- Joel’s Notes
- Tommen & Margaery
- I thought their exchanges were fun.
- That kid has it made! He’s obviously pretty excited.
- The show is often so dark and foreboding, it brought a nice light atmosphere.
- Margaery knows what’s up though. She wants Cersei out!
- Little Finger & Sansa
- I think everyone feels frightened for Sansa right now. Thought she could trust Little Finger, only to be married into the Boltons? Yikes!
- Jon
- I like how John is putting his foot down. You can see the reluctance, but he also knows he has to earn the respect – and in some cases fear – of every man on the Night’s Watch.
- Smart how he names Ser Alister First Ranger.
- I feel like you could hear the words of Ned Stark echoing in the scene from the very first episode when Ned has to behead a deserter.
- Arya
- I feel like this is going to be an interesting part of this season but also a very, very slow burn.
- Didn’t get much out of the exchanges in the House of Black and White, but the scene where Arya dumps all of her belongings into the sea – except Needle – was really well done.
- Tyrion & Varys
- These guys are always good for some comedy relief.
- When Jorra nabs Tyrion, I felt Tyrion should have seen that coming, but I guess he was supposed to be pretty drunk. Didn’t read to me.
- Jorra says he’s taking Tyrion to “the queen”.
- Thoughts?
- Brian’s Notes:
- Janos Slynt & Jon: Any Last Words?
- Kit Harrington talked online about how hard it was to portray a beheading on camera when it is happening in real life in the middle east.
- Any Last Words? What would be your last words?
- Karma comes to the wall. Janos betrayed Ned Stark and even though Jon doesn’t know that; we did.
- Little Finger:
- Maybe not the dick I thought he was? He really is one of the chess piece movers in this game.
- Sansa:
- I genuinely expected her to ask for her old room.
- Cersei:
- I thought she was going to pop a gasket. But her ability to smile through that shit is showing me she knows how to play the game. She seems more dangerous than ever.
- Arya:
- Is washing dead men as part of her training. Wash on…Wash off..Penis!
- She just couldn’t part with Needle.
