This blog is dedicated to my lovely girlfriend Caryn, Mike, Lawrence, and Rachel.Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16312656600255942016noreply@blogger.comBlogger197125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-48878959215528278752009-05-13T21:41:00.005-04:002009-05-15T12:06:10.874-04:00LOST Finalerk and lb are mia, but mellin cb and i just finished a monster Rock Band session. we are going on tour next week. tix are available on ticketmaster.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: First of all, I want to express how sad I am last night didn't work out with me coming over to rock band and watch the Lost finale-- it was just not feasible timing-wise on the short notice, it was 8:30 before I got out of the shower and 9:30 before I had blow dryed my hair and gotten dressed, and then it would have been 10:00 before I even got to Caryn's, and I can't lie, the urge to watch the Lost finale was so strong that I had to immediately begin watching at like 9:35, the perfect amount of time to start watching and be able to fast forward all the commercials. I was actually foaming at the mouth to watch. And it would have been cruelty to have asked you all to wait until my belated arrival to begin watching at Caryn's. AND I'd have missed Rock Banding anyway. And also, I have a strict midnight bedtime on weekdays. BUT I wish that circumstances were such so that I could have gone!</span><br /><br />in other news, its 935, we are just sitting down to start watching LOST, and mm goes to shut off the lights, but instead hits the master switch, turning off the tv and power boxes. it took a minute to restart, so for all we know we just missed the bomb blowing up. oh mm!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: OMG how FUNNY, I just wrote (above-- i'm reading the blog simultaneously as I comment) I started watching at 9:35 too! The perfect time! Anyway bummer about the master switch!</span><br /><br />1:00 - i just remembered i have some rk blog entries to read! oy. never enough time. btw, wasnt she supposed to be here tonite?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: You still haven't read RK's notes from last week? Come on! You don't DO anything but WOW!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: DAMMIT JN, read my notes! I had some unbelievable nuts last week, most importantly my big nut that Locke WAS in fact dead and the "Locke-esque" figure walking around the island was a mere Christian-shepard-esque being who might be the BLACK SMOKE MONSTER. The finale confirmed Locke is truly dead, and now we know he's come back as some sort of Island-being who is Jacob's nemesis going back centuries and centuries, but I am STILL going to bet this being we saw in the form of a man in black eating fishies with Jacob is the BLACK SMOKE MONSTER, which explains how he swirled around Ben a few episodes ago and appeared as his dead daughter and told him to do what Locke said, because it was a BIG TRICK FROM SMOKEY TO MANIPULATE BEN INTO DOING HIS BIDDING AND KILLING JACOB! I used to think Smokey was like WITH Jacob, but now I think Smokey is Jacob's nemesis who is most recently posing as Locke. The only part of this that doesn't make sense is that Locke was kind of with Ben when he took Ben to see Smokey, although he wasn't DOWN in the tunnels with Ben during his Smokey-confrontation, he was above looking for a rope or something. Maybe the Locke-esque nemesis CONTROLS Smokey. Maybe Smokey is like his pet. Locke-esque nemsis : Smokey :: Walt : Vincent. </span><br /><br />2:00 - cb wants to have some fish as a snack now.<br /><br />3:00 - that guy who ate the fish, he is familar. i recognize him. from another tv show. or from LOST.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Rita's ex from Dexter - thanks IMDB!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: WHO KNEW JACOB WAS GOING TO BE HOT! I did NOT nut that, I thought he was going to be old and creepy! But no, Jacob, hot as can be, eating fish back in the day, apparently also ageless like Richard.</span><br /><br />4:00 - that guy brought the black rock here? huh? black rock was the ship way before rousseau's right? these guys do not like eachother. cb guessed maybe he was jacob. an earlier version of jacob and richard.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: The Black Rock was a ship from the 1800s that not only shipwrecked on the island, but mysteriously came to be miles inland. Btw, your blog makes it seem like my guess was "an earlier version of Jacob and Richard. But my guess was just that he was Jacob. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I think that was the Black Rock coming in, which dates the encounter between Jacob and his Nemesis to the 1800s, but Jacob wanted the ship but Nemesis didn't... So Jacob has been around a long, long time and so has Nameless Nemesis. Also Jacob is so crafty with his loom, and handy with his cool basket fish traps and stove made out of a rock! What a guy. Do we think Richard was on the island at the time of this scene? Could Richard have arrived ON the Black Rock? Doesn't the ship that was coming in VERY CLOSELY resemble that SHIP IN A BOTTLE Richard was building last week?!?!?!?!?! </span><br /><br />5:00 - what a nut for cb!!!! great one babe! and they are at that statue!!! remember when i had that awesome nut earlier this season about the importance of the statue?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Wow baby! I can't believe you nutted that the statue was important and would come up again! AMAZING!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: LOL. What lies in the shadow of the statute? Jacob!</span><br /><br />6:00 - if that one guy was jacob, who was the other guy? why does he want to kill jacob? and jacob is certainly powerful, he brought the black rock there the other guy said. sorta like how jacob brought flight 815 maybe?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Perhaps Jacob DID bring Flight 815 and not the hatch explosion like we had been led to believe! More importantly than why he wants to kill Jacob, why CAN'T he kill Jacob? Why does he need a "loophole"?</span><br /><br />7:00 - who are these kids? cb was in asap with baby kate. im going with... baby juliet?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Duh she's got the freckles!</span><br /><br />8:00 - now cb and mm say its kates boyfriend and he has that plane thats in the security box later. i barely remember that. kate is stealing a lunchbox, is that what she went to jail for?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Oh baby. So Kate (that brunette on the show) had a childhood sweetheart, Tom. They buried a time capsule that included Tom's toy airplane in 1989. At some point when she was older (and an outlaw), she returned home to see her mom, who was dying of cancer and saw Tom. They dug up their time capsule and got the toy airplane. They were in a car when the Marshall was chasing Kate and there was a shootout (Tom was killed) and Kate fled, leaving the airplane behind. The marshall took the airplane and put it in a safe deposit box and told Kate about it, trying to get her to come try and steal it so he could arrest her, which she did. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: LOL to "that brunette on the show." Good one CB. I liked how she wanted to NKOTB lunchbox.</span><br /><br />9:00 - WHO is paying for that lunchbox?! nobody was fast enuff but... ummmm.... omg... IT WAS JACOB AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: So this is craziness! Visits from Jacob! So Jacob leaves the island! So maybe THAT'S why he was so tough to find sometimes, he can apparently just come and go off the island as he pleases! How does he come and go? Like, does he have a sub or something like that makes sense, or is he like such a special being he can like teleport or fly off the island?</span><br /><br />10:00 - btw, any nuts on what show or movie i recognize jacob from?<br /><br />11:00 - that was pretty freaky, did jacob go visit everyone in the past?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: That's what I said!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: And do the visits from Jacob "DO" anything special to them at that time in the past?</span><br /><br />12:00 - sure was convenient that faraday left these instructions re the bomb. thats a little ridic tbh.<br /><br />13:00 - cb wonders if richard is jacob's son. she notes he didnt age, just like richard. mike thinks itd be weird. weve alway sseen jacob as papa jack, and now we see him as this dude. dunno wut to make of morphing jacob.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Well I guessed son at the time since they both DO have the non-aging thing. Obviously there is some connection or Jacob used his voodoo on Richard. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: We NEVER knew for sure Christian Shepard was Jacob, we just inferred it. NOW it seems clear Christian Shepard was NEVER jacob! Who goes around the Island in the bodies of dead people who come to the island as corpses? NAMELESS NEMESIS! All along perhaps the sightings of Christian Shepard and his instructions to the Losties were coming from NEMESIS and were counter to what Jacob wanted. Since it appears clear that Jacob is capable of walking around and appearing as himself. And also, Jacob lives in the shadow of the statute-- I bet that cabin was never his at all either! Ben admitted he never saw Jacob and was just pretending at the cabin. What if NEMESIS was tricking everyone into thinking he was Jacob to use it to his advantage to kill Jacob! I nut that Jacob does NOT morph and we've just never seen him before last night's episode.</span><br /><br />14:00 - how is rusedski the dbag above dr. chang in the dharma heirarchy? hes such loon.<br /><br />15:00 - has ben never met jacob?! i believe somebdoy guessed or learned this last week. i dun remember. :(<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: We learned this last week.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: REALLY justin? I can see not remembering season 1, or any past season, I can even let slide the begining of this season. But we learned this LAST WEEK!</span><br /><br />16:00 - what was that exact line from the start where jacob was like "everything is progress until the end". i wonder if thats important.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: He said, "there's only one end" or something too. </span><br /><br />17:00 - why is frank passed out and bloody? what happened? i dont remember?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Sigh. Frank left Sun and Ben and went back to the plane, where Ilana and the other people were taking over. They asked him the q about the shadow of the statue and then knocked him out.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Justin needs to take ginseng or something to help his memory</span><br /><br />18:00 - good question frank, who the hell ARE these people???<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I think they're on Jacob's side! Not sure more than that, where they came from. I think they're the ppl who tried to grab him in the van while he was eating his fish taco and then pushed him out of the van and told him he was on the wrong side.<br /><br /></span>19:00 - whats in the box?! any nuts? mm: walt's dog. cb: are you kidding. jn: a body.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I nutted at this point that it was Jon Locke's body in there!!! Related to my note from last week and earlier in the season that I didn't believe Jon Locke was reincarnated and thought Dead was Dead.</span><br /><br />20:00 - me: "who died?" cb: "im gonna say sawyer's parents." me: you gotta be kidding, cb is on FIRE!!! obvi they are running through the past of all the characters. and now jacob's gonna say hi!<br /><br />21:00 - good nut for cb. consolation nut for me. mm gets a raisin, bc jacob did not in fact tough sawyer on the nose.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: But he does touch him!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: YES! I think its important that he touches everyone! </span><br /><br />22:00 - cb notes that sawyer is writing his letter to sawyer. nut for her.<br /><br />23:00 - imo, jacks plan has no chance of working. jacob brought them to the island. jack cant undo that.<br /><br />24:00 - <3 style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: You? Forget something that happened on Lost? Only a few eps ago? NEVER!<br /><br />28:00 - what exactly is john gonna accomplish by having ben kill jacob? and how on earth is that even doable?<br /><br />29:00 - btw, 3 mm sightings in the span of a week. CRAZY!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: You saw mike mellin 3 times in one week?!?!?!?!?!?!</span><br /><br />30:00 - also, star trek was awesome. you (rk) should all go see it!<br /><br />31:00 - how great was that new samberg-timberlake video short? great cameo by susan sarandon.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Didn't see! Love samberg-timberlake! Someone please e-mail me a link!!!!</span><br /><br />32:00 - if i recall correctly, we never knew how nadia got killed... and jacob was right there!!!! who was really responsible? ben, widmore, or jacob?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: We only knew that she was killed, and Sayid wanted revenge. While now it seems as if Jacob could be the reason Nadia was killed (I'm torn between him killing Nadia/him saving Sayid, or both), very interesting findings from Lostpedia:</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" ></span><blockquote><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >The circumstantial evidence of a traffic photograph pointed to Ishmael Bakir, an employee of Charles Widmore. Bakir was first seen as Ben surveyed Nadia</span><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" ></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >'s funeral with a camera. Bakir watched the proceedings with seeming disinterest, drinking coffee as the procession walked by. Upon Ben's discovery by Sayid, Ben shows him a picture of Bakir in a car at a streetlight, speeding away from a place nearby where Nadia was killed. Ben convinced Sayid that Bakir worked for Charles Widmore. Ben later spied on Bakir from a cafe, while Bakir was reading a newspaper. Bakir suddenly left, and Ben followed closely behind, eventually losing Bakir to the crowd of people. However, Bakir had doubled back, and held Ben at gunpoint, forcing him into a dark alley, where he began to question Ben. Ben instructed Bakir to give a message to Widmore. Suddenly, Sayid appeared and shot Bakir multiple times until the ammunition ran out of his gun. After Bakir falls to the ground, Sayid then states that he wishes to work for Ben.</span></span></blockquote><br /><br />33:00 - and, does jacob have a twin brother named esau? was that guy at the start of the ep esau?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Nice biblical reference! I vote it plausible! </span><br /><br />34:00 - i wonder how widmore got to be leader over eloise.<br /><br />35:00 - i bet when jack and sayid roll out there's already been a disaster at the swan. cb and mm say its just the regular evacuation that chang called for.<br /><br />36:00 - shootout, OK Corral style!<br /><br />37:00 - unanimous nuts that it was hurley in that bus. where had he been at?<br /><br />38:00 - mm finds it hard to believe dharma security failed to hit jack the surgeon while he killed like 84 of them...<br /><br />39:00 - ok, we just missed something. well. we missed a commercial. and now we are on the beach with sawyer and juliet and kate. and walt's dog. did that dog show up in that box?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Vincent just sort of ran out of the jungle</span><br /><br />40:00 - and oh to the em gee, its rose and bernard, who have been there for 3 years living in the jungle. lol?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I am nutting rose and bernard are the Adam and Eve skeletons! Meaning, they die back in the past...</span><br /><br />41:00 - also, why didnt sun flash back to 1977. when they gonna tell us!?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I want to know that and also, UH, BIG ONE: WHERE DID THE ISLAND GO AFTER LAST SEASON'S FINALE WHEN BEN "MOVED THE ISLAND"?!?!?!??!?!!??!! </span><br /><br />42:00 - i didnt know bernard and rose were hippies.<br /><br />43:00 - what was with that "do you want some tea?" question?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Perhaps it showed Juliet kind of being envious of Rose and Bernard, in love, living alone together forever in their own little paradise. That's what she wanted with Sawyer and now she realizes it's not meant to be!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I wanted them to sail off on the sub and live happily ever after together and get rich betting on sports and buying tech stocks in the 90s!</span><br /><br />44:00 - frank, tell us whats in that box already! and whats scarier than it! and whos up against who?! OY VAY! who are "the good guys?"<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I was really jumping up and down at this point with my John Locke's body nut</span><br /><br />45:00 - good thing we just learned about rose's hut. which also may be jacobs cabin.... ummm... whats this mean? and do those people work for jacob, or are they working for the person opposing jacob, right?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Classic JN! The people are either working for or against Jacob, for or against Ben, or for or against Widmore! Nut!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Nut: I don't think this cabin has been Jacob's, at least in any time we've seen it in the island. And what's with that ring of mysterious ash in a circle around it.... Also, MAJOR fire hazard torching this thing!</span><br /><br />46:00 - and nuts on bandagefacewoman? mm thinks its hurley, but thats wrong. cb thinks maybe its the girl bounty hunter. shes apparently right. but isnt she showing the thing in the box to an enemy?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: You're right baby, how could she be in the hospital and on the island at the same time??? Wait, are you saying this show has flashbacks AND time travel?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Didn't it seem like she has a pre-existing relationship with Jacob? She said she was happy to see him, as if they knew eachother in the past. I think this meeting here confirms that the bounty hunter and her posse are working FOR Jacob... </span><br /><br />47:00 - ooh, who has been using jacobs cabin for the last 3 years?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: NAMELESS NEMESIS posing as Christian Shepard and others, I think!</span><br /><br />48:00 - mm is being rude and annoying. and, i hope that after they burn this hut, it still exists, just to spite his stupid face. and he stinks at rock band. SO THERE!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: UHHH what did MM do?</span><br /><br />49:00 - cb is insane. she just nutted jacob was sitting at the building where locke falls out the window.<br /><br />50:00 - THATS WHERE I RECOGNIZE JACOB FROM. "dont worry everything gonna be all right." im 100% positive we saw that before. cb doesnt think so. i think we did. i really did. i remember when locke fell out the window we were all kinda "wtf howd he not die?! thats kinda silly." and the answer is bc jacob was there!!!! (and maybe revived him!) . go lostpedia it girls!!!! and then give me monster NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT credit.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: RAISIN. As we discussed thoroughly last night. We have NOT seen Jacob on Lost before. This is the FIRST ep he's ever appeared in. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Nut: This is the first time we have EVER seen Jacob!! But I DO like your theory that Jacob revived him because we so did NOT understand how he didn't die. </span><br /><br />51:00 - why did jacob let ben run the island all this time if he would never even let ben see him? it seems like maybe jacob din like ben.<br /><br />52:00 - cb and mm: "wheres claire at yo?"<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Yet another think I would like to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><br />53:00 - DRIVESHAFTTTTTTTTT.<br /><br />54:00 - the peanut gallery is busy being critical of jin's vows.<br /><br />55:00 - who let jacob into the wedding? couldn't sun's rich dad afford better security?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: His Korean was super</span><br /><br />56:00 - mm is pretty bitter about sayid knowing more about bombs than him.<br /><br />57:00 - SHOWDOWN IN THE JUNGLE INCOMING!!!!! with sayid out of it, sawliate should defeat jurliles easily.<br /><br />58:00 - why does jacob, like old mother hubbard, live in a shoe (or foot?)<br /><br />59:00 - cb: when did the giant statue become just a foot. mm: "when jack detonated a hydrogen bomb." here's the thing... that could be a nut...<br /><br />60:00 - no credit cb, NO CREDIT.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: No credit for what? You just said that I asked a question in the last entry. I get no credit for asking a question? I'm confused!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: When DID the statue come down? I always assumed it was like an ancient ruin that crumbled over time... You know, like the statue was 1,000 years old and over the centuries pieces of it broke off and crumbled and whatevs, stuff always happens to old statues, until all that was left was the foot. BUT, we know the statue stood strong and tall in the 1800s-ish when the Black Rock came and we saw Jacob and NN (nameless nemesis) chilling on the beach. SOOOO when and why did the statue come down? Hydrogen bomb is an interesting guess.</span><br /><br />61:00 - i just nutted that jack is surgerying his wife. wheres jacob at? jacob didnt have much wisdom to offer, just a candybar.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Oh, surgerying. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Did anyone else notice the vending machine full of totally made up candy brands?</span><br /><br />62:00 - and, while he did not touch everyone on the nose, he did at least touch them all. i wonder if they'll show him touching the rest of the losties and/or tailies.<br /><br />63:00 - do YOU speak destiny?<br /><br />64:00 - this seems a little insane for jacks whole motivation to be bc he wants kate.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Honestly, she is NOT such a prize!!!</span><br /><br />65:00 - wtf, why is juliet changing her mind every 15minutes. is she pmsing?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Big *SLAP* for all womankind.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Seriously WTF to juliet changing her mind! Sawyer wanted to waltz off into the distance with you! Should have let it be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><br />66:00 - she changed her mind, that's it? that's all they're offering? they better offer more!! i wonder if it was that moment she shared with bernard about the tea.<br /><br />67:00 - mm cheated and ruined my nut that this was juliet and her sister. sigh mm.<br /><br />68:00 - caryn nutted the mind changing was about kate. oy. mm just mimed shooting himself in the head, 2 handed. im also not buying this. juliet is smarter than a fickle scorned woman. maybe her red flower is blooming.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: CB NUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><br />69:00 - cb, it took so long to phone in bc he couldnt find his phone, duh.<br /><br />70:00 - anybody else think jack is as crazy as crazy lysa?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZYYYY LYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYSA.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Concur!</span><br /><br />71:00 - i dont remember hurley ever being in jail...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Double SIGH. Ok so in the beginning of the season, in 2007, Sayid came to break Hurley out of the loony bin. He knew Hurley was under surveillance and was taking him to a safe house. At this safe house there were 3 baddies waiting to attack them, Sayid killed them all (if you recall, one died by dishwasher). Someone took a cell phone pic, GG-style, of Hurley covered in blood, so the police and media thought he did it. Sayid was unconscious so Hurley drove him to his parents house, where his dad then took him to Jack to help him. Meanwhile, Ben (who was already working along with Jack) went to go see Hurley to get him to come with them back to the island. Hurley, upon seeing Ben, thought of Sayids words from earlier, to do the opposite of anything Ben says, so he ran outside of the house, which was surrounded by cops, and turned himself in. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: YOU DONT REMEMBER HURLEY BEING IN JAIL? Oy.</span><br /><br />72:00 - and cb wonders if that's charlie's guitar.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: LOVE THE THEORY!</span><br /><br />73:00 - oh hmm. this is not before hurleys first trip to the island. what does this mean? hurley didnt get visited before the first trip like everyone else?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Jacob visited Kate/Sawyer/Jack/Sun&Jin before flight 815, but Sayid and Hurley after they get back/before flight 316. I wonder what the significance of that is...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: VERY interesting, I also wonder significance. Also did not visit Juliet at all that we know of... :( </span><br /><br />74:00 - jacob is totally arranging the returns to the island? i thought ben or widmore were trying to do that. grar. or locke, thats why locke got sent back. but jacob just coulda done it himself. oyoyoy.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Apparently all 3 parties had a hand in it/wanted it to happen...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Looks like EVERYONE was busy arranging it! But I see Jacob as like a higher being, so maybe Jacob was also fully aware of what the others were doing.</span><br /><br />75:00 - "tell him i said hello." harhar, richard.<br /><br />76:00 - anybody wanna throw out some nuts re the attempted jacob assassination?<br /><br />77:00 - why is mm being so negative nelly!!!<br /><br />78:00 - HAHAHA. oh miles - you are SMART! and, if jack's nuke attempt is what causes the incident and everything that happens subsequently, id like to task cb to looking back at old blogs bc i am POSITIVE that somebody nutted this very fact!!!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: It was me it was me! I said I don't think they can change the past and whatever they do they're just going to do whatever they already did in the past, or something to that effect. I think the past cannot be changed.</span><br /><br />79:00 - note, that if jacks attempted bombing does cause the incident, and the statute to turn into a foot, among other things, one would have to think that jack is gonna die too, unless he somehow gets out of hydrogen bomb blast radius which seems a little ridic. for that matter. everyone should die, which ofc doesnt happen bc ben kills all dharma with the gas.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: What IS the radius of a hydrogen bomb? I think like when they were testing bombs near Los Alamos in the 1940s or whenever that was, maybe earlier, but I think they used to set off bombs underground and in the desert, so maybe a bomb set off UNDERGROUND won't destroy everything/everyone on top, since it seemed like the hole the bomb got dropped down went pretty deep. But then I guess if that happened it doesnt explain the statute. Maybe the explosion creates like an earthquake</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">OMG so this is where I had to STOP noting yesterday because I got a call to do work and then had to work until 2 AM and then come back to work this AM at 8:00 and do more work and now only FINALLY at 12 PM on May 15th am I able to squeeze in some resumed Lost blogging!!!!!!!!!! I guess I got cut off in the middle of a thought about the explosion creating an earthquake that brings down most of the statue but in retrospect that makes no sense because the statue is already only a foot in 1977, SO, raisin, makes no sense Rachel, my mind is all warbled</span><br /><br />80:00 - sawliet just rolled in in the van to save jack! this is just like when han and chewy came back to save luke from darth vader when he was blowing up the original death star!!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS yay star wars references!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><br />81:00 - cb tosses out that something locke and ben do with jacob will effect this here in the past. i tihnk thats wrong personally. goes against original faraday time travel theories.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I still don't want to believe the past can be changed!!! I am with Miles on the theory that the explosion CREATES the "incident" that leads to the necessity of creation of the Hatch</span><br /><br />82:00 - MAGNET TIME PEOPLE!!!!<br /><br />83:00 - nooooooooooo julietttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I CRIED. I LOVE Juliet. Even though I don't believe its possible and I think the past is written, I so want time to be rebooted so Juliet can live! And hopefully somehow still meet Sawyer and be Sawliet in rebooted history!!