That was another great episode; there’s nothing else on TV as good as Game of Thrones, period.
My wife was cheering at the end and said “funnest episode ever”.
And while Joffrey Baratheon was a ****** bag of the highest order, Jack Gleeson deserves all the credit in the world for making the viewers despise him. I hope he gets more work, but I know that every time I see his face, I’ll be thinking “****** BAG!!!”
Did anyone else think this episode seemed “off” somewhat? I don’t mean it was bad, but it just didn’t seem like previous episodes, direction wise. I know that multiple directors direct episodes over the course of the season, but previously, all the episodes were consistent in terms of the camera direction, etc. There were two specific scenes in this last episode that seemed "off" (for lack of a better word) to me: the first was the scene with Tyrion and Shae in his bedroom, especially when the camera tracked Tyrion as he was walking through the room. The second scene was the dialogue scene immediately after that scene...I can’t remember which characters were speaking, but the quick cuts between characters seemed very jarring to me. Not that I remember who directed each epsiode, but this was the first time I remembered seeing this episode's director's name in the credits.
I wanted to wait until I watched the “Lion and the Rose” one more time before posting, but by the lack of posts regarding this, I guess it was just me.
Agreed.
But in the context of the show, three down, one to go. Thinking back to Stannis' blood ritual with Melinsandre and the leeches.
"The usurper Robb Stark". Dead.
"The usurper Joffrey Baratheon". Dead.
"The usurper Balon Greyjoy"...can't wait to see how this plays out.
