S2 EP7 - ‘A Man Without Honor.’

[Spooky]

Some very strong character moments in this ep.

Why did they have to end the scene with Catelyn asking for Brienne's sword?!

Best line: "It's hard to put a leash on a dog once you've put a crown on his head."

I give it a "25% Authentic" rating this ep, as most of it seemed to not come directly from the book.

Entertaining enough, though.  The warlocks of Qarth be some creepy sonsofguns.

If I remember correctly, a chapter in the book ends that way.

Oh, so they are capable of following the book.

Finally heard this:

I loved the scenes with Jon and Ygritte.

Does this season suck because they are deviating so much from the books or am I just expecting too much (like it to be as awesome as last year)?

[Spooky]

I think it's all about prospective. My unscientific poll from a sample size of about 20 or so folks (work/friends/family), where about 5 have read the books has the book readers seem mostly dissapoint, but the TV show only viewers seem to think it's just as good as season one with a couple of exceptions.

Personally I am enjoying it. The first few eps seemed rushed, but I feel they have found their story telling grove. I still wish they had 10 90 minute eps.

For me, each episode disappoints because it too-often feels like a particular scene should show up only to be drug on until an episode later.  By the time it gets shown, my anticipation is gone.  It's just too soap-opera for me in that aspect.

And honestly, I think they ruined Arya's story.  That alone could have made for a whole series. And WTH have they done with Dany's khalasar?


(I say "disappoints" but I do still find it an entertaining show)
