar fought nobly, rhaegar fought bravely. And rhaegar died." Television gold my friends. Glad it made its way in, although abbreviated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wandering Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 10 absolutely. Got loads in and it was all excellent to fucking amazing. Only thing I didn't like was the closing credits, that music just doesn't belong and it kind if sucked me out of the moment there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Redjed Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) I particularly enjoyed the humor shown in this episode, it is an often overlooked quality found in the ASOFAI series.I mean really who doesn't like a dead bard now and then?I now also bear the guilt and shame, that the plot deviations worked in this episode.Long live the Hold Steady!

J. Stargaryen Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Bit of an overreaction to a credits song that, at best, is deliberate soundtrack dissonance done for dramatic effect, and at worst, is just an anachronistic reference gag.Completely agree.I've seen that user complaining about the song in a few posts now. Get over it, Cas. You didn't like it. We get it. You not liking something =/= any sort of red flag.I respect everyone's right to complain about something once, or even follow up to a reply. But five posts on you're just nagging.---Btw, loved the episode. Gave it a 10. Edited April 15, 2013 by J. Stargaryen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobmartell Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 And is the comnent tyrion makes to LF about bastards in regard to the killing of roberts or an inside statement about him.....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonsHungry Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 The Blackfish funeral scene, Dany/Jorah/Selmy and the Rhaegar reference, Theon, and Jaime's hand, nice episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrick Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I can't get over how bad that ending credit song was. That was easily the most confusing and dumbest fucking decision ever. It completely ruined the last scene for me. That kind of dumb shit takes away from the realism and grittiness of a great TV show and makes it seem like a joke lol.

Ser Graymax Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Another 7 from me with maybe a +. Too much like the last 2 episodes in timing and editing.Don't like how they are deviating from the books but I understand. Still a lot to like.The Bear sounded to me like they would sing it at a pub after a few rounds so it worked for for me but I have to go back and listen again.Don't know how well non readers can follow this season.

Warrick Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I love this show because I feel immersed into westeros. Those ending credits instantly warped me back into my house and took away any emotion that I felt from the last scene. How people thought that was a good idea is mind boggling haha, jesus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tito5601 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 a 9 because a 10 is reserved for episodes like blackwater for me i must say i even enjoyed the podrick scene even if it was a bit of a waste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