</span><br /><br />84:00 - this is sort of like the beginning of the sly stallone movie Cliffhanger.<br /><br />85:00 - cb is sad. mm thinks juliet's death is unneccessary. i, on the other hand, am confident she is not dead, or will be around for season 7 via some time travel or past changing activity.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I HOPE shes not dead but I think she IS. The past cannot be changed, according to original Faraday and Rachel's theories of time travel and destiny and the universe. The past is the past. Dead is dead. Everything up until the end is... progress. </span><br /><br />86:00 - i bet we get to find out whats in the box.<br /><br />87:00 - what did richard say to her?! whats going on?!?!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Thanks to EOnline: Richard's answer to Ilana's question ("What lies in the shadow of the statue?") was in Latin, He said, "</span><em style="font-family: georgia; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Ille qui nos omnis servabit</em><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >." Translation: "He who will save us all." </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: AKA, Jacob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also I love that Richard is "Ricardus," how old fashioned. How old IS Richard/Ricardus!!!</span><br /><br />88:00 - dead locke was in a different box? there are 2 lockes? the living locke is jacob posing as locke? somebody else? WHAT IS GOING ON PEOPLE!!!! WHERE ARE THE ANSWERS!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Locke is not alive! Dead is dead!!! We've seen "dead people" alive on the island many a time before, and now it seems clear these dead people are NOT those people after all. I think Nameless Nemesis can use corpses to appear all over the island, like Christian Shepard. I think Jacob just stays in his own body all the time. The Locke-esque guy walking around seems totally evil. AND I think he manipulated EVERYTHING up to this point, even manipulated making Locke think he had to die to get back and it would be OK. Poor dead Locke, not the true meant to be leader after all. Just a pawn, a pawn in Nameless Nemesis's evil evil Jacob-killing loophole-finding games.</span><br /><br />89:00 - well, there's jacob talking to living locke now!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Dead is Dead!!! Smokey taking human form! Nameless Nemesis making use of corpses! Ahhh!</span><br /><br />90:00 - loopholes?! esau found a loophole and is using living locke? or is living locke esau? or has locke always been esau? whats about to happen?!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Living Locke is Esau duh! And living locke was always locke until he DIED and came back to the Island as a corpse and Nameless Nemesis ("Esau" as you say) is inhabitating the form of his body, but clearly not the actual body, which is still in the box.</span><br /><br />91:00 - why does esau hate jacob so? and how did he get in lockes body? totes gotta rewatch the start.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Seems like he can take on forms of any corpses on the Island-- I bet Christian Shepard has been him all along. I wonder why they hate eachother and why he needed a loophole though. ALSO I wonder if the form we saw him in at the beginning of the ep was his "real" body or if he was inhabiting yet ANOTHER corpse in that scene with the fish on the beach and Jacob in the 1800s. maybe he doesn't HAVE his own human form. maybe it's just SMOKEY and SMOKEY is this mysterious thing but can take on the forms of corpses.</span><br /><br />92:00 - why didn't jacob try to defend himself? i mean it was obviously locke was up to no good!<span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"></span><br /><br />93:00 - WHO IS COMING?!?! the good guys?<br /><br />94:00 - dude, how is it so ez to kill jacob? thats nuts. howd the loophole work?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I think the loophole was Namless Nemesis can't kill Jacob himself, he neesd to get someone else to do it, and getting Ben to do it was the loophole, which he achieved by being Smokey or controlling Smokey and making Ben see his dead daughter and say he had to do everything John Locke said and then posing as John Locke and saying Kill Jacob.</span><br /><br />95:00 - i told everyone that juliet didnt kick the bucket. nut.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Anti-nut?</span><br /><br />96:00 - the bomb didnt go off apparently. i guess sayid wasnt a pro after all.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: OR did Sayid plan to sabotage this plan?</span><br /><br />97:00 - and... ruh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.<br /><br />98:00 - oh come on, really? thats it? ARE YOU KIDDING. wtf. i call bullshit. B.S.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: RAISIN for you. Juliet is dead. :( Very sad about that!! Sayid may be dead, real Locke is dead. WTF. At this rate, no one will be alive for the series finale!!! This ep was def different, there wasn't a super lot of action til the end, just suspense and a lot of WTF WILL THEY DO?? Classic tho - all buildup to the last few secs and big cliffhanger til next season. Not surprised there! J complained about not getting more of an answer, but this is a finale, they never give us answers, it's supposed to make us be like WTF til next season!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >Interesting point from Mike's </span><a style="font-family: georgia; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);" href="http://screenrant.com/lost-season-5-finale-review-discussion-rob-8424/">link</a><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >:</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >Also, this explains why Locke tells Richard to tell the real Locke during that time loop paradox that he needs to die in order to bring back the Oceanic Six to the island – It was actually Esau telling Richard that!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >Aha! Self-fulfilling prophecy no more! It was Esau pulling the strings!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: AHHHH Nameless Nemesis/Esau is the puppet master and everyone else has been mere puppets all along!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Poor foolish Locke with his convictions of destiny.</span><br /></span>Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16312656600255942016noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-46360489421017617192009-05-06T21:52:00.005-04:002009-05-11T14:01:31.832-04:00LOST post Faraday:( we'll miss you daniel!!!!<br /><br />1:00 - oh how harsh, we have to watch him die again :( alas, you cruel cruel world...<br /><br />2:00 - i thought that was desmond who hit jack. it sounded like desmond. cb nuts it was charles.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Desmond in 1977? Oh babe! </span><br /><br />3:00 - how'd those boats get in that bottle? i dont understand.<br /><br />4:00 - how'd john get a boar? i dont remember what happened when he left the beach after returning. did he just roll?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Last we saw Locke, he, Sun and Ben were headed towards the beach, but stopped at the Temple first so that Ben could be judged.</span><br /><br />5:00 - whats different about him, richard? locke whats your purpose? i dont understand!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: He's different because he's DIED. The island brought him back to life and now he has a greater sense of meaning and is in tune with the island even more than before!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: See I think the island may NOT have brought him back to life-- remember, "Dead is Dead." Christian Shepard came to the Island on Oceanic in a coffin, and once on the Island, has appeared to people all over the place as an all-knowing sort of Island ghost who provides guidance, presumably from the Island. So John Locke ALSO came to the Island in a coffin... So is he also like a Christian Shepard-type Island guide who is not REALLY the John Locke who walked the earth while alive, but a very different entity who is an imbodiment of the Island itself? Chew on that. I think something similar has happened to Claire.</span><br /><br />6:00 - lol sun. whose people ARE they?!<br /><br />7:00 -<br /><br />O.<br />M.<br />G.<br /><br />Richard watched them all die!!! they're gonna die in the past unless they change it new-faraday style!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: THIS blew my mind. Because if they ALL die for real, and it happens, WTF, how can so many beloved Lost characters all perish at once-- what is this, <span style="font-style: italic;">24</span>?! But if they DON'T die, but in the past Richard Alpert saw them die, then they CAN change time and it means Daniel's plan (in Jack's hands to execute) does work and the past changes so the future changes and so the plane never crashes etc etc etc, which makes no sense and negates the show and I refuse to believe and I think the past CAN'T be changed and this Jughead plan is destined for failure and may even be the CAUSE of the big explosion that necessitates the Hatch. SO, better answer to this, is that Richard Alpert THOUGHT everyone died that day, but really somehow the Losties we know and love escape it, through some sort of awesome time-traveling flash that puts them back in 2007 with Sun and Locke, or just by being somewhere else (like how Kate is in the sub with Sawyer and Juliet, and as much as I hope it gets off the island, I'm kinda feeling like there's no way that's happening). </span><br /><br />8:00 - cb (calmly) after that big reveal: "spoiler alert." me: "huh?" cb: "they're gonna all die"<br /><br />9:00 - do they die in the failed attempt to blow up the hydrogen bomb? tbh, if LOST doesn't wanna flake out and change its time travel theories, i think richard's gotta watch them die!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: He's certainly going to have to see something. We'll see how Lost works it out! I'm thinking that maybe they do do something with the hydro bomb, but it doesn't change the past, perhaps whatever Locke does with Jacob is what brings them back...I'm confused by all the possibilities. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: there are SO many possibilities, but I still believe the past can't be changed, and they don't all die. Also, Richard Alpert could have lied or bluffed or been mistaken about what he <span style="font-style: italic;">thought </span>he saw in the past.</span><br /><br />10:00 - tho i guess they could be revived by the monster/statue/temple like young ben was.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: So many possibilities! Why didn't they even TRY to revive Dan Faraday that way?</span><br /><br />11:00 - oh dharma. you should sue somebody for building your houses on that nuclear waste site!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Guess it's not in the shadow of the statue like some said!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: That was a big RK Raisin!! Maybe something under the shadow of the statue LEADS to these underground tunnels? I want to know how much of the Island this awesome network of underground tunnels spans and where all the exits and entrances are! That swimming under the water to get inside the tunnel was SO something out of Mario Brothers, by the way. </span><br /><br />12:00 - sawyers sure in a bad way. i bet he gets saved tho.<br /><br />13:00 - btw eloise confirmed faraday spoke to her in the 1950s, just like we always thought! gj us!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Yea but we knew this already. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Uh, duh</span><br /><br />14:00 - we both totally nutted that phil was gonna torture juliet to make sawyer talk. thats Torturer 101.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: And Phil is totally a little d-bag to do it.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: This episode <span style="font-style: italic;">is </span>like <span style="font-style: italic;">24</span>!</span><br /><br />15:00 - wheres hurley at? why cant they track him down?<br /><br />16:00 - oh here hurley is. stealing food...<br /><br />17:00 - whys dr chang seem to be following hurley?<br /><br />18:00 - lol at the dr chang v hurley history test. great dialogue.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: HIIIIIIIIIIIILARIOUS.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Hurley has had the best dialogue of any character this season. This history test thing was hilarious. I love that Dr Chang believes them!</span><br /><br />19:00 - widmore the newb doesnt recognize faraday from the 50s. loser.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: That's cause Widmore didn't see Faraday in the 50s, he saw Locke, Juliet, and Sawyer. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Ditto CB. Only Ellie saw Faraday in the 50s.</span><br /><br />20:00 - cool scene of john taking richard to save john after he got shot. i wish i remembered that scene to see if richard told john who told richard to be there. pretty awesome. also, cb is loving that all this amazing stuff that john was able to convince richard was all just stuff john already knew or did. its the self fulfilling john is the special leader prophecy.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: So awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the full circle-ness of everything on Lost. It is really interesting to try to figure out the linearity of it all and why they're doing all this. Like, at first, Locke didnt know what to do, but Richard came and told him that he's going to have to get everyone back to the island and die to do so, so he, and we, believed it thinking Richard knew everything. But really Locke told him what to tell Locke, because that's what already happened to him! But Widmore also told Locke (when he saw him after Locke left the island) that this was what had to be done, so is that the reason that Locke knows to tell Richard to tell Locke to bring them all back!?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: SO CIRCULAR, I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A self-fulfilling time loop! And maybe John is only thinking he's the Others' special leader because he told the Others he was in the past, and so in the future he thinks he is, but then he tells everyone he is, so he's only the special leader because he said he was!</span><br /><br />21:00 - and cb mentions the compass that john wants richard to give to john so john can give it to richard in the 50s. L.O.L.<br /><br />22:00 - nice of them to reshow this scene for us also.<br /><br />23:00 - oooh. John is calling "liar liar pants on fire" on ben seeing jacob ever!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: John totally is spot on! </span><br /><br />24:00 - "to give richard his compass back" - nutted by cb 3min ago!<br /><br />25:00 - hahahaha at the dying part. "glad that didnt have to happen"<br /><br />26:00 - awesome ep so far.<br /><br />27:00 - BANG BANG. cb: "Sayiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid"<br /><br />28:00 - twisty twisty.<br /><br />29:00 - bummer for sayid on that whole we saved ben linus thing...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Major bummer, but goes towards rule the past can't be changed!</span><br /><br />30:00 - jack: "this is our destiny." kate: "do you know who you sound like?" jn: "locke locke locke!!!!! (nut)'"<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Actually it was more like CB: "She means Locke baby. It's Locke. You probably don't get it, but it's Locke"</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: LOL</span><br /><br />31:00 - awww, and chang didnt abandon baby miles after all. it was only to save him! we totes all knew there was a good explanation.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CB Note: Yea I figured it was something like this but still awwwww for Miles realizing it!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Yay, we called this! I knew Dr Chang was a good daddy after all!!!! So happy Miles had the chance to realize it.</span><br /><br />32:00 - it would be kind of ironic if they all died except jawyer, who get off via sub, bet on the Cowboys, and live happily ever after.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I am SO rooting for this to happen! How awesome would it be, in theory, for Sawliet to be able to go right back to 1977 and know the future and thus profit off of it? They could live so happily ever after! </span><br /><br />33:00 - so howd they get the bomb in here to begin with? any guesses?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Secret passageway under the shadow of the statue? ;)</span><br /><br />34:00 - i like young eloise btw.<span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"></span><br /><br />35:00 - ruh roh. locke is trying to find out the man behind the jacob curtain! and hes bringing everyone.<br /><br />36:00 - "why do you think i tried to kill him" harharhar. think richard is like the real leader? i mean, hes the one who never dies... or ages... this is trixxy! but the island talks to john!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I know, very confusing! Who is Richard?! He is really anxious about bringing Locke to Jacob. Is he Jacob himself?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: SO INTERESTING, we are seeing shades of Richard we've never seen before... We know he's sort of bad because we saw him recruit Ben and initiate the Dharma purge and mass murder, but lately I've seen him as someone good who has answers and is peaceful and is an advisor and guide. But WHAT is going on here. Is Jacob a total hoax, like the man behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz? And so Ben DID try to kill John so he'd never come back, which I think John well knows and he's keeping Ben on a short leash. Locke might be dead ANYWAY, re: my earlier hypothesis.</span><br /><br />37:00 - and jacob talked to john last time he went to see jacob.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Well, Christian did. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Right, IS Christian Jacob? Is Locke now the new Christian and the new Jacob? Maybe Locke was ALWAYS Jacob? WHO is Richard Alpert and WHY does he not age! </span><br /><br />38:00 - well that sure is gonna ruin my "jawyer lives happily ever after" nut :( get off that sub kate!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: AWWWWWWWWWWWKWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: KATE RUINING EVERYTHING YET AGAIN! KATE MUCKING UP SAWLIET! ARGHHH!</span><br /><br />39:00 - oh, and also, 4 serious, this sub totes aint gettin off this island.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I'll give nut credit for that, I concur. </span><br /><br />40:00 - good point on that lack of trust logic sayid.<br /><br />41:00 - JOHN WANTS TO KILL JACOB WTFXOMGBBQ!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Awesomeness. If Jacob is a ghost or a god, how can you kill him? You can't kill something that's not alive.</span><br /><br />42:00 - and ohnoes the ep just ended. ARGH!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: 42:00 for you. Oy.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: How about Locke admitting to Ben that he lied to SUn about helping find Jin and revealed he wasn't interested in reuniting with the Losties at all?!?! What kind of monster has Locke come back as?!?!? he has his OWN agenda and is being a little cruel to poor Sun!</span><br /><br />and, whoa next week is the season finale!!! this season was just ridic amazing.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I don't want it to end :(</span><br />36:00 -<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I don't want it to end either!!!

"dr chang... Miles is your son"<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: So awesome. Can't believe Miles wussed out of confirming.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Me too! Miles totally should have confirmed!!!</span><br /><br />11:00 - whats dr chang supposed to do! obvi faraday is worried that jack is gonna mess it up i bet dr chang is gonna get killed perhaps... explaining how hes out of miles life.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Except Mommy Chang thinks he abandoned her and baby Miles... Hmmmm...</span><br /><br />12:00 - caryn nutted that this chick at faraday's graduation was the time travel girl that got mucked up.<span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"></span><br /><br />13:00 - that widmore grant surprised eloise. why?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Cause she didn't know he'd do that? Nut?</span><br /><br />14:00 - lol at hurley's "wishy washy"<br /><br />15:00 - i bet its faraday at the door interrupting the tem meeting.<br /><br />16:00 - nut.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Oy.</span><br /><br />17:00 - omg jackin' it up even further. now he wants to go see the hostiles!<br /><br />18:00 - and eloise is a hostile!!! and they need to find her! aaaaaaaaaaaaaa. is she gonna be that girl from the 1950s ep we thought she would be?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Duh she's a hostile. I nutted that back in 1954. The episode is also inconspicuously missing for JN's blog.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: SERIOUSLY, Justin? Please refer to e-mails from January, above. </span><br /><br />20:00 - dude, i dont even remember this "faraday crying at the plane crash" scene except now that im seeing it again i sorta remember it happening. and hes visited by widmoooooooooooooooore. omg the condition affects his memory? faraday is sick? it seems like hes sick in the future with memory trouble! htf did he get ok enough to get sent to the island! im so lost. and cb is being mean to me too bc i cant remember stuff.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Yes this is when I got fed up that J can't remember a single thing from this show. The whole fun is the remembering!!!! I bet you remember every stupid quest you've done in WOW, but not this stuff?!?! This is when I have to explain to J that yes, we saw the beginning part of the Faraday crying scene before last season when we got our first glimpse into the backstories of the 4 freighter peeps. Then I have to explain to him that Faraday was a scientist at Oxford and did time travel experiments on rats and people (himself and his assistant Theresa) who became "unstuck" and is now bedridden. Obviously whatever he tested on himself cause memory loss, and we (yet not J) did know that he had memory problems since we saw Charlotte playing a memory game with Daniel on the island last season. Please hate on JN now.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: LOL at CB's exasperation. I sympathize. I have hated on JN so much this blog though I'm starting to feel bad about it.</span><br /><br />21:00 - yea, whys this plane crash bothering faraday so much! i KNEW it was widmore that set up the fake, not ben. credit pls.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: No credit for something we all guessed (and was pretty much proven last ep by Miles mindreading that dead guy who worked for Widmore)</span><br /><br />22:00 - i dont see why faraday would be sad. this faraday hasnt met any of the people yet...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CB Note: Maybe he knows deep in his subconscious.</span><br /><br />23:00 - was faraday losing his memory every day when he first came to island. oooh, widmore just said the island woudl heal him, locke style.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Yes, just like it heals EVERYONE. </span><br /><br />24:00 - faraday: "why would you help me?" cb: "luke, i am your father."<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: LOL, and points for Star Wars references.</span><br /><br />25:00 - hey, faraday just said it was that girl we thought from the 50s!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: GROAN at Justin's thinking this is still a nut</span><br /><br />26:00 - cb totally just nutted faraday making a "dont come back to the island" charlotte pitstop.<br /><br />27:00 - faradays totes trying to change things. that cant work. whys chang sending poeple off the island?<br /><br />28:00 - cb's "lolling" over that "beginner" line.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: You know, when Kate's handing out the guns. lol.<br /></span><br />29:00 - so, am i the only one who immediately thought "i cant belive nobody shot those giant drums of fuel" immediately, and then "finally" when jack got aroudn to.<br /><br />30:00 - rusedski is a dbag btw. cant wait ot see him get killed.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: We discussed in a prior blog how he's the guy who ends up pushing the buttons with a partner prior to Desmond's arrival. And he killed himself.</span><br /><br />31:00 - things are NOT looking good for jawyer.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: LOL to jawyer as opposed to sawliet</span><br /><br />32:00 - a few things on this faraday plan. first, i believe it was totally nutted by somebody that this buried hydrogen bomb from the 50s woudl totally find later usage. second, im nto sure how i feel about this "hey i can change the past" stuff now...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Yes I believe this was nutted by somebody. I think I nutted that Jughead (the bomb) is buried beneath the shadow of the statute, and thus is what lies beneath the shadow of the statute. Not sure if that is right, but I like Faraday's insane plan to detonate a hydrogen bomb to somehow eradicate the electromagnetic forces. I'm no physicist, but... Sounds to me like a recipe for two explosions, or just a super big explosion. </span><br /><br />33:00 - re my second question, cb quite legitamtely nuts that faraday's plan will fail, thereby preserving the past. it better, as far as im concerned. im not sure how all this "people are variables" stuff would makes sense anyway!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I do NOT like this whole changing of the past thing, because if you can change the past, it could be like the entire show of Lost never happened, and an alternate reality will exist where dead people can be alive and live people can be dead, and Jack, Kate, etc, might never be on the island at all, and are they just going to VANISH to accomodate this alternate reality, and then time and the past would be in constant flux and could change over and over and over again ALL the time and it just would make no sense and make this show as awful as Heroes. I'm going to nut that they TRY to change the past, but it fails every time, and they just wind up going what fate destined them to do all along... </span><br /><br />34:00 - "for the first time in a long time, i dont know whats going to happen next". oh eloise.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Perhaps because she was only visited in the past with knowledge leading up to the Lost-day present, aka, what Jack and Kate etc know up to 2007 (the present in Lost time) and tell her when they hang out with her in 1977 is all she knows... After that, the future is unknown to her.</span><br /><br />35:00 - HES WIDMORES SON TOO!! SLAP!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Second DUH. Nut from way back!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Refer to e-mails from JANUARY. Seriously, nutted from three months ago.</span><br /><br />36:00 - also.. she sent him back "knowing full well"... knowing WHAT full well?!?!<br /><br />37:00 - well, i guess we know WHAT she knew full well. however, as for faraday dying, i do NOT like it. aside from him being a great char, i want him aroud nto explain stuff!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I'm also piiiiiiiiiissed about this development. I really liked Faraday. He was a really interesting character. So the question is...why did Eloise send him back?! She knew she had killed him, so she knew she had to send him? Cause the past has to have happened like it did a la Faraday? Whatever it is, it sucks. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Maybe he's not dead? Maybe Richard Alpert can take him to that Temple where they took Ben after Ben was shot and steal his innocence and heal him into an Other just like Mommy and Daddy? If he's dead, SADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD! And what a mean bad Mommy knowing his whole life she's going to shoot him dead and then forcing him to abandon his dreams of being a pianist and forcing him onto the path of being a scientist who must go to the island and DIE. Worse mom than Sun!</span><br /><br />Re next week: how convenient that jack can apparently read the journal instructions!Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16312656600255942016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-46422028496526471792009-04-23T09:21:00.004-04:002009-09-03T17:04:07.058-04:00A Storm of Swords Entry 8Well, a day's absense in memoriam for the day that Caryn threw the book. I shall not speak of the events that transpired any more. All that should be said has been said. Requiascat in Pace.