In a massive coincedence my sound system bugged out and gave me the exact same sound error everyones complaining about, and it does indeed own. Mayhaps a bit more than the actual correct audio.

Junkenstein posted:Season 3 feels like it's rushing through things yet still having nothing much happen at the same time. It's not very good. Dany's scenes were also good this episode, but those were just taken verbatim from the books so they should have just done that with her scenes all along, instead of making up dumb new ones of their own.

Actually the episode was pretty legit good until it seemed like some internet douche had inserted some ~local band~ into the end scene, then it became surrealy good. And for shame, no one mentioned D&D trolling George and playing the game of bones when referencing the old Meereenese Knot. (And gratuitous and HBO as it was, chicks were hot, mang)

Really disappointed by the lack of "Kingthlayer!" and "thapphireth," not just for the hilarity factor, but because when you've got so many characters, it helps to have some obvious distinguishing features like a lisp. It's possible that they tried it out though and it sounded too ridiculous. I've got the same complaint about the downsizing of the Brotherhood without Banners. It's fine that they downsized, but I don't know why they kept Anguy instead of combining his character with Lem Lemoncloak. It's much easier for the audience to remember "guy who wears a yellow cloak is called Lemoncloak" than Anguy.

I have long wondered if for some reason Lem on The Shield was named in honour of ASoIaF Lem. Someone should ask GRRM. Whowhatwhere! You live in Albuquerque! Do us this boon, good ser, and the blessings of the Seven upon you.

The problem with stuff like Thapphireth is it's easy enough to read on paper but when you say it out loud it just sounds like a load of mush. Nobody would have a clue what the guy was saying. I don't get why they didn't just keep the same character they've got in the show but give him Vargo's name though.

Incidentally, how's everyone's Gash of Quims writing coming along?quote:“You’re that loving Turduckyen bitch I been looking for, aye?” His voice was low and rasping, the voice of a man who had spent his days screaming, drinking, and smoking. He threw her back to the deck and she could see him now. He was tall and wore a tunic and breeches of crushed black velvet. His boots were black leather, up to the knee and doubling back down to mid-calf. An embroidered black cape hung from his left shoulder, the pattern of white thread depicting terrifying sea creatures and maddening symbols which made her eyes itch to look upon. His curly black hair spilled across his shoulders, and his beard jutted out beneath his insane eye, the other covered with a patch of flimsy, beaten leather. Atop his head was a flat, wide-brimmed black hat, from the crown of which poured a tremendous red feather, the only dab of colour upon his person. Oh poo poo!

So a friend of mine just gave me back my copy of Storm of Swords that she borrowed about a year ago (I considered telling her just to keep it, but I figured she didn't really want it either). As I was trying to cram it back into that weird cardboard sleeve that the cheap four-book set off Amazon came in, I noticed, in addition to the required "American Tolkien" review on the back of A Feast for Crows, there was also this one:The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel posted:A once-in-a-generation work of fiction that manages to entertain readers while elevating an entire genre to fine literature. So I'm assuming this means, instead of all those poor college students being forced to take a course on Ulysses, they can just take one focusing on those Dungeons and Dragons novelizations instead?

It wouldve been nice if they had mentioned Anguy won the archery contest at Ned's tourney, or that Thoros and Sandor have fought each other multiple times in melees. As things are they just seem to know each other. I think they've done a good job with Thoros though, he definitely seems like the kind of guy Robert would have gotten along with really well.

In the books he is kind of a killjoy when Arya first meets him, but they seem to but a little bit Tom O'Sevens in him. The reveal that he is actually a Red Priest will maybe shook a few non-book readers.

I think Jaime or someone mentions fighting alongside Thoros in some battle in season 1. Maybe it was sandor. I wonder if they'll do the Red God Revival with Beric. I'm ready for some hot man on man mouth action.

Ramsay isn't really that frightening in the TV series. Sometimes a villain is just a villain and there's not much else to him.

Ramsay isn't being Ramsay yet, he's being "Reek". He'll probably not be frightening in an imposing sense, but when he starts torturing Theon for laughs and his sick pleasure, he'll probably be frightening in a this guy is hosed in the head sense

He's played by the dude who played Simon on Misfits, and about half of that guy's character was being a creepy nice guy goon who kills people. The actor is certainly capable of being terrifying. I have no idea where they're going with his character on the show. It makes absolutely no sense for him to set Theon free, set his own men on him, kill his own men, and then... what? Why? The Bastard Bolton is top dawg of Winterfell already isn't he? Why do we even need Theon in the show anymore? Couldn't we just have had him pop up for that one scene of torture and then gently caress off until they run out of interesting plots during the adaptation of the fourth book? And Theon is all miscast. How is that Mick Jagger looking motherfucker supposed to turn into totally rad and humble Reek? I don't see it.

I just realized that Brienne and Jaime's budding, reluctant romance is playing out on-screen exactly like a reverse Beauty and the Beast.  I can't wait until they start breaking into song either. The syllables in their names even match the lyrics perfectly. Barely even friends, Then somebody bends, Unexpectedly. Just a little change, Small, to say the least. Both a little scared, Neither one prepared... Jaime and Brienne. (...) Bittersweet and strange, Finding you can change, Learning you were wrong. Certain as the Sun, Rising in the east. Tale as old as time, Song as old as rhyme... Jaime and Brienne.

Plus Ramsay does let Theon and some girl free just so he can hunt them down later. He's all about loving with people and giving them little slivers of false hope, it's not like he's even going to finish the boo- Wait who am I talking about again?

Yeah, when I watched the episode last night I just interpreted Ramsay helping Theon out now as him doing the thing he does in ADWD where he lets him escape so he play with him and then he can bring him back in. He could easily pin the murders of the Bolton men on Theon so the Bolton crew are even more pissed off at him, they've shown Theon as a good archer in the show so they could take it in that direction, I suppose. I think Alfie Allen is a really good Theon and the show runners agreed enough to bring him back for these seasons where he's absent in the books.

Reminder to those who think Ramsay's being too tame: We have 4+ seasons to go of nothing but him slowly torturing and dismembering Theon. He's still at the softening up phase. Also, next do you think the next removal will be a tooth or a joint? *edit* vvvv I still think that if that had happened in the books it would have been more explicit. He's not the type to shy away from such details. vvvv Arbite fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Apr 16, 2013 |

Its been not long enough since I last read ADWD, but I recall a lot of the dialogue suggest that Theon has no penis. You just know for a fact that the stuff about Theon and Ramsay's dogs is going to be in the show at some point.

There are about a hundred references to Theon "no longer being a man", Ramsey flayed his dick and then had Theon beg him to chop it off, it's pretty blatant.
