I actually felt bad for your boy last night, Noelle!

I actually felt bad for your boy last night, Noelle!

I'm not sure his life can get much worse! And I say this objectively speaking, not just from a fan girl perspective

My husband had a look of horror on his face for 10 mins straight after that part and he kept shuddering .

Interesting episode, I'm glad gendry knows what's going on now. Daenerys was badass as usual, the dragons were awesome.

Jamie and brienne seriously have this complex relationship. I don't think it will turn into a lover-ish relationship but its definitely loyalty and They care about each other platonically, at least.

Jon snow and Ygritte are cute but I think something bad will happen to them. Bran's story is boring.

 

[Noelle610]

I'll get back to you girls when I see it.... I suppose this is the true test of love, do I still want to be princess of the iron islands if my king has no dick.

 

[bananaz]

Oh man that episode was tough As soon as that girl started reaching in his pants I thought "Welp, there goes his weiner." I was scared they were going to rip it off with their hands or something, so really the way it turned out was better than expected.

 

[bookworm0901]

I'm sorry, but after days of torture, malnutrition and dehydration, there is NO way he could have sex, even if two hot naked girls were all over him. He's kinda always such a horny dude though.

 

[Noelle610]

Okay, so I watched! I have an early work meeting but I got up to get on the computer specifically to discuss this with you girls, so you better appreciate me

I loved this episode!

I'm not crazy about Robb's girl, but I thought that whole scene was really hot/sweet.

I like the dynamic between John Snow and the red head (I can't spell her name) and I think the cultural element brings an interesting twist to their story.

So Tywin is basically running the kingdom without Joffrey. Nice move. I love how they're underestimating the dragons because their "people" are giving them bad intelligence. It's a nice parallel with modern politics, especially in the US.

I didn't realize that Gendry didn't know he was Boratheon's *******. I also think Arya is safer with the Hound than those other guys. I was remembering how kind he was to Sansa.

Jamie + Brianne = awww. I can't believe I'm beginning to like the man who pushed an innocent kid out a window and paralyzed him. Oh and I don't care about Brann's storyline. Hope it gets more interesting. On a side note, that actor has aged 10 years since the beginning of the show. Ah, puberty.

I love, love, love the Sansa and Margery scene. I have a girl crush on Marge. They have great chemistry. When Marge told Sansa she knew about sex because her mother told her I almost died! Thought she made a good point, also - Sansa could do way worse than Tyrion. I have a feeling that things aren't going to go well between him and Shae...

Dany is full of awesome-ness, as per the usual. I love that she's like queen of the people now. Khaleesi!!!! And she looked great. Seriously, this show could turn me onto women if it weren't for Alfie. Which brings me to...

I'm sorry, but after days of torture, malnutrition and dehydration, there is NO way he could have sex, even if two hot naked girls were all over him. He's kinda always such a horny dude though.

Okay, so that was terrible and awful. I thought the same as you, but I also thing that some men are easily aroused from a physical standpoint regardless of desire/consent. We were talking about this recently in the "rape culture" thread in News & Debates.

Taking off my fan girl hat for a minute, the Theon storyline is absolutely heart breaking. I have an idea of where it's going based on what I know from the books and I was really hoping they were going to deviate, because it's hard to watch. Here's the thing: I know Theon is the "villain", but I truthfully don't think he's a terrible man. He was basically given as a hostage to the Starks and while they treated him well, they still would have fucking killed his ass had his father made any move toward rebellion. He went home in hopes of reuniting with his real family only to be mocked and shamed. Yes, he's a dick, he treated women like shit and killed innocent people. But I really think his storyline is a product of the winners writing history. Most of the men (and women) in the books/show have killed innocent people, including Robb Start who is held up as the paragon of virtue. I don't see Theon's treatment as deserved retribution for his crimes. Ramsey is a sadist and I find the whole thing difficult to take.

Yeah, I was thinking that too, especially given how much blood he must've lost!