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: :(</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: SO SAD. But... valar morghulis. We discussed this via e-mail/gchat, so I suppose its all been said. But let me note my extreme DISAPPOINTMENT that LB this is apparently your LAST ASOS blog entry!!! Sigh :(</span><br /><br />Anyway, the next chapter I dare speak of is Tyrion. Awk. dinner w/ Tyrion and Sansa. He should just freaking get the marriage annulled. JN--Think there was any jactitation of marriage here? Sansa goes to the godswood (maybe she'll be rescued afterall!) and Tyrion goes to Tywin's chamber where everyone is waiting. They have news from the Twins of the day that Caryn threw the book. Everyone is all rejoicing and stuff and Tyrion realizes this is what Tywin was all secretly plotting. Ass hole. Joffrey talks about how he wants everyone's heads and Tywin says he must forgive those people who bend their knee b/c it's the only way to be a King. Joffrey says some nasty stuff back to his grandfather about how Tywin was afraid of Aerys and then Tywin essentially sends him to bed without dinner. Joffrey is such a jackass. Tywin and Tyrion talk about how he needs to be taught a lesson. Apparently Roose has been named Warden of the North and is going to take Arya and marry her to his bastard. Ugh . I hope Arya finds needle and feeds Roose's manhood to the goats! Does this mean Arya isn't dead? I'm confused. Also how are they going to get her...I thought they didn't know where she is? Sigh.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Tywin was behind is all!! What a royal D-BAG! He can go to hell, and take stupid Joff with him!!!!!!!!!! (I am too upset about the Red Wedding to note further on the topic)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Of course Arya isn't dead!!! The Hound just smacked her on the back of her head with the flat of his axe to save her from running into the Red Wedding and gteting butched! Ugh Tywin plotting with that damn Frey, but it was ALL Robb's damn fault for marrying Jeyne Frey!!! That Joff dare talk back to Tyrion, someone needs to PUT HIM IN HIS PLACE!!!!!!!! Also how the F did they manage to skin Grey Wind without some ppl dying? Do you think Grey Wind just like dropped dead when Robb died? Are they that connected that one cannot live without the other?</span><br /><br />To Davos. Melisandre and the ugly Queen are all happy about the news of Robb's death. Melisandre foretold it and the whole leach blood thing blahhhh. Now they are making the case again that Stannis should let them kill Robert's bastard in order to raise dragons. Davos convinces them that Joffrey is still alive and so the prophecy wasn't fulfilled and Stannis spares the bastard again. Davos has an awkward convo with Stannis where he keeps on challenging him. Stannis apparently saw a vision of a king with a flaming crown that burned him. Freaking Melisandre is gonna be the death of him! Davos goes to his reading lesson with Pylos (which is btw, sooo hillarious). He ends up reading a letter from the wall about the wildlings coming. He hadn't heard this before. Apparently Pylos had given it to the old hand who dismissed it.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Everyone ignores the wall! When all the wildlings come down and attack them, i bet they'll wish they helped!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Osha warned them, they're matching the wrong way!!!! Forget the wildlings, what if those Others come! They seem to be the DARK that is the opposite of R'Hllor's LIGHT that Melisandre is claiming is the REAL war... Its cute how Davos is learning to read with the kids!!!</span><br /><br />Jon at the wall waiting for the wildlings to come. He is on a crutch and limping and is placed on the roof with a longbow. They wait all day and nothing happens. Then the wildlings come at night. Very dramatic scenes here of Jon limping and like shooting people down. The wildlings are apparently winning at some point with a lot of Night's Watch dead and then they all excitedly charge towards the gate, which is a trap. Jon and the others light the stairs on fire and it consumes all of the wildlings. The wall defends itself!!! Jon goes to see and finds Ygritte with an arrow in her chest dying. It isn't his arrow but he feels guilty. They have a touching conversation about the night in the grotto and he says she won't die. Her last words are "You know nothing, Jon Snow." How touching and sad :(.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: WHAT an exciting chapter, right?!?! The whole time I'm like, how are they going to make it? What are they gonna do?! It wasn't looking good. and then BAM. The wall defends itself. And I heart Jon Snow even more.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I am SO glad the wall defends itself and SO glad the Nights Watch had such a good plan! Sad about Ygritte dying of course. It keeps looking sooooo bad for the Wall but then the Nights Watch has such good clever plans up their sleeves!!! YAY JON SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"></span><br /><br />Super long and exciting Bran chapter next. Bran Meera Jojen and Hodor are at Nightfort one of the abandoned towers on the wall. Jojen had dreamed that there was a gate here but it is barred. We learn that Bran has dreamed of the Night that Caryn threw the book and hasn't told anyone yet :(. Also apparently he was conscious of helping Jon with the wildlings. They make camp in the kitchens when Bran wakes up to a noise coming from steps in the well. He wakes up Meera who snares something coming out of the well. It is.....Sam and Gilly!! It makes me happy that different characters are coming together! Turns out Sam and Gilly were rescued by the guy who isn't a wight after all. They've named him coldhands. He told them that they would cross over this underground passage by this secret gate that only Night's Watch people can open and find someone. This someone is clearly Bran and did I not Nut that Coldhands was the Three Eyed Crow! NUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.<br />Also, a few things here. Cute dialogue when Sam realizes Bran is Jon's brother and tells Summer he knows Ghost and Summer like licks Sam's hand. I only trust people who Pokey likes. Also when they are waiting for something to come out of the well, Bran is again able to go into Hodor's skin. He's gonna be such a talented warg!!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Another GREAT chapter. This Jon/Bran duo of chapters is like the only reason I continued to read after the Night I Threw The Book. It made me smile again!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Also, is it being a warg to be able to go into Hodor, or being something else? I thought the term Warg was wolf-specific, but maybe not. I LOVED this chapter, I love when characters unite, I love how Sam realized it was Jon Snow's brother and met Summer and she licked his hand! So cute! I want a direwolf!!!</span><br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">LB I AM SO SAD YOUR BLOGGING ENDED HERE!!!</span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-3995557648101356742009-04-21T12:07:00.006-04:002009-09-03T16:18:02.514-04:00A Storm of Swords Entry 7Begin with Jon riding towards the wall. Poor guy is badly injured and feverish and delirious. He gets to the Kings Road and finally reaches Mole Town where he can get a fresh horse. When he gets to the Shadow Tower, they admit him but apparently had word that he had gone over to Mance Rayder b/c someone had spied him in the camps. There have been wild<em>l</em>ings climbing over the walls but Jon tells them this is a distraction, the real threat is coming from the Gift where people already are. They go to see Maester Aemon who tells him about all the news, including that Bran and Rickon are "dead." Jon seems to be unsure if Bran is already dead because he saw summer and he asks if Bran could have gone on living in Summer's body. I think Maester Aemon thinks he's just delirious though. They start mending his leg, which seems mighty painful. Jon speaks to some of his old friends who tell him what had happened at Crasters. Apparently about 12 or so made it out. They tell him about Sam killing the Other with the dragon glass but say they left him there muttering with Mormont. Jon is distraught but at least he got them some warning!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Way to go Jon!! I was so happy he made it back!! Not much else to say for this chapter.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: smart by jon asking about bran and summer. hes alive jon, you knwo it in your heart! as for what to do about the wildlings, its a good thing jon got back in tiem to warn them!<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I can't believe Jon made it back to the Wall! I am so USED to Arya journeying far and wide and never being able to get to Riverrun that I've come to not actually expect anyone to get to where they want to go, especially considering how far Jon has come! But he made it back to the Wall! AMAZING, that Jon Snow!!!</span><br /></span></span><br />Catelyn and Robb have finally reached the Freys. As they are entering Grey wind like attacks one of the Frey's (Pimply Peter or something lol) and Robb almost can't call him off. They go in to talk to old man Frey who is, as usual, gross and old and annoying. Robb apologizes to him and he like parades his daughters and such around being like look what you missed. But overall it went slightly better than they thought. Which makes me suspicious. He's up to something. Edmure meets Roslin who turns out to be kinda cute. Catelyn is suspicious though so when she leaves the great hall she questions the Maester who assures her that nothing is wrong with her reproductively-speaking. Oh Catelyn, always so practical! Roose Bolton shows up informing them that they had lost a battle to the mountain. Ugh. He also has a piece of Theon's skin, which he says his bastard took. He claims that Theon is still alive and that they should ransom him b/c he is successor to the throne.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I never like it when our Starks are separated from their wolves! I'd keep Patches by my side no matter what. You didnt mention also, Catelyn remembers to ask for food when they first get to the Twins, so that they'd be protected by Guest Right. She IS practical, isn't she? Also, if you were Frey, why would you marry Edmure to a pretty daughter?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: when i go to long island, i bring Hamlet with me so we can always be together! also, eww at all this flaying of skins. As for Petyr Pimple, this one week cb had a pimple, so i kept calling it petyr pimple. it was very cute :)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Oh noes, I was hoping Theon was DEAD DEAD DEAD as a doornail! I was VERY suspicious of the Freys being up to something when Roslin was pretty and the rooms they were given were nice. It is NEVER GOOD when Grey Wind is not in the hall with Robb!!! JN you are cute when you give CB's pimples affectionate names.</span><br /><br />Arya and the Hound are arriving at the Twins. They get by a guard b/c the Hound is dressed as a farmer who is bringing some pork for the wedding. The wedding has already occurred and they're in the celebration (or so they can here). They are sent to some tent to give the food to some tent but they head towards the castle. Not much happening here.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I was so happy at this chapter! Arya's so close!!! She's gonna get to see Catelyn!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: does this mean's LB's much disputed pity nut on Houdn helping arya is going to come true?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I was sooooooooooooooooooooooo excited and ready for an Arya/Catelyn/Robb reunion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><br />I was so pissed 'cause I had to stop in the middle of this chapter! Catelyn is watching as a lot of people get majorly drunk and stuff at the wedding. She seems somewhat nervous something is gonna happen. The music is terrible. They won't let Grey Wind into the wedding! Robb has danced with all of the Freys as he promised. And Roose goes to the privy...and that's all I got to...Sigh...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Booooooo to not finishing your chapter! Stupid trains, stupid work! Can't we just read all day instead??<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: even if we couldnt read all day, coudl we wow all day? thatd be good too. as for the wedding, who doesnt get drunk at weddings?! altho i will say, it sorta sucks when the badn plays bad music. more Disturbia and 80s pls! less 60s! screw the old people!<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I wish we could read all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Catelyn has a sense of foreboding at this wedding for sure.... And that band sure is terrible, something sure is fishy about that... Its never a good sign when the "Winds of Castamere" begin to play and its not a Lannister wedding...</span><br /></span></span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com41tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-18902020187668162722009-04-20T09:17:00.006-04:002009-09-03T16:04:46.846-04:00A Storm of Swords Entry 6More character-by-character goodness. As I will point out in the Arya section, I believe I must be given credit for a semi-G-chat nut. CB can witness!<br /><br /><u>Sam</u>: The remaining few Night's Watchmen have reached Crasters again. Craster has taken them in grudgingly and is feeding them but not enough. There are grumblings by some of the men that he has a hidden cache of food. They can hear that girl giving birth, the one who tried to get Jon to take her with. Sam talks to Mormont who is wondering why they didn't know about the Dragonglass being what kills the Others. He said that they need to go find more. The girl, whose name I now see is Gilly (which reminds me of Harry Potter 4, where he has to breath under water and takes Gilly weed) does in fact have a boy. They go to have a feast and at some point, one of the men starts complaining that Craster is holding out on them. There is an argument and when Craster goes at them the Night's watch dude kills him! Mormont is enraged! This is now way for a guest to act. Then all hell breaks loose and dude stabs Mormont. NOOooooo. The Old Bear is dying in Sam's lap. He tells Sam he must go back to the wall and warn them. Then a couple of the older wives come and tell Sam he must go and take Gilly with him with the child. The Others come and take the newborn boys. They get them some supplies and horses and let them on the way.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! This chapter was CRAAAAAAAaZY! Like, Lysa-Crazy! I couldn't believe what I was reading! So killed Mormont!! The Old Bear!!!!! Say it ain't so! Lol at the Gilly weed. Doesn't Mormont leave a dying wish for Sam to tell Jorah that he's sorry/he forgives him/he wants him to join the Watch or something like that? Anyway, I really wanted to smack those ungrateful dudes who started the fight. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: oh poor Old Bear! this was pretty sad. what will the Nights Watch do without their Bear! they are leaderless. frankly, if i didnt have my bear, id be lost :( I cant believe those dummies violated Guest Right! tyrion sure was right when he told jon in book 1 that the nights watch was lots of thieves rapists and murderers. GRR!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I was SO SAD when Commander Mormont was murdered, and by his own men!! Correct about his dying wish for Jorah!! If he only KNEW what Jorah's been up to in exile! NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE A FIG FOR GUEST RIGHT LATELY, ITS AWFUL!!! Its a shame the Nights Watch is made up mainly of such poor stock.</span><br /><br />Sam and Gilly travel down South towards the wall. They have two horses but one dies so Sam has to walk. They reach a village and get ready to stay for the night. They fall asleep and wake up with the fire out and someone at the door. It's Small Paul...as a wight!!! Noooo. Sam tells Gilly to take the horse out. He lunges at Small Paul with the dragon glass dagger but it shatters!!!! (Huh? So I guess Wights are different than Others?) Sam somehow gets to a burning piece of wood as Paul is about to strangle him and sets him on fire! yayyyy. He goes outside though and Gilly is surrounded by Wights. Oh no!!!! But then, a huge amount of crows start coming at the wights and peckign at them. There is this mysterious dude all in black who has rescued them. Woohooo! They are excited but then Sam sees the dude's hands and it is all black. Ruh roh.... (PS: Is this the three eyed crow Bran is looking for??)<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Ok so, I was SO FRICKIN SCARED during this chapter!!! I seriously thought it was like the scariest chapter ever, reading about the sight of all the wights surrounding them, I was like totally freaked out. And per our gchat discussion, we will not be commenting on your PS question lol. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: obviously, if GRRM wanted you to know who this big dude with the cold black hands who saved them was, he woulda told you. as for what we'll do, youll have ot wait! as for Others and Wights, i strongly suggest you look at recent notes i made to either ASOS or rk's AGOT blogging, where i describe the difference. sicne you dont know it, it is apparent that you are SKIPPING the extensive noting that goes on when rk finalls reads her chapters. SHAME ON YOU!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Um, actually baby, it was one of LB's blogs where we had a whole discussion of Wight vs Other....sooooo kinda looks like YOU are the one who isn't paying close enough attention...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I think the glass shattered against Small Paul's chainmail-- it appears Wights are clad in whatever they died in. LOL to the JN/CB exchange and discussing of my RK noting. My first guess when someone rescued them was that it was Benjen Stark and he's been somehow living out there in the cold and has become like half-dead with black frostbitten hands but he's still out there as a protector. But from further reading it seems its the 3-eyed crow. Unless Benjen Stark IS also the 3-eyed crow!</span><br /><br /><u>Bran</u>: Speaking of Bran, he Meera and Jojen have lead him to the gift and they reach this village with a castle surrounded by water. Bran remembers from one of Old Nan's stories that there is a hidden causeway under the water so they walk through and get to the tower. They go up to the top and settle in for the night b/c a storm is coming. As the storm is starting they see a solitary rider, then the lightning starts and Hodor is freaaaaaaaaked out and screaming HODOR HODOR!! All of a sudden Jojen sees a whole bunch of people coming into the village and they try and shut Hodor up. Interesting moment when Bran screams HODORR STOPP!!! and is able to become Hodor for a second before he calms down. Bran is gonna be a talented Warg!!! He then senses Summer who can "smell fear."<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: If bran could warg into hodor, he could be a strong powerful knight!!! any guesses on who is in that village? i bet its jon....</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: AWESOMENESS on Bran being able to be Hodor. If he can perfect this, he'll be able to WALK, through other people!!!! But what happens to Hodor when Bran is controlling Hodor, I'd like to know.</span><br /><br /><u>Jon</u>: Turns out the people in the village that Bran saw were the wildlings that Jon is traveling with. Jon is still Ygritting his teeth and playing along with all the Wildling stuff. But he's trying to figure a way out of there. When they get to a village head wildling dude calls Jon and says they've found this old man (the man that Bran saw). To prove his loyalty Jon must kill the guy. Jon cannot make himself do it b/c the guy is old and innocent. Ygritte is angry and goes up and kills the man and says something like You know nothing Jon Snow. As she does so a wolf comes and attacks the wildlings. Jon thinks it's Ghost but in fact it's Summer! Jon takes the opportunity with all the confusion to take a horse and ride away. After he escapes enough he stops and notices he has an arrow in his leg which he grotesquely pulls out. He turns to go warn the Night's Watch.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Gotta do the above two in one note. AHHHHHHHHH!!! How awesome were these two chapters?!?! I love how it starts from Bran's POV and continues on through Jon's. Also, I'm pretty sure I nutted that the group of people were the group of Wildlings with Jon back in Bran's chapter. Just to toot my own hown a bit. ;) YAY SUMMER! She saved Jon!!!! He finally got away!!!! SO HAPPYYYYY!!! </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: nut for me!! great b2b chapters imo. and cb did nut that. i was impressed at the time. love how bran saved jon! and now jon can go warn the Wall! if anybody made it back, that is :(</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: *Eyeroll* at your "nut"</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: big LOL to the Ygritting his teeth pun. This was AMAZING and its so nice that through Summer Bran realized Jon was there and saw him!!! I was hoping for a reunion though, there was that brief moment when Jon was with Ygritte and told her about the causeway and they were contemplating going to the tower, and I was so hopeful for a Jon/Bran reunion! Alas...</span><br /><br /><u>Davos</u>: He is called from the cell by one of the Queen's relatives (name?) He's freaked out 'cause he thinks that Melisandre has convinced Stannis to burn him. Turns out Stannis finally wants to see him. They talk about what to do with the former hand. Stannis says they must kill him b/c the punishment for treason is death. Davos makes a pointed (and rather reckless) remark about how Stannis betrayed Aerys, the former king. Stannis talks about how he had to choose between honor and family. He thinks Jaime should have been sent to the wall for killing Aerys as Ned had suggested. Queen's relative wants to be the King's hand and has an idea to go take this one island with this old dude who had fought for Stannis at King's Landing but knelt to Joffrey after they lost. Davos tells Stannis that he thinks this is a terrible idea and cowardly. *Audible gasp* Moment of tension. What is gonna happen!?! Turns out Stannis wants to name Davos his hand. Prolly the first good decision Stannis has made. Davos is not a yes man like the rest of them, willing to switch gods and everything just cause Stannis wants them to. Turns out, btw, that now Stannis is starting to see visions in the flames. Methinks that staring into the fire a little too long can make one delirious...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Ser Axell is the one that comes for Davos and wants to be the hand. Yay for Hand Davos! Methinks that looking into the flames may be like looking at the clouds. Look hard enough and shapes begin to form! However, one can't doubt that Melisandra HAS seemed to seen things that have happened in her flames. So who knows!! In this very chapter, we learn that Melisandre showed Stannis the fight at the fist in the flames. So...shrug! Also at the end of this chapter, Melisandre gives Stannis a leech with all the other king's blood - Robb, Joff, and Balon Greyjoy. How the heck did she get those anyway?!?! He won't let her kill Edric to get the "blood of the king" so they're using the blood of the current kings instead. Wonder what will happen!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: it sure is the first good decision stannis has made. davos is no toady like mm. as for this leech talk, im pretty sure that it doesnt actually have those ppls blood. i think she was just cursing them, and wanting to use edric's blood to do it. good cloud comparison too. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Ohhhh. So it was Edric's leeched blood, but he just said each of the kings names while throwing them into the fire. I remember now. </span><br /><br /><u>Tyrion</u>: Was not a fan of this chapter to be honest. It was a bit slow. Tyrion rides out to meet the representatives from Dorne who have come for Joffrey's wedding. Something is immediately wrong because the lord of Dorne has sent his son who is a jackassssss (Oberyn or whatever.) Oberyn is likely to cause problems and Tyrion wonders if he was meant to cause such conflict. Plus the Tyrells hateee the Martells so this is gonna be a problem. They get into this verbal sparring thing and Oberyn tells about how he visited Castlerly Rock after Tyrion was born. He had expected to see this huge monster with a tail and deformities but it wasn't all that bad. Cersei was horrible even back then and horrible image where she takes baby Tyrion's penis and twists it around until he cries. (Um, omg, what?!) Oberyn talks about how he wants to kill the mountain. Tyrion essentially tells him to fuck off and then rides away. Oh also we learn that there is now a tax on whoring. Tyrion is reallllly doing everything to make himself unpopular...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Notes: True, this isn't a very exciting chapter. But I thought Oberyn was a fun guy to read. Also, he is Prince Doran's brother, not son. Their sister Elia was married to Prince Rhaegar and was murdered along with her children during the whole throne takeover. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: and, as we all know, the one who did the murdering was Ser Gregor the Mountain. But who ordered the code red??? anyway, i enjoyed this chapter, as Oberyn is quite the character, plus that old story about the visit to casterly rock was good. in the old war, the Martells and Dorne fought with the Targaryens bc Elia was married to Rhaegar. and that tax on whoring wasnt tyrions idea i believe, but he just gets blamed again. whats it called again? oh yea, the dwarf's penny. reread my notes to a blog or 2 ago fora chuckle. :)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Tywin obviously ordered the Code Red, but maybe Tyrion thinks Oberyn<span style="font-style: italic;"> just can't handle the truth</span>! Maybe he was an early riser and liked to pack in the morning. Maybe he didn't have any friends.</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"> I'm an educated man, but I'm afraid I can't speak intelligently about the travel habits of one Private Santiago. Are these really the questions I was called here to answer? Phone calls and foot lockers? Please tell me that you have something more! Anyway, I digress... I think this Oberyn might not be so bad... I am aligned with his desire to kill Ser Gregor, that is for SURE!!! And I'm still pretty pissed about the killing of Princess Elia and Rhaenarys and the little infant babe, myself! </span><br /><br /><u>Jaime</u>: Goes to the bathhouse to clean up in preparation for his meeting with Roose. Awkwardness ensues when he notices Brienne and goes to sit with her and she's all bashful and covers up. We learn huge news here. Turns out that Aerys was going to burn King's Landing before Robert got there and this is why Jaime killed him! He never told anyone 'cause the Kingsgaurd are sworn to keep the King's secrets. (Umm, really Jaime, at that point you've <em>killed</em> the King you were sworn to protect and you care about keeping his stupid secret.) They go to see Roose. Roose doesn't want to be implicated in Vargo's folly of cutting off his hand so he is going to send Jaime back to King's Landing. Brienne he is giving to Vargo. Eek.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Another great chapter!! Some more weird sexual tension between Brienne and Jaime right?? Taking a bath together all naked lol. Anyway, I liked that Jaime told Brienne the whole story. And obviously, awesome stuff to learn. I also believe in this chapter Roose mentions something about Arya...do you recall? And damn that Roose, not wanting to "deprive Vargo of both his prizes." Oh noes!!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: interesting stuff! that mad king aerys deserved to be Kingslayed! we knew he was nutso from earlier stories as well, including Jaime's to Catelyn of how he killed Neds brother and dad. brienne is in trouble if she doesnt get some sapphireth athap!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Aw the bathhouse scene! Roose is so complicated, sometimes he does good things but he is also a cold DOUCHE bastard, and he shows it at times like when he gives Brienne back to Vargo. He is cold and has no honor. Much like his bastard son, who he's not even very attached to. I kind of wanted Jaime and Brienne to hook up in the bath btw. </span><br /><br />Jaime is traveling down to King's landing with the ex-Maester dude who is hoping that by helping Jaime, Tywin will get him his chain back. (Never hope for help from a Lannister!) Jaime has a dream where he is in this cave where he faces the ghosts of people he killed. Brienne is there and helps him. Jaime wakes up and insists on going back for Brienne. When they get back to Harrenhaal she is in a bear pit unarmored (b/c she had bit off Vargo's ear lol). Jaime offers to pay her ransom her but Vargo says no. Then he jumps into the pit to help her. Fat load of good this does with one hand. Finally one of Roose's men shoots down the bear with an arrow and they take Brienne with. Jaime comes off in this two chapters seeming almost...I dunno...noble! Odd.