yeah it made sense. and made it more plausible that she would go ham like that after you learn that she heard and understood all the insults from that dude.

That was one of the better episodes for sure. Lots of fun.

Varys <3 I love that goddamn eunuch.

I really dig the show's version of Margaery too. Also love how Joffrey's dorkiness comes out when he's around her.

I love how booby her dresses are. She's like Game of Thrones catwoman

Daenerys was awesome, one hell of an ep!

irl lolled at theon's fate
― r|t|c, Monday, 22 April 2013 19:33 (eleven years ago) link
what was the point of him doing all that anyways?! was it some kind of meta torture or something?!
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 22 April 2013 19:38 (eleven years ago) link
currying favour?
― cozen, Monday, 22 April 2013 19:41 (eleven years ago) link
with the torturers, I mean
― cozen, Monday, 22 April 2013 19:42 (eleven years ago) link
the ones he killed?!
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 22 April 2013 19:47 (eleven years ago) link
give captive hope only to take it all away is an oldschool psychological breakdown torture classic iirc
― Clay, Monday, 22 April 2013 19:48 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah usually you don't kill four of your own dudes in the process.
― Evan, Monday, 22 April 2013 19:50 (eleven years ago) link
oh wow that Theon fakeout was the best, I really dug that
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 22 April 2013 19:53 (eleven years ago) link
I suppose Theon's captor is an unusual dude. xp.
― Clay, Monday, 22 April 2013 19:59 (eleven years ago) link
obv imo there was something "off" about theon's escape so i wasn't exactly surprised at what it turned out to be but it was still grimly lolful.

― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 22 April 2013 20:01 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, also worth considering is that theon was the only one who knew bran and rickon were alive and now he told this guy
― ciderpress, Monday, 22 April 2013 20:02 (eleven years ago) link
was it some kind of meta torture or something?!
I took it as, they weren't getting info out of Theon so they set up the fake escape, had the guy who let him go gain his trust, & at the very end there got Theon to admit he was loyal to the Starks
but yeah this is otm ---> usually you don't kill four of your own dudes in the process
― dmr, Monday, 22 April 2013 20:02 (eleven years ago) link
the torturers are balon's crew or what? i have really no idea. not sure i'm supposed to though.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Monday, 22 April 2013 20:10 (eleven years ago) link
Bolton's, i'm pretty sure. the "boy" is Bolton's "bastard".
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 22 April 2013 20:17 (eleven years ago) link
i'm not sure how vague it's supposed to be, theon's story after the sack of winterfell is written kind of non-linearly in the books and they're clearly handling it differently in the tv show
― ciderpress, Monday, 22 April 2013 20:17 (eleven years ago) link
More compelling if you know as much as Theon going along.
― Evan, Monday, 22 April 2013 20:35 (eleven years ago) link
I haven't seen the season 3 episodes yet, but yeah, in the books this plotline has a lot of uncertainty and ambiguity.
― Moodles, Monday, 22 April 2013 20:46 (eleven years ago) link
Dany fucking up the slavers is one of my favourite sequences in the book, and they really did it justice.same, absolute class.
Best scene of the week - and I loved Olenna Tyrell & Varys too. Conleth Hill is just brilliant in every scene he's in.
― gyac, Monday, 22 April 2013 22:36 (eleven years ago) link
god varys and olenna was fantastic - I said to Mr Veg it was like watching 2 snakes in conversation

great ep, first time I've really thought the woman who plays danaerys is pullin off badass ancient desert dragon queen

that was the third episode of this show i've ever seen and she's the only character i like

idk, even though I wasn't a huge fan of the actress at the beginning, I've always had a soft spot for her character. Completely remaking herself from the terrified slave of crazy brother into this awesome Dragon queen-ruler-commander is awesome
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 23 April 2013 04:52 (eleven years ago) link
Agree about Conleth Hill, that scene about his castration was close to perfect.
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 23 April 2013 06:13 (eleven years ago) link
And yeah, Dany really coming into her own now.
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 23 April 2013 06:14 (eleven years ago) link
lady olenna is a great new char
the look cersei gave her when chatting was golden
― cozen, Tuesday, 23 April 2013 06:21 (eleven years ago) link
Amazing episode, so many wow moments in there.
I get the feeling that Cersei visibly losing influence within King's Landing is very bad news indeed for Tyrion and Shae in ways I can't really imagine just yet.
Olenna and Margaery together are terrific characters, totally playing everyone so far. No one else in the show understands the value of good PR.
