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 (thirteen years ago)
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 (thirteen years ago)
the torturers are balon's crew or what? i have really no idea. not sure i'm supposed to though.

Bolton's, i'm pretty sure. the "boy" is Bolton's "bastard".

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 (thirteen years ago)
More compelling if you know as much as Theon going along.
― Evan, Monday, 22 April 2013 20:35 (thirteen years ago)
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 (thirteen years ago)
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 (thirteen years ago)
god varys and olenna was fantastic - I said to Mr Veg it was like watching 2 snakes in conversation

i found some of the scenes hard to watch but then the glorious ending really tied it all together, the lowest of lows to the highest of highs

great ep, first time I've really thought the woman who plays danaerys is pullin off badass ancient desert dragon queen
― max, Tuesday, 23 April 2013 02:59 (thirteen years ago)
that was the third episode of this show i've ever seen and she's the only character i like

dude u should watch the first two seasons this weekend

yeah I've read the first 2 books and during that speech I was like, oh RIIIIIGHT Valyrian
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 23 April 2013 04:50 (thirteen years ago)
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 (thirteen years ago)
Agree about Conleth Hill, that scene about his castration was close to perfect.
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 23 April 2013 06:13 (thirteen years ago)
And yeah, Dany really coming into her own now.
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 23 April 2013 06:14 (thirteen years ago)
lady olenna is a great new char
the look cersei gave her when chatting was golden
― cozen, Tuesday, 23 April 2013 06:21 (thirteen years ago)
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.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 23 April 2013 11:51 (thirteen years ago)
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.

yeah, same as everybody else really: this is shaping up to be the best season

Theon is the Pete Campbell of this show, I will never tire of watching people inflict physical pain on him.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 10:10 (thirteen years ago)
Ooh, who'd be Don? Peggy? Roger?
― mackleless (latebloomer), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 10:59 (thirteen years ago)
Tyrian has a bit of the Roger about him.
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 11:04 (thirteen years ago)
Tyrion actually, isn't it. Oops.
Arya is Peggy.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 11:12 (thirteen years ago)
otm
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 11:13 (thirteen years ago)
Was gonna say Ned was Don, but he was actually more like Lane.

Pretty much half the dudes in this are idiot manchildren who are in their position purely as a result of stuff their dad did.

These mostly don't work at all with the exception of Arya as Peggy which is totally OTM.
