Great to finally see the Blackfish, and other stuff. :)

Agree with 95Land; though Hinds would not have been my ideal choice for Rayder, the longer I watch the show, the better he fits it.
 
you guys use fucking spoiler tags fucking asshole cunts. if you're gonna give everyone such shit for not spoiling between books and shows at least put up jesus christ.
 
I think you might be mistaking blind conjecture for spoilers. I havent read anything past the first book...
 
So upcoming spoilers (Season 3, Episode 9):

[spoil]It's named "Rains of Castamere". Oh my![/SPOIL]

Spoilers for the (Season 3, Episode 3) episode:

[spoil]That was a nice way to handle Jamie's life-changing event.[/spoil]

Non-spoilers (really):

Did anyone else find the end music odd?
 
i hated this episode.
too much rape and weird pregnant labor crying and another prostitute scene to fast forward through.

please tell me there's less weird rape.
i can't do that kinda thing on tv :(

maybe i was also feeling self-conscious cause my roommate was in the room and she is not a fantasy/GOT person..IDK.
but i really couldn't fucks with this episode. minus the 3 shining stars: the tully's, daenerys, and jaime loosing a hand.

did anyone else feel this way? i've yet to read book 3 so that could be it orrr i'm just a whiny woman whose too sensitive to rape.
womp.

i mean, if they were going for a cringing, gaping mouth, wide eyed effect they totally got it from me...i understand there are harsh rape realities, i'm not quite a sansa..but this show is so girlpower and there's dragons and cool wolves and zombies and greenseers man and like fire demons. soo can we do more magic less weird grim war raep and whatnot???? i felt like this episode was so obviously written by men (minus that one daenerys comment) idk.

maybe i'm sensitive today.
 
NSFW:
The song was great. They sung it earlier in the episode. Jaime as the maiden, Brienne as the bear. Hahahaha
Its a tv thing that made sense I thought. You have a strange ending and then cut to a rock song, X-files did this I think, Buffy probably.

I wouldn't call those spoilers, either. It's dicey posting in this thread.
IMO, anything that's occurred onscreen is fair game to discuss.

I'm halfway through "The Name of the Wind." I really like it.

This isn't directed at EW. Just generally....
I understand what others have said regarding giving stuff away that's happened in the books.
Overall, I think we've done a pretty good job balancing. Leaving info that should be general show fan knowledge untagged, and tagging stuff that might give something away.
I do get getting pissed when something slips or someone guesses right and gives something away. But, I think those occurrences have been pretty few and far between.

This series (the books) was based off of a great deal of medieval history, and the fact of the matter is, medieval knights used to love to rape entire villages after they got done with battle. So, the rape is historically accurate and not added as a mere shock factor.
 
^
True that. The more medieval European history you read, the worse knights end up looking; commoners hated them, as many of them were little more than thugs with the safety of a title. There's a case to be made that the Crusades were made partly to get rid of a large population of idle French knights who were more trouble than they were worth at home.

Someone posted this awesome bit of continuity on another site. There are no real spoilers, but still...

Why do I not fucking remember the part with the guy who saves Theon? I know the deal with the boltons, but was that part in the book? It's been literally like 5 years since I read book 3...maybe longer. It's cool because I can kinda watch the show untainted, but it makes it hard to remember what they are skipping.

Wasn't Theon missing in book 3 and they didn't know where he was?

[spoil]he's pretty much absent for all of asos and affc. he does reappear somewhat dramatically in adwd, it being revealed that he's been present in the action for a while in the guise of another character: reek[/spoil]

I can understand why you feel that way, but at the same time, I find AGoT's treatment of fantasy to be more realistic than most fantasies.

In most fantasy, war is heroic, violence either happens to nameless thugs, some dehumanized (often literally) race, or those who really deserve it. Gender roles tend to reflect modern Western sensibilities.

AGoT deconstructions that. Women in AGoT tend to occupy a position that is closer to that of medieval gender roles. Wars are often brutally violent, and those who suffer most tend to be those who lack power. Rape is whitewashed out of fantasy (as it is whitewashed out of history). AGoT does not whitewash it.
 
i know i understand all those factors and that it was realistic.
i found it to be too much for one episode though. the labor screaing all throughout craster's keep, the theon scene with the almost buttrape, the brienne scene, paired with how beaten down cat and arya are and then throwing in their typical brothel bullshit.
i feel like they could have balanced it better instead of mixing it all together.
i mean they talked about rape before, they never showed it.
they talked about pregnancy and labor, they never showed it.
why do you have to show sodomy gay rape, gang rape, nasty labor shit, and hookers all in one episode.

a bit much....
and the wailing all throughout craster's keep's scene made me literally want to throw myself out of my window. i actually had to fast forward through it.

i just think it was too much for one episode and they could have balanced these themes better and it was a big turn off for me and took away from important things and my excitement to see the tully's for instance.

i really feel like the entire episode was all of that nasty bullshit paired with arya eating bread, catelyn's family being mad awks, and the lannister's playing musical chairs.
like wtf.

totally took away from the fact daenerys is a BOSS and jaime's chopsuey!
like 10 minutes of that episode was good.

they edited it like shit and should not have thrown all those things together IMO.
