It was really good. It was a reworking of the closing theme from season 1, when you first see the dragons. Great choice to expand it for Dany getting an army.
Dany's theme is really the standout motif of the series. That and probably the Theon/Iron Island one.

ok now she's broken, she needs to be nurfed, I'm not playing anymore till she's nurfed
Now I see you were wrong.
Her name is Daenerys Targaryen, Dany Stormborn, Mother of Dragons, Khalessi of the Dorthraki, Freer of Slaves, True Heir of the Seven Kingdoms, Princess of Dragonstone, Girl with Blonde Hair, Queen of the Andels and the Iron Throne, Queen across the Sea
God LORD, how many friekin names does she have?

Someone in the non-book thread actually wrote that tonight.
I'm assuming that's supposed to be ironic, but if not, WOW.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Looking forward to watching this. All the talk of cool Daenerys is good to see, even if it's predictable where her story arc is going. My housemates fucking loathe her character, and I'm personally not fond of Emilia Clarke's acting. I haven't read the books, but I get the feeling the essence of what her character is supposed to be (abused, and burdened with a sense of commitment and expectation of her bloodline) isn't communicated very well in the series.

I think this is the first episode where I was legitimately impressed with her acting. I thought she was decent in season 1, but I thought she was pretty weak in season 2. She was fucking great in this episode though.

I agree, she killed it. She should just speak in Valaryan for the rest of the series
I'd totally be down for that
Makes so much sense that it will never happen. Like a Halo movie.
However, if GRRM doesn't get his ass in gear and finish the last two books, HBO may not have a choice except to do a prequel season or two. (wishful thinking)
Kinda interesting how... (Littlefinger related)

They essentially confirm Littlefingers will marry Sansa and rally the north behind her claim. I don't think that's been made as painfully obvious in any of the books, even though that's probably the path in which he's heading

Fantastic episode. Watched with non-viewers who kinda predicted what was gonna go down with Dany, but still that sequence was beautiful from start to finish.

Yeah, unless I'm mistaken/stupid, there were little to no hints that LF was involved in the plan to get Sansa out of KL in the book. The show is basically screaming, "Sansa will escape with LF who will use her to win the north!!!"
And they also foreshadowed Robb's death there in the Varys/Olenna scene, I think. "Should Robb fall, Sansa is the key ..."

I think the fact that he doesn't actually like women is enough irony. His scene with Sansa this season is pretty hilarious already, so if there's more of that, I'm down.

Anyone else that read the books disappointed at (asos)
The prospect of Sansa marrying Loras? I always considered the prospect of Willas to be a slap in the face to Sansa and one of the factors to her leaving with Dontos. I guess they are playing up the idea that when he joins the Kings Guard, she'll have no other choice but to head out with littlefinger...

as he/she usually is
maybe they should spend a whole season counting troops. it might make it more real. hey, maybe all the "writers" in here could write that season. counting shouldn't be too tough to write.
haha, great episode. awesome to see dany wreak some shit.
Thinking about it, asos/ffc/dwd
I'm really curious as to how they'll handle Sansa's story ... both in the show and books ... does this mean varys knows sansa is in the eyrie in the books? or is it just for the show? because as far as we know in the books, only LF is aware of sansa's whereabouts ... and considering varys has guessed LF will use her for the north, it's odd that he hasn't done anything about it, especially when he's supporting aegon ... perhaps this is hinting at WoW? because we haven't really seen much from sansa's story after she escapes KL ...
Growing strong.

Dianna Rigg is the season 3 MVP. She's absolutely perfect in the role and she's stealing every scene she's in. I loved her little rendezvous with Varys. Those two play off each other magnificently.
Again with this "Pod has a big dick" shit? Where are they going with that? Are they going anywhere with that? Why would Ros discuss it with Varys (btw (ASOS)
) if it wasn't more than what it appears to be? They can't be wasting our time on something so irrelevant could they?
The scene with Arya, The Hound, and The Brotherhood was great. I thought they nailed it. I was enjoying it so much that I was really disappointed when they cut away before (ASOS)
even though I knew what was coming next with Daenerys. I almost wish they had pushed Dany's scene into to episode 5 just so we could have spent the rest of the episode with The Brotherhood. I thought they had a lot of momentum, but then they lost it all by cutting away. (ASOS)
But yeah, that last scene was pretty thrilling. It's one of my favorite scenes from the books and I thought they did it justice. It was easily Emilia Clarke's best scene on the show to date, both in terms of acting and writing. "WHERE ARE MAH DRAGONZ?!" looks even worse now in hindsight.
It was awesome to see Drogon flying around roasting fools, and that final shot of the Unsullied marching out of Astapor with the three dragons flying overhead was epic as fuck.
Your family cried when the Old Bear was killed? He really made that much of an impression on them? Whoa.
Nah, I'm okay with it. Sansa has always had a crush on Loras, so of course (ASOS)

what is Littlefinger going to do to Ros when he finds out she's Varys' spy? ;O

Beric and The Hound could fight,
The scene where The Hound kills Beric and then Thoros brings him back would have made for an awesome ending.

she'll be crushed when the Lannisters marry her off to Tyrion instead.
I think they did the right thing. (Series spoilers)
She gets married off before the Tyrell's can marry her into the family anyway, and Willas's Dad still lives, so there's little chance of Willas ever being important to the story again. It made sense to just cut him in favor of Loras. Since Loras is gay, it's kind of just as big of a slap.
I'm really glad that I turned out to be correct. That scene was absolutely amazing.
Hes got a freaky golem expression there.shitty tumblr-quality GIF but still...
yeah, Boy!
I always imagined it like this.

That's by far my favorite picture of that scene, even with Robert's hilariously impractical antler helmet.
