Depression is setting in...next week is the season finale

I guess I will fill the void by reading the first two books then

KaienZ34 · 05-28-2012, 09:19 PM

True Blood starts the next week, then we have Boardwalk Empire. After that Spartacus on starZ, then back to Game.

Epic battle. Pretty much movie quality, truly impressed.

KaienZ34 · 05-29-2012, 08:19 AM

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.

^^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?

twinturbonet · 05-29-2012, 12:57 PM

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.

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.

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, 05:25 PM

Yeah he is very badass.
