Kissed by Fire

Game of Thrones Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 5

1. It’s so nice seeing Ned Stark in the recap.

2. It feels so long since he was in the show

3. I like how the map says they are at Yunkai but we don’t even see dany this episode

4. Lol at Gendry’s face “wtf is happening”

5. “For the night is dark and full of terrors” I need to say that more often in my life

6. Dang that flaming sword is pretty cool

7. How did Beric and Thoros figure out about their powers?

8. Will we see shadow tower at all?

9. I also should start saying “seven hells” when I swear

10. Apparently Jon snow knows something

11. I wonder who discovered the pleasures of oral sex

12. Oop Ygritte said the episode title, everyone go home

13. Well you’re gonna have to leave the cave at some point

https://giphy.com/gifs/the-incredibles-theincrediblesedit-incrediblesedit-CIzuYnnVXy80w

14. Ugh Roose Bolton is such a dick “come into my home and I’m gonna fuck your mind up”

15. Off that arm does not look good

16. Qyburn before he gets too crazy

17. Why did Jaime want to feel the pain?

18. Then we get the qyburn crazy eyes

19. Let’s discuss the fact that Olenna is talking about her poops right now

20. “I could be your family” “you’d me my lady” first of all, cue sadness, second of all hopefully there’s some foreshadowing here

21. Oh shit carstark betrayal!

22. If your mom and wife both agree on something you should listen to them

23. Ugh selyse is so creepy

24. Whyyyy does she keep her dead babies?!???

25. Stan is looks so vulnerable in confessing his sin

26. And when she’s okay with it you can see stannis’s eyes being all “uuuhhh what”

27. Sure a son that looks like a shadow baby

28. And she doesn’t give a fuck about Shireen...so sad

29. Good ole Jaime ass

30. Yeeeeeeeeess Brienne! Stand up to him!!!

31. I think Jaime does trust Brienne though

32. Maybe the red keep will blow up too?

33. Oh wait we do see Dany—my bad

34. The relationship between Daavos and shireen is so nice

35. Oh im pretty sure the Frey’s are on the lannisters side

36. If only Robb’s plan worked out

37. Oh Sansa...you don’t know that your unofficial betrothed is gay

38. Yay for GOT penis!!

39. So Oliver is spying!!!!

40. He’s not your friend Sansa!!!!!!!!!!!

41. It’s crazy to think that this is the second time we have seen Tyrion in this episode

42. I can’t wait until Sansa and Tyrion are reunited. He’s like one of the few nice men he’s encountered.

43. I WAS wed. Ooooh

44. Ooooooh Cersei is getting a taste of her own medicine.

45. Well if you weren’t such a dick Tywin then maybe your children wouldn’t have been such disappointments

FireandLunch Rewatches Game of Thrones

We so enjoyed fangirling and ranting together while recording our PieCasts for season 4 that we wanted to go through the same experience with the other seasons.  Since we don’t have time to do full PieCasts for seasons 1 through 3, we decided to do short-ish recap posts! Starting tonight, we are going to post one a week (hopefully…), so we will finish about the same time season 5 airs (once again, hopefully…).  Of course, our first recap will be for the first episode, "Winter is Coming." 

As Arthur Dayne says...and now it begins..

Episode: 1.1 Winter is Coming

Overall Frey Pie Rating: Rhaegar

This was unanimous amongst our group.  While there are some issues with the episode, we think it is a strong introduction to the show.  By the time “the things I do for love” happens, most people were ready for a second slice of pie.

Episode MVP: Harry Lloyd as Viserys.  So amazing.

Best (Unintentional) Comedic Moment: "I don't fight in tourneys because when I fight a man for real, I don't want him to know what I can do." Insert eye roll.

Rickon Watch: Pretty prominent and laughing over Bran’s misfortune.

Honor Before Intelligence Moments: Surprising, none. (Don’t fret...we’ll be seeing Ned in this category a lot…)

Favorite Quotes

"Relax your bow arm"

"Close the door!"

"The things I do for love."

"Don't leave me alone with these people."

