Hell yeah season three.

The battle was good, and the episode moved fast through the storyline but I feel like they sold us short and simple on the overall battle strategy. I have an average at best imagination and when I read Tyrion's chapters on the Blackwater it was way more epic in my head than what I saw. Not enough ships on both sides, no chain, no horse charge from Tyrion going mad in battle right up until Mandon Moore takes a swing at him. All these things would have make Tyrion even dearer to us as a character I feel.

First time I felt they had to compromise the story in a meaningful way for time/costs a bit. Still far better than most book-to-film adaptations out there.

^^I know what you mean, but there's no way they could have done everything with the budget they had. It cost about 6 Million per episode and I'm sure, a very short time frame to shoot. I don't think I've seen anything come close in quality to that battle from anything else made for TV.

Good point but can I at least get my chain and a few more ships with wildfire?

Damn son, 6 mil an EP? That's crazy. I could definitely see how it would cost that much though. Straight up, every time I watch GoT I think I'm watching a movie.

made sure i didn't read any posts above me cuz im watching the ep now, but i gotta say how much I love Bronn. The scene in the tavern was awesome.

KaienZ34 · 05-29-2012, 04:25 PM

Yeah he is very badass.

Rooster89 · 05-29-2012, 04:36 PM

just finished the ep and I must say how much I love how the show represent the hound as a character in it.

very true. It would have been cool to see a Hound vs Bronn fight though.

Newsroom looks promising as well.

could never get into true blood. tried watching the first six episodes and i was just glad to be done with those. Boardwalk empire however, I really want to get into. and of course, I'm going to be rewatching deadwood.
