The guys that captured him are low level soldiers. He is an expert at manipulating people much smarter than them. I think he knows perfectly well that between now and the journey to a port he can turn them easily.

"BitchFist" Really? That's her nickname?


That's the name of her SHIP.

This was not in the books, made up for the TV series.

Either that or he knows they will make a mistake along the way and he can escape. But I think his current plan is just to stay alive until opportunity shows itself.

SO glad they/them is dead. Just an unnecessary HBO-ish character. Gross.



Episode was legit, but man I do really hate every character on the show except the uncle Targ.

damn, i just finished and loved every second. Didnt expect to come hear and hear people say how horrible it was

A lot of posters here dont have lives/jobs so they live to critique everything like its supposed to be Shakespeare or Tolkien.

And if there is one casting choice or decision they dont like they take it as a personal affront to all their beliefs.

I hate ryan condal and his decisions but that was a fun episode. I doubt he can keep it up an entire season so i can at least give credit where its due for the good episode.

The difference is the writing (and directing)

AKOTSK’s dialogue was written by GRRM. HOTD is written by screen writers. And they all suck now

I thought the directing in this first episode was God awful. The pace was stupid and the cut scenes back and forth were irritating.

Sorry if this is Germans, but I heard on a podcast today this was supposed to be the finale of season two but HBO was sold and the writers strike was happening in 2013 and they just didn’t have time to finish it and had to push it to season three.

I appreciated the action but it was just a chaotic episode. Was very predictable that Jace would FAFO. Bummer they lost a dragon but didn’t care that he died.

Naval battles were so close up I couldn’t tell which team was whipping who. Then the whole crap with seasnake and bitchfist and for what was all that about?

Then the girl huffing and puffing and moaning and griping and saying “no Sheepstealer no” over. And. Over. Got irrationally annoying. Like why did she bring an untrained dragon to a fight who destroyed like both sides?

And then there was the dark haired prince dude (sorry I’m terrible with names. GOT taught me not to care about characters since they all die ) locked his Mom in her castle? By what authority? And then he goes and gets his dragon and himself killed. Way to go kid. Your plans were stupid every single time you dumb little bastard.

I think it’s way harder to film naval battles and be able to see anything. It seems however that the red team lost bigly at that battle.

And that was just the first episode.

I swear if Carter shows up drunk and throws a bulls head off the wall at the Cattleman’s Ball, I’m done. But I think at this point the Red Queen could use a Rip right now. (Sorry Dutton Ranch bled into review. Still pissed off about both episodes I suppose).

You had to pay attention to season two and listen to the dialogue in this episode to get it.

Because she thought she had control of him. She obviously did not know he was a wild card in a battle. Pretty simple.

Again, you had to listen to the dialogue.

You're definitely not paying attention, there is no red team.

Yeah I did but they both fricking died. The Lannister dude and the bitchfist person.

Right so she was fricking stupid. Which is my point.

Yeah I did. He was scared for his Mom. But last I checked the fricking Queen outranks a bastard son.

You’re obviously not watching the same show. Because the folks at Kings Landing and the one eyed dude is on team Green. The Queen at Dragonstone or wherever is on the red team. That seasnake dude was from somewhere else and he was black sails but he’s fighting for Team Red.
And apparently they lost.

I think you are trolling but the red team you refer to is actually the black team. Its greens vs blacks.

You were asking about the Sea Snake and bitchfist (which is just the name of the ship in the Triarchy) and said "What was that all about?" I mean it was about quite a lot, just because two people dies does not mean it was pointless.

"One eyed dude" is Aemond Targaryen. Yes he is green.

Rhaenyra Targaryen. That would be the blacks, not the reds.

That is Corlys Velaryon. He's Lord of Driftmark and leader of Velaryon. Not sure what black sails you're talking about but he's for team black.

Nobody has won.

Now which one of us is watching the show?
