teemo Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I will not be around when the show airs live, but I thought I'd start this thread anyway! The point of this thread is a place for people to vent about the show with no nitpick being too big or too small, and to not harass others for their opinions.

chimere Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Not enough Arya!Oh, and Ygritte annoys me. She annoyed me in the book too but at least I didn't have to hear her annoying accent :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ravenstone Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Slow, but I liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckongo Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I'll make it easy. I tried to keep count of scenes that had some basis from the books. I got 3.1)Daenerys' parley2)Jaime talking with Qyburn3)Jaime and the bearpit...So yeah, "nitpick" is an understatement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayn Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Really didn't like a lot in this episode...Theon, Osha, Blackfish. Feels like they reverted to the season 1 and 2 type of episodes, jumping around to all the characters instead of keeping to half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Pounce FTW Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 - Loved the bear!- Hated Ygritte. Is it me or is she more grating on screen than on the pages? I don't remember all the put downs.- Interesting twist with Marg/Sansa. Marg admits to knowing a great deal about "the marital bed" while Sansa is being cued that things are not so bad.- Overall a slow episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic 8 Ball Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Dragons didn't cook their meat before eating it.Didn't like the change to "The Lannisters send their regards", rather than Jamie specifically, due to softening up the unintended consequences.Can we all agree that Talisa/Jeyne is a spy now? Don't like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Ygritte was always like that with Jon. In the corresponding chapter she calls the northmen cowards for having given up the land and so on.I was disappointed with the bear scene -- too obviously a trained bear. But I'll nitpick a peeve of mine in particular: even GRRM can't seem to write a Catelyn scene where she isn't constantly being interrupted and/or ignored. This makes me sad. He inherits what they give him to work with, but I had hoped he'd be able to make something more substantial.And now to hurry through a full review.

Lady Arwen Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Not enough Cat. By now, I think Unsullied viewers have forgotten who she is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate it on the quality rather than how much it takes from the book. Nitpicks for me::- SHAE. We've had THREE seasons of her, and she's still the same old, plain, boring, moany, self-righteous, god-awful irritating character. Honestly, EVERY scene with Tyrion is the EXACT same. Can she just fuck off already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sxxman Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Shae being Shae....seriously what does Tyrion see in her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ravenstone Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Shae's hot and is probably good in the sack.I hope Roose says Jaime Lannister instead of the Lannister send their regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastard Walder Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Dragons didn't cook their meat before eating it.I think the meat was already cooked.My nitpicks:Margaery calls Tyrion attractive? What?And why is everyone from High Garden so progressive?I don't think we saw Oona Chaplin's tits.The Lannisters send their regards? WHAT THE FUCKBearpit sceneOther stuff annoyed me but I don't rememberPostives (since no one reads the other thread):It looks like they're setting up Shae v. TyrionSansa is becoming somewhat less naiveQueenscrownOsha's storyBear was greatDany scene was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdsong65 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 even GRRM can't seem to write a Catelyn scene where she isn't constantly being interrupted and/or ignored. This makes me sad. He inherits what they give him to work with, but I had hoped he'd be able to make something more substantial. :agree: just bring the RW, already. If there was a facial equivalent to "never mind her, she's old, and hormonal" that scene about covers it, from everyone in it. Props to Fairley for making the most of a "shit" scene.

Er Rn Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Not a nitpick as its a pretty big but Marg listing all the qualities that make Tyrion such a Good Guy :ack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Arwen Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I don't mind Tyrion giving Shae this chain thing, but why couldn't they have kept the symbol of the Hand's office as a chain of hands and eliminated this silly gift-giving business? It just seems silly to replace a chain with a badge when the chain itself plays a significant role in...well, you know. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summerfell Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Was anyone else bothered by Orell, The Love Struck Wildling? It's very possible that I'm missing something, but the idea of a Orell/Ygritte/Jon love triangle... :ack:Also for some reason the accent of the Wise Master dude seemed really strange to me. I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
