cozmeesah Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Or not, lol. Stannis stans & Dany stans are equally irritating. Both characters have their strengths & weaknesses, both infuriating sequences & badass sequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) On the balance I like Dany (some of the reasons she gets hate are overblown a lot), but for reasons that are spoilers, I also see the seeds for her taking a bad turn in my eye.

It seems like Rhaegar was a boss though and (Spoiler for Book Five) Aegon is actually my number one candidate for the throne 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Extended thoughts:- Solid season premiere that did exactly what season premieres should do.- They actually toned down the Tywin/Jaime confrontation a bit (Tywin's more angry and loud in the book)- First impression on Oberyn is good. He's got the deadly flair down, though not entirely sold yet.- That new music cue for the Thenns was BADASS. Styr should be a good Wildling villain for the season.- Douche Joffrey is Fun Joffrey.- They pulled off the "crucifixion discovery scene" very well. But uh oh, the Daario subplot officially begins (at least new recast show Daario isn't a complete ass-tool like Book Daario who comes off like a bad Jack Sparrow cosplayer [and yes I know Daario was invented prior to Jack Sparrow]).- Welcome back to the show Janos Slynt, you slimy asswipe.- The inn sequence was great. It's an old-school Western quick-draw buildup followed up by some gory medieval action. Arya: "Now I have a Needle (plus a horse). Ho Ho Ho."

cozmeesah Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I LOVED that episode. Easily the best premiere out of all 4 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmeesah Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Yay that they finally had Jon show some balls too. Not just normal mopey Jon.Oh, and I went Eeeeeee when Oberyn said that Rhaegar "left his sister for another woman." Finally, a bread crumb.I was not expecting to laugh near as much as I did. There were lots of lulz in this Ep. And lots of BURNS as well. Cersei, Margaery, Tyrion, Daario, Jaime, Jon, Hound, all with zingers.

boomboom234 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Pedro Pascal is a perfect Oberyn the slow reveal of information about Rhaeger are they going to start hinting at aegon or even R+l=j soon Plus does anyone else think that the necklace will take the place of the hairnet in the next episode Edited April 7, 2014 by boomboom234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) First one: They'll lay some groundwork by dropping relevant backstory and names. Advance reviews have said that Episode 3 has Stannis and Davos reference the Golden Company as a potential source of soldiers Second one: That's what appears to be the case.

Boxx93 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Badass episode!!! That final scene with Arya was freaking awesome. Now I have to wait a whole week for the big moment in episode 2.. but it is going to be worhty of waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmeesah Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Pedro Pascal is a perfect Oberyn the slow reveal of information about Rhaeger are they going to start hinting at aegon or even R+l=j soon Plus does anyone else think that the necklace will take the place of the hairnet in the next episode First one... most definitely r+l=j. It was never said in the books by any character that Rhaegar left Elia for anyone. David & Dan know Jon's parentage and they wrote this Ep and DB Weiss directed it. I think they pretty much just confirmed that theory with that line 2nd one... Again, most definitely. As soon as I saw it I went ohhhhhhhh. Bye bye Joff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jawa Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I've never read the books, but I see Daenerys's story arc as a slow descent into evil. At the beginning of the series, we are shown her brother Viserys, an insane, entitled man who will stop at nothing to rule. We've seen bits of this Daenerys peek through. She is fond of introducing herself with all of her titles, and in flaunting the power she holds. The difference is that she is a bit smarter and more "innocent" at this point than her brother was. But eventually, I think we'll see that hunger for control is in her blood and we'll see more of a side of Daenerys that we don't like. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
