He just reached a whole new level of cunt. (And not in the good way.)

by **Grufftoof** Mon Apr 23, 2012 12:50 pm

Not just a cunt. No. He's a blue waffle.

Anyway, the casting and acting continues to impress. I really do think there's some brilliant things going on.

But the first couple of episodes haven't been kind to Lord Littlefinger. His scenes again are just tits and arse (though that's not bad thing usually). They seem "forced in" - "hey, shit man, we haven't had any shagging this episode, lets throw in some Littlefinger". Sad, as he is such a brilliant character. I can only hope it gets less forced as the series progresses.

Pyke looked suitably cool from the far off views. And Asha/Yara was suitably handsomely strong yet sexy. Melisandre, Stannis and Davos all seem well done too. Though I do wonder how certain events close to happening will be shown. Shadows and flame and all that.

Plus Shireen's grayscale and the motley-faced Jester. How will those be done?

A lot of the show is about the feel and view of things to me. And much of it impresses.

Littlefinger had a good episode this time though. Surprised

Sexy.. she looks like a man! I prefer it as I didn't really imagine her as good looking in the book, Pyke is too rough and ready for hot women, so i do love her casting.

Shireen won't be in, they said that Stannis has no children in Ep 2 I think it was. (When Melisandre is speaking to him.. by a certain war table)

On a second note, I think Joffrey is so brilliantly cast. Watch an interview with him and he is completely different to the show. Incredibly good job on his part.

YES! The Witch woman is fucking creepy though.

It was just wrong in many levels too. Sad

But yeah, she's atleast a more interesting witch than the one that killed Khal Drago in season 1. Now that was a dull witch, and a shabby one.

by **Eowale** Mon Apr 23, 2012 8:51 pm

I can just imagine what the producers had in mind when they created that scene.

"Lets have the Witch shit out this Shadow-thing infront of this old smuggler!"

Or they were going.. "Lets copy the book."

by **Grufftoof** Mon Apr 23, 2012 10:14 pm

Vaell, that's the thing, having seen that episode I'm pretty sure Melisandre said his wife gave him "no sons". Which is true. And could leave room for Shireen. Though we shall see.

And I do think Asha/Yara was quite striking and sexy. Nothing wrong with sexy men. I am one.

/FLEX

Wait...

I look like a man, looking like a woman, looking like a man?

Ah... Yeah.

About those photos. It's not me. Honest.

by **Muzjhath** Tue Apr 24, 2012 12:41 am

I have to say that so far I don't like the portrail of Asha...
I just can't see her cocky or confident really. She seem's disgruntled and morose.

Perhaps so, but it was still a fucked up scene!

Don't you dare speak of my precious Carice-chan in such a derogative manner!

Anything that exits her vagina is glorious and beautiful by law.

Even if it's an oily, black, creepy mistlike thing?

by **Velynia** Tue Apr 24, 2012 8:46 am

Am I the only one who was unphased by that scene? It wasn't -that- bad. I found Joffrey ordering Whores to beat the shit out of each other to be more disturbing.

by **Muzjhath** Tue Apr 24, 2012 8:49 am

Same here, but I think people EXPECTED Joff to be a cunt. They didn't expect anything comming out of Carice van Houtens womb.

by **Amaryl** Tue Apr 24, 2012 9:55 am

Which is why the scene is so awesome.

A kind of Holy fucking shit!

This man, honourable and strict and stern. fucking some whore from asshai, for a weird reason? just to find out that the son that's being birthed is a fucking shadow.

The night is Dark and full of terrors.

I liked that scene.

Though I have to say the directing and camera work of this episode was superb. Don't think I've seen a better directed episode in this series yet.

The son. After a few days. At a grown man's size. Made out of shadows, when she's worshipping a Light. Yeah, Stannis sure know wtf he's doing.

by **Melnerag** Tue Apr 24, 2012 10:07 am

Shadows are children of the Light! /justify

I am -grateful- they skipped whole lot of stuff on Arya, I found the chapters of her ongoing misadventures in-between attack on the Night's Watch camp and arrival at Harrenhall about the most boring chapters in the book. So glad that they are gone! Yay.
