give Roose Bolton one just for killing Robb Stark with such grace

[Joelle.]

I swear he came into shot on roller skates when he stabbed Robb, and so did the Frey who killed Cat. The way he sidestepped in and out was almost laughable. :laugh:

[Novo]

tAKO7SWDGUw

This guy, he has the show worked out :worship:

[Wildcat!]

That last episode was brutal. Didnt see that coming at all.

[Locke.]

So disgusting. A picture of 'Robbwind'

Grey Wind's decapitated head sewn onto Robb's body. This is disturbing.

[Wildcat!]

Aw sorry Locke! Just noticed your avatar!
That was some crazy shiit!

[Niamh.]

OMG that picture is pretty bad Locke :/ I really don't like Yara/Asha either, infact all of the Iron born annoy me

[Novo]

that picture :joker:

[Locke.]

Absolutely terrible choice for final scene of the season, but other than that it was a good finale, set next season up nicely

10/10 for Arya and Sandor, getting a little bit of justice for the King in the North.

[BBUKAUSFAN]

last ep was alright ish, the ending was the best part though, cant wait for next season!

[Smithy]

Ugh Queen Dany http://i.imgur.com/4HoIV.gif they always end it with her, keeps everyone watching obviously

Arya was fierce this week too :lovedup:

can crack on with reading them now, hopefully i'll be all up to date by the time next years season starts :laugh: (I still dont understand why they only do one a year, they could quite easily do two)

[Locke.]

They are going to end up caught up and having to have a year or twos break or make a mini-series about Robert's Rebellion as it is, if they done two they'd already be caught up right now

[Novo]

^ as long as they include Stannis holding Storms end with only a few hundred men against Mace Tyrell and Davos smuggling in the Onions on his little sail boat

[Novo]

Oh yeah and the Season Finale ending with Dany terrible, it was just so random and seemed really out of the place

[Tom4784]

They should have ended it with

Lady Stoneheart, I read a spoiler after I saw her mentioned on here and I really wanted her to appear. I'm guessing they've cut her out of it s0b.

It was a good last episode, everything and everyone is starting to come together now. I really can't wait for the next season.

[Smithy]

Yeah, but it's ridiculously sucessful, I think it's as locke says, if they did 2 a year they'd be caught up to the books and we'd all be waiting for GRRM to hurry his fat ass up

[GiRTh]

Yeah, but it's ridiculously sucessful, I think it's as locke says, if they did 2 a year they'd be caught up to the books and we'd all be waiting for GRRM to hurry his fat ass up:joker:

Season 4/book spoiler

She'll still be included, in the books she isn't revealed for quite a while. We don't see her getting resurrected, the first time we see her is hanging a Frey, I just thought they would show the actual resurrection on the show. If I remember right the hanging Frey scene is the final chapter of A Storm of Swords, and they're roughly two thirds of the way through that book at the current point of the show.

[Shaun]

Just watched it.

Ygritte you ****ing bitch :bored: Still bored by Theon. Still in awe of the Kings Landing politics... Varys' bargain to Tyrion's ***** and Cersei/Tyrion's conversation :love:

This series is all about Hodor now, let's be honest.

[Tom4784]

Also Davos is becoming one of my favourite characters, he's just so likable so that probably means that he's gonna die knowing George R.R Martin.

[Shaun]

Davos is the one just learning to read, right?

[Shaun]

if so I love him.

[MTVN]

It was a good ep but quite annoying, not that much massive happened but it just set loads of things up which we now have to wait 9 months for. Last scene was a bit rubbish too, Daenerys story seems the most simplistic and predictable to me, just a black-and-white good prevailing over evil thing whereas with all the others it's a lot less certain

Feels like they're setting the main battle up to be between Daenerys and Stannis, either the dragons or the magic winning it, the Lannisters are really smart but don't have an advantage like that and seem more concerned with high politics disputes than confronting the bigger picture. Was hoping Ygritte would kill Jon there, he has just completely stabbed her in the back (of course literally it was the other way round but I mean metaphorically, just thought I would clear that up). Was good that they finally made sense out of that little psycho torturing Theon as well, would never have guessed who he is

Also good to see the great bromance between Walder and Roose Bolton again, and sticking the wolf's head on Robb's body was a very nice touch

[MTVN]

Just some musings for you there

[Locke.]

