BigDMcGee 3,353 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 i love this show. i'm reading the book and i love it too.but it sounds like there was one hell of a story before all this took place. where is the book describing the war that won robert the crown. that would've been a badass book.Yeah, that whole backstory is slowly revealed in the book ( and will, to a lesser degree, be reveled in the show).That war, and the events that lead up to it, and things that happen during it, effect and inform basically everything that happens in the show/book.

Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thoughts1) Holy F*CK. Sick Episode.2) Not enough Kingslayer. I thought my boy would be a lot more in this episode. He was only at the start of the episode when his dad was raping that donkey. 3) Who does Ned want to be King? I don't understand. I'm so confused. 4) Drago's scene where he gives that monologue near the end is the shit. I want to listen to that before every hockey game I play now. 5) The lesbian scene was pretty awesome.

king_tanner 84 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I found a link that worked from greatstufftv.comanother great episode, although I am starting to notice the exclusion of the direwolves like jadaki had mentioned earlier. Link to post Share on other sites

Jadaki 0 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 3) Who does Ned want to be King? I don't understand. I'm so confused.King Robert has two brothers, Stannis is the older one and hasn't been seen this season. Renly is the younger brother who has been around since the story shifted to Kings landing and is in a relationship with Loras Tyrell (the Knight of Flowers). Since none of Robert's kids are legitimate, they are not rightful heirs which is why when Ned was taking down the kings last commands he put in "rightful heir" instead of Joffery.However, Ned sucks at the game of thrones. Renly was smart leaving King's Landing, he knew what was about to happen.Charles Dance as Tywin was great. Link to post Share on other sites

Voldemort 0 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Charles Dance as Tywin was great.Love him but everytime I see him I see Sardo Numpsa...(or as Eddie says, "Brother Numpsey!") or Benedict from Last Action Hero with that eye. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Charles Dance = Always awesomeHaving much fun watching this. Glad they didn't waste too much time on the "Drogo care/'Drogo not care" about the iron chair thing. The wheels fell off the assissination bus and it carrened out of control into a vast chasm of horse manure. I would invade Hell for Daenerys.Also, the actor who plays the guy who revealed the poison wine looks a lot like the actor who played Mikhail in LOST (the one-eyed Russion dude), but it is not the same guy...

Gallo 1 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Rewatched all the episodes and am really glad I did. I'm not as lost as before, I still don't know everyone's names, but almost everything makes sense now and easier to follow. Link to post Share on other sites
Gallo 1 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Did Ned's own knights turn on him? Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Did Ned's own knights turn on him?Not really. His knights were already killed. He was under the impression that LittleFinger had the the city watch knights on his side but of course LittleFinger can't always be trusted. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,353 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Did Ned's own knights turn on him?No.. those were the city guards. You remember him telling little finger that he needed the "gold cloaks" on his side, and little finger said they are loyal to the man that pays them. Well, the man that paid them ( little finger) wasn't loyal to ned, so that was the betrayal. Ned's knights from the north all got speared in the back. Link to post Share on other sites
qyayqi 11 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 little finger said they are loyal to the man that pays them. Well, the man that paid them ( little finger) wasn't loyal to nedi would disagree with the details here. the kingdom is heavily in debt to the lannisters, so in fact they're the ones paying the gold cloaks. i think littefinger's quip was as much of a warning as he cared to give ned, but ned didn't stop to think it through.

But, practically speaking, it's Littlefinger who literally pays the gold cloaks, who finds the gold for them, and gives it over to them, who deals with their captains and has the loyalty of the captains. They would have backed Ned, had littlefinger ordered them to. Littlefinger backed the Lannisters, surely, because they were the wealthier and more powerful house. Link to post Share on other sites

Jadaki 0 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 This episode was written by Martin, I liked some of the stuff he tweaked. Kevin Lannister, Mirri Maz Durr and the Great Jon making appearances finally were cool. Nice to see more of the direwolfs too.Oh and Syrio's fight was excellent. Link to post Share on other sites
