Hilariously enough this reminds me of one of my favorite scenes from The New Batman Adventures when Batman was thrown into a giant cat pit and Catwoman jumped in to save him. BRIENNE IS BATMAN!!!! JAIME IS CATWOMAN!!!!!!!! MY HEART IS VERY FULL IN THIS MOMENT

[toastandtea]

The bear pit is so much better in the book! Aargh. I'm glad you loved it, though, since you weren't expecting anything else against ZOMG BEAR.

YGRITTE :D
Yes! I enjoyed that scene. She's a lot of fun. I love the idea that she has no concept of "swooning" or "fainting" because when I thought about it, it makes total sense. Wildlings don't do that shit.

Aw, from what i've heard the bear pit was exactly how it happened in the book! Although i can understand it seeming less intense or exciting, that seems to always happen when stuff is translated from book to screen. Unless there's something specific they omitted?

[spectralbovine]

Jaime has some amazing fucking lines in that scene, none of which made the cut. Just wait till you read it.

I thought I remembered Jaime fighting the bear more, but I checked and, well, he does only have the one hand, after all, so he doesn't do much. It's mostly the great lines in that scene I was hoping to hear.

Dang it, dialogue is like the easiest possible thing to include, too! Plus with GRRM writing the episode you'd think that stuff would have made it in. Oh well, something else for me to look forward to in the book.

The reunion show was so bad this year. I did not care to hear from cast members from past seasons, nor little girls who liked Malcolm. I wanted to hear from the rest of the cast, dammit! I read an entire where one of the earlier eliminated cast members flew out her entire family for the reunion special, only for her to get zero screentime. WEAK.

usually i think the survivor guys look hotter all dirtied up on the island, but i will make an exception to cochran and eddie.

[toastandtea]

Yeah, the reunion is about this season, talk to the people from this season! Jeff's answer to EW about it was like, oh, we couldn't fit everybody on stage and it's easier to interview fewer people. Bullshit, they could have fit in so much more time talking to THE PEOPLE ON STAGE, and i like the communal feel when the whole cast is up there. Plus i really wanted him to ask the usual "who would have voted for whom" question of the jury, i wanted to know how many votes Eddie would have gotten if he'd made it to the end.

Usually almost everybody is hotter on the island, i especially prefer all the women without makeup, and the guys all unshaven. Reynold looked infinitely better before he got voted out, then he shaved and it all went to hell. But yeah, i agree, Cochran and Eddie both looked better post-show, which is a rare feat.

[colorstoobright]

YES EXACTLY! in an interview with i think cochran (or was it erik?), one of them said they were unhappy with boston rob, richard, rudy and the little girl who was so nervous to speak about malcolm. not that it was personal; they just wanted THEIR chance on stage. i wanted to hear more about erik and how he felt being pulled out right before final reward/immunity! i want to hear more about eddie' dog-bar!

ugh, reynold and that stupid mustache comes to mind.

[toastandtea]

That was Erik, i read that too. I can't imagine the viewers not feeling the same way -- nobody watches the reunion for random-ass interviews that have nothing to do with the season. It's the last chance to talk about the stuff that happened with everybody together like that!

LOL Reynold's mustache cracked me up. What an idiot.
