Wow. Just watched yesterdays episode. Amazed. I was glued - some incredibly tense moments and incredible swings of battle.
They actually showed a battle for a change, and not just a battle, a siege.

I don't need close-ups of severed limbs and fountains of blood to know its war. I don't mind violence, but some scenes seemed straight out of a bad splatter movie.the wicked child wrote:It's war... not sure what you're expecting.

Re: George R.R. Martin
easily the best episode of the season, it's quite refreshing to get a storyline that last more than 5 minutes, amazing how much emotionally more involved you get.

Then you will love A Feast for Crows then when they split the stroy into two and you only get Kings Landing and the WallSpangler wrote:That is how episodes should me made. Not this 3 minutes of each story at a time crap.

Re: George R.R. Martin
As excited as I am to see that list, it is also a bit scary to imagine adding that many characters. Hopefully they find a better pacing to the storylines going forward or theyvare going to lose a lot of non readers.

Most of them are supporting characters but there is one thing to keep in mind:the wicked child wrote:As excited as I am to see that list, it is also a bit scary to imagine adding that many characters.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Anyone else kind of wish the way the Harrnhall events went in TV was how it played out in Clash of Kings? Tywin and Arya's seens together have been some of the best this season. The mess that was Arya's journey from Kingslanding and eventually finding her way to Harrenhal would have been so much worse on TV and could have ended up like Jon Snow which they are butchering.

A lot of book fans will be excited to see the Reeds. I've read posts on a GoT message board, and they couldn't stop talking about the absence of them this season.

Re: George R.R. Martin
I haven’t really been watching the TV show much because I prefer the books and my own imagination’s interpretation of the characters. I also don’t like some of the changes they made from book to TV. But I actually wouldn’t mind if they give Olenna Redwyne (Grandma Tyrell, basically) more air time in the show. The Queen of Thorns is a great character.

Re: George R.R. Martin
Yeah I'm glad she will be on the show. I was beginning to wonder if they were just going to drop her from the show. The reason I thought that was because it seemed they were making Margaery Tyrell more independent on the show.Shyster wrote:I haven’t really been watching the TV show much because I prefer the books and my own imagination’s interpretation of the characters.

On an unrelated note...
Bron must've received a massive killstreak when he ignited the wildfire.

Cersei's/Lena Headey's acting was on another level in the Blackwater episode. I've watched it several times now, and I can't stop enjoying her performance.

Re: George R.R. Martin
PERFECT acting in that episode in relation to the book. Her attitude in the red keep was EXACTLY how it is described in the novel. Very well done. She nailed the, "I've resigned myself to being raped and/or killed so might as well get hammered and speak my mind" attitude.Spangler wrote:Cersei's/Lena Headey's acting was on another level in the Blackwater episode.

Re: George R.R. Martin
last night was great. Was hoping for a little more in the house of undying, kinda skimped on the rooms. I'm torn on the season, the last 2 episodes were really excellent, not sure if it makes up for the average season. Seems like you could probably watch episodes 1, 8, 9, 10 and get to the next season. Hopefully the 3rd season continues with the last 2 ep. greatness.
