lol my thoughts exactly. I was thinking "can we get a frontal shot now please? Neck down of course."
You're not really meant to want to. Brienne's torso is broad and manly and doesn't exactly have what you and I would think of as tits. She's meant to be as plain as plain can be.
so did king slayer die then ?
No, he just passed out from the pain. I don't know if it came off that well on TV, but Jaime insisted on being awake while Qyburn cut, cleaned and burned his wound because he knew that if he took milk of the poppy, Qyburn would probably have cut off some of his arm while he was unconscious to stop risk of infection spreading. Jaime would rather risk further infection and die than lose any more of himself.
I know, sacrilege, but I don't think this translates well to a 53 minute per episode tv series. There's just too many characters and storylines to follow and consequently not enough time devoted to each. (Example: What's going on with bran and that weird kid and his sister? It's been like 2 episodes since we've seen them). This is from someone who hasn't read the books.
I'm with you in a way, after the first series aired and I read the books I really worried about how many groups of characters and settings there were, compared to the beginnings when you only had to keep your eyes on Winterfell, King's Landing, across the Narrow Sea, The Wall, and at times the battlefield, the Twins or the Eyrie. The last episode focused on just a few storylines and felt deeper for it, so I would expect the next episode to catch up with people we missed - Bran/Rickon/Osha/Jojen/Meera, the Night's Watch, the imprisoned Theon, and maybe even the King himself will grace us with his appearance. Did anybody notice the right royal prick wasn't in it this week? I get such a kick out of watching Joffrey being a cunt.
Sadly things are only going to get more diluted in terms of different stories being spread out. When Martin was writing the mammoth story he intended to be the 4th book and realized there was going to be too much for a single volume, he actually split it up into two books by halving the cast of characters rather than the timeline, so that
A Feast For Crows largely covers events in the capital, Dorne and the Iron Islands, and
A Dance With Dragons (to a point) deals exclusively with events at the Wall, in Essos in the North. Essos incidentally is the continent across the Narrow Sea, where Dany is. I wouldn't have used it's name, but spacearrow99 already has.
In book terms, it made sense to split the story up in that way. The first half of the story for both halves of the cast might have amounted to "lots of scene setting, not much happened" whereas
Dance is a fucking brilliant book with epic climaxes for both it's half of the characters, and those that were in
Crows. Since s3 of the show will go beyond covering "Steel & Snow" (the first half of the third book,
A Storm Of Swords), I would suggest that they make the fourth series a combination of the rest of "Blood & Gold" (that being the second part of
Storm) and what there is of
Crows that translates into watchable television, because as I mentioned, it's a bit of a slog in terms of "character A & B talk a lot, not much happens" and "character C & D walk a bit, not much happens." The alternative would be that they plan to make the remaining 3/4 of "Blood & Gold" into series 4 - and it certainly has enough action and a suitably fitting "big event" for the sacred episode 9 slot - and possibly to tell
Crows and
Dance simultaneously over the course of a 5th and 6th series.
At least they are running the "previously on Game of Thrones" spots at the start of the episode to remind you what you need to recall and to clue you in on who's stories we are getting this week. They're being very clever though, Daenerys has been in every episode. They know that she's the draw, along with The Imp.