You horrible bastard

[Smithy]

was this anyone elses thought watching the scene

http://25.media.tumblr.com/0e47c3e21f9ed77e7d95f00ad388d477/tumblr_mo5th95hNW1qkwee2o1_500.gif

[Tom4784]

Davos is the one just learning to read, right?

Yes <3.

[SharkAttack]

The finale was better than the penultimate one, for a change. Thought it wrapped appropriately, book-wise(as if). It's an on-going series. Loved this last one more than "Red Wedding. " Zero spoilers.

[GypsyGoth]

It was pretty good. I find the show still gripping, I thought I was going to be wary watching it with so many of the main characters dying last time. But there are enough remaining ones that I like and I feel invested to keep me entertained.

Also the ending scene was breathtaking :love:

[Niamh.]

Absolutely terrible choice for final scene of the season, but other than that it was a good finale, set next season up nicely

10/10 for Arya and Sandor, getting a little bit of justice for the King in the North.

Arya is coming into her own, soon everyone will realize she's the best character :worship:

[MTVN]

She should have been killed about 20 times by now if it wasn't for other people constantly having to save her life

[Niamh.]

Same with most of the other characters tbh

[Tom4784]

:amazed: So chances are she'll appear in the last episode of the next season?

:amazed: So chances are she'll appear in the last episode of the next season?

Well, the sooner the better really because they could show a lot of scenes that are just referenced in the books. But if they follow the books exactly with her then yeah, it'd be the final episode of Season 4, I think.

[MTVN]

:laugh:

I watched the first 3 eps of season 3 last night :amazed:

Jaime's

hand!!!


:o Did not expect that. But Im really enjoying him and Brienne.


I love a lot of the characters and their storylines which is really unusual... however I do find Stannis really boring and the crazy fire lady annoying :laugh:

[Locke.]

Jords get out of here until you're caught up!!!!!!!!!!

Stannis/Meli/Davos > The Rest

[Locke.]

Jords look away now














It has finally been revealed what Talisa wrote in that episode a few weeks ago, when everyone thought was was going to be a traitor

Dearest mother,
So much news I have to give you from over the seas. I find myself held by the arms of a husband I never expected to have. They say he is a king and of my heart that is true. He holds us safe, for now I am two, with his child beneath the heart that beats for him. The war rages on, but soon, when it is all over, we shall come to you and celebrate together.

Depression just kicked in all over again

[Niamh.]

This is brilliant

Pedro Pascal cast as Oberyn Martell, the Red Viper (probably the main character that will be introduced next season). A bit weird, he is supposed to have dark skin. I always pictured him as Naveen Andrews (Sayid from Lost)

Emilia Clarke :worship:

Surprised Peter got a nomination, he didn't feature as much in season 3 as 2

[Roy Mars III]

I think Emilia has a decent chance of winning, the competition this year is not the greatest. (unless Breaking Bad makes a sweep of the board)

Peter stands no chance against Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad

and Breaking Bad will win Best outstanding drama no question

[Tom4784]

Mark Gatiss has been cast in an unspecified role :worship:

[Joelle.]

Surprised Michelle Fairley didn't get nominated, but Emilia Clarke and Diana Rigg... :worship:

Homeland will likely slay again though

[Roy Mars III]

not this year. This is the last year of Breaking Bad, it will take home all the prizes

[Joelle.]

Breaking Bad might win Best Drama, Actor and Supporting Actor but Claire Danes will still get Best Actress I think.

