PortyJambo Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I read the first 3 books or so years ago, so knew most of the earlier season surprises. This episode was one of the first that I couldn't recall what was going to happen. And I loved finally getting a GoT surprise, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Jersey_HMFC Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 They did the battle good justice but was a shame there wasn't as much build up but I suppose they had to catch up with everyone else after it being very Kings landing focused last week. 2 more to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumpy as **** - check Lots of focus on shit characters - check Egritte becoming a worse ***** after being one of the top characters - check The best character getting brutally murdered- check And worst of all, that Baylish *****'s piss poor Sean Connery impression. I cringe every time he's on screen. How the **** have they not realised how bad he is in amongst some amazing acting from people that we've never seen before and actresses from hollyoaks?

How the **** have they not realised how bad he is in amongst some amazing acting from people that we've never seen before and actresses from hollyoaks? His accent is all over the place, no idea why though as he's a good actor who has managed in other shows to do a non-Irish accent without any problem...pretty sure he even managed it in the first season of GoT (I can't remember noticing it then). It spoils any scenes with him in it, as one minute it's an Irish brogue, then suddenly it's gone again. I love Dinklage's acting too, but have to admit my attention was starting to wander during his beetle monologue. First time ever in GoT that I've started losing interest in a scene involving Tyrion.

BoJack Horseman Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Anticlimactic in what way? In that the whole build up and fight was 7 minutes long. It had no atmosphere. Felt like it was just tacked on at the end. I knew what was happening so I was concentrating on how it was happening. Had built it up to be an epic gladiator type battle and it just fell short for me. That and most of the rest of the episode was filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Tate Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 That and most of the rest of the episode was filler. Agree with the first point of slightly anti-climatic, but disagree about filler in general (beetle scene being the big exception). Mole's town attack building for next week (which should be epic), Jorah being booted out, Sansa starting to play the game, Ramsey getting legitimized and Roose taking over Winterfell, Arya finally snapping were all important moments. Only other filler was naked Mel and I can't believe anyone is complaining about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify i wasnt complaining about that at all, more so the scenes (Dany chatting to Melissandei, Mel and Grey Worm in the throne room) which followed it! Interesting how they deviated it so Hound and Arya got all the way to the Bloody Gate; another Stark reunion near miss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is though no matter how much he hates the Mountain for what he did to Elia and her kids, the mountain just the pawn and Oberyn wanted a confession naming tywin as having given the order in front of everyone , thats why he didnt finish him off...
