Game of Thrones, continued

[Pearl]

Remember when the actors who play the Stark children sang to the theme song during their commentaries for Season 1's DVD?

For Season 2, they beatboxed to it:

They're awesome!

The Arya/Hound sequence at the end of this premiere is the high point of the show's entire run so far.

Sigur Rós will appear as the wedding band during the nuptials of Prince Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) and Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer). And, in typical Joffrey fashion, he treats his entertainment like garbage.

[PhilsFan]

Apparently I missed a season or two and last night's premiere was QUITE CONFUSING.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

wait, did you just watch the first season and then not bother watching 2 or 3?

 

[PhilsFan]

I wasn't aware there was a season two and three.

Spoiler

I'm joking. I couldn't get caught up in time so I've been making jokes for the last week that implied I didn't realize I wasn't caught up. I'm somewhere in the middle of the third season and will probably be caught up by next week.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

What the hell is wrong with you? You need to watch all the seasons before you watch the latest episode! Do you not understand how episodic television shows work?

 

[PhilsFan]

I will be closing down this PhilsFan account while I try to better understand the television marketplace.

 

[deep]

If one is watching back seasons on Apple TV or Amazon or any other pay per view service, why would they not only watch the 9+ rated episodes?
Just skip anything rated under 8.5. Why waste your money or time? Life is short.

The Arya/Hound sequence at the end of this premiere is the high point of the show's entire run so far.

Really? I am a big Arya fan from day one. It annoyed me that she took forever to decide to jump in and help him. He was a half second away from being dead a few times. I was happy to see the kid get her pony.

 

[deep]

and who gets the second Valyrian sword? I'd like it to be Tyrion . I guess it is Joffrey?

I hope someone else gets a hold of it and lets him have it.

 

[corianderstem]

In the opening scene, what was the deal with the animal Tywin put in the fire? Was it a direwolf? I missed the significance of it.

 

[deep]

wasn't that Ned' Stark's sword, didn't they kill a wolf at about the same time?

my guess is that the two are related.

 

[Imperor]

It was the sheath.

 

[corianderstem]

Edit: do you mean Stark's sword had a fur sheath?

I need further explanation ... sorry.

The sheath?

 

[deep]

It was the sheath.

I missed that
I'll do a rewatch.

 

[Imperor]

Edit: do you mean Stark's sword had a fur sheath?

That's exactly what I mean. The first shot of the episode is Ice being drawn from that sheath.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I really liked the debut of this Prince Martell cat. Another standout scene, and he seems like a hell of an entertaining character. And powerful. Definitely one of the better post-S1 new character introductions. Best since...Ygritte in S2 maybe?

I guess Melisandre's intro was pretty memorable, too.

This is a year old but don't remember seeing it in here. Someone posted today on FB:

Yeah he was pretty awesome.

Still missing Littlefinger tho.

Aw, fuck. I rewound to see the scene again ... but apparently didn't go back far enough.

Thanks!

What the fuck's a Lommy?

Yes, the first 30 seconds of this episode.

With HBOGo I went back to season one, episode one. When Ned Stark executes the ranger for deserting, he takes the sword out of the wolf pelt sheath that Theon is holding.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

deep is the True Detective.

 

[deep]

What the fuck's a Lommy?

Arya, Lommy, and Hot Pie

Lommy Greenhands was one of the orphan boys Yoren recruited for the Night's Watch in King's Landing .

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Actually, I take that back.

[PhilsFan]

I am all caught up with this show now. I'm starting to think that Jeffrey is a real jerk.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Jeffrey?

That's it, you blew it. Can't post about Game of Thrones here. Take your bullshit elsewhere.
