Walsingham Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 LoL at GD and GRRM. ther's really such a tremendous buttload of animal crybabies out there. Yet they rarely seem to actually do anything practical to help actual animals. Not that I mind. It's just even rarer that they show the same empathy for people. "It wasn't lies.

Better yet; they support whine about "cute and cuddly" animals. Ever hear them whine about alligators, snakes or komodo dragons? Nope.

Kaftan Barlast Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 This episode was probabl the gayest thing Ive seen. The shaving scene was way worse than Brokeback Mountain, atleast there you had proper blokes going at it, not some girlie men in fancy lighting DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

WDeranged Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 The sound effects were kind of comical, I just pictured someone making sucky sucky noises into a mic but I enjoyed the episode as a whole, nice to see a dragon skull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I liked the episode much better than last week. The political intrigue is ramping up, the scenes re:Tyrion & all that were great and/or twisted-ly funny, there was a bit more action feeling with the jousting & the end, loved the scene between the rotund bald guy and...uh, whoever that bearded guy who "still has affection for Mrs Stark" is, etc. (I can't keep all these darn names straight) “Things are as they are.

Enoch Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 loved the scene between the rotund bald guy and...uh, whoever that bearded guy who "still has affection for Mrs Stark" is, etc. (I can't keep all these darn names straight) I haven't been watching the series, but I'm guessing that you're talking about Varys (the eunuch spymaster) and Lord "Littlefinger" Baelish (the delightfully manipulative Treasurer). I'm going to wait for the series on DVD-- I'd rather read book 5 with my internal visualizations of the characters intact. The Tournament in the first book (which is what I assume the jousting bit was about) is one of my favorite parts. It's narrated from Sansa's point of view, and her naive impression of the grandeur of the spectacle is a great juxtaposition with the political subtext of everything that's going on.

Guard Dog Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'm going to wait for the series on DVD-- I'd rather read book 5 with my internal visualizations of the characters intact. I must admit that has been somewhat jarring for me. Only Tyrion & Arya come close to what I imagined.

MrBrown Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Nice ep. No surprise, since it has two of the best scenes from the first book. Ned finally gets what has been obvious all along. I hope Sansa has much less air time in the coming seasons. She's annoying, and she was in the books... Arya is surprisingly nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 This series is so up and down for me. One week I love it. The next it's "meh." Repeat forever. Also, it's been really difficult watching with my spouse, who has not read the books...because I keep wanting to holler spoilery things at the screen, but then stop myself since hubs has no clue & I don't want to ruin it. heh “Things are as they are.

Enoch Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Season 2 is going to be difficult for the producers. So much of that book is just " Good Guys make poor decisions; Bad Guys win again ." The story arcs told in the Theon, Bran, Sansa, and Arya chapters are just depressing. The audience needs at least a little something cheerful to root for. Maybe they'll follow Robb's campaign in the West , which all happened "off-screen" in the books. Apart from that, Tyrion's political maneuvering and Dany's arrival in Qarth are probably the only highnotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
