Fear the Schnouzer.
[MUSIC] You're expecting someone, perhaps hairier.
Good day, my peoples.
Welcome to another episode of Axey Fabulous.
I'm kidding.
Your guide to all things Throney.
Today I'm reviewing Game of Thrones, season four, episode seven, titled Mockingbird, written
by David Benioff and Dan Weiss.
Directed by Alex Sakharov, the second episode in a row directed by Alec, I kinda like that
guy.
Let's start in King's Landing.
[MUSIC] Our hero, Tyrion Lannister.
Is essentially visited by the three ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future.
Jamie, Bron, and Prince Oberyn.
I love how all three of these scenes were framed, shot, written, acted, all of it.
It was stellar.
And each one more emotional than the last.
I love the fact that.
Tyrion seemed to almost be able to tempt Jamie into what was essentially a suicide run.
Yeah, but wouldn't it be great?
Just to piss off dad?
Later when Bronn visits we're starting to see a more desperate Tyrion.
And of course when Oberyn comes then, well, that's the scene there
[MUSIC] Fantastic.
People point to last episode for Emmy reel moments I think stronger stuff may actually
be in this one.
I had an interesting discussion with some friends later on talking about how a large
chunk of the fandom hated Shay for turning on Tryion.
But essentially lauded Bran for doing the exact same thing.
It certainly raises questions of merit.
Now, me?
I personally don't blame Bran.
Bran is Bran.
He's essentially been one of the most honest people Tyrian's dealt with so far.
And I don't blame Shae.
I blame Tyrian.
If he'd gone with Shae, back when she had offered to run away with him, she wouldn't
have.
Even been there to be coerced into flipping against him in the first place.
They'd both be somewhere safely living their lives, happy lovers, all that stuff.
Pretty sure.
However, a, a, a side discussion to the discussion, later online, basically made the point of
stating that the, anyone who is a Bron and Tyrion fan was essentially a dude bro.
That's right.
Dude, bro.
I'm still not sure what a dude bro is.
I mean I see it online.
I've been kinda told they flock together and in many cases wear fedoras.
But other than that, the definition seems kind of vague.
I like Tyrian and Bran.
Am I a dude bro?
We got to see Sir Gregor.
New Gregor.
I still kinda prefer Conan Stevens.
Also because he looks, you know, old enough to be the Hound's older brother.
This new guy, Thor, I mean, he's big and all, which is good, it's an improvement on season
two.
But Kinda young.
He could be sad, or his long lost son really, what can you do?
Can't wait for the showdown with [UNKNOWN].
Whoa.
Let's go across the narrow sea to Meereen.
Danny, get some, super [UNKNOWN], ride em cowgirl!
Later, are you here to see the queen?
She's in a good mood.
Poor [UNKNOWN].
Danny's nice to him, she throws him a bone- not the kind that he wants- but I mean it's
one thing to be [UNKNOWN] Jorah.
It's basically this big, burly, unattractive dude.
Show Jorah- that's Iain Glen, the man is handsomer than my mother- and he can't get no love?
I am more wiling to believe in a world with dragons.
And giants and conveniently modern feminine grooming practices.
Then in a world in which Ian Glenn can't get a kiss.
I'm done with this show man.
I enjoyed when they mentioned the Golden Company.
It increases the likelihood of us actually seeing them in future seasons.
I like trying to guess where the show is headed.
I mean, like, a third of the character arcs are quickly approaching the point in which
they'll actually be caught up with the books.
Bran, Sansa, like.
Dont they have like 2 more scenes apiece.
Brean's already skipped half her chapters from a feast for crows.
Shows really gonna have to make up stuff for people to do if they want to keep em.
That or were gonna get a large number of sneak peeks into the winds of winter next season.
No wonder george feels the train barreling down the tracks behind him.
Next we go to, somewhere between the river lands and the Erie, I think.
>> [MUSIC] >> Hound, [UNKNOWN], [UNKNOWN] biter.
I have mixed feelings about this scene.
I actually liked the fact that poor [UNKNOWN] couldn't even start to get into the fight.
I was watching it and I'm thinking [UNKNOWN] was probably all.
Eh biter.
You go jump on the ugly guy, wrestle him to the ground, and then I'll come up behind him
and stick him with my sword.
All right now, go.
Snap.
Oh, piss on this.
Bloody hell.
You got me.
What can I say?
Found it funny.
But my one complaint is actually related to reactions that non book readers had.
Like, no one other than book readers really knew that it was Biter who was doing the biting.
They're just seeing this clearly deranged man jumping on the hound and trying to take
a piece out of his neck.
In season two, the props department spent.
All this time and money on these really cool, nasty, weird teeth for Biter to wear.
Show 'em off, man!
I mean, they should have given us a closeup of that, with like [SOUND].
Wouldn't it have been cool to have seen [SOUND].
And then snap his neck.
I would have enjoyed that.
Let's go to Castle Black.
Ghost, bye ghost.
Poor Jon, still can't make his point.
I blame awful Yarwik.
But I think this is setting up some giants crawling through that tunnel.
Then, at Dragonstone, Selyse meets with Melisandre's boobs.
She says, humor isn't my strength.
Which if that doesn't prove she's Stannis's soul mate, I don't know what does.
We learned the Lord of Light needs Shireen for something.
Pretty much probably means Shireen should start running.
Meanwhile, at the inn at the crossroads, [MUSIC]
Hot pie.
That kid loves making pies.
Twitter went nuts for the hot pie appearance.
Someone asked me, they're like, hot pie was never that popular, what's going on?
He survived, that's what.
Hot pie gives a shred of hope.
But some of the people in Game of Thrones might actually live to see the ending.
[LAUGH] Finally let's all go to The Eyrie.
You get Sansa, you get her snow castle.
Romnie and [UNKNOWN] Winterfell theme playing softly in the distance.
Robinzilla comes in.
[SOUND] Is it me or does Lino Facioli talk really
fast?
Settle down, kid.
You're too young to be doing coke.
Sansa slaps the little breast monster.
[SOUND] Game of Thrones is required to have at least one quality slap per season.
Peter Baylish shows up and plants a kiss on the underage Sensa.
Every person in the world with a daughter or a younger sister immediately got squicked
out.
Liza Aaron freaked out, and the whole thing ends with Baylish making the bad lady fly.
Which was excellent.
Aden Gillan turned in one of his best Machevelian performances I freaking love this guy.
But who cares what I think.
Facebook do you approve of creepy finger.
>> I like that.
>> To learn Baelish >> those are not your lines Baelish.
>> Joey.
>> He's cool he's great.
He's.
He's my hero.
>> [UNKNOWN].
So that wraps it up for this episode of Axey Fabulous.
Thanks for sticking around if you did, if you didn't, you're not even, more people just
turned the channel.
Wh, you can comment.
You can not comment.
I'm supposed to say other things that pertain to the channel.
HappyCool.
[MUSIC] oh, ketchup.
Come on.
[COUGH] Oh.
Ugh, it's gross.
I'm dying for my art.
