Game of Thrones (TV talk) (CLEARLY MARK AND TAG BOOK SPOILERS IF YOU POST THEM) (READ FIRST POST)

[solracht]

Liked the ep except for Melisandre's kinky fuckery scene. Your sheep sure is going to be afraid if you go kill him now sis. At least I got my leeches I guess. Enjoyed Stannis's speech and the wedding feast too.

They did some random changes in scenes that were pretty memorable in the books (Sansa not kneeling during the wedding for example) but no point in going autistic over them

Book 3 talk

Spoiler: show

-Loved all the random references. Randyll Tarly, Battle at the Wall, Meereen, and I think I'm forgetting a couple. I hope everything happens in future seasons

-Weren't the crows Coldhand's pets in the books? Am I remembering wrong? It's possible he sent them ahead to warn them and they'll meet him in the next episode Sam/Gilly are in. I can see how he'd be cut entirely, but I'm just saying it doesn't matter when it happens in the books since the order of the events is all fucked up. Tons of things can be added whenever the TV makers want.

-Queenscrown + Red Wedding + attack on Yunkai next episode. Unless there's a major fuck up in the episode, it could easily be the best of all seasons

I don't even want to talk about this week's episode. In two weeks we'll have the Qarth of episodes: Greatest there ever was or will be.

I liked that change.

I kept hoping that Sansa would eventually see what a good man Tyrion is, but Martin wasn't having any of that. Having the not-kneeling slight be the work of Joffrey instead of Sansa was an improvement, because that way it doesn't look like Sansa is being a bitch. And we get yet another reason to hate Joff.

Also, the crows aren't Coldhands' pets. Not sure how far you are in the books, but Coldhands serves someone else. The crows are that someone else's. Also, I wonder how much of Sam we're going to see for a while. Iirc, in the books, he kinda disappears for a while as soon as Coldhands shows up.

book 3/5

Spoiler: show

Coldhands:

I just reread the chapters an hour ago. The crows certainly "belong" to Bloodraven, but the flock is following Coldhands at this point in the books - that's all I meant. They could've been sent ahead of him to warn Sam/Gilly about the other. We might still get Coldhands later this season, or next season.

[SteveMc]

Who were the three names Stannis said? Joffery, Rob and who? I hope the Lord of Light doesn't kill Rob but I hope Joffery get's a slow horrible death, also Cersei threatening Margery was funny, I don't know why but I feel Margery is so much more of a badass than her.

Tyrion is the fucking man, is he done with Shay and other whores now he's married? If so that poor man will never get laid again.

[Nuriko]

Third name was Balon Greyjoy (who we haven't seen since mid way through last season).

Who knows what they plan to do with Shae and Tyrion going forward. Staying away from book stuff, one can assume he still plans on trying to be with Shae on the side. When she walked in she noticed Tyrion sleeping on the couch and noticed no blood on the sheets so she knows he didn't sleep with Sansa which might have scored him points with Shae since he said previously he wanted to stay with Shae even after marrying Sansa (even though Shae pretty much walked out on him when he said that).

[Viq]

Third name was Balon Greyjoy (who we haven't seen since mid way through last season).

Just as a reminder to TV dudes, Balon is Theon's dad. He named himself King of the Iron Islands, which is why he was grouped in with Robb and Joffrey as usurpers by Stannis in the leech scene.

Davos is one loyal mofo! Also when the shot was on the face of the weirwood, all I was thinking about was

Can you imagine Tyrion vs. Shae in pig jousting at Joffrey's wedding?

Shae

Spoiler: show

I can't wait for her death

whinox is gonna report the shit out of you when he sees that

but on that note about shae in the book vs show

Spoiler: show

she was always a bit more petulant and pandering in the books, no real personality. which was good for Tyrions inner conflict the whole time and made sense that she fucked Tywin leading to her death. In the show she has a bit more character and shows more affection to Tyrion. Curious how they're gonna to lead up to that after Tyrion's downfall.

[Rhinox]

Nah. Only got eyes for you boo

booky book book

Spoiler: show

I had assumed that they would play the angle that Shae gets jealous about Tyrion getting married, and decides to hop on pop. After the scene where she finds a clean bed, I fucking don't even know anymore. All I know is someone better be getting choked out by a gold chain of hands

[BadKarma]

The whole "what if I never want you too" exchange between Sansa and tyrion was awesome, you could see the pain on Tyrions face. Dinklage is boss.

And now my watch begins.

[Palin]

book 3/season 4 spoilers

Spoiler: show

I still hope they just have her up and backstab him. Makes the pain even worse, and reinforces what she herself has said millions of times: she's just a whore.

[Dominico]

Highlight of the episode was Tyrions tiny cock speech >_> Also.... 2 weeks until the best episode in the history of television? Just so people can watch Michael Douglas and Matt Damon make out? ASDJASJDAKLSDLAKJSDASD

[solracht]

Given the way Shae has been built I'd be surprised if her storyline next season is kept intact. Book Shae and TV Shae are two completely different characters.

As things are,

book 3/5 spoilers

Spoiler: show

if she lives, she'll definitely replace Penny

if she dies, I think Cersei or Tywin will have her executed, or something major will happen next season between Shae and Tyrion

Having a real hard time imagining the person that's been so close and friendly to Sansa betraying Tyrion in the trial

[Salodin]

Don't know what people are talking about, next episode is the best ep of the season/series to date with the

red wedding.
