Game of Thrones: The Watchers on the Wall (2014)
Absolutely Splendid!
The second on screen battle after the black water bay. I have to say this show is breath taking in every aspect. May it be the dialogues , the fights, the emotions, it just keeps climbing the top of the TV network ladder. OK , now the battle, as a book reader I really waited for this. Like Really!! . As soon as I read the battle my next thought was that how will it look like on screen and I gotta say the producers did one hell of a job. Although Martin wrote everything years before, but adding a little extra spice to the dish is always satisfying. The set was Splendid as always. The performance was top notch. Everything about the episode was a relief for the book readers and a surprise for those who haven't read. Also the death of Ygritte , well it did hit right in the heart, but hey! It's Game of thrones... You never know who's gonna be the next victim. So the battle ends, Jon and Sam survive and Lord Crow is on his way to meet Mance . Jon knows what he's doing ..... But if Ygritte was alive she would say " You know nothing Jon snow" and we're gonna miss that. "Night Gathers & Now My Watch Begins"
I have to say a big "thank you" to the writers , producers , directors and of course the Maestro GRRM for giving us such an epic show which is by far one of the best things that have aired on TV. Though it's a bit sad when you realise that there's only one episode left this year. The episode , that of course will decide the fate of Tyrion Lannister. *fingers crossed* Here We Go!!
Game of Thrones: The Mountain and the Viper (2014)
More shocking than the books.
The third last episode of the series start with , what's next to come in the show. The Wildlings have made their way to moles town and thus the slaughter begins. Killing what they can get their hands upon. But Gilly and her baby seem to survive the massacre due to Ygritte , we all know she could have taken their lives. Good to see there's still a little bit of humanity left in her. OR IS THERE??
A hundred men against a hundred thousand, a battle to decide the fate of castle black and what lies down below.. Jon snow and his brothers in black are up for the biggest battle of their lives.
"Sword in the darkness, watcher on the walls, the shield that guards the realm of men , " NIGHT GATHERS AND NOW MY WATCH BEGINS.
Baelish is trying to pull every string he can to get what he want. But what does he want?? That yet remains a mystery , well right now the husband to the deceased lady of the Vale has made up quite a story about her wife's death . Which is backed up by Sansa , who reveals her self in front of the other lords and the lady of the Vale. This is a little turn from the books but as long as it's amazing, hey who cares?? The show is as bright as the books and in some aspects much better.
Ramsay Snow, Oh I mean Bolton. Yes! Ramsay is now the true son of Roose Bolton warden of the North. Well thanks to the heir of the iron islands and son of Balon Greyjoy aka "REEK". Theon manages to get moat cailin for his lord and thus the Bastard son of Roose is legitimized. Happy are we now , eh Ramsay? What a Jerk!
Arya and The Hound manage to reach the Vale only to know that the beloved aunt is deceased. I still didn't quite understand what was the laugh about . Maybe she couldn't believe how her fate is turning out to be or maybe she was just excited to hear that another one of her blood has died.
Sayonara Ser Jorah. Well well, it's about time that Khaleesi gets to know what happened. Apparently ser friend zoned was a spy for Robert of the house Barratheon. That ended in Jorah falling in love with Daenerys which ended in Jorah being dragged into the friend zone. But it goes on as the queen hears the stuff he has done in the past and thus the friend zone is also no more for Ser Jorah who is asked to leave Meereen and so he does. That was quite a surprise and shock , will we get to see him again? Only time will tell.
And now the main event of the episode. The fate of the imp is placed in hands of "The Red Viper" of the Dorne Oberyn Martell. One of the best warriors in the seven kingdoms. Whose on for some justice gets to face "The Mountain" Gregor Clegane. But what Tyrion failed to realize is that a Snake has no hands , it moves swiftly and with a chance it strikes down it's opponent , but what if the rival is a mountain? . Well we all now how that ends. First of all the set was splendidly awesomely well designed , crafted and built. Next, the lines taken from the book " I'm going to kill it" ,"you murdered her, raped her, killed her children". That role could not have been played better. Pedro Pascal brings the prince of Dorne to life on our TV screens with the splendid acting and performance. But the life was short as we saw one of the most gruesome deaths ever. Seriously I don't remember it being that horrific in the book. There were punches and he bruised , and died. But Dan and David are one of their kind , the producers like gore and violence more than the Maestro George R R Martin. Poking eyes? And smashing the head with bare hands? WHAT THE HELL did I just see? I was waiting for the fight and as I really liked Oberyn in the book I built up the courage to watch his death , but this was unexpected . I'm still shocked and I really don't wanna watch this episode again. Because it's that splendidly horrific . *slow claps* well done producers , well done!!!! . Hats off to the cast as well. Who keep pushing the show to the very top of the TV network.
