New HBO Series: Game of Thrones

[Numero Veinticinco]

I think it was done just right. I literally said out loud ‘oh, don’t make her get her tits out’ but honestly, it was done pretty well. It was a coming of age moment and a development for her character. 

[3 Stacks]

She's 22 in real life and 18 on the show. The problem is that she looks like a kid. Sophie Turner is the same age, but I don't think too many would be complaining if she has/had a sex scene.

 

In short, who cares and yeah, I think she said she had the freedom to show and do whatever she felt was right. 

[Pidge]

It was fine.  I just hope they aren't adhering to horror film rules...

Ha ha ha.

 

This also doing the rounds:

 

 

Google searches went mad after Arya/Gendry scence:

 

[aRdja]

I really enjoyed that. The two Lannister brothers are by far the most interesting characters left in the show. I’m convinced that Jaime isn’t going to survive this battle. When it happens I’ll be genuinely gutted I think. 

[Paulie Dangerously]

YASS QUEEN ARYA IS A WOMAN 

YASS QUEEN BRIENNE IS A KNIGHT

YASS QUEEN GIRLS RULING MRN AND DOING A GOOD JOB OF IT AND JON SNOW IS SHORT 

 

Apart from those cringe moments I was a lot more pleased than the first one. 

 

 

[Scott_M]

It was good. Next week will be carnage.

[ZonkoVille77]

I thought that was excellent. 

I was hoping that when Jamie met Bran at the tree that he'd just push him out of his wheelchair and walk off. That would be fucking hilarious as an outtake. 

 

Loads of main characters defo gone next week. Dany is going to go mad queen by the looks of things. I think the Night King has fucked off to Kings Landing to burn that lot and build up his army before heading norf. They would have shown him at the end otherwise. 

[Baltar]

It was a bit meh. A few good moments like Brienne getting knighted, Tormund's recounting of his suckling of a giant's tits, but nothing terribly interesting. This is obviously the farewell episode for many of these characters, many will be killed off over the coming episodes so they wanted to have reunions and final moments of banter. Much of it was unfunny and just a waste.

I'd like to see more of Theon, such a great character but instead we're overloaded with Tyrion and his unfunny and now not-so-clever shite.

And the explanation of the Night King's plan was crap too. All he wants to do is kill everyone because he's evil? After everything we've seen of him, can they really not come up with anything more interesting regarding his motivations?

 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Excellent episode. Rewatched it just now. Superb stuff. 

 

Edit: completely disagree with Baltar above. I thought it was classic Thrones. Funny as fuck, great character writing. All in all, just brilliant. Looking forward to the moaners moaning about the upcoming action. 

[Megadrive Man]

One thing I don't understand is why they are sending all the women and Children to the Crypt, when that's where all the dead Starks are buried? 

[Aventus]

OK episode again, a lot of calm before the storm, I reckon this'll be better in hindsight after the context of episode 3.

 

Pretty much everyone who had a "moment" in this is gonna die, grey worm/missandei, brienne, jorah, gendry/arya, edd, tormund, theon.

No focus on varys so he'll survive. The Hound needs to survive until cleganebowl so he'll be alright, he'll probably see a fire and get spooked again though. 

 

They are making a big deal about sending everyone to the crypts, which tends to be where all the main conversations and exposition happens, so I can see some important stuff happening in there. 

 

Why aren't people asking Bran more about what to do? He seems to have more of an idea about the night King than anybody else. 

No mention of the dead dragon. 

 

Seems like they've spent extra time on unnecessary fluff, and skimmed over important details. 

 

Where's Howland/Meera Reed? They are supposed to be mates with the starks but they aren't joining the battle? plus Howland can confirm Jon's lineage. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

It was okay. The calm before the storm. I'd be fairly annoyed if the lannisters come out of this winners as some kind of lesson that the good guys or those you want to win don't always . But then I want the night king to win anyway.

[skend04]

That was a great episode of telly and in hindsight you could have tacked on a lot of the more pertinent parts of the first episode on to the beginning of this. It would have been a great start to the final season.

[Pidge]

Iron bank protecting their investment as a deus ex machina?

[Funkasy]

The Symbol that Arthur Dayne has on his chest in the flash back scene, is it the same as the symbol the white walkers use ? 

 

 

Edit. Nah they dont look like at all. 

One looks like a 3 headed dragon and the other a flower or something. 

 

[Scott_M]

Rumour / theory doing the rounds that the Night King & his Dragon have by passed the north and headed straight for Kings Landing

[Bobby Hundreds]

The whole bran being the night king theory annoys me. 

[Scott_M]

I think Jon will rule the North and Daneyaris the South.

[Bjornebye]

Just finishing episode 2. Does Jamie want to fuck Brienne or what? I know he fucks his own sister but what sick fuck would want to have a go on her? 

 

Wasn't comfortable with the Arya sex scene. I thought her character was about 14 until someones said 18 above. She is like Sarah Platt. Will always look like a child. 

 

The Hound is my favourite character. 

 

Cant stand Bran. His face annoyed the fuck out of me. And his voice. 

[Paulie Dangerously]

Cersei to make a pact with the night king. Everyone you like to die

I killed a giant and slept with his wife, then she woke up and suckled me.

 

If it wasn’t for the above quip this episode would have been almost as clichéd as last week’s anticlimax.

 

Winter has arrived.

 

It’s cold and lifeless, just like the plot.

I can understand now why George R R Martin has struggled to write the final book. 

 

The great thing about GoT so far has been everyone plotting and double crossing each other, not knowing who was really working with who and what their motivations are. 

 

Now it's all a bit too straightforward, with everyone nobly lining up against the big bad - except for Cersei and Euron who everyone knows are in it for themselves - and it's a little bit... well... boring, compared to the earlier chicanery. 

 

Was good to see the tension being introduced between Jon and Daenerys - can't really see them following through on that though.

 

Still hoping for a bloody good final series with a few twists and surprises.

I disagree on that point. When you've built up the credit they have with the swerves and the betrayal, playing it straight can become the twist. 

 

The Ser Brienne thing for example. There's no other show in the history of TV that could have taken that sweet moment and have you on one ass cheek, half expecting Jaime to slice her swede off. The tension was off the charts. 

 

Then when you get that sweet moment, it adds to the satisfaction exponentially because of the trust the characters showed in each other was, for once, merited.
