irishdancer2 86 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 WOW. That was a killer episode. Tyrian is the business. And yeah Oberyn is a fantastic character. ****ing Shae though, I hope she gets it in the neck.Word. What a vicious bitch. I get that she's pissed at Tyrion, but balls-out dragging Sansa down, too? So much for loving that girl. You have to remember that Shae thinks Tyrion used Varys to get her out of King's Landing, that he was done with her and she was "just another whore." She's really been hurt by Tyrion and wants to hurt him back. Also there's the fact that she probably didn't have much choice in the matter of whether she was going to testify or not. Tywin's men seized her on the ship in the harbor so it's not like she could have run away after they asked. I mean, don't get me wrong, Tyrion did his best to say "YOU ARE IN DANGER HERE. YOU HAVE TO LEAVE," 5 or 10 times, but it apparently didn't register for Shae. I don't really give a damn. She can key his car or whatever the Westerosi equivalent is, but contributing to his death sentence? Please. Link to post Share on other sites
Ryn 1,286 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 A minor quibble, but I would have liked to have seen a reaction shot of Bronn. He insisted to Tyrion he got her on the ship. Link to post Share on other sites
Lucas1138 1,730 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I think Bronn did get Shae on the ship, with every intention of her getting off of it somewhere in Essos. A minor line during the Purple Wedding that I immediately picked up on (and I can see no other 'real' reason for including it) was when Tywin starts barking out orders among them is "Seize all the ships in the harbor!" I assume that Shae's ship was seized, Shae was recognized as Sansa's handmaiden and then brought to Tywin/Cersei. Link to post Share on other sites
The Choc 1,618 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Shae is a whore, Bronn is a mercenary. They both were "with" Tyrion for one reason and one reason only. Link to post Share on other sites
Lucas1138 1,730 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Yeah, but Book-Shae and Book-Bronn =/= Show-Shae and Show-Bronn. Link to post Share on other sites
The Choc 1,618 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Presented somewhat differently but in the end thats the case. Shae can say all she wants that she loves Tyrion and doesn't care about his money, its garbage. She HAS to say that. She can't say "I'm only with you for your money." She is just lying.

Lucas1138 1,730 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Why not run away with Varys' pouch full of diamonds then? Wouldn't that be able to provide her at least the quality of life she was experiencing in King's Landing? Link to post Share on other sites
The Choc 1,618 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Ehh, maybe. The presentation of Shae has been a weakness of the show from the start. Link to post Share on other sites
David 201 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 the scene with hound and stark is one of my favorites yet. hound opening up a bit is really nice. one of my favorite episodes of the season so far. Link to post Share on other sites
Cerina 2,837 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Peter Dinklage is amazing. Just. Amazing. I don't think I like the new Mountain. He looks too much like Robert, and not scary or crazy enough. Link to post Share on other sites
Ryn 1,286 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Dinklage keeps owning the show. The scene with Tyrion and Oberyn (my favorite character this season). and the GoT theme swelling... Great stuff. Oh, and with that last scene, Petyr is a superhuman-level of malevolence. Link to post Share on other sites
Pong Messiah 3,086 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 If by "malevolence" you mean "awesome." In the book, even though it was totally in character and to be expected, I had to do a double-take and read it again. "What!? He just did what!?" In the show, even though I knew exactly what was about to happen, I had to rewind and watch it again for all the minutia. So very, very well done! Link to post Share on other sites
Odine 1,123 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Shit man... the episodes just keep getting better and better!!! Think this was the best one so far, but if the current trend continues I struggle to comprehend how amazingly this season is going to finish. I wanna see the mountain do some cool shit, cause hes freakish huge, but no way in hell can they let him kill Oberyn. So that said, I hope twinkle-toes-the-sex-addict does a sneaky and destroys the mountain. Quick smart. No messing around, just in and out. Wham. AND seriously, if he kills Cercie (sp) too Im gonna charge around the living room doing a naked victory dance, fist pumping the air, crying "YES! fuck YES!" freaking out the neighbors. Please do not disappoint GOT, please. Link to post Share on other sites
