Ronnie says to me when I was a chisler 'sure if only there was a machine that washed the floors I'd nearly do it for Deirdre but there isn't so there youse goes. Swear to me ER if there is ever a machine that washes the floors and goes pssssssst you will do them in me honour'

Grenn and the boys are solid enough.

"Don't be lazy Ma"

"You're right son, hand me me rosary beads"

Didnt like the rape scene as others have said. Poor change fromt he book IMO. That said I dont remember them firing the barrells of chains into Meereen.. that was a f**king ace change.

WHat the fudge was going on with Littlefingers accent btw

Considering Baelish was from the Vale, grew up in the Riverlands and has lived for years in Kings Landing, it would be expected that his accent was a weird mismatch of a bunch of places

I figure he has heard all the criticism and is now just merking all the Brits\Celts by hamming it up.

Indeed. I thought he sounded Welsh for large parts of his chat with Sansa.

Original thread:

Poor LL. Given he definitely was reading what was contained in the spoilers anyway towards the end I dare say he will open this thread at some point, upset himself and want to have a rant but wont be able to.

I read the end of the chapter that he was fading out and dying, much like Catelyn's last chapter. Given what subsequently happened to her, resurrection is a distinct possibility but I definitely think he's dead at the end of ADWD.

Well they were stringing Brienne up by he neck, but she's definitely not dead because she managed to say one word before the noose tightened.

He doesnt mind leading the readeers astray.. seem to remember many believed Arya was dead when the hound struck her with his axe until it was revealed he did it with the handle to knock her out.

The Hound truly is a champion. I hope he turns out to be the Gravedigger.

I could give a shit about Brienne, but Podrick better not die.

Hopefully we'll find out by the end of the decade.

worst episode for some time for me

arya and the hound interlude was crap, real come down from the awesome chicken episode. I guess the current relationship was getting too cosy for arya's eventual departure. It's only 3 episodes since the hound said not stealing was part of his code. So now he's a hypocrite - out of character. And when she put the same thing to him his justification was lame.

the rest was dull for me, minor exception being Dany, but even then I was a little underwhelmed.

I thought it was a very good episode. sets up a few of the bigger stories nicely

Errrr, what? You remember his whole job to protect the now dead king that he abandoned?

I don't think he's evil or anything but he does what's best for him, always has really.

She was feeling lonely on the other thread



Does she get a bf or something in the books?

nah she is only like 7 years old in the books

.

God only knows. Maybe Aidan was forgetting which set he was working on ?

Littlefinger would have a f**ked up accent given the time spent in number of different places growing up.

Not really. I was born in Cornwall, moved to Shrewsbury, then Nottingham, then the Black Country, then just outside the Black Country, then went to uni in Durham and moved back to just outside the Black Country.

Received pronunciation.

The 'rape' scene isn't a great change, I agree. You're supposed to be pretty sympathetic to Jaime at this point, and full on hating Cersei for the time being.

Thought 3 was a good episode, does set stuff up well.

True....Drumcondra, Manchester and Baltimore will do that to a bloke.

My money is on FUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHKKKGHGHGHGHGgggggghhhkkkssssglopurgle…..

I think Aidan Gillen's native accent is a bit f**ked up as it is, nevermind when he's trying to sound "neutral".

Mind you, I never noticed his accent changing so frequently as Mayor Carcetti.

Well AGs accent certainly upped the Littlefinger creep factor this week: "What his relationship with Sansa becomes is quite interesting."

Forgot about Jon. I think I was just desperate to get to the end of the book.

I've been reading Brienne's bit at the mo. Actress has nailed her tone and manner of speaking completely. Really impressed.

How did you get tone from the book?

Are you kidding me.

Well I mean how I read something and how you do can be different.

Although I do think she has it nailed

God dany is getting so cheesy in the show. Quickly joining her book counterpart for the most dreaded character.

This last episode wasn't great at all.

Shag her though

fudge off, buzz killington. Start your own misery thread, for miserable plum.

Nope, it doesn't work that way.

Just felt like a filler episode really. The only thing of note that happened was Sansa climbing aboard Baelish's boat. Gillen needs to get a grip with that accent. He's being paid for this.

I thought it was all right, they were never going to top killing Joff, doesn't get any better than that. Plenty of good stuff to come up but they've got to set the scene, Tywin, Shae (maybe) Jamie discovering his missus has been shagging that drip Lancel. Dany and Bran gets boring though.

Bran would have to get interesting at some stage for him to ever be said to "get boring." He hasn't had an interesting chapter since he got pushed out the window, to the point where every time you read another of his you just wish the fall had killed him.
