It was that way on cable, too. I had trouble making out some of his lines.

Great episode, and the bath scene with Jaime was perfect.
Captions people, learn them, love them. HBO's sound is shit though, no doubt.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Uh, what?
Bad joke.
Damn that sucks. The sound tends to be perfect on disc though, so I guess that's something.

My big gripe with the Sansa storyline is Loras.
The writers had Tyrion point out like 3 episodes ago that Jaime, as a member of the Kingsguard, cannot marry or hold land. For life. Loras is a member of the Kingsguard. Why did they change the Sansa/Cersei betrothal to Loras instead of his unseen brother, the heir to Highgarden?

Nikolaj has been killing it since season one. The scene with Jaime/Tywin in the first season ("a lion doesn't concern himself with the opinions of the sheep") was perfect from both sides.
Episode 6 preview for those that missed it.

He's not in the Kingsguard.

He's not a member of the Kingsguard on the show, though; I haven't seen tonight's ep yet, busy cooking. I'm assuming he'll somehow join later this season to get out of the marriage
Probably because it's yet another character that people would have to keep track of. [Series]
Considering that character has not played any role in the books other than the spoken betrothal and a few other mentions, it probably wasn't worth it.

Is Loras a member of the guard in the TV series?
Because [ASoS]
he's not a member of the King's Guard on the show yet. Cercei will probably either convince him or have someone else convince him to join the KG so that she doesn't have to marry him.

Ah thanks guys. Fuzzy's explanation probably makes the most sense.

Damn, great episode. Who directed and shot it? Felt it was one of the better quality episodes of the series.
I didn't really mind the jars. I didn't feel like it made Stannis look insane, just his wife. I felt that we got to see a moment of weakness and remorse with him this episode.
In fact, about all scenes were very solid for the character development, even the short ones.

Amazing episode, amazing series.
Loving how they are starting to ramp up Arya's character a bit more since the symbolic break from hot pie. Also thought Ygritte's body was perfect. She actually looks like a wildling should probably look.

Alex Graves, same guy as episode 4.
The directing this season's been on another level.
Next episode is Alik Sakharov's, who did the second best job last season after Neil Marshall.

Still waiting for Orell to drop a "take them in the rear" line.

Why is Tormund so...lacking of mirth? He's so serious.
The directing seems great but the editing and jump cutting is poor.

He's an amalgam of Tormund and Styr the Magnar.

I actually thought the transition from Shireen's voiceover to Davos into the Dany scene was kind of rad. It almost felt like we were going to get some epic flashback.
Agreed.

Pretty emotionally heavy episode. Loved the Jaime confession, he is easily one of my favorite characters.
Good ep. Hound/Beric stuff was pretty well done, Tyrion stuff was also good. Stannis scenes were okay too, though the fetuses were indeed a little odd. I liked that ASOS
. The Jaime/Brienne scene was ace. We also got to see at least 5 different naked butts which is always a plus.
the red wedding has been foreshadowed. I feel like they needed to remind viewers of who Frey is so the event doesn't come out nowhere
This episode was written by Bryan Cogman who did episode 3 in season 2 where Arya had that good scene with Yoren. That was like the only episode in that season that she got some real development.
Seems like he is putting her story on his back because no one else knows how to.
He did very well all around in this episode. Jaimie's scene was really good, so was the reaction to the Lannister child murders.
I also liked that scene with shireen and davos. But it was a very emotionally heavy episode.
NCW is really the star this year, Jaime is amazing week to week. The bath scene was incredible, one of the highlights of the series for me.
Charles Dance and Peter Dinklage were intense in that last scene, Tywin is boss status as usual. Loved the smackdown
The Hound vs Beric was pretty good, choreography was well done and I enjoyed the fire everywhere. Didn't see the need for the babies in the jar bit, would have been fine to not have those props there. Shireen and Davos was cute, they play off each other well. Oh Oh Oh I know I know

Robb's execution of Karstark was cold, I like how they built up his hopes with the attack Casterly Rock bit even though we know what's coming.
I loved the episode, but the way (series)
they've set the table for the red wedding is a bit silly. I almost feel like making one of those memes for Robb Stark now. "Gets told he shouldn't cross Walder Frey, crosses Walder Frey. Gets told he will lose half his army if he kills Rickard Karstark. Kills Rickard Karstark, loses half his army. This show doesn't really have time to explain why Robb Stark went from an undefeated commander to the dumbest military strategist in history.
Yeah, I was scared that the Hound/Berric fight was gonna be pretty bad, considering that most of the swordfighting in the series is kinda sub-par and throwing fire into the mix wouldn't help, but they pulled it off really well. I think the actor playing Clegaine does a really good job showing his fear of fire, considering how hard a thing that would be to pull off with that character's general portrayal.
I also liked the fire to fire to fire transition from the Karstark beheading to the Arya/Beric/Thoros to the Shireen/Stannis scene.
Yeah, I thought their moment was nice. Really pushes the honorable/kind character of Davos.
I just realized what song she was singing; Love it.
Was Jaime's account of Tywin's sack of King's Landing the same as it was in the book? It almost sounded like he said that he warned the king not to trust his father, and I don't remember that from the book. It was so hard to understand Jaime's dialogue (something was seriously fucked in the mixing room), so maybe I misheard. Maybe he did warn the king in the book, but I just don't remember it.
Aah, ok. I hope they fix that mixing for the BR release.

I watched with subtitles, I don't think Jaime warned the king about his father. I think he said that Varys did. And yeah it was pretty much exactly as described in the books I think.
ASOS
I'm sure it's been mentioned already but I'm wondering if the three fetuses will take the place of the three leeches. Not sure how this would fit with Melisandre leaving Dragonstone though. Would be strange to travel a long way just to come back empty-handed.
If they're just set dressing to show how strange the wife is I wouldn't be surprised either.

Shireen was perfect. And I like how they're handling Stannis, this episode cemented it.

So many great scenes, Tywin being boss at the end, finally showing his cruel side. Great half way point ending.

Will people realize in the next episode that Robb doesn't know that Jamie has been recaptured by the Boltons still?
LOLed so hard at this

That Jaime scene. Nailed it!
He was very stoic and the scene was somber as it was with Ned.

Also, I LOVED how Littlefinger played Loras through the squire. Perfection.
