Game Of Thrones 1x04: Cripples, Bastards and Broken Things

If you enjoyed this episode then it's probably best that you don't read this post. I'm really upset and I just don't think I can debate anything right now. I'll just cry. Or stab you in the neck. So please be kind. I just need to offload these ~feelings~ ;_____ ( Read more... )

Just so you're prepared, I'm fairly certain there won't be anything for "us" in the next two episodes. All the reviews/comments I've read about San/San scenes being cut were based on the first 6 episode screeners.

That said, Bryan Cogman, in defense of the onslaught of attacks today (and I do almost feel bad for the guy, as he doesn't create the plot points of the episode, he just fills in the blanks based on what he is told) did mention-

"The Hound/Sansa relationship is still a big part of the show"

I'm holding off my anger until the credits roll on episode 10. No, it won't be the same. No, nothing can be better then the original, source material. But, I do understand that in general, one must assume the audience is stupid, and must try to cramp a lot of history and back story into their heads int he most streamlined way possible (this audience being non-readers, of course). I can only hope that now that Sansa has this knowledge, she feels sorry for the Hound, which will fuel her enthusiasm for the tourney's outcome next week. And then, somewhere in episodes 7-10, she'll try to be a polite little lady, and accidently comment to Sandor how sorry she is that his brother is so cruel, setting of a Hound tirade and making us swoon.

I dunno. That's all I got.

:/

And holy crap... the lack of sigils in that Cat scene hadn't even occurred to me. THAT is freaking hilarious... in a sad sorta way. Hahahaha.

I saw Cogman's tweet earlier today and felt marginally better than I did last night/this morning.

Still mad @ no Loras tho. Loras is magic <3

I think I had already come to terms with it, what with all the rumors and comments weeks prior. So I was more sad and disappointed then full blown angry.

The more important thing here-

Dance with Dragons in July (along with that certain Calendar with that Certain SanSan page in it... yesssss.)

And... Loras this Sunday. It is known.

**** ALSO, it was announced that Martin will be at Comicon this July. I will also be at Comicon. Mayhaps you two ladies will feel better with Signed Calendars??? *wink wink*

:-O Truly?

I love you. I second the Paypal query. But please don't feel obliged to stand in line...!

Gosh, I wish I could go to Comicon. I've only ever been to one convention (we don't have too many over here) and I was out of my depth. It was an anime con, and I only watch specific stuff...mainly old stuff. Bleach? What is this? What is Naruto? OMG take me home, I'm OLD. I only went so I could cosplay! ;__;

I wish I dared to fly. I would get on a plane just to come to Comicon!

Truly truly. I'll be standing in line aaaaanyways, and I love supporting those as obsessive as I! Haha.

Comicon is epic and terrifying, and hilarious. I've been going for almost 10 years now. Sometimes I end up working it, but usually I'm just there freaking out about the crowds and heckling people. Hahaha. It's... HUGE. I've been to and worked many small horror cons and such, and nothing... NOTHING compares to the massive scope of Comicon. I truly have a love/hate relationship with it. But this year, there is supposed to be a GOT pannel, as well as multiple Martin signings. So, THAT will be swell. We'll chat more when it gets closer to the event, but yes... consider me yer... undercover comicon liaison. Yess... that sounds cool. Hahaha.

Yeah, I remembered that as soon as I posted this entry. Shit. Everything crossed for episode 7 then! XD

I saw stefichan RT that Cogman comment and it was like someone sellotaped my heart back together. Well, a bit of my heart. >_>

I'm feeling calmer now. I guess it was just the first big "oh shit, this could all go horribly wrong" moment. You'd think I'd have learned my lesson after seeing PoA/OotP in my HP days. I have a friend who loves the hero in things, Seth in Deadwood, Apollo in BSG...and I never do. :-[ Maybe I should learn to. They never seem to get shortchanged!

I am praying for a Hound tirade. PRAYING!

I'm so sorry I didn't RT your amazing tweet. :-( I saw Sandor had retweeted it first and thought I'd already pissed off enough of Sansa's followers with my whining, so I didn't want to repeat post. Even Hot Pie was annoyed. HOT PIE! >_>

You are a wonderful calming influence. I need to keep you in my pocket at all times. ♥

"Even Hot Pie was annoyed."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Sorry, THAT is the greatest sentence EVER. HAHAHAHA.

Here's my thinking now...

I'm kind of excited. If they are going to establish that relationship later in the season... how? It will be something unexpected.... and that's kinda exciting for us fools who have read the books multiple times and know each event by heart. :) Think of it like... fanfiction! The books are what's truly cannon. This... this is just another AU story about Sandor and Sansa and it will be fun to watch and see what they do!
