Caboose Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Not a fan of the casting of Mance Rayder personally. BOOK SPOILER'S: I saw from the trailer that they're bringing Theon's part in A Feast for Crows into this Season, personally can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaBestPlaceOnEarth Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I pictured The King Beyond The Wall as a much younger guy, maybe 30? 35? Oh well. Say, does anybody else see that GoT is a soap opera? It's a soap opera, right? Cut through the fantasy/HBO stuff, that's just setting and tone. Plotwise, it's a soap opera, I thought so even reading the books, I thought, "this reads more like a script than a novel," you can tell Martin was a screenwriter before he wrote it. The way he kills people off, then brings them back, the whole "powerful families vie for dominance" angle...classic soap opera stuff. I don't mean that as a put-down, I love that stuff.

SpinDrive Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Not bad at all. I hate having to wait every week for new episodes. I don't know why, but I find Davos extremely boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plotwise its not a soap opera. The plot is actually good. The only Soap Opera element is that their are multiple, co-current intersecting storylines. And the books only read like a script if you've never seen a script before in your life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved his chapters in the books. It seems like they are missing a lot of his story so that he just looks like Stannis' bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Bang Boogie Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 How did you guys like the episode tonight? Margaery Tyrell is getting hotter every episode. The actress isn't the greatest but who cares, she's hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Duke Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Still don't really understand the spoiler stuff here. If you haven't watched the ep, don't come into this thread! Unless of course these are done for the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 So hot. I'm kind of surprised that she hasn't been cast for any of the Hobbit or LOTR movies....she has definite Elfin features... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:D Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 There something off about her, like her eyes are too far apart, but she pulls it off. (Just like she "pulled it off" during that Renly scene, amirite?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troygamblefan Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 The actor playing Renly was probably "boinnggggg" when she was disrobing lol. But yes, she so FINE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EX_Bert_Worshipper Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I loved his chapters in the books. It seems like they are missing a lot of his story so that he just looks like Stannis' bitch. Totally agree. I love Davos in the books and at least the actor is portraying him as I pictured, but there is just something missing in the feel of the character in the show - can't put my finger on it. Maybe in time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 The GOT episode last night "Dark Wings, Dark Words" has to rank as about a 9.0 on the DULL SCALE - one of the worst episodes thus far in the series IMHO. As one reviewer put it quite succinctly it was "a themeless pudding" of an episode that meanders all over the place. The sliver lining - it can only get better next week with "Walk of Punishment", eh? The best scenes? Hands down... when Lady Olenna, the Queen of Thorns (played wonderfully by Dame Diana Rigg) has sit down with Margaery and Sansa and after dismissing the her husband and son as oafs gets Sansa to say what she really thinks of her rotten little ex-fiancé, Joffrey. He is a monster and Olenna responds "Hmm. That's a pity.". BTW for those who have read the books this scene is lifted pretty much straight out. For Margaery forewarned is forearmed as she does a little sexual byplay by way of the King's new crossbow. And there is more foreshadowing of an all out cat fight between Cersei and Margaery over who controls Joffrey. The Shae and Tyrion scene in his chambers was good as she taunts him and Shae telling Tyrion that they need to shield Sansa from Little Finger. As was Brienne giving Jaime a lesson in sword fighting. But the rest... not up to par but we did catch up the story lines with Arya and Theon with the first appearance of Theon's mysterious captor. (not sorry to see the little weasel tortured) as well as Bran and his dreams with the introduction of new characters Jojen Reed (a dreamer like Bran - Yoda to Bran's Luke Skywalker perhaps??) and his sister Meera who acts as his bodyguard mirroring the relationship between Bran and Osha. OK Bran... BE THE RAVEN!!! And Caetlyn's mea culpa speech over her inability to accept and love Jon Snow the bastard child of Ned Stark just did not really ring true. Next episode promo - "Walk of Punishment" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwSrJ4qOGZ8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
