Next week on The Walking Dead...

Have yet to watch it but being a smug book fan I already know who did it. REAL SPOILER WITHIN, DON'T LOOK AT IT UNLESS YOU READ AHEAD.

So how was the episode in itself? Or was *that* scene the only good part in it?

<---Feels smug because read it in the books.

That's the only way to do it bro, books are better.

It wasn't a great episode.

[Ozzy]

It was pretty great. All scenes worked really well and we saw some really cool stuff. 

 

The only slight drawback was the Tyrion/Shae scene which I felt was a bit weak but I haven't been overly fond of Shae's portrayal to begin with.

Shae hasn't been my favorite book to show transition

I don't like how sympathetic they're making Shae look. When Tyrion finally kills her, the way its going the show fans are all gonna take her side and you KNOW there's gonna be all sorts of sexist stuff on the web about it being abusive and etc etc etc

She deserves little sympathy in my eye, she did after all Betray HIM, not the other way around.

 

In fact i hope the keep the brutality of her execution from the novels in the show, She deserves to stare up at her killer as she was slowly strangled to death.

Just finished episode 2. Felt it was decent. Great acted by the people, but nothing overly impressive happend outside of that last scene. Was a bit disappointed by the wedding. Didn't feel as grand as it was displayed in the books, but that's just minor nitpicks.

As for Shae, I never liked her as a character, neither in the books or the show. She mostly exists to further serve Tyrion as a character but not herself. She is better portrayed in the series though.

I personally didn't like how they felt to emphasize how stupidly a-moral Joffrey is every 5 seconds. Yeah, we get it, he's a jerk. He cleans his teeth of dead babies every morning. Seem to recall a scene where he forces a ******, to torture her partner, not being part of the books. It's actually a shame that Jack Gleason is quitting acting now because he could really make it big with his performance.

[MisterJB]

I haven't seen the whole episode yet so I just want to comment how Margaery's dress looks like an RPG boss.

I swear that at any minute she'll start using those thorns as whips.

[Chewin]

@TheChris Agreed. They sometimes went a bit too far portraying Joffrey as an ass.

@MisterJB Ok, that made me laugh a little more than it should, since I as well found it a bit excessive, particularly the hair. Wonder how hard it would be to walk with hair braided that high.

VILE FIEND!

 

Tywin is a ****ing Hero!

 

[Nethalf]

Ramsay's scenes were completely OOC. It's hard to believe he would let anybody treat him like a lover or friend instead of treating him like a dreadful master.

But that was a pretty good ep tho.

[MisterJB]

I hear the Arryns are planning to change their words to "As high as Margaery's hair."

Head. Spike. Wall.

 

And seriously, MWZ, watch out for the spoilers man.

Twyin is a d*ck, a brilliant mastermind and quite terrifying in how he handles those who wrong him but a d*ck nonetheless. Tyrion is the brains of his children and he gets no respect, no respect I tell ya!

Psh, I thought this felt like a very accurate sample of the fun and games one can enjoy in  Dreadfort. Ramsay  treated her as  if she were a lover because the thought of a jealous murder game for his favor sounded like a fun idea. I don't see any reason to assume she would mean anything for him or have some special privledges that'd go outside 'rules' and code Ramsay has set for this particular game...

 

..That being said, even in books Ramsay has his own inner circle of hmm..likely minded 'friends' who allegedly are treated well enough.

 

Implied bromance between him and Vargo Hoat was much more of a That's-not-my-Ramsay! moment for me. Though it is easy to forget this is a rarely shown setting when it comes to dynamics of Dreadfort;; Roose Bolton and his men run the show, not him.

[Master Warder Z_]

He's a cowardly dwarf, Who demanded something that he had no right to.

 

._. Seriously Tywin reversed their Houses fortune, Turned them into the powerhouse they are, Ensured stability as befit his station as Warden of the West and kept the gold flowing to the Kingdom.

 

And as third child he approaches this Paragon and demands to be heir to their Ancestral Lands?

 

Despite being unwed, unbloodied and having no experience with the governing of a keep little lone an entire Realm.

 

He's a bloody murderer, nothing more.

I see your point, but she didn't look scared to me, that's what bothers me. She acted like an actual lover, not like a toy.

Your mention about inner circle however... Didn't thought much about it, but yeah, looks like I need to read the book again.

I think the same-- that's what I meant by saying 'friend'.

[MisterJB]

You'll never marry, says Loras to Jaime. Then Brienne crosses the screen.

Did you hear that? That was the sound of every Brienne/Jaime shipper fainting.

Yeah, it will be kind of interesting to see where the series goes with that. In the books Shae came across as far less sympathetic in that her feelings for Tyrion weren't genuine, and it was all an act to keep the money and jewels coming, and she not only betrays him when she gets a better off but appears to do so with glee, going beyond mere betrayal to humiliate the man. 

 

Series Shae seems more genuine in her feelings for Tyrion, and I'm guessing her later betrayal and humiliation of Tyrion are going to be presented as retaliation for the way in which he tried to send her away. "I never loved you. You're just a wh0re who has been with 500 men, ect."
