Agreed! Another awesome epside! ironclad Send a noteboard - 30/05/2011 10:04:59 PM
TYWIN LANNISTER!!! Finally! And boy was Charles Dance just frakking awesome in his performance (though I wish they had shaved his head for the part!) We get our first scene with Jaime in which he is not the dominant or aggressive character, where he is on the other end of that particular stick. Something I don't remember us getting in the books until later with Jaime POVs making their debut. Still nice to see, as despite all of his flaws, Jaime Lannister is indeed one of my favorite characters in the books and show. I tend to agree with those who see Jaime as the "flawed paragon" of knighthood (his flaw being Love, much like Lancelot, though Jaime's does cause him to do very bad things for love, and he knows it). And of course, having a father like Tywin Lannister can frak just about anyone up. All three of his kids have issues, and they all probably stem in one way or another from Tywin. Looking forward to Tyrion/Tywin scenes now.

Every word from Dance was pure gold. Perfect.

I agree with someone above that the sex scene was a bit much, as much as I may appreciate such scenes in a different context. :P It did get Littlefinger's point across perfectly though, which was necessary for the ending of the episode.

Over in Essos it was nice to finally see Jason Momoa getting a chance to do something other than sit there looking tough and grim sleeping with Dany. His speech/pledge scene was pretty cool, and he did a good job it seemed with the Dothraki tongue. Considering he auditioned with a haka, I'd say the speech was the sort of bit he was hired for.

Again, agreed. That was really well done.

*spoilers for non-readers below*

I can't help but watch the show already thinking of the future. What worries me a bit is how much longer people will have to watch to see something redeeming or that makes them say: YES, take that bitch/asshole! Maybe I am forgetting something here, but up until Joffrey chokes there is just one defeat after another with very little to cheer for (maybe except for "I am the ghost of Harenhal!" ). I can see how that might make it lose some viewers who feel they are being f*cked with, with no redeeming scenes. God beware the show ever gets cancelled before we see the end of all things where everyone gets what they deserve.
*MySmiley*

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

You know, GRRM likely was very supportive of the scene..... trzaska2000 - 30/05/2011 05:10:58 PM 916 Views
Maybe, but GRRM isn't God and I allow myself to have a differing opinion *NM* Bramhodoulos - 30/05/2011 05:13:14 PM 459 Views

Is that because you know the books/story..... trzaska2000 - 31/05/2011 04:27:38 PM 895 Views