Game of Thrones: Mockingbird (2014)
Just can't get enough
I'm kinda late writing this review so, I will try to cover up as much as I can and as fast as I can. The episode begins with another amazing dialogue exchange between the two Lannister brothers Peter and Nickolaj, The "Golden son" won't be able to fight for his little brother, because "the kingslayer" is cripple now and according to him he can't even slay a pigeon. Well Tyrion's only hope left is the sell sword made knight , Bronn . Oh well, destiny's a B-word . And Cersei has her hands tied up where ever she can, The turns in the show , the happenings we don't expect the strange outcomes , that gives the real grace to the Game O' Thrones. So about Bronn , he is about to marry a Lollys stokeworth and he wishes to become the lord there. Also the last few words between the two friends were kinda sad. Therefore Tyrion's gotta fight The Mountain by himself, who has just arrived in the capital on the "mother of madness'" demand . Talking about the mountain , who hates him the most? Yes that's right the Red Viper Oberyn Martell, The Dornish prince whose sister and her children were murdered by the big brother Clegane. After the amazing little thought exchange between Tyrion and Oberyn , he decides to become the champion for the little Lannister to exact vengeance on the Mountain. The happiness flows through the dwarf cause he just got one of the best fighters in the Westeros on his side.
The landscapes where they shot the travels of The Hound and Arya are fascinating. Also every scene played by Maisie Williams and Rory McCann is just outstanding. I always kinda hope to wait for the little talk between the two which is just amazingly scripted and played.
Daario, got what Jorah couldn't . The guy has charm and more over he has guts. So I think he made out with Daenerys which was well, we all kinda knew it was coming. But poor Ser friendzoned Mormont could do nothing but watch Daario walk out of her personal quarters, so Jorah talks to Daenerys about some Yunkai stuff and so on and she decides to do as he said.
I will wrap things up by the main event of the episode."The not so little finger" Petyr Baelish . Did Petyr just kiss the Stark girl? Holy S-word, dude she is at the age of being your daughter . This guy is crazy as *#$@ . So the loving wife to Petyr and the Aunt to Sansa witnesses the moment, calls the girl and is about to make her fly through the moon door , when the Saviour arrives . He loved only one woman and that was the other Tully girl, pushes the aunt through the moon door , with this Petyr's list of "Blood on my hands" is increased by plus one.
Overall the episode was EPIC as ever, the more I watch the show the more I can't get enough , even though I have read all the books, but watching these guys and girls come alive and played by the outstanding cast is just heart warming. I love this show and it'll be really sad to witness the end of this season after another three weeks. But I hope the next book comes out ASAP so we can all hook up with the GOT madness again.
Game of Thrones: The Laws of Gods and Men (2014)
Another Saturday night, Another great episode
It's about time!!! . The bastard son of Valyria, "Braavos" makes it's first appearance on screen as it also becomes the part of the opening sequence of the show "Dat Titan of Braavos tho" . Braavos is famous for many things , one of which is the Iron bank. The bank is known through out to provide gold to Westeros and fund in wars, The reason why Stannis visits the place. The man wants the throne real bad. Also it was such a delight to see Mark Gatiss play the braavosi banker. The conversation was well scripted and much better played by the three actors. So, yeah The bank finally decides to fund Stannis after Davos shows the banker his plucked fingers which Stannis took for his past crimes as a smuggler. Well, if only that could work for me in a bank. Will this gold be enough for the man to make a big army and get a bunch of ships ? , well he certainly got the pirate Salladhor on his side. All we need to do now is wait for the show to tell us if the brother of Robert really does win the iron throne.