Rhaegar a la Mode Moments

Happy Starks - This is the only time they were ever happy. The introduction to the family was very well done, showing pieces of all of their personalities: Arya and Sansa sewing, Rickon laughing, Arya throwing food at Sansa, Robb's face when he sees Sansa looking at Joffrey, Arya coming in the the helmet on, the look between Jon and Cat.  Special shout-out to the gratuitous shirtless scene.  Best scene ever. (You’re welcome for the link.)

Nice to see Benjen both in his interactions with Jon and Ned. We don't get a lot of him, so we have to treasure the moments that we do get. It was nice to see the camaraderie he has with Ned because we don't really get to see that in the books.

ICE! It’s big.

DIREWOLVES!  

Enough said.

The crypt scene with Ned and Robert/Lyanna backstory.

Viserys being being fantastically creepy with Dany.

Happy Lannister Brothers - It was nice to see Jaime and Tyrion happy for a moment as well, laughing and joking with each other before everything starts to fall apart in their lives as well, such a change from the prison cell scenes from season four.

Opening Credits!  4 seasons in and still amazing.

Nerdrage Moments

Why did the White Walkers chop up their victims? Don't they need their armies to be made up of zombies that are a little more whole? Do they enjoy making corpse crop circles?

Missing scenes and perspectives, mainly Jon’s missing scene with Arya while Robb and Joffrey are fighting (this was part of the original pilot script but later cut) and not getting to view the feast through Jon's eyes.

Dany's rape at her wedding (though there is disagreement on the level of nerdrage, if any, for this change).

Catelyn's motivations - see below.

Lyanna's statue holding a feather and not a blue rose.  Still annoyed about it.

Episode’s Legacy

Treatment of Cat - This is the beginning of their mistreatment of Cat and her personality/motivations. D&D simplify them so that they can have Cat and Luwin have counter positions but it was the first sign that they were not going to get Cat right. The characterization from the pilot continues for the rest of the series.

Jaime and Cersei's relationship - She never seems like she enjoys their relationship at all. She seems bored and cold toward him, which feels like a departure from the books where even if she did not love him the same way he loved her perhaps (open to discussion), he was still her other half, her everything to a degree and that feeling seems to be absent in the tv version.

Dany's rape scene is the first of many added explicit rape scenes in the tv show, which is problematic all around (though in this case, not really unfaithful to the book).

Introduction of the main characters!  On a positive note, we finally got a chance to see a lot of our fave characters in ASOIAF in action.  And some of us still can’t believe that Kit turned from this

to

in one year.  Good job Kit and HBO!

And just for fun....

And Now His Watch Has Ended

Game of Thrones Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 4

1. Jaime is not looking good

2. ew gross

3. also ew

4. this episode really kicks up the jaime sympathy

5. there will be a trial next season! 

6. oof poor varys. paralyzed and feeling everything....

7. the voice of the flames...was that the lord of light perhaps? 

8. talk about a succes story

9. damn varys doesnt mess around

10. i love how tyrion is like “damn, this guy is a revenge genius and i didnt even know” 

11. yes sam can save the baby!!! 

12. so meta...bran chasing after himself 

13. i like how varys is like “podrick was that THAT” wow dang 

14. what DID podrick do to them? 

15. littlefinger is pursuing his title through lady arryn

16. joffrey is all “i enjoy you watching my enjoy talking abut torture” 

17. its crazy to think that w dont see the sept that often...we see more of the red keep. i guess i also just realized that i have been calling the red keep the sept the whole time and not the red keep, so oh well forgive my typos

18. cersei has a such a good stink face when marjorie is like oh yes it’s like a walk through history

19. sometimes severity is the price we pay for greatness.....wow such a a great line to help show that marjorie understands joffrey’s approach to ruling

20. and that she can use it to manipulate joffrey

21. and marorie can throw shade just as well as cersei

22. ramsay! this is all just a bunch of lies!!

23. and theon youre ust divulging all f your inner turmoil to ramsay and he is gonna use it against you

24. and theon, you are part stark! 

25. all he has been wanting was the permission to be both...was that too much to ask for? did he really have to go through all of this to get there? 

26. i never realized that theon called ned his real father. that’s so sad! 