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Yay! I get to beat J at what he so desperately wants to write...A Bear! A Bear! All black and brown and covered with hair! The bear, the bear, and the maiden fair. Moving right along. Great dream right??? So crazy!! And then Jaime goes back to save Brienne from the Big Bad Bear! That Jaime is full of surprises...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: as i noted earlier, i believe that these were the chapters when cb finally stopped hating jaime. remember tho, he did throw bran off that ledge. altho he did it for love. of his sister. what morally difficult questions! as for cb stealing my thunder, i always knew brienne was A MAIDEN FAIR! as for jaime's plan to save her, he knew roose's men would have to kill the bear so he didnt get killed, bc tywin would NOT have liked that.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Brienne is the Maiden Fair in the song with the bear?! Really? All this was foreshadowing to the bear pit? But who was the song written ABOUT? I was horrified by poor Brienne in the bear pit with only a tourney sword, and Jaime was SO noble and chivalrous to go back for her and save her!! So GALLANT! </span><br /><br /><u>Dany</u>: She is with her unsullied at this other slavers city. She has lifted the whole can't have names for more than a day thing and has named one of the Unsullied as captain and he is pretty good apparently. The people from the other city (name?) are lining up for battle. They consist of various groups including this one group of Sellswords (The Second Brothers) and the Stormcrows. Dany talks with the different groups proposing to come to her side. The Stormcrows have three leaders who refuse. The Second Brothers dude just wants to do her and she gives him a lot of wine. Then one other dude comes and tries to give her a bribe to not attack; she offers that if he releases all of the slaves of the city and let her in the gate she will not attack. She gives him until the next morning to decide. Trixxxxy Dany decides that she is going to attack that night while the one dude is deciding and the other dude is too drunk to fight. While they are getting ready one of the Stormcrow dudes who has like blue hair and stuff comes and says he killed the other leaders and wants to be on her side. She takes his oath and he agrees to lead his men on her side. Jorah is not happy with this and Dany yells at him about how he can't be the only one she trusts. Awwkwardddddddd.. While waiting for the battle to end she sits with that old squire who tells her of her brother and how he was born depressed and always super sad. Jorah comes back announcing victory. Dany goes to the city and all the freed slaves are running around calling her Mother. Apparently this was one of the visions in the Undying place. (Sorry, I don't remember... LOL).<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: The city Dany is at is Yunkai. I love these chapters with Dany. She's so kickass. Total OUCH for Jorah when she tells him that she doesnt love him and he's not going to be the only man in her life. The old squire who talks to Dany about her bro is Arstan. And yup, the vision from the House of the Undying was of "ten thousand slaves reaching out to touch her and crying "mother" as she rides past."</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: this was a pretty innocuous vision coming true, young squirrel. make some effort for getting the big ones! as for this Arstan, i believe this isnt the first time hes told dany about her fam. which is nice, bc she only ever knew that tool viserys. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I love the Dany chapter, she is SO badass, and its so noble how she wants to free all the slaves! She is so CLEVER, this one is trixxier than Tyrion lately!!!!</span><br /><br /><u>Catelyn</u>: Sad funeral of her father. Edmure misses the raft with the flaming arrows three times before Brynden doe sit for him (Edmure is kinda loser...) Attends an audience b/w Robb and some of the Freys. They are mighty pissed about Robb marrying someone else but have agreed that Edmure will marry his granddaughter (name?). Edmure is not happy b/c he doesn't know her but they convince him to accept to make up for his folly on Trident.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Who felt totes awkward as Edmure kept missing the boat. Ouch. The deal is that Edmure is betrothed to Roslin Frey, Walder Frey's youngest daughter (from his 6th wife, natch). You also failed to mention that Robb and Catelyn get news about Winterfell in this chapter!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: edmure should suck it up and do as hes told. im pretty sure he Fed up earlier and its his fault tywin was able to save kings landing and beat stannis in the first place. as for the marriage stuff, id be mad to if i was gonna get to marry a Queen but instead i had to marry her loser aunt edmure.</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"></span><br /><br />They march to the wedding and it's raining. Catelyn pisses off her brother by saying that he should be hoping that his new wife is loyal not pretty. Then she pisses off Robb who wants to name Jon Snow his heir in case he has no son. Catelyn, who hates Jon Snow, thinks this is a terrible idea. (Whereas I was like yayyy King Jon Snow!) They cannot cross the river b/c of the rains and have to go around it. They meet up with a traveler who has escaped from Dragonstone. Balon Greyjoy is dead. Robb forms this plan to split his forces into three and march up the neck to retake Moat Cailin. Catelyn isn't so sure. Turns out he is sending Catelyn to Seagard to wait out the war. Catelyn has been trixxxxxxxxxed!!!! (Where is Seagard again?)<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I also was like YAY KING JON SNOW! I heart Jon. Looking at the map, Seagard is just a bit West of the Twins, much farther North than Riverrun. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Balon Greyjoy is dead? ohnoes, was it melisandre? he totes deserved it tho, fyi. Seagard is on the map, its just a town on the west coast far away from stuff. as for this King Jon Snow business - great idea robb! cant have sansa being your heir and letting tyrion be king!!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I also was all YAY JON SNOW, I wish Catelyn were kinder to him!</span><br /><br /><u>Arya</u>: So much awesome Arya stuff. They go to this secret cave where Thoros is there. He looks nothing like he used to, all gaunt and skinny. Turns out he has refound the whole Lord of Light thing. (Bit of a reborn nutso if you ask me.) Hound is there and they are sitting in judgment of him. Turns out there is going to be combat b/w him and Beric to judge him. Trial by combat, btw, is the dumbest thing ever!!! I already "blogged" this by im so I won't go into too much detail. Beric has flaming sword which Hound is scared of but some how Hound wins :(. They send him off.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: note, as far as judging is concerned, it seemed that beric was gonna win ez, but all of a sudden hound just broke his sword! was it Rhllor intervening?!?!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: OMG @ you and Rhllor. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: R'hllor sure has some powers to bring Beric back to life SIX TIMES. I mean omg that is some crazy power....</span><br /><br />Next they ambush this group of Bloody Mummers and and end up hanging them all. Arya talks to Beric and he tells her about the many times he almost died, twice by the hand of the stupid Cleganes. Not much happens.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: ummm.. Thoros has been bringing beric back from the dead multiple times, and thats "not much happened?" as john mcenroe (and ed zalinsky) woudl say, "you cant be serious!!!" also, you may recall that throughout books 2 and 3 we hear people talk about all the different ways berics been killed and how hes totes dead but nobody knows for sure. cool, in hindsight.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: SO AWESOME that we've been hearing all along all the different ways Beric is said to have died, and its all TRUE, but he's still alive! SO COOL!!!!</span><br /><br />Next, Thoros leads them back to that high hill place where they again see the old woman. She is telling her dreams but this time notices Arya and make some comment about how she smells of death. She predicts a number of things. Something about a goat and then a feast with a woman with vipers in her hair (hmm...?? I can only think of Cersei cause she is such a biotch...) They learn that Catelyn has gone to the Twins to see her brother married. We learn possibly who Jon's mother is! She talks to beric's squire who says he was milk brothers b/c his wet-nurse was Jon's mother. Hmm....doesn't sound right. Then we learn that before he married Catelyn, Ned had fallen in love with Ashara but who committed suicide from a broken heart. If Ashara is Jon's mother then he is highborn yeah? They get to an inn and Arya stupidly storms off and gets caught by the Hound! NOoooo....<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: High Heart is the place with the old woman. Ok, so I've spent so much time reading this blog and noting that I think my brain is fried cause I'm so confused. haha. So I'm going to refer to our helper site to get my thoughts straight. First off, I'll help out by pasting the old woman's dreams: "She dreamed of the goat sitting alone and fevered in the hall of kings as the great dog descends on him, a wolf howling in grief in the rain, a clangor of horns and drums and the sad sound of a little bell, a maid at a feast with purple serpents in her hair, and the same maid slaying a giant in a castle built of snow. She senses Arya and tells her to come closer. She says Arya is a blood child and smells of death." Arya smells of death?! Whatchu talkin bout old lady!? Then we get to Arya finding out about Jon's mom!!! Even if his mom is high-born, he's still a Bastard, so it doesn't really change anything, since he's a Stark child already anyway. Anyway, I was also upset with Arya for running away again!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: since im in a helping spirit, i will note that when dreams are separated by punctuation marks called commas, which look like this: >>>> , <<<<><br /><br />Now here is where there is a huge NUT. NUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!! I will paste my gchat conversation as proof:<br /><br />Caryn: why am i sooooooooooooo tired<br />me: i'm sooo sleepy too and pissed b/c apparently the hound got away again tell J my nut is that he joins the outlaws cause he has no where else to go and despite being a jackass he saved sansa so deep down he could be good<br />Caryn: how much did you read last night?<br />me: none. i just read one more chapter now<br />Caryn: ah well keep reading :)<br /><br />Now the Hound doesn't join the outlaws. That's true but they cross this river and we learn he is riding to take Arya back to Catelyn so he can ransom her but also so that maybe Robb will reward him by taking him into his service. I think he is good deep down! Ha! Maybe Arya will finally get back to her family!!!!! I hope so!!!!!!!!!!!!! That deserve at least 60% nut credit!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I'm confused again, due to fried brain from this neverending blog lol. I just don't see the NUT in there! The "deep down he could be good" part? Cause if that's it, that's way less than 60%! The "NUT" attempt was that he'd join the outlaws!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: im feeling bad for lb, since he gets so few nuts. and the hound did save sansa. so he nutted that the hound saved sansa. that deserves credit, right? maybe the nut attempt is "maybe arya will get back to her family" - that sounds like its gotta be true, right? i dont see how it could be wrong...<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Having trouble following the JN notes here. Anyway I am very curious about Jon's mother!!!! Dreams:<br />Goat sitting alone and fevered in the hall of kings as the great dog descends on him = Vargo Hoat at Harrenhal with his fever from the festering wound from Brienne biting his eat as Gregor Clegane comes to murder him (or just chop off his hands and feet and watch him slobber)<br />Wolf Howling in Grief in the Rain: Arya crying with grief for her lost family members in those bad rainstorms?<br />Clangor of horns and drums and the sad sound of a little bell: The wildlings advancing on the wall? Dany in the slave city with a little bell in her hair?<br />Maid at a feast with purple serpents in her hair: Serpents? Sansa with the amethysts in her hairnet at Joffrey's wedding? <br />Maid slaying a giant in a castle built of snow: A girl slaying a giant at the Wall? Gilly? But it's the same made as the one at a feast with purple serpents in her hair... Hmmmmmmmm...</span></span></span></span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-78619456313497637292009-04-17T10:57:00.007-04:002009-09-03T15:20:38.862-04:00A Storm of Swords Entry 5Sorry I missed yesterday! I did not have a chance to Blog :'(. So tons of stuff for today. I'll do by Character, cause it's easier.<br /><br /><u>Jon</u>: Two chapters. In the first one, they're camped out by these caves right near the Wall preparing to go over on a mission. Jon "forces" himself to sleep with Ygritte to prove to them all that he isn't a spy. Shocker but he enjoys it and half the chapter is Jon and Ygritte going at it like Rabbits. Sad scene at some point where Jon goes to Ghost and tells him he cannot take him with because they are going to climb the wall and that he has to go to the Shadow Tower. I hope Ghost understands!!! Can't he just like strap Ghost to his back and climb!? Don't leave Ghost behind!!! A Stark (or Snow?) should not be without his direwolf!!!! Then more more Jon/Ygritte quality time in the cave. Ygritte is all experienced and telling Jon how he knows nothing and then Jon goes down on her...and she's all like silent and "No one has ever..." I have to be honest I find it awkward to read these parts on the subway. It was like when I read American Psycho on the subway. I kept on like looking around and seeing if people were looking at me...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: And here I thought they were going at it like direwolves. *Zing! Soooooooooo sad that Jon had to send Ghost away!!! I hate when any character is without his or her wolf. Lol to the porny chapter during your subway trip. Btw, nowadays I frequently say the phrase: "You know nothing, Justin Nash."</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: while i see how reading these chapters on the subway can be awkward, i, like GRRM, fail to see how it cna be ok for charactesr to have their faces melted, but not ok for a lil lovin'! great zinger babe! and, its true, i know nothing, and she tells me all the time!!! as for Jon and Ygritte, she's a redhead, and hte carpet matches the curtains, so who can blame him!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: LOL to "You know nothing, Justin Nash." A Stark should never be without his direwolf, BAD THINGS happen anytime a Stark is without their direwolf, Arya would be in WAYYY better shape if she'd been with Nymeria all this time.</span><br /><br /><u>Dany</u>: Really cool chapter here. She goes to purchase all the Unsullied even the ones who aren't' trained yet. The slave traders are hesitant to give her the untrained one but then....she sells them one of the dragons (Drogo) for all of them. I honestly at this point was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. So they give her that slave girl who translates as part of the bargain and funny moment when the slave girl realizes that Dany actually could understand Valyrian (sp?) We also learn that "valar morghulis" means "all men must die." Sooooo appropriate for Arya's prayers!!! So then Dany goes to make the exchange. She sort of half hands over the reins to Drogo who won't go to the slaver guy and she makes the guy say out loud that the Unsullied are hers. Then....all hell breaks loose. Dany tells the Unsullied to attack the traders and she gets Drogo to burn off the trader guys face! Such a gross image here of the guy's eyes melting! This was definitely foreshadowed when Dany asked Jorah why the Dothraki hadn't ever taken the city. Second bell on Dany's braid!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: As J would say, Dany totally pwnzed the shit out of those guys. I had the same reaction about Drogo! She can't sell him! She just cant!!! I loved when Missendei realizes she's talking to Dany in Valyrian and just goes "Oh" haha. Also so cool that she quizzes her on the Unsullied and finds out that if she were to ever sell them, they would have no problem attacking her, should their next leader order them to. Great foreshadowing for the later events of the chapter! I thought it was great and exciting and I totally didn't see it coming. She melted face - literally!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: one of hte best chapters in book. awesome suspense, action, and Dany badassness. cb totally thought she was gonna sell drogon. so did zero. i, on the other hand, knew better. loved her trixxyness with the languages, and the part where Missandei is like "oh" and dany is like "your name is oh?". the foreshadowing was great as cb said, dany askign the important questions for her own plans. another great part was when she was talkign ot hte troops after she took the whip, in high valyrian, there was like a one liner about one of the slavers, like "so and so turned around all of a sudde nand raelized she was speaking high valyrian" and its like you know hes realizing "oh f we are fuxxed." as for the importance of face melting, the verb "to melt face" is a common verb used in online gaming to denote slaughtering your opponent.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: DrogoN. Drogo was her husband, the dragon is DrogoN. Anyway I actually DID see this coming-- I KNEW that she would never really give up a dragon and I nutted that she would buy the slaves and then turn the slave army against the slavers and take Drogon back, AND I guessed she would free the slaves because she was so tormented about the slavery aspect, BUT I did not nut that she'd go on a crusade to flee every slave in the world. Who is zero, again? I totally knew she'd never sell Drogon. Dany is crafty enough to always find a way!!!</span><br /><br /><u>Sansa</u>: Sigh. She goes to try on her new dress with Cersei there. You gotta know something is up. And as they are done Cersei gives her a maiden cloak to where and Sansa realizes what is going on. They are taking her to marry Tyrion. NOOOOoooo. I suppose as far as Lannisters it could be worse. He is really gross looking but he has been a better person than the others. Sansa ends up going because fighting is not worth it. Joffrey gives her away as King in her father's place. Jack ass. He makes some comment about how he can still have her whenever he wants. I don't think Tyrion would allow this. She should go with Joff and like kill him or something. They have a sad looking wedding feast and then they go up to consummate the marriage. Sansa is like physically revolted by the sight of naked Tyrion. But *shock* Tyrion is the only one in this entire series who will not sleep with a 12 year old! He says they will wait.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Poor Sansa. And Poor Tyrion! I was surprised that Tyrion went through with it all, cause he didnt wan't to either really! But I guess he wants to make daddy happy. He's hoping for the best with Sansa since he has been nice to her in the past, but it's hard to Sansa to really equate the fact that he actually ISN'T as bad as the others. All she knows is that she's being forced to marry a hideous Lannister! Was sad when she refused to kneel down so Tyrion could reach her to put the cloak on her. That wasn't nice of her. Joff is a total JACKASS. I hate him!! At least Tyrion spared her from the Bedding process!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: great note on tyrion being hte only one not to sleep with 12 year olds. im sure this really raises him in lb's and rk's eyes lol. the rest is mostly covered, but its kinda sad sansa hates tyrion so much. he protected her a litlte from joff, but he just cant win. and sansa still aint that smart.<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: INTERESTINGLY, I think Sansa should have slept with Tyrion-- he was being so kind to her and gentle, she should have volunteered and been a little more willing. Now at least Tyrion will PROTECT her from Joffrey, who is the biggest douche ever. We know Tyrion's manhood is fine! It's like Sansa has somehow managed to stay so innocent and vulnerable throughout all this war and terribleness and cruelty, sheltered in the Red Keep while the wars rage, whereas her younger siblings have ALL had to really grow up and become adults, even the little ones like Bran and Arya, who have been on the run and hunted and really faced with war and cruelty and murder, and the worst Sansa has suffered is some cruelty from Joff and of course the loss of Ned and she thinks Bran and Rickon, but ALL the Starks have had to deal with that. I mean all she had to do was marry Tyrion Lannister. She's warm and fed and has a bed to sleep in every single night and fine gowns and silks to wear and no one is raping her or hunting her, and she really has it better off than any of her siblings. Robb is off waging war and battling, Jon is off Beyond the Wall in the freezing cold and the Frostfangs and there's wights and Others and wildlings and who knows what to contend with, Arya is constantly running and being hunted and hungry and dirty and starving and eating worms and witnessing torture and murdering people and dealing with things that an 8/9 year old just should not be and she doesn't even have her wolf with her, and Bran and Rickon saw their home destroyed and are on the run and supposed to be thought dead and then they have to split up so they're not even TOGETHER and Bran is a cripple and can't walk and they have to run and hide constantly and have nowhere to really go that's safe and are trying to go BEYOND the wall.... and pampered little Sansa stark is safe and warm and has a nice bed to sleep in every night, and now she's got a husband to protect her from douchebag Joffrey and some Tyrells to befriend and sew with and the Godswood, and yet she's so miserable and frigid, and she doesn't even know how good she has it! I mean granted Cersei is evil and she's not exactly safe there and is mostly a hostage, but once she's married to Tyrion she could at least be NICER to him and unmask her courtesy and ALLOW herself to find a FRIEND in him and trust someone and develop a bond, and seriously she should just sleep with him, he's her HUSBAND. Dany was her age when she was sold to Khal Drogo and slept with him and came to love him. Sansa is not half the woman Dany is!!!!</span><br /></span></span><br /><u>Tyrion</u>: Good transition because <em>everyone</em> knows that Tyrion has not consummated the marriage. He is embarrassed but upset that Sansa is still so depressed. Tyrion goes to scope out the damage from the battle as he is now master of coin so he has to fix everything. He then goes secretly to meet with the singer who Shae likes. The dude actually threatens him to tell people about Tyrion and Shae unless Tyrion gets him into the singing contest at Joffrey's wedding. Tyrion says he will but then goes back to Bronn and tells him to kill him. Tyrion is called to his fathers who has a sword of Valyrian steel made for Joffrey and one for Jaime (and none for Tyrion. what a Jackass!!!) He wants to know why Tyrion hasn't consummated the marriage. Tyrion won't talk to him about it. We learn that the Tyrell's have turned down the offer to marry Cersei to the cripple dude. ha! They won't tell her this. Then they have a discussion about how difficult it will be to pay for both the wedding in all its extravagance and the rebuilding of the city.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Nothing much to say about this, except I remember HATING Tywin in this chapter. Why does he always have to be so mean to Tyrion?!?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: the realm needs moneys! they need dwarves' pennies!!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Tywin is the BIGGEST dick and everyone is so mean to poor Tyrion!!! It's tough being master of the coin. I thought it was clever how Tyrion disposed of this singer!!!</span><br /><br /><u>Arya</u>: They go to this city where they see these people in cages who are being punished. Arya thinks they may be Stark people so she gives some of them water, which pisses off the townsfolk. The town is run by the Huntsman who is not there at the time. The Huntsman hates the Lannisters. They go to stay at this brothel. Awkward moment between Arya and Gendry when a prostitute tries to pick Gendry up and then Arya is like "I know what a brothel is!" and Gendry blushes. The chapter ends with the Huntsman arriving with a Lannister. People think it may be Jaime but it is someone else who Arya recognizes (presumably from her prayers.)<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Arya is totally her father's daughter, giving the captives water is a very noble thing to do! Ha, reading the recap of this chapter reminds me of a part you sort of left out. The prostitute that tries to pick up Gendry was talking about how she might be Robert's daughter, since he used to frequent the brothel. Then she tries to get with Gendry, who might be her half-brother!! Good thing he didn't want to!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: i cant believe we did not get ANY nut attempt at who it is from lb. poor form lb, poor form!!! you cant win what you dont bet! as for that brothel, is it the one where all the girls got their bells rung?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Is anyone else rooting for Arya and Gendry to hook up in a few years when Arya is older? I totally nutted it would be the Hound!!! I ALSO thought of that Caryn, about how Gendry and the prostitute could have been half brother and sister!!! Not that the Targaryens and Cersei/Jaime don't do the whole brother/sister incest thing, but ew!! And also when you're a bastard is sure is TOUGH to make sure you don't sleep with a relative!!! </span><br /><br /><u>Jaime</u>: The bloody mummers have cut off Jaime's right hand. The plan is I guess to send him part by part to the Lannisters until they pay. It's his sword hand and he is pissed and it is painful. Another chivalrous Jaime part when he saves Brienne from being raped by calling out Sapphires and this reminds Vargo (?) that she is worth money so he stops them from raping her for the "sapphireth." They also like hit him on his stump and he passes out. They get to Harrenhall and Brienne is shocked to hear that the Karstarks are no longer allied with the Starks. But Roose apparently doesn't like the way they are being treated so he gets Jaime treatment and releases Brienne.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JAIME LOST HIS HAND!!!!!!! Wasn't that the worst? I felt so bad for him. Those stupid bloody mummers!!!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: the mummers were cutting off jaime's hand to end last chapter, and lb TOTALLY failed to mention it in that blog lol. as for feeling bad for jaime, i assure you, cb did nto feel bad at all when it happened. i remember her being kind of thrilled. as for lb, i believe this is a "hope" come true, only jaime has lost his hand, and not his you know whatsits, as per a recent blog.</span><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Excuse you! I was NOT thrilled about Jaime's hand. I may not have been his biggest fan, but I do not support decapitation in any way!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I was also sad for Jaime when he lost his hand! I'd cheer if Cersei or Tywin lost a hand though. I am glad you do not support decapitation Caryn, but I think what Jaime suffered would be called demanication, which I also do not support... Poor Ned was the one who suffered decapitation, which I concur that I am also against. It's amazing how many times Jaime has saved Brienne from being raped!!!</span><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" ></span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-75327131524217166432009-04-15T21:35:00.006-04:002009-04-16T11:35:25.072-04:00LOST April 151:00 - little Miles is one freaky kid. i dun see why they didnt get haley joel osmont to play him.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: That would be a good idea!</span><br /><br />2:00 - cb is the greatest gf ever. she let me wow with zero tonite!!! /hug<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I AM the greatest gf ever...and don't you forget it!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Lol, Caryn, you're such an enabler!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Well the hidden truth is that I don't get much of a choice as to if he actually plays or not. But I'm the "greatest gf ever" if I don't complain about it. </span><br /><br />3:00 - lol at the Circle of Trust. sounds naughty.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I feel like I've heard this before....thanks to google, I figured it out: Meet the Parents!<br /></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" ><blockquote><span style="font-size:85%;">Jack: But the fact is, Greg, with the knowledge you've been given, you are now on the inside of what I like to call...