[Roy Mars III]

yea, don't think BB even has anyone for best actress

[Smithy]

Im looking forward to the RW in the book cause

catelyns chapters are so bloody boring

and book 4 has no daenerys :bored:

[Roy Mars III]

but we get lots of good Littlefinger action, which everyone enjoyed

I am still not over poor Robb

Its weird that we wont see Robb and Catelyn again.


Great finale ep, Theon Theon Theon I bet you wish you played things out differently now my lad.

Watched 3 series in 4 days, and dreamed about that little bratty Joffery for days. Totallly hooked now, and should have read the books first! Brilliant show by favourite character by far is Tyrion Lannister, I adore him in the show!

Yeah
I thought he might have grabbed sansa and pushed her, but then when he started hugging her I was like oh ok maybe not, and then he goes and does it :joker:
:laugh: I know, have you seen the size of him though?

He probably gets hungry every time he starts describing a meal and thats why it takes so long to write the bloody things

[Smithy]

also im assuming

it was thoros that brought cat back?

[Niamh.]

also im assuming

it was thoros that brought cat back?

It was Beric I think, it's been a while since I read that one though

[Locke.]

Yeah

It was Beric, he gave her his powers to save her and killed himself

[Smithy]

O I didn't get to that bit yet :laugh:

[Niamh.]

woops, stop asking questions then :nono:

[Smithy]

Coulda just said no :hmph:

[Roy Mars III]

did you get to the part where Daenerys dies yet?

[Niamh.]

:laugh:

[Z]

Where can I watch this online legally? I've not seen any of it but I'm curious about the show, so many people I know have raved about it.

[Smithy]

Don't think it's legal but it's free http://putlockertvshows.ch/watch/game-of-thrones/ :p

Starting from the bottom up

[Smithy]

did you get to the part where Daenerys dies yet?

If she dies I will actually **** punch you :mad:

[Smithy]

:mad:

my dad is a dick he just told me what happens to brianne

[Niamh.]

what did he tell you? :suspect:

[Smithy]

that catelyn hangs her :bored:

[Niamh.]

No Comment

[Smithy]

I know it's true I looked it up to see if he was taking the piss or not :bored:

[Niamh.]

stop looking things up :nono:

[Smithy]

Thats the only thing i've looked up :hmph:

(although I watched a video the other day and I think i spoiled something else for myself)

That Jon isn't actually neds bastard, he's Lyanna's son (which makes him a targaryen too (although if I thought about it properly that'd make more sense) :shocked:) and that he dies (but then someone said he might not be dead)

also did you go off of dany in dance of dragons cause I still liked her at the end of SoS

[Niamh.]

That's just a theory, there are loads of theories like that, they may or may not be true, although that is a popular theory that sounds likely

eeemmm, I'm trying to think, what was she doing at the end of SoS?

[Smithy]

she got mereen, sent away Jorah and said she was gonna rule there for a while

[Niamh.]

she got mereen, sent away Jorah and said she was gonna rule there for a while

ah yes, I started disliking her after that.

[Smithy]

why http://i.imgur.com/FOKI6QA.png

[Niamh.]

haha, wait till you start reading it and then come back and discuss it with me, I don't hate her but she dropped from being my favourite character

[Smithy]

http://i.imgur.com/FOKI6QA.png

[Niamh.]

Arya is by far the fiercest female and she doesn't even need dragons :idc:

[Jords]

Stahp ruining it for yourself Smithers! :nono:

[Roy Mars III]

ayra is terrible by the 3rd book. a whiny brat

Sansa >

[Niamh.]

Ew Sansa? God Roy, what terrible taste

[Roy Mars III]

Sansa and Littlefinger, the dream team

books should just be about them instead of the other boring people

[Smithy]

Sansa grew on me in the third book :love: but arya >

[Locke.]

Sansa is great, my favourite living character now.

