It was indeed from the seventh episode.
Minor spoiler from 7th episode, the line was:
“Wooden horses that fly across the sea.”
Meaning boats.

HBO had announced availability of advance previews of next week’s episode 7. I came to this thread to report that at their website, although setting up a username is necessary and one must already subscribe to HBO, one can view episode 7 - You Win Or You Die - in its entirety!
All 57mins of it!
Quite good, am watching it right now!
eta, they announced “an early premiere”, not advanced preview. I took this to mean preview highlights, not the entire episode. The misunderstanding is mine.
Now I see there’s already a thread started on this. :smack:
Yeah, that made me laugh. Didn’t quite ruin the scene, but…it didn’t help it. (Don’t think there was anything on the floor for it to clank against, either.)
Totally thought the fight between Bronn and Vardis was going to end differently than it did. ‘Oh, the Moon Door is in the floor, is it? Guess we know how Bronn’s going to win this fight, don’t we?’ Was actually surprised Vardis didn’t fall through until after Bronn killed him.
An FYI, you cannot get HBO Go unless your cable provider has signed a specific deal with HBO about the streaming service. Mine (Charter) hasn’t done the deal yet, so even though it carries HBO on its cable service and I subscribe to it, I can’t get streaming HBO.
He was my favorite character. Demented, ruthless and pathetically incompetent. Just the way I like 'em.
He was a legitimate heir to the Seven Kingdoms. It was interesting to see just how far people would put up with him.
I hated that line. It sounded way too modern to me. It’s not clever either, just a common angsty teenager being a bitch.
You might want to double check if you can get it - I have Charter and have been happily watching HBO Go on my iPad and computer for a few weeks now.
There were actually times I could empathize with Viserys. Not sympathize, mind you, but empathize. Reminded me, especially that last little speech, of Baltar in the rebooted BSG series.
Ha! I knew it! Tonks from Harry Potter!
Just spent 20 minutes wrangling with their customer support desk. Apparently it just became available in locally on May 17, and I am now signed up!! Whoo hoo. Thanks!.
That’s why Tyrion kept glancing around to his audience while he was talking. If it had been just Lyssa and Cat and Robin, well I think he would have been SOL. But with all the Vale nobles standing around watching, she was honor bound to follow the law.
I was actually surprised at how graphic it wasn’t. He died very quickly, no melting eyes, no hair on fire… they’ve had a LOT of really graphic death in this show, I wasn’t really phased by this one - but I was EXPECTING to be!
All of them.
I was really pleased with how the reveal went. I wasn’t sure how they were going to do the whole “inner dialogue/realization” scene on screen, I really liked how they did it.
Well, we saw Jaime and Cersei screwing in what, the first episode? That sort of jumps the gun - hard to be shocked the kids are his after that.
We should also remember that his father was known as the Mad King and was a psychopath, and that there’s been lots of inbreeding in that line. Can’t be too surprising that Viserys was totally off-kilter, given both his personal and family background.
She’s not angsty. She’s snobby. She does get angsty, after Ned tells her ‘you’re going back to Winterfell’, but the problem here is she’s sure she knows exactly where she belongs - at the top - and that she’s going to get there, since she’s Joffrey’s betrothed. Almost everybody is, thus, below her.
I agree. This one was telegraphed.
But I agree that the phrasing of her quip sounded too contemporary.
Oh, hey…cool…just noticed this reference…wasn’t paying enough attention to the Wildling scene, as I was getting food, but…Tena actually looks very much like how I pictured Osha when reading the book. Prettier, yeah, but ‘like Natalia Tena, but rather more hard ridden’ is a good description of how I imagined her. Awesome that they cast her.
(She doesn’t look how I pictured Tonks, on a different note.)
I loved the farewell that Theon Greyjoy got. Was that woman the prostitute that we’ve been seeing since Tyrian arrived in Winterfell?
I thought she was angsty because Joffrey had been ignoring her up until then.
Yes, I think so. And the one Jon Snow remembered being alone with, but not sleeping with, in his wistful “I’m a virgin, too” chat with Samwell.
Nitpick: It’s “Tyrion.”
Agreed. That line sounded like modern teenager snark rather than anything Sansa would say.
I thought the best line was Bronn’s after being accused of not fighting with honor. “No. He did”.
As for the parentage reveal, it’s more obvious in the show than it is in the book. In the book we are of course told that Jaime, Cersei and her kids all have blonde hair but in the show we see it in every scene they are in. It makes a big difference. I am curious as to when the newbies figured it out.
