Yeah see that question should be one of the biggest takeaways from the battle!

xxpost jon lewist otm, Stannis was like super-war-general. I was so RAGH WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT when he says they're going into the city even though the rest of the fleet is on fire and their men are burning alive in front of them, but when he steps over the edge of the ship i'm like OH HELL YES, and I was totally on board with him, lol.

i'm definitely more curious about why a kings' guard was trying to kill Tyrion.
yeah, i was surprised by this, though i suppose i shouldn't have been...

you know who is really scary in this show? gregor clegane. he's not really what i pictured him—from the books i imagined him as a big sweaty shaggy dude. here he's big but also so... composed looking or something. scary.

The whole scene with Cersei and her little-one(wotsisname) in the throne room when she's about to dose him with the nightshade..nyyyyaaah. I was full of creeping dread and getting awful Flowers in The Attic vibes off her (sorry for the trashy cultural reference lol) thank CHRIST for Tywin Lannister gods be praised

You know what they did NOT make parseable enough, though? That Tyrion was cut down by one of the King's Guard.

not to get too caught up in book vs movie but I have to say I'm really disappointed that they didn't develop the relationship between Hound/Sansa more. That moment with them last night read much more awkward and out of the blue than it should have.― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl),

Please tell me you're not one of those SanSan creeps, otherwise I will have to FP you like forever.
I've had a hard time distinguishing between "Gold cloaks" and "King's guard" this season.
Gold Cloaks have those metal baseball caps with a chain veil, Kingsguards have full armor (minus the helmets) which have white floral patterns.

what perhaps made the "fear of fire" thing a bit difficult to parse was that the hound didn't act as though he was fleeing in fear. he just slowly lumbered off. we're used to more dramatic displays of terror when it's supposed to be present.

yeah srsly everyone on this thread all THE HOUND IS SCARED OF FIRE LOL DUUH, what was depicted in this scene was the hound recognizing the futility of war, it was sparked by seeing a soldier despite being totally on fire charge at him, he saw himself in that guy looked at the tragic absurdity of the situation and was all f this noise im so out of here - fear may have entered into it but what we saw was the hound having a change of heart

I worry about zombies, though the dead horse looked awesome. White Walkers (I guess that's what they were?) with their ice swords (I guess they were ice swords?) looked fucking awesome though. I hope Samwise is okay.
Dany's middling arc this season paid off with all that dragon shit being awesome as hell.
Not sure I really understood what's going on with Arya.
Brienne was the shit. Spin-off with her and Jamie wandering the roads please.
Don't care about Robb but hope somehow the inbred creepy Twins guy causes a ruckus.
Theon's scene with the Maester was fantastic. Little ol' Alfie stopped smoking we and really delivered there.
I want to know who the hell torched Winterfell.

man book 2 is the only one I've really read and the thing I was looking forward to most was the house of the undying and it got like six minutes of screen time and left out most of the creepy vignettes that I was hoping for.
― "Holy crap," I mutter, as he gently taps my area (silby), Monday, 4 June 2012 05:33 (1 year ago) Permalink
yeah, the house of the undying was definitely a bit anticlimactic after all the buildup. did like the white walkers, though. good episode, overall.
i'm wondering about the size of winterfell these days. i originally got the idea that it was a pretty substantial settlement, but ever since, it's seemed like a courtyard or two and a couple buildings. it's seemed especially tiny in the last few episodes. then when the kids were leaving, it looked MASSIVE, like it would house thousands. how could a city that big possibly be held by 20 men, even with its army away?

yeah... i mean the northern soldiers were under orders to let any of theon's soldiers go free if they surrendered, and they had his body with them, so it's not hard to imagine them getting away easily. otoh, if they burned the city before leaving, you'd think that would complicate things. idk.
