I couldn't believe the episode was over when the credits came up, it went by so fast! I want to see more of Kaleesee (sp?) and her journey towards the throne. Nothing would make me happier than a dragon incinerating Geoffrey, lol.

Can't believe these episodes are going so quickly. You start watching it and before you know it it is over. Very good episode on Sunday.

I know exactly how you feel, this show just can't get any better. But it will. It always will.

Have to agree with pretty much every post. Was expecting a commercial and the ending credits came up. This episode was better than last, however after the fight last season and me watching spartacus between last and this season I need more action lol.

I enjoy the series, but there's is SO little going on. It annoys me greatly that they focus on so many characters per episode, because we see two minutes of snowy barbarians, two minutes of a ship at sea, three minutes of a whinging king and three minutes of a grumpy, expired knight. They should focus on less characters and give them more time...

They've done a pretty stellar job omitting and trimming characters (Ros for example is a combination of several ###### in the books), postponing character introductions (Reeds originally appear in the second book), but there's simply so much material that it could easily fill twenty episodes per season, something that unfortunately won't happen.

That's the reason they've split the third book (2/3 will be adapted this year), but trust me, A LOT happens, it's just that they need to use the first episodes to set up everything, there are a few more characters yet to be introduced.

I do hope they feature "Blackwater" style episodes more often, where an entire episode follows just one location and characters around it.

I agree, and it's not the fact that 'nothing happens' that annoys me, really, it is the fact that each character is present for a few minutes only. Really, I'd rather see the story drawn out and have more time for each character, or have some events cut out and told in some other way to make more space. That's what I mean with "so little going on". Perhaps I phrased myself poorly.

And yeah, I wish for more episodes that are entirely, at least mostly, focused something particular.

It's kinda sad to see people complaining about the pace. There's always been a lot of story-telling, this show mustn't be mistaken for a thrill-packed roller coaster ride.

In a sense it is a thrill-packed roller coaster ride. That's how the story is supposed to be. The negative side is that in the TV adaption, you barely get to experience that slow build-up as you reach the top of the track, instead, you are rushed all the way up.

Apart from that it's an excellent series and adaption of the books. More so than I had hoped for.

Great episode, things are starting to turn chaotic, it will get better and more insane with each new episode I think.

Episode discussion, no actual spoilers:

The chair scene was brilliant. Dany owned it overall, though, just the look she gave to Jorah, stone cold. And the end was, well... It was one of the most shocking things when I was reading the book, and it translated great to screen, even with altering the identities of the captors.

Does anyone know how many episodes we get with this and each book/season? Presumably they're an hour long and given how much is in GoT that must be a good 24 episodes?

There are ten episodes per season. And they are NOT watered down in any way. Lots of gratuitous sex, t*ts and ass. Season 3 is the best by far so far.

I really enjoy this show very much, but my complaint has to be that there are so many stories going on at once and not much really happens from episode to episode. I'd really like to see more battles or at least each episode concentrate on one of the story lines. It seems so fragmented that I don't even know what's going on sometimes. Before we know it, this season will be over and not much will have happened, unless one of the characters gets to King's Landing and takes a shot at the throne. I'm pulling for Kaleesee (sp), hehe.

I dont see her giving the dragon away like that. I bet she double crosses him by having the army transferred to her, then she just kills the guy and all who resist. I at least hope this happens. :)

I was expecting Jamie to get what happened to him, but damn if I didn't see it coming until the last second. This episode was just brilliant. Next episode is where it looks like **** hits the fan and all the action comes full force.

I also think that Pod was tricked and that the hookers were all paid before hand, and that the bag of money left was there just so that what happened next would make him feel even better. Knights die, but no one gets 3 hookers for free. What better way to be paid, than to have an epic story like that? Just amazing.

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

      The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
