Game of Thrones [TV, not the book, no spoilers!] (129 Viewers)

[radekas]

i thought it was similar to robb starks death in that he was close to victory but let personal matters interfere and thus paid dearly for having that emotional blind side

Robb's mistake was political and that's expected of a young idealistic man in Martin's world. He wouldn't expect his men to betray him. That was realistic.

Oberyn was toying with Mountain, was obviously winning and yet this great warrior somehow makes a rookie mistake and stops paying attention to an opponent like the Mountain. I find this unrealistic. I mean realistically he knows that Mountain is still not dead and he stands right at his gigantic arms where it is so easy to get grabbed or knocked down. What's worse he stops looking at the Mountain and looks at his woman when his opponent is still not dead. I mean for a legendary warrior, seasoned in many wars all around the world, that seems quite unrealistic.

That's just my opinion though. I think Martin is just trying too hard to kill the decent guys.

I'm growing to really hate this show.

I'm growing to really hate this show.

Yeah. I actually feel like losing interest after this episode. Red Wedding was terrible and I felt terrible about it. Ned's death was terrible too. But this time it just made no damned sense and I feel like it was forced way to once again make the good guy die. It's getting absurd.

You can imagine how funny was reading this post and knowing what will happen

He is a legendary warrior in Westeros. He will win for sure.

Also I forgot the most important part:


OBERYN

Wow this guy is probably my new favourite character together with Tyrion. He is a man of principles like the Starks used to be but also not as naive as they were. I hope that whole house Martell is similar. Also did you guys just see the happyness in Tyrion's eyes? Epic.

Also:

Robb's biggest mistake was his marriage

 

[radekas]

Yeah that too for sure.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

Yeah that too for sure.

martin is not concerned by good vs bad, i believe the deconstructing of that duality is one of the main themes of the show, also how absurd everything, religion hopes ethics..., is. I think the beetle story is the best testament to that.

 

[radekas]

I would agree with you if The Mountain would just won the duel straight way. That would be very true to everything I've seen before in that show. But the way of "the beaten evil guy suddenly attack with his last effort" makes it very different imo and somehow forced. Like I said though, it's just how I feel about this whole fight. It was a bit different in the books from what I heard and made a bit more sense.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

oh i didnt know it wasnt true to the books, would love to know how it transpired on paper.

 

[Juve Fanatico]

Just finished the episode and holy fucking shit I am so mad right now..

 

[radekas]

I think that Arya's reaction to Lady Arryn's death is basically the commentary to the whole show. That's how I react now when another terrible thing happens to my favourite characters and another good thing happens to the evil bastards.

 

[Nzoric]

Radekas is losing his shit

 

[radekas]

I've lost my shit in season 3 episode 9. Now I'm just farting a bit .

 

[venus_isle]

people shouldve learnt by now that there's no 'good' or 'bad' guys. everyone have motives and everyone can die just like in real life world.
you will enjoy the show better if you have this mindset.

lol arya's reaction was the best. now i'm wondering if littlefinger and sansa are still notified of her being there.

 

[Völler]

Also, Khaleesi has been an endless source of facepalms this season.

I guess they either won't be or Arya and the Hound will be leaving before that happens.
