10 days to the return of the best show on TV

[chlywtr]

I actually kind of enjoyed it. Weren't any parts that tempted me to fast forward.

you fast forward parts???

 

[chlywtr]

i liked that the story stayed central to just a few archs......next week (well, in 2 weeks) will be the money shot

Pretty big deviation from the book with Sam (and the idiot drops the weapon). But they can run pretty much the same story, just with a different tone.

I do. As big of a fan as I am there are certain characters and scenes in the show that I find terrible and sometimes their scenes are overly long.

Osha's monologue about her old BFF turned wighty was the kind of filler I don't mind skipping.

This weeks sexposition scene with Melisandre was 'giggity' the first watch, pointless the 2nd.

I literally yelled "pick up the ****** blade sam"

I know you're not supposed to, but I find Loras unintentionally hilarious. Talking to Sansa about the wedding, telling some trick he just picked up his wedding plans and ruining his family's scheme, then the throw away shot of him obviously trying to pick up someone who didn't seem into it. And Cersei's comment to him that no one cares about any his father told him.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... Catelyn Stark.

cersei is pure gold...i love her (or maybe it's just Lena that i love)

i can, and can not, believe that same left the dragonglass there

i can't wait for the next episode knowing what i already know....and season 4 may be even better than season 3 (although next episode will be pretty epic in and of itself (ala blackwater last season))

 

[chlywtr]

i just hope they do her perspective next episode properly....in the books she really makes part of what is to come (although the show has kind of whitewashed her these past 2 seasons her impact on upcoming events is astronomical)

 

[armory]

It wasn't till mid season that I realized most of the best parts of book 3 won't actually be in season 3. But the most memorable scene in the series - by far - next episode makes up for it.

I'm half giddy in anticipation ... half cautiously thinking "they better not $%& it up!"

Ned losing his head, Blackwater and the event coming up. The penultimate episode always has the major event and the finale is the aftermath and set up. I might have to go back and read book 3.

She is number 1 on my hate list for sure. Ceresi would top the list but she is at least nice to look at.

I can't wait to see the non book reader reaction. I think that we are really more emotionally connected to the primarily affected character involved than in the books so it will be fun to read the comment sections to recaps.

I hope you really put in the hours on said scene. Could earn you your second (I think) Emmy.

Do you think you nailed it?

Sadly I think the show sort of telegraphed it way more than the books did. Reading it was an absolute shock, never saw it coming ... but anyone paying reasonably close attention to the show won't be that surprised.

You're giving people too much credit. People I know still can't figure out where Theon is.

that may be the problem...i have talked with quite a few non-book readers and they are clueless as to what is to come...they realize rob has messed up with the freys but they don't fully grasp who and what roose is up to......also, some still don't know who theon is hanging around with (the clues have been more than obvious yet they are still confused as to what is happening).....i think the RW, coupled with theon's friends reveal, will hopefully crystalize the entire season and prompt some to go back and rewatch so they can better grasp all that has happened.

Is anyone following this thread who hasn't read the books? If so, I'd be interested in your guesses on what might be coming up to finish out this season.

Readers have been salivating for this basically since Season 1 (and done a pretty good job not spoiling it), so I'm curious what people are imagining that could live up to the hype.

 

[NKR1978]

This is hilarious

 

[OrangeTown]

Not going to lie - I have no clue where Theon is and no clue what is going to happen to end the season.

I know many people who also do not know. I think it's more difficult for us non-book readers than you guys think. Could also be that I'm drunk every Sunday night by the time it comes on.

that i can appreciate...but look no further than the displayed banners for major clues as to who/what is happening

when it all goes down...you will plotz

I haven't read the books but I have a pretty good idea of what's going to happen.

Of course it helps that my brother, who has read the books, told me some spoilers from the books. For instance, I know that the next episode is a game changer.

Oh, and I also know who the dude torturing Theon is, but at this point I assume most people have figured out at least which family he's associated with.

 

[Guinness]

Speaking of the guy torturing Theon. I was really happy with their choice in actor. Loved him in the British tv show Misfits.
