HBO's Game of Thrones

[rushmore223]

My wife told me last night she wouldn't watch Game of Thrones anymore because she hates the nude scenes. Doesn't anyone on the net complile a list of nude scenes in each episode? If I only had a heads up I could skip past any .

I've always found it strange that nudity tends to bother some people more than ultra-violence. Nothing against your wife.

Great start to Season 4. I preferred the original Daario as well, he had a cool swagger to him. I'm sure the new guy will be ok once he's been around a few episodes and gets some more memorable scenes.
After last night I have a very bad feeling about Shae's future. I figured Her and Tyrion's relationship was doomed, she should have taken the bag of diamonds from Varys and split town.
It seems that Jaime is going to send Brienne off to find Arya, I wonder if we'll see her face The Hound? That would be a helluva fight. The Hound has definitely become one of my favorite characters - he doesn't get the most lines, but he gets some of the best.

Agreed.

Spoiler

... seeing a young little girl ease her rapier slowly through someone's neck was really dark. But I guess it's cool for womens cause they're rarely at a position of power like that.

It's because ultra-violence really isn't a real life issue for most people. Pornography hits closer to home for most as it has been a factor in many destroyed relationships/marriages. Certainly moreso than stabbings and beheadings.

Was really weird seeing a different Daario Naharis, when they mentioned his name then showed him it confused me for a second before I looked at hime armor and realized he had been recast. I think this guy will do good though, gotta give him more time to develop.

 

[pixletwin]

She reckons the human body is a sacred thing that shouldn't be ogled, viewed and **********d to for every 30 something dude.

The violence is fantasy.

I understand why it bothers her. I have at least that much imagination. The only nudity I can't stand is the gratuitous kind. When it does nothing to further a story. I felt season 3 was a departure from the previous 2 seasons in that the gratuitous nudity seemed toned down.

I think we've had this discussion before several times.

Well that was an amazing start. Ugh, now another week must go by...

I know, right? Part of me wishes that HBO would follow Netflix and allow the whole season to be available at once a la House of Cards...but then I'd binge watch it in all one setting and wouldn't be able to wait for another year to go by.

Good start!!!

I didn't know they re-casted the guy that played Daario. Just read up that the original guy left the show in favor of playing in a "Transporter" prequel? Really?

That Hound is a bad mother.

Shame about the Daario recasting, not a fan of the new guy.

Seems like the general consensus is that no one likes the recast. I think the show's creators actually got a better actor when they re-cast Beric Dondarrion, and made a huge mistake with the second incarnation of the Mountain. But the new Daario is very underwhelming; I know it's early yet, but all I can see is Sonny from Treme. He's a good actor, but I think he belongs in contemporary pieces, not Game of Thrones.

What was that Tywin Lannister threw into the forge along with Ice the Stark sword to make those 2 new swords?
Was it a Dire Wolf pelt?

It was the sheath for Ice. So many metaphors, i.e. Tywin Lannister field dressing a stag in season 1, as well as the disposal of the dire wolf pelt. There was another one in season three, but I can't remember it at the moment...

Was Rob wielding Ice or Eddard Stark?

Eddard Stark wielded it, and brought it to King's Landing. It was then used by Ilyn Payne, as mentioned by Evil Face.

That could be a thread all of its own. Interesting. Gotta say I'm not sure I could be with someone who forbade me from ever looking at porn. I will not be owned to that degree.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Oh yay, more QQing over a few boobs and asses.

I'm not sure how you people can focus on a minute of nudity out of the 59 minutes of mesmerizing storytelling.

Agreed. The melting of Ice actually brought tears to my eyes. It was a powerful, powerful scene but one of so many. Sansa's scenes were especially noteworthy and the last one with the "fool" Dontos giving her his necklace and his and its backstory were fantastic. Seeing Oberyn Martell on screen and how well the actor plays him is amazing. Just like he's jumped off the page and come to life perfect. So much great stuff here and I agree with everybody else the big let down with Daario. That's just a crying shame for the GOT team to not even make this guy look like he did last season when played by Ed Skrein. Whatever. But Hound and Arya get the glory here with some righteous bloodletting of some Lannister ****s and Arya gets some much needed payback. Hell yeah.

"Lots of people name their swords."
"Lots of ****s."

Well said, and I agree about all of those scenes. I loved how in the opening scene as Tywin takes Ice out, the Stark theme is playing and as it's melted down the theme switches to the Rains of Castamere. Very powerful.

I've never read the books, so I don't know what becomes of Oberyn or Sir Dontos but I already love these characters.

After having a night's sleep to let the episode really soak in, I think this was one of the better episodes in the series. Though Daario Naharis' replacement actor is sitting worse with me.

This new guy doesn't seem to portray the charisma, security, and exotic mystery that Ed skrein had. Also he feels too trustworthy, too "good". With Ed Skrein's Daario you felt like he could take over the world by himself, and you certainly wouldn't want him as an enemy. You also weren't sure if you could trust him. He was sneaky, he was clever, he most likely had a few ulterior motives. He was like a more brutal, unpredictable Jaqen H'ghar. Now that I think about it, Both Jaqen and Daario had long, reddish hair, and Jaqen can change his face...I wonder... Though the new Daario's shorter, dark brown hair kinda throws that theory off.

Still gonna give the new guy a chance, but I really miss Ed Skrein.

The characters we didn't see in the premiere:

Stannis, Melisandre and Davos
Roose Bolton
Walder Frey
Theon & evil Samwise (credit to a-dev)
Yara
Sam Tarly
Bran & Hodor
Rickon & Osha
Beric Dondarrion and the Brotherhood without Banners
Varys
Petyr Baelish

Probably forgetting some.

 

[DinoDB1975]

Surprised no one has mentioned the dragons yet. I've said in another thread that Smaug was the best dragon I've ever seen on screen, but Dany's three dragons looked fantastic as well.

And who's evil Samwise? Ramsey Snow?

 

[a-dev]

The guy torturing Theon looks like Sam's (from LOTR) Evil twin. Thanks for the credit Lar'ja, I actually wouldn't have realised though

 

[DinoDB1975]

D'oh! As a huge LOTR fan, I should have realized it when you said Samwise. I totally glossed over the fact that you mentioned Samwell Tarly literraly two spaces later.

That actor who plays Ser Dontos was in the show a couple seasons ago; playing as said character.

I think he looks just like Mel Gibson.
