okay thanks. yeah i know beric dondarrion was the one ned sent out to get the mountain.
i just got all these random groups of people wandering around the riverlands confused haha.

and the whole reek/ramsay thing is so confusing.
thanks a lot.

also, rewatched the episode. enjoyed it a lot more, still wasn't so great but didn't feel as affected as i did the other night. maybe i was just tired and not prepared for this type of episode.

brienne and jamie had a great scene this week. my one problem -- she should have called him craven, like in the books. brienne has nothing but the highest respect for women - why would she use 'woman' as an insult? the answer is she wouldn't. great scene none the less.

ahh theon, meet ramsay snow, that bastard. i felt really bad for him when he was talking about his 'real' father, holy crap sad. but you fucking idiot, how do you not pick up on the context clue? winter is coming. the boltons are going to flay you alive. also concerned that reek has not shown. are we just avoiding that entirely? i mean, not like i desperately want to see a necrophiliac psychopath - maybe they just feel they it's not needed (yet?).

still with the podrick joke, eh? maybe we'll find out what really happened. doubt it, but i enjoy everyone's reaction to him & his time with the whores.

ahhh queen of thornes. "growing strong? most boring house words ever spoken. a golden rose and growing strong! no, WINTER IS COMING. we do not sow! direwolves and kraken, fearsome beasts! now go, my little buds, grow strong."

margary queen bitch holler back, don't think we didn't notice how the crowd screamed your name way more than your intended. and i saw the tears in your eyes, cersei. you've lost him you've lost him. i don't like what you're doing with sansa, either, miss tyrell. but we all know how that ends, don't we?

i've got a problem with the reed children and bran's storyline. i feel like it's confusing and not much is happening to help the viewer understand. i know what's happening, but not everyone's read them. they feel too vague and wishy washy. i wonder what we'll see with Robb and Jon next week, are those the only two we're missing? i think so.

eta: varys and tyrion had a great scene too, damn. for the book readers:

NSFW:
well, what are we going to do about margarey's wedding? sansa hasn't been off to the godswood to get the poisoned hairnet with the court fool, how are we going to kill that sniveling little shit joffery?
 
I was annoyed by Theon's sad little monologue. The course that his life is taking makes it very clear that he regrets, and will always regret his decisions. I don't need a teary confession about how much he loved Ned. He may have, but he fucked the Stark's over. No tears....
Theon, meet Ramsay. Ramsay, Theon.

The Podrick thing is weird. It's fine and all. Kind of funny. But, why would Varys give a shit?
It's been stated that part of why he's so effective at doing what he does is because he isn't guided by his dick. That Bronn and Tyrion needed details made all the sense in the world.

Astapor was perfect. The Unsullied are better then what's been pictured in my head, Drogon.... So good.
I haven't been completely sold on Emilia Clarke as Daenerys until that scene. When she was calling on The Unsullied to fight for her, that was it for me. I'm happy.

I don't think we're getting a Reek. Probably too late, too confusing to the shows audience, at this point.

NSFW:
Bran's storyline gets so odd. I kinda feel like they'll have to simplify the magic stuff.
Coldhand's they could pull off, but the cave? I don't know. Seems like they're gonna have to dumb it down or cut large sections completely.

I have no idea how they're gonna handle Joffrey's wedding. Things feel out of order.
I wonder if Littlefinger will actually do the deed. Drop it in the cup.
The Queen of Thorn's could tell him she knows about his perverse interest in Sansa and he can either help him and her by offing Joffrey and creating a diversion for himself. Or, she can let Tywin, Cersei and Tyrion(is he gonna marry Sansa?) know about his plans. Something like that.
That would set things up fairly well for what happens in The Eyrie.
 
Loved this episode. The Unsullied are just a great big killing machine... and with the dragon air support, I'm looking forward to this season's finale.

Yep, really great episode. Things are picking up pace.

This put me off too, and I forgot about it until you mentioned it.

Exactly. I liked her better in the book, and now that may be changing. Conversely, I like Jorah more on the show.
 
Good episode.

NSFW:
assuming the targs are who varys wants on the throne.

(All books)
NSFW:
As far as we know, his plan was always to put Aegon on the throne.

Viserys was only meant to be a distraction with his Dothraki horde (and then Viserys screwed that up).

Hypothetically, Dany could have thrown a huge spanner into his plans if she actually moved her ass off of Essos with her Unsullied army. It would have been telling to see if Viserys decided to back her or Aegon at that point. (There's a few theories about Aegon not being who he is claimed to be: such as him being a Blackfyre or a son of Illyrio; Varys may have some personal reasons for backing Aegon over Dany.)
 
Am I the only person that's a little bored by this season so far? So many things are happening at once, yet nothing happens. There's a lot of talk, and a lot of exposition, and I have very little idea what's happening with Theon, or with Arya, or with Bran. Nobody else is dizzied by the fact that there's like 30 simultaneous plots and each proceeds just a few meters per week?
 
Best episode of series 3 I think so far. Loved the ending. They have obviously upped the budget in this series with the CGI dragons
 
Well, unless they diverge from the books that's the best we're going to see from here going forward until Martin finishes writing them, hopefully without dying first.
 
Maybe it would be better if each episode focused on 1 or 2 locations? As with the battle of Blackwater Bay? I, too, noticed that actually the story of each character hardly advances in a single episode.

I've never had the books in my hands so I wonder - are particular seasons related to particular books? Like: one season - one part of the saga? If not, how much content of the books does one season cover?
 
^The seasons are covering specific books. Season one was book one, season 2 was book 2. This season is the first half of book 3. Next season will be the other half. And so on.... In book 3, there's too much happenings to cover in a 11-12 episode season.

The books chapters are told from the perspective of a particular character. They bounce around a lot. Sometimes one of the plot lines will be returned to every few chapters. Ned's, for example.
Others, like say, Davos, will have a chapter and then you may not have another one from his perspective for half the book.
The show mirrors the books as much as they seem to be able to. Davos was rescued off the little isle he was stranded on, tried to attack Melisandre, and we haven't heard from him since. I'm not hinting at anything in regard to Davos future. I'm just using him as a example of one character whose plot line will appear and then disappear for a pretty large amount of time.
In the books, there's one main character that disappeared for over 2000 pages. The show changed it, but the point withstands.
When they do reappear, it's usually apparent why they've been absent. Other times it seems to be simply because the author or the show has felt the need to resolve something else that's going on.

The other day, I was thinking about what would happen if GRRM died. He takes so long to finish the books. It's certainly not out of the question.
I really, really hope that doesn't happen. IMO, ASOIAF is second or third to Tolkien's work as far as fantasy goes. It would be fairly devastating to not have a true resolution to the story. Or have some other fantasy writer appointed to wrap things up.
It also seems a possibility that the show may catch up to the books. They may need to slow down the show even more, at some point.
That would be a interesting situation. Show goes on hiatus until he gives them more material. He needs to write faster. For like a million reasons.

For the people that are somewhat frustrated by the shows pace, I would preach patience.
The sometimes tedious pace of the early episodes was mostly necessary to set up what is to come. It will pick up more and it's gonna be good.