What would you do if your brother is being torn apart from both the outside and inside? Well if you're an Iron born you would definitely take your best men and get your brother back. (This is just if you're a woman ). So Yara Grejoy travels from the Iron islands to Dread fort to save her baby brother. It goes well until she meets Theon. OH! Did I say Theon? .. How silly of me , I meant Reek. Yes that's right Yara your precious little brother is dead. Tormented and brutally mutilated , Ramsay has made the prince of the Iron islands his play thing. Theon would have ran away with his sweet sister but Reek, Reek has no sister, only a master for whom Reek must do whatever he asks. So Yara and her men have to run away from the place after Ramsay releases his hunting dogs on her. The sister now believes that "Theon is dead"
Yayy Dragons....... Yayy Drag..... Yayy D.... Ya.....Y ... So finally . Finally!!! We got to see a dragon. But not as expected to be seen. Of course a dragon is a monster , having no sense of right or wrong "Can't be Tamed" according to Ser friend zoned. The Shepperd was unfortunate or maybe he wasn't . Well! At least he got a huge sum of money for the price of food Drogon took from the Shepperd. Also we got to see Hizdhar , Yes Hizdhar!! .. Oh . Oh yeah, so Hizdhar is the lord from one of the oldest houses in Meeren. The man tells the queen that his father was a good man and so on... Asking to give him a proper funeral and so on.. What I really want to talk about is the throne room. Yes! What a set!! . A miniature version of the throne room in the Red keep, with Daenerys sitting high. Well done guys! , I'm sure the book readers weren't disappointed at all by the creation of this set because it is almost the same as GRRM wrote it in his Novels.
The little chat between "The spider" Varys and "The red viper" Oberyn was quite deep I thought. It held and hid a lot of secrets and thoughts which we didn't realize. Well, Not yet. Especially the last thought of Varys , when he speaks about the pursuing of dreams and gazes upon the iron throne. Let's wait and see what yet remains unseen.
The Imp is back. Exactly! Tyrion of the house Lannister is called upon trial by his lord father "The hand of the king". After each of the witnesses are called upon and asked to speak. Meryn, Pycelle, Cersei and also Varys did not fail to kill the dwarf's hope for that he might yet live. We have all started to like The king slayer now. He loves his imp of a brother and asks to form a deal with Tywin and give up king's guard only if the father spares his son's life . The deal is made and Tyrion's to be sent on The wall. BUT!!!! The little hope left in Tyrion is taken away as his lover Shae appears and starts her confessions against him. Heart Broken and losing all hope. The actor Peter Dinklage comes alive in Tyrion. Peter you beauty!!!!!!. What a moment that was. When he starts confessing of his crimes as an imp and outrages on everyone present there. That dialog could not have been played better . Hats off to the amazing actor , he should have won an Emmy right on the spot. So the final moments of the episode come to an end with Tyrion demanding trial by combat and rains of castamere being heard by the viewers. Well done producers. WELL DONE. They just keep delivering every Saturday night with another master piece
Game of Thrones: First of His Name (2014)
A new king in the same old Westeros
What does Margery really want? Well if it's to be a queen then she needs to stop that already , I mean really? First Renly then Joffrey I don't wanna see poor Tommen get stabbed by a shadow that looks like Stannis or get poisoned at his own wedding. Yeah, so Tommen of the house Baratheon (Lannister) first of his name sits the Iron Throne as the king of seven kingdoms and protector of the realm. Yeah " First of his name " as the episode's title suggests.
Daenerys likes ships , of course she does , she can't expect to swim all the way across the narrow sea or fly on her dragons which by the way according to Ser Jorah (Friend zoned) Mormont can't be tamed. Well there goes her hopes. Thank you Ser Mormont. Also there's a revolt started in the slaver cities , Astapor and Yunkai , well let's see what will she do about that. Guess she's gonna *puts on shades* RULE "yeaaaaaaaaah"
Sansa and Peeta reach the Eyrie . Oh she musn't tell anyone who she is. Only Little finger and his wife Lysa Arryn and her son Robin knows about the Stark girl. Yeah I said "WIFE" . Well here's something new Jon Arryn wasn't killed by the Lannisters after all. What were those drops? Of course it can only be poison , what else? So Peter gave the drops to Lysa to poison the hand of the king , her husband??? . This changes everything . All the starks would be alive now and living happily in Winterfell , none of this would have started. Well to be honest it started when Robert killed the last dragon Rheagar on the trident , but that's all in the past now . So is lady stark ,whom Peter loved and just due to that love this cold hearted guy saved her daughter. So Sansa's aunt and Peter get married right on the spot. She's a little crazy from above having her doubts about Sansa , wondering that Sansa will take him away from her. After all she is the daughter of the woman Baelish wanted.
