Far too much has been written about great men, and not nearly enough about morons. Seems
like it should be my time, huh? [MUSIC]
Hello, Kenny here once again with another aks kicking episode of aksy fabulous. This
Game of Thrones episode was the Mountain and the Viper. Written by David Benioff, and Dan
Wise, and directed by Alex Graves. Start off let's see what is going down in Mole Town.
For a moment I think we were in Bree. I was kind of expecting Peter Jackson to stagger
by with a carrot in his hand. Apparently there are still only two songs in Westeros, both
of them burpable. Gilly might not know much, but she knows owls. Of course then we get
the arrival of Tormund Giantsbane and Ygritte, and the Thenns.
The awesome Thenns Viking horn music that I adore. I love how this whole sequence was
shot. Started out in the dark of night and it slowly got lighter as the camera followed
the wildlings through the town. And you realize that the screen's getting lighter because
they're burning every building that they pass. Hopefully Gilly survived those fires, she
survived Ygritte. I was glad Ygritte spared her, we think, she spared her. I love Hannah
Murray. And Rose Leslie has been intensely on point playing Ygritte this entire season.
Despite very little camera time. Excellent. We assume she will get more camera time next
episode during her sweet reunion with her ex-lover Jon Snow.
Meanwhile, at Castle Black,. I should never have left here there. You think? You had one
job, Sam! He always just has one job. Let's go East, to Meereen. [SOUND] This episode
had all sorts of interesting psychological twists and conundrums. Highlighted by the
love affair that cannot be. Nisandeh and the great worm.
I seem to remember back when they shot the river scene in Croatia, they were having difficulties
with the locals trying to sneak down the sides of the river banks and take pictures Nathalie
and Emmanuel. It wasn't an issue when the men were in the river bathing topless, but
as soon as Nathalie shows up and disrobes, then it's like mad scrambles down the hills
trying to get a picture. They had to keep resetting the scene so they
wouldn't get photogs in their shot. As if Croatians had never seen boobs before. My
God, it's almost as if they were Americans or Daily Mail photographers. Haaa. Now look.
I get that people like boobs. I like boobs. But my opinion does diverge from here and
I openly admit that my opinion is probably not in sync with the rest of the opinions
of the free world. But I personally believe that the naked male
torso equates. Equally to the female naked torso. Heterosexual women. Homosexual men,
find the same draw, to a nice pair of pectoral shoulders and arms as heterosexual men. Homosexual
women, find in a, quality pair of breasts. What's quality? I guess thatâ€™s up for
personal definition. I donâ€™t wanna get too preachy. Sometimes
I guess I do. But the sooner that we as a people move away from sexualizing a part of
the body that is not meant to be sexualized. Itâ€™s not technically sexual. We may
get less of this kind of trouble whilst filming. What are the odds of that happening? A million
to one. I know. Letâ€™s go to Moat Cailin. [MUSIC]
Rick has given his. Peppiest of pep talks while donning his Theon guys. Yeah, but the
Iron Born ain't taking any of your [SOUND]. I guess the other one is, and they got flayed.
The end. Oh, and Ramsay got legitimized. That won't go bad. To the Eyrie!
[MUSIC] Apparently Liza committed suicide. The Lords
Declararant, all three of them, question Littlefinger who looks like he's in a world of trouble
for this rather flimsy lie until he's saved at the last moment by Sanza who turns the
tables with a few very well placed lies of her own.
And the Emmy goes to. Sansa Stark now I do have some problems with this whole setup but
not the problems some people have. Sansa had her moment a few moments deservedly so I'm
a huge Sansa fan and this my friends was agency. >> Where is Sansa's agency I see no agency.
>> However the fact that they had to do it. Baelish's expense kinda diminishes him as
a master plotter, doesn't it? No, i said master plotter. I'm kidding. He might be that too,
but why are we talking about this. Anyway, Little Finger. Are we actually led to believe
that he didn't coach Sansa at all? After pushing her aunt through the moon door?
Oh. There will be questions. Just hide away somewhere. I'll never find out you knew. Oh,
Lord Royce you do know about the other person in the room. How? Never mind. I have no plan.
Save me Sansa. Good girl. Love the dress though. Not sure why they darkened her hair. Seems
a little. Counter-intuitive, after having come out to lord Royce and the rest of them,
just for one striking visual. I mean it was striking. I guess we'll see if this goes somewhere
in episode ten, or next season. At the bloody gate.
[LAUGH] Sucks to be you, Hound! I kinda wanted this
scene to continue though, I mean, are they invited inside? Can they have. Dinner or something.
I wonder what Arya has to say about Sansa's new dress. The sisters can discuss needlework.
Or did Arya and the hound just like leave. The guards let them leave. All these questions.
I guess we'll see again in episode ten, because the next episode is all John Snow. King's
Landing, finally. Tyrion and Jamie speak, the Red Viper nickname is finally dropped
for the first time ever. He is the. Viper. Some people are looking at me like Red Viper,
"Who's that?" Sorry. We learned there's no word for cousin
killing. Jamie should just make one up, shouldn't he? And I know that some people were yelling
at their television sets being like "get on with it!", they wanted the fight, but I enjoyed
the scene. Metaphors people, the underpinnings of human existence.
Beatles. Honestly. Peter and Nicolai could read the phone book and it would still make
me very interested to watch. No! So the fight. You're going to fight that? I'm going to kill
that. That's my bad Viper impression. Nope, not gonna kill that. Well, we think. Oh. Maybe
they both died. Hundred percent sure the Viper's dead, though.
Sorry Obren. There's no getting back up from that one. I love this scene, I did I loved
it. Some people thought it was too violent, but the violence inherent to that scene is
cannon. So nothing gratuitous really. Unless you're arguing that the books are gratuitous,
then I guess we can have a discussion about that.
Let's not have a discussion now. Facebook. Too violent. I like that.
