HBO: Game of Thrones
- Thread starter Neshani
- Start date
It's nice not having the 'books vs show' mentality in every scene. It's freeing having mostly everything be fresh and new. Makes this simple episode seem way deeper and heavier like every single scene is great. This seems like one of the best episodes in quite awhile hope this whole season feels like this
And what's up with Victarion did i miss something? Is he a two in one character now? Euron / Victarion
Ok seems like that guy is supposed to be Euron, i confused it. RIP Victarion would've been a cool character for the show

I think it's an Euron/Victarion hybrid. Sometimes they take a couple or even a few characters and essentially make them one person on the show. Probably a little easier to follow on TV that way then introducing more characters.
Yeah it's the same actor that's been playing the mountain since whatever season it was with the red viper, the #2 world's strongman dude or whatever. Oh you're talking about the flasher lol yeah same dude same actor. I remember he did an AMA on reddit after the walk of shame it was kinda funny, he got a late notice audition that was "English man willing to expose himself, unshaved" or something like that and he was like fuck it, here's my chance! Good to see they brought him back for continuity lol

The actor did an awesome job, kinda sad to see him go.
To butchers point I'm sure the book will be totally different here. The show basically streamlined our hate into one person in Ramsey. Iirc it's said that Ramsey had killed his previous son, poison I believe but never proven. Perhaps he had a blind spot for Ramsey like Tywin Lannister did of Tyrion, never believing he'd kill him even when he had a crossbow aimed at him. Or maybe he was planning on killing Ramsey himself, now that he had a trueborn son on the way and Ramsey was obviously a little too crazy.

Yeah it's much better this way. As you know I would read the books after a season, so that way everything in the show was new to me. One particular season, I think two, I read way more than I should have and surpassed the show, so I was doing the same shit you guys were doing and while watching the show in the back of my head I kept thinking we'll this part is different, this character should have said or done this, and so on. Wasn't bad but it just added an extra layer of over thinking. Now we're all free lol (well, besides the iron isles stuff, still got a little bit more of that plotline). Also I assume the whole Young Griff plot is being cut out which is surely for the better if he indeed just a pretender or whatever.

the girl (holding her newborn) that was killed by ramsay, that was a daughter of the old guy that helped orchestrate the red wedding. am I off? too many fckng characters for the intellectually lazy lol
Props:
BUTCHER 206 and BUTCHER 206
Yep! That was Roose Bolton's (newish) wife Walda Frey (granddaughter of Lord Walder Frey )and their child. Roose Bolton was indeed like you said one of the co-conspirators in the Red Wedding and in fact, stabbed Rob Stark. So Ramsey, being a bastard child, was threatened by the newborn son, as this son would be the true heir. It is heavily implied that Ramsey did this before when he was much younger, killing another true born sibling. This time obviously he went even further and killed his father too, crazy little bastard! Killing a Frey could seriously backfire on him, should they ever find out.

I have HBO and hopefully comcast has the latest episode so I can watch it tonight. Since I have HBO do I automatically have HBO go? I ask because I actually want to watch this at the other spot but there is no HBO there.
Probably justs ee if I can find a DL somewhere.

That was dope how the Red Woman brought Jon back after she lost all faith and no longer believed. Exactly like how Thoros ressurected Beric Dondarion.
"I've always been a terrible priest. Drank too much rum. Fucked all the whores in King's Landing. It's a terrible thing to say, but... by the time I came to Westeros, I didn't believe in our Lord. I decided that He, that all the gods, were stories we told the children to make them behave. So I wore the robes, and every now and then, I'd recite the prayers. It was just for show. A spectacle for the locals. Until the Mountain drove a lance through this one's heart. I knelt beside his cold body, and said the old words. Not because I believed in them, but... he was my friend. And he was dead. And they were the only words I knew. And for the first time in my life, the Lord replied. Beric's eyes opened."
What's even more crazy, I totally forgot the Red Woman was THERE in the scene peep:
