Game of Thrones discussion thread

[bunique]

We were laughing about that, the extra telling everyone he knows he got a part on GOT only to find his one line is "c**t" or "fuck off"

[bunique]

Can you tell I avoided any spoilers? I'm outraged

[Winslow Leach]

Nice to hear an airing of the Stark theme as well, it appears all too rarely these days.

Seriously( they're just killing people off for fun now! Spend 5 series making Jon into the hero of the piece and then that! Fuckers. Motherfuckers!

Isn't it just following the books?

[ThomThomDrum]

Fuck! That was mega

Love hating the questioning of apparent deaths!

Olly the lil bollox! Did not see Snow getting it Tbh. Saw him shacking up with Dany ultimately. Still feel he maybe OK. Not knowing his mother has always made me think he may have some other interesting blood even richer than Stark blood......

Arya's kill was satisfying, but at what price??

Amazed at how many men on horses can hide "just around the corners"

I wonder if the HBO budget will ever allow for a full scale massive open battle? Love the surrounding of Stannis' men but fast forward to the end was disappointing

[LondonTom]

Was I imagining it, or as Stannis was about to die, Brienne appeared to be struck from behind and then it cut away to elsewhere in the battle where Ramsey was killing someone, the only time he was show in the episode, this battle was non existent, but yeah someone clear up the Brienne bit for me?

Yeah I think she did get hit, was pretty disappointed to see that wasn't returned to.

 

I didn't pick up on that, I thought it cut away for dramatic effect.

 

Was I the only person waiting for Jon Snow's eyes to turn blue?

 

I am now  all in for the White Walkers to raze the whole of Westeros to the ground after that fuckery! Bloody knights watch!

 

 

After all the bloody build up for Stannis Vs. The Bolton's, I was really disappointed with the battle over so quickly! I guess the budget was already blown on the other battle then

 

The walk of shame was brilliant, and I hope Arya ends up ok!

 

Overall, the 3rd best episode of the series, but thats not a hard place to come

[DomDom1984]

I take it my theory is shit.

[viberunner]

I take it my theory is shit.

 

Don't take this the wrong way but "yes".

 

One of them was left dying anonymously in the middle of nowhere and a long distance from King's Landing, and a traitor to the crown to boot. The other one died in King's Landing and the once-Maester said "I can fix him, he'll be changed but not for the weaker".

 

Also, I don't think "the look of the eyes" of an actor is going to be reliable given The Mountain has (prior to this season) already been played by three different actors (Conan Stevens, Ian Whyte, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson). Visual consistency is not a strong suit.

[philipsteak]

Great episode and all, but how the fuck did the line

 

'You want the good girl, but you need the bad pussy'

 

firstly, get into the script, and secondly, stay there. Possibly the worst line ever uttered on TV. And that's in a world that has Hollyoaks

[bunique]

Even Bron looked unimpressed

[The Placid Casual]

yeah I mean they spend so much time on Stannis and then he dies so quickly? I was hoping for a br00tal siege

It's a good thing I didn't read this thread before I watched it at 5pm yesterday!

 

I hope you didn't spoil this for anyone.

Where you not already primed for something with Stannis after the shite spewed over on the weather thread? 

[justanothername]

Good episode but they did really brush over a lot of events and they did rely on the lets kill a main character gimmick too much. But no one is in a good situation are they? Can't wait a year for this

Nah, I didn't look through that thread. I've just seen the OP now too. Last time I read the OP it said to keep any spoilers back until after the 9pm sky atlantic screening instead of the 2am one.

 

As you were folks.

Spoiler etiquette can be a pretty touchy subject about these parts at times..............

 

Im of the opinion if in doubt just bloody well spoiler it

 

Personally I think posting about episodes without spoiler protection prior to the Prime Time screening is a tad selfish/lazy/thoughtless, as what it can mean is that in the build up to a episdoe on a particular Monday folk cant risk coming on here to discuss their anticipation for the episode and its effectively a "no go" area, even if the spoiler "rule" was clearly outlined

[ThomThomDrum]

Let's face it, i.......................................blah blah

 

Some how Tony I think you may be in a very small minority of folk on this thread that think like that

 

It would confuse the shit out of me however if this is how you feel yet you still watch it, what?, about 50 odd episodes in??

Hollyoaks, Eastenders, Game Of Thrones.... plot-wise, what's the difference?

 

Get out from under your bridge

[bunique]

"Sponsors"? HBO has no adverts and there's no product placement in the show...

[t8yman]

one is fiction based on how people behaved when we were little more than savages as a race, the other two are very similar in that respect although no-one actually carries on like that in real life.

 

its fantasy, escapism, and tits - loads of tits.

Thankfully I didn't read here before I watched it, but as I had work from 8am to 4pm, it was pretty much impossible to watch it until I got home unless I wanted to sacrifice all sleep, haha.

[bunique]

Surely your problem should be with the source material Tony, rather than the show itself? Have not read the books to know how close many of the deaths are in terms of being graphic mind you

And lots of cock for a change last night

[ThomThomDrum]

There is plenty of dark shit in the books not touched on in the programme 

 

BTW Id question anyone who can watch GOT and not get emotionally involved...............there is a lot of string plucking and button pushing throughout.

Was just musing on that in the shower TTD! Useless bloody wolf...

[The Placid Casual]

I think a tv show, or a film should be able to stand on it's own, whether someone has read the book(s) or not. From what I understand, the TV show has taken quite a few liberties with the plot. The unnecessary rape scenes for example. 

Which the writer of the books has agreed to.
