Stavros Report post Posted June 3, 2013 Oh man, I'm checking out youtube reaction videos now. I've waited so long to watch people experience this collective kick in the nads. Epic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venneh Report post Posted June 3, 2013 And mine are long, and sharp my lord, as long and sharp as yours... Yeah, the next 48 hours are going to be epic, fandom reaction wise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stavros Report post Posted June 3, 2013 I'm reminded of a quote by the straightforward and remarkably simple Miss Prism from The Importance of Being Earnest- “The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means.” She was never more wrong than today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Koete Report post Posted June 3, 2013 If Michelle Fairley doesn't submit that episode for every award, I'll be shocked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venneh Report post Posted June 3, 2013 The fallout that's coming from this, show wise, is gonna be spectacular. What they showed us isn't the end of it. Book Spoiler: Lady Stoneheart is likely going to be the ending shot for Season 4, and I can't fucking wait for that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dread Report post Posted June 6, 2013 My favorite part of the episode is that it did away with the plotline I couldn't give a shit about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Preston Report post Posted June 6, 2013 My favorite part is that people are surprised. Robb and Cat had been the biggest idiots on the show for a couple of seasons. Idiots die badly in this mythology. At least Robb married a Lannister Bannerwoman in the books, not just some hot foreign girl, who served no political purpose.

dc20willsave Report post Posted June 6, 2013 I love how you go into both the series and the novels with the Starks as your main characters and then they start falling off the grid, one by one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venneh Report post Posted June 6, 2013 Honestly, I'd love to see a count of the POV/main characters throughout the books, and how many of those get killed off by each book, as a percentage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stavros Report post Posted June 6, 2013 I worked out the percentages without going into specifics on the who/what/where/when/how Of the 31 POV characters in the series 12 die (about 37%), but if you remove the prologue/epilogue characters then it's just 5 of the 24 (Just 21%) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venneh Report post Posted June 6, 2013 Still, that's a 1 to 2 in 5 chance of dying if you're a main character. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Venneh Report post Posted June 10, 2013 Also, way to make that last scene super awkward, guys. book and last night's ep in the book, the slaves are pretty much all races, not just darker skinned. the whole thing was awkwardly blocked, shot, and turned into white savior crowd surfing.

Kenny Evil Report post Posted June 10, 2013 Hannah, I assume that was because they were shooting in Morocco which is 99% Arabic. That's not just a figure, I've plucked out of the air, literally 99% of the Moroccan population is Arab-Berber and therefore would be dark skinned.

Venneh Report post Posted June 10, 2013 That's the hope, on my end. Super awkward, otherwise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dc20willsave Report post Posted June 10, 2013 Taking a moment to think on it, last week's episode with the red wedding felt like the real season finale and this week was more like the wrap up from it/let's see where everyone is coming out of season 3 and going onto season 4. Also, its nice that some of the people are actually remembering, "oh yeah, there's that wall thing." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Preston Report post Posted June 10, 2013 That's my big problem with Dany in general, she's really coming across as White Guilt: The Character. Stannis, however, is the frickin' man. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venneh Report post Posted June 10, 2013 All hail Davos Seaworth, the only decent man left in Westeros. ... He's screwed. And honestly, for splitting the source material in two, this was a relatively good point to leave the season at. You kinda had to wind down after last week, and then just start to get things ready to spring for the shitstorm that will be S4. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenny Evil Report post Posted June 10, 2013 This isn't a Game of thrones thing, it's a HBO thing. With their drama series the penultimate episode is where the big shit goes down and the final episode deals with the aftermath. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
