I've enjoyed this season so far, but have found the past two episodes as "catching up" with characters ones as opposed to driving the plot forward. Hopefully this one changes it and manages to touch on everyone.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

David Benioff must have been ultra-busy with this episode. Co-writing it, directing it, and being the co-showrunner? Yowza.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

I wonder if they will get a feature film director to do the "big set piece" ep. like they did with "Blackwater" last season?

So the GOT beer has officially sold out in my immediate area. I will be partaking of some other craft brews along with some Louisiana style fried chicken and shrimp fried rice with some peeps.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

I was attempting to get some on tap yesterday and the keg blew. Luckily there was another pub in the area that had ample supply. ;)

My pants just filled with shit.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

That was pretty FN awesome.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

I was always wondering when we would hear the "Bear" song. Chuckled the first time I heard it, marked out at the way it was ultimately used. I always found it cheesy in the books, but punk rock can make everything sound bad ass.
Decent ep. Lots of bits of humor sprinkled throughout, mostly due to Tyrion. Who was the guy who saved Theon? I am only on Feast For Crows in the books and can only presume he shows up later. Spoilerize if necessary.

Apparently a bastard, based on what the dead guy said before he died.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

That looks like it hurt. :lol:

Hodor. :(

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

I love this show but man are there just too many stories going on at the same time. It works better in the books.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

Blackfish shooting the arrow and walking right away was such a boss move. Nice parting moment between Arya, Gendry, and Hot Pie. Really liked the negotiation scene with Dany. Ridiculous ending (in a good way).

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

Agree. Books lend themselves to certain aspects of storytelling that works much better for the printed format. Having read the third book, I am getting confused as to how they will split it over two seasons, as they are moving through certain storylines with quite a bit of haste.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

It's time to stop thinking of the show as a direct correlation to the books chronologically. Hell, you can't do that when it gets to books 4 and 5 anyway since they're simultaneous.

Book 3 will be split across two seasons, but there's no reason to think it has to be ONLY book 3 in those two seasons. They could easily finish Storm in episode 4 next year. It's not like they haven't already started pulling other events forward/to-the-light (see: Theon).

I still want details, Podrick!

:mad:

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

Amazing ending to the episode. Best one of the season so far.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

My favorite episode in quite awhile.

Daenerys finally starting to show some leadership abilities. Jamie losing his hand was a nice spot to end it.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

Great episode and then you finish it with a song played with modern instruments? Are you fucking kidding me? Took me right out of the mood and ruined an amazing final scene.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

You the man now, Pod!

I think Brienne will be able to beat Jamie now.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

Yeah, that ending music was a distraction. Other than that, pretty good episode.

Although, with respect to the dragon, something tells me Daenerys is planning to eat her cake, and have it, too. Not looking for book spoilers, if there are any related to this.

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

damn good episode that ends with the first of many crazy things to happen

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

'Ol Podrick has a horse cock. ;)

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

I don't know if it's been answered in a previous thread or not, but what is the actual ratio that GOT is shot in? We happen to start watching at 8pm and it was presented in 2.35:1 and then we watched a bit of the 9pm showing and that one was 1.85:1. What gives?

Re: Game of Thrones -- "Walk of Punishment" -- 4/14/13
 

Cool end, not expected as a non-book guy. Poor Theon, as well.

Terrible song at the end.