Arya should get an armour and a long sword if she really wants to kill someone. That's what The Hound says who by the way is also on Arya's precious hit list.
The adventures of Brienne and Podrick. That could be a real good short novel or an actual novel, depending on when does she find Sansa. But sadly she is on her way to The Wall . *sigh* someone please tell Lady Tarth that the girl isn't on the wall protected by her half brother Jon Snow, who by the way also isn't.
Jon and his brothers in black move out to Craster's keep to kill or capture the men of the night's watch that have taken the place and have been using every thing that they can get their hands upon. Sadly , the loyal and trusted Bannerman of Bolton is there for some other business. The guy finds Brandon Stark but Hodor finds him first. That strength tho. HODOR!!!! . So Jon and his men killed all the lot. Bran also had a chance to meet his brother, and he also needs to reach the raven beyond the wall. You know what they say , Ravens before crows. Ah well that was so lame of me . So yeah , The keep is burned along with the men that held it as the flames turned to black smoke and met with the wind that blows heavily in the land beyond the wall.
Game of Thrones: Oathkeeper (2014)
Gets Better and Better
That top view from the great pyramid of Meereen. *slow claps* Well done guys. Also, sacking a city has never been made easier. Yes that's right! Give weapons to the slaves and voilà! The city is yours. Daenerys takes Meereen , the shackles are off and the shouts of Mhysa "mother" are raged through out. But it was time for the mother to answer "injustice with justice". 163 children answered with 163 masters nailed down on posts. And the flag of the Targaryens covering the harpy as Mhysa gazes out at her new city. YES! That moment just couldn't get any better.
"The king slayer brothers" well that does has a certain ring to it. But sadly that's not gonna happen cause the imp is quite sure he never poisoned the king. Jamie finally decides to visit his baby brother. Nice exchange of thoughts between the two, the dialog was well written and much better played by Peter and Nikolaj. Jamie is quite sure that his brother would never kill his son but his thoughts aren't quite same for Sansa.
Petyr Baelish wants "Everything". Lord little finger is taking the stark girl to her aunt. And did he just claim that he was behind Joffrey's death? Well, wow! Who knew that he would have so much tricks up his sleeve or did he now? , on the other hand will Sansa Stark trust him, just like her father did? We all know how that ended. Let's just hope that the girl reaches her aunt safely.
ICE , the Valyrian great sword passed down through Starks, meets it's end at king's landing. The sword was reforged into two blades one of which was given to Jaime and the other to the king. Jaime gives his Valyrian steel to Brienne of Tarth and entrusts a duty upon her . "It's reforged from Ned stark's sword, you will use it to defend Ned stark's daughter" "OATH KEEPER" she names it, to Honor lady Stark's promise, through the sword the title of the episode is born . Jaime gives her the sword , the Armour and also Podrick Payne the loyal squire of Tyrion Lannister to find Sansa Stark and protect her. Thus their journey begins. Wish she knew that the stark girl is in a ship on her way to the Vale. Oh well , more the mystery , more the fun.
Furthermore on castle black we saw some new recruits joining the watch. Wait, is that Locke?.. Yes! The man who made the king slayer cripple . A trusted banner man of Roose Bolton on the wall? Is he there to kill Ned stark's bastard? Let's wait and find out . So Jon snow is ready to march towards Craster's keep to capture or kill the brothers who broke the vow and murdered lord commander. Those are some nasty people . And Bran and company gets caught by the nasty people , furthermore he reveals himself as Brandon Stark of Winterfell. Hurry up Jon snow you better reach the keep before they start playing with their prize.
This show just never ceases to amaze it's viewers. Remember the babies that white walkers took. Well we finally got to see what happens to them. In my opinion , making a show after the books has it's perks. We can tight up some lose ends. Not that I'm saying there are, but you can improve some things from here and there. The babies are taken away into the north and they are turned , "TURNED INTO WHITE WALKERS?" OMG!! Who knew that? Well, hats off to the amazing producers on the show . Every other episode is another master piece. Well done guys, WELL DONE
Game of Thrones: Breaker of Chains (2014)
On the move
Game of thrones moves on , as each of the characters climb another step on the ladder of their destiny. Will they all make it to the end? We don't know that yet, but what we do know is that many of our beloved have fallen this ladder.