And Dany's chapters were at their worst during the second book, I was really tempted to skip them, it was a really terrible plot in the show as well even though they changed it so much. But her as a character is at her worst in ADWD.

[Roy Mars III]

that's more Martin's fault than the characters. Though the character is a Mary Sue some of the time overall she is okay. Martin basically admits though that he messed up her storyline and made it happen too fast so that the ones in later books were just boring filler waiting for the rest of the character's storylines to catch up

[Jords]

Sansa is piss annoying, Im with Niamh

Arya >>>

[Niamh.]

Sansa is piss annoying, Im with Niamh

Arya >>>

:love:

[Locke.]

Sansa will be very powerful at the end of the story while Arya and Dany will be dead. Me and Roy win.

[Jords]

Doesnt make her any less annoying, look at Joffrey.

[Smithy]

Sansa will be very powerful at the end of the story while Arya and Dany will be dead. Me and Roy win.

bet you thought that about rob before you read the red wedding :idc:

[Locke.]

I got spoiled on Robb's death while I was looking for pictures for my TiBB sig and avatar during season 1 :bored: Didn't know how it would happen though, I thought it'd be in a battle, so it still got me by surprise.

[Niamh.]

bet you thought that about rob before you read the red wedding :idc:

ahahahahaha Buuuuuuuuuuuuuurn

[Smithy]

oh my goooddddd

I am not here for crows eye trying to steal Danys dragons

Worried.gif

(Someone should make a book thread so I don't have to keep bumping the TV one)

[Novo]

Smithy who do you like more in the Book then the TV Show and who do you dislike more?

[Smithy]

I think it's pretty much the same, I like sansa a lot more in the books and it sounds stupid but commander mormont too till he got killed, just cause you get more of his backstory and stuff, I like the stannis/melisandre story too but i'd prefer it from someone elses' perspective cause davos seems like a bit of a dick

The only one I disliked more was catelyn cause her chapters were just moany as ****, I'd have preferred it if they'd have been robs like the rest of the stark kids

[Locke.]

Very true Smithy Robb should have been the main POV of the series

[Smithy]

I wasn't even a big fan of him, but the battles and catching Jamie would have been better than "when will my son return from war; blah blah blah"

[Smithy]

Ok I just finished a feast for crows (the second half of the book > the first half)

but im confused as hell

I thought pate died in the prologue, why was alive with sam at the end, or is that a different pate? :suspect:

Also the fact GRRM has the "meanwhile on the wall" bit that says hopefully next year book 5 would be out... and it took 6 years for the damn book to come out http://i.imgur.com/FOKI6QA.png

Good, the old Daario had a really annoying head

[Smithy]

(Finally) finished Dance with dragons :amazed:

[Smithy]

also is my book missing a chapter or something b/c i dont know

how brienne is alive or where she went with jamie and on the GoT wiki it says She asks Jaime to help her save Sansa Stark from the Hound, claiming they are a day's ride away. She tells Jaime, however, that he must go with her alone, or the Hound will kill Sansa

:conf2:

[Locke.]

She's alive because in that chapter were she was supposed to get hung she got the option to either go after/kill Jaime or die, and then if I remember right the end of the chapter was something like "she said a word", which would be "sword" or something like that. Can't remember the other bit, probably made up, I don't think we see or hear from her or Jaime again after he leaves with her.

[Smithy]

Onhh ok, I think that was all I was confused about, the ending was slightly underwhelming, but I suppose the next one will make up for it with the two big battles

[Locke.]

There's a pretty good chapter on the internet that is from Winds of Winter, it is

Theon POV

I think I read it on GRRM's site but I think he had taken it down when I last went on there, probably copied to other sites though

[Smithy]

Yeah I saw there was excerpts of a few peoples chapters all over, from where he'd read them at conventions and stuff

I'm depressed now cause all the good stuff (for Dany) is gonna be years away on TV and the TV show is probably gonna catch up to the books cause he's so slow :(

[Smithy]

http://i1.cdnds.net/12/46/300x225/uktv_joel_fry.jpg

Cast as Hizdahr http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/2095c354.gif

[Locke.]