I'm so glad we're getting a Miles-centric episode.</span><br /></span><br />6:00 - great idea by miles to figure out what really happened to the guy who got shot in the head by the ditch! sadly, i didnt nut that :(<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Miles talking to dead people isn't a nut anyway...but you still should be ashamed you didn't realize he'd do it...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Major shame points for Justin not realizing Miles could talk to the dead guy! So, he talked to the dead guy, and his filling came out of his mouth and went through his head and killed him. SO CLEARLY MAGNETIC FORCES FROM SOMEWHERE ON THE ISLAND killed him! Aka the magnetism yanked out his filling with so much force it went up into his brain and killed him!!!! We know the island is full of mysterious crazy magnetic fields, sucks for people with iron fillings! Too bad back in the day they didn't have those pretty porcelain fillings you can get nowadays. I digress...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Yes! I had forgotten about this while noting, but thought it was pretty cool during the show. That crazy island magnetism!!</span><br /><br />7:00 - teenage miles totally looks like he plays world of warcraft...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I don't think so. He's not a nerd, he's punk!</span><br /><br />8:00 - mom wont talk to miles about his father! it must be dr hanso!!! and hes dead! howd he die?!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Dr. Chang. Hanso was behind the Hanso Foundation who financed DHARMA. Btw, did anyone else notice that when Miles mom was presumably dying, besides the loss of hair, she looked pretty good, like pretty young and non-wrinkly? </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Yay! Caryn nutted this like 88 years ago btw! I tried to nut it on the March 18th Lost blog, but actually Caryn pre-nutted me about this on February 4th! Go Caryn.</span><br /><br />9:00 - horace is sending the dead body to the orchid!!! to dr chang! is dr chang dr hanso? whose the guy who is always on the dharma tapes that locke watches. thats the guy im talkin about.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: See above. Chang was on all the DHARMA tapes, using pseudonyms Dr. Marvin Candle, Dr. Mark Wickmund and Dr. Edgar Halliwax.</span><br /><br />10:00 - what's hurley writing in that notebook! something important, or funny?<br /><br />11:00 - i dont think hurley talks to dead people the way miles does.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I don't think so either babe! Hurley just talks to specific dead people, like Charlie! :)<br /></span><br />12:00 - i think miles is just making this stuff up with this guy who is paying him in the past, bc miles needs the body i thought, or the place where it happened.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I hope you don't think that obvious observation can be counted as a nut!</span><br /><br />13:00 - hey, its naomi! shes about to recruit miles to send him to the island!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Also not a nut considering we know that she does this :)</span><br /><br />14:00 - im so over roger acting emo over ben. roger was the meantest dad ever!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Ugh, seriously. Roger is the WORST. I can't stand scenes with him. He's SO EMO. It's like I'm watching J and someone shot his video game and then stole it and he can't find it anymore.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: lol</span><br /></span><br />15:00 - lol at kate's feeling. good one kate. great nut.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I don't see why Roger had to get all weird about it. That's just the sort of thing people say in a tough situation. "I'm sure he'll be fine!"</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Honestly! Kate was just like being a normal compassionate person and Roger got all unnecessarily suspicious over it!</span><br /><br />16:00 - hurley and miles once again have the best dialogue.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I LOVE Chef Hurley and his enthusiasm and the seriousness with which he takes his chef role. I still want to know what kind of dipping sauces best bring out the ham.</span><br /><br />17:00 - omg hurley you are the DUMBEST!!! L2keepyourmouthshut.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Lol. "I won't tell anyone about the body in the back!"</span><br /><br />18:00 - hydra island! thats the name of the other little islands. and the doc didnt seem to think the experiments over there were very useful (going on about weighing turds and all)<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: That's where the plane crash landed in the future, and that's where the cages are where Sawyer and Kate were held! And I guess that's where they have polar bears they're experimenting with and possibly sending through time to Tunisia and apparently weighing their turds has something to do with the study!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: True, we knew that those cages where they kept Kate and Sawyer were where they had kept the polar bears! Remember when Sawyer had to figure out the correct sequence to push certain big buttons in the cage to get food? And then Tom commented about how it only took the polar bears 2 hours to figure it out. lol. </span><br /><br />19:00 - and lol hurley called him a douche.<br /><br />20:00 - and quadruple omg bc that douche is miles' dad!!!!! soudns like a nut for somebody from weeks ago. was it cb? kurth of flowers? or did you two read it on other websites?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I hope you're not surprised about this development babe! I wish I could take credit, but I actually accidentally read it on Eonline (as a possible thought/guess, not a confirmed spoiler) but as soon as I read it I thought it was brilliant and I believe I shared it with all of you :)<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: AWWWW I really thought Caryn nutted it as an original CB nut (see above!) I tried to originally nut it on March 18th but I probably already had the idea in my head from Caryn's February 4th blog so I don't think it counts. Either way I was super confident this was the case and was not surprised to see it confirmed.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CB Note: Unlike J, I don't take full credit for nuts that aren't my own! ;)</span><br /></span></span><br />21:00 - all i know is that i nutted it myself earlier this episode. so gg no re!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Um no. We knew this already. Shut it.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Nut: Omg no WAY justin, you already clearly had read it in the February 4th and March 18th blogs from me and Caryn!</span><br /><br />22:00 - who is naomi having miles check?! a delivery to widmore?! whoa, its a dude who apparently discovered that widmore and/or ben lied about the flight 815 plane crash and got killed for it.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Digging up empty graves and buying old airplanes, CREEPINESS!!!!!</span><br /><br />23:00 - "3rd day we were here i was in line in the cafeteria and my mother got in line behind me." - one liner of the season, hands down.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: That was super lol. Awesome.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: SO AWESOME. Also Miles might want to have spent the past 3 years at least cherishing time with his mom who it seems like might be dead in the future and getting to know daddy and seeing how his parents were when they were first married since he never knew his dad, how is that not FASCINATING to him??!!?!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Agreed! Can't believe he spent 3 years not really interacting with them. </span><br /><br />24:00 - im enjoying how bens dad is a total dbag, now to jack, kicking mopwater like a real tuff guy.<br /><br />25:00 - lol hurley trying ot be all mr smooth with the doc and miles.<br /><br />26:00 - a fake fense into a "worksite". what is it forrrrrrr? the swan? i bet its for the swan aka the hatch.<br /><br />27:00 - NUTTED IT.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: A good nut!! Credit given. </span><br /><br />28:00 - and they threw in the numbers for good measure.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: At least they haven't forgotten the numbers, I can't wait to learn how this is explained!!!!</span><br /><br />29:00 - cb has nutted that this mysterious guy in the van was working with the bounty hunter who apprehended sayid, bc last week he asked on the island about the shadow of the statue. well done babe. i ahd noe idea who this duder was.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: So who ARE these people? They're clearly anti-Widmore, but I can't decide if they're with Ben or if they're a whole separate thing? Are they like related to ancient secrets going way back when to when the statute was on the island? (which it my head is like thousands of years ago even though we have no evidence to clearly tell us what timeframe it was for real). What DOES lie in the shadow of the statue? And who are these peeps?!?!?! Are they with Eloise? With Ben? With themselves?</span><br /><br />30:00 - btw, this guy is working against widmore it seems (he doesnt want miels to go help widmore). but, he must not be working for ben, bc he woulda known who ben was on the flight and when it crashed. so, who is he working for?!?!?!?!?!??!?! although, he did help get sayid on the plane, and ben wanted that. so maybe he is working for ben, but just doesnt know who ben himself is. very tricky.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: THIS IS CRAZY!!! So, this guy and Ilana and whoever else, were on the plane and also knew it would go to the island!!! It's a war!!! Widmore vs Ben? Who else would it be? Is there a 3rd party??? </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: See my wondering above, I have no idea!!!</span><br /><br />31:00 - CHEWBACCA!!!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I laughed SO SO SO hard at Hurley writing the Empire Strikes Back to send to George Lucas and the whole star wars substory, Hurley is HILARIOUS</span><br /><br />32:00 - i bet this "development" is about the security tape that got left out.<br /><br />33:00 - NUT.<br /><br />34:00 - things are spinnin' out of control for lafleur!<br /><br />35:00 - "and we got the ewoks". great hurley monologue on star wars and the perils of not making up with your parents, lest you end up like luke and darth vader. im just impressed they didnt make any disaparaging comments about eps 1-3.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Would have been funny though if they mentioned how they didn't know what happened in ep 3, since it came out post-crash! :) Though I'm all for ignoring those 3 movies and pretending they never happened.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I liked episodes 2 and 3, but not 1! I love Nabu and think it's the most beautiful planet in the whole galaxy. Also why did Hurley say the ewoks suck? I love the ewoks!!!! Dave has the Ewok Treehouse.</span><br /><br />36:00 - scientists from ann arbor?! who are they? what are they here for? i got nuttin... i mean, nothin'.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: SO I was nutting that Chang was going to walk down to the sub to get the scientists and the scientists were going to like force Chang into a submarine and force him off the island and that would LEAD Miles' mom to think he left in the middle of the night without a word when Miles was a baby but REALLY it was totally against Chang's will and the whole thing is super tragic, because Chang was SUCH A CUTE DAD reading to baby Miles and omg Miles was the cutest little baby I just wanted to eat him up and put him in a onesie and snuggle him forever and ever. Anyway I am still holding out future nuttability that this will happen at the beginning of the next ep or in a future ep!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: LOL at your comments. I totally agree tho. And I am sure there is more to Chang leaving them then what Miles assumes (him just being a douche). He was super cute with baby Miles. Something fishy is definitely going to happen to him. </span><br /><br />37:00 - that totes soudned like... FARADAY IN THE HIZZOUSE!!!! how did faraday get off the island?!?!?! glad to have him back. hes the bestest.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Um...did the blog just END and you have it as 37:00?? Could you try any less with this blog??? Seriously!!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: So I guess Faraday either never left 1977 but just went back to America to Ann Arbor for a bit, OR he time traveled and got BACK to 1977 and is now back? I am guessing he never left 1977 but just left the Island. As to how Faraday got off the island, I'm gonna guess he took the same submarine he returned on!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CB Note: Agreed. </span><br /></span></span>Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16312656600255942016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-12776809493712612702009-04-15T10:43:00.006-04:002009-09-03T14:46:40.617-04:00A Storm of Swords Entry 4More bad news from Riverrun. The Karstarks are realllllly pissed at Robb for not punishing Catelyn for letting the Kingslayer free. He killed Lord ???s two sons. Robb is faced with the bodies of a Lannister and and a Frey who were taken captive at that battle where they took Jaime. The Karstarks broke into the prison and killed them (unarmed) for revenge. Robb notes at some point how silly this is b/c they didn't kill the sons but Lord ??? Karstark is so pissed he doesn't care. Robb ends up executing him as a traitor. Losing the Karstarks is nooooo good. Also we learn that Lord ??? Karstark promised his daughter and title to anyone who brings Kingslayer's head so now there is gonna be a tonnnn of people hunting Brienne.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Lord ??? is Rickard Karstark. He was super pissed about the whole Jaime thing, since he had killed his sons. Also, don't Catelyn and Jeyne have an awkward convo at the end of this chapter?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: what's this about an awkward conversation? as for hte Karstarks, this is totes a bummer for Robb. being King in the North is hard, yo!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Is this where Jeyne wants to know how to comfort Robb and wants advice from his lady mother? Or a different awkward convo? They discuss making a baby?</span><br /><br />Speaking of, next is a Jaime chapter. He has some thoughts about how he will send Sansa back if only to defy everyone's expectations and this would amuse him. They stop in a village and are chased by some archers. Oddly sexual scene where Jaime and Brienne do this whole swordfight thing, which ends in Brienne winning and trying to get Jaime to yield (and him pissed that he lost). And then....NOOooo they are caught by the Bloody Mummers. Jaime thinks this is great at first b/c they are (were) his dad's men. Then he finds out they sold out Harrenhal to the Starks. So they take him captive with Brienne to ransom Jaime. They threaten to rape Brienne and Jaime somewhat gallantly tells them that she is highborn and worth a lot of money. Someone's gonna have to be super trixxy to get them out of this situation!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Damn those bloody mummers!!!! Stupid Brienne and Jaime should have been on their way instead of wasting so much time fighting and making so much noise! Jaime was gallant when he protected Brienne - is there a softer side of the Kingslayer? Also, I think you left out a liiiiiittle important bit of info that happens at the end of this chapter...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: i enjoyed the fight between jaime and Brienne, but i dotn remember it being sexual, which is surprising, knowing me and all. as for the Bloody Mummer and that evil Vargo Hoat, ohnoes brienne! cb, stop trying to make lb like jaime, he's evil. i hoep he gets what's coming to him, or that he gets dealt a bad hand, if you know what i mean... </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: The capture by the Brave Companions is really all Jaime's fault for trying to run off on Brienne and them wasting time loudly fighting!! But Jaime does show his soft side when he tries to make them think there are sapphires on Tarth. And yeah way to not mention Jaime getting his HAND CHOPPED OFF!!! Damn that Vargo Hoat... Lol to Jaime getting dealt a bad hand. I kind of like Jaime!!! He shows a much softer side!!</span><br /><br />Next to Arya. They are riding about trying to find Beric and Thoros who apparently operate much like a modern terrorist organization by having small cells who dont' know where the leader is....They see a bunch of people including the Lady of the Leaves who reminds me of the elves in LOTR cause they live in trees. They stop at this high hill place that was sacred to the children of the forest and Arya wakes up to a storm and heres this old creepy woman talking to Lem about her dream. It's something about a burning heart butchering a Stag and a drowned crow. Stag is Baratheon. Burning heart? Drowned crow? I hope the drowned crow isn't Bran or Jon. They then go to this one lord's house and when the lady realizes Arya is highborn she makes her like bath and dress all pretty and Arya is pissed. I lol'd here. She tells them where to find Beric. Hilarious scene where Gendry and Arya have this awkwardly sexual fight scene rolling around in the mud.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Haha I lovvvved when that woman tried to make Arya bathe and wear a dress. So funny!! Then she messes it up when fighting with Gendry and she has to do it all over again. Oh Arya! Nice parallel with the terrorist org. lol. I think J will tell you that you should always pay extra attention to anyone's dreams! Especially old women in the forest, cause if anyone would have a prophecy, I think it'd be them.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: its true, cb loves when arya is being tomboyish. as for the Ghost of High Heart and her dreams (i wonder what color they are), i would say, "it goes without saying," except that based on your recounting of last book's House of the Undying chapter, and of this chapter, it obviously doesnt go without saying, so: The astute squirrel reads dreams by creepy old women who live in trees full of nuts closely. Because what's written in thei blog.... its totes a mess! </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: LOL to terrorist cell analogy and LOTR. Maybe I need to go back and re-read the House of the Undying chapter.... all these dreams are so cryptic!<br /></span><br />To Dany who is trying to buy some Unsullied. Funny scene with her and the slave trader who thinks she doesn't understand Valyrian and is speaking through a translator. He keeps lying and saying like "Tell the stupid whore that..." Very good bargaining technique on Dany's part. She is super upset by the way the Unsullied are trained. They are eunuchs and are given some drug to not feel pain. They have all these terrible rituals like being forced to kill a newborn baby. They are given a puppy for a year and then they have to strangle it! Horrible. Dany is pissed at Jorah for kissing her and taking her to this place and she basically yells at him but then says she is gonna buy the Unsullied b/c she needs an army.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Haha, I loved when Dany pretended not to understand what they were saying! The Unsullied training is definitely scary sounding. But I suppose it does make for a good army</span>.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: great chapter, fo sho. Love that dany! terrific bargaining and negotiating tactic. i wonder if high priced lawyers like lb do that. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: The Unsulled Training is SO SAD. Killing puppies and infants? HORRIBLE!!!! Love Dany though!!!</span><br /><br />To Bran who is walking up with Jojen Meera and Hodor ("Hodor!") They stay one night in a cave with some dude who gives them food and complains about how things were better with the Starks. They are walking and Meera starts telling them a story about this person from the Neck who travels to this tourney. He is attacked by three squires (porcupine, two towers (frey?) and pitchfork). He is taken in by a young wolf (Starks) and then he prays to the gods and a mysterious knight comes and defeats all three of the squires. Jojen keeps on saying "didn't your father ever tell you this story?" which makes me think it was actually a story involving Eddard himself and his generation. Unless this is significant later, please clarify.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: OMG This is one of my favorites!!! I love Meera's story, so ripe for the nutting. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: (cue broken record) It goes without saying that... anyway, i am impressed that you managed to determine that PERHAPS this story is important, based on the fact that meera and jojen asked bran 3,506,218 times if Ned had ever told it. I hereby revoke your squirrel privileges, and deem you a chipmunk. All that said, you can try to figure out some more about it now, or just tab it and come back to read more later.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: AHHHh I want to know the importance! I also guessed it was important and involved Ned from Meera and Jojen assuming he had told Bran the story before, but I need to go back and reread to figure out what's going on there!</span><br /><br />Davos beneath Dragonstone is being kept in a hot cell. He isn't being treated too badly. He is being fed and they nursed him through his sickness. He gets a creepy visit from Melisandre who threatens to take away his torch. She talks about a prophecy of her God's prophet or whatever being reborn with a red burning star in smoke and salt and birthing dragons. She thinks this is Stannis b/c Dragonstone is salt and smoke but methinks it's actually Dany...Next few days Stannis's hand (his wife's uncle) is thrown in for trying to write to Tywin to offer a peace. Davos knows that Stannis woudl never have approved this peace and he essentially says he will fight for Stannis regardless of how foolish. Sigh.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Notes: Yea, I call shenanigans on Melisandre. She just sees what she wants to see in those flames of hers! Methinks she's a bit kookoo for cocoa puffs.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: every time cb calls shenanigens it makes me chuckle. however, i would not dare call shenanigens on melisandre. in fact, im making cb sleep on the couch tonite. she might be in the dungeons next, liek davos!<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: She's definitely seeing real things in the flames, but I think she's misinterpreting-- I think it's Dany she sees! These Flames are tough to read but they definitely DO show things!!! This R'Hllor has got me wondering if I should convert to worshipping the Red God....</span><br /></span></span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-56694186139482918992009-04-14T10:10:00.006-04:002009-09-03T14:27:19.162-04:00A Storm of Swords Entry 3Sadly I only read two chapters because of the New Jersey bar CLE crap. Sigh.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Just another reason to hate NJ!!!!!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: can you guys make sure i dont forget to do my CLE and get disbarred?</span><br /><br />Samwise Gamgee, errr, Sam is running away from the fist. He recounts what has happened. Basically, they were attacked by wights on the fist, hundreds and hundreds of them. Sam had been told by Mormont that if they were attacked he was to immediately go and send off ravens with word. He goes to do so but apparently has forgotten to give the ravens the messages. Oh Sam. At some point Sam collapses and falls over and that simple giant dude carries him. Dude is so dumb. He keeps on saying that he wants Sam to give him a raven. When they finally stop, Sam, simple dude, and Grenn (?), they have lost the rest of the party and all of a sudden are attacked by one of the Others. Now i'm confused here because I dont' know what the difference is between wights and the others. Apparently they are different. Don't clarify if this will be sorted out later. Sam stands aside but then charges and stabs one of the Others with the dragonglass and the other dude dies. Apparently dragonglass is Other-cryptonite. Go Sam!!! You ain't no craven!!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I loved this chapter. Even how it was written. I don't remember the exact line, but it kept repeating something like "Sam takes another step." I don't know, I liked it haha. Small Paul is the simple dude who carries Sam. Hmm, Others versus Wights. I'm kind of unsure about this as well. I'm about to paste their descriptions from the super site we use...so if you don't want to read, skip ahead! Wights are an undead creature with black hands and burning bright blue eyes. That's like the guy who attacked Mormont back at the wall and Jon fought and killed and caused his hand to be injured. Others are a strange race of creatures that live in the Far North. They are tall and gaunt, with pale flesh and deep blue eyes. I guess this means that they are different things. Right? Right?? lol.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: see my email re the distinction between Others and wights. as for Sam, thank rh'llor he slayed that Other!!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Small Paul!! Sam isn't such a craven after all!!! AWESOME to finally figure out the use for Dragonglass! Seems we could use quite a lot of that right about now!!! I think it was like "<span style="font-style: italic;">Just one more step. One foot in front of the other. Just one more step...</span>" and then he kept taking more steps to keep going. Now I tried to sort out others vs. wights in my A Storm of Swords Entry 1 notes earlier, and my impression was DIFFERENT from the one Caryn just shared! So I guess I was wrong!! Can someone forward me this e-mail from Justin on the distinction between Others and Wights? Thanks!!!</span><br /><br />To Tyrion meeting with the counsel. Lotsa revelations, but here are the conclusions:<br /><br />1- Lannisters have caught wind of the plan to have Sansa marry cripple-Tyrell. Tywin is not amused by this and....he wants Cersei to marry him. Cersei is much less than amused. Tyrion finds this highly amusing but wonders what Jaime will do when he finds out. Silly Tywin, Cersei only sleeps with relatives...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Hahahhaahahaha. She's a ho.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: great comeuppance. she totes deserves the cripple. maybe itll do her good! </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Cersei is a damn slut, I hope they marry her off to someone terrible and more powerful than her.</span><br /><br />2- Littlefinger is to go to the Eyrie to try and seduce whatsherface, Catelyn's sister. If he can marry her and bring her as a Lannister ally this will be a big blow to the Starks. This was obviously Littlefinger's goal all along. He was slighted by the Starks because they wouldn't let him marry Catelyn. He wasn't highborn enough. But now that he has Harrenhal he can. This would be a huuuuuuuuge personal victory for him. I hope it doesn't work out!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: That would be......CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY LYSAAAAAAAAAA. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: sometimes cb and i just say "craaaaazy lysaaaa" to eachother at random times and start laughing. oh lysa, you so crazy girl! as for Littlefinger, great job by him, he sure is good at this game of throneses!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Lol!!! It's a tough journey up to the Eyrie, I keep wondering whether we're going to see it again soon, and whether that goat bastard girl will become important like I thought from book 1!!!!</span><br /><br />3- The worst thing ever EVER EVER. Tywin wants Tyrion to marry Sansa. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. First of all, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Second of all, this is just horrible for Sansa. I hope what's his face fool-night can forgive her and get her out before she has to marry the imp!!!!! EWWWWWWWWWWW. Tywin tells everyone about Robb's marriage and if Tyrion does marry Sansa he can lay claim to Winterfell. As I mentioned to CB, I audibly gasped as I read this on the subway.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Everyone in unison, let's throw out books at Justin!!! That's what I do when I'm unhappy with an event in the book.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: this was absolutely one of those "im gonna stop reading moments" for cb, and i had to insist she keep going, while at the same time i obvi couldnt tell her nuttin about about sansa and tyrion's future of wedded bliss. Sansa needs to get out of Kings Landing asap. its like i said, she cant seem to escape these lannisters! (great nut by me).<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I can't believe you want to STOP reading when the twists in the book happen, that's what rivets me so I can't stop reading at all! Anyway I think Sansa could do worse! Tyrion is a decent guy, he's witty and gentle and clever and he means well, and Shae seems to like him well and good. He's a better catch than cruel Joffrey! Sansa should be nicer to Tyrion!!</span><br /></span></span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-81073997964381652952009-04-13T14:56:00.007-04:002009-09-03T14:17:28.947-04:00A Storm of Swords Entry 2Start with Bran in the forest with Jojen etc. He is in the midst of a wolf dream and is climbing and jumping and such. Poor guy will never be able to do that! When he wakes him up Jojen is all concerned b/c he thinks Bran is getting too entangled in his wolf dreams. He keeps on telling Bran to mark a tree in his dream which I think is hillarious, but it makes sense b/c then Bran would be in control. They decide instead of staying there they are going to go find the three eyed crow above the wall who can teach Bran how to master his gift. [Thinking this refers to someone in the Night Watch b/c the people north fo the wall call them "crows"...]<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Or does it refer to that 3 eyed crow that was always peckin' at his face in Book 1? Re marking trees, he shoudl make water like arya used to.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: A different kind of tree marking baby. </span><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >Anyway, as much as I love Bran, he annoyed me during this time. Just wanting to live in Summer. I get that he likes being able to walk and run and prey. But he needs to listen to Jojen and Meera! They're smart!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: awww Bran is just a poor little kid with no family to protect him, on the run and in hiding and everyone thinks he's dead, and he's crippled and can't walk... I don't blame him for just wanting to live in Summer! </span><br /><br />Davos returns to Dragonstone and everything has changed. He eats with Salladhor Saan who tellls him that Stannis will see no one except for Melisandre! He also finds out that one of his sons is a live. Davos is resolved to go and kill Melisandre (wooo) and he goes to do so but is arrested by the Queen's guards !!!! Ruh roh.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: ohnoes, that sneaky Melisandre! somebody's gotta stop her! didn't you hope last blog that davos would try to kill her? that made me lol i think.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: How did she knowwwwww?! Evil magic woman. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: But more proof that she DOES know things and DOES have power. Is her magic evil, or is R'Hllor good and mighty and powerful after all? I can't decide!!!</span><br /><br />Interesting Jaime chapter next. They stop at the ale house where the Stark guy kneeled to the Targyniananana (?) and trade their ship for some horses and supplies. They head south. Brienne, being kick ass, realizes it is a trap to get hte horses back so she takes a different route. Jaime is kinda impressed. We get an intersting dream where he remembers how/when he killed the previous king. Apparently he joined the King's Guard b/c Cersei had been sent to King's Landing but then as soon as he got there she was sent away. Also, oddly enough, he killed the king but didn't seem to want to take the thrown for himself. This seems to show at least some level of self control.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Targaryen*. L2SpellThronePlease. and, ooooh at this Kingslayer history stuff. To think, he joined the Kingsguard just to be with Cersei. Oh, the things we do for love...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Nice one babe. So LB, after your second Jaime chapter, what are your thoughts about him? Still want him to die?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Loving Jaime!!! He really LOVES Cersei, which is SICK and CREEPY yet somehow sweet, except Cersei is so evil, or so it SEEMS, maybe one day we'll see things from her perspective and it will change. But it seems like he only killed Aerys for the good of the realm because he had gone MAD and was doing cruel evil things and wanted to burn the city! So Jaime isn't so brute and cold after all, it seems!! Also SO CLEVER of Brienne to realize those were outlaws and they were going to steal the horses back! She's good!!!</span><br /><br />Sillly sillllllly Tyrion goes to Varys and gets him to bring Shae to his chambers "one last time" (famous last words). It's really sad that the only people who he finds to love him are people he has to pay. Even though Shae seems sincere, she is still all "can I have my jewels and gowns." They do it on Varys's floor and he seems to promise her he'll see her again. Silly silly tyrion. Also he discovers Vary's secret stairway below the bed. Shae tells him that she had still been speakign to that singer dude who is going to be at Joffrey's weddign and she wants to go with. Tyrion is concerned abuot this singer. I hope he's not one of Cersei's spies! (Or worse, Tywin's)<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: oh tyrion, always thinking with his little dwarf :(</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Lol, that was funny baby. