True but I was pulled out of the episode whenever he had a scene because they look so different.

Probably won't be a problem next episode though.
i could watch a whole episode of the hound saying 'cunt' tbh

We really need to make that Hound & Arya spinoff happen

are those of us who haven't read the books but have read wikis about the events which took place before the books allowed to speculate on this thread? feels like a spoiler grey zone. I have a "theory" but it's probably a well-known one amongst the book readers. I suppose it's best kept to myself.
― ryan, Monday, 7 April 2014 22:06 (ten years ago) link
for any who haven't read those wiki pre-histories I recommend it--sort of a very cool high romantic story in it's own right.
― ryan, Monday, 7 April 2014 22:07 (ten years ago) link
Heh we could start a THIRD thread for people in that situation. I can probably guess which theory you're referring to, which I don't think the show has really emphasized.
― Ned Zeppelin (Leee), Monday, 7 April 2014 22:07 (ten years ago) link
let's just say it's about parentage.
― ryan, Monday, 7 April 2014 22:09 (ten years ago) link
i read the wikis of what happens in the books and i demand a thread
― lag∞n, Monday, 7 April 2014 22:10 (ten years ago) link
Also, anyone else catch the Hound's "A man must have a code" shout out to The Wire?
― Ned Zeppelin (Leee), Monday, 7 April 2014 22:11 (ten years ago) link
yes. it was funny.
also is SIGNIFICANT CHARACTER's parentage even in question? i mean i know it's yet to be resolved but there only seems to be one credible theory. maybe it needs its own thread.
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Monday, 7 April 2014 22:13 (ten years ago) link
it is def the only theory that makes sense once you read the backstory.
― ryan, Monday, 7 April 2014 22:14 (ten years ago) link
And both the Hound and Omar have facial scars! xp
― Ned Zeppelin (Leee), Monday, 7 April 2014 22:17 (ten years ago) link
the theory is so foreshadowed in the books it's unreal and it would make no sense for it to be any other combination. probably best to go to the book thread.

who the fuck eats arms though, seriously?
I mean, I'm not a cannibal so I could be mistaken, but I wouldn't imagine there's a lot worth eating on a human arm.

Where are these wikis and are they spoiler free?

Definitely avoid the ASOIAF wiki, as it's current with the books.
― polyphonic, Monday, 7 April 2014 23:08 (ten years ago) link
haha yeah I should stress i inevitably find out more than I wanted. but on be main one there a big tab for "history" or something like that. "spoiler-free" is probably very relative but it's all basically the record.
― ryan, Monday, 7 April 2014 23:24 (ten years ago) link
I figure this show has maybe 1 or 2 more seasons of high ratings before people get tired of being endlessly strung along and things become uncontrollably convoluted and pointless

feel like this is set up such that no conclusion will be satisfying. feels like it's kinda meant to go on forever, what with the whole starting in the middle tactic and the disposability of the characters

Audience expectations for cannibals to be culinary artisans could be a result of watching Hannibal, some of these fuckers just want to chomp on yer bits!

the theory is so foreshadowed in the books it's unreal
tbh I didn't pick up on the theory until I started trawling ASOIAF wikis AKA while waiting for MOAR BOOKS/EPISODES.
― Ned Zeppelin (Leee), Monday, 7 April 2014 23:41 (ten years ago) link
Yeah I certainly wouldn't have clocked on my own. So much backstory being flung at you in the books it's hard to know exactly what is significant.

Dunno if this has all been over above already but one of my favourite things about the show is that two of my favourite characters are actors I used to be familiar with but didn't recognise them until someone else told me. Jerome Flynn from Robson and Jerome Rory Mcann, who was in an old Scottish porridge advert and a wheelchair user in the sitcom Book Group.

Okay, something new:

(In, granted, the least surprising news ever category. Still, is this the first time they've ordered two rather than one?)
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 19:12 (ten years ago) link
I wonder how many of the characters will be either dead or played by different actors that far down the line.
― Evan, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 19:51 (ten years ago) link
Mountain #8 by that point, surely.

anyone else think jaime looks hella older and gaunter this season
― socki (s1ocki), Wednesday, 9 April 2014 14:02 (ten years ago) link
also there was a lot of non-book stuff in this ep, right, like the brothel scene? in the books he actually does meet tyrion and they have a nice chat i think?
― socki (s1ocki), Wednesday, 9 April 2014 14:03 (ten years ago) link
and a bit of respect for each other?
jaime's danish accent seems way less obvious this season.
― bizarro gazzara, Wednesday, 9 April 2014 14:27 (ten years ago) link
He has a Danish accent? I thought he was a yank making a decent hack at RP.
― the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Wednesday, 9 April 2014 14:49 (ten years ago) link
yeah dude has put a lot of work in on his accent, probably especially now that he's getting US film roles
― anonanon, Wednesday, 9 April 2014 14:49 (ten years ago) link
Yeah Jaime def looks more gaunt and thin and weathered than before, by design I think
Feel like making Oberyn bi is a little bit too on the nose, was that hinted at too in the books?? NB I totally missed out on Renly in the books but it seems pretty obvious now after rereading the relevant passages
― 龜, Wednesday, 9 April 2014 15:50 (ten years ago) link
Haven't seen the new ep, haven't read the thread in a while, but I did see this:

i have no problem with making oberyn bi but it was definitely played like a "...did i SHOCK you" moment which is a bit lame in this day and age
