Could you imagine if they randomly swapped out Dinklage for

 

[Hours Left]

I'd make the same face if Oberyn said this to me.

*swoon*

 

[kmax]

This would have been perfect for Microsoft removing Kinect. Phil Spencer = littlefinger. Lysa = Kinect, or Don Mattrick.

 

[Easy_D]

A lot of my friends missed the mountain in season 2. He looked waaaaaay too different.

Almost like how a lot of us thought Danys boy toy was a new character at first.

WHAT!? I was always confused. "Wait, wasn't Daario that other, blonde dude?"

God damn, that is one hell of a recast.

 

[Suzaku]

Dat red witch... hot damn! The return of the king Hotpie. Bronn just keeping it real. Littlefinger playing the game like the pro he is. Oberon to the rescue. Just another day in the seven kingdoms.

 

[aravuus]

So good

Anyone know what the song was that played during the credits?

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

This has been GRRM's plan all along hasn't it. Make us care about two sides just as much and then force them to fight each other. It begins with Oberyn and The Mountain (aka the Lannisters).

Everything then points to a showdown at the Eyrie. We could then see The Hound vs Brienne, fighting over the Stark girls. And who knows how that could go with Littlefinger in the mix.

Who the fuck cares about the Mountain winning? Oberyn wins and Tyrion survives and doesn't have to die for a crime he didn't commit. The Mountain wins and Oberyn and Tyrion both die...

You care about Cersei and The Mountain?

 

[SeanR1221]

I care about the mountain. Dude is huge! Easily the coolest looking guy on the snow.

Nice priorities.

 

[Des0lar]

*swoon*

mhm totally

 

[Curufinwe]

Did anyone catch a single word from what Melisandre said this episode? I had some trouble following the conversation.

Also Hot Pie yeuh

I always turn on Closed Captions for GoT.

 

[SeanR1221]

Nice priorities.

It's a tv show not real life.

 

[Radec]

Damn, that preview.

Spoiler

Oberyn using a spear against a full armored Mountain.

 

[robotzombie]

nvm, good work mah man!

 

[Nibel]

Spoilers

Thanks for that fucking spoiler, good job

Edit: Nvm, fixed now, but yeah - I read it already

I ain't mad tho

 

[nubbe]

I'd make the same face if Oberyn said this to me.

*swoon*

totally homoerotic

 

[Angry Fork]

I'm so upset they didn't show the fight. I'm up to where the show is now in the books and I can read on but I really don't want to. I want to see it first and don't want to be spoiled. And now we have to wait 2 weeks, why? This sucks.

Something tells me if Oberyn wins it can't be through simply fighting and nothing else. It's hard to believe anyone can beat the mountain, and this show doesn't seem like the type to do david vs. goliath just to make people feel better (and if they were gonna do that they could just have Tyrion fight for himself). So maybe Oberyn/Tyrion will try to plan something shady to win, hopefully. Tyrion needs to live/win so we can see Tywin and Cersei's reaction.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

I know, I just think it's funny.

 

[Beeblebrox]

Damn, that preview.

Yeah, and I was even more stupid, I selected spoilered text out of habit (tho, I consider this thread spoiler-free, and I don't watch episode previews ever, so I wasn't even thinking about what I'm doing >.>). Anyways, it would be nice if we could totally avoid preview talk in this thread, but, since I just checked OP, it's fair game if it's spoiler tagged, gotta remember that. But, nevermind, no biggie, I have faith in what (I think) is gonna happen

And now I almost wrote how I didn't notice that they changed Mountain's actor, just to realise I was thinking about the Hound.

Also also, fuck yeah #teamOberyn, best new character, that scene with Tyrion was great! It's gonna be tough as hell waiting 2 weeks for the next episode :/

Edit: I think it's crazy to think of new Mountain as coolest guy on the show when we have Oberyn. But opinions and all that (you're still crazy )

 

[soundscream]

Damn, that preview.

Spoiler

Oberyn using a spear against a full armored Mountain.

