Teebore likened him to the <i>Dean</i> from <i>Community</i>. Me, I thought more a cross between Count Orlock in <i>Nosferatu</i> and a <i>Star Trek: TNG</i> alien.<br /><br />Christopher: <i>I’m disappointed with Daenerys this season … she was such a force to be reckoned with last year, but now she just comes across as something of a petulant child</i><br /><br />I don't quite see Dany as petulant. I see her as <i>entitled</i>, both actually (given the whole dragons/fire thing) and in her head, and as frustrated that, y'know, one day everyone will see she's right if they'll just help her get everything in line — which is also frustrating for the viewer, granted, but she still has a mix of vulnerability and command that make her intriguing to at least some of the right people in-story as well as some of us watching.<br /><br />Christopher: <i>That, I should point out, is entirely out of step with the novels ... It makes me wonder where they plan to go with it.</i><br /><br />Measuring adaptations along the axes of "fealty" and "quality" can be a tricky thing; substantial portions of both is ideal, but sometimes you have to sacrifice one for the other. I'm not trying to tell you something you don't know, by the way, just musing on a problem that crops up frequently for us comic-book readers. This is one reason why the <i>Avengers</i> movie is so satisfying, despite it necessarily updating and altering and smooshing so much of a decades-spanning saga into one film.<br /><br />I gather from friends who've read the <i>Song of Ice and Fire</i> books that <i>Game of Thrones</i> still feels more like a successful adaptation than a <i>version</i>, if you will, an alternate take the way, say, Guillermo del Toro's <i>Hellboy</i> movies were so enjoyable but so mythologically different from the source material.<br /><br>Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-21801947717775275542012-05-27T18:33:46.377-04:002012-05-27T18:33:46.377-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-19592606648894400912012-05-27T12:33:22.846-04:002012-05-27T12:33:22.846-04:00Can't believe we've only got two episodes ...Can't believe we've only got two episodes left!?! UGH! Why can't it be longer? LOL I read book one after season one and was thinking there was no way they could fit the whole book into 12 or so episodes but they pretty much did it. I'm wondering if it's holding true for this book/season? <br />I also hope Dani's storyline gets moving. She keeps losing her "people"...there can't be many left now. I can only hope this is heading somewhere with a bang...especially since that crazy magic guy killed all the politicians. <br />Looking forward to more great recaps!Jazzygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08451286913250300082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-32325672100597498342012-05-25T16:34:42.622-04:002012-05-25T16:34:42.622-04:00These recaps are great and original. I agree with ...These recaps are great and original. I agree with Joan - I had the same thing with Jon/Robb/Theon, seriously!<br /><br />The storytelling is quite dense for a TV show with lots of info flowing in - but that's a good challenge.<br /><br />I didn't enjoy this episode really, seemed to just drag and not much stuff going on - talk about silence before the storm!<br /><br />Daenerys is getting boring and I hoped they'd reveal something really astounding but so far she's been stuck in Quarth for 4 episodes now? It's been just too much politics and the "only" thing that happened was just dragons being stolen (...and most of the party slaughtered). They're being cheap there.<br /><br />On another note - who is Davos really? From what I gather he's the hand of the Stanley but his character, although well written and played is sort of unexplained. I'm really curious how he's gonna fit in the grand scheme.<br /><br />Can't wait for Joffrey to get his ass kicked (slapped?).screenshotterhttp://www.screenshotquiz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-15305336144975947822012-05-24T18:47:05.388-04:002012-05-24T18:47:05.388-04:00I just thought of something: Roz (with Z, Joan) wo...I just thought of something: Roz (with Z, Joan) works for Littlefinger now, right? I wonder if it was he who put her up as "Tyrion's Whore"... does he know about Shae, or who Shae is exactly? Did it take him by surprise and he just quickly got Roz to fill-in? Or maybe the Eunuch told Littlefinger about Shae and they in turn they set it up to have power over the Lannisters?Joan Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04513335615114222374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-85501693285690681672012-05-24T17:35:03.894-04:002012-05-24T17:35:03.894-04:00Yes, I thought the whore was Ros and that was why ...Yes, I thought the whore was Ros and that was why she was going along with it... she mentioned in season 1 how she and Tyrion were... quite fond of each other, shall we say? She also knows he'll repay her and reminded him of that with the whole "Don't forget me" line - if she was some random hooker, I think she'd find it hard to stay motivated... whole bunch of things I could say here but I won't because I am a <i>decent</i> person and the sun is still up. <br /><br />I found this episode to be a little draggy and comparatively uneventful. It was good but I am at the panicky, we-only-have-a-couple-of-episodes-left stage. <br /><br />I am re-watching season 1 right now as I was all sorts of confused and lost <i>(and therefore not as interested then as I am now)</i> with all the characters and houses, etc... I honestly thought Jon, Robb and Theon were the same person for the first 3 episodes. Made no sense whatsoever:<br /><br /><i> "Man that guy is everywhere! One minute he's a dick and really ugly and then he's nicer and not ugly and then he gets all shy and cute. Now he has split into three bodies... this show makes no sense!"</i><br /><br />Love this show more each week! Your recaps are hilarious, you guys, thanks for taking the time to do them :DJoan Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04513335615114222374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-70263249258520746642012-05-24T16:05:44.547-04:002012-05-24T16:05:44.547-04:00Great recap you two - as always.
A couple points/...Great recap you two - as always.<br /><br />A couple points/questions -<br /><br />Was the whore who Cersei had Roz? That may cause Littlefinger to align with Tyrion. Isn't she a star earner or something?<br /><br />This did seem very much like a "setup" episode for the final two hours - much like Lost's second to last one always was.<br /><br />Talisa - now the hottest woman on the show - take a bow.<br /><br />For some reason Jaime being dragged back to King's Landing reminded me of when the Talies had to bring a half-dead Sawyer across the island in Season 2.<br /><br />I'm beginning to lose interest in Danyes' arc. It seems almost made up on the spot. I hope we at least see the baby Dragons in action though. Maybe come to her defense against the "multiple-man" wizard?<br /><br /> -Tim AlanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
