I did love the dragons though, they were proper badass in this episode. I'm also finding myself more and more interesting in Jon Snow's storyline whereas before I wasn't really bothered by it.

I'm a bit short on time this week.<br /><br />I really, really hope they realize how close they have to follow the book for Episode 9. Everything hangs on the way they will handle that episode - it can either make or bury this season. The RW is why they wanted to do the show in the first place so I really hope they won't mess it up.<br /><br />Ep 8 seems like it can be pretty huge too, I'm really hoping it will end with leeches scene - there are shots of Gendry being leeched in promos and Mel standing next to the fire, I really want Stannis to threw the leeches in and set the things in motion.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-48997623621743394342013-05-14T23:57:46.302+02:002013-05-14T23:57:46.302+02:00Three weeks...because of memorial day Episode 9 is...Three weeks...because of memorial day Episode 9 is on June 2nd :/<br /><br />I love Dormer and she is great here, shame Sansa is still acting like a naive child, after her scene in 3x01 I was hoping she will be more mature this season.<br /><br />Tywin was amazing this episode.

For me, this storyline is the best handled creative departure from the books.<br /><br />The Robb/Talisa storyline bores me. Maybe because I know what happens in two weeks, but I still wish we got more of Cat's POV.<br /><br />Sansa/Margaery: I never liked Dorner's acting in her past work, and Sansa used to be best described as 'the mountain that cries', but I've been impressed by both actresses lately.<br /><br />Dany, Joff: The contrast they showed between these two child rulers was brilliant. Also loved how they showed Tywin climbing those steps and towering over Joffrey sitting uncomfortably in the throne.<br /><br />Bear pit: I agree, a disappointment. Rushed. Not enough tension, no real sense of danger, no feeling of a heroic deed done. My favorite scene in the novels comes next season (a certain bar room fight). They best not mess that one up as bad as this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597866901901238462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-47981652713765769092013-05-14T17:29:55.849+02:002013-05-14T17:29:55.849+02:00I didn't have a problem with the bear scene, b...I didn't have a problem with the bear scene, but then again it's been a couple of years since I read the books and I honestly didn't remember much about it.<br /><br />I agree that the dragons were very impressive, both within the reality of the show, and the cgi in our reality.<br /><br />I don't think I minded this episode as much as you, but that's because the pattern this season seems to be a few episodes of set up followed by a couple of great episodes. Eps 1, 2, and 3 set up 4 and 5, now it seems eps 6, 7, and 8 will be setting up 9 and 10.<br /><br />On a somewhat related note, have you ever seen School of Thrones? It's web series parody that asks what if all these families were cliques in school (Westeros Valley High) that were competing for prom king. And who's that transfer student who's REALLY into dragons? The first of three episodes can be seen here, if you are curious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY6dvlMfntw<br /><br />Another related joke: want to see the Lannister siblings during happier times?

I knew they wouldn't do a dream sequence, but I really wished they would've. I mean, they're going to have to for some of Bran's scenes in the future. I'm holding out hope that we'll get some of those great lines "I dreamed of you" and "Are you still a maiden?" in the next episode since we really didn't get to hear them talk. I'm going to be pretty pissed if we don't get them at all though. The dream line is my FAVORITE!<br /><br />The gold chains didn't click for me right away, but now they do now. I'm glad Sansa has finally admitted to how stupid she is. I like Sansa, but she's pretty daft. <br /><br />I'm really hoping all of this new stuff they are doing with Gendry doesn't mean he's not meant for something big in the books. I obviously have hopes for him and Arya to reunite, but I thought he might be the one to re-forge Lightbringer. I'm glad for more Joe Dempsie screen time, but I can't help but think of that.Brittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-33639816965664407442013-05-14T01:17:03.437+02:002013-05-14T01:17:03.437+02:00Oh yes, the first season was the closest to the bo...Oh yes, the first season was the closest to the book.

I'm kind of glad, since now I can't really be disappointed about this scene and I can still have the far more amazing reading by the time I get there. <br /><br />Also, I still can't totally love Margaery for some reason. I don't know.. maybe it's my inability to like nice girls but I can't seem to trust her at times. But I find it comforting that I'm a step closer after she defended Tyrion. Also, Sansa is so naive (in book 1 her chapters really annoy me)and still not enough Arya for me.<br /><br />Hopefully the final three will be better for you! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-67728163171379986192013-05-13T21:20:01.381+02:002013-05-13T21:20:01.381+02:00Sorry I meant to write wight - it is a creature Wh...Sorry I meant to write wight - it is a creature White Walkers bring back.
