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.

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

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
― socki (s1ocki), Wednesday, 9 April 2014 16:03 (ten years ago) link
Oberyn a bit less of a cunt in the books no?
― the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Wednesday, 9 April 2014 16:13 (ten years ago) link
Been a long time but I think he comes across as more cunning and sophisticated in the books
They're really trying to play up the "this guy ain't from around here and he's not gonna play by the rules of WESTEROS" or w/e (NB before some nerd points out that Dorne actually is in Westeros 1) you know what I mean 2) those maps in the paperbacks are shit)
― 龜, Wednesday, 9 April 2014 16:16 (ten years ago) link
Oberyn's sexuality isn't hinted at in the books -- it's fairly well spelled out (or at least with characters repeating rumors). I'm more miffed that he's more White Viper than Red Viper.

I'd like Benjen Stark to come back at some point. I can't tell if we're supposed to care about his whereabouts at all or not.
― nashwan, Thursday, 10 April 2014 20:39 (ten years ago) link
well he hasn't been mentioned in like 26 episodes or so so he's probably not supposed to be at the forefront of your mind
― Clay, Thursday, 10 April 2014 20:48 (ten years ago) link
if benjen ever reappears they'll probably give you a handy flashback to remind you of who he is like with ser dontos
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 10 April 2014 20:54 (ten years ago) link
Well, in the books, Dontos turns out to be Benjen, oops, spoilers.

also agree that kingslayer has lost it :/
littlefinger better be back next ep too, rly missing him
― r|t|c, Friday, 11 April 2014 21:13 (ten years ago) link
There are at least fifteen characters in this that I would happily kill off immediately if it meant freeing up space for trash talking and machinations courtesy of Vary and Littlefinger.
Looking forward to LF's impending fatherhood issues with the creepy breastfeeding child as well.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 12 April 2014 11:47 (ten years ago) link
Varys, ahem.
There's only been this one new ep, right? Eh, it was OK. Lots of people grouching around, plus requisite gratuitous boobs/blood/dragons.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 12 April 2014 12:41 (ten years ago) link
You could reduce every episode of any good drama in the same manner.
― Evan, Saturday, 12 April 2014 14:15 (ten years ago) link
True Detective def could've used some dragons
― Roz, Saturday, 12 April 2014 14:36 (ten years ago) link
Well, not using those same elements
― Evan, Saturday, 12 April 2014 15:07 (ten years ago) link
WELL NOW

Not enough catharsis!

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 14 April 2014 02:33 (ten years ago) link
b-b-but surely we deserve an entire hour episode of Joffrey dying painfully while every possible poisoner comes up to him and explains why they might have done it.

― Evan, Monday, 14 April 2014 03:22 (ten years ago) link
Man I felt like they might have saved this for a later ep. But having it happen in the 2nd ep is pretty cool and a good f you
― 龜, Monday, 14 April 2014 03:31 (ten years ago) link
it was getting unrealistic that someone hadnt killed him yet
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 April 2014 03:34 (ten years ago) link
every scene youre just all why wont someone kill him
For real. Actually haven't seen this ep yet but I'm assuming everybody is freaking out over the death of Littlefinger?
― 龜, Monday, 14 April 2014 03:38 (ten years ago) link
yes
― lag∞n, Monday, 14 April 2014 04:04 (ten years ago) link
surprised or see that there's some debate around the internet over over the culprit(s), since it felt to me that it was definitely orchestrated by the tyrells.
― ryan, Monday, 14 April 2014 04:52 (ten years ago) link
it's good for cersei and tywin too hmm hmm
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Monday, 14 April 2014 05:31 (ten years ago) link
