[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.
More or less everyone who isn't Ned Stark is at least in running for the title.
And, yeah. I suppose Davos isn't an entirely crap dad. I can think of a few other candidates to compete with Ned for Best Dad, but they are all obscure, off screen (Howland Reed, speculatively, on my part), and/or historical.
AAAAH! Game of Thrones was so good tonight! And now we have to wait another week! I can only assume the gentleman at the end was, in fact, Vargo Hoat.
And The Hound and Arya, together at last!
Also, the whole Arya and Bran hitting puberty thing I figured was coming on eventually finally happened.
I liked Lady Stark's story about Jon Snow. It fits so beautifully with her character.
Wow, is Margaery a player. Good bloody lord. That's a way to use what you got from Sansa.
I continue to dislike the CGI wolves.
Bran had a growth spurt. Also, having paraplegic's feet dangling that close to the ground is not a real good plan.
Love the Reeds.
I liked Lady Stark's story about Jon Snow.
Me too.
I liked Lady Stark's story about Jon Snow. It fits so beautifully with her character.
Yeah, I did too. And it seemed to do a decent job of suggesting back to some of the mystical themes of the story, as well.
Bran had a growth spurt.
And his voice dropped an octave in the last 24 hours.
Right. This is universe where she might legitimately not be full of shit in thinking that.
So, Bran has magical past- and future-seeing abilities? That means that knowledge that seems to have died with the knowers may not be totally out of reach. Yay!
Bran jerking into a sitting position jerked me out of the scene for a second. I know diddly about spinal injuries, but I do remember able people oohing and ahhing about Dean Winchester sitting straight up without hands--I'm assuming it depends on what T Bran's injury is supposed to be, right?
Hmm, I'll have to watch that scene again, ita!
Although, to a large extent, the show and book ignore realities of paraplegia. For example, lack of bowel/bladder control is not an issue that is addressed.
