Oh, interesting idea particularly since Lollys doesn't seem to be anywhere.
'Objects In Space'
Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I put up my first post about the first two eps of Deadwood [link]
Man, that was much too short.
Loved the dragons burning what's his name.
The extra creepy Other (Was that Cold Hands? Because if so - he isn't quite as I imagined.)
I can't wait to see the dragons fishing while Dany et al sail to wherever is next. Well, I hope we get to see that next season.
It was a good speech.
The House of the Undying wrecked me.
Yes, that was Cold Hands. No, that's not quite how I imagined him, either. But still pretty awesome.
Yeah, I liked the choices they made with the House of the Undying. The things they left out make sense too.
Loved seeing Drogo and the baby.
Maester Lewin's farewell to Bran and Rickon wrecked me.
Loved the House of the Undying. I was wondering how they were going to fit it all into part of one ep, but I thought the condensed version worked. And the little dragons raising their heads to her when she finally walked into the center chamber! You could practically hear them say "MOMMY!!"
(Other things in that ep raise questions about how...other other things will work out later, but I assume the writers are aware and have plans.)
DH and I were watching with my in-laws last night (who have not read the books) and had to explain about Jaqen's face, and the burning of Winterfell (mainly who the hell the Boltons were). I wonder if anyone else had trouble following that?
probably since I don't know WTH you are talking about.
One thing I don't feel has handled very well this entire season is showing that Robb and Joffrey are either the same age, or within a couple of years of each other.
It's been made painfully obvious that Joffrey is a petulant teenager who's not ready to rule a kingdom, but Robb has been more or less portrayed as a young adult making adult decisions.
In the book, Robb is 16 when he marries Not The Frey Girl He's Engaged To, and everyone in his camp immediately realizes oh fuck, 16 year-old boys are dumb about girls, how did we all forget that?
I felt like there was a real missed opportunity to show Joffrey thinking carefully about breaking his vow to Sansa (or at least going through the motions) vs Robb stupidly falling in love (very different from how the two of them operate in a battle), but since the show seems to have forgotten that this is a war between two angry teenagers, the parallels weren't really there.
(I can't look up Robb & Joffrey's exact book ages right now because, shockingly, A Wiki Of Ice And Fire seems to be down.)
