When Sansa says she doesn't want a strong, honest, good man because she wants Joffrey, does the book adequately capture the lolz that come from Arya and Ned's exchange of smirking glances?

wow, the 'no spoilers please' thing has really been abandoned by this thread, i should stop checking it
― some dude, Saturday, 18 June 2011 16:30 (twelve years ago) link
i think "no spoilers" refers to "no spoilers past what's happened on the show"

The interview with the showrunners upthread has a fairly sizable spoiler in like the first sentence.

TONIGHT YOU GUYS!
In the spirit of "not dead unless shown onscreen," I'm wagering that the next OMGTWIST is that Ned is still alive.

my own personal theory regarding her dancing master is too spoiler-heavy for this thread. maybe some other time..

Considering they haven't finished the scripts nor cast Stannis I'd say a year is the best you can hope for.

Yeah, I thought the dragon FX looked suprisingly good!
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 20 June 2011 13:42 (twelve years ago) link
the sound design was great and helped to sell it a bit, but I didn't find the visuals quite convincing, which would only get worse if they're, you know, 50 times bigger.
Decent finale, not mindblowing but not really trying to be. I'm intrigued by the Arya/bastard pairing, and I loved the scene with Sansa and Joffrey.
― You Post on ILX (Simon H.), Monday, 20 June 2011 13:51 (twelve years ago) link
great ep. ( *spoiler post, if you haven't watched it yet* )
i especially loved Jeor's speech to Snow. the only scene that fell flat, to me, was the one with Little Finger and Varys. what was the point of that? i was half expecting them to start making out!
this has also cemented my conviction to NOT read the books. in addition to many-another-factor - i'm enjoying not knowing what's going to happen next. seeing how they revealed Daenerys surviving the fire was just too good!

Yes, that guy is awesome

I thought this was cool and i dig the relationship they're setting up between the two of them. Antagonistic but with a level of mutual respect. The actor who plays Varys has been superb i think. The scene what played weirdly for me was the Grand Maester Pycelle/Ros one.
― Number None, Monday, 20 June 2011 15:57 (twelve years ago) link
I am so mad that this series has made me want dragons and direwolves as pets when it's never going to happen.

should have had the word "exposition!" flashing at the bottom of the screen imo
― all the pretty HOOSes (gbx), Monday, 20 June 2011 15:58 (twelve years ago) link
the Baelish/Varys and Grand Maester/Roz scenes both kinda sucked - the former was a little funny at least, but felt very redundant. the later was rambling and largely pointless. (I know that was the intention, but it was a waste of valuable finale time.) Would rather have checked in w/ Cersei at some point, esp. given her reaction to Joffrey's order to execute Ned last week.
― You Post on ILX (Simon H.), Monday, 20 June 2011 16:02 (twelve years ago) link
*the latter
there wasnt any exposition in that scene, was there? it was just a character moment

― little dieter wants to FUCK (Princess TamTam), Monday, 20 June 2011 16:02 (twelve years ago) link
There was TONS of plot exposition in that scene, awkwardly wedged in around gratutious nudity.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 20 June 2011 16:03 (twelve years ago) link
You could get actually get a Direwolf though Nicole, they're played by a breed of dog called the Northern Inuit.

He basically just went on about the Mad King didn't he? Who we already knew about.

exactly. redundant.
― You Post on ILX (Simon H.), Monday, 20 June 2011 16:09 (twelve years ago) link
his rambling was boring and unimportant, which is why ros was bored - the point of the scene was that pycelle's doddering old man pose is just as much of a feint to make himself seem harmless as what varys and littlefinger do
― little dieter wants to FUCK (Princess TamTam), Monday, 20 June 2011 16:10 (twelve years ago) link
Well yeah, but it just didn't need to go on that long.

thought the littlefinger/varys scene was brilliant, really well written. varys kills it in every scene, the faces he makes. joffrey is such a horrible little cunt. not a huge amount happened this ep but was interesting to hear stannis and renly have taken up against joffrey too. next season tho...wtf, so much shit is hitting the fan all at once, dragons, white walkers, multipronged civil war. it's a veritable smorgasbord of violence!
