I was scrolling through HBO Max last night - decided to watch a random episode of GoT.  Settled on the loot train episode - there was some good stuff there.  I think it's time to re-watch the series from the beginning.

I have re-watched the first 3-4 seasons by far and away the most (a few of them were getting someone new into the show, and essentially going on the journey with them). Not sure how much you've re-watched any of it, but I've always described the 2nd watch (once someone has at least 3-4 seasons under their belt) to be like watching a brand new show, because SOOOOO many character interactions and behaviors jump out at your 10x more with all the added context. 

Things like Roose Bolton... on first watch (as a non-book reader), I don't pay much attention to him at all. You miss out where he's trying to counsel Robb and kind of being ignored. When Arya is a prisoner (with the other Night's Watch children like Gendry and Hot Pie) at Harrenhall, and winds up being Tywin Lannister's cup bearer, I don't think we realize its Roose (at Robb's command) that drives the Lannister's out of Harrenhall and takes it over. This comes into play when Jaime and Brienne are captured (by Roose's men) and gets his hand chopped off, then Roose let's Jaime freely return to King's Landing (with NOT a Maester, Qyburn). Like.... one of Robb's top bannermen letting Jaime go free (after Caetlyn already F'ed him over and cost him men) is one of those things I definitely didn't catch. It sets up sooo much of the Red Wedding betrayal that literally just went right over my head the whole time because theres 19038918 characters and I can't recall all the details of every tertiary figure the first time through!

it's shame oberyn allowed his anger to make him sloppy or that whole scene could've turned out much differently. im in season 5 so i'm a bit further along than your upcoming "happy" moment.

Agreed!  He was clearly the superior fighter, just let his anger and ego get in the way.

Put Pedro on the map. Now he gets to have baby Yodas and fly around South America with Ben Affleck and Poe Dameron.

In a show that had a ton of "I didn't see that coming..." moments, that episode sticks out...

I think it's because up to that point SO many beloved characters/good guys had been killed - everyone was thinking "the good guy's GOT to win this one, right?".  Nope :lol: GRRM can go F himself

Yeah, it's from an old DVD, but this is the story the show will be telling
