game of thrones 3x04 - and now his watch has ended

Goes unsaid that if you don't like Theon you really don't care for this. Also: book spoilers mostly in the Theon section.

2. RIGHT? I don't remember that from the book, but they are making a HUGE (no pun intended) deal about Pod. Is this relevant to anything?

I think you're right, sorry.

3. NO. OK. Good. I mean, I remember him telling of how he was cut, but not the part about him having the sorcerer in a box.

4. I kind of love Tywin, too. I mean he's evil, but he's a smart evil.

5. I am loving Margaery in the show much more than I did in the books.

6. I'm hoping they'll skip over most of her sitting around and ruling.

7. Were Rickon and Osha still with them? Or did they go off on their own already?

11. JAIME AND BRIENNE ♥ ♥ ♥

12. Iwan Rheon congratulations on the creepy face - Yeah. I take back my earlier doubts about his casting.

14. SAM! In the book, was the baby born at this point? I can't remember, I thought it came later. But, ok, after this is when he stabs the thing with the obsidian, right?

We're almost ha;f-way through the season... are they going to split book 3 into 2 seasons? Doesn't seem like they can fit it all into one.

2) Dunno? Seems to me like they're playing it for the lulz, but I hope it eventually makes sense ( ... )

3. I mean, I can see the point they were trying to make, and I can't say I'd totally blame Varys for it, either. In the books, Varys is all "for the good of the realm" and all that, not interesting much in his own ends.

5. In the books, I only liked her b/c she gets Cercei good in the end.

7. Really? WTH?! I must not have been paying very close attention.

11. If they keep of this perfection, I will almost forgive any horribleness in other areas.

12. NGL in Misfits he started out with serious creeper potential, but then they went and make him a hero. I kinda want to see him be super evil now.

I was wondering if they were going to end the season on the Red Wedding. That would be a shocking season finale.

3) Yeah that? Idk Varys doesn't strike me as *that* kind of creepy, but oookay. After the Talisa horror nothing seems too OOC by now...

5) Lol good point XD

7) Yep. It was like fifteen seconds of scene though.

11) My thoughts exactly ;)

12) Lol you'll have an interesting time this season then ;) it's just, I'd be totally fine with him showing how good he is at playing evil but I DON'T NEED TO SEE MY POOR BABY SUFFERING D: (theeeooonnn ;____;)

Nah it's nine - I mean, the title is the rains of castamere, so... While it would have worked for a finale if they went there I think they'd have a riot of viewers on them D:

Been gone from LJ for a while and am so glad someone on my flist is into GoT!

Ok, have dinner on the stove, but here's mine and Roger's theory on Jon Snow:

He's Robert Baratheon's son from Ned's sister (can't remember her name atm and prob spelled Baratheon a bit wrong but am too busy to care).

At first Roger thought Jon might be Robert's son by some wench and I pointed out to Roger that more than one person in the book comments on how Jon Snow "has the look of a Stark about him". So I thought...sister (fuck me, I still can't remember her name).

Eh, our two cents.

Sorry for butting in. ^^;

But I just wanted to say that about 99% of the fandom believes his parents are Ned's sister (Lyanna Stark) and the late prince Rhaegar Targaryen. Not sure if you've read the books, but it's definitely the conclusion I came to as well after reading them.

Also, if I remember correctly, GRRM said that Jon's parentage will be revealed (possibly in the next book already, but not sure about that).

First I just wanna say that this episode was literally perfect omfg! x33 I can't say I found many faults with it. I agree with you completely - they're doing a MUCH better job than they did with season 2 ( ... )

6) Omg yes, THE DANY SCENE WAS AWESOME!! Fucking hell, I got actual chills!! I'm not even kidding. And yes, Missandei, Jorah and Barristan were SO turned on - they were freaking smirking, all amazed at the same time. There was also this one scene (after the Unsullied started banging their spears in response to Dany asking them if they wanted to follow her) where Jorah and Barristan look at each other for a while and smirk/smile and the first thing that came to mind was YOU. xD (it's because of that Jorah/Barristan comment in your last review) lmao! Either way, I thought that was a great ending to the episode. (even though last week I thought the Ramsay reveal was gonna be the ending this episode, but oops, I couldn't be more off ( ... )

Ok, now that I'm (semi) functional, I can get on with the Theon part ( ... )

I had to split this message because I went over the word limit. OTL

"it seems like I watch this show just for Theon but I swear I like mostly everyone else too" <-- Same tbh. But idk, I feel like Theon feels just come pouring out, possibly because I know how much the majority of the fandom hates him, so it makes me more protective of him.

Have you seen the preview for the next episode, btw? They didn't show any Theon, so maybe we don't get to see him next episode (which would actually be a bit of a relief, because I'm not ready to see him get tortured again yet). But YAY, DAVOS IS GONNA BE BACK! I need me some Davos right now. x3
