![]() Eh....Episode was ok.
I'm actually not all that happy with Dani's storyline from here on in the books. It just totally bogs down... |

![]() Boring episode. Too much Sam and Gilly. I thought it was funny how they were making some characters more dislikable right before they get rid of them.

It's HBO. They do not need a reason. And for balance they did start that scene with lesbian action. Loved the Poderick/Tyrion scene, Tywin lecturing his grandson on what makes a good king over Joffrey's corpse and Daenryus' scene. ![]() |

The Jaimie Cersei scene kind of caught me off guard. It had been a while since I read the books but I don't remember that scene being rapey in the books. I went back and re-read it and I guess it was ambiguous enough that you could interpret it as rape. But, if the goal was to continue the redemption of the Jaimie Lanister character, they writers and directors just took a huge step backwards. |

Kings Landing is screwed. He just needs to learn to fight with Bronn then take off with Bri and insult each other, screw every now and then, and have adventures with her. |

![]() I gotta be careful how I say this, but I didn't think Jaime really raped her - in the book or how they showed it. I know, "No means no, Khan" but she was kissing him back and her protests seemed more concerned with the fact they were in the sept than she didn't want to do it. It felt like a step in Jaime re-taking his mojo.
Also felt Lena Headey looked like Keira Knightly in that scene. |

Its going to be a controversial scene, no doubt. And regardless if you think it was rape or not, it is a whole lot worse looking in the TV show than it was in the book. |

![]() Cersei wasn't raped. Her protests were due to them being next to their son's dead body.
She barely tried to stop him. Her harshest protests were when he was ripping her dress to make room for spearing her. |

![]() I think this was their attempt to balance him since they lack an inner-monologue to show that Jaime still is a pretty nasty guy. For quite awhile now he has been made to look too positive but I agree, this was an odd route to take.

![]() I thought so too. The way her lower jaw was sticking out when she was talking at one point was identical to Knightly in POTC.
All in all I thought it was a good episode. There were some really strong scenes with the Wildlings, Dany, and the Hound\Arya. Of course nothing was going to match last week with Joffrey dying, but that was to be expected. |

![]() Interesting developments in this episode.
Also remind me, who are the Judges for Tyrion's trial? Tywin Lannister and Oberyn, who else? |

![]() Strong Belwas is amazing and is one of the main reasons I always tell people to read the books if they enjoy the show. Sure, he's a minor character but goddam does he bring it.

![]() True. Although I don't know how the viewing audience would have felt about a big fat guy dropping a deuce and then wiping his ass on on the cloak of the guy he just killed

![]() He was the only person that made 90 percent of the Dani chapters tolerable to me. Anyone who takes a dump on a guy's head after decapitating him gets my automatic attention for at least several books.

![]() like someone said earlier, why so much emphasis on sam and gilly?
dammit, where are all the good boob scenes? for those who didn't read the book, who poisoned the king? all fingers are pointing at tywin. he knows he can't control joeffery and he knows joeffery would be the doom of westeros. so he has him killed and molds his younger brother into the king he outta be. im shocked that tywin is not protecting tyrion. he is after all a lannister. |
