True if you eliminated the Danaerys/Mereen and Ramsay Snow scenes -

Dinklage was masterful.

As for story lines and importance, mum is the word


I've seen a lot of people complaining about the Theon scenes. They were the worst scenes of the night, but I still didn't think they were all that bad.

I thought the Dany scenes were great. The dragon reveal was awesome and I like that she's finally starting to get put in her place a bit. We forget that she's still basically a kid who has no idea what she's doing. Crucifying the masters was a REALLY dumb move as far as politics goes and she's getting called out for it. And she's just now getting a small idea of what it's like to be a leader. For the whole series she's just been marching around with this idea in her head that she's destined to rule the world. Now, she's getting a glimpse of what it's really like...listening to 200 "subjects" bitch to her.

I always like the Khaleesi scenes, but was getting a little bored with her since she was doing the same stuff over and over, so it was nice to get a little something different. Obviously, the stuff in King's Landing was killer and best case would have been to get an entire episode just devoted to that, but the other 3 storylines all moved forward and were interesting enough.

Agreed. I tire of her a little too, but I think I'm just waiting for the (hopefully) eventual payoff. And I just liked last night's because it was something different for her. I think it's going to be quite some time still (I'm not a book reader, so I really have no clue) but I can't wait for her to roll into King's Landing with an army and 3 huge ass dragons. Assuming that even happens at all...I think it does, but who knows, it probably won't be until what, season 6 probably.

I know a fair amount of time passes in the books, so I just hope it's enough time that when she eventually gets to King's Landing those dragons are frickin huge. If Bran's vision was any indication, it seems like that'll be the case.

By the way, if you've seen any of the "season 4 previews" you get a glimpse of who fights for Tyrion and against who.

I never watch "Next time on..." or anything else that shows parts of future shows.

Why do you assume that what's going on up there isn't a part of the game of thrones? I figure pretty much that everything that's going on in Westeros is pretty much related to the fight for the Iron Throne.

I'm not talking assumptions... I'm talking storylines. So far... there is no correlation. I'm assuming it is relevant, too. But so far it is taking place completely independent of all of the other action and also has a different feel and scope.

I've always given even money that Jon Snow will wind up on the Iron Throne.

He is truly one strange looking person. Smile

Our biggest fear is he'll drop dead before he finishes the book series.


He did not look too healthy.

He bought and restored the Jean Cocteau Cinema and Coffee House here in Santa Fe. A great indie movie house!

I'm hip to that and of course love its name.

He was great. Peter Dinklage, to me, was the star.

Speaking of Pedro Pascal, though, I'm still confused as to why his lover is being played by Indira Varma, who is a reasonably accomplished actress. She has had nothing to do all season and I'm wondering if her character gets expanded later or what. I haven't read the books, so I don't know. (And don't tell me, I'm just contemplating.)

Paycheck. Exposure. Her resume shows many mini-series with her doing on average 6 episodes.

They always skip memorial day weekend I believe


Good to know. Like PH, I thought that somehow I was just missing this in my channel surfing. Looking forward to see what happens to Tyrion

Only people I've seen complaining about last night's episode were hardcore book readers. I tell them it's an ADAPTATION, not a literal translation.

It's gonna be a long wait until April 2015, especially when there are so many interesting plot lines that are starting to intersect.

*** I haven't read any of the books. ***
