HBO's Game of Thrones. [No Book Spoilers]

[The_Bloody_Nine]

As a guy who hasnt read the books, I found the buttrapescene a little too much as an idea. I suppose its what "men of the sea" do....

creation of the show...

[Anal Bleeding]

the almost buttrape scene was cool. anyone watch Spartacus?

[Tot.]

Did you guys also have country music after the final scene or was it just in my version?

I actually looked it up now since it seemed unreal to be intentional and found this gem.

 “To really hammer home the shock of that moment you need something unexpected. There’s no version of a traditional score that would keep you as off balance as we wanted that scene to leaving you feeling.”

“I can’t imagine having that conversation with Ramin [Djawadi] our composer — ‘Now we need the Jaime-gets-his-hand-chopped-off music,’” adds Benioff. who made his directorial debut with this episode. “What we always loved in An American Werewolf in London, we see our hero shot and killed and then his lover runs to embrace his dead body — it’s a sad ending — but then we cut to black and it’s [the bouncy 1961 Marcell's hit] ‘Blue Moon.’ And that jarring juxtaposition was fantastic.”

 

I hope this Benioff makes a remastered version of season one for DVDs. Then we would have a proper cowboy song after Eddard's beheading, that would be even more artsy than this, you know, American Werewolf and shit.

Arya: Let me go!
Yoren: Don't look!
*crowd cheering and shouting, executioner puts on the mask*
Arya: Nooo! Noooooo!
Yoren: Shut your mouth! Look at me! Look at me!!!
*everything quiets down, Eddard looks at the crowd*
*SHLOMP!*
fade to black with a guitar theme tuning in
...
♫ I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again...

Yea transition from  that tense scene with Jaime was really unexpected, but I guess they been the intention.

Anyway that was The Bear and the Maiden Fair from the book, but version from The Hold Steady.

Also a version of the Irish Moutarde is good.

the annoying never die, just like Carl in The Walking Dead, it's what keeps the rage flame burning and people watchin'

[Overdriven]

So anyone else think the guy who 'helps' Theon is the Bastard? Would make sense as to why the torturer chasing him says 'you little bastard' before receiving an arrow the face. Guess they are just giving Alfie Allen something to do this season. Same with Rob getting married in the second season as he isn't a POV character in the books.

at least the other fatty just got left behind in a kitchen, thats cool! but i'd rather see him dead, that way he wouldn't be able to return to the series later on.

Reminds me that I liked it very much how Arya just shortly asks the Hound if he remembers the place and then it is left unexplained what she meant.

[Casimir]

fucking hotpie, i hate him and everything he represents

what did it mean? is it the place where catelyn stark got her bannerdudes to rally around her or some shit?

[Turboflex]

someone most of the fans can relate to?

No it's the inn they stopped at on the Kings Road to Kings Landing in the first season. Where the butcher's boy (by the hound) and Sansa's wolf were killed.

[Rumblood]

Yeah it's a rendition from one of the songs from the book. Totally killed it for me, I shut of the credits as soon as that song kicked in so as not to ruin it.

That song was sung earlier in the show by the guys marching along in its appropriate style. I thought it was pretty cool to hear it in one style, and then hear it in a more modern one, though it was a bit Knight's Tale'ish.

[Tot.]

It was completely immersion breaking, I'd expect something that low and without understanding of composition from maybe shows like Spartacus, which are generally a pocorn flick with gore and tits already so one more country track in the end doesn't change a thing. In GoT, which I consider more to be Rome-class (though it has a terrible nosedive lately), it's like a big random splash of red paint on a realistic painting.
