Nah, I don't think that it's too spoilerific to reveal that GRRM hasn't actually completed the series yet tbh

is it me or is it getting a bit cheesy? i mean i know it's cheesy anyway, but even by its own standards the last 5 minutes was very schlocky.

'chaos is not a pit. it is a ladder!'
littlefinger is becoming one of the only interesting people on this show. i mean, it's awesome, but everytone is always so 'honor!' 'family!' 'oath!' 'boobs!'

some good power convos, nice bit of spectacle with the wall, couple of plot clues, piece shuffling otherwise. interesting that hbo balked at corpse nudity w/ ros. more interesting than surprising maybe. or maybe not even interesting, i dunno *shrug*
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 6 May 2013 13:04 (ten years ago) link
i thought it was v good for a set up ep which are usually a snooze

No more Theon torture porn, pls. Ick.

Do the non-book readers have any idea who the guy torturing Theon is or are you all totally in the dark?

Don't know who it is but someone cleverly put a screenshot with a clue up there.

Feel like we're never going o learn Podrick's secrets.

re: that clue. who is that guy to theon?
― cozen, Monday, 6 May 2013 16:29 (ten years ago) link
They've given us enough hints over the past two seasons to put WHO together imo - or at least I'll be very very surprised if its not who I think it is. WHY I have no idea though I'm starting to think it's "just because he can."

In which Max writes the greatest article on the series yet.

My husband hasn't read the books so he keeps asking about this character, and I'm still not sure if it is a big deal to spoil it or not.

wow ygritte is super posh; immaculately clipped non-scots accent irl
― cozen, Monday, 6 May 2013 17:27 (ten years ago) link
who pulls off an incredibly convincing northern accent
hmm.

i love that sean bean barely even bothers to do his posh yorkshire boromir thing in this. it's full on sheffield.
― caek, Monday, 6 May 2013 18:32 (ten years ago) link
Did the same outcome befall roz in the books?

The guy who isn't Vargo Hoat seemed like he was kinda shooting for Brummie

i think actually it's not that bad, but it's not a modern accent. it's 100 years old, which is why it sounds weird, but i suppose it makes sense for the character.
a good article!
my favourite accents to listen to on this show are: sean bean (obviously), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (not necessarily "good", but nice to listen to) and liam cunningham, who does a beautiful durham/northumbria thing.

god, ygritte's real accent is amazing
― caek, Monday, 6 May 2013 18:51 (ten years ago) link
ygritte show accent is p much straight manc, or more specifically lancashire manc suburbs. i know ppl who sound a lot like that
roz was a whoo-er in the north that was chummy with theon iirc but didn't get any further along than that
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 6 May 2013 18:56 (ten years ago) link
I would like to point out that people generally adopt accents from their peers not their parents according to studies
― lag∞n, Monday, 6 May 2013 19:04 (ten years ago) link
i think she's going for lancashire yeah, but it's not quite right to me.
― caek, Monday, 6 May 2013 19:07 (ten years ago) link
southern lancashire in partic.
i mean not that it matters. this is a terrible show about wizards that i don't even like and i only watch because everyone else does and i never post on this thread although the episode last week was good and i liked it when they blew up the boats.
― caek, Monday, 6 May 2013 19:08 (ten years ago) link
but i like the febrile energy of max's article
― caek, Monday, 6 May 2013 19:10 (ten years ago) link
As an American all I get is a southern gentleman out of littlefinger in a few random words and am nodding along blankly to all the other accent stuff you're all going on about.
― Evan, Monday, 6 May 2013 19:19 (ten years ago) link
It's a bit Welsh, I thought? Or am I not hearing it right? It is a very strange accent.
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 6 May 2013 19:24 (ten years ago) link
Well it'll be like one emphasized word per every three lines that give me that impression.
― Evan, Monday, 6 May 2013 19:27 (ten years ago) link
i think part of the problem is he's clearly reaching for a deeper voice than he naturally has, plus he seems like like he's not naturally an accent guy
― caek, Monday, 6 May 2013 19:33 (ten years ago) link
welsh would be "correct" in some sense, since he's from the vale and theoretically vale accents = welsh
― max, Monday, 6 May 2013 19:34 (ten years ago) link
i think in a weird way his accent is worse or more distracting than dinklage's, because he seems to have something specific in mind that he's trying to do, where as dinklage hardly bothers these days
― caek, Monday, 6 May 2013 19:37 (ten years ago) link
I had no idea Dinklage's was so weak. USA! USA!
