HBO's Game of Thrones

[Teebin]

The Dany/Tyrion scene is clever... doesn't seem rushed to me. Fixed.

The kid that sees things in his head, he grew up since last year. He was 13 years old last year and now he is a high school student. He's like 22 now which lowers his sympathy points for me now.

The chamber music style of many scenes sends me over the top... I am not clever enough to say why... It just gets me bigtime. Tongue hanging out of my head....

That's the trouble with having shows with kids. You can't drag this out too long because the kids grow up.

Just so you know... when the dragons first appeared I was all "Oh come on"! Yet, they sold it to me.

So, the potter actor is Frey? God I love that actor, his face and his voice. The epitome of a character!

Yep, Walter Frey is Filch. He also played William Hartnell (doctor who) in a biopic about the creation of dr who

Her mother and brother Rob were killed in the red wedding. Arya was brought there by the Hound and was there when the killing happened.

Aaaaaaah, slow as ever but now I recall her hiding behind things outside the castle. Thanks for waking up my brain.

Yeah, so it was a bit of a lame misdirection. He had a job and he was very regimented and yet, he chased after the very young boy. Rewatching, it doesn't make any sense.

All along in the books--and to a lesser extent the show--they've tried to set him (Lancel) up as a poor man's Jaime. Would make sense then that he, unlike Jamie, fails to prevent the burning of Kings Landings. Thinking this might be an interpretation of something that will hopefully be done better in the books.

Is the interior of the cathedral all CGI? Frig that is beautiful work! I dunno how they do it and it makes me really mad! I wanna know everything!

On another note, watching Cersi was like watching Tom Brady in the SuperBowl. I have never seen a character destroy so many foes in one fell swoop. Frig, frig, frig!

Trouble with Cersi is every time she solves a problem she creates a bigger one.

 

[Teebin]

And is it Sir Bron, Sir Braun? The way he talks is the way I talk.

How true, but this problem and solution gave me great satisfaction.

This season really stood out to me for music.

You took the words out of my mouth. The cello at the end reminded me of Master and Commander, one of my favorite films.

Neither lol
It's Ser Bronn

Although it sounds like Sir in the books it's Ser

GRR Martin loves his anachronisms. "Ser" instead of "Sir." Characters don't eat breakfast, they "break their fast." (Followed by a long laundry list of food.) Cersi isn't Margi's mother-in-law, she's her "mother by law" (I think that's the term he dug up). Not "midnight" but "the hour of the wolf." It takes a some getting used to, but ultimately helps in the world-building of the books.

It's Sunday. No Game of Thrones to look forward to. :cry:

No more Game of Thrones for many months.:curse:

 

[Teebin]

Yeah, they are running the entire season today. And guess what I am watching... :saywhat:

I just found out that the woman playing Lady Tyrell is Diana Rigg. I love her attitude and am very happy that she wasn't present in the cathedral.

And BTW, have any of you pondered how many great characters they killed this year. I swear it is far more than any other season.

So many entire houses have ben wiped out, never mind individual characters!

Might need to rewatch the season myself soon. That or start back at the beginning of Mad Men...

I went back and re-watched seasons 1 through 5 when I realized I couldn't recognize some of the characters returning. When the withdrawal gets bad I will re-watch season 6.
