what happened with the hound though? he went from wanting to rape people with their swords to pacifist pretty quick

he is scared of fire

that "why does the hound, who only has half a face due to some tragic fire incident, do a 360 when surrounded by fire?" is even a question for people makes me understand why most mainstream tv shows have flashbacks and scenes of over-exposition

not to sound snarky; that's just what tv has wrought

and by 360 i mean 180, lol math
Yeeeeah. Also fuck you people, read the damn books.

yeah i really can instantly recall the 3 second mention of this which i last saw in 2011 sometime.
did anyone find the battle intensely confusing? what were they all chanting at tyrion?

"Halfman"
― Number None, Tuesday, 29 May 2012 15:12 (twelve years ago) link
"half-man" but the rhythm of it made it sound more like "man-half" or perhaps sound like nothing at all so it took a while to scan.
xp or that

I think the thing w/ the Hound's PTSD scene is that it just happened too damn quickly for me. A little more rubbing our faces in the horror of the situation might have sold it a little better imo
― Simon H., Tuesday, 29 May 2012 15:18 (twelve years ago) link
that's what i mean about tv being a medium of rubbing people's facing in the seemingly obvious

that was a kickass explosion, indeed. loved that beat when the Hound and Tyrion are looking at the carnage/screaming with horror, and then they cut to the Maester-y dude who gives a little chuckle

i got the fire reference clearly but I will agree that it was poorly handled in the filming. It didn't need a full on "HOW'D IT GET BURNED HOW'D IT GET BURNED" flashback but the scene was more shorthand than putting you inside the hound's head.

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), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 16:22 (twelve years ago) link
it was really short and also ages ago, and an aside in an episode that prob had tons of other stuff happening. it also didn't give any real sense of how damaged mentally he was, if at all.

xpost *didn't = haven't
not to say that they won't, but it just feels very patchy and hamhanded
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 16:23 (twelve years ago) link
I felt like they gave Hound and Sansa a lot of attention this season!
― homosexual II, Tuesday, 29 May 2012 16:40 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah this was pretty much exactly my reaction as well.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 29 May 2012 16:44 (twelve years ago) link
he should have shook his head back and forth a bunch of times and went 'a doy doy doy'
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 16:49 (twelve years ago) link
I think there were a lot of close-ups of the Hound's worried face, but I didn't take it as seriously when he threatened to disembowel that captain of the archers if the flames got anywhere near him.
Sansa/Hound has been developed since last season. Thought they've done an excellent job with that one.

i'm baffled by the idea that anyone who's been following the show could miss the very obvious connect-the-dots between the hound's hideously burned face and his very obvious, clearly telegraphed fear of fire in this episode.
― spextor vs bextor (contenderizer), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 17:38 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah I thought the very foregrounded Littlefinger 'Origin of Hound' story in S1 was adequate prep.
You know what they did NOT make parseable enough, though? That Tyrion was cut down by one of the King's Guard.
― but he go's to a resturang and then die in a toilet (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 17:44 (twelve years ago) link
continuing from xp: i mean, i miss basic shit all the time, so i'm not getting all high and mighty about it, but it seemed all caps obvious to me. the fear on the hound's face when stannis' fleet was consumed, his warning the head of the archers to keep the fire away from him, the way he froze when the burning guy seemed to rush him, the montage of him glancing around from one burning thing to another before he quit the field.

Didn't really think it was obvious or telegraphed at all.

I missed the archer bit though.

I've had a hard time distinguishing between "Gold cloaks" and "King's guard" this season. Liked it better last season when every shot of the King's guard featured a close-up of the Baratheon emblem + helmet off.
I read the books but didn't put together "Hound is afraid of fire" when watching the show, it was more like, "why is Hound afraid of this screaming soldier more than that screaming soldier? Hmm I dunno."
― poxen, Tuesday, 29 May 2012 17:49 (twelve years ago) link
when he was heading outside the gate he stopped at the captain of the archer and said something like "if any of those fucking flaming arrows comes anywhere near me i'll strangle you with your intestines" or something along those lines.

most confusing part for me was when Tyrion was on the ground with his face slashed and he saw the horse-mounted knight with a helmet that looked like it had a stag's antlers on it, so i figured they were Stannis' Baratheon forces and not Tywin and his crew.
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 17:51 (twelve years ago) link
xp - yeah, that warning
― spextor vs bextor (contenderizer), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 17:54 (twelve years ago) link
xpost Yeah that was bcuz Loras Tyrell took Renly's helmet after the latter's death. I have read the books 2x yet I forgot about that bit and I was fkin confused last night too!

btw LOVED (aka frightened by) stannis this episode, total fkin maniac. First one over the wall, last one to leave and dragged bodily at that.

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.
― spextor vs bextor (contenderizer), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 17:57 (twelve years ago) link
i'm definitely more curious about why a kings' guard was trying to kill Tyrion.