Now comes Tyrion, We all love the noble imp and no one wants to see him dead for some thing he did not do. we do hope that he doesn't slip his foot off this climb.
Cersei loves her children , but no more than Jamie loves her. Yes, we saw Jamie loving a "HATEFUL WOMAN"..
Oberyn Martell on the small council? Yes, How convincing of you Lord Tywin, Of course the richest man in Westeros gets what ever he needs even if he has to bargain one of his own .. "The mad dog of Tywin Lannister". we would really love to see Oberyn and Gregor Clegane meet, quite a moment that would be, as the prince of Dorne wants revenge for his late sister. The mountain killed her and her children on the orders of Tywin Lannister. the master commands and the dog obeys. someone like Oberyn would not let that pass. Bad blood between the two families??? YOU BET!!
Furthermore we saw Sansa and Arya the two stark girls , each on their separate paths. Lord little finger is not that little after all , his love for the mother of the girl still lives as we saw him planning her escape from the snake's pit also known as King's Landing. Lucky Sansa but not so lucky Ser Dontos , of course Peter Baylish doesn't want to leave any lose ends , the guy is cold hearted as always. Giving Dontos the reward for his struggle by putting an arrow through his face. Let's wait and see what he really means to do with the stark girl. On the other side Sandor Clegane wishes to take Arya to her aunt, more like sell her to her aunt. Blood brothers these two, Sandor and Gregor and the blood is not so nice after all.That is no way to treat someone who gives you food and shelter , well what can we say , we all kind of expected that.
The Wildings are also on the move as they make their way towards castle black, killing humans is what they're good at OR eating them , well if you're a "THENN" the clan who just joined Tormund and his band. Will there be a war? will Jon and Ygritte meet again? Is castle black ready for them? let's wait and find out.
Daenerys and her children reach Meereen and there is no welcome party? how rude of you Meereen.... OH WAIT! yes there is and it's not so welcome also it's not a party , The champion of Meereen has no right to humiliate the mother of dragons , speaking of dragon we didn't see them .. where were they? probably hunting or something. Now back to the champion , yeah so the champion was no match for the charming Daario , Don't we all think he really loves her? OH... Ser Jorah will not be so delighted. Furthermore after Daenerys's arrival speech she fired barrels into the city which contained broken chains and thus the title of the episode was born "BREAKER OF CHAINS".
Game of Thrones: The Lion and the Rose (2014)
The wedding maker and the King breaker..
GRRM has a thing for weddings, we can all say now that he despises them, more than enough. First the slaughter of the king in the north,his wife,his unborn child, his mother and all his troops in the "Red wedding". Now GRRM strikes again in a much more brutally humble kind of way, The boy king, Joffrey of the house baratheon (Lannister) becomes the victim of the master mind behind the stories.Being poisoned on your own wedding is quite a way to die, it makes others feel sorry for you even if you are being hated in the seven kingdoms and beyond. The show is like a roller coaster , only the difference is no one knows if you will reach the end safely or make it to the end at all. Now all of us can only pray that our beloved characters survive this ride. George has said this before that he isn't afraid to kill his characters as it takes a lot of courage to kill someone who has been a part of your books for so many years.Now that we have seen more than our fair share of shocking outcomes of some major players in this game of thrones...... Buckle up guys , this is gonna be a hell of a ride.
Game of Thrones: Two Swords (2014)
A start expected..
With season 4 making it to the screens, many a reviews came out as the season didn't began as they expected it to be. As GRRM still on the 6th book of the "a song of ice and fire" series, the producers are in no hurry to catch up to him, as each of their yearly season is based upon each book Martin wrote in quite a lot of time. Seeing as the producers have to cover up a "storm of swords" that was half left with the end of the previous season, I'm quite sure they think of covering up this book as well as the next in the series "A feast for crows" . With 10 episodes each year, they can fill up as many gaps as they can and try to go with the books but going according to the pages will be quite a lot of work and since each season has an yearly gap between it , this idea would seem impossible. Furthermore the 4th season of Got began with a good start as they have to cover up a lot of story in coming 9 episodes, let's just hope they deliver 180 days of shooting with pure excitement.
