  • That scene with Littlefinger in the brothel seemed pretty unnecessary to me. They could actually show Stannis's wife, daughter and the fool Patchface instead.

    That said, the scen where he wiped the girl's face off just before another man started kissing her was hilarious.

    Her doggie-style scene was ground-breaking, hard to imagine she goes from that to prude. Plus, I heard dragons love boobs.

    And yeah, Lena, my bad on spelling, it's Monday. s for 300, she has dark hair, so it's not the same. Seeing her nude as a blonde is a completely different experience (not to say it's better, she was beyond smoking in 300).

    She won't be a blonde if she does that scene correctly. They shave her. All of her.

    Theon gets shat on every episode

    This is actually funny for someone that read the book. Theon has not been "shat on" yet. Stick around though.

    I'm interested in what Theon is going to do, Im reading the book and just happened to have left off just about where this episode ended.

    I read COK awhile ago, but I don't remember that last scene with Jon in the book, I thought what happened to the male children was just inferred.

    Both the stuff with Melisandre - Stannis and then with Craster/sons is implied in the books, but never shown explicitly.

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

  • Recap of the episode.

    Starks -
    Arya - Currently known as Arry. She is traveling with Yoren, north hoping to be dropped off at Winterfell. She is traveling with med and boys heading to the Wall. Two soldiers show up and she believes they are looking for her, but they are looking for Gendry. This scene also introduces the 3 characters in the cage and especially Jaqen H'ghar, and there is also Rorge and Biter.
    Jon Snow - He is approached by Samwell and I'm assuming Gilly, a daughter of Craster, to take her back with them when they leave Craster's house. Jon gets upset with Samwell, asking him that if he loses a hand for touching a daughter, what does he think will happen if they take one. For the last scene Jon follows Craster out into the woods when he hears a crying baby. There is a shadow of someone heading back to the house and Jon goes towards the crying, behind the tree's there is something that picks up the baby and disappears, most likely an Other. Jon is knocked the eff out, I'll have to watch again to see if it was Craster or Mormont.

    Lannisters -
    Tyrion - Lots of screen time this week. Starts with a conversation with Varys, when Varys shows up at the brothel Shae is living in, or wherever Shae is. More or less tells Varys that he isn't as naive or honorable as his predecessors. He also dismisses Janos Slynt to the Wall and promotes Bronn to Captain of the Watch. Janos was the captain of the guard who captured and killed Ned Stark in season 1. Tyrion is replacing Cersei's men with his own men, and sorrounding himself with people only he trusts. Tyrion and Cersei have another conversation after he replaces Janos and he finds out that Cersei didn't order the babies to be killed. He also tells his sister that they have no way of controlling the millions of people if they become unhappy.
    Cersei - Only in the scene with Tyrion.

    Littlefinger - This week he is shown in his brothel. He gave a long speech to one of the whores, more or less telling her to enjoy what she is doing or he will send her off, but he always makes his money. I think they are trying to show the two sides of him, the cunning side and the cruel side.

    Greyjoys -
    Theon - Heads to Pyke, where his father, Balon is the 'king' or lord of the islands. On the boatride over he takes up with the captains daughter. When they land he ends up getting a ride with a woman. Theon is very cocky and thinks that every woman wants to sleep with him. He also thinks that everyone would be impressed with his return to the islands, but gets a lukewarm reception. Theon goes to his fathers castle, where again, he thinks he is going to get a warm reception, but is more or less told he is only a Greyjoy in name. At this point, Theon finds out the girl he got a ride from is his sister, Asha is her name in the books, but they are calling her Yara in the TV series. Theon gives the terms and conditions that Robb wants for an alliance, but Balon says he will take a knee to no one and burns them. He has other plans and Theon needs to decide whose side he is on.

    Balon Greyjoy- Lord of Pyke, Theon and Yara's daughter.
    Yara Greyjoy - Theon's younger sister, I believe they said she was a captain or has already captained ships.

    Targaryan -
    Daenarys - Her Khalasar is shown all laying down, starving and weak. One of the three horses returns without all of the rider, his head was in a satchel. Jorah tells Daenarys it was a message from another Khal. There are still two horsemen out there.

    Baratheons -
    Stannis - Shown to be very practical. He knows he can't win the war without his brother Renly's men. He mentions that 9 times out of 10 the man with the larger army wins, Melisandre tells him this needs to be the 10th time. Stannis asks Davos to go and make an offer to a pirate/raider named Sallandhar Xho (I'm going to have to double check the name). Davos returns to let him know Salladhar will join them. Melisandra also tells Stannis that in order for him to recieve the power of R'hllor he needs to join with her physically. During this time it is revealed his wife is in a tower.

    Davos Seaworth - It is revealed that he has lost fingers to Stannis, but he only loves Stannis or looks to him as his god. He owes everything he has to Stannis, and he has undying loyalty towards Stannis.

    I tried to sum up most of what I remembered, and I'm sure I left something important out, but I can't think of it right now. Again, I'm just trying to sum up the episode without giving too much away or sticking to what the books say either.

    The cliffhanger was stupid. So far the show hasnt really defined how close a relationship Ghost and Jon have. No way in hell Jon would be wondering around in the woods and Ghost not be near him. If Craster tried that shit in the book, Ghost would have ripped his head off.

    Yeah, I'm a little disappointed in how far the show is already deviating - the closeness between the Starks and their Direwolves being one of those things. Having said that, it's still been awesome so far.

  • Next episode should be pretty good especially with aria

    ElmSt

  • I have read all the books so it is easy for me to know all the characters, but it must be confusing to keep all of them in line if you are just watching the show.

    There are literally 20 characters that are all important, and the list only grows. Obviously some more important than others, but still.

    And a lot of main characters get very little air time simply due to there being too many characters to cram.

    You forgot the critical part of Theon feeling up (and down) his sister. On a horse. Bobby Petrino style.

    Yeah, I've read all the books so it's easy for me to follow. But my gf hasn't read any of them and she is totally lost right now.

    Then again, she has horrible ADD, which might have something to do with it.

    FWIW, i think Shae is in the Red Keep right now, another deviation from the books.

    They don't use Rorge or Biter's names yet. H'ghar looks appropriate, especially with the half white half red hair.

    Not sure why they felt compelled to show more of Craster. They need to get going out of there.

    I didn't think Stannis' wife was sick and was actually one of the main people leading the "Lord of Light" movement".

    I think part of the difficulty is how much they cost to animate the wolves. So far we have seen 1 dragon and 2 direwolves. Plus the first half of CoK was kind of boring, as so many different houses were introduced, especially all the houses in the north and those that flew banners for the Lannisters.

    Good call on Shae, I just didn't know where to place her.

    I think you are correct about Stannis' wife, and I'm guessing that they will need to write some excuses not to have certain characters around, otherwise they will need a cast of about 50 main characters.

    My writeups I'm just trying to stick to what happened in that episode and not really embelish too much.

    Keep in mind during this season, that they are re-writing a lot to shift some material from the third book for use this season.

    A book can ignore characters for long stretches then bring them back. A TV series needs to take a different approach. Look for plot and story details to be rearranged and restructured as the series moves forward. They are working closely with Martin to make this happen the best way possible, but the way this story is told by HBO is going to continue to differ from the books.
