I love Brienne, she is slightly nutty.
That laugh. Jesus.

It wouldnt have added that much and instead it showed more about why an existing character was important. One of the biggest problems of the books is that there are too many characters and narrowing it down a little isnt going to hurt. They need Daario more than they need Belwas IMO. If it plays out how I am expecting it to then it will improve them as well.

locusts will be more effective as a scene with Daario rather than Belwas

As for hating the wildlings not really. I hate the Thenns but they arent all wildlings and I think thats an imporant distinction. They are also good to build up the batst mental factor now Joffrey has gone.

It wasn't just the Thenns murdering innocent farmers. Scum the lot of them.

Anyone else really fooking hate the wildlings after last nights episode? Egritte included.
I do, whatever happens now jon will have to kill egritte as she has murdered innocent people. Can't wait for the wildlings to meet a proper army and get the absolute ste kicked out of them.

It wasnt but I think there is a distinction between shooting a farmer with a few arrows as opposed to eating him! Admittedly the end result is the same but I still think theres a difference between necessity and pleasure?

I get what you're saying but for me they are in the 'hope they all die' group.

In fact, since the red wedding there is a lot more bad than good in this show. frown

What has been lost from the books to the show is that there is a lot more made of the Wildlings motivations in the book as Mance spent more time explaining it to Jon Snow. The Wildlings are not coming south because they want to. If they stay north of the wall they will be killed by the Others. They have no alternative if they want to live other than to go South and get through the Wall. Most of them are normal people whose only real crime was being born the other side of an arbitrary divide built 8000 years ago. Even the Giants arent evil, they are just big.

Obviously there are evil people amongst the Wildlings but then there are plenty of them south of the wall as well. Tormund is one of my favourite characters and I quite like most of the Wildlings. Killing a few farmers isnt really that big a deal in the grand scheme of things

Agree on both counts! biggrin Brienne! biggrin


Also, the Hound...bit disappointed there. GoT is going going into it's BSG phase here. biggrin

I was gonna say how much I enjoy Sky Atlantic not talking over the credits, they have held off the last two eps, and it was really really enjoyable to allow the last scene to sink in. They talked over the credits this time. Shame.

I know a continuity announcer (Ch 4) and told her how much we hate that, but they are told to get in quick before people turn off or change channels. It REALLY annoys me... so I told her if I ever heard her do it, I'd let her tyres down.

I had hoped Sky Atlantic was growing up, sadly looks like the last two were blips.
I have complained to Sky on their fb page before. biggrin

I get why they're coming south as it is explained well enough in the series.

The best thing about GoT for me is that there is so much going on and more than the usual ' goodies vs baddies'.

That said, there is no coming back from cold blooded murder IMO.



I still like the Hound though biggrin
