They needed to visualize the sight without actually showing what he was seeing. Seemed fine to me. Did you also hate Orell's eyes turning white when he was warging?
I stand by my poorly thought out criticism!

FOR THE WATCH! FOR THE WATCH!
Lmao if people care about Ros this will be amazing

Theon scene...damn

Just finished it. I'm guessing GAF is super happy Ros bit it.
It was interesting how they turned Gendry into Edric.

I could have sworn I recall a character like her in the book, so I didn't mind her much at all.
I would've been happier if we saw Joffrey firing the bolts.
A very smart change that will likely be an improvement on the book.
His story doesnt go much further in the books does it? I kind of like the change too.
I also like the Gendry change. Rewatching the scene with Arya and ADWD
it does seem the way it was worded was more geared toward her becoming a Faceless Man than towards her killing the rest of her list. Ambiguous enough that I can't call it one way or the other. Good job on that, show runners. However, if she meets Melisandre again that means Arya comes back to Westeros or Melisandre goes back across the sea.
That episode was so bad.
Like, season two bad.
French sleeves?!? Which of the Seven Kingdoms is France?
Not one person in that entire organization noticed they reference France?
Myrish lace, Dornish lace, fuck, call it Valyrian lace.
They could at least pretend like they give a shit.

Only if at some stage he warns them about an attack from the rear.
Then I'll be good.
I agree. To me all the right moves are being made at the moment.

The gall. Next thing you know they'll let Ygritte teach Jon how to French kiss. Look on the bright side, Jaime can now eat French fries without struggle.
Gods, I hope not. What else can we be indignant about if that were the case?
Didn't he say fringed sleeves?

LOL. I was just about to post how Loras's love of fringed sleeves made me laugh out loud.
That's exactly what he said. VsRobot needs a better sound system.
Or better ears.
Just watch the dowager countess in Downton Abbey. Same character.
Bolton's restraint on that pun set up was impressive. That is why he is a lord and I am but a common man.

Ohhhh... That makes sense... But I really don't wan't ADWD
Jon to be alive or to be brought back by Melisandre
The show will eventually spoil the books. I've seen it in the flames.
Like I said before, hopefully the show doing stuff for GRRM first will help him realize what works and what doesn't work so he can make the final books better.
??? Which one you talking about? Oh, the Melisandre/Arya thing probably.
I for one like it when the show hints at book stuff. It's fun trying to figure out what the show creators know and are trying to foreshadow. Lord knows GRRM's not getting us new material for years.

Littlefinger's Chaos part was brilliant, love Varys and his scenes
Varys, while still self-serving in his own way, is probably the only one playing the game that honestly is interested in the good of the realm above all else, isn't he?
Hes a character I didnt think much of in the books, but hes become one of my absolute favorites in the show.

Rob, Ned, King Robert, Jeoffrey. Jon should be brought back
Series
We really don't know what he wants...future he doesn't do things that would be considered good for the realm

Then I will cry very, very hard
BTW I seen to know you avatar but I can't put it exactly where I saw it... Pardon my ignorance.
Well, I already ASOS
threw two leeches into the flames and said Dave and Dan's names. Awkward.
I was enjoying this season up to The Climb, hopefully tonight was an anomaly.
I was really looking forward to the Roose, Brienne, Jamie dinner scene... I don't like this Roose. I want the leech lord, not this guy. Maybe not having Roose in Harrenhaal in season two was a blessing.

Also enjoyed the big hint for Theon's torturer's identity in the background of this scene.

WKW's best movie.
Yup. Absolutely perfect. The voice. The cold eyes.
And oh man, that flaying, didn't think they would show it like that.

Sorry for the off topic.
But no, I haven't seen the movie (thanks for the tip) but I remember the actor from his role in Lust, Caution.
But going into the topic, well yes, I'm afraid that some of this "new" things are hints of future books stuff.
Well... [Series]
Nothing that isn't good for the realm assuming he thinks the Targaryens should be in power again, and he does seem to be a Targ loyalist.
Of course that does bring into issue the [ADWD Fan Theory]
Speculation that Aegon is not actually a Targaryen (much less Aegon) but rather a Blackfyre...
Loved seeing that LF/Varys scene like in S1. Those were easily my favourite additions to the story in the first season.
edit: And yes Theon and his torturer were great, a really tough-to-watch scene. series
At first I thought they should have ended it with LF's speech but I think the ending they chose was good as well. Just last week we got a crappy ending for 4 of the characters so I think it was a nice to end it with a tender moment of hope.
A really good episode, with some really beautiful shots (two I liked were the ending shots of the view, and the shot of Sansa and Loras from behind with the pond).
ASOS

I told my friends who the torturer is last week because they kept asking and saying they don't care about spoilers, and one of the friends said he read a bit about Ramsay and said he read someone say he's worse than Joff. None of them believed that. I wonder if they do now ...

So bear pit scene is next week (yasssss). Is the Tyrion/Sansa wedding, too? Or was that said to be in episode 8?
Another great episode in the best season yet.
+Thoros and Olenna are way better than their book counterparts and are great additions to the cast.
+Felt like the first time Aidan Gillen has had some good material to work with, his chat with Varys was chilling juxtaposed with Joff and Ros.
+Sophie Turner looked genuinely happy and then mortified
+Lame Lothar
-Shae's actress shows no emotion even after hearing of Tyrion's impending nuptuals
-Bran's story is treading water
Book to TV confirmation

Did the show just confirm that Joff ordered the hit on Tyrion during Blackwater?
