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.

god varys and olenna was fantastic - I said to Mr Veg it was like watching 2 snakes in conversation

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.

Catching up today. Mira Reed is kind of rrrobyn-ish.

Consigning the praise, amazing episode. Daenerys totally vamping for the camera at the end though.

Theon is the Pete Campbell of this show, I will never tire of watching people inflict physical pain on him.

Ooh, who'd be Don? Peggy? Roger?

Tyrian has a bit of the Roger about him.

Tyrion actually, isn't it. Oops.
Arya is Peggy.

Was gonna say Ned was Don, but he was actually more like Lane.

too much time on GoT
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 15:47 (eleven years ago) link
I caught "The Last Legion" when flipping channels, which was awful, but noticed a ton of actors that are also in GoT. I wonder why.
Owen Teale, James Cosmo, Ian Glen, Thomas Sangster, Robert Pugh and Nonso Anozie.
They're pretty bad in it, too.
― Evan, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 16:34 (eleven years ago) link
That last one was a good ep and had a humdinger of an ending, which helped people come away from it buzzing, but it wasn't 'best ever' material for me. Not every story thread was that strong this week, especially Theon's, which ended up with his character back where he was - in every sense - three weeks ago. I hope this was for a good reason, because otherwise everything that has happened to him this season has been pointless.
Still, really liked: Tywin castigating Cersei for not controlling Joffrey; Varys meeting his match with Diana Rigg; shit getting real with Dany, her dragons and her slave army - which you could see coming, but it came sooner than I expected, as did the showdown at Craster's Keep.
Most of the other story threads trod water a little, but the most pointless bit was a whole scene dedicated to a discussion about Podrick's prowess yet again.
