Pre-episode thoughts: Last week's post was a long post; a lot happened to reveal some important plot points, especially around Sansa--escaping, but now she's with that crazy aunt and I think she might kill her. Also, I read a few articles about Littlefinger's lies that he's been telling... and there's a lot, I can't keep up. They need to backfire on him soon.
Bran saw that funky tree--I want to know more about this, and from what I hear, there's much more on this tree within the books, but I've sworn to watch the TV series only while it's aired, and then I'll read the books afterwards.
I want Daenerys to kill someone with her hands--or a sword, not with her dragons, when she does this, I think her "innocent power thrusted" act will have worn off completely, and she will then be quite a powerful killer, and maybe people will take her seriously.
Where's Melisandre at in all of this though? She's the demon-witch-bitch lady, surely she's figured out some spell/calling/chant/ritual for her king to sit in the Iron Throne.
*spoilers*
Episode Six: The Laws of Gods and Men
It was only in last week's episode that they mentioned the Iron Bank, and this week we get to see it... well, the face of it, and it wasn't all too impressive. I wanted huge iron doors and gates, and a dragon protecting it (oh, crap, I think that's Harry Potter). Stannis was asking for them to bankroll him.
From the scenes preceding that, I gather that Stannis has their backing--right? I hope so, his scenes are usually quite boring, but they could be so much better, he has Melisandre for crying out loud, she could just kill all the major players with that shadow-demon-baby-man-thing, and I don't see why she doesn't.
Yara Greyjoy makes a surprise appearance--a small "hey guys, don't forget about me, I'm still a character don't cha kno", and I did almost forget about her. They were given Theon's mutilated penis as a present. I'm very glad they didn't show us that--it might have been a little bit too far.
The scene in which Yara tries to rescue Theon from Ramsey's clutches lasted a whole of two seconds--it was a little bit rushed, but I think that it was a well-needed scene. I'm really excited about seeing more from this storyline, mainly because Ramsey scares the shit out of me.
Tying into the being scared shitless was the DRAGON! I knew it was too quiet to be a GoT scene. Hence the image to the left, I did see a dragon--a real scary, fire breathing one.Part of me is hoping that they grow bigger, also, I want Daenerys to ride one, but I doubt she will (if she does in the books, please tell me, I need to know.) She's also becoming quite the queen, and here's hoping that G. R. R. Martin makes it so.
Tyrion is so SASSY! But Shea needs a slap, how could she stand up and tell the court that Tyrion and Sansa were planning to kill Joffrey, although I think if anything the person who did kill Joffrey deserves to inherit the kingdom--it makes sense, kill the king to be king OR queen.
Favourite Scene
Purely based on the creep factor, I have to say it's the scene between Ramsey and Theon. Ramsey is quite a creepy actor, especially when he was in Misfits--but his body is quite on-point, and that's what I like in my pathological killers. And at one point I really thought he was going to make Theon is bitch--and thank goodness he didn't, my mum was watching with me. *cue awkward eye contact* HA!
Have you watched it?
What did you think?
