Game of Thrones on HBO: non-book thread (1 Viewer)

[Chadstroma]

Good choice in going to silence in rolling the credits as opposed to most episodes that have some music choice.

 

[gump]

I wonder what becomes of the marriage that just took place? The uncle guy seems like the type of person that will let this go, now that he has a new hot FreyWife.

His uncle seemed to have gotten away....he won't let it go.

The guy that went to the little boys room is Rob's great uncle, his uncle is the one that got married.

That's what I meant...the groom may let it go....I don't think his uncle would. Unless I'm mis-reading that and he snuck away because he was in on it.

If you're a Stark you should change your last name or something. I'd be Arya Thomas running around that ####in place.

 

[The Ref]

The look Frey gave Rob when he presented the good looking daughter..... what was that supposed to mean?

The Starks are basically the Kennedys of Westeros.

You could of had my men and a hottie too if you would have kept your word.

You would still be alive tonight if you would of married my hot grand daughter.

Here is my one question.... What in the hell is everyone in the North's camp thinking when they hear "Rains of Castamere". I think I hear that in that setting, I am preparing for a fight. Lady Stark looks lost and Robb keeps jabbing away. Huh?

I don't know if they hear it outside. Cat definitely knew what was up.

Well, yea, outside sure. They do not hear it. Cat knew something was up but seemed to be trying to figure it out until she sees Lord Bolton is in armor. Your host (who everyone knows is less than honorable and pissed at you) plays the song of the enemy and you do not immediately jump to action?

It's probably better flushed out in the book but the band was bad. They made it a point to describe how bad the music was because as it turns out, most of the musicians were actually bowmen ready to take aim.

Sure, but still discernibly "Rains of Castermere", no? Or in the book, is it so butchered as to not be recognizable?

All in all...the book readers did an excellent job of not spoiling this.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I had no idea what that song meant either.

I get it if you didn't pick up on the song based on the music. It is on quite a bit during the show though - musical cues, Tyrion whistles it, etc.. I thought he was saying that he didn't understand the importance of the song, and that was just explained during the dialogue about the family that tried to overtake the Lannisters.

 

[mad sweeney]

So I'm assuming Frey has been plotting this since Robb screwed him....and the entire wedding was the set up....because he knew Robb would come.

Yup, but what I don't get is that the Lanisters clearly had a hand in it by the remarks made when they killed Stark. Why not just have the Lanisters there to really drive the point home? When they started killing everyone they should have had a Lanister come out to seal the deal.

That was the guy that had Jaime and then let him go. How would he have gotten the Lannisters in on it?

I think a little of that....but Cat thinks it's a bit odd that the song is being played at a wedding.

"Look what you missed out on, dumb###" was my interpretation.

Yea, it was discernible. There was no singer but she was thinking the lyrics in her head. Just saying they might not immediately jump to action because A. they were probably trying to shut it out mentally and B. they talk about people singing one song and them playing another and it sonically being a big fluster cluck... but the switch was abrupt and she knew something was up. Everyone else was out of it though.

[culdeus]

Well that's one way to shut down a plotline in a hurry.

Yeah kinda like he realized it would take ten books if Robb was alive. Screw it they all die.

So 3 wolves left?

4. Arya's nymeria was chased off into the woods to a kid being killed. Ghost, summer and shaggy dog are the others.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

4: Sansa, Arya, Bran, Rickon (who set the record for most lines from him in an episode tonight)

ETA: Oh, literal wolves

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

I watched seasons 1-3(up to e8) in the last 3 weeks. Tonights Ep was the first one I've watched "live". Jesus.

Welcome to the show

 

[KarmaPolice]

I will say that I have watched my fair share of messed up movies and shows that were hard to watch. Tonight's episode upset me in a way that I have rarely encountered, and I knew what was coming (maybe that tension was part of it). I think it was starting it off by stabbing his pregnant wife that just shook me. Must have taken me about an hour to calm down after watching it.

 

[Raider Nation]

Ummm, wow.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Yes, that was the cherry on top. Also think about how much more power Frey gains too - alliance with the Lannisters/Boltons and now he has an 'in' to Riverrun because of the wedding as well.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Reading that scene was the biggest "Holy ####" moment I've ever had reading any book

And damn if the show didn't do it absolute justice...from the band playing "The Rains of Castamere" to Catelyn slowly realizing what is about to happen as the doors are closed and she realizes Roose Bolton is wearing Mail

Pretty sure twitter just blew up

Spoiler

Just because I didn't understand what was going on, the epilogue of book 3 was a bigger WTF for me at the time. I think I read through the book so fast I wasn't picking up on the details about Berric/Thoros. Red Wedding chapter had to be read a couple times too though.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

How didn't you guys recognize the song? It's been done several times. It's badass lyrics and melody. The Origin was explained last week and the name of the episode was rains of castamere.

I had just picked up my tux for my buddy's wedding and was starving. I stopped into a Chili's to grab a burger and a beer. I was sitting at the bar and reading. As I read the chapter I literally dropped my burger onto my plate and the bartender came over to see if I was OK, because she said I had turned white as a ghost.

Plus it was the song for the closing credits of Episode 9 (Blackwater) last season, performed by The National, who do a fantastic job with it IMO:

No doubt. Love the look on his face as he made eye contact with one of the Frey girls during the ceremony. Great character, and hope we get more of him as a result of this.

[FreeBaGeL]

HFS, these guys do not play around with the 9th episode of the season. If I'm not mistaken...

S1E9: Ned dies

S2E9: Battle of Blackwater

S3E9: Robb/Kat die

The list of people that we want to see get a particularly gruesome death continues to grow. The list of people left that can do it to them continues to shrink. Glad I didn't try to buy low on that Starke stock.

LOL at Jon Snow. Either doesn't recognize or doesn't care about seeing Bran's wolf, then rides away from both it and his girl.

Tyrion as Lord of Winterfell would be an interesting plotline.
