HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)

[Simple Torture]

I'm glad they didn't really beat it over our heads that the Lanister soldiers basically offered Arya guest rite. It was juuuust subtle enough that it dawned on us just as it dawned on her.

[Norah]

I liked that scene.

[Monkey_Driven]

I liked that scene.

Me too.

[Simple Torture]

It was probably my favorite, I've thought about it a lot already. Probably the most effectively they've ever humanized soldiers; Lanister mem are usually painted as huge assholes.

[Monkey_Driven]

I would love to see more scenes like the Lannister soldier/Hound cabin scene showcasing the plight of the common people during all of this.

[Simple Torture]

So is Eastwatch going to be one of this season's set pieces?

[Norah]

It's gotta be.

Here's what worries me about the Euron scene (this is all speculation, using some clips from the trailer, but I'll put it under the tag):

Spoiler: show

I'm worried, after one good scene featuring him this week, that Euron isn't long for this world. Perhaps the gift he wants to bring Cersei is Tyrion's head? The trailers contained some scenes of a firey night battle at sea featuring at least Euron and Theon, and part of me thinks that's gonna happen sooner rather than later--by the end of the season, Dany's gotta be on actual Westorosi soil. Perhaps the 2nd half of next week's episode is Euron trying to repel Dany's fleet and failing, but Dany's so beat up that they have to recalulate (with an assault on The Rock, perhaps?). I dunno, just spitballing.

i think he's bringing cersei a dragon

[The Argonaut]

Spoiler: show

I said the words "Tyrion's fucking head" out loud when Euron talked about the priceless gift

[Norah]

Yeah but that's only good for a Lordship.

[Mecca]

Yeah but that's only good for a Lordship.

maybe thats what she had dragonstone earmarked for

[BurtReynolds]

I liked that scene.

Me too.

Thought it was over the top, but

Spoiler: show

it was nice to see she wasn't finished with the Freys.

The look on Jaime's face when Euron said "two good hands" was great.

[malice]

so is br being a dick because of my last post or is he just a dick in general?

you're a dick

[malice]

Who were the people that Sandor buried?

The single family he killed. It was a old man and his daughter.

He didn't kill them, he beat up the father, stole his silver, and told arya they'd be dead by winter anyway. They showed it as one of the opening scenes for the "previously on game of thrones" intro

[Monkey_Driven]

Can we talk about how great the Sam montage was?

[Norah]

Can we talk about how great the Sam montage was?

almost unwatchable

stylistically it reminded me of breaking bad/better call saul

[daft twat]

No one was annoyed by Ed Sheeran? That took me right the fuck out of it. Winter is coming? It's too cold outside for angels to fly.

Same.

[jwfocker]

The only thing that really bothered me was Euron's punk rock attire and black eye liner.
