It seems to me they should just assume all this is taking a long time, though I suppose when I think about it that wouldn't work for Robb and Catelyn's story. But still. As long as no one on the TV gets pregnant (giving a precise timescale) I'm going to assume years are passing!Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-91893798309344311072013-04-09T23:09:49.906-04:002013-04-09T23:09:49.906-04:00Josie, I wasn't sure Tyrion *was* being honest...Josie, I wasn't sure Tyrion *was* being honest when he was telling Shae that he wasn't attracted to Sansa. I remember in the book he was - it stuck in my mind because she's what, thirteen or fourteen? Normal in their world, I know, but it's pretty creepy to us. <br /><br />GavrielleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-34923945953897584422013-04-08T17:36:55.099-04:002013-04-08T17:36:55.099-04:00Gee whiz Josie !

It was (...Gee whiz Josie ! That is FAST delivery !<br /><br />It was (indeed) a blast seeing Diana Rigg. It was an even more blast with her lines. I have the utmost respect and admiration for a no censorship matriarch !<br /><br />(People please ! this site is a cat's place first and foremost)<br /><br />And, on a personal level, there are so many beautiful landscapes in this show, a pleasure for the eyes.celticmarchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018881585193380762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-15745366474484807772013-04-08T12:25:07.207-04:002013-04-08T12:25:07.207-04:00It wasn't just the humour that got me in this ...It wasn't just the humour that got me in this episode: it was the full range of emotions it made me feel. I nearly fell off my chair with Jaimie's quote about Renly and the throne, I was squirming with disgust in the Joffrey scenes (seriously, just eww!) and Theon's torture, and both Sam and Catelyn's scenes got me choked up.<br /><br />I loved the introduction of the Reeds. Thomas Sangster is a great actor so I'm particularly looking forward to his work. Jaimie and Brienne are going to be so great: I loved how easy she made the fight look at the end, how contemptuously she brushed him aside.<br /><br />The one bit I didn't like was the Shae/Tyrion scene. It didn't work for me.Iagonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-75937812620297420292013-04-08T09:12:54.290-04:002013-04-08T09:12:54.290-04:00This really was a rather funny episode. I laughed...This really was a rather funny episode. I laughed myself silly over Cersei's line about that little slip of fabric being enough for Margaery's wedding dress. And Brienne and Jaime had me grinning from ear to ear for most of their story. That look he shot back at her when the farmer identified him to Bolton's men was priceless.<br /><br />Another thing that made me laugh myself silly: the very obvious aging of Isaac Hempstead-Wright. He looks so damn different now, and his voice has changed. The growth in the other Stark kids isn't nearly as noticeable. But Bran is clearly two years older, even though far less time has passed in the story. Aah, well. Nature of the beast.<br /><br />Thoros of Myr was different than I pictured him, too. I always thought of him as a big, Arabian type. But I still found myself immediately drawn to him. It's often fun to see how they merge particular characters and compress storylines on the show. The Hound showed up much earlier than anticipated.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-51239363352445566042013-04-08T05:27:50.813-04:002013-04-08T05:27:50.813-04:00THERE'S A ROOSE LOOSE ABOOT THIS HOOSE!
