Game of Thrones Season Four (TV Show Only-- no book spoilers, please!) (Page 3)

My wife missed the "bombshell" reveal from the last episode...  I had to repeat it for her to catch it.I think she still has a hard time keeping everyone in order.  I have the luxury of watching the seasons twice AND reading the books (not up to speed vs the show though)...

All this time we thought the Lanistars killed the former Hand of the King (John)...  It made me chuckle to see Robin chuck the new gift through mood doors - The wife and I had to replay that little bratty scene... 

Starting to pick up.  That was a good episode...

Tyrian's speech at the end was so good, we watched it a couple times...

There are only 5 books in the series right now. And we are waiting on #6.

Here's a good recap of the last episode and it also says and did and did not happen in the books. 

Game of Thrones Recap

Just watched it last night.  Agree on Tyrian's speech.  He's one of my favorite characters in the series.

I like this alternate version of his speech

LOL, that's a great point with Sansa and the Hound.  They do seem to be taking quite a while.  

My favorite story line of last season was the Jon Snow/Ygritte love story, but they seem to be taking their time on that one.  Please don't whack Ygritte, she's my fav.  

I absolutely love the story line with Tyrion this year.  He's developed into my favorite character on the show.

I agree with you on Jamie, he is developing into a very likable character, but has a lot of past sins to atone for in my eyes.  It seems as though his time with Brienne has really changed him.  Losing his hand has also given him a dose of humble pie.  I'm genuinely curious how far he'll go.

Nah, I saw that coming the instant Littlefinger interrupted the "conversation".  I was thinking, he's going to sooth her feelings then chuck her down the hole.  I would have been shocked if he didn't.

I know this is coming from an engineer, but I have a hard time figuring out how they have an entire courtroom of stone building over air.  I suppose it cold be cantilevered over the edge, but probably it bridges a canyon - HOWEVER, you don't see any canyon walls when looking down.  Great for TV, but not sure it could be built like that. 

I had a strange uneasiness about the story line - even if I like it.  I think it's just that - it's taking WAY too long.  They have been trying to get the Irie since the Red Wedding...  Sansa, made it in a day!  Granted, had a boat.  Looks like Podrick and the knight-ess are already almost caught up.

I like to see the softness of the Hound this last episode.  It's cool to see an actor switch it up and have it believable.

I know people come and go, but honestly, it irks me that the Mountain and Dinarys main guy (she just shagged) are different actors.  I'm curious, what would the original actors have better to do than be in the biggest series made from some of the biggest books out there?  I'm sure Hollywood blockbusters are not knocking at their door.  On the flip side, keeping so many different cast member constant to keep continuity can't be easy...

OK, that makes sense now.  I was watching the last episode and trying to figure out where that guy came from.  I remembered the blond dude killing his buddies to win her affection, but hadn't seen him in a while.  Now it all makes sense.  haha
The old actor probably was told that it wouldn't be a nude scene with Dinarys, so he bounced.  ;-)

Daario Was replaced:

The Mountain was replace twice.  The picture below is from Season 1 to 2 (I think) and the bottom picture is the NEW Mountain.  I guess I don't like change, so the original (that cut off the horse's head after losing the joust) was my favorite.  Just seemed grittier/dirtier...

Form the "Previously on" I was hoping hey would bring Jaqen back, but it was one of the other dudes in the cage heckling Arya. 

But the Red Viper is BY FAR my favorite character at the moment.  dude is bad a$$

You DID read the books... right? There is something like a 800 page book where Arya and the Hound just travel... along with other characters that just travel. One book is just ALL TRAVEL. It was ridiculous! 

NO BOOK SPOILERS PLEASE   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm reading them.  Mostly trying to keep up just to get more details...  But falling behind a bit.

Reminds me of the Gunslinger Series by Stephen King - there is one book in the series that's just a giant 800 page flashback.  That takes some time to get through when all you want is a continuation of the main story line.  When they were coming out every several years?  It was heart breaking to wait 5 years for a continuation, then to have it be a giant prequel/flashback then wait years longer for the story to start again.

I assume he will...

If I recall, she needed to show the coin and say the words, and he would come/be there.

However, I forget the rules.  Did it just happen or did she need to do that to someone from Bravos?  Because she has been in a couple pretty big predicaments where she could use some help (Red Wedding) and she felt like she should "reserve" that Get Out of Jail Free card?

I have like her and Daenerys but both are turning a little dark.  Daenerys backed off her execution order, which was a relief and Arya has been on a mini killing spree...
