tower of joy was pretty disappointing.. I'll keep this version in my mind I guess. (and why would Ned fight without a fucking shield?)

I didn't like Arya learning to fight being actually blind, is she some sort of Jedi now?

all the rest wasn't bad, just really boring

Yeah i agree, tower of joy was kinda disappointing.
Why do they always go over the top with their fighting choreography in bigger fights?
First Oberyn has to spin like an idiot and now Arthur fights anime style as well. Why can't we just get a solid, grounded fight?

That they cut the scene and use the rest in a different episode isn't too surprising.


Overall a decent episode i think, still not feeling the season as a whole though.
Now with Bran's flashback plot device i want to see Rhaegar though, pls HBO -.-

to be fair we've never seen ned with a shield, my bigger question is why do none of them have plate mail or any real armor, at least wear chainmail >_>

Screw the armor, why the hell no one brought bows or crossbows and end it without shedding more blood than necessary. That would have been more in character with Ned.


Fitting that all Khalasars are coming for a meet up, just in time for Drogon to turn them all into Dany's service. Now he has the best foot and the best light cav in the world.

Yeah it's hard to beat the book version. It's funny that 3 King's Guard are listed as dead at the tower in the White Book on the show when Jaime was looking at it. I guess the third could be inside the tower..
Here is the audio book version of the Tower of Joy:

So was that howland reed who saved him or just a random Stark soldier? They all just seemed like regular soldiers rather than the high command.

Dang. Was really hoping they would put the "Kingsguard does not kneel" line in there which was pretty badass in the books.


Do we find the Tower of Joy scene in a single chapter in the books or did we piece this together?

I honestly don't remember it as vividly as you guys seem to.

It's a single chapter of the first book yes. I don't remember which one exactly but it's after Ned gets smacked by Jaime and is lying in bed day-dreaming.

It is described as a fever dream Ned had while in jail after his fail Coupe vs Lannisters

For the series the point of the scene is a bit different than the books. Here it´s more about Bran learning about the past and the lies he has been told about it - it´s very telling that he is suprised that his father was loosing.

My thoughts exactly.

Preview for next episode doesn't look too thrilling either.

Oh well.

Yes It makes sense, the winners always write the history and they are always the good ones.

zzzz episode

At this point I don't get why they include stuff like Tyrion trying to have conversation to almost mute people, or danaerys talking with ex-khaleesis...they could easily cut that and actually progress the story.

so apparently North remembers shit. god that chapter gave me so much chills i had to go outside and light a cig. everything is set up at this point for Jon to go full JC on these infidels, and if direwolfs fates are foreshadowing the destiny of Stark children (which they have so far), Rickon is probably gonna bite the dust to make the fight more epic. pretty cheap, but oh well

im still enjoying the season tho