Seems a bit early for Hizdahr, didn't think he'd be in it til season 5 at the earliest. Probably changing Dany's storyline a lot (thankfully) if they're introducing him into it already. Pretty much the opposite of how I pictured him aswell :joker:

[Ammi]

I've just finished watching series 2, the last few episodes and the battle especially were excellent but I have no idea who the 'zombies' were at the end, maybe I missed something

[Locke.]

White Walkers/Wights, they were in the very first episode of the show when they attacked and killed members of the Night's Watch North of the Wall

Oh well you can just kill yourself tbh David

Team Dragonstone reduced to less than 5 seconds screentime and just one reused line again.. Poor Davos doesn't deserve this

[Novo]

Meanwhile Robb rots in the ground that Stannis walks on

[Locke.]

Robb was always one of the main ones in the trailers and actually got promo posters before the seasons... Stannis gets 2 seconds screentime, no posters, and doesn't even get invited along to any of the premieres or any other sort of promo work from the looks of things.. It is very clear who is more important here

Robb also has 100% success rate in battle, Stannis has 0%... I'm afraid you are on a losing side while I am still very much active as Rickon will soon be taking up Robb's cause

No one cares or cared about Robb which is why he was killed off, his story had to end because he wasn't interesting enough to live on, he couldn't be taken seriously in battle, he won a few minor battles maybe but Stannis launched a full on assault head on to the enemy's front door, lost half his troops and still got on land and gained th upper hand before Tywin came along but he escaped to tell the story, Robb died in a pityful way and his bad politics and trust were to blame for that ( and the leeches I like to think )

To sum it up Stannis doesn't need silly posters and Dragons to win the throne, and the reason Stannos doesn't get invited is because Dillane is always in demand, he actually has a bafta to his name unlike Madsen, now go and watch the red wedding episode again and watch your stupid king get ambushed

[Roy Mars III]

words can not express how much I hate Daenerys

but on the plus side more of the GOAT Littlefinger this season

No one cares or cared about Stannis which is why he gets no promotional material and doesn't get invited to any events. Robb took the best fighter in Westeros hostage in his first ever battle, if he hadn't Jaime would probably have taken Stannis' head clean off when he made that pitiful attempt at taking King's Landing (and lets not even go into him getting defeated by a dwarf).

If it wasn't for good old Davos and cheating by using magic then Stannis would be long gone.. as he soon will be when Rickon and Shaggydog get their hands on him

[Locke.]

Also, pls confirm Red Wedding episode > Blackwater episode

[Novo]

Robb took him hostage and then his own mum betrayed him and helped Jaime escape, what a **** sorry excuse for a king, and Blackwater was much sadder and tragic

[Locke.]

Yes I can just imagine you sat infront of your TV with a box of tissues crying your eyes out when Tyrion decimated Stannis' fleet and then proceeded to defeat him in battle.. a **** sorry excuse for a king indeed

[King Gizzard]

the more i watch the more like like Jorah and Jon Snow less, their accents aren't convincing

[Novo]

Stannis still has a chance at the Iron throne but Robb is in the ground with a wolfs head instead of his own rotting away stinking of stale piss and Walder frey's finest whiskey, King of the Jobbers more like

[Locke.]

