He is not a Karstark :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04465366984953974907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-48645480032357463352013-05-08T15:10:30.861-04:002013-05-08T15:10:30.861-04:00Great analysis once again. The examination of the ...Great analysis once again. The examination of the two Littlefinger's in particular was illuminating. <br /><br />@Nikki: <i>...and thought the special effects might have been the worst I’ve seen on the show.</i><br /><br />Huh. I actually thought they were pretty decent. I really liked that closing shot, of Jon and Ygritte astride two worlds, and I usually have a decent eye for that stuff (like all the shoddy CGI on <i>Once Upon a Time</i>).

Balls... I hit 'im right where I wanted to."<br /><br />Jamie —<br />NCW really sells Jamie's simultaneous pride and slapstick. He's been captured, stripped of one of his strongest innate assets (his tongue and his sword hand; the Lannister name helps but isn't his own doing), humiliated, mutually indebted to Brienne, and here he is continuing to be his jaunty, stubborn self.<br /><br />"I would've hoped you'd learned your lesson about overplaying your... position."<br /><br />Robb —<br />He sure seemed to get off easy, but I'm a little more with Christopher than Nikki in terms of my sympathy for him. It ain't boundless, though.<br /><br />Theon & Friend — <br />Here's a question: When Theon's sociopathic captor said he was a liar, was he referring to what he'd told Theon about himself or just to the fact that he'd stop the torture if Theon guessed right?<br /><br />Littlefinger —<br />We really see him all in this week, soliloquizing to Varys in Alex Denisof's slithery British voice as the eyes in his Gary Oldman face glint with cold fire.<br /><br />Joffrey and Baelish being in cahoots is just about the creepiest thing imaginable on this show. I can almost see a series of totally depraved webisodes featuring Littlefinger, Joffrey, and Theon's Guide to Lifestyles of the Sick and Painful sitting around trying to one-up each other with anecdotes or hypothetical miseries. <i>"Should we invite Varys next time? He found the guy who cut off his balls and keeps him in a box." "That's </i>awesome<i> — I think he kind-of has a conscience, though." "Oh well."</i><br /><br />Bran —<br />I kept waiting for him to ask if what happened to Jojen was going to happen to him. Then I remembered that this series often doesn't tell when it can show and the terror on his face spoke volumes.<br /><br />Cersei & Tyrion —<br />It's actually funny to see these schemers who so recently were jockeying for Tywin's favor joined in their misery. I particularly feel for Tyrion as he susses out the latest cruelty in an unfair life. <i>"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, no wait he's my father and he's our collective enemy, so my enemy who is my sister is now my friend and oh shit I have to break the news to that poor girl who thinks she's going to sail away from here and still believes old direwolves actually retire to a farm in Qarth."</i><br /><br />Ygritte —<br />It seemed to me like while she was saying that, above all, they had to be true to <i>one another</i>, there was more than a strong hint that sticking with the wildlings rather than delivering them to the "crows" was Jon's smarter bet (if only circumstantially). Of course, I miss stuff.<br /><br />Sansa —<br />I wanted to take down <i>all the dialogue</i> between her and her pseudo-suitor, then her and Shae. It was just totally hilarious.<br /><br />"Loras likes green and gold brocade."<br />"I'm sure he does."<br /><br>Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.com