Spoiler

Distance man, distance. You don't want to be close to the mountain. Who was the one person who had some success against the mountain.....Sir Loras with a lance.

 

[Radec]

Wait, Oberyn and Cercei are doing it IRL ?

:O

 

[Jonogunn]

The current mountain really is a beast. They should just keep this one around and stop changing it every season. Just like we had a million different Bobby's on Mad Men and we're on the second Daario in this show.

Second Tommen too. The guy who is playing Tommen now actually played Martin Lannister as well.

 

[gibut]

Kind of a long way down from the hole for Lysa, what do you think was going through her mind?

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

LF reminds a bit of Snape from HP series. Both did a lot if shit because they love a woman.

 

[Kozak]

argh

Man Dany's scenes are so bad..

 

[Cro-Magnon]

Kind of a long way down from the hole for Lysa, what do you think was going through her mind?

"Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? Hello, Ground!"

"I knew it, Sansa put him up to this!"

I imagine fuck you Petyr Baelish over and over and over and splat!

What would be going through anyone's mind at that point -- pure terror with no real substantial thoughts?

 

[Matt_]

I hope Robin follows his mother down that hole soon, the insufferable little cunt.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

"Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? Hello, Ground!"

Oh no, not again.

 

[Booties]

argh

Man Dany's scenes are so bad..

They always were IMO. Took a while to notice because of all the sex, drinking, blood and dragons. I think her character took a shit after she locked that guy and her hand maiden in the vault of Qarth.

Also, episode preivews are spoilers? How exactly? They are made by the same people, play after the episode airs. How is that not fair game?

 

[VanquishUK]

argh

Man Dany's scenes are so bad..

Nothing she's done recently has been worth watching. I feel like skipping her POV.

 

[Curufinwe]

I'd much rather he sticks around and gets taught some manners.

 

[Blader]

WHAT!? I was always confused. "Wait, wasn't Daario that other, blonde dude?"

God damn, that is one hell of a recast.

yeah, I don't know why they went in a complete opposite direction with his looks. At least give him a wig!

Am I the only one conflicted on the whole Oberyn vs. The Mountain thing? On one hand, I want Oberyn to win. I want Oberyn to get his revenge, I want Tyrion to live, it would be absolutely tragic to see both/either die, and The Mountain deserves to die as much as anyone. On the other, I almost feel it would be out of character for the good guys to win yet again. There's all this build up for the Craster's Keep mission, with Locke as the ticking time bomb waiting to explode...only for Locke to be unceremoniously ripped apart, and everything to go completely smoothly. Joffrey is poisoned. Dany is at the peak of her power. In general, things are going pretty well for the good guys, no?

After the last three seasons, the "good guys" are owed about a thousand more victories to make it even.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

Have they ever given reasons for some of the re-casts? It doesn't bother me, I just want to know why they happened, was it book adaptation reasons? Money?

I think I read Daario's character was cast in an upcoming Hitman reboot.

edit: Err yeah, Transporter.

Hell of a lot of characters in this show so it's difficult to make sure they're all available for shooting.

Daario is the new Transporter.

I'm trying to sell my girlfriend on the show without spoiling much for her. I already have her interest by talking about the show, but she has yet to see anything and my explanations don't really do it justice. Is there a good video compilation or promotional video I can show her to seal the deal?

Just have her watch the first episode. Bran going for a tumble always hooks people.

 

[DarkKyo]

To have blue balls he'd have to be lead on in the first place... Dany never shows him any romantic interest.

Bran falling out of the window made my girlfriend not want to watch the show for another 6 months. No lie, lol.

 

[Kozak]

The worst thing about Daario's recasting is that the show lead us to believe the Second Sons all carried the same look:

This new guy looks like any lame westerosi, not a leader of the second sons.

 

[Orin GA]

So if im hearing this right cersei has touched both her brothers penises?

GAWD!

 

[Beeblebrox]

Am I the only one who saw great GIF material in that scene where Brienne tells Pod "You were saying?"

 

[AuthenticM]

The new guy has charisma. The old one looked like a pornstar and was way too flamboyant.
