AMAZING episode!
Gah, I bought the books a year ago on my Kindle Fire and have yet to crack the first open yet.
I need to say fuck it and read them, this show is so incredible I can only imagine how good the books must be.

To confirm, the whole episode is Blackwater, yes?

It's too bad GRRM is off theoretically writing two more books, his episodes of the show are so badass. It felt like it was ten minutes long. Some of the on-foot battle-y stuff towards the end felt a little TVish, but for the most part I'm surprised they pulled off the battle so well, even knowing they had Marshall on board.
It's almost too bad they had Martin do Blackwater, though. His episode last year was far and away the best at juggling all the different storylines so it feels like a bit of a waste to put him on an episode with just a handful of people in one location. I would have liked to see him handle next week's. Still, this was a hell of an hour, up there with The Pointy End and Baelor.
Hope they can carry this energy through the end. It's too bad next week will be the last Alan Taylor episode.

oh shit, forgot neil marshall directed this.
that explains a lot.

Tyrion is made of sterner stuff than that
Do you really need to post 25MB gifs? Are you trying to kill people on their phones? :lol
that's the few second CG shot with Davos ship... that is the best on the show, hands down. I keep repeating it, but it's amazing. It's easily the most impressive CG shot I've ever seen on a TV show.

Yea that explosion is so good, there's even a little wave coming off it, i was just jizzing in my pants for a whole hour
Still don't get the love for the Rains song w/ vocals. The singer goes from mumbling/not saying the last half of words to doing like american idol soul rhythm exaggerating each word ( im sure there's a musical term for that) I thought the guards and bronn singing it was awesome and I feel like there were instrumental variations of the same song like when tyrion leads the attack; similar to the variation of the opening theme like when tywin busts into the throne room
Best episode of anything on tv ever
How about a Fuck the King gif??

Full credit to Lena Headey for proving the critics wrong and owning her role this season

You know, I'm actually really happy to see this thread be so high on this episode. I'm sure the bitching will start soon (no chain, no "Renly" riding in...) but dammit, it's refreshing.
Put him on Bronn firing the arrow and we'll be set.

So is it safe to assume that
is dead, or is that not the case?

Yeah, I literally yelled "HOLY SHIT" when it happen. That definitely exceeded my expectations by a long shot.
