Random Acts Of Ben

Sir William Lind is back with another drunken review of a random Game of Thrones episode! (finally)

Game Of Thrones: Season 2, Ep. 9

Dear Honkeys,

Fact: Queen Mcunty is wicked as all shit. Having read a book or two ahead (because I am a nerd) I had the privaledge of thinking I knew what was going to happen. If you have not read the books than you would not know or care that HBO has used some creative licensing in altering the story. In the battle for black water i feel they did it well. They added some great details and extinguished some useless ones.

The battle for blackwater:

Reality: Pretty sure Stannis (King prick up his ass) never touched land. He was always whining and shit. In the books the dwarf made an iron chain that blocked off the bay. He set the bay on fire. And as the boats sailed raised the chain so no one could escape. I wish that happened. Stannis miraculously escaped but what of it, he sucks. His red headed witch was not present. She didnt die. He didn’t. Story Goes on.

Show: I thought the battle of Black water bay was awesome. Well done. The sellsword is awesome in the story. And the dwarf plays true to his character. What they dont go into is how the hound is terrified of fire. Thats why he quits. He was also way more aggressive in the book and nearly rapes sansa.

Fact: The dwarf is an amazing actor and deseerves every award he received. He was written well in the book, but enhances the character even better. He honestly tries to play a true hero in the end of the second novel and it shows in S2E9 with his speech. We can all say Joffrey is a bitch. Honestly, the battle could have been more epic with the arrival of the other trooops. It could have also been daylight. But for a television show whos book series I loved I think the fight scene was great. Except for king Stannis I also dont see a point for the iron night yet. He has done nothing in the series and they blow him and his son up in this show.

Things we should know. Cersi is bat shit crazy. As someone that enjoys ambien I am envious of the ammount of barbituates she was going to ingest. One day… TBD…

Thanks to B. Lind for the review!

This is Eminem’s daughter?!
