canuckster19 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Damn. I think we all probably had a similar reaction to the end scene. Tyrion's scene with Jamie was phenomenal. Some will really like that episode. I think it was two thumbs down, really hard down. Yeah, the focus of this episode was a bit strange, I wouldn't go so far as to give it two thumbs down, but some of the storyline progression was poorly focused IMO, particularly the John Snow/Sam one, and the highly anticipated duel was overwhelmingly underwhelming. Props to another great performance between Dinklage and Waldau, and funny seeing Lord Friendzone completely removed from the zone, poor guy.

Junkyard Dog Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 What a brutal way for the red viper to die. That might just beat the golden crown... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLASSJAW Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 yeah maybe, idk. i am personally glad most of the fights are really brief. sword fights are never really believable to me, they always seem crazy choreographed and kinda silly, so i appreciated their brevity in this series. especially in this case, since the mountain is such a giant oaf. agility obviously isn't his strong suit watching inigo montoya dance around him for 15 minutes woulda sucked that episode annoyed me so bad because i just want to know what happens next. i think i have to pick up the books now. ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I am worried for Tyrion in the next episode. His scene with Jamie though was magical. I am also curious on what now happens with Jorah since his secret was revealed. I am looking forward to in the next episode is the battle for castle black. Jon Snow I find a very interesting character. A lot of characters were left out of this episode. That left me somewhat disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rey Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Here's question - is the mountain dead? I didnt think so while watching, but I've seen a few things saying he is - yes he got stabbed in the chest, but he seemed pretty lively while being fully capable of speech and skull crushing. What gives? (spoiler in white) If you really want the answer, the book says that...(spoilers) (well not really, though it explains what happened with the mountain) Oberon's spear is coated with poison. ^ also in white Edited June 2, 2014 by Rey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Who's your guys and girls favorite characters? Dead or Alive. i like quite a few, personally. tywin is probably my favourite. but i really like varys (or however you spell it, the eunuch. altho he hasn't been around much lately), the hound, and little finger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 why? It was supposed to be a joke, since the Mountain put two thumbs down really hard into Oberyn's face. Obviously the joke bombed. The scene with Jamie and Tyrion alone was good enough to put that episode in the top two for this season (with Tyrion's trial being the top for me).

Hugor Hill Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Who's your guys and girls favorite characters? Dead or Alive. Tyrion and Sansa (I was not sure on Sansa before this episode) EDIT: my fav actors would be Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey.

Sansa upped her status as a character last episode. My favourite actor in the show is Peter Dinklage but my favourite character is Jamie. I also like Tywin, the Mountain, and Oberyn (RIP).