27. so theon went to all of this trouble to earn approval from his biological father who never wanted anything to do with him because he could never get the stark approval he wanted from the people he saw as his brothers and family.

28. brb gotta cry for a second

29. i love how the room is illuminated when ramsay shows that he has led theon back 

30. and all cersei wanted was approval by her father...

31. tywin makes a good point about cersei’s inability to manipulate joffrey

32. olenna has no time for roses

33. but a rose can grow strong around a bush and take hold of it and no one would pay attention to it becasue it is not seen as something worth paying attention to

34. tyrell’s plot to marry sansa o loras adn tywin plots to mary sansa to tyrion....hmmmm

35. woop they said the epsode title name, everyone go home

36. the things men will do to get some meat

37. good reintro to beric! plus they have a better looking actor too

38. at least arya got to reclear her conscience about waht happened to mycah

39. danyerys gives a god stink face here too

40. i Love missanei’s look “OMG THIS GIRL CAN SPEAK VALYRIAN!?!?!?!”

41. and the master didnt even notice at first because he was too distracted by the dragon

42. and missandei gives a  good one back too

43. awesome crisp corpse shot

44. see i love the whole concept of danyerys slaying the masters but i also know that they are just going to rise up again, which makes it harder to initially enjoy

45. but i guess its enjoyable because she gets the unsullied, has a good bitch face as she leaves astapor, and eventually conquers the asters again

46. also i like how this last scene has the climax of a season finale but is not. 

47. a million times better than the qarth storyline

48. too bad the mereen storyline is drawn out for like 3 seasons though

49. although i get it

[caffeineandchristmas]

The Prince of Winterfell

Game of Thrones Rewatch: Season 2, Episode 8

1. i wonder how they choose who to list in the opening credits? who appears the most? the first one on screen? idk

2. yay yara

3. theon is like “wtf are you doing here”

4. oh shit theon what are you gonna do “im warning you” “go on then, warn me” 

5. oh man the greyjoy sibling backstory is giving me feels

6. i hope yara makes it through all of this

7. “how can a man be brave when he is afraid” “it is the only time to be brave” that is a great line

8. i understand how silly it is to marry someone for a bridge but clearly the consequences were dire because he didnt do so 

9. i forget thas how jaime and brienne get together

10. man so many things happen off screen its hard to remember why and how things come about

11. darn jaime be nice

12. arya get the fuck out of there

13. im surprised arya got the chance to continue friendships with hot pie and gendry even though he was cup bearer for tywin...he must have known she was out and about with them

14.  do what needs to be done but im not gonna the you the plan and so you have to improv it

15. a cloak makes it hard to fight...aka no capes! 

16. so bronn killed a bunch of theives? 

17. i love sam’s hope and faith in jon

18. i do like that point blank humor “where were you” “a man has patrol duty!” 

19. hs facial expression is priceless though

20. arya refered to herself as a girl!!! yeeees gurl

21. YEEEEEEEES PODRICK

22. tyrion: why are you smiling...cersei: becasue i am happy 

too bad we dont see her have that emotion that often

23. you know its sad when you are concerned when your sister is happy

24. tyrion is like “oh shit its roz but at least its not shea” and roz is ike “oh ok im gonna play along

25. “i will hurt you for this. a day will come when you thnk when you are safe and happy and your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth and you will know the debt is paid.” i really hope tat this comeuppance comes when he assists whomever in killing cersei on the iron throne just when she thinks she’s won the game. that would be brilliant. 

26. i think this scene is where i really became a tyrion fan. his acting is so good in this scene that i really feel the emotion. 

27. only a couple more days until we see ramsay....gotta start preparing for that shit show

28. do you think he started conspiring with the freys and lannisters then? 

29. i do like talisa’s sense of humor

30. her story is compelling though

31. i like how they waited until her story was done before they had sex...it was nice to get a brea from the sexposition

32. i guess if i had to identify wth one character is would be talisa...and i dont like that but whatever

33. arya has cheated death twice now...crazy

34. i do like how dry and direct stannis is and yet he is still demonstrating a little bit of humor

35. yay daavos being named hand of the king! 

36. maybe varys’s little birds were the ones that theon murdered? 

