In that world? Yes.

Theon is a man without a place -- treated well by the Starks and yet still a hostage no less and his captivity was long enough that he is not really thought of as a Greyjoy either. He's trying to make his own way and is not finding much success so far.

There is no Jeyne in the show. It's Talisa. You need to stop directly comparing this to the source material. Besides, you'd be happier in the other thread.

Also if you think something is ham-fisted or missed the mark, maybe just wait until the next episode or the season is over? This show isn't meant to have stand-alone episodes.

Dr Mabuse

You magnificent bastard!

Another great episode. I loved Dance and the girl sparring again.

andicus

That would be my guess, unless walnuts supposed to be some sort of status food that you wouldn't find in a small community.

pinata242

If you're going down this path, why not just assume that guy carried the shells from Winterfell and didn't find them at the farm?

DeputyDave

Ah, that makes sense.

Thrush

Remember a few episodes ago when Bran was holding court at Winterfell? Rickon was sitting beside him smashing walnuts before Bran told him to stop. He apparently loves them. I think thats the connection that they are implying.

I find your endless self-assigned policing of these threads really annoying. After being an irritating nit-picker for a few weeks, you've now graduated to trying to tell me what thread to post in. Who are you?

Also, when did I compare anything to the original material? Who gives a shit what her name is? The point remains. Stop putting words in my mouth.

This doesn't even make sense, I now can't have an opinion about a scene until the entire season plays out?

Pharoh

Perhaps you shouldn't have an opinion until the entire series plays out. That really is the only way. Except of course for the one and only arbiter.




Though I wonder, by that logic can anybody have a favourable thought on an episode?

pinata242

I didn't tell you to not post, I pointed out that you'd feel more comfortable there.

Constantly? You're calling her Jeyne which isn't her name so it's very clear how you're approaching the material. Again, just trying to help you.

You can, my point is that after 17 episodes, maybe you give them the benefit of the doubt before saying it failed?

God forbid anyone criticizes anything about GoT!

superfro

See and I thought this was ham fisted and obvious. The heart to heart all the while with the kid inching closer and closer. I was all "Just choke him out already!" I thought that was way too stretched out for the obvious conclusion.

Hiro11

Who asked you?



Did I ask for your "help"?

pinata242

I criticized earlier, but I guess that goes against your current hyperbole.

andicus

I know what they were implying (they telegraphed that). I was just agreeing with DeputyDave that it could be a red herring, unless walnuts are supposed to be really uncommon.

pinata242

Then at least take a few seconds to do your own fact-checking before you further blur the line between book and show information and what can be considered spoilers by those that don't know.

Pharoh

Exactly. It seems there are certain works of entertainment that their fans won't tolerate any criticism, even when warranted. Nothing is perfect. And most every single person I've seen who has mildly criticised an episode or scene, has also praised other aspects of the show. It isn't blind criticism or trolling.

andicus

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Every time he moved closer, I figured he was about to get it.

Hiro11

Name a spoiler in my post. I'm done with you.

superdeluxe

pinata242

You're silly. If you seriously cannot follow this logic based on how others view things and the history of these threads with things like "Stormborn", then there's nothing to be done.

Keep calling Talisa by the name of someone not even in the show and see where that gets you.

Pharoh

Okay, I didn't remember that, but my question is what do the Iron Born know of his penchant for walnuts?

And I have to admit, I didn't even see at first they were walnuts.

Mordred

I really loved this episode. In fact, it might be my favorite of the second season. It's probably because of the abundance of Jaime though. His dialogue with the cousin was great even though it seemed obvious to me what was going to happen. I really hope he gets more screen time this season.

Cersei's talks with Tywin and Sansa admitting that she has no idea what to do with Joffrey were really good too. Nice to see that while she loves her child, she's not blind to his actions.

Those location shots with John are amazing. I'm still awed every time by how perfectly it works for north of the wall. Too bad he didn't take Ygritte up on her offer while he still had the chance.

Can't wait for next week.