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: LOL. Shae seems sincere but she also is very into the jewels and silks and attending fancy galas and such. Tyrion might get her hanged!</span><br /><br />Doing two Arya chapters here: Arya and her gang arrive at the same inn that Brienne and Jaime went to. They pick up these three outlaw folk people on the way. they are about to sit down and eat when soldiers come up. One of them is Gendry and she (forgetting herself I guess) runs up to him and yells his name and he recognizes her. I guess she thinks he's one of her dad's men and he'll help her. When they leave Hot Pie stays at the inn to bake for them. Arya keeps on wondering why they are going south instead of north and finally she asks and Gendry tells her how he left and joined Thoros's (?) gang. He is apparently taking Arya to Thoros not to Riverrun. Ugh. I let out an audible groan on the train at this point. Goddamn it she is so close!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: No, Gendry is the Bull, and Robert's Bastard, who arya has been traveling with. The one in the band she recognized was Harwin, who used to be a horsemaster at Winterfell, and was sent with Beric Dondarrion's group to go arrest the Mountain that Rides back in Book 1 (see today's RK Notes AGOT blog). So, arya is excited, bc she finally found somebody who is a loyal stark and will recognize her! cb was totes mcgoats excited!!! and then, a chapter later... OUCH. totally foiled! Love it. i wonder what the people next to you on the train thought.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Yea, its true. I think I did a little happy dance at the end of the first chapter, but was SOOOOOOOOOOO sad at the end of the second. She tried to run away but they caught up with her. Sigh. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Yeah LB you mean HARWIN, not Gendry. Ooh a reference to RK notes, how exciting!! Loyalties change so quickly in this game of thrones!! </span><br /><br />Big news in the Catelyn chapter! She hears dogs barking b/c Robb has returned and they are scared of Grey wind. Robb has become quite the trixy one! He tells Catelyn how he forgives her because she did what she did out of love. After that he announces that he is married to some chick (forgetting her name). This totally boxes in because he just forgave her for doing something for love. This is also very bad because the Freys are gonna be pissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssed. I just hope this doesn't screw them in the long run. Also, I'm very upset with how Robb is treating his direwolf. Apparently his wife is scared of him and so he didn't bring him into the great hall. Robb is a Stark. He's the young wolf! He should know better! I'd never treat Pokey like that!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Jeyne Westerling. and, love how robb wtfpwned catelyn on the who doing things for love things. in fact, it reminds me of something i wrote just above... I agree, id never make any of our little stuffed animals, or Patches P Mo (our future direwolf) wait outside. as for hte Freys... ruh roh!! But hey, lets congratulate Robb for gettin married, and finalyl gettin' some you know what!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Baby, Patches is my direwolf! Get (and name) your own! Direwolves should always be with their Stark!! </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I want a little direwolf pup too! Who's Pokey? Robb is such a DOLT for marrying Jeyne, he's screwing EVERYTHING up, and just for her HONOR? Psha. </span><br /><br />Jon is walking along looking at the Giants when stupid bones dude comes by and attacks him with his hawk. They bring Jon to the fist, where Mance is waiting. Jon sees all of these dead Night Watch people and horses and is afraid as to what happened. Mance is pissed b/c Jon had lied about how many there were. He tells them that there were 300. A few funny scenes about how Ygritte tries to all snuggle up with him at night and he gets Ghost to sleep in between them. BUT at the end of the chapter, to get Mance to believe them, Ygritte tells him that she is doing the horizontal hokey pokey with Jon. Woooo wooooooo. They haven't done anything yet but the chapter ends with her saying something like "Find another place for Ghost to sleep"<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: some nites, when i feel like sticking my left foot in and shaking it all about, i send Patches P Mo to find someplace else to sleep...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: No comment to that! </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Ygritte is something else! I LOL at her "You know nothing, Jon Snow!" comments. </span><br /><br />Sansa Sansa, when will you learn. She has been given a new dress and all sorts of things presumably at the wish of Maergery and Granny. I won't say much about the chapter because not much happened but she sees her fool knight in the godswood and tells him she does <em>not</em> want him to help her escape because Granny is going to send her to Highgarden to be married. Sansa needs to learn that everything comes with a price. Granny is obviously doing this for her own benefit (as fool knight points out, Sansa is heir to winterfell now that Bran and Rickon are purportedly dead). Perhaps they will find out that Bran and Rickon are alive and Granny will revoke her offer. Sigh. I hope she doesn't burn her bridges with fool knight!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: the first 6 words of this paragraph made me lol for real. As for the rest, sansa is in a tough situation, she just wants to get out of there as quick as possible. anything would be better than spending her life with the Lannisters!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: True, she's gotta get out! But Dantos has been with her for awhile now and he owes her his life! That seems more trustworthy than these new Tyrells she's just met!<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I don't know about that Ser Dontos, he seems such a drunken fool!! Sansa needs to get OUTTA there. It seems like those Tyrell girls make nice new friends for her, too... Also why does the eldest crippled Tyrell even need Winterfell, he's heir to Highgarden!</span><br /></span></span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-89361208762067253222009-04-12T17:20:00.013-04:002009-04-17T15:01:12.756-04:003 Weeks Worth of Heroes!<span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >I bet you're all pumped for this! CB Notes the past 3 episodes of Heroes!</span><br /><div><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: YAYYYYYYY. Made my day.</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >1:00 Really intricate artsy shots of bad guy whatshisface shaving. And he apparently has a security alarm that tells him when his front door opens. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: Apparently he is super creepy. Also I wonder if he ever finished shaving...</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >1:30 It's the puppet guy!! He's all puppeted up. I can't really remember where we last saw him. I think Claire and her mom refused to help him.</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: NOT sad he is dead!!</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: This is correct. He is creepy and I'm kinda glad he got caught.</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: He was super creepy, but also had a cool ability. I wouldn't have minded to see him become good with Clairebear's help, but alas, it wasn't to be! I will say however, that before I remembered that Claire refused to help him, I thought maybe it was a trick to get Danko! That woulda been cool.</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >2:00 Puppet-guy gasps but then falls back to sleep. </span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >2:30 Traffic in the rain. HRG has lil toilet paper thingies over his shaving cuts. 1. Who does that and leaves it on his face when he goes outside? and 2. those would totally come off in the rain - he didnt even have an umbrella!</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: Sometimes you cut yourself shaving and it won't stop bleeding and you gotta run!</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >3:00 Angela "Make him trust you" that'll be easy. She suggests giving him "one of us." Perhaps the puppeteer. They're talking about rebel like he's important and they know all about him. </span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >5:00 Danko and Mohinder walk into a room filled with people with IVs in them. I semi-forget how Mohinder was captured. And Daphne is there too. Mohinder wants to get her some help. Danko just tricked him into coming into the room instead of having to carry him. Seems unnecessary to me!</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: This was SOOOO STUPID. Why did he go there with them? I do not understand. Isn't he supposed to be a super smart scientist. After this many seasons hasn't he learned to not trust people!</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I also do not understand at all why this happened. Why did Mohinder think that Danko just wanted him for his brain? This was just a weak tool to show us the new facilities of where they're keeping the heroes. Btw, is there such a medicine that when hooked up to people keeps them completely asleep and docile but when removed IMMEDIATELY wears off so that they can run away and fight back?</span> </div><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: That is soooo true. Why would they just wake up straight away!</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: Great point! Not plausible!</span><br /><div><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >10:00 "I'm smarter than the average bear" - Danko. That's my line dude, lay off.</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >11:00 Some talking about trapping Rebel and HRG offering to kill Tracy. </span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >12:00 Yay! Hiro & Ando are back. And they thing Matt's baby is Matt turned into a baby. Ando is cute being "warm mommy" while Hiro is being kind of mean. And baby Matt has a power - he's electric! do do do do do do do do do do</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: I had TOTALLY forgotten Matt had a baby, and also, why did Matt himself not care enough to go and see his own baby all this time?!?! The kid playing the baby is SO CUTE by the way. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: The Ando as warm mommy was both hilarious and creepy. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: True, cause didn't Janis get preggers in season 1, so Matt knew she'd have a baby, but never met him? Isn't that odd, for such a caring teddy bear such as Matt?</span> </div><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: Parkman is a deadbeat dad!!!!</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: SOO not like softie teddy bear matt!</span><br /><div><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >14:00 Angela dreamt 30 seconds into the future and saw people coming for her and managed to escape. </span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >15:00 Rebel is saving Tracy. But why? she's so boring. She finds the room where they're all being kept unconscious. She only saves Mohinder and Parkman. Sucks for those other guys! </span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >16:00 Weird, they can't see them! How'd Rebel manage that? Now Danko wants to follow Tracy to find Rebel. I guess it was their plot to set them free. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: Yup. I feel like this was in a previous ep as well where they purposely set her free.</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >21:00 Tracy is at a store stealing clothes. Funny! HRG followed her there. Also, attendents in fitting rooms are NEVER that attentive. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: When I was a sales associate at Express we always had to bring different clothes to the people in the fitting rooms and like ask them if they needed sizes and stuff. I always thought it was super awkward. When i'm in a fitting room I don't want people like coming to talk to me! Also remember how many opened shirts and pins we left in the Macy's fitting room...sucks for the people cleaning!</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Hahaahahahaha yea we totally messed that place up. And while yes, I have had people ask if I need anything, i've never had someone ask 3 times in a matter of minutes!</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >23:00 Yay Jedi Mind tricks!! BTW Matt's lie about what happened to Daphne was the best acting he's done all season. Why can't he be that believable normally?</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >24:00 Awww Baby Matt is adorable! Ando is Dr. Philling Hiro about his parental issues. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: Isn't Baby matt SO CUTE?!?!?!?!?!??! He just makes me go AWWWWWWWWWWWWW like mike mellin in a basket of puppies<br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">CB Note:</span><br /></span></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324203912264309362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 245px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVgeDjAlk2_jwE3vx-Bi6r-o3j0mbx2aoyEm8sG6aYzBftRu2YZw8d7AYhxJ9o2-o_ynVu5iJp1K80sn7zZOCb-oMm6PeQK1sD-GCoCsdntNSMNcfKtrgdJvpRgZJiDGIChFdn1GdD5hkc/s320/MellinBasket.jpg" border="0" /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW<br /><br /></span><div><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >25:00 Matt's baby momma comes home and finds them hiding in the closet with stuffed animals. Adorable!</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: I used to do this when I was little, and make my mom pretend she couldn't tell which one was me and which one was my blond haired cabbage patch doll who i thought looked like me</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >27:00 Tracy walks by a very friendly ATM thanks to Rebel. And finally the big reveal...Rebel is....Micah!! I think this is a nut, but I can't really remember if I came up with the idea myself. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: I loved this and thought it was so cute, and the "rebel" thing is less lame knowing all he lamness of it was by a little kid, which turns lame into cute</span><span style="font-family:';font-size:12;"><br /></span><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: This was a GIANT Caryn Nut!!!!</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: Major nut credits! </span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >32:00 Angela goes to meet Swoosie Kurtz, who we love from Pushing Daisies (among other things). Angela asks for help, but Swoosie can only handle a couple hundred dollars. What's that going to get her??</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: LOVE Swoosie Kurtz, from Cruel Intentions especially!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><span style="font-family:';font-size:12;"><br /></span><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255);font-family:georgia;" >LB Note: Swoosie? </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: Name of the actress, and an odd name perhaps, but I sort of love it</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >33:00 Ando and Hiro trying to explain that baby Matt is special. "It started during the eclipse" Zzzz snoozefest. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: They really need to give up on this eclipse crap.</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >34:00 She believes Matt's really a terrorist. Come on lady! </span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >35:00 The agents come for her and the baby in a perfectly timed walk-in. </span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >36:00 OOOOH! Hiro got his power back randomly and unexplained! The baby electricized him? Isn't that sort of what Ando's power is tho. Cute tho he tried to YATA! with the baby. Unfortunately he can't get it to work again so has to take Ando away in a wheelbarrow. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: Noooo the baby can turn things on and off, including powers. I'm not sure if this is really dumb or kinda smart.</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: The baby is super adorable, making his ability adorable, and therefore more on the smart side. :) </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: The baby can turn things on and off, but he only turned on Hiro's time stopping abilities, not his teleporting abilities!</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >41:00 Daphne wakes up in the hospital surrounded by balloons and cards for Gwen Stefani. Matt convinced them all that she was Gwen to get a good room and special treatment. Lol. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: To quote JN, I thought this was Lolz</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >42:00 Daph is apparently all better now. And now that she's better, she's back to telling Matt that they shouldn't be together. Come on!! Stop with the fake drama!!!!</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >43:00 Tracy going to the locker where Rebel sent her to find a passport. Micah, who looks way old btw, it's like Walt on Lost, can't believe Tracy would act as bait. So he sets off an alarm so they can get away. </span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >44:00 Angela walks into her building and is being chased. She gets in the elevator and looks pretty badass staring down the soldiers. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" ></span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >45:00 It looks like Angela is cooked, getting brought back down to the lobby in the elevator. Then it opens and bam! Peter's there too! Everyone is apparently too surprised to act in the next 5-10 seconds before he flies them away. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: How did Peter know where she'd be. This was dumb. </span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >49:00 Micah is giving Tracy a piece of his mind. Tracy mentions some revolutionary person I've never heard of. Justin, who "isn't watching" gets up in arms about this.</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: I think Im ight have been asleep at this point, cause I don't remember this scene...</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >51:00 They're being followed in the parking lot. How did all those soldier guys get there?? So Rebel starts the sprinklers and Tracy tells him to run and stay in front of the ice! Then she walks out to where the soldiers are and COLD SNAP. It was pretty cool special effects I think. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: This was cool effects, and THANK GOD all these Ali Larter characters are gone now, because they all SUCKED<br /></span><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: Eh....</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: No I really liked the special effects here! It was the rest of the story that was Eh! I do hope that this finally means the end of Ali Larter. They always fake us out with her!</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: Please, please, let her be dead this time!</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >52:00 Then Danko after all that comes walking out and shoots Frozen Tracy into a zillion pieces. But she blinked when it zoomed in on her piece of face. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: Suggesting that she still may be alive. Isn't this sand dude in Spiderman 3...</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >56:00 Daph is in Paris. Parkman is there - but how?? He says he flew. I dont think he can fly. I think he's just in her head, maybe? He's flying her around Paris. This is pretty lame. </span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >57:00 NUT! He IS in her head!! They're still in the hospital!!!! I totes didn't realize it while they were in the hospital, tho I did think it was odd she was all better so quickly. Sad, she's really dead. :(</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: I thought this was a good little scene! He loves her! I also didn't realize it was in her mind and got so pissed when they like made up that Parkman could fly, but then I realized he was making it up so it's fine.</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: But doesn't this also mean that they made us think she was dead then inexplicably kept her alive for pretty much no reason? I hate that.</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: Almost as bad as May-jah. Also what happened to that girl who could see things on TV and develop the abilities who was Micah's cousin?</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >58:00 Angela and Peter are in the Statue Of Liberty? Buy why??</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: Cause America stands for freedom! Also I heard from Kid Rock in a commercial for a National Guard before a movie, that freedom isn't free...</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: Did we EVER learn why that little jaunt to the statue of liberty was relevant?</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" ><strong>ON TO EPISODE TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</strong></span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >1:00 That car horn lets me know that we're in Mexico. Nathan and Claire (with new bangs - now they'll never recognize you!) are hiding out. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: Consensus on Claire's bangs?</span><span style="font-family:';font-size:12;"><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-size:100%;" >CB Note: I think all of Claire's (obvious) wigs are pretty awful.<br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: OMG I didn't know Claire wore wigs!!! I am apparently too blind for it to be obvious to me. I had no clue! Why does she need a wig, she has perfectly fine hair in real life!!!!!! Unless its ALWAYS a wig? Did anyone see hayden panettiere's music video where the song is like "i think i might have to cheat, to keep his eyes on me" and she changes outfits a lot and it's a little creepy? If not, I advise going to YouTube and viewing it ASAP, I think the song is called "Wake up" and goes "this is your wake up call..."</span><br /></span><!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--></span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">2:00 Peter and Angela land somewhere. And now he's yelling at her that he wants answers. Sudden downpour! They're at some church. Angela's being all vague, as our Heroes are wont to do. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)"></span><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: Angela gets on my nerves. Just tell him the truth already!<br /></span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">3:00 HRG and Danko with some dead peeps. Apparently they sent some soldiers to get some guy who was red flagged in the DNA database. But they don't even know what his ability is! That's a big no no for HRG.</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: Also seems out of character for Danko since he's all i'll spy on you and find out everything about you and take you down. This was dumb.</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">4:00 Danko gets in his car and listens to some old, inappropriately cheerful music. Sylar pops up in the backseat! He wants to team up with Danko. And just like that, poof, he's gone.</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">9:00 Danko giving a rousing speech to his underlings about catching the teacher guy. Then he gives HRG an assignment to get Angela. Oh noes!</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: He's trying to set up HRG. Clearly he doesn't trust him. Damn it HRG, do we need to send Micah in to do everything!</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">12:00 Claire and Nathan. She pawned the necklace HRG got her for some money. Now Nathan is gonna try to hustle some teenagers in drinking games to turn it into more!</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: Total Nash style nut from me here. As soon as I saw this, I was like um he soooo old now he's gonnna lose and Clare will have to rescue him.</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">13:00 Angela is at their church. Apparently she has insomnia. She wants to find peace so she can earn some sleep and dreams. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: I also go to church when I can't sleep and sit there. The image of a bloody Jesus helps...</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">15:00 Something is way off about this guy coming in to thank Danko for his speech. Now Sylar is calling Danko and has a present for him. A head! Turns out that guy was a shapeshifter! I knew something was off about him!</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: I thought this was kinda clever. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Agreed! I wish they spent more time coming up with these cool powers! </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)"></span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">20:00 Danko chasing shapeshifter guy. This whole plot is such a snoozer. Ew at the shapeshifting special effects. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: Honestly, is this the XFiles? This episode was AWFUL.</span><span style="font-family:';font-size:12;"><br /><!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--></span><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: Yes soooo gross when he changes.

Talking is not this show's strong suit. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: Does anyone have a power to turn people mute? If so, get them to Peter STAT.</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,51,204)">RK Note: LOL</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">23:00 Now here's something that can hold my interest. Drinking!! Nathan's pounding them down. There's only one guy left. Nathan passes out and Claire gets in on the drinking action to try to get the money back. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: NUTTTT. I enjoyed when Clare had to pretend to be drunk. Or was that later in the ep. Eh...<br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Lol! I liked that part too tho.</span><br /></span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">25:00 Danko and Sylar. More talking. *Yawn*</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">29:00 Peter talks to god blah blah. Then just as he asks him to show up, the bad guys turn up!! Peter and Angela hide in the confession booths. </span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: I don't understand why they'd hide there. They can't get out. It's not like the soldiers would be like well it's a confessional, we can't violate that. We won't look there even though we can see peoples' feet.</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(153,0,0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Yea, why couldn't Peter just fly them towards the door?</span><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">32:00 Sylar and Danko are at the shapeshifter's apt. Danko sure is slow. He looks through a bunch of pictures and says that the shapeshifter isnt in any of them. DUH he's a shapeshifter, he's in all of them!!</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">LB Note: Haha Danko is a dumb ass.

He didn't wake up, so HRG knows its not Sylar. My question is, wouldn't shapeshifter, when killed, revert back to his original shape? HRG asks dead guy "who are you?" He's dead. He's not gonna answer!</span> </div><div><span style="color:#3333ff;">LB Note: No I don't think I agree about the reverting back. Looks like you have to go through this whole concentrating face morphing thing...Also, shouldn't smart HRG have been able to deduce that he was the shapeshifter guy they were trying to catch in the previous episode...</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)"></span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">17:00 Mrs Bennett wants a divorce biyotch.

In ASOS, we start out beyond the wall at the Fist. Hints and the acknowledgement in the beginning of the book suggest that this is at the same time when Jon et al. are up lookign for the secret in the mountain. Chett, the dude who Jon got Sam to replace as the Maester's assistant, is planning a rebellion. Him and some other dudes are going to kill Mormont and some other people (including Sam or Ser Piggy as he calls him hahah) and then either desert the Night's Watch or hope that Mormont's successor is going to flee. They go back and Sam is taking archery practice and actually hits a target (methinks we have a potential nut in the making here. Sam is gonna kill someone important). Mormont calls everyone and announces that they are leaving the fist to lead secret attacks on Mance's troops. Chett goes to sleep only to be woken up prematurely by <em>three</em> blasts of the warhorn. This is no good b/c it means not a returning ranger, not an attack, but the Others. Ruh roh.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: I agree, the prologues are sort of different and rough bc they are new characters. This one sets up some dischord in the Watch though, and of course the arrival of Others. what will happen? Will Sam be alright?!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: "OMGEEE WHATZ GONNA HAPPENZ?!?!" Sigh. Didn't Chett pee himself or someting? lol! Also, do you notice somewhat of a theme in the prologues of each book?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Chett DID pee himself, totally!! But I don't blame him because when I heard the Others were coming, I almost peed myself too. I want to bring up a distinction that has only become clear to be in ASOS that I never realized in prior books-- that the "wights" and the "Others" are apparently DIFFERENT things-- there appears to be "wights" that take the shape of dead people and dead animals that look like their actual recognizable forms but are like zombies sort of, walking dead with their flesh hanging off and stuff, and then there's the Others that are silvery shapes with those piercing blue eyes. They both come and try to kill everyone. Is this accurate or am I confused?</span><br /><br />Cut to....Jaime...huh? I was so confused as to why we have Jaime chapters all of a sudden. He's on a boat with Brienne and his cousin. Turns out Catelyn didn't kill him but sent him back to King's Landing for an exchange with her daughters. Sigh. Jaime is such a d-bag. He keeps calling Brienne wench or something and she is pissed. I hope she totally kicks his ass. She should be slapping him across the face constantly. Funny scene where he shaves his head because he doesn't want poeple to see him in chains. They stop at some tree where some of Robb's peeps string up a bunch of tavern whores who slept with Lannister men. They are all so cruel! What happened to due process guys!?!? They are trying to bury them when they see a ship pursuing them. Turns out it is people from Riverrun who are trying to get the Kingslayer back. They are about to do so when Brienne climbs up on the side and drops a huge rock onto the pursuing ship. Ha! Brienne is so bad ass. I love it. Jaime makes some smug comment about how he could have just rowed away with his cousin and escaped. I doubt so jackass. Brienne is the one who is gonna get you safely back to Kings Landing.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: The first great twist of ASOS - JAIME CHAPTERS! totally unexpected, and the first view from one of the real Lannister bad guys (as opposed to tyrion). and he is so mean to brienne, he deserves whatever she does to him. poor Brienne hte Beauty. and even the Stark peeps killed innocent people? le sigh. there is just no rule of law during these war times. its totes like hte GWOT! </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Jaime chapters were a BIG surprise. Can't wait to see what you think of them moving forward! I'm also a big fan of Brienne!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: What is the GWOT? I LOVE Brienne and I sort of like Jaime too, seeing the world through his eyes from his perspective has really changed my impressions! Of course, Jaime grew on me later in the book and not so early on. Brienne is the best though! </span><br /><br />Cut to Catelyn who is in biiiiiiiiiig trouble for setting Kingslayer free. At her own suggestion, they confine her to her father's chamber until Edmure returns. Her father is deteriorating. He keeps on saying something about how he's so sorry Tansy. Catelyn surmises that this is actually Lysa and figures she was pregnant when her dad married her to Jon Arryn. Catelyn writes to Lysa to come and forgive her father so he can die in peace. Then Edmure comes back and is pissed at Catelyn and tells her he's sent people after them and has put Roose Bolton at Harrenhal at alert to capture Jamie and Brienne. Sigh.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Catelyn, how could you be so stupid? le sigh. That tansy story sure was interesting. if you nutted it, do you have any guesses on who knocked her up?!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Catelyn was just in an emotional place! She's lost two of her children!!! She wants to get all of her living children back! It might not have been smart, but you can imagine the place her mind was in. I also liked the tansy story.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I wasn't 100% sold on Tansy being Lysa, but I did believe the story about Lysa being pregnant before her dad married her to Jon Arryn, Catelyn totally figured that out. I bet Petyr Baelish Littlefinger knocked her up!!!! But could Tansy also be someone ELSE important from her father's life?