HBO's Game of Thrones

[Maximus]

I mustve missed the part when he was told. At the very end?

[SoCalCoug]

No spoilers, but there should be more action next week. One thing I know will happen, the other will be either next week or the following.

[SoCalCoug]

Okay, looks like two really cool action scenes will be happening.

And a huge turning point for Daenerys.

[Flystripper]

Yeah . I am really looking forward to the Unsullied acquisition.

Spoiler for For book:

I'm trying to think what those action scenes will be. I'm going to go with the Wildlings attack on the way and Beric Dondarrion's trial by combat with the Hound. I'm assuming the trial by combat will have to be next week and the attack on the wall may come later. I would also expect that we will see a huge turning point, indirectly, for Jon Snow with Jeor Mormont getting killed.

I must have missed that too.

Spoiler for The end of the episode:

I watched on HBO Go like Flystripper so what I recall is the guys letting Jaime go and then them sticking the blade in his eye and telling Jaime that they're not fools. Then Jaime starts to say "My father...." when the other guy interrupts and says to him that is all you can say, "My father, my father, whenever there is trouble you say my father." Then he says something like your father can't always save you and as a reminder....and then he chops off his hand. Then it cut to credits with what sounded like Flogging Molly. It was a weird transition but the music didn't come in when I watched until the closing credits. I believe I read somewhere that this was the first episode that the writers themselves directed.

I'm joking about the reveal, of course Jamie already knows that little Colorado City resident is his son.

OK thanks... the downloaded version i watched was indeed screwed up. The music burst in just before he puts the blade in his eye.

Spoiler for Don't read if you haven't read through A Storm of Swords (Book 3):

It really is a shame that Joffrey's days are numbered. Looks like he's toast midway through next season.

Spoiler for Don't read if you haven't read A Storm of Swords:

It is a damn shame that Joffrey's death wasn't more painful and gruesome. I would support the TV show finding a way to make that little bastard's death worse.

Holy crap what a great episode tonight. I would totally go to war for Dany.

[Surfah]

Kind of slow this week. I do love Dany.

The best episode of the season. I disagree that it was a slow episode. It was the first episode of the season that I didn't consider to be slow. They did a fantastic job with Dany's acquisition of the unsullied. Nice to see them do such a good job with one of the key points in book 3. Here is to hoping that they do the same with the remaining key plot points. I do really like the arc of Dany's story from this point until the end of book 5.

Maybe slow was the wrong word because people weren't just walking around the entire episode but this episode was a set up episode that left lots of little cliffhangers. And there was no Jon Snow and only one scene with Thyrion where he just listened. No episode of GoT can be great without the imp.

Spoiler for In case you haven't yet seen last night's episode:

As Dany was handing over the dragon, my wife turned to me and said, "The dragon's going to kill him, isn't it?" I guess it wasn't as big a surprise to her as I expected.

[SoCalCoug]

No boobs in this episode. Does that mean lots of them next week to make up?
