Baelish and his double-crossing adventures were pretty satisfying this time.

I'm really beginning to like Baelish to be honest. Yes, he is a bit of creep,but really he isn't so bad of a guy. He avenged his love, killed the second mad king, saved Sansa more than once. Maybe he has his flaws. Maybe he's a bit misogynistic, but hey he gets the job done.

you're forgetting that he's to blame for pretty much everything

I really thought sansa was going to push them both out. hoped so anyway and then the kid follows his mom soon afterwards.

i thought the whole cast was gona follow & jump through

new season has been increasingly cheesy so far.

You can only disguise the source material for so long -- and this is coming from someone who likes the books.

SPLAT

damn...

Edited June 2, 2014 by eugene

"fuck your monologing trope, oberyn"

*CRUNCH*

really good episode even before the final splat, lots of little but meaningful things happened and it was all directed and written very well as opposed to some earlier episodes. i lolled at arya lolling at the hound, the tyrion story about the retard was good, even the sansa thing was good.

 

so who's going to save tyrion ? jimmy? the spaniard lady? the pornstar? with all the unpredictable stuff happening i really don't see him departing for now..

RIP lord of the dance imo

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

tyrion's bug speech was odd. and jamie mentioned the cousin he killed too. killed with a stone like a bug. connection? Was it just about Tyrion's lust for knowledge whereas Jamie didn't care. It was such a long scene too, is why I feel I missed something. Maybe Tyrion was imploring Jamie to care about little things (him)?

 

headsplat was a pretty shocking ending even for GoT

its not really the type of program where you can assume anyone is going to live longer than the next episode though.

Everything is foreshadowed in GoT. The mountain goes splat, splat, splat because he can.

It's kind of the show's world in a nutshell, wanton violence carried for inscrutable purposes. Dudes like Ramsey Snow, the Mountain and Joffrey kill for killing's sake. I think.

ever since ned stark's beheading one learns to keep a layer of pessimism towards future events but this time i fell for the trick. very well played. even the red wedding was sort of predictable considering robb starks stupid decisions. i just wanted oberyn to win!

I knew what was coming but thought I had been fooled, but then the splat happened. Pretty good. It's sure a way to end an episode.

who else laughed hysterically as the credits were rolling, much like arya earlier in the episode? this episode does a good job of highlighting the ridiculousness of it all while still being pretty horrifying...

 

also sansa realizing her power over littlefinger is pretty friggin sweet... does this make her the most dangerous women in westeros or whatever? as a drunken cersei once said, "the greatest power is between your legs"...

Edited June 2, 2014 by impotentwhitecapitalist

Loved the swag of sansa walking down the stairs. I almost cried " Girl Power!" out of pure joy.

 

Hated to see Oberyn go this way. If only because of that smug face of Cercei.

fuck this show. when is there going to be any hint of a payoff for the goodies. fuck this

i read all the books and im still waiting, to be honest i dont think there will be a happy ending, just an epic ending they will probably see a random character come on top.

i guess (I'm not a book wanker) that the concept is probably that Sansa or Ayra are going to be so 'street wise' after their Stark/honour upbringing that they'll reach the top and we'll be happy.

I still think the constant and cheap killing of good characters is pretty frustrating though. There are already so many characters that introducing good ones to just axe them seems pretty cruel and pointless.The Red Wedding was exceptional TV, but since then the trick hasn't worked as well.

*Spoilers for OZ, I guess*

 

 

I could see this show ending up like Oz, where 2/3 through the series pretty much every interesting character is dead and we're left with about a bunch of underdeveloped, uninteresting replacements.
