WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT? uglysobbing.jpg What do you really want to hear Dr. Dastardly? Do you want to hear that the dragons will brutally rape and murder Danaerys? Because that is going to happen. Maybe it hasn't happened yet in the published books, but it will happen in one of the final two. Because that's the kind of show you signed up for... |

Never let anyone say that Sansa learned nothing during her time in King's Landing. I was straight up expecting her to come walking down the stairs in a Margaery dress. That's two ladies who are trying to seduce children on this show now, folks. Ahhhhh, this show... |

This fucking show. Apparently they are following up Ned's Head V2 with an entire episode of Blackwater at the Wall. I'm already steeling myself in anticipation of losing the only character in that part of Westeros that I actually care about, ( Hint) and would not surprised at all if episode 10 ended with Baelish garroting Hot Pie while grinning wolfishly straight into the camera. |

Yeah I think Ygritte has had one speaking appearance so far. The other times she's just been killing innocent peasants. SO UNFAIR.

Just what the hell is that fade to white even about. I thought it meant death pretty universally, but Jon is like #2 on my safe list, and what's this insane idea about seeing Mance. We're not going to see Jon again for a long time.
But no! Mance and Jon, right there in the preview. What.

Jon Snuh actually did shit this episode; more than he's done in maybe three seasons combined. |

Why would you light your arrows? The night's watch isn't shooting at anything flammable; the oil barrels are lit before they go down. Ygritte even dodges a lighted arrow because she can see it coming!
OK, it's another example of film practicality, like no helmets. I just wanted to say it because it reminded me of the old Far Side.

Hey guys, I just want to point a quick thing out here: If Ygritte had been in love with, oh, say, me, I would have been extremely unlikely to put her in a situation where she got shot with any arrows.
Can make no promises about her shooting me with arrows. She might do that. I would be less safe - chances of Dastardess shooting me with an arrow are not null but probably significantly slimmer - but Ygritte would have been much more safe.

Hey Jimmy, it's gonna be just one big dark fight scene, so here's what you'll be missing:
- Fat kid kisses the girl
- Giants riding mammoths, it's totally sweet
- The bearded guy who you don't remember his name dies
- (It doesn't matter who you think I'm talking about; all the bearded guys die)
- Except the red bearded guy, he gets blasted with an arrow and captured
- That asshole guy who hates Jon Snow is all "Eh, you were probably right about that tunnel thing but fuck it you're still a twat" and then red bearded guy stabs him in what looks like his dick
- Oh and all the wildling people are climbing up the wall and the Walkers Watchers release this enormous knife on a chain thing and it swings down the mountain and totally slices everyone all to shit like a giant Pit and the Pendulum thing, it's hella badass!
- Hey, can you figure out what the big deal is with the gate down below if everyone's climbing the wall? I was confused by that whole thing. Wouldn't you just pick one or the other? And couldn't the Watchers just cut the elevator ropes and then leave the giant knife swinging and that pretty much takes care of that?
- And then Ygritte is all "Oh shit it's Jon, that guy who doesn't know anything, should I put another arrow in him? Remember last time when I shot him with like three different arrows? lol," and she's just fuckin' standing there thinking about it for like ten minutes until finally some other kid shoots her and she dies, and I'll give you ten dollars if you can't guess what her last words are.
- Technically the Walkers Watchers On The Wall seem to have won the first round, but the cost was great! They're still super outnumbered, and they're pretty much out of beards! Jon is like "oh here's what, I'm gonna go kill the guy in charge, and then everyone else will be like well shit I don't even know what to do now, I'm going home." Everyone else is like that plan sucks, Jon, but he's all "You guys shot my girlfriend, fuck all y'all."
Next week: I don't watch the preview things, but probably the same thing all over again. Jes' fightin'.

