Can't wait for the Blackwater episode.
ReplyDeleteBlackwater is going to be amazing
ReplyDeleteAlso I saw on HBO. com that this Sunday onDemand will add 2 featurettes, one on Theon Greyjoy and the other on the religions of Westeros..... and April 15 they will release Anatomy of a Scene: Theon's Baptism.
ReplyDeleteNeil Marshall directed Blackwater episode very cool
ReplyDeleteI see that George Martin will be writing the penultimate episode this season. Nice.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for ALL episodes!
ReplyDeleteAwesome awesome awesome. Everything looks like it slots into place nicely. Cant wait!
ReplyDeletehmmm...hopefully the Theon one isn't too spoilery for non-readers. Hopefully that will be kept a good twist/shock for them.
ReplyDelete"Robb is betrayed". By Rickard Karstark?
ReplyDeleteI'm SO glad the Blackwater episode is written by Martin himself. Here's hoping it will rise up to the book readers' expectations.
ReplyDelete"Qhorin gives Jon a chance to prove himself", looking forward to it.
theres one thing about this show that i dont like.. they seem to show kings landing and the people in it.. and all the others that are at each others throats but they really dont show enough of
ReplyDeleteDaenerys Targaryen and her khalasar..seems to be one or two scenes here and there.the books are a great read..also
Or Theon.
ReplyDeleteTheon.. or Catelyn too....
ReplyDeleteReally depends on how what part of the story we are at. So hard to judge since they are adding so many new scenes for Robb...
That's because everything that's going on in the Seven Kingdoms is connected with each other, while Daenerys is just wandering around somewhere beyond the sea being, well, boring. Ever since the death of Drogo, her chapters are a snoozefest with the one exception of when she went to the House of the Undying. Also, she did have quite a lot of screentime in season 1, so I really don't know where it's coming from.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Mia said except for the snoozefest comment. I liked reading the simple stuff even about feeding the dragons etc...
ReplyDeleteAlso you said you read the books, surely then you'd know that Daenerys doesn't even have one chapter until over a 100 pages into a Clash of Kings. So. so far this season we've already seen more than we should have :)