Not much longer until good old Dany arrives in Westeros and finishes Stannis off once and for all

[Novo]

She can try by all means but Stannis will nut her one and get Davis to bend her over in the Dragonstone Dungeon

[Josy]

:joker::joker::joker: You two are nuts

That's it, the Robb avatar and sig are coming back out

It is true that Robb's death was mainly a surprise because Locke had spent the last two years bigging him up to be the major character in the show, not just some muppet who gets outwitted by bloody Walder Frey

can't believe people still support Robb after it was proved that he was a little bitch

guy doesn't even fight during the Red Wedding, just cries for his mother. What a loser

[Roy Mars III]

based off events, season 4 should be the best

[King Gizzard]

Robb isn't likeable at all and never really was, never particularly thought he was any good

So it's been announced the show will end after 7 or 8 seasons. Been obvious for a while but it's completely impossible for GRRM to stay ahead of the show now, WoW won't be released until 2015 at the earliest when they'll already be finished shooting for Season 5 which will be AFFC/ADWD

[MTVN]

Isn't about time he wrapped it up really, how many books is he planning to write

[Locke.]

Two more but he takes bloody ages

[Roy Mars III]

GRRM travels a lot (even more with the show now) but refused to write anywhere but his own home. Plus he continues to edited short story collections that no one reads.

the man is ridiculous. At this point I am just waiting for him to die so the series can be continued by another writer(like the Wheel of Time was)

Another victory for Robb. Takes up half the screentime in this video despite being dead and Stannis literally gets about 10 seconds and Stephen Dillane is nowhere to be seen on the interviews. Time to admit defeat Novo

Dillane was in other big projects, not his fault he is a better actor is it

[Locke.]

His last big project before GOT was Goal 2 nearly 10 years ago, meanwhile Madden is loving life and is going to be in the new disney Cinderella movie as Prince Charming. Another victory

[Locke.]

Someone that went to the premiere has written a write-up on the first episode

So I got to go to the premiere and see S4.E01. It's a treat. It moves fast. There is a lot crammed in, but it flows well. This is a brain dump, so I may be slightly out of order, but I'll do my best. I've only listed what I saw on screen, however the significance of certain scenes may be greater for those who have read the books or novellas and I expect discussion will go into further detail, so READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
At the start, we see Ice being melted down and used to forge two swords. I don't think the names Oathkeeper and Widow's Wail were specifically mentioned. Tywin gives one to Jaime (and tries to order him to quit the Kingsguard, but Jaime isn't having any of that).
There's a scene with Jaime and Joffrey and the Kingsguard book. This scene made it obvious who the book readers were in the audience. Joffrey thumbs through it, noting Arthur Dayne's entry (and mentions the Sword of the Morning) and that there are four pages for Duncan the Tall, who he notes must have been a very impressive knight. He mocks Jaime for having so much blank space under his name.
Tyrion tries to help Sansa, but Sansa doesn't want any part of it. She goes off for some solitude in the godswood and is found by drunk Dontos the Fool. He gives her a piece of jewelry that he says belonged to his mother, with some pretty purplish stones.
Margaery and the Queen of Thorns are picking out jewelry for the wedding when they are approached by Brienne. It's a great moment, Brienne is bracing herself for abuse and instead gets a very complimentary reception from them.
Tyrion goes back to his room and finds Shae waiting and very ready for him. He's not in the mood and she's not happy about it. She brings up diamonds and he starts putting it together that someone tried to get her to leave behind his back.
There's a scene with Jaime and Cersei. Qyburn is just leaving and she thanks him for some unnamed prescription that ended some unnamed symptoms. Jaime asks what that means but she won't tell. He also notices she's drinking a lot more. He starts coming on to her, but she has something in common with Tyrion in that she's not having any of that. She's pissed at Jaime for leaving her alone so long and doesn't take being captured and de-handed as a valid excuse.
Daenerys lines up her soldiers but Grey Worm and New Daario are missing. They're gambling. The bet itself is funny and how Daenerys deals with it is funnier. She starts off not taking any crap from New Daario but he offers her some advice and she warms up a bit. He's smooth, but not annoying so far.
The free folk get some reinforcements. Some very hungry, creepy reinforcements. Styr is... unsettling. They went with both scarification and cannibalism for the Thenns. There's an "eating crow" joke explicitly made.
Jon Snow warns the Night Watch of the impending attack. He explains Halfhand's death and his own oathbreaking.
Arya and the Hound are on the road. This is my favorite part of the episode, they are golden together. Arya wants her own horse. There's an encounter at an inn with someone Arya has run into before, and he still has something she wants back. This part of the episode got not one, but two spontaneous cheers from the audience. It's a brutal fight and Arya gets her Needle back... then returns the favor.
Tyrion and Bronn go to meet the Martell contingent, but the prince isn't there and the other Martells give them the cold shoulder. Instead, Oberyn and his paramour are at the brothel, picking out a girl together. Oberyn also pulls the male attendent into the mix. It's all very sexy... until some jackass in the next room starts singing a damned song about rain. Oberyn barges in to deal with a couple of drunk Lannisters. He doesn't kill anyone, but what he does do establishes him immediately as a badass. Tyrion gets there just a tad too late to prevent all the damage, but takes Oberyn aside. We get the story of what happened to his sister Elia and that he has Gregor Clegane on notice for it.
Daenerys' road trip comes to a halt when they get to a nasty road sign - a dead kid, pointing ahead, to mark each mile.
That's all I can recall right now. I'll do my best to elaborate or answer any questions.
EDIT: added Styr info EDIT: fixed spelling of Oberyn because I figured out why it looked wrong

