☄ Game of Thrones Episodes: S02E07 - A Man Without Honor
“So many vows … they make you swear and swear. Defend the king. Obey the king. Keep his secrets. Do his bidding. Your life for his. But obey your father. Love your sister. Protect the innocent. Defend the weak. Respect the gods. Obey the laws. It’s too much. No matter what you do, you’re forsaking one vow or another.”
Or noir (Black gold) (2012, Jean-Jacques Annaud)
A Brief Brake From Starks:
Killing Irri was bullshit, D & D. And I agree with every person on Twitter and Tumblr saying the same. I try not to criticize the adaptation choices here but I’m not seeing anything justifiable in this one. She was Dany’s strongest remaining tie to the Dothraki -which will be important later in the series. Doreah was supposed to die in the desert and was kept around? Why? So the dragons can like her? Sometimes basic choices are basic.
#wow fuck the people in the tags saying he hacked him up he couldn’t even take his head off what a jerk #like you realize right? #that it’s symbolic? #that ned stark killed his prisoners in one clean stroke and was an honorable man who’s people loved him #and theon is a scared little boy who isn’t a stark and has no idea how to wield power #he wasn’t being blood thirsty #that kill was meant to represent theon’s failures as a leader and the lack of confidence in his choices #so
Theon not being able to behead Rodrick in one stroke is also realistic. I mean, even a headsman didn’t always manage it in one stroke. A famous example is Mary of Scots who required three strokes. And if we look to the books, it took Robb two strokes when he beheaded you know who because he had never done it before. Because beheading isn’t easy, especially if you don’t have a two-handed great sword of Valyrian Steel with you. Just saying.
