Hmmm...

[spoiler]They didn't seem to do much with the Sandsnake stuff - except that jail scene. Great seeing Ghost again! Oh, and I enjoyed Cersei getting tossed in jail but I'm having a hard time getting how this loony in a bathrobe seems to basically be in control of King's Landing now??!?!??[/spoiler]

[spoiler]If they stay true to the books, she won't be in charge much longer. BTW I think that was Varys in disguise who freed Tyrion but cutting the chain..
Melisandre asking for Stannis's daughter was not in the book - she does want his illegitimate nephew, but the onion knight spirits him away (which I bet he will do for the daughter now). [/spoiler]

I am finding that I like the differences from the books more and more. They are two separate universes and while some things are close, others are drastically different and I think I like it. I have the books in several formats on my shelves or on my Kindle, but this give me something new to absorb in a similar universe. I'm actually well past tired of waiting in GRRM. Unfortunately, I was one of the idiots that started this series when the first book was released and it's been a slow hell of waiting ever since.

I felt the same way about Robert Jordan. I was in too deep to give up, and was reading from the beginning.

Bahh, Jordan. I gave up about book six!

I wish that I had Rico! The writing is not much compared to GRRM (not the TV show, the books!). :)

'Who killed Asmodean?' used to drive me nuts..

Pete, I'm pretty sure the guy who cut the chain was [spoiler]Strong Belwas.[/spoiler] Great episode.

I was thinking the same thing Chris - but I rewatched that scene this AM, and he looks suspicioulsy familiar...I could be wrong though.

Bromptonboy · June 01, 2015, 09:51:27 AM

Wow! This episode knocked my socks off!
[spoiler]Amazing battle north of the wall, and I loved seeing Tyrion meet Danreys!![/spoiler]

Rico · June 01, 2015, 05:20:24 PM

Very "cool" episode! Get it! :)

Bromptonboy · June 02, 2015, 10:37:47 AM

Heyoooo!

Bromptonboy · June 08, 2015, 05:46:48 AM

I both loathed and loved this episode...

Loathing..[spoiler]What Stannis did...uggh.. very disturbing. He is move of a gray character in the books, but seemingly evil in the series now. that was very hard to watch.[/spoiler]

Love it..[spoiler]Love Doren Martel - although in the books I picture him as a wise yet suffering gouting older guy.
Danerys was superb! That was glorious when the dragon came in. I must admit, I thought her husband was going to be the leader of the Sons of the Harpy.[/spoiler]

Rico · June 08, 2015, 02:55:17 PM

Crazy episode - I'm with you Pete pretty much, the show continues to dish out the nasty....

But that ending.....

[spoiler]I was yelling for her dragon to show up and then Khaleesi closes her eyes and there he is.... SO GREAT that part...[/spoiler]
