Just got caught up, nice terminator milk carton kill in 2 weeks ago episode. When did the mother of dragons get skinny, her waist is extremely small now. I liked the newest episode.

Enjoyed the episode quite a bit despite it being fairly light on action. As always, went by WAY too fast.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I feel like they've largely gotten much better at interweaving the various story lines over time. That has to be incredibly difficult. It didn't work so well back in Season 2, but they've been getting better at it every season.
There is an occasional scene that sticks out like a sore thumb... like the Dreadfort scene last week... but I think they have the hang of it now. That will be important going forward.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Still the same deal...kings landing and the river lands stuff that isn't Brienne is good. Everything else is pretty boring.
But they've accurately brought the book to life in that regard.
At least things are about to get interesting up north.

Re: George R.R. Martin
The Mountain is huge. But I expected him to look a little more rough around the edges.
All in all a good episode.
Seems like some story lines are moving quicker than they should while others are being extended, but that's to be expected a little.

Loved it. As soon as the viper came into the dungeon I said 'This is gonna be good." Not disappointed. I feel that this episode moved the story along A LOT. Well done.

You could tell they were using camera tricks to make him look bigger. They never showed a simple shot of him standing next to anyone, I don't think.
It's a shame they couldn't get the guy from season 1 back. He was legit.

The guy playing the Mountain now is significantly taller than Lena Headey. I don't know offhand how tall she is, but she never struck me as being short.

In regards to Pedro Pascal, there was a ridiculous amount of
on the net when he was cast as the Red Viper... which has proven to be silly. He has done an amazing job.

Re: George R.R. Martin
In defense of your original comment, he is the shortest actor the play the Mountain. Conan Stevens was 7' and Ian Whyte was 7'1". So screw Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson and his raw powerlifting total of 2,225 pounds and his second place finish at World's Strongest Man.shmenguin wrote:holy macaroni, that dude's big. last night, they had the one shot where the camera was on the ground facing up, and it looked like he was on lifts or something. my mistake.the wicked child wrote:The guy playing the Mountain now is significantly taller than Lena Headey.

Oddly enough, the Mother of Dragons probably got skinny due to her training to be Sarah Connor in the Terminator reboot.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I really like what they are doing with Alliser Thorne being portrayed as a really bad leader compared to Jon Snow. Makes you want to punch him in the face every time.
Again, the new Daario just does not work. I don't buy anything he says in regards to what the character is supposed to be.