</span><br /><br />Short and rather boring Arya chapter. They're traveling from Harrenhal and she falls asleep on her horse and has a wolf dream where she kills some of the Bloody Mummers. They don't reach the Trident yet.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: this was a set up chapter and a litle boring yea, though some of us appreciated the total awesomeness of Arya dreaming Nymeria and her pack saving them! i hope they find eachother before the end!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Baby! That's not at all how I would have said it. Sigh. I would have said that Bran has his dreams where he's in Summer. John has had a dream where he's ghost....so Arya's dream must mean.....(and now that you've said it) that Nymeria is alive and safe and somehow looking out for Arya!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I LOVE when Arya dreams of Nymeria, which must mean Nymeria is alive and still a part of her and they will be reunited at some point!!! I hope soon!!!!!!!!!!! I think it was clear back in ACOK though that the "big pack of wolves" terrorizing the forests lead by the biggest wolf ever is Nymeria with a pack of regular wolves.</span><br /><br />To Tyrion who finds out that many of his plans and his control over Kings Landing has been undone! His head of the City Watch has been killed and Bronn has been made a knight. Bronn comes and appears to be still loyal to Tyrion but who knows. Tyrion goes to his father in the tower of the Hand and sort of suggests he should get his reward, namely his rights to Casterly Rock (since Jaime is a kingsgaurd and kingsgaurd cannot inherit land). Tywin says some nasty things about how he will never inherit Casterly Rock and basically calls him a freak who isn't really his son and threatens him not to fall in love with a whore again. As I said in ACOK, the wya they are treating Tyrion is no good for them. He is going to switch sides or something!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Tyrion knew tywin would totally be an ass, but he asked anyway. it sure is unfair, he did all the work, and stupid tywin and the tyrells and renlys ghost are getting all the credits. NOT FAIR! we will keep in mind this twice projected nut of side switching, for future nut/raisin picure allocation, lb.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Yes seriously, how do they not realize how smart and awesome Tyrion is. He's done so much for them and they don't appreciate him at all!! It's like when I do all the cooking and cleaning and don't get any props from JN! He better watch it!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Poor Tyrion is treated so terribly by his own family!!! :(</span><br /><br />Davos is alive!!!!!!!! Turns out he managed to swim under the chain and washed up on some island. He is reallllly depressed b/c all his sons are lost and he lost his fingers hanging around his neck!!! He has been surviving off of rainwater and crabs and he is contemplating death when he sees a ship in the distance. He surmises it is one of Stannis's ships because of the colors (though he cannot read) and he somehow calls them over to rescue him. Ohhhh Davos. I hope you go back and kill Melisandre that creepy biotch.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: did i tell you, or did i not tell you, that you would find out if davos was alive in ASOS? nut for me!!! good thing it was a stannis ship. yay davos! (btw, he kinda needed to live, so we could find otu what happy-happed to stannis and melisandre!). oh, also, re melisandre, wasnt it kinda not her fault they lost the battle?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Double sigh. Baby, no nuts for things you already know!!!! Dont be ridonkulous! I think if melisandre was at the battle, it would have turned out way different cause she could have just birthed hundreds of shadow fighters to kill everybody. lol.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: It seems like she needs a partner to birth shadow figures and perhaps Stannis wasn't strong enough after birthing the last shadow? Like she needs a man to create shadows with like a baby? Also, it seems clear there's magic here and R'Hllor and the Red people can definitely get things accomplished... And I haven't seen the powers of the Seven and the Weirwoods and the Drowned God do antyhing yet, just R'Hllor... Soooo does this mean R'Hllor is the right god to be worshipping after all??!?!! I don't know what religion to adhere to!</span><br /><br />Hilllarious Sansa chapter. She receives a dinner invite from Maergery. She is escorted over by Flower Knight and essentially makes a fool of herself by bringing up Renley. She gets there and is at dinner with Maergery and Maergery's grandmother, who people call the Queen of Thorns. Grandma is HILLARIOUS and speaks her mind. Turns out she is not happy with the match and wants to know the truth about Joffrey. Sansa is nervous to say anything at first (as she should be; she has learned not to trust <em>anyone</em>). She ends up telling the truth though, that Joffrey is a complete monster. Maergery suggests that they are going to get Sansa out to Higharden to marry her brother. Another hillarious moment where Sansa is all excited b/c she thinks she is marryign Loras, but is wrong obviously because he is kingsgaurd. Instead she is going to marry his older crippled brother (parralel to Bran?) I wonder who/if anyone will actually get her out of Kings Landing? Fool Knight or Granny?<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: A BEAR, A BEAR, ALL BLACK AND BROWN, AND COVERED IN HAIR!! (not my bear sillies). this chapter was terrific. good by sansa not to be trusting, but i hope she gest out of there. Queen of Thorns is totes an awesome new character. great chapter all around. also, that loras leading sansa portion was great, for humor, and other reasons. Care to make a guess if sansa's savior will be Granny, Dontos, or none of the above?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I looooove the Queen of Thorns! She was so awesome this chapter! I loved her take-no-guff attitude. Oh Knight of Flowers *swoon*</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: There is SOMETHING meaningful about this BEAR AND THE MAIDEN FAIR song that is foreshadowing something, they keep bringing it up too much for it not to be important! But who is the Bear besides the "Old Bear" Commander Mormont of the Night's Watch? I also like the Queen of Thorns!</span><br /><br />Jon is with the Wildings and goes to meet Mance. He mistakes some fat dude for Mance but it turns out Mance is the guy singing. They talk alone. We find out a number of things about Mance. He deserted from the Night Watch b/c of some incident where he was healed by a wilding who gave him this piece of red cloth and they wouldn't allow him to wear it b/c he has to wear black. Mance, it turns out, was at Winterfell during Robert's visit!!! He snuck in with Robert's entourage and no one nreally knows what he looks like so they didn't notice. He saw Jon and everyone there. I was so nervous here that Mance would see through Jon. Jon comes up with the brillian answer to why he deserted about "did you see where they had me sit during the feast?" Mance says somehting like "get this man a new cloak!" Phew first test is done!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: not much to say here, just a great answer by jon, well set up and felt badass evne tho it was just an answer ot a question.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I also thought this scene was awesome, learning Mance was AT WINTERFELL!! AAAAACKKKKK!!! This is btw where I really wanted book 1 back so that I could reread the chapter with the feast haha. Also loved Jon's answer!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Can't believe Mance was at Winterfell! I kind of LIKE Mance Rayder, surprisingly!!!!! I wonder if GRRM really plotted out ALL 7 books ahead of time so he could insert foreshadowing and plant little nuts so far along the way, like Mance being at the feast in AGOT.</span><br /><br />To Daenerys who is on the ship with her dragons. Ser Jorah does <em>not</em> trust any of this. After a conversation with the old squire dude about her family (turns out he knew her dad and brother) she retires to bed and is completely nekked when Jorah comes in to convince her to test their loyalty. She is to order them to not go to Magister what's his face but instead go to one of the places in the Slaver's Sea. She is to purchase a bunch of the "Unsullied" from this one city. Story about the Unsullied in Qarth stopping the Dotrhraki at the walls. Danerys agrees that it's a good idea. She is about to get dressed and...Jorah kisses her!! He make some comment about how she is allowed to take husbands. Umm.....I dunno something about this creeps me out. Isn't Jorah supposed to be super old and Daenerys is like 14 or something...sigh...the incest and pedophilia in this book!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Unsullied! you'll learn more about them lol. oh Jorah, its not his fault he loves dany. she's dany! i love her! how did this old squire dude know Dany's fam?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CB Note: I agree with the icky factor of old Jorah kissing young Dany. Blech!!! Get off Gramps!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Something in here was a little odd but at the same time I was kind of rooting for Dany to fall for Jorah! I kind of like the guy! And he can't be THAT old, right? Maybe like his 40s? I mean granted Dany is like 14 or 15, but still... </span><br /></span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-53725172921053969472009-04-10T20:50:00.006-04:002009-04-13T11:06:27.357-04:00LOST April 8, 2009LB is on to A Storm of Swords!!! congrats LB! any guesses as to when the Kurth of Flowers will finally finish A Game of Thrones? I'm putting the over/under at May 21, 2009. Place your bets, win a nut!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Hmm, that's a toughy. Especially since Rachel can fix the results! I guess I'll go with the under.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: LOL. I am am past page 500, but still have a good chunk to go... Tough call, I am not sure even where I'd put my own over/under!! Also who wants to lend me their copy of a Clash of Kings when I'm ready?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"></span><br />1:00 - "jacob wanted it done." great opener for the ep.<br /><br />2:00 - who is this dude btw? important? or is he gonna get killed in 2 minutes? id guess he was the leader of the others, but that should be widmore maybe, bc ben deposed widmore? or this is the guy before widmore? or is richard the leader?<br /><br />3:00 - omglol. its charles widmore!! does that count as a nut? i think it should!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Actually I believe it counts as a......</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjtWjitnxmTgdSnmDXSIT7y6hXwhC4A9u8Ux-FiroiiZcMxwlZB8sYGE4VejSEKTXpFdzdWNhm6gXDWy7ZNIZDbWSgyHVhDP8mbXEskSFfKB-XXXeLm5kMhjRM34y7UtRJIGm6fXbhyphenhyphenIYC/s1600-h/raisin.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323250894107150514" style="width: 166px; height: 200px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjtWjitnxmTgdSnmDXSIT7y6hXwhC4A9u8Ux-FiroiiZcMxwlZB8sYGE4VejSEKTXpFdzdWNhm6gXDWy7ZNIZDbWSgyHVhDP8mbXEskSFfKB-XXXeLm5kMhjRM34y7UtRJIGm6fXbhyphenhyphenIYC/s200/raisin.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: MAJOR raisin, but why did Widmore look SO different than he did in 1954? I mean I guess its been over 20 years, but still...</span><br /><br />4:00 - who is gonna judge ben? is it jacob? i bet its... THE TEMPLE!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: DUHS it's the black smoke!!!!! We totes mcgoats knew this from the previews last ep.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: DUH Justin, it's smokey! We knew that!</span><br /></span><br />5:00 - so close, the black smoke will do the judging. black smoke comes from the temple we learned from rousseau's old plot, so i think... BILL IT!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Still not a nut for you. Try again later!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: RAISIN</span><br /><br />6:00 - hey, is this guy who had sayid in cuffs working for widmore? i dont remember.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Initially folks, I had no clue whatsover at who J was referring to here. I asked him and discovered he meant Caesar (tho he didnt remember Caesar's name). So, then I came back to the blog and have to wonder why exactly J thinks that Caesar had Sayid in cuffs when in fact it was the girl bounty hunter, Ilana who had Sayid in cuffs on the plane. Sooo......I have to say.....whatchu talkin bout J-roc?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Oh, nash...</span><br /><br />7:00 - lol at how easily ben manipulates that idiot. think its a double game that locke set up with caesar?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Ben's totally double-timing Locke. He's pretending that he is on Locke's side and knew he'd come back to life and yada yada yada, but he's totally trying to turn everyone against Locke and make them think he's an "other" if you will. Kind of like an Ethan pretending to be a Lostie. Oh, Ben!</span><br /><br />8:00 - omg at young ben and his terrible hair, and his different voice. HILARIOUS. think theyre getting rousseau or alex? thats what i think...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Hilarious at Ben's fake hair. It's almost as bad as Jack's fake hair in his flashbacks. Seriously, this show is all crazypants so you'd think they'd at least have good hair/makeup effects people! Speaking of hair, did it bother anyone else that Ethan's hair was blonde when adult Ethan has dark hair?</span><br /><br />9:00 - nut.... nut.... wait for it.... nutteroo!!!<br /><br />10:00 - oooh, he told her to run from whispers.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I also thought this was awesome</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: omgeeeeeeeee so the whispers are the OTHERS? or from SMOKEY? or WHAT?</span><br /><br />11:00 - great question john, about why ben stopped you then killed you. what was the critical information ben got from him? i dont remember. also, did we nut this as hte reasoning behind the "dont do it, ill do it" twist?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Well NUT for me re: Feb 25th Lost Bloggage where you wonder why Ben stopped Locke from suiciding and then killed him anyway. I thought that he wanted to get info out of John first, cause at that point we didn't know if he knew about Eloise or not (which is who Locke told him Widmore told him to go see to get back to the island). Also, per Rachel's notes to the same issue about how maybe Ben wanted to be the leader so he wanted Locke out of the way - I think there's a bit of truth to this also, since Ben was always threatened by Locke and jealous of his ties to the island. That showed a lot tonight with him trying to sabotage him/get him killed again/wonder how Locke knew so much about the island. He totally wants to be one with the island like Locke is.</span><br /><br />12:00 - if the monster is a "judger" whyd it kill people who didnt deserve to die, like ecko?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Maybe Eko did deserve to die! He was a really bad guy before the island if you'll remember, a killer and a drug dealer. He caused his brother's death. Upon my Lostpedia research, I believe that the reason the smoke killed him was because he refused to confess his sins. Ben did confess to being responsible for Alex's death and was sorry for it.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Interesting how smokey kills some, acquits some, and others releases but makes sick/insane like Rousseau's comrades! </span><br /><br />13:00 - rofl at ben killing caesar. all that "what's the deal with caesar..." previous blogging, and just like that, poof, gone, like keyser soze.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: That would be kind of a let down if this was IT for caesar. I'm gonna go and say it isn't and we'll find out more about him in the future.</span><br /><br />14:00 - oh man, great commercial... EARTH BELOW USSSS DRIFITNG FALLINGGGGGGG.<br /><br />20:00 - i am enjoying this locke-ben banter.<br /><br />21:00 - i like how its turning into an alex-centric episode.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I miss Alex.</span><br /><br />22:00 - also, omglol at young(er) widmore.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: More great work by the hair dept at lost.</span><br /><br />23:00 - ooh ooh, we are totes mcgotes gonna get to see the actual deposing of widmore. love it!<br /><br />24:00 - they are in the present right? they didnt flash? who is in that house?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Duh yes they are in present (which is 2007 fyi)</span><br /><br />25:00 - sun, really? that was so obvious. i thought itd be cooler.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: You thought it would be Alex's ghost didntcha</span><br /><br />26:00 - ben is lying right? we know he woulda known them? or did ben not know bc he got temple-saved?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Well, we know that he would lose memory if taken to the others to be saved. However, they say he's gonna go back to Dharma after that, meaning presumably he'd see them again. Tho perhaps not, it's not clear yet really. He could have stayed with the others for a little bit before going back. Or maybe when returned to Dharma he didnt interact with any of them. Shrugs. I don't think he was lying.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: MAYBE, they're gone by the time ben gets back to Dharma!!!</span><br /></span><br />27:00 - lol at lupidis then "you might wanna look outside!"<br /><br />28:00 - think im the only one totes not interested in all the "sun must find jin" storylining? and how could frank be so dumb as to walk away? doesnt he know the dilly by now?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Yes you are the only one. Sun & Jin forever!!!! How can you not love the love stories in Lost (except for the love rectangle...Sun/Jin and especially Penny/Desmond is where its at)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: YES you are the only one, Sun & Jin forever, must reunite, true love forever and ever and ever and ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><br />29:00 - oh, is this is secret thing we saw used before like last season? i guess this means hte boat was to regular dharmaville. omg teh tmeple secret door!!! dharma town is ubitl over it?!?!?!?!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I feel like I've been noting forever and you're only on minute 29? This can't be right. Also, I find this entry totally unledgible. What are you saying?!?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Uhhhh i don't think dharmatown is built over the stuff below the temple... i don't think it extends THAT far underground, it seemed like a long hike through the jungle, past the sonar fences, to get to that temple wall..... and if the wall is outside the temple, then the temple is INSIDE the wall... and we've never even seen what it looks like, for all we know its some crazy ultra-modern structure that is surrounded by an ancient looking wall to throw ppl off.</span><br /><br />30:00 - WHAT was with that puddle!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Certainly a weird way to summon the monster.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: How the heck does this swamp bathtub plug thing work</span><br /><br />31:00 - hmm weird explanation on the power change. i thought itd be a big event. instead there was talk of penny mothered by an outsider. we totes know who right? seemed an odd breakup tho for how widmroe left. i was expecting more fireworks.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Yea I was hoping we'd have more explanation of this too, perhaps in the future. I guess if Penny's mom is an outsider, then it's not Ellie and so she and Faraday aren't true siblings, just halfers. I also still have issues with the timeline. This is happening post-purge, meaning after 1992. So, obviously Penny was born a long time ago, so why is Widmore being punished for it at this point? Something must have happened to turn the tables and put Ben in the power position instead of Widmore so Ben is punishing Widmore for this "rule breaking" that he's done in the past. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Right, the timeline makes no sense! Also Faraday and Penny wouldn't be half siblings unless Charles Widmore is Faraday's dad, which is a nut I had tried to make awhile back, but I don't think its been confirmed yet, has it?</span><br /><br />32:00 - john walking scares me too, tbh.<br /><br />33:00 - i think ben was tricking or something. he totes doesnt want to see the monster...<br /><br />34:00 - great ben call to widmore. the ep is totes gonna end with ben doing something to penny, maybe cliffhanging. i think she'll be ok. tho he really mgiht kill her, as payback for alex.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note:</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha8Oa1aITJJ2H189UbVb3WdqntQ6-WnKcUL2veM5SsNuP_KaF2wlI6ZvdIsxq49DPWel33rDUiyEZlfJLFYmJOJTjXmO9JuRYNyG9LHaqb6dYSvS10fMjVlrW3f88wF-suMk-m4penOju9/s1600-h/raisin.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323260726935920578" style="width: 166px; height: 200px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha8Oa1aITJJ2H189UbVb3WdqntQ6-WnKcUL2veM5SsNuP_KaF2wlI6ZvdIsxq49DPWel33rDUiyEZlfJLFYmJOJTjXmO9JuRYNyG9LHaqb6dYSvS10fMjVlrW3f88wF-suMk-m4penOju9/s200/raisin.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><br />35:00 - omg! why under? i dont get it? and tell desmond i was sorry! must be for penny right? or something else? maybe he sees penny and desmond now and does something besides kill her? suspensefullllllllll<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: This is the same place that Danielle's guys went down. It's where the smoke monster came from. When Ben said this, i nutted that he was sorry for ATTEMPTING to murder penny. (after seeing what happened, probs also for shooting him lol).</span><br /><br />36:00 - omg he shot desmond!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Desmooooooooooooooooooooooooooond!</span><br /><br />37:00 - the kid! it was just like with alex and he didnt kill rousseau!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Apparently Ben is a big softie for the kiddies!</span><br /><br />38:00 - whats he have to be sorry for tho? just shooting desmond? and obvi we know how he got those bruises. did anyone nut it?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Yup. I said that he went after Penny and my thoughts were that Desmond was the cause of his bruises (since I was confident that they wouldn't kill off Penny!)</span><br /><br />39:00 - wtf is this girl up to? ilana. did widmore send her after sayid? thats right, right? so shes looking for the statute or temple for widmore?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I'd like to note that earlier in this blog you (incorrectly) said that Caesar was the one who brought Sayid on the plane. Just saying.... Anyhoo, you also are obsessed with connecting these people to Widmore, not in a nutting sense, but in a thinking we already know sense. For the record, we don't know for either yet. So far we had no reason to think she was aware of the island before landing on it. So what's the deal with her being in cahoots with a few other passengers and knowing things about the island, specifically the statue??!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: What lies in the shadow of the statue?!?!? How is she connected?! How does she know anything?! What is weird is that when ben called widmore he seemed to genuinely have no idea how ben could possibly get back to the island, so how can ilana and them be working for him?!?!?! what DOES lie in the shadow of the statute? is it Jughead the bomb?</span><br /><br />53:00 - i totes dont understand the heiroglyphics btw.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I knew you were messing up the timing this ep! You jumped to minute 53!</span><br /><br />54:00 - the smoke came out of those holes, lol. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Bizarre</span><br /><br />55:00 - awesome.... getting ot see the inside of hte smoke. pure awesome.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Except, pure LAME? THIS is all that happens inside the smoke? What BAD special effects. I was VERY disappointed, personally.</span><br /><br />56:00 - oh alex... making ben seem almost not terrible. and theres alex! omg, its like christian and all hte rest. craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy<br /><br />57:00 - whoa. is jacob appearing as alex now? i bet thats it. its gotta be it.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: We've had loads of occassions where people on the island see and speak to people who are dead/not supposed to be there. Perhaps it always is Jacob appearing as other people.</span><br /><br />58:00 - pretty good ep. with we coulda had more ben-widmore backstory though. and things still seem weird about the temple, din really learn much. we knew the smoke came from it.Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16312656600255942016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-65948985013871916052009-04-09T19:19:00.005-04:002009-08-19T15:35:16.562-04:00A Clash of Kings Final EntryAs with Game of Thrones, a trip to my parent's house has led me to finish this book. As per CB's great idea, I will do a character by character recount.<br /><br /><u>Theon</u>: I start with him becuase ding dong the douche is dead! Ha! Asshole. What a jackass. His sister finally comes and is like you are a total douche, you have like 4 people and no access to supplies and all of the Stark's bannermen are coming and you have no way to hold the castle. So he is a total jackass and his last ditch hope is to send Reek away to hire some soldiers. Turns out Reek is actually Roose Bolton's bastard and he comes back just in time. But sadly for Theon, he is still out of luck. Before he knows Reek is coming back Maester Luwin has almost convinced him to surrender and take the black, and even to the last second he is an arrogant douche and is all like I would be the head of the Watch and the greatest ranger ever blaaahhhh. Well too bad he's dead!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Theon totes mcgotes shoulda listened to Asha. she seems to know the score, despite being a woman and all. I was so sad that Ser Rodrick and all the good northmen got traitored and killed by hte boltons. i thought luwins idea to take the black was great, and quite fitting since benjen and jon did too! the writing as theon realized that reek was betraying him was terrific tho, everything was helter skelter, the reader had no clue what fighting was going on, and then it was all omg!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I had started writing notes to this blog, but then my internet explorer inexplicably restarted itself, so JN got in first. I believe I wrote: Ding Dong!! Were you surprised Reek turned out to be Bolton?? I sure was!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Reek being Bolton's Bastard was a GREAT twist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was also thrilled when Theon died, he was such a douche, heartless and ungrateful and a traitor. Theon Turncoat!</span><br /><br /><u>Bran</u>: Speaking of, excellent nut about Bran and Rickon being in the Crypt. Theon goes to the ale house or wherever and kills two kids who look similar to them and hangs them from the castle. I guess he did this to save face to say that he found them but it backfires because the people <em>hate </em>him. Bran is having tons of his wolf dreams in the crypt and he sees Winterfell burning from jackass Reek. So they come back up to see Master Luwin about to die. Luwin's last advice is that they separate Bran and Rickon because it's safer that way. So Bran goes with Hodor and the green folk north and Rickon goes with Osha.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: great crypt nut!!! re the trick of posting the dead bodies of the wrong kids, did you realize that that was what reek was proposing at the end of the chapt when bran and rickon escaped? its worth reading again to juts see how nicely foreshadowed the trickery is. i think cb or zero actually thought for a few moments subsequently that bran and rickoned were really captured and killed bc it was only hinted til theon admitted it at the end of the chapter when he was having bad dreams. also, the greendream about the faces coming off came true!!! Just to explain re Reek/Ramsay Snow (Bastard of Bolton), Ramsay married and did that bad stuff to the woman to get her lands, then was chased by good northmen, he switched clothes with reek, and reek got killed and ramsay captured. so the whole time, it was actually Ramsay at Winterfell and ingratiating himself with theon, surely planning to escape and capture winterfell himself. he seems a formidable opponent!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I really don't know how you knew they were in the crypt! I totally didn't nut that, tho I did nut that they weren't really dead.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I nutted that they weren't really dead and were in the Crypt! I think it was foreshadowed somewhere, like LB noted in the last blog, I must have gotten it from somewhere. Roose Bolton's bastard is bad.... bad bad bad... So sad but smart to split up Bran and Rickon!</span><br /><br /><u>Tyrion:</u> The battle comes. Stannis is on his way up the river (forget the name) and he has this plan to basically send out his "fleet" to meet Stannis's but really only as a distraction after whcih he will fling all of the wildfire into the river and burn them out. And then he will raise the chain that he created and the ships will be swept into it (I'm assuming the chain would burn as well with the wild fire...not so sure what it did, cause it was all so fast but yeah...JN Explain...) Anyway so everything is burning and there is news that Stannis is approaching the gate and the Hound is scared and won't go!! He is scared of the fire. So Tyrion leads the troops into battle himself and they head to the river but it turns out all of the ships are making a bridge because they are caught together and all of Stannis's men are climbing across. Tyrion starts fighting and is about to be killed by one of the kings guard (Cersei set him up the biotch!) and Podrick Payne saves him!!!! He gets a big gash on the face but that's it. Meanwhile, somehow Tywin has made his way up to take Stannis's army from the rear. They chase Stannis away in a humiliating defeat and save King's Landing. Tyrion wake's up and his jaw is broken and he has a huge \gash on his face. He finds out that his dad is back and resumed the position of Hand. Here's the problem, all of this was Tyrion's doing and apaprently no one is giving him credit. He will take his vengance!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: glad to hear you liked the battle. even cb did! i loved how he told it from the 3 perspectives, and it was particulary creepy hearing Sansa's take on waiting. as for the battle itself, The Blackwater Rush river runs to the south of Kings Landing. Stannis' fleet sailed up the coast, then into the river, the fleet would be used to land troops on the city-side, and to ferry the troops that were marching along up the mainland across the river. the chain was strung along 2 towers at the entrance to the river from the bay, and when tyrion sunk/blew up the biggest lannister ships, it blocked the way up the river, then the chain was raised to block the exit to the bay - therefore trapping almost all of stannis' ships in the burning part of the river. Cersei is a total bitoctch, trying ot get tyrion killed, but its a good thing Podric was there! great save! tyrion totes should get the credit, but he wont. stupid tywin lannister, and renlys ghost. nto fair! the scenes of tyrion trying to get pod and bronn to stop cersei from keeping him drugged were funny too.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Even CB liked it! woot! Yea I especially liked the Tyrion fighthing scene, I was so worried/angry when that meanie kingsguard guy tried to kill Tyrion!!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Me too, such betrayal from Cersei! I think we discussed the battle scene a lot over brunch, but very awesome, well planned by Tyrion, he deserves the credit he won't get! I hope Shae is OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully tending to Lollys inside Maegor's Holdfast during the battle.</span><br /><br /><u>Sansa</u>: After her flowering, Sansa realizes the pain of being a woman. Haha sorry I wanted to start with a dramatic statement. So she goes to see Joff off to war and he is such a giant douche. And then she goes to where Cersei is keeping all the women safe. She sees the king's justice there and at first Cersei tells her it is to deal with traitors. But then she finds out that if the city is captured, Cersei would rather they both die. Sigh. So after they think the city is taken, Sansa escapes up to her bedroom, where the Hounds is creepily waiting in her bed and makes her sing. WEird weird scene here and the Hound leaves. I feel like he is gonna change sides at some point cause he has this weird secret love for Sansa. Sansa finds out what has happened (people think it was Renley's ghost who came back) adn ends up to the big ceremonies where Joff is knighting people and giving people lands. Turns out Littlefinger was able to convince Flower knight's family to join them and they make Flower Knight part of the kingsguard. Tywin is back to being the King's hand. Also, much to Sansa's delight, JOff "releases" her because he is going to marry Flower Knight's sister (Renley's widow). She is happy and she meets with her fool knight who tells her not to be so happy because JOff will still torment her and Cersei will never let her go. He said he is going to help her escape during Joff's wedding when everyone is distracted. Woohoo!