![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/PcbMS.png) Because of his father considered weak, Tywin Lannister took control of the Lannister armies and exterminated House Reyne. The verse And so he spoke, and so he spoke. That lord of Castamere, But now the rains weep over his hall With no one there to hear. Yes now the rains weep over his hall, And not a soul to hear. is a warning to anyone who tries to fight the Lannisters. And using such a simple melody with a Lord Tywin voice (or maybe not him) adds more greatness to the song. | ||

No. To answer on the same level like you explain why you don't like it :D Can't say much about that episode except that it was perfect. I had lowered my expectations to a minimum because I don't believe guys talking about "This episode we produced is so good" but apparently they were right. Loved every scene. And I'm so glad they gave the Hound so much screentime this time. | ||

Lannister on the left, and Reyne on the right, one gold one red. Because of his father considered weak, Tywin Lannister took control of the Lannister armies and exterminated House Reyne. The verse And so he spoke, and so he spoke. That lord of Castamere, But now the rains weep over his hall With no one there to hear.

That is so fucking awesome, so fucking epic that they sing it before the battle, and when it starts playing at the red wedding it will blow peoples mind. Hope someone in the show says the story in the future, preferably in the red wedding episode. On to the episode. It was by far the best one of both he season and the series so far, maybe the best piece of TV I have ever seen. The writing, the atmosphere, the build up , the visuals and especially the acting was mind blowing. The hound was insanely good with his fear of nothing but fire and fuck the king attitude, Joeffry showed him self as the chicken he is, Cersey was great in both the book scenes with Sansa and the added one with Tommen on the throne. Seems like they merged Lorases and his brothers role in the battle, so he's wearing Renly's helm and/or armor (shield for sure), witch is good for his character (and he looked bad ass as fuck when he got to the throne room). I'm so fucking glad Bronn has got so much time this season, he is an amazing actor and his fight scenes and facial expressions this episode where spot on. Tyrion again stole the show, half man chat literally got me in tears, since for a second he had the respect he always wanted. I don't mind downplaying his role during the preparations, and I think the suicide ship is better than the chain (wildfire looked awesome), and Roy Dotrice (pyromancer/dude who read the audiobooks) was awesome. The parallel of Tyrion's look of dear god I killed so many with fear in his eyes being paralleled with Joeffrys madkingesque let them burn smile was awesome. Stannis finally gave me a reason to like him, since so far he has been self entitled prick that gave us no reason to believe man would rally behind him and he showed us he is fearless and bad ass as fuck in this episode. | ||

Sure the budget constraints were obvious in some of the fights, sure Stannis was not meant to be there, nor Tywin, sure that scene with Sansa, where was poor Sandor's song (tbh I think he is one of the best written characters without POV in the books, so good), but yknow what, overall it was really really good. Pod is a bit lame atm, but eh. On a different note have now read the three Tales of Dunk and Egg, it was a fun and relatively straight forward read, nice for anyone who likes to get a better picture of targaryens, and bloodraven, and stuff like that. Rains of Castamere was great. EDIT: OMFG THERE ARE AUDIO BOOK VERSIONS READ BY DOTRICE OF 4 and 5? omfg. must find now. I have read all the books, but also heard the first three, and then the fourth..I heard one chapter..and just couldn't.....third audio book was magnificent. | ||

People want more Tyrion, means less time for less popular characters. They've really skimped on Sansa/Sandor interaction. People wanted more Charles Dance, unfortunately this meant Arya/Jaqen got skimped. | ||

If he'd said "I've heard better versions" then sure, but effectively saying he's read better versions is a bit silly. Also wow crap I am in the wrong thread I have not read the books and just clicked on the last button lol. AWAY I GO | ||

I really don't get why it was written out. Because they would then need to include the river (as KL is on a river) as the whole point of the chain was to not let the ships sail out to open sea again. But as this whole thing was filmed in Dubrovnik (that is at the coast) there was no river there to do it like in the book. | ||