That second scene is so bad, the new actor who plays Daario looks like a tramp version of AVB

[Smithy]

How far along are you in writing the next book, The Winds of Winter?
Ideally, I should have finished it two years ago, but I haven’t. One page at a time. I’ve given up making predictions about these things. I’ll be done when it’s done.

But David and Dan know what’s coming, in case they catch up to you, right?
They do, they do. They know what’s coming. They’ve even seen part of it, certain chapters that are finished.

Game Of Thrones season 4: Two Swords spoiler-free review

Review Louisa Mellor 26 Mar 2014 - 06:45 Share on printShare on emailShare on stumbleuponShare on twitter

Two Swords is as good a season opener as Game Of Thrones has ever had. Here’s our spoiler-free review…

4.1 Two Swords

It spoils nothing to reveal that Game Of Thrones’ season 4 opener begins with an act of forging. The glossily directed, wordless sequence is typical of the series’ visual power, and a symbol of what showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss have achieved by this point in their adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s A Song Of Ice And Fire. A weighty object is melted down, remoulded, hammered, and finessed into something new. Its forgers are experts in their craft, and their toil creates something magnificent from what once was; something handsome, deadly and legacy-making.

Two Swords, written and directed by showrunners David Benioff and D.B Weiss, is as good a season opener as Game Of Thrones has had. It’s a packed 58 minutes that still manages to devote ample time to its introductions and set pieces. We’re introduced to new characters - vipers and savages - and catch up with old ones, some newly reunited after seasons apart.

The newcomers are broadly drawn, admittedly, but subtlety and nuance has never been Game Of Thrones’ purview. Sex, violence, intrigue and world-building is where it continues to flourish. (Incidentally, the new face of Daario Naharis, Michael Huisman, fits in seamlessly and is a vast improvement on last season’s Tyroshi lothario.)

As you’d expect from any returning episode of a plot-heavy drama whose stories span centuries, there’s a fair amount of recapping going on, but in the mouths of characters like Tyrion and Cersei Lannister the exposition trips off the tongue. In the capable hands of Charles Dance, Diana Rigg, Lena Headey and Peter Dinklage, the dialogue whips along as it ever did.

A series of two and three-hander scenes with fan favourites quickly establishes this season’s rivalries and threats, capped off by an exhilaratingly bloody brawl and interspersed with lofty, vast shots of the Targaryen army across the narrow sea.

When it does epic scale, Game Of Thrones still looks like nothing else on television. It’s a triumph of investment; its creators have dug into HBO’s deep pockets to give audiences sweeping landscapes, convincing dragons, and armies thousands-strong. Wherever Weiss’ camera lingers in Two Swords, the resultant image could (and, knowing the size of the PR machine and fandom behind the series, likely will) be repackaged as a beautifully composed poster or digital wallpaper.

