Also, the scene in Essos on way to Yunkai was an interesting small change. The Unsullied have no identity, so the notion of a name to belittle them is curious. Their names would change every day from a collection of rotating names. This is done to completely remove identity.

All right, my one complaint is Loras. Why you ask? Loras loved Renly and part of why he became Kingsguard was he had no desire to ever marry anyone. To show him with this squire really hurt the character and makes you think he just wants some action. I think they could have gone about that differently and spared Loras that indiginity.

Oh, and the song at the end is Patchface's (a character yet seen in the show, may have been cut entirely) who is Shireen Baratheon (Stannis' duaghter) friend. It is all nonsense, but sweet for a tragic character like her (she has a disease called grey scale in case you missed it).

Sorry for multiple posts, this episode was very dense and I was buzzing so had to organize self.

It's always summer under the sea.
I know, I know, oh oh oh.
The birds have scales and the fish take wing.
I know, I know, oh oh oh.
The rain is dry and the snow falls up.
I know, I know, oh oh oh.
The stones crack open, the water burned
The shadows come to dance my lord
The shadows come to play.
The shadows come to dance my lord
The shadows come to stay.

There is another Patchface song...a much darker one. Aye...aye...aye.

Less action but so much more content, unfortunately for me I have spoiled the season ending :( and now I'm starting to see that it will not end good.

So, who saw it, any thoughts?


I saw it and it was thankfully again an episode with love-making :D The rest was usual story-progressing, sadly Brienne-actress didn't show boobs. I loved the fight between Hound and Beric, very intense. What I don't remember is the last scene with Tywin and Cersei - I know of the wedding-plans regarding Tyrion but not that Tywin planned his daughter to marry Loras.


Difference from book to the show.

Loras was made a member of the Kingsguard (you'll recall a vacancy opened up at Blackwater Bay) so this whole using him to marry anyone is all invented. See, even avid book fans can be surprised by twists.


Personally, I don't like this and especially do not like the sex-scene he had. It is of no use to me.



I'm thinking about starting reading a books. Are they as good as TV series?

Way better, if you ask me, but keep in mind they are more complex and you have to remember a lot of names.

It's not as "good" as the one he had with Renly...
