binary solo said: A bit of a let down. I was hoping for Jon and Qhorin to have a conversation, for Qhorin to give Jon his instructions. So things with Jon ended on a low note for me. What can I say about Robb and Florence Bonesaw (aka Talissa). That was completely messed up. Really weakly done this subplot, from start to finish it was stupid. This one thing drags the episode down. Roll on the re...no that would be spoiling it. I think Varys, Theon, Bran and The Fist of the First Men saved the show for me. Poor old Tyrion it's all down hill from here old chum. This season had some big disappointments in it. Lets hope S3 improves. |
Wait, what? wtf? It is possible to expand this thing without adding to many spoilers?
And, I was quite dissapointed, is like they had to juggle with so many issues that at the end only few of them concluded well, and the rest just were poorly handled.

The Fist of the First Men = the place where the Night's watch are encamped and about to be besieged by the White Walkers and their band of merry unmen. One let down there of course was Sam "hiding" behind a rock. Under normal circumstances that would mean death and resurrection as a zombie, especially as the WW looked directly at him. Sure, he ain;t gonna see Sam as any kind of threat, but an unSam will be as fearless an unWarrior as any dead hero of the Nigth's Watch / Wildling Horde. Not that I'm confirming or denying Sam's survival as a still living breathing non-brain eating person in S3. It's just that either way it's a stupid cliff to be hanging from: Sam's dead - well duh! Sam's allive - WTF!?! in what universe does an army of undead ever pass up a fresh piece of meat served up to them without a fight? Epic fail at horror 101. Stupid writing for that final scene.
Oh Arya's ending was very good too, still plenty diluted from the book but way better conclusion than some of the other character Arcs.