In its more contained moments too - a bar-room fight or a chase through the woods - the episode’s action and tension are well-honed, and the violence is as bloody as ever. However many slit throats and decapitated heads we’ve witnessed thus far in the Seven Kingdoms, there’s a death in Two Swords sure to make you audibly wince.

Humour too, is a strong suit for the series. Two Swords is sunnier and lighter-hearted than many Game Of Thrones episodes - necessarily so in light of what’s gone before and what’s on the horizon. There are visual gags, banter, and laugh-out-loud obscenities across the episode. After what fans were put through with The Rains Of Castamere, it’s only fitting that we’re given some laughter and triumph at this point.

It’s not only the fans still reeling from the Red Wedding. The events of last season’s ninth episode reverberate around Two Swords, just as previous season openers were shaken by the deaths of Ned Stark and the Battle of the Blackwater.

Thematically, Two Swords is about retribution and legacy. Revenge is sought and reputations continue to be built. If season 4 is to be, as reports have suggested, the halfway point in Game Of Thrones, then this episode’s geographical expansion and trek into backstory is a recalibration that paves the way to the saga’s second half.

If seasons 1 to 3 were Game Of Thrones as molten steel melted from George R.R. Martin’s unwieldy source material into spluttering, explosive lava, then season 4 promises to be that steel reforged. Rather than see its blade dull with the passage of time, Game Of Thrones emerges stronger, brighter and every bit as sharp.

Game Of Thrones season 4 starts on HBO and Sky Atlantic on Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th of April.

I'm re watching the first 3 seasons again, enjoying it better than the first time. so much you dont see for whatever reason the first time.

I didn't know it was based on books that are still being written, that's very strange to do a show on books that arn't finished. and risky. what if the writer dies , or does he have a ending already planned. or is he watching the show and its now infulencing his writing.
if someone he dont like he could just write them to get beheaded lol.
risky as writing without a audience and then writing with one in mind is very different.
hope he doesn't ruin it.

He's works closely with the makers of the show so they know what the plans are for the future. I think they sat down with him last year and went through every characters fate, the ending, etc.

Can remember him saying that one actors portrayal changed his mind about how much they would be included in future books, which was

Because he liked the actors portrayal so much. She's really minor in the books but has had a fair bit of screentime on the show. Kind of similar with Bronn.

cheers thats interesting. i suspect not just that character. some are played so well that i bet he may of changed a lot more.
if i was him after seeing the dragon lady i would be writing her a lot more naughty scenes lol

[Smithy]

Anyone watching on Sky Atlantic tonight? :D

[Tom4784]

I'll watch it tomorrow, got the last four episodes of S3 to rewatch first.

[Josy]

Anyone watching on Sky Atlantic tonight? :D

Yeah

[Smithy]

No adverts too

They should do it like that all the time tbh

[Josy]

Why is there no adverts?

Is it only this week it's on at 2am??

[Smithy]

Because there's no adverts on HBO, so they're airing it at the exact same time


not too sure, wouldn't have thought so, but we'll be able to check in a couple of hours anyway

[Locke.]

I want a scene of Jon finding out that

Robb was killed

I always found it really weird that we never got a scene like that in the books when they were both really close and had that farewell scene at Winterfell

[Smithy]

Great episode, set the entire season up :worship:

Don't like how the dragons just doubled in size, seeing as it's on,y supposed to have been a few weeks since she left yunkai, but ok

...Close enough I guess.

Very good premiere, that scene in the barn at the end was perfect. The guy playing Sandor is so good.

Jon's voice sounded a lot different though, right? I guess Kit Harington actually getting different acting roles these days and not just playing Jon 24/7 has affected that.

Oberyn is as great in the show as he is in the books aswell, I forgot how much I liked him
