A fast recap and impressions of Game of Thrones s02e04

After a short break, I'm back! (I had tons of tasks to do :S ) 

We got last sunday another new episode of Game of Thrones, with a bit creepy title: "Garden of Bones"

Let's do a quick recap adizz00-style, shall we? :)

Our intro-map changed a bit again, like it did from episode to episode. Our new locations in this week's intro are the dragonfire-melted creepy castle called Harrenhal, and Qarth,an amazing city in the Red Waste, which changes our good old Vaes Dothrak. By the way, the makers of this intro added the awesome-looking red comet too.
New location!

Our first spot in this episode is a Lannister camp, where a soldier called Rennick is teasing one of his colleagues, but he gets paid back by Robb Stark's direwolf, Grey Wind. We are about to see an epic fighting scene between Robb's team and the Lannisters...but then comes a blackout. After we get our sight back, we can see the funny guy with a thorn-off belly. He got his reward for being so funny. Here comes my first WTF-moment in this episode:Why is Robb Stark marching on the battlefield knee-deep in corpses, WITH ROOSE BOLTON ON HIS SIDE?! Like the "hitman" said in the first season: "You're not supposed to be here!" You should be in Harrenhall with the "swords" of the Mountain. (by the way, our new Mountain isn't a Mountain, he's just a Hill :D ) . While walking there, they find a beautiful medic (I have an idea, who could she be :D ), who is trying to amputate a survivor. He is currently not very happy about it, but Robb comes, and helps to hold down the poor guy. Just hearing the bone saw made me a bit sick. :S After saving the guy, Talisa (that's her name) and Robb are having a conversation about the war, and the future, but the expactations are not too clean.



In King's Landing, Joffrey proves us something: there is no END LEVEL OF BEING AN ASSHOLE! :D

He is putting a crossbow in Sansa's face, and saying , that killing her would send Robb a message. Ser Meryn shows us, that he is a real gentleman, by punching Sansa in her stomach with his fist covered in a chain mail glove, and hitting her with the side of his sword. Tyrion comes, saves Sansa, and Bronn gives the idea to The Imp, that they should get a whore for Joff, maybe his anger will fly away.


Little piece of shit...

But they are wrong...


Joff asks one of the whores (Ros), to hit the another one, first bare handed, later with a leather belt. Ros realizes, that this is no more for pleasure, but there is no way back. Joff asks her to hit Daisy harder. He gives her a stag's head sceptre, and aims towards them with a crossbow. The only noise we hear is a cracking sound, and Daisy's scream. What a little fetishist shithead!



In Storm's End, Littlefinger has first a conversation with king-nominee  Renly Baratheon, later with Margaery Tyrell . Both conversations are interesting, man should see them. (by the way, Margaery's dress is a bit pathetic. She needs to wear a snorkel ewerytime it's raining, or she'll drown. :D



It seems like Bear Grylls heard my call for help: Kovarro returns to Daenerys with another horse and with the info, that there's a town ahead, where the people would like to see the Mother of Dragons.



Arya and the others arrive to Harrenhal, a castle which is not in a very good shape . They got imprisoned, they meet the first time the dirty methods of the Tickler.


the hill (NO MOUNTAIN!)

At Storm's End, Petyr arrives to Cat's tent. She is-with reasons-very angry at him. :D Petyr offers to change the Kingslayer out with Sansa and Arya, and she will get the bones of Lord Stark back too. It's a really hard decision.


Back to Harrenhal, the Hill (he doesn't deserve the name "mountain" :D ) is picking another prisoner for tickling. The tickling method is interesting: they put a rat in a bucket and they mount the bucket on the stomach of the unlucky guy. A man starts to heat the bucket with a torch, and the rat has only one way to escape...


The Tickler

This night, Arya starts her famous prayer: "Joffrrey, Cersei, Ilyn Payne, the Hound", which is later extended by Polliver and the Hill (I will not call him Mountain, because he doesn't deserves it :D )


The Baratheon-brothers, Renly the Gay, and Stannis the Ham (he has born  amidst salt and smoke ) are trying to negotiate, unfortunately without any effect.


Negotiations

Dany arrives at Qarth, where the welcome is not as sweet as she thought. But we have Xaro Xoan Daxos there, who saves Dany and her Khalasar from dying and augmenting the Garden of Bones.


He invokes Soumai, whatever it means :D

Again Harrenhal, Gendry has been chosen to get tickled, but JULIUS CAESAR RIDES IN! (nope, it's just Tywin Lannister :)), Gendry gets work as a blacksmith, and Arya becomes the cupbearer of Grand daddy Lannister (who is the only one realising , that Arya is actually a girl :D )



In King's Landing, first season's loser called Lancel Lannister gets very strong OWNED by the dwarf. Tyrion got a spy.

Davos is assigned to smuggle Melisandre with a boat to the shore. As they arrive, Melisandre takes down her cloak and here comes the surprise: She got pregnant IN ABOUT AN AFTERNOON! (she was still skinny while negotiating). She begins to give birth on the shore, Davos is scared from her witchery. But it's not a baby, what's coming out from there. IT'S A SHADOW! What kind of sorcery is this? The CGI is again a masterpiece.



SHADOWBABY!!! :O


Hope you liked this week's recap too, tune in for next week's too.