Hey Jimmy, it's gonna be just one big dark fight scene, so here's what you'll be missing: I liked and unliked this like 7 times, just hoping you would get multiple notifications but I don't know if that is how this works. Two things I would add: Pro! The excellent scene of the fight at the bottom of the wall wherein a seemingly uncut shot the camera moves around the entire courtyard of Castle Black, giving you an excellent sense of the scale and the geography of the action. Neat! Con! Kit Harrington makes the bold choice of using precisely the exact same " I may need to poop" face in each and every of the following situations: Thorne's first non-total dickhead moment of the series when he admits he was wrong and petty; when some scaredy cat has a mental break; when he takes command of the wall; when he sends Brave Bearded guy to a likely (yup) death; when he jumps off of an elevator and does a tuck/roll for no discernible reason; when he gets his head smashed on an anvil; when the ostensible love of his life has him in her sights/subsequently gets shot by a moppet; when he finds dead Brave Bearded guy; When Tormund (Red Beard) is all "Arrrgh you DICK"; when he decides to ride off on his own and kill Mance Rayder. And I have a horrible feeling that he is the one guy we are actually going to be stuck with for the duration of the show. |

I read an interview with the director where he said that shot you mention was indeed uncut, no editing trickery at all. Pretty amazing. And oh man, that elevator moment. I get what he was trying to do, get into the fray as quickly as possible, but by the time he was done with that barrel roll everyone one else had landed too. That was the one moment where he showed a little flair or personality at all and it was just like "what?" |

Harrington's lack of expression or charisma whatsoever doesn't help, but Jon Snuh is also just a poorly written character anchoring an inert arc. He fucks up almost everything he does. This past week would have been an exception, but then he goes and negates it all by deciding to abandon the men he's just successfully rallied and led to take on a one-man assassination attempt. It was the same problem with Robb: the character's impenetrable and kept at a distance. With Robb dead, now Snuh has taken on that mantle too. He was one of my favorites coming out of S1, and since then, he's wandered around, got lost, botched his "covert mission" almost as soon as he was getting headway, got wounded and laid up for the first part of the season, led a mission where he'd have gotten killed had it not been for someone's help. I know one of the themes of the show is its rather bleak take on good deeds and nobility, but there's just no one compelling in that story arc (or if there is, they sidelined her all season and then skewered her with an arrow last week). I'm certainly pulling for Sam, but I wouldn't say he's competent or compelling enough to check in on every week. |

Jesus, now everyone's as down on Jon as Robb. The guy's learning! Look how he spat blood in the Thane's face to gain the upper hand, just as Carl did to him at Craster's. The only thing that disappointed me about the episode was too little time with Ghost. Jon says to Sam, "I need [Ghost to fight] more than I need you [to fight]." So Sam unlocks Ghost, who we see kill literally one guy. Even Sam managed to kill one Thane!
Speaking of which, I guess Jon will be safe on the crazy mission. Ghost is safe back at home for now, and the fate of every child of Eddard is tied to his or her direwolf.

You'd think in the episode they spent like 12 million on they'd be willing to put Ghost on screen more.
Still. I think this episode was badass.

I'm re-watching it, and now that I see this, I can't see anything else - the Watch and the wildlings all light their arrows! So silly. Oh! I see that bad-ass giant didn't bother lighting his, because he knows what's up. Also his arrow is as big as a tree. |

Just to clarify guys--in the middle ages, the reason arrows were lit at night were to allow for aiming in the dark, like tracer bullets. They allow the archer to correct his trajectory. Not necessarily to make them more deadly or to light things on fire.

Not necessarily to make them more deadly or to light things on fire. Hey guys, lookit this motherfucker with his "education" and "knowing interesting things". Let's beat him up! (No but seriously thanks, that is interesting. Makes sense!) (No but seriously seriously, here's why I light an arrow: because I want a motherfucker on fire. I want him shot and I want him on fire. That's why I light an arrow up. People in the Middle Ages were a bunch of namby-pambies. "Wahhh, it's so dark out." If I wanted to see shit I'd fight in the daytime, you booger-eating pantywaists.) (I edited this post like five times. "No wait, I have more mean things to say about people in the Middle Ages," is what I thought like five different times.) |