37. i do like joffrey’s lne about giving stannis a red smile but too bad joffrey is all bark and no bite when it comes to war

38. i do like how that tyrion and varys match and respond to that line with humor

39. maybe tyrion likes beng hand of the king becasue he can get away with imp slapping joffrey

40. one game at a time indeed

41. jorah is all “khaleesi, you touch my face and i will do whatever you like” 

42. “theyll never hear it from me” guess what, bran just did! 

[caffeineandchristmas]

Game of Thrones Rewatch

Season 2, Episode 7: A Man Without Honor

1. i always wonder why they kept the stag on that one gear in kings landing. the baratheons dont control it anymore...unless they are foreshadowing hat gendry will be sitting on the iron throne since he is the only baratheon left--that we are aware of

2. where was theon sleeping? i doubt he was sleeping in his old bed chambers

3. oh man theon has really had some crazy eyes before he puncehd that guy

4. it’s interesting that theon is enjoying the hurt now but wont be later

5. “it’s all just a game”...yeah, a game of thrones :O 

6. damn, bran knows theon pretty well

7. man, this scenery is beautiful

8. ygritte is pretty good at reading jon right away...and succeeding at getting under his skin

9. i love the banter of her being a free woman but not really being a free woman if she is his prisoner

10. i cant help but thunk that the whole  this “land is my and but not your land” discussion reminds me of the whole takeover of native american lands back int the day

11. good question--why are they fighting? 

12. the actor who plays the new mountain has a good intimidating voice--but i am still glad they recasted him later

13. i looooooooove the shot when tywin looks at arya when she asks him if he has ever lost a war--SUUUUUCH a great close up shot

14. i think thats why tywin likes arya...because she reminds him of cersei

15. it’s nice to see tywin warm and affectionate but firm and not always hard like how we see him when he gets to kings landing

16. yeeeeees tywin, teach her the game of faces! 

17. if there was nothing in the vault, then what was xaro planning on doing with dany if he convinced her to go see it? 

18. “a man who is others say he is” makes sense

19. i always forget that mance was a member of the night’s watch

20. “you know nuthin’ jon snowwww” ho! she said it! now we can add that phrase to the repeated phrase drinking game

21. “theyre not my enemies” true true

22. what medical benefit does oil of roses have? 

23. damn you robb and your love...stop trying to impress talisa

24. guess what, theon, you WILL be seen as a fool and a eunich by your own people...even if you did succeed in finding bran and rincon

25. i think id much rather be seen as weak than cruel. i wouldnt want to choose but i could still be weak and nice. 

26. what did that guy find? must consult GOT wiki page

27. i honestly forgot that jorah left to go find a ship

28. good question: why are dany’s people

29. i wish dany had emoted her disbelief better about not believing that the people of westeros were celebrating visery’s return because she looks so naive and airhead in season 1 during that scene

30. i mean that is one way to distract someone

31. i still think that the handmaiden was the one who told cersei that sansa got her period

32. similar to tywin, it is nice seeing cersie being nice toward sansa and not so manipulative; it does reinforce that her only redeeming quality she has is her love for her children

33. i would really be surprised if sansa got married later on

34. young jaime is such a douche

35. he has a good sense of humor though

36. it is true...jaime is pretty useless without his abliity to fight well

37. damn...jaime hit that guy 9 times...thats soo much

38. i always forget that that’s how jaime escapes 

39. jorah is like “how the FUCK did you know that i betrayed her before?”

40. what the heck is she tattooing on his back? what religious purpose does that serve? 

41. but yay for man buttt

42. xaro subtext: the city opened for me, and so will you

43. bro, you look like you live in the house of the undying

44. so thats what lord carstark looks like? 

45. honestly though, there are too many tertiary characters in this show”

46. i do love how jaime realizes that cat is more wolf than fish..good personality comparison

47.  rain from above” aka wildfire?

48. at least tyrion admits when he is wrong

49. ugh i also do like the brief moment of hoensty between tyrion and cersei....i hope we can see that again in the future

50. jaime isnt wrong through...he is pretty honorable

51. cat...if only you could have resisted jaime baiting you

52. theon’s look “what have i done!?!”
