I dunno, I don't see how that makes a difference with the character assassinating he's been getting.
He is an asshole, but he's not a puts-the-pussy-on-a-pedestal asshole. These changes are just shit. In the book he does what he does because he feels it's right, not because he's Melisandre's lapdog.
He's not Mel's lapdog, for heavens sake, they framed the shot so you couldn't miss it; Davos (the good angel) standing on one shoulder and Mel standing on the other.
Like others, I'm very surprised they didn't pick from a wide assortment of possible shockers/scenes/etc. to tap out with, to really get people talking for months and months right till the next season arrives in 2014.
Episode was rich with character and great moments, but aside from the setup, a little unworthy of that finale triumph.
The Mysha scene tried to get some of that triumph going, but it didn't feel earned at all. As many noted, Dany really didn't do the work here, or at least, the show hasn't shown us that she's put the time in to earn that kind of loyalty and respect. The entire thing came off feeling hollow as fuck, even if she set the events in motion.
I don't know.
I'm a little gutted. I think I expected a bit more to happen this week!
Great humour all throughout though. Hodor. Blind Old Aemon with "this isn't what it looks like". Tyrion + anyone. The ladies swooning over Pod. Great stuff.

Is it just me or is Bran way more enjoyable on the show than in the books?
I just remember every Bran chapter in the books being like having my teeth pulled, while I really enjoy every scene of his in the show. The kid's a pretty solid actor, Jojen and Meera aren't annoying, and even Hodor is less Hodor-y than in the books.
I really think that particular character arc, at this point, is my biggest pleasant surprise of the series thus far.
I'm almost positive it happened near the end of ASoS
Not sure if it was my least favorite episode of the season, but it might be close.
Robbwind was creepy and didn't look as bad as that production still we had leaking around earlier. Arya's scene was great, Valar Morghulis. Walder and Bolton's little interaction was appreciated.
Bitch Stannis was disappointing, I hadn't been drinking the kool-aid about how something is wrong with his character until today. TV Melisandre has him wrapped around her finger
ASoS
Didn't expect to see Balon, thought he would die off-screen but it looks like D&D are adding some filler for Yara before the Kingsmoot and Balon meets his ignoble end.
Mhysa on TV was a terrible final shot, and came off cheesy as hell.
ASoS
No magical cliffhanger ala S1/S2, restraint with Stoneheart is good, but it should have been Coldhands in that case. Would have been a nice cliffhanger for S4
He's not Mel's lapdog, for heavens sake, they framed the shot so you couldn't miss it; Davos (the good angel) standing on one shoulder and Mel standing on the other.
I think it worked. Stannis is hard like that. Davos betrayed him and would die for it, and Melisandre of all people stepped in. It might seem off to book readers, but I think at least show readers will find it interesting.
Yikes, I thought this was a terrible episode. Its fine if nothing happens plotwise, but you've got to give some kind of lead in to the next season. The final scene in its entirety was cringeworthy, really.
Start from the first book ideally. You could start from the second, but there are a few scenes in the first book that you really should check out first, either through audiobook clips on youtube or reading the chapters themselves. But really, I would strongly recommend just starting from the beginning
That last scene was so disappointing. The whole time I was thinking, "Please don't go to credits, please don't go to credits. You have to end on a better scene."
That Dany scene was ridiculous on so many levels, and frankly, a bit worrying.
This is a city full of bed slaves and EVERY one of them is completely filthy? I'd rather have seen her making googly eyes at Daario for five minutes, okay not really but at least have them walking toward ASOS
Mereen
and talking strategy. Hell, throw the show watchers a bone and have someone say, "Hey guyz, we can buy ships and sail for Westeros now!"
Next season and the year after when Dany has AFFC/ADWD

Already read the first and the second until Dany was aquiring the unsullied. What did I miss from the first, it's been like 5 years but I can't recall any major thing that was left out. Guess ill just read online summaries until the part I left on and just skim the books to the red wedding.
Edit: wait the red Wedding is book 4? Damn transitioning is going to be cluster fuck.

Dany's story should actually break up okay, I think, as long as she's not the main action of episodes.
S4 she takes Mereen, only this time she has to actually fight for it instead of just rolling up and owning, ultimately deciding she needs to stay and rule.
S5 she learns to rule, grows increasingly frustrated with stupid bullshit going on. Also frustrated by people not liking her dragons for poaching livestock. End her season with the reveal that the dragons moved up to eating kids, lock away the dragons.
S6 is emo Dany, impending war, false Targaryen kid. Flies off on Drogon, caps the season with meeting the khalasar.
The details would need a lot of filling in, but I do think there's a bare outline that can span seasons there.
More so than that, what the fuck does she plan to do with 50 men against the Dread Fort? Hell, technically she's marching against the entire North now. Ramsay would just cut Theon up in front of Yara and let her little rag tag group break against his walls.

Exactly. I don't understand how are people even defending this shit. And by defending I mean twisting, because there's no defense for what they have done to Stannis.

I honestly felt like it was the worst episode of the series that I can remember off the top of my head. Arya's scene was practically the only redeeming moment.
I dunno about Cersei/Tyrion though. They keep giving them these scenes together liek they should be friends but theyre not due to circumstance and its just stupid. Why was Cersei even visiting Tyrion? She just came to get drunk with the brother she despises? She definitely didnt come with the intention to talk about how Joffrey saved her, but that's literally all she ended up doing.

I guess there's no extra money to be had in it, but I wouldn't mind if they went to hour and a half episodes for some of the episodes next season. I doubt they will though.
Huh? There's only a 1/3 of ASOS left, they have more time than they need. They will need to bring in later material and pad things out to make it last a whole season.
I still have no idea what you were talking about so nothing ruined.
