Good episode, in retrospect, but at the time I was waiting for shit to kick off. Preview for next week probably eased that pain.

Very end was really affecting, and it, Onion Knight + Stannis, and Varys and Tyrion bro'ing down saved the rest of the episode with its Stupid!Robb and Stupid!Jon and Boring!Talk. Even the Arya stuff was meh.

Last three episodes felt lke they could easily have been two episodes. Writers seem committed to giving every storyline at least two minutes of screen time a week, which gets a little silly I.e. this week with Dany.

she should've whistled and said "I'm not in the book you know" like Gopher

Well that scene had a reason for existing since they're building up a genuine love story which has to involve feelings and she's not just some random prostitue.

Stannizzz. I feel like they could've successfully done an entire late season Stannis/Davos/Melisandre episode, sewn up that entire storyline in a single hour, neatly explained Renly's otherwise mysterious death, and then subsequently concluded with whatever conclusion will conclude the Dragonstone/King's Landing battle.
― poxen, Monday, 21 May 2012 06:29 (eleven years ago) link
But Stannis/Davos scenes are the best!
― abcfsk, Monday, 21 May 2012 06:37 (eleven years ago) link
Can't get used to the fact that guy is actually Davos
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Monday, 21 May 2012 07:28 (eleven years ago) link
most awkward sex scene ever in this one, it was like a kung fu movie with them trying to remove each other's strait-jackets.
also mama stark is now on my list of annoying characters, she just has the same pained expression in every scene.
this show is sliding into walking dead levels of mindlessness, but will still watch every week as i did with that.

The actress is so gorgeous that none of this bothered me TBH.

Tbf, longwinded footchopper is indeed the most attractive woman on the show

longwinded footchopper = Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter

imo the wildling who captured jon is now the most attractive woman on this show.

Someone mentioned the Chaplin girl's long speech is dripping with foreshadowing.

Not all she's dripping with etc

Long something something Robb's cock
the wildling looking after bran is pretty hot.

her from About a Boy I think
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Monday, 21 May 2012 21:46 (eleven years ago) link
she was in harry potter. she's in a sort of... gypsyish band that played at the premiere party for the last one. v weird, but not awful. she seems quite the character in real life.
― ooooiiiioooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaoooooh un - bi - leevable! (LocalGarda), Monday, 21 May 2012 21:54 (eleven years ago) link

Do we really have to debate spoilers again when it's a whole lot easier to treat it as a matter of etiquette?

er, Cersei is the hottest woman on this show I think.
And Dinklage is the hottest dude.
― homosexual II, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 03:33 (eleven years ago) link
otm about Dinklage at least, dude is handsome
― raw feel vegan (silby), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 05:30 (eleven years ago) link
I thought Dinklage was pretty terrible in his big scene with Shae. The accent hampers him when he's trying to get all serious
― Number None, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 13:56 (eleven years ago) link
agreed.
― ooooiiiioooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaoooooh un - bi - leevable! (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 14:05 (eleven years ago) link
why even bother w/the terrible accent
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 14:07 (eleven years ago) link
The accents are all over the place. Like Liam Cunningham playing Davos is doing some kind of Geordie thing, Michael McElhatton as Roose Bolton is doing his normal Irish accent and fuck knows what Aidan Gillen is doing. I guess not everyone notices that kind of stuff though
― Number None, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 14:11 (eleven years ago) link
Aiden Gillen's accent seems like it changed a lot between the first and second season? I don't know what is up with that.
― Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 14:12 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, he's definitely gone to some very weird places with it in the second season
― Number None, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 14:13 (eleven years ago) link
its just like 1 show is set in an imaginary place 2 medieval england had totally diff accents than present day 3 is how i break it down to an extent
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 14:14 (eleven years ago) link
i liked it when the northmen all had actual northern accents
― max, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 14:33 (eleven years ago) link
but i guess that was really mostly just sean bean
iron islands geordie is good value.
also like the few random irish dudes.
