My new saying in life is: Game of Thrones is a lifestyle choice. And that is seriously how I feel about it. So this weekend was HORRIBLE. How dare it be a public holiday when I need my fix. Rude.

I'm kidding obviously.
So I'm going to talk about my thoughts on S3 E8 - Second Sons. So watch out for spoilers

First, the name of the episode. I don't think it was the right one to go with, I mean I'm not sure yet if they're based on chapter titles? I haven't started reading the books yet. That's my summer task. But it just felt like the episode should of concentrated more on Tyrion and Sansa's marriage. It was definitely the most heart wrenching point of the episode. I just want to hold her!
Speaking of the wedding, is it me or did no one bother really dressing up? Maybe that was the point, I mean maybe it was to show that this really really was not a happy occasion. In fact the only two that did were Cercei and Joffrey, maybe this reflects that the only people really benefiting from this marriage are the Lannisters.
Female nudity. Thats always a thing we can count on in GoT. You know they have to be consistent. I feel like the Red Woman and Dany were almost juxtaposed in their nudity this episode. They both obviously show female power (funny how its always naked female power, what does that say about men? jk.) The Red Woman covering Gendry with leaches is like the hag and the whore mixed together if we're talking female stereotypes, she's the embodiment of what a medieval man would fear in a woman. Where as Dany's bath scene contrasted both with the backdrop being light in colour unlike Dragonstone and the Red Woman, and the nature of her power, her body is not a means to power, it's almost just an accessory. Mind you the guy that infiltraited her bath seems to think he's getting some. I hope he doesn't, but I liked his attitude to prostitutes. So far I like him, but don't trust him. Never trust anyone in GoT.
I missed John Snow.

So yeah. I'm sorry if you either 1. Haven't watched it yet, but I did warn you. or 2. Don't watch GoT and are following me for other reasons, I'll get to them. I think.
