Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended

Big onion bollocks would be just impractical, so each insult would be a reminder of his daily struggle.
 
Can someone explain the conversation Jaime had w/ the big woman in the bath?
My brother walked in on the phone during it, and Jaime was mumbling like an idiot...

He was explaining to Brienne what happened for him to get his 'Kingslayer' nickname. Aerys (the king he killed) was mad and paranoid, and was obsessed with fire. He burned anyone he believed to be a traitor with wildfire. He ordered stashes of wildfire to be hidden underneath all of Kings Landing, giving orders for them all be to set off should the city be taken.

When the rebellion forces (so the Lannisters, Baratheons and Stark's) arrived at Kings Landing, Grand Maester Pycelle advised Aerys to open the gates to the Lannisters. Aerys ordered Jaime to go and kill his father and bring his head to him. Then the castle came under attack and Aerys went mad, shouting 'Burn them all' and was going to set the wildfile stores alight. Jaime stabbed him then and slit his throat. Ned Stark walked in just after this happened, leading to his Kingslayer nickname. Jaime never told anyone the truth of what happened at the time because he believed that 'the honorable Ned Stark had already made up his mind as he walked through that door'.

I think that's the jist of it. I may have missed a few little details.

EDIT: Removed the spoiler. Thanks for telling me, Aldo. :)
 
As far as I know it says in the rules that you don't need to spoiler something that has been aired on TV, so those who haven't watched it should really not be looking into this thread.
 
Ah right ok, I'll remember in future. I've just been promoted so not used to the rules for this thread up here.
 
Thanks Waldner.

That's what I got from it also, just missed a few sentences during the scene.


Was always going to be a quiet episode after last week, that whole marriage discussion scene was so awkward...
 
Enjoyed that episode

I thought Jaime had got his groove back for a bit, he was back to his cocky best as he got in the bath (please don't miscontrue that) but the scene with him telling Brienne the truth (?) about the kingslayer story was excellent. Well it was excellent until he got sick, then it got a little overacted.

Tywin is an evil bastard, you even have to feel sorry for Cersei at times. Thought that scene with those two and Tyrion was also really well played out and it's going to be very interesting to see where that story arc goes. I wonder if Cersei may end up trying to kill her father, saving herself but unleashing Joffrey even more. One thing is certain though Tyrion and Cersei now have a common enemy and may have to work together despite their shall we say, frayed, relationship.

Ginger birds are ok with me.

Cracks are beginning to appear in Robb then, I wonder what his plan is to get this fella, whose daughter he was meant to marry, onside. He doesn't seem to have kept his marriage particularly hidden so marrying someone else doesn't seem an option, maybe he'll marry his mother off.

Poor Arya, people seem to be leaving her left, right and centre. I hope she doesn't get reunited with her family yet though, her adventures are great.

The reveal of the scaly girl was well done with her soft, innocent singing making it even more shocking. I'm thinking there may be more to her deformity than meets the eye. She seems pretty well rounded considering she is locked in a tower with a mother that keeps her dead brothers in jars
 
Maybe Jaime isn't quite as much of a cnut as we first thought then?

Still plenty of one though.
 
Thought it was a good episode. Jaime scene was great.
 
Just watched the last 2 episodes. Really loving this season so far, most episodes have been action packed. Unless the last episodes suddenly decline in quality it's got the making to be the best yet imo.
 
Pushing a kid off a balcony to die? Shagging your sister? Stabbing people in the back? Come on, perspective here

Yeah and what? I said 'not as much of one as we thought'. We can strike killing the king off the list of cnutish things he's done can't we? In fact it sounds like he saved a hell of a lot of lives knowing it would come at a big cost to him.

If you read back you'd see I mentioned how big a bellend he is and why.

Who has he stabbed in the back apart from the mad king though? The one who wanted him to kill his own father and was about to try and kill a ton of innocents. Unless you don't mean literally.
 
Still cowardly to stab someone in the back, hence the expression. Plus, incest and attempted murder of a child has to rank high up on the douchery scale
 
An even better episode than the last one. The show is becoming better and better.

Ygritte finally got naked, 'You know nothing, Jon Sno-o-o-o-w' :p.

Liked the scenes with Jaime, it looks like he's making a U-turn. Good that people know will understand why he did become a Kingslayer and he is not the evil person we though he was in first two seasons.

Robb Startk seems to be an even bigger idiot than his father. A man of honor, but not a politician. Regardless of what one of his biggest bannermans did, it was foolish losing all those forces.

Love Danny when he speak Dothraki.

And in the end, it was a great epilogue. The dialogue of Baelish with Sansa was great, but Tywin stole the show in the end. The biggest badass in the show by quite a distance.
 
Knew the ginger would go for it. She's had the dirty "stick your cock through my ginger pubes" look since day 1.

Yep. It was only a matter of time.

Changed your mind about the Jaime yet? It looks like he has saved 500000 thousand people by doing that cnutish act if backstabbing the Mad King.

Cowardly? He had 17 years old FFS and had to act fast. Killed the new hand of the king (the pyromaster) and then killed the mad king, before the order was heard and half a million people would be burnt.

The attempt to kill Bron (push him) cannot be defended though. Not a good act by him, brain dead in that moment.
 
Go away Raven. You have read the books, getting into an argument with you will only end up spoiling the show for me.

Feck off, I don't have that in intention and I haven't done anything similar in the past to make anyone think that I will do it.

I am not saying you will do anything intentionally, but knowing that you have read the books, if you are convinced on a particular theory, it will end up taking away the interest in any future scenes where that theory is being disproven just before it turns around, or something on those lines.

And again, would be funnier though if Bronn was randomly climbing the walls in Winterfell though, I grant you that.

feck off Sol, you know that I was talking about Bran. Just that they have stupid similar names :lol:
 
And before you say that she talked Valyria, not Dothraki, I know that.

You're acting like a fecking know-it-all though, which is enough for me to feck you off. Get out of here.
