Tom son of Tom Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I still don't completley grasp why Stannis has such a hard on for Robb to name him first of the 3.I would have thought Tywin would be in there before Baylon Greyjoy. I guess I need to read the booksTywin isn't a king. Balon is a king, albeit self declared. As is Robb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logodnica Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Sansa not kneeling was one of the few things she had control of in her life at that point in time and was a strong moment for her.I'm not sure. They didn't show it as a "choice moment" as in they didn't show her understanding what it meant to kneel and end the mockery. They showed it more of a "of course I would do that momenet" where she didn't realize that he couldn't reach her, and she knelt when she realized. Maybe what they are going for is "Sansa is so kind she would of course kneel. Love her more." Instead of "Sansa realized what it would mean to spare Tyron's feelings, and so she knelt. She has no malice towards him." Perhaps I'm dissecting it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafalda Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 FTFY. :)Lol, well, she is my girl crush, but I'm sorry to say Daario outshadowed her. I've been waiting for him FOREVER! Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboginger Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 good Episode, not the best this season its up there though.I think If they did not have Tyrion be a decent dude to Sansa before the wedding they could have pulled off the Sansa no kneel move without her coming off as a dick. But as it was filmed i think she would have come off as mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Green Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Now that the episode has aired, I can say that, in my opinion, they quite blatantly chickened out on the entire Sansa/Tyrion story. There were obvious production reasons why it wasn't going to be exactly like the books, but essentially every creative choice they made in relation to it was aimed at sanding all the rough edges off it so that none of the major actors (apart from the show's go-to asshole, Joffrey, and I guess Tywin) would come off looking bad. In the process, they reduced one of the most harrowing parts of the third book to a limp noodle, dramatically.To be honest, I always found it upsetting that she wasn't more kind towards Tyrion. He was never cruel to her.Tyrion was her least-cruel jailer, but he was her jailer nonetheless. Edited May 20, 2013 by Colonel Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teemo Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yep. I hated that. Sam actually built a sort of a reputation there. Now I wonder, why would the brothers listen to him at all?Right???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonDunn Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I was disappointed they showed Stannis naming the three names with the leeches. I think it's going to be obvious to the part of the audience that pays attention what it means.oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frumpus Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 We will know soon enough, but Oona Chapman's reportedly told GoT boses that she will no longer film topless scenes! Hmm.....I really hope it's because she won't be filming any scenes at all.http://www.telegraph...ess-scenes.htmlWow way to not read the article. Oona Chaplin was talking about another actress on the set.Still, kind of shitty that they wrote Ros out of the show simply because she wouldn't do nudity anymore.

Moseh Khayim Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Oh come on, he'll be in at some point. That was a fabulous scene!This episode man, so good. And Dany's arse. .MmmmmIt was one of the best episodes this season. That's not the point. I'm starting to doubt we'll see Coldhands at all.

Ser_Patreck Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 BTW, loved Dany's "What do you mean I don't speak Dothraki perfectly well?"Newsflash, Mother of Dragons: sometimes, husbands will lie to their wives so they feel better about themselves =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesswoop Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I hated that scene where Tyrion came to Sansa before the wedding and got her to SMILE. But I guess D&D can't allow precious Tyrion to ever look like a bad guy :bang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser Stormslayer Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Why are you in here if you havent read the books? LolI started reading the summaries to get a grasp of the story and , well, I ended reading more than I should have. I suppose Stannis' problem has to do with The Stark parley with Renly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newstar Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Man, Gendry's not having the greatest season, is he?I kind of figured Sansa would kneel. I also kind of figured the wedding night scene would play out more or less as it did in the books, only without physical contact and without either Sansa or Tyrion getting completely undressed.There was something kind of funny about Sansa's smallclothes being a white tunic thing (I was reminded of Mormon undergarments) rather than the pink corset/grey skirt combo she usually wears. It was very much "Attention, Tyrion, you're about to defile an innocent, angelic virgin" costuming, heh.

Greyjoy67 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 It was one of the best episodes this season. That's not the point.I'm starting to doubt we'll see Coldhands at all.He's a big part of the books... don't be silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
