Stannis looks a bit like an older version of Statham, I approve.

I briefly got my book characters mixed up so for the first minute or so of the beach scene, I thought Davos was Stannis

Me too!
I was excited to see Carice van Houten was Melisandre. Must admit I crushed out majorly on her pagan witch-mayor in Black Death.

Someone I know could get access to all but the last 4 episodes but we all decided not to do it. Would rather have the weekly watchin' ritual.

Stannis doesn't look grumpy enough but I haven't really seen enough of him to properly judge.

they are so thronesy with casting now that i immediately assumed i'd seen stannis and davos before tbh

one thing about having read the source material for this show is that i'm not so impatient for the next episode and can really bask in all the blood and titties come alive
― humba (NZA), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 20:19 (twelve years ago) link
don't know if any of you have HBOGo on your iPads but the interactive feature thing for this show is pretty awesome.

I didn't really understand what was going on with the poisoned wine. He was trying to poison her, right? Why exactly did it go so wrong?― silverfish, Wednesday, April 4, 2012 5:34 AM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

They changed this up from the book (he spikes the wine, offers it to her first, she drinks, then he drinks), but it seemed like in this scene he's going for a murder-suicide thing (maybe killing someone is dishonor enough to make him unfit to be a maester).
― Office Tebow (Leee), Thursday, 5 April 2012 03:46 (twelve years ago) link
ha in the book he offers it to her but she knows he's trying to poison her so she says she'll drink but he'll have to drink with her too. she gives him the glass and kinda smiles at him knowing that he's gonna die.that whole scene is quite entertaining. i also like how we glimpsed the table thats actually a map of westeros though they could have let us have a better look at it.

I had no idea how far east Vaes Dothrak was until I saw the HBO map.

westeros table is rad, as was the octopus fireplace, feel like theyve stepped up the set design this season from what was already v awesome

It's a KRAKEN. Sorry

POWER is power scene was A+
On the real, I haven't read the books but as soon as Cersei called the guards on Littlefinger I turned to my BF and said "she is gonna be all like "POWER is power, bitch"."
This is not a testament to my predictive talents so much as that writing dialogue for slightly cheesy machinistic modern soapies is basically my number one fantasy job.

yeah you could sort of telegraph it but she really went to town on it with the whole "close your eyes" slightly ludicrous stuff.
― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Saturday, 7 April 2012 10:45 (twelve years ago) link
also power is hot
she didn't need to say that bit

i dont get why she told them to turn around and close their eyes
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Saturday, 7 April 2012 15:22 (twelve years ago) link
coulda told them to hop on one foot, same difference

i keep the wiki open on my phone while watching to know who the fuck everyone is or is talking about.

I wasn't complaining! It was an intuitively necessary statement. Sometimes a show having predictable dialogue is actually a good thing, it's like a sports player seeing an opening and taking it and scoring.
― Tim F, Saturday, 7 April 2012 15:36 (twelve years ago) link
but if they were already turned around, why did their eyes need to be closed? shouldn't she have said "cover your ears"?

no kidding.
the "sexposition" is getting kinda ridic at this point. also some interesting changes/embellishments to the story. it's kinda exciting to see what they change and what they don't!
― Teenage Mutant Ninja Body Image (latebloomer), Saturday, 7 April 2012 16:16 (twelve years ago) link
They must have some plans for Ros, cos for a character that doesn't appear in the books she sure gets a lot of screen time.
