She's always had such a great story arch in her name and of course, as you pointed out, it doesn't hurt either that Sophie Turner's acting is developing so well. Yes, the whole depiction of Cercei thus far has been rather puzzling. Probably less so to me, than you, as I am yet to read the books. There's something of an inconsistency there - I've always loved how deliciously ruthless she's been. The writers have always been relentless. Do you remember that scene back in season 2, the Battle of the Blackwater? That was probably my favourite episode in terms of Cersei. <br />Can't wait for tomorrow's episode!

So excited for Dillane vs Gatiss! <br /><br />About the episode, I totally feel the same about Cersei. I just love her being evil. Anyway, the moment with Oberyn was great because of the two actors and loved the line about the little girls. And Headey looked as flawless as ever on the coronation. I also felt Dormer was a bit dull, not liking it. Missed season 3 Margaery. <br /><br />Loved that capture of Jorah and Dany, it was a really beautiful shot. And Eyrie is also my favorite castle. I was pretty shocked at Lysa's reveal. I actually had to rewind and listen to it again while my mind was exploding. And agree on Sophie Turner’s improvement, I’m loving her.<br /><br />When the Iron Bank was mentioned I remembered you talking about it in here! <br /><br />And LOL at this: "she is under mistaken impression that Stark children do smart things".<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-52883975551143442202014-05-09T15:57:38.731+02:002014-05-09T15:57:38.731+02:00Damn, doesn't anyone watch that 'previousl...Damn, doesn't anyone watch that 'previously on' clip before the ep?:D<br /><br />Lysa and Robin are supercreepy.

Dorne ...I did cry during that. It was so lovely :)<br /><br />Dorne is the part of Seven Kingdoms, but when it was forced to swear loyalty years back the Dornish were allowed to keep their law, traditions and titles. In Dorne they have different customs - for example according to Dornish law women can inherit, unlike in other kingdoms. Prince is the equivalent of the highest Lord - a title held by the members of the house ruling Dorne, in this case Martells.<br /><br />Haha, that would be brilliant! :D<br /><br />Sansa's in many great scenes this year, but I wonder what they'll do next year as the book material is not big for her so far.<br /><br />I hope she loses it and starts going mad and crazy during trial this episode.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-44127264977053077632014-05-06T21:16:22.964+02:002014-05-06T21:16:22.964+02:00Call me weak but I almost cried during Jon and Gho...Call me weak but I almost cried during Jon and Ghost's reuinion! Damn you Kit Harrington, stop messing with my feelings, I was never a fan of Jon Snow and what's happening now?! :D<br /><br />A bit off topic but I keep wondering why Oberyn is called a Prince of Dorne, not Lord or something like that (I'm aware that he has older brother who is ruling Dorne)? Is Dorne part of Seven Kingdoms or not? Sati, do you know something about that?<br />When I saw the scene with Oberyn writing I thought about last season's Tywin Lannister writing scenes and I thought maybe he's writing to Quentyn advising him to hurry up with packing that suitcase? ;)<br /><br />Finally - the Eyrie! I know a lot people dislike Sansa but I actually like her a lot and Sophie Turner is doing such a great job in portraying her. <br /><br />Must say I hate what they're doing with Cersei. And if they're going to keep her story like that the end of last book will almost make no sense.

They really stepped it up.<br /><br />I really don't understand what they were trying to accomplish here. Even if they wanted to get Cersei to influence the judges it would be in her character's nature to be mean and threatening not acting all defeated. And why butter up Tywin, he hated Tyrion all his life.<br /><br />They changed it/moved it sooner in the show. I keep teasing it because for non book readers it's a fog screen to make one of this season's surprises more surprising. Gatiss' character appears in ADWD, though in a pretty big way and it looks like it can have consequences in Winds of Winter.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-9212463511891906932014-05-06T19:15:32.306+02:002014-05-06T19:15:32.306+02:00I don't think so - I think Cersei tried to hav...I don't think so - I think Cersei tried to have Arryn killed, Littlefinger had it done out of his own motives before she could do it herself. End of book 3 for sure, I imagine the last Eyrie scene from book 3 is penultimate moment of the finale.<br /><br />I think there is no balance to her scenes - there should be more scenes showing her as ruthless. The good in Cersei is such a small part and yet it's the dominating part this season. That's gonna have repercussions is s5 if they don't change that.<br /><br />The Wall is actually becoming interesting this year, as long as focus is off Sam.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-37826448699797450882014-05-06T19:07:42.605+02:002014-05-06T19:07:42.605+02:00Where the F has Varys been?

I've barely cared about him in 3 seasons but like him much more in the books. This John feels more like how I think of him, especially leading into his next story arc & into ADWD stuff. <br /><br />Yeah, I got what they were trying to do with Cersei this episode as far as sucking up to the judges in the trial but it was stupid. Cersei is a manipulator, not a kiss ass. Especially when it comes to Marjorey. Also, they could have gone the same route as the books where she has it totally easy when it comes to making her case at the trial. <br /><br />Okay, you keep teasing the Iron Bank and I don't think I have gotten to what you are talking about in the books... at least I can't think of anything major (except when Cersei is like "fuck you" to them). I am about halfway through A Dance with Dragons now.

She should be smarter than that. Tyrells can still be brought to the fold by Cersei marrying Loras so Margaery could be expandable.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-18775469280533585292014-05-06T18:51:26.557+02:002014-05-06T18:51:26.557+02:00I practically don't need to watch episode afte...I practically don't need to watch episode after reading your recaps, you know! :)<br /><br />Correct me if I am wrong or if I am imagining stuff but doesn't Littlefinger get rid of Arryn for Lannisters, or Cersei specifically, after Jon Arryn finds out stuff about them? He just uses Lysa not to get his own hands dirty. That reveal didn't have any impact at all but I am glad Eyrie is getting its due though. There is so much in Book 3 that I often forget there is "something" happening there too? Do we go that far this season? End of Book 3?<br /><br />It was always established Cersei loved her children unequivocally. So I don't have problem with either of her scenes but I do have problem with humanizing, so to say, of Cersei in general. For next season to have its impact, she needs to be a cold hearted bitch and yes, if those scenes were meant to turn judges against Tyrion, they did a very poor job of conveying that.<br /><br />Karl's death was so badass! Even in the books, I usually find The Wall chapters boring but given it is to have a climatic episode this season, I think they are doing a good job of keeping The Wall things interesting.<br /><br />Can not wait for things to pick up. Please don't mess up, please!SDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331736603243732602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-34775252360946173542014-05-06T17:09:31.531+02:002014-05-06T17:09:31.531+02:00A good episode.

The scene with the Hound and Arya I liked for several reasons...her including his name on her list, his teaching her a couple lessons, her realization that he's right...it was a decent character development scene that deserves perhaps a bit more laud than it gets. <br />I understand the feelings about Hodor...and was shocked that Locke was killed...but what else were we to expect Bran to do?<br />Cersei didn't come off as kind to me, nor did Margaery come off as being cocky. I saw Cersei up to her old tricks and not to be trusted (the whole "kisses of the enemy" thing) and Margaery playing the game and acting a bit naive and trusting/fake bonding. <br /><br />Looking forward to next week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-90535498803916743252014-05-06T16:31:38.574+02:002014-05-06T16:31:38.574+02:00Glad you liked Jon!
