That was some of the more irritating bits in the book. To have the Stark legacy stolen like that by stupid Tywin was most annoying. Especially as one of them went to Joffrey.
But yeah, my favorite part of the episode, by far, was the dialogue between Arya and the Hound.

P.S.
I thought something had changed with Daario. He's so boring now, while before he had a very distinctive face. I wonder why he couldn't make it?

People who haven't read book 3 beware as spoilers coming for what would be later in series 4!!! Figgy... don't read it.

Agreed about the new Daario. The old actor had that repellent swagger thing, (although lacking the blue beard), it made me feel all the more sorry for Ser Jorah that Dany could fall for such a oily twat, this new guy however looks more conventionally handsome and boring. and whats with the soppy flower picking? Rolling Eyes

hem..

its defo not the sort of tv show you watch with your great aunt Hildegarde. What with the minge up close and personal.

I never like it when television shows feels the need to change actors and go on as if nothing has happened. Particularily when the other actor had made the role his own to degree he did with featuring so prominently at the end of the last season.

Also it seems a little strange as, from the little I've read, there wasn't a schedule conflict or anything else that seemingly would necessitate it. They just decided to replace him for some reason.

yes its irritating. I thought the old actor was a good fit. That fight scene in season 3 with Greyworm, Jorah and Daario was very cool it was brilliantly choreographed

Something good happens tonight. Wish i hadn't looked at the spoilers on my bluemoon (man city) forum.
Have been waiting for this to happen Smile

Spoilers for this one seem to be unavoidable. My coworker who's reading the books found out the big event, though apparently not any details. But I'd imagine many people are quite happy today. Razz

It was unavoidable Eldo, i didnt have to look Sad

Couldn't help myself though. Was surpprised it happened so soon in the series.

I'm trying to remember now who did it. If I recall from the books this is a discovery that unravels slowly and is only EVER known by a couple of characters, so play close attention for a while. If you go out to pour yourself a cup of coffee you may miss the reveal.

by chris63 Mon Apr 14, 2014 2:58 pm

I try not to reveal anything when i make a coffee halfy, it upsets the Mrs. Specially when guessts are over Smile

I ran down the hallway with joy after the episode was over. My friend knew it was happening and really wanted to watch the episode with me. I didn't know why, but I told him I couldn't because I had a bunch of other stuff to do. He kept coming in to see if I'd watched it yet, and when I did, I ran up to his room and fell on the floor out of happiness.

So get ready Figgs!
