janie_tangerineFirst thing, which has totally nothing to do with the ep itself (strictly): WATCH THIS TRAILER NOW.
SHOW WHY DID YOU KEEP THIS TRAILER FROM ME. JAIME. JAAAIMEEE. AND THE FIRST SCENE. THE. FIRST. SCENE.
Brb having a fit. That said, on to proper reaction.
1. No, I'm still not over the YOU DON'T HAVE ME TO CALL ME YOUR GRACE WHEN WE'RE ALONE.
Seriously, you two damned liferuiners - I can't. No, seriously, that scene. THAT SCENE. I already read about people being all like 'omg Theon what an hypocrite' and I want to strangle them because seriously look at his face he REALLY means it, he really wants to do the alliance because it puts them on the same height and they'd both gain from it, and he seriously you can't say that Theon was lying his ass off in that. I just - AND ROBB'S FACE WHEN HE'S LIKE AT LEAST ONE OF US THINKS BEING CALLED YOUR GRACE ISN'T TOO BAD - people this ship. And and and and and you know he'll totally send Theon home and OH GOOOSH SOMEONE HOLD ME OKAY I'm shaking here.
Also: Robb's terms? ROBB'S TERMS? NNGH ROBB STARK YOU'RE MY FAVORITE FOR A REASON. Look at his face when he was like 'oh, so Joffrey is a Baratheon? XDDDDDD And when he was like 'I don't need anyone to do my beheading' ROBB YES WE KNOW SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THAT PLEASEsorry, not talking about books stuff anymore
2. Robb and Jaime. Do we want to talk about Robb and Jaime? MY GOSH NICOLAJ COSTER-WALDEAU MARRY ME. Okay maybe not but omg his delivery I can't. He's still such a total insufferable magnificent bastard. And when he was like 'hey never saw you with a girl, you sure you don't like your bff?' xD but Robb answering at him line for line OMG THE SNARK THE SNARK someone needs to write them having snarky and angry sex while Jaime is tied updamn, I know I'll end up doing it and THEN ROBB WAS LIKE HEY MEET MY DIREWOLF and - I couldn't. The epicness. I think I freaked out my twitter feed.
3. ... Davos. DAVOS. DAVOS. Liam Cunningham can I love your perfect PERFECT FACE FOREVER? ANd your longing looks at Stannis? ;) Also omg Stannis is perfect. I really like the guy playing him. And hahahahahh the scene with the letter I died. 'I hated Robert and he hated me so take out the much loved. Hey, ADD Kingslayer to Jaime Lannister, and WAIT, put Ser! He's still a knight!' oh Stannis. They said more about him in that scene than I thought someone could. Seriously Stannis. I didn't know how much I wanted you in flesh and bones until I saw you.
4. ... can we go straight to ADWD Melisandre? Damn, I felt horrible for poor Maester Cressen all over again. :///// ew Mel. Though Davos being like 'well your god is awesome but y'know what IT DOESN'T GIVE US SHIPS' was excellent. Go Davos. Ilu.
5. Someone should write odes about the prettiness of Kit Harington's hair. Seriously when Craster was like 'hey, you're prettier than half of my daughters!' I died. Pff. Also MANCE RAYDER MENTIONS YESSSS you can never go wrong with Mance Rayder. And Gilly! <3 and SAM! SAM! I HAD MISSED YOUR LOVELY, LOVELY FACE AND YOUR SOULMATE-NESS WITH JON AND EVERYONE AT THE WALL REALLY. Heck, I was glad to see Grenn. And Mormont is still the best out of the lot. <3 Wall people are my favorite generally, end of story.
6. SANSA.
DO WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT SANSA - I CAN'T EVEN. The first scene. Sandor helping her. THAT SCENE WITH DONTOS OMG. Sansa Stark you're flawleeesssss. Your face when you said your family was made of traitooorsss ;____; also good to see that Sandor is around this season.
7. Tommen and Myrcella are so adorable, I can't even.
8. .. Peter Dinklage how so good? You crack me up. 'The Hand of the king is in theory supposed to be in the small council' lol Tyrion. I can't. You crack me up so hard.
9. That said the less Shae I see the better. Especially if they're kissing Spiderman-like - seriously?
10. Fact: I like tv!Cersei better than book!Cersei. I still don't like Cersei generally but when she totally humiliated Littlefinger I was gleeing so hard, I couldn't. Not to mention that mmhhhhhhh that scene with Joffrey had its merits, but I'm not the right person to go write meta on either of them or their relationship so I'll leave it to people who can actually do it. That said thanks show for reminding me about the slaughtering of Robert's bastards - EXACTLY WHAT I DIDN'T NEED and exactly when I stopped actively disliking certain people in the books, but.
11. .. apparently we're stuck with Ros again. Alllriiight.
12. Dear ADWD, why did you totally make me uninterested in what Dany does regardless of what she's doing? Meh, I hope it changes next episodes. That said Iain Glen is too hot for that desert.
13. I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but excuse me if right now the only thing I can think about is how flawlessly fucked up are Robb and Theon. I can't. Really.
14. OH RIGHT. BRAN. BRAAAN <33333 and Winterfell and he doesn't want people to speak ill of Robb and Osha and Hodor and EVERYTHING ABOUT WINTERFELL except that of course everyone forgot that Rickon exists. Poor kid, I can't blame him if he grows up with abandonment issues.
15. AND YES CAT. OH MY GOSH MICHELLE FAIRLEY HOW SO FLAWLESS I can't deal with you. And with Robb. And with your relationship and with your interaction and with Robb being like 'we can go home' (MY TEARS STOP THEM) and with you going even if you just want to go back because you love your daughters that much OH CATELYN.
16. Negative things: the way the scenes were put together seemed a bit all over the place, too little of Arya (or well, you only saw Gendry but eh, they couldn't put everything in one episode) and no Brienne, but I have this idea that when I do get to see her it'll be awesomeness after awesomeness, so I'm willing to wait.
17. THAT. TRAILER.
18. Okay, this is obviously not getting any more coherent. This show is gonna kill me with all the flailing I'm doing. So now I'll just go and re-watch that trailer and find screencaps and wait for my friend so I can re-watch it and meanwhile:
No, I'll never get over this. Never.
SHOW WHY DID YOU KEEP THIS TRAILER FROM ME. JAIME. JAAAIMEEE. AND THE FIRST SCENE. THE. FIRST. SCENE.
