GAME OF THRONES #9:-Baelor ACT 9 Chapter 1-2011

[Klaus]

I'm curious... has Sean Bean ever made it to the end of a film?
...
We should have expected the outcome.

Troy. He was Odysseus.

The battle of the whispering wood was done just fine in my opinion. As in the novel, it's seen through Catelyn's eyes, and since she isn't a direct participant in the battle, we only get her impressions through the sounds she hears coming from the wood, followed, of course, by it's outcome. That's often the case with Martin. He shows when showing works well, and tells when telling does. Since all of the battles are seen through the worm's-eye view of whoever the POV character is, his battles are never going to be sweeping affairs. They'll always be the perspective of one character in the midst of a mass of swirling chaos.

I agree for the most part; the episode was perhaps better served without large battle scenes. What I would have liked to have seen was Jaime going after Robb in the Whispering Wood. It could have been a whole two minute scene of Jamie cutting down Robb's men to get to him, but without a resolution either way, which would have put a lot more suspense on the outcome of the battle. I think that followed by the scene we did see of Catelyn and Rodrick sitting at the edge of the woods awaiting the outcome would have been a more powerful telling, IMO.

I imagined him in the scenario, saying to the assailant, "winter is coming...".

And as a follow up. "Can you s**t gold?"

Another good episode. Definitely the one where everything starts to unravel. What with all that's happening I can't help but wonder if by the end of the novel series there's going to be anybody left alive. Definitely want to see what Dance of Dragons has to say, but a lot of my favorite characters died in this first season/book.

[sblock]I think the only two characters guaranteed to survive are Jon and Tyrion. Everyone else, I believe, should be looking over their shoulders.[/sblock]

 

[Remus Lupin]

I think there's every reason to think Dany will make it to the end as well.