 

[luna_19]

Really liked this week's episode! Love that Jamie went back for Brienne
Poor Theon, did he actually lose his manhood? I felt like it was just implied. And what is up with the red priestess? First she was with Stannis and now she's with Robert's "son"? Weird

 

[bookworm0901]

I think he lost his...balls? Can you live without a penis? You have to pee....

I think The Lord of light bullshit is an excuse for melisandre (red priestess) to have this power and they don't have to explain it. She can just 'know' things and its cause The Lord of light 'told' her. Whatever, I hate that storyline.

I think he lost everything, poor guy You can live without a penis. I can provide proof but I'm not sure you want to see The bald dude is lacking in that department too isn't he?

I agree with you about the red lady and the Lord of Light stuff. That storyline just makes me irritated.

 

[Noelle610]

I think Ramsey was aiming for the balls, but I doubt he didn't a very "clean" job, if you know what I mean.

That red headed woman is highly irritating. Sometimes I turn to my husband and say, "Babe, the night is dark and full of terrors. Just thought you should know". I'm not sure how she delivers her lines with a straight face.

She does the crazy eyes so well too.

I keep spoiling stuff for myself with Google, haha. Curiosity just gets the better of me and then I see a whole bunch of stuff I wasn't looking for!

Oh god, I don't know if I want proof! Lol. Isn't Varys a eunuch, which is castrated, which is no balls? I think your right that Theon lost it all.

For me, it's not even the mechanics of the situation that are upsetting - it's the psychological aspect. This guy obviously knows a lot about Theon. He's trying to break him completely and take away everything that makes him human. It's devestating.

 

[bananaz]

I thought that too but then I remember them saying something about Varys' manhood being cut off "at the stem"

Oh God I don't remember that! But I don't think he was castrated in the "normal" way. It was by that sorcerer guy, so I'm sure it wasn't done "legitimately". I'm using the quotes because I can't refer to castration as normal or legit lol.

If you go to the wiki of ice and fire website, they have an excerpt about Ramsay Bolton With details of his sick, sadistic personality. I'll post part of it if anyone is interested, no Theon spoilers, just things it says Ramsay has done in the book.

Spoiler

Ramsay openly enjoys abusive and sick practices such as having young women stripped naked and released into the Bolton forests, before hunting them with a pack of feral dogs. He gives a quick death to women who give him good sport (after raping them first), then flays their corpses. He likes to name his dogs after the women he enjoys most to "honor" them. The women who don't give him good sport are raped and then flayed alive. All the skins of his kills are brought back with him to the Dreadfort as gruesome trophies. The bodies of the woman are fed to his dogs.

Also, in the book, all that stuff that Theon did to bran and Rickon (That he really did to the orphan boys) was done for Theon by Ramsay. He likes to 'flay' people alive- which I had to look up to see that means take off their skin

Wow, Ramsay's a pretty special guy isn't he? I LOVE the guy playing him on the show, I think he's a brilliant actor. And kinda cute

 

[SisterRose]

Yeah, the guy who plays Ramsay is Iwan Rheon and I have a huge crush on him since the show "misfits" on channel 4. I've been super excited about seeing him in game of thrones

I do feel really sorry for Theon, he really doesn't deserve what he gets.

I love the actor too! He's doing a great job. He and Alfie have great chemistry - he seems legitimately terrified of him.

Here's an article from Rolling Stone I read recently. I imagine these scenes would really wear on you after awhile....

https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/game-of-thrones-q-a-alfie-allen-on-the-passion-of-theon-greyjoy-20130423

It really was demoralizing at times. It was hard. It was really, really hard. I would spend probably about an hour and a half to two hours just tied to that cross, and it wasn't nice. But whatever – I just get on with it and I use it. And Iwan was really great as well. When we were doing it, he was always there. He'd just talk to me. I didn't have to do any acting toward a double.

There was definitely some stuff going on in my life then which I used as well. There's a scene later on where I basically just fucking broke down. I remember Iwan, on the day, didn't really know if he should continue or if he should stop, because I was really really, really breaking down. That's one scene I'm definitely excited to see.