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Sansa and the Hound... creeeeeeeeeeepy. Littlefinger saves the day! im pretty sure a raisin needs to be posted, bc somebody was concerned Littlefinger would doublecross the lannisters... an Escape! finally!!! did Dontos give any details about the plan yet??? (he asks in a voice that suggests dontos has)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I was soooo scared for Sansa when Cersei told her the real reason Ilyn was there. CREEPY MCCREEPSTERS!!!!!!! Cersei is such a whackadoodle. Double creepsters for that Hound scene where he makes her (my little bird) sing a song to him and then he tries to kiss her. Eep! As for Dontos, I believe that all he says is that they're going to escape on the night of the wedding and then he gives her a hairnet to wear to the wedding. I hope Stacy and Clinton would approve (sorry, at home I've been watching some What Not to Wear)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: LOL to Caryn's WNTW reference. Does anyone else think Ser Loras might really not be fully in it for the Lannisters? The Tyrells were like Renly's biggest supporters, and now theyv'e come back to the Lannisters, but are they REALLY on the Lannister side or are they in it for their own power? </span><br /><br /><u>Catelyn</u>: Stays away from the celebration when she gets the (false) news that Bran and Rickon are dead. She goes to see the Kingslayer and quesitons him. He is surprisingly honest with her (confesses he is the one to throw Bran from the window and that Joffrey is his) so that she will tell him actual news. Scene closes with Catelyn asking Brienne for a sword. I hope she doesn't kill him so that they kill Sansa!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: poor catelyn, thinking bran and rickon are dead :( this was a terrific scene, and widely considered one of the best in the series, as its our only real interaction with the Kingslayer, and hte story he tells is good. its also a devilish cliffhanger - whats she gonna do!!!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Definitely an interesting scene and most definitely my favorite Catelyn scene ever since the time when she kidnapped Tyrion (i like when she does kickass things, and she hasnt been doing kickass things lately!) It was pretty cool that they would ask each other questions, kind of like the House ep we just saw with John Laraquette, where he was a coma patient who House woke up to ask him medical history questions since his son was dying but John would only answer if he could ask House questions first. Jaime was (not surprisingly) pretty d-baggy tho, especially at the beginning! I for one didn't know what Catelyn was gonna do!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Great House analogy Caryn!!!!!!! Jaime was dbaggy but its nice to get to know him... He is sooooooooooooooooo loyal to Cersei and I feel like I'm learning new perspectives to him. WHO SENT THE MAN WITH THE KNIFE TO FINISH BRAN OFF?!?!?!?!! omg. And if it wasn't Cersei or Jaime, WHY did they want to finish Bran off?!?!?!?!?!</span><br /><br /><u>Arya</u>: Is Roose's (?) cup bearer. But she realizes that he is going to give Harrenhal to the mummer people (don't remember who they are) so she decides to escape. She convinces Rob's bastard and Hot PIe to go with her and steals a map and a dagger and some horses. They head out to purportedly head to Riverrun towards Robb. I hope she gets there! We need a Stark reunion!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: the bloody mummers are a band of mercenaries, led by Vargo Hoat, who talkth like thith. i believe rorge and biter (the other 2 prisoners with jaqen) are also bloody mummers. the mummers are hte ones who brought in the northmen as fake prisoners. they used to be lannister mercenaries, but now wor for bolton, bc, as arya told you, roose is gonna give the goat harrenhal. as for arya, i seem to remember her doing more than just stealing a dagger.... i believe she Valar Morghulis'ed somebody. additionally, there was another nice little nugget in this chapter that went unblogged.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: How could you NOT mention the KICKASS way Arya got them out of Harrenhaal?!?! She walked up to the one guard at the exit they were gonna take. As Roose's cupbearer, it wasn't super fishy. She dropped the coin that Jaqen had given her, he bent over to pick it up and she sliced open his neck!!!!!!!!! VALAR MORGHULIS BITCHES! I thought that was the coolest. I *heart* arya</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: OMG Arya is BADASS!! I didn't know Valar Morghulis was like a verb, like you could Valar Morghulis'ed someone, but she did SAY it after she killed the guy, although I was sort of interpreting it to mean more like "R.I.P." or something, but maybe it means something more specific. Also I don't even think Arya knows what it means!!!</span><br /><br /><u>Daenerys</u>: After her creepy encounter with the warlocks (?) where her dragon burns down their place and she learns nothing, she is essentially an outcast in Qarth and even her creepy host dude wants her out since she won't marry him. She is going to try find some ships to take her people away when someone tries to kill her wit hthis box with a scorpion thing. She is saved by this dude who was sent by Magister Ilirio (?) the same dude who was with her and Vyseris who sold her to the Khal. He is going to give her ships to carry her people and dragons back to him in whatever city he is from.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: this is by far the most disappointing entry in the whole blog. i expected SO MUCH MORE. Dany in the Hosue of the Undying is one of the most important chapters ever. i was planning to write "you hardly need me to tell you this..." but apparently you do need it so: the adept squirrel rereads this chapter 2-3x, folds its page, and attempts to puzzle out the visions and dreams. duh! oh daniel-san, L2wax! The dudes who saved dany are Arstan and Strong Belwas. what's illyrio's plan?! can they be trusted?! only time, or the skilled nutter, can tell!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I have to side with JN here. The House of the Undying chapter is riddled with nuts. It's like a squirrel's winter home.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: LOL, good analogy CB! Illyrio is not necessarily one to be trusted, but I'm glad Dany is getting a ship back to Westeros!</span><br /><br /><u>Jon</u>: So they are winding down the moutnain pass when they see eagles and realize that Manse's people know that they are there. JOn has a wolfdream where he sees Ghost being attacked by an eagle and he sees Manse's huge host of army and all sorts of creepy giants and stuff. They try to escape but Halfhand knows they aren't going to so he orders Jon to yield to Mance's people and pretend to break his oaths and join them. Turns out JOn is essentially saved by Ygritte the girl he saved who convinces some guy with a lot of bones to not kill hiim. He ends up killing Halfhand to convince the wildings that he is for realz. So we leave with news that Mance is marching towards the wall and Jon has "joined" their army.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Instert ygritte "i hope this doesnt come back to haunt jon" raisin here. Then insert "i wonder if it will be like gandalf letting gollum live" nut here. then realize this was a classic "Nash Style" nut attempt. great scene, totes din see it coming, jon having to kill the Halfhand! but now hes with the wildlings!!! omgee deep cover commando stylez! gotta stop that Mance!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Eep! Jon pretending to be a wildling makes me super nervous. I don't want them to find him out! I love my some Jon Snow! I was so sad that him and Qhorin couldn't escape!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: This is going to be great seeing the wildlings and Mance Rayder from up close from Jon's perspective!!! </span><br /><br /><u>Davos</u>: Don't know what to say. I think he's dead after the battle with the wildfire. Who knows?!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: i bet you find out in ASOS.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: You can't bet, you have insider information.</span><br /><br />So that's it I think. I'm sure I forgot something and will hear about it through JN Notes. A lot was left in suspense!! To a Storm of Swords!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: as i discussed with cb and zero, i think that the last 200 pages or so of ACOK were great suspense and a good string of plotline climaxes. ASOS on the other hand, is the best book of the series, and essentially hte entire second half of it is one "omgee" moment after another. good luck!!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Try the entire BOOK is one "omgee" moment after the next. Book 3 is like on hyper-drive, and I'm very anxious to discuss it with you. I have some very strong feelings towards happenings in this book.<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: WHO IS ZERO?!?!?! I loved the end of ACOK and I can't wait for ASOS! I keep having to work a lot and not able to sit around and read ASOS for hours every day like I would like to!!! I cannot wait for Book 3!!! I can't wait to learn what made Caryn throw the book!!!!!!!</span><br /></span> </span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-25269882021628347112009-04-08T14:59:00.006-04:002009-08-19T15:14:04.165-04:00A Clash of Kings Entry 12So I finished the chapter with Theon going out hunting for Bran and Rickon. I will say--and you won't believe me probably--that as soon as he started following the wolf tracks, I was like "they're still in Winterfell and this is a trick." Theon is such a jackass. Maester Luwin has convinced him to spare Hodor and the two boys but not Osha. Then he realizes they were leading him on a wild goose chase and he gets pissed. They dont' say it but they suggest that the two are hiding out in the Stark Crypt. Eek. I hope he doesn't hurt them!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I will make no comment regarding any possible nuts or raisins or whereabouts of any Stark children. I will agree that Theon is a jackass tho! </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: for obvious reasons, i am contractually bound to not comment on any nuts or raisins that may or may not exist in this post full of Trail Mix. However, you can bet your bottom dollar that there will be a picture of one or the other in a future blog post...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Nut! I also thought they were hiding in the crypts of Winterfell, probably I guess because it was foreshadowed in this!</span><br /><br />Next to Jon who is out scouting with Halfhand or whatever. They see a fire in the mountains belonging to some wildings and Jon and one other dude go to kill them before they blow their horn to get help. They climb up with some difficulty but catch the 3 people there (they had thought it was only 2) The third is a chick who Jon won't kill! He takes her captive. When the other people join them they tell him to kill her because they dont' have enough to feed her. Jon goes off to do so but then feels guilty and lets her go. I just <em>hope</em> that doesn't come back to haunt them. Kinda reminds me of the scene in LOTR where Gandalf is like let Gollum go, he has some part to play in this tale. Are wildings like Gollums?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Well Gandalf was like, the smartest ever, so mayhaps he knows what he's talking about! The girl wildling's name is Ygritte and she tells Jon an interesting story about Bael the Bard.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: oh Gandalf! how did you know that Gollum would lead frodo and sam to Mount Doom, and that frodo would ultimately be unable to destroy the ring, and that he would need gollum to inadvertently help him do it?!?! you were os wise Gandalf!! I think the Starks need their own Gandalf! as for Ygritte... lets hope and wonder... and perhaps nut or raisin...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Thanks for ruining LOTR for me JN! It is a good thing he let Ygritte go because she will help him live later on! It's not as fun to blog after I've finished the book since I know what happens for the rest of ACOK!</span><br /><br />Sansa meeting with her fool-knight who is totally smashed. She is upset because he hasn't gotten her out yet. He notes that all the ships are gone for the war so there is nothing he can do but once he can he has a friend who will smuggle her out. Also, Stannis has arrived on the other side of the river and both sides are burning things. Just hope the imp doesn't resort to the wildfire too soon! Especially now that there's dragons...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Yikes!! War is almost upon us!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Dontos is like a drunk fraternity brother who hasnt gone to class all semester or studied for the final exam, and now you are counting on cheating off of him as your only way to pass the class and graduate. if i were to make an analogy, id say that sansa relying on dontos is like some kid relying on mm in Trademark...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Her Florian really sort of sucks. I like your analogies JN. </span><br /><br />Oh, and Sansa is a WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No No...she didn't have a bat mitvah. She has begun her flowering. This should be a joyous time for a young woman. Instead Sanasa is scared what it will mean for her and Joffrey. She tries to hide the evidence but they find her and she ends up havin ga heart-to-heart with Cersei who tells her not to fall in love because it's poison (a sweet poison, but poison nonetheless). I hope Sansa doesn't turn out to be a cold manipulative biotch like Cersei. Plus if she does, Robb better watch out cause she'll go after him...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Yes! We've come to my favorite Sansa moment EVER!!! I laughed SO HARD during this scene. Imagining Sansa freaking out, trying to burn her blanket, sheets, and MATTRESS!! I'm laughing now even at the thought of her running amok in her room trying to stuff a feather bead into a fireplace.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: i swear, on pesach, that cb just busted out laughing in bed at like midnite one nite. and i was all "omg whats she laughing at?" and i looked over and she explained it was this chapter, and i was like "yea that was kinda funny i guess" but she jsut kept laughing and laughing and laughing. she couldnt get over how hilarious it was that sansa actually tried to burn THE MATTRESS. in hindsight, i do indeed think this is funny. but, on a serious note, cb's Red Flower is no joke!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I felt so bad for Sansa in this part, I was really afraid they'd like whisk her off to marry Joffrey or bed him or whatever right afterwards, no wonder she was scared!! The burning was a bad plan, she should have tried to bury things!! Also I'm sort of fascinated by how women handled menstruating in olden times and/or Song of Ice and Fire-- like before tampax and sanitary napkins, how did women handle that? Like with RAGS shoved in their pants? And women didn't even WEAR pants back in the day! That sounds messy and not very convenient. I don't even understand how it was handled!!!! So glad to live in the modern age.</span><br /></span></span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-46056109507718174492009-04-07T11:47:00.003-04:002009-08-19T15:04:17.007-04:00A Clash of Kings Entry 11So, because I was stuck at work waiting for fax confirmations until like 11, I did not read much. Only about a chapter and a half :(<br /><br />I read about Tyrion who is getting the city ready for Stannis's attack. He is trying to build up the wall and get the greek fire or whatever ready. He is also burning down this shanty town that has been set up near the wall, which i think is a bad idea. It may be good for the defenses, but what he isn't thinking is that when the people hate you they will help the enemy. As it is he is constantly arresting "traitors." Basically Stannis is gonna come and they're gonna throw open the doors and guillotine his dwarf ass! Also I still haven't learned what this giant chain is. What's the deal with that. Tyrion sends out some of his mountain folk to do night raids against Stannis and is missing them. He has learned about Greyjoy's taking of Winterfell which he thinks is good for the Lannisters (b/c Robb may have to turn north to retake it) but he is kind of sad from his memories there.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Tyrion certainly seems to have a bunch of plans for this upcoming war, a lot of tricks up his sleeves. Too bad he gets no respect! Also...I wonder why the spells for making wildfire are working so much better these days.....</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: The dragons, the dragons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><br />Next Theon is woken up by the mysterious absence of wolf howling. Something is wrong and he goes and Bran and Rickon are gone with Asha and Hodor and the two frog eating folk. Ruh roh. I had to stop here but I fear this may lead to the greendream coming true where Bran and Rickon are killed by Reek or whatever. I am hoping it is something symbolic like in the other greendream and they don't actually die!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Ack! Keep reading!!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Symbolic Bran and Rickon were killed by Reek, luckily, not the real ones!! Phew!!! Those Greendreams sure are open to interpretation!</span><br /></span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-77288425540561159112009-04-06T10:11:00.007-04:002009-08-14T18:43:44.561-04:00A Clash of Kings Entry 10 (Character Edition)So I read slightly too much this weekend to do a chapter-by-chapter blog. As per CB's suggestion, a character-by-character breakdown.<br /><br /><u>Tyrion</u>: He goes to see Myrcella off to Dorne so she can be married. She acts all the noblewoman and doesn't cry. Then on the way back to the castle, my favorite scene ever, when someone throws some pooooooh at Joffrey and there's almost a riot. Um wtf do you expect when you have giant feasts and your people are starving. This will be the downfall of the Lannisters. They're all into playing this game of thrones (get the reference?) but they forget about their own people. Marx would have something to say about this.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: That riot was pretty craaaaaaazy. Good thing the Hound was looking out for Sansa, since no one else was!! They left her out there to be killed!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: who doesnt love to fling poo? stinky poo for a stinky king!!! i echo cb's thoughts on the Hound. good thing he saved our sansamo! also, i didnt get the reference...?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: That Hound is something else, he really has a sweet spot for Sansa!!! I mean seriously those POOR people living in flea bottom and other parts of Kings Landing, they've been reduced to eating RATS, crime is rampant, people are starving, things are in complete disarray and the King isn't helping them at all... Joffrey deserves so much dung thrown at him!</span><br /><br /><u>Jon Snow</u>: After discovering the hidden cache of dragon glass and weapons he makes daggers out of the dragronglass and distributes. This will be important somehow. The other dudes show up finally. Apparently they met some of Mance Rayder's men on the way there and there was a battle. They captured one and were able to question him. Rayder is trying to get some secret power up in the mountains. This is nooooo good.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: And now, Qhorin wants Jon to come along on their next scouting patrol!! </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Nut. we have a nut. dragonglass WILL be important!!! Qhorin Halfhand is awesome. he lost part of his hand, and learned to fight with the other one. Also, we could call mm Mike Halfattendance?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Who hid that cache of dragonglass?!?!?! omg. Jon is getting to be such a ranger!!</span><br /><br /><u>Arya</u>: Excellent excellent excellent scene. Some of Stark's northmen are taken in as hostages by the creepy mummer's men people (whatever they call them). Arya realizes there are more prisoners than Lannisters so if she can free them they can take Harrenhall. She totally "trixxes" Jaqen b/c she gets him to swear he will kill anyone and she names him! To get her to go back Jaqen helps her free the captives. They throw boiling broth over the guards and set them free and they take Harrenhall!!! At the end Roose Bolton (I think?) talks to Arya and like thanks her and she tells him her name is Nymeria and people call her Nan. Ha! (I don't quite get why she doesn't tell them who she is. Couldn't they send word to Robb etc. that she is back). She becomes his cupbearer. Woohoo go Arya!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Weasel Soup!!!!!! I think you've, fortunately, missed out on J's taunting of Weasel Soup for weeks before you actually have any clue what he's talking about. Yes, he did that to me. So yea, this was a great chapter! Arya is down to her last kill, after Jaqen kills Weese! So that "trixxy"Jaqen orders some soup and pours it all over the guards! What did you think of his changing his face? And </span><i style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;">valar morghulis?? </i><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >Anyway, she can't tell Roose who she is cause she still doesn't know who she can trust!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">LB Note: Yes I totally forgot to write about this but I am tottttttttallly freaked out by it! Who sent him?! Lucky for Arya he was there. I always hated how Jaqen spoke in the third person "Man will kill 3 people" so I hope his new personality is better....this valar morghulis thing. What does it mean?!?! I'm very intruiged.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: not much to add, but def one of hte best scenes of the series so far. Weasel soup!!! arya is so great, and how she tricked jaqen. then this added mystery of jaqen and who he is... love it!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: LB stole my color!! SUCH mystery of Jaqen-- but OK tell me if I am reading too much into it here, but didn't it seem like Vargo Hoat's plan was ALWAYS to free the prisoners and that Arya didn't NEED to waste her last kill on this scheme or even do the scheme at all, because that was like the set-up plan all along ANYWAY and Arya just didn't know it? How the prisoners came in acting really wounded and defeated, but ran out of the cells not really wounded at all? And Vargo Hoat was enemies with the guy who was in charge of Harrenhal? And when Arya freed them the prisoners were like expecting it and were like "did Vargo Hoat send you?" It seemed like Vargo was a turncoat all along! And <span style="font-style: italic;">valor morghulis </span>whaaaat!</span><br /><br /><u>Bran</u>: Soooooo terrible b/c the greendreams are starting to come true. Bran wakes up to Theon coming into his room. They have tricked everyone and Theon has taken Winterfell! NOOOOOOO. Bran has to give up the castle to them so people don't get hurt. They end up killing Mikken the smith and Hodor is super upset and screaming Hodor HODOR HODOR! :(. Maester whatever managed to get out a bird though. I hope that Robb can send some people to kick Theon's ass and punish him for being a traitor. Ned raised him! And his own dad hates him! If he had helped Robb he would have had plenty of honors and glory. What an ass. Someone needs to teach him a lesson.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Damn that Theon!! The greendream has come true! The sea has come over Winterfell's walls!! The Maester is Luwin. Theon is sure messed up. Everyone in his family thinks he's been tainted by the Starks and that he's no longer truly their family. He wants to prove that he is, but he's just acting rashly and not thinking things through! He would have been better off if he just followed through on Robb's request. It's better to be on the King's side than against him. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: did lb nut what woudl happen fro mthis green dream? i cant remember.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: RK NUTTED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><br /><u>Catelyn</u>: At Riverun. Brienne ends up pledging her sword to her. Catelyn keeps on getting woken up with word that Lannisters are trying to cross the red fork to get to the castle but the Tully's keep throwing them back. She gets word that her brother has won a big victory. But now the Lannister's are marching south east. Catelyn cannot make herself happy about the victories b/c she can sense something is up.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I don't think I have much to say about Catelyn. I remember being pretty bored with her chapters around this time.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: catelyn on the whole is one of the characters that evokes the strongest and most varied opinions of readers, according to various fan messageboards.<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: LOL so hard to JN's note here. What else happens on A Song of Fire and Ice message boards, pray tell? I am OK on Catelyn, I like her as a character enough, but her chapters haven't been exciting lately.</span><br /></span></span><br /><u>Davos</u>: Ok, this was by far the creepiest chapter so far in all of the books. Stannis asks him to smuggle the creeeeepy red lady into Storms End b/c Renly's holdout is gonna die. Um, Stannis has turned to some baaaaaaaaaad stuff. Davos smuggles her in (btw, I originally typed "Davos snuggles her in..." Something freudian there). And then she is all creepy and she takes off her cloak and she is pregnant and she gives birth to a shadow thing that like goes inside the castle. We learn later from Tyrion that Dude threw himself off the castle wall. Something is totally not cool here and this red lady needs to go for everyone's sake.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Um yeaaaaaaaaa. So Melisandre. isssss kinda creepy. She gave birth to a shadow!!!! WTF! And the shadow looked like Stannis! Just plain gross and weird. And she acts like its just the most normal thing in the world, right?<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: another shadow?!?! does this mean stannis killed renly?!?! for a Lord of Light, this Rh'llor sure traffics in dark arts!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: OK so clearly Melisandre has some magic and voodoo type stuff going on and has control over these shadows that can kill people, and this proves Stannis was behind killing Renly, through the shadow... This is major dark arts for lord of light, I concur with JN! But like IF the Lord of Light and Melisandre have sooooo much power, why aren't they using it more and why aren't they doing better in the war? </span><br /></span></span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-14221258310086451872009-04-03T09:59:00.006-04:002009-07-27T17:21:10.658-04:00A Clash of Kings Entry 9Begin with Jon and the Night's Watch finding this hill ring/base that the first men used. They decide to set up camp to wait there for reinforcements before they go after Mance Rayder. Ghost is freaaaaaaaaked out and won't go in the circle. See when animals are freaked out you know something <em>baaaaaaaaad</em> is gonna happen. Jon also gets a bad sense of foreboding. Eventually Ghost returns and lead Jon out of the circle to a fresh grave. Jon digs it up and finds the clothes and weapons of a Night's Watchman. Eek. This is noooooooo good.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I wonder what Ghost knows! If I had a direwolf, named Patches, I would never go anywhere he didn't like. Afterall, he's just trying to keep me safe! Also, the weapons Jon digs up are no regular weapons...they're dragonglass!! We learned in book 1 that this was what the children of the forest used to use to make their weapons!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: whose grave was it? how did hte weapons get there? what's dragongless?! this little hill fort reminded me of Weathertop in LOTR.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Was it a grave at all? I thought it was just a site where the weapons were recently buried by someone in the Night's Watch. But how did that person get dragonglass weapons? I wish I had a direwolf, I'd name her Cupcake. </span><br /><br />To Bran and one of the frog dude's (that's what i'm gonna call him) greendreams comes true. Maester Luwin brings news that Robb won a big victory but one of the Frey's uncles died and Bran was upset cause Robb wasn't coming home but the Frey's didn't seem to care. Robb went to talk to frog dude who told him of a dream of the sea swallowing up winterfell and certain people drowning (um, I won't make the obvious connection to the Greyjoys here). No one believes him though! Something else happens here but I don't remember lol.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Why won't you make the connection? If you make no connections, you can't make any nuts! What also happens in this chapter - Ser Rodrik returns with a prisoner, Reek, a servant of Ramsay Snow (Bolton's Bastard) who got killed in the scuffle when Rodrik went to help out with Lady Hornwood. Jojen (aka frog dude) has another greendream about Reek murdering Bran and Rickon and skinning off there faces. Oh noes!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: hey, i heard about this big victory. sansa told me! hmm, there was a feast, and bran had hte choicest morsel, but didn't eat it, and the frey's were served a cold dish, but ate it well. trixxy you frogdreamer! ok well, we are noting your "obvious connection" and we'll see whether it comes to nuts or raisins... or dried cranberries, which im eating with sharp white cheddar this very moment. lastly, i CANNOT BELIEVE you failed to blog the second, and even scarier greendream!<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: YUM craisins and sharp white cheddar together sounds DELICIOUS. So I really hope greendreams DON'T always come true and there is a way to change this and the sea does not engulf winterfell and drown everyone and Bran does not have his face skinned off. Also I wonder how the Drowned God plays into these potential drownings. I think its clear Theon has some plan to march on Winterfell and take it over, and so maybe Jojen is dreaming like in METAPHOR and its not the LITERAL sea coming and drowning people in Winterfell, it's the Greyjoys coming and killing people with their armies so its like a metaphorical sea. Maybe Jojen's dreams aren't always literal.<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span></span><br /><br /></span>To Tyrion who is bringing news of Renly's downfall to the counsel. They resolve to offer to marry Joffrey to Renly's widow to get the Flower knight and his people on their side. They end up sending Littlefinger as an envoy which in my opinion is not a good idea because his loyalty to anyone is dubious. Tyrion thinks Cersei is up to something b/c she says something about how she thinks Tyrion is great and kisses him on the forehead.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: That Cersei is a trixxy one - she's never kissed him! What is she up to?? </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: ohnoes! this is terrible news. i hope the Tyrells are smart, and don't make an alliance with stoopid Joffrey and the Lannisters!!! Hopefully littlefinger doublecrosses them. in fact, lets cross our littlefingers and hope for it!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: LOL to cross our littlefingers. Cersei is SO up to something, wish Tyrion had been able to convince her to go and deal with the marriage arrangements far away from Kings Landing. Tyrion has enough on his plate building the chain and training the guard to throw the wildfire and getting all the defense together, while people in the city starve. Sounds like a miserable place to be.</span><br /><br />To Theon who is raiding fishing villages and in a fowl mood. He proposes to some old dude (whose name I don't know) that they go inland and lay siege to one of Winterfell's liege lord's castles. But he doesn't want this castle. He has some scheme in mind and methinks it is to head to Winterfell before his sister. I think this is gonna end bad. They will end up fighting each other brother v. sister at winterfell and no good will come for them.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: That "old dude" is Dagmer Cleftjow, the master-at-arms for the Pyke. That Theon is such a smooth talker, but he's also quite the hothead!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: a fowl mood? or a foul mood? or intended water bird humor? theon dont do it! Ned was good to you! Robb was good to you!! stop attacking the North you dummy!!! your family doesn't even like you. in fact, theon is so dumb and horny, he sort of reminds me of a young teenage mm, trying to chase tail on his mail routes...<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: LB, so Theon is in the mood for chicken or perhaps another choice bird? :) LOL to young teenage mm. Theon is so dumb, he should be loyal to the North and be loyal to Robb, not attack Winterfell his home where he grew up! His own family doesn't even like him! He's just a dumb misdirected hotheaded kid. I hope he's not bringing the sea to Winterfell! </span><br /></span></span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-38735960201817457942009-04-02T09:43:00.006-04:002009-07-27T17:11:58.058-04:00A Clash of Kings Entry 8I start with poor Arya working as a servant in Harrenhall. She has to like clean stuff and serve food...this is no job for a lady!! At least she can practice being quiet as a shadow or whatever. She hears all sorts of rumors and is hopeful that one of the captives can help her escape. She is approached by creepy prisoner dude who she let free during the fire and he tells her he will kill 3 people for her since she saved 3 lives. She is hesitant at first but ends up naming one of the mountain's dudes who is telling a story about how they gang raped this poor girl and like laughed about it. He totally deserved to die but I'm not sure this is a good idea. Vengeance is never good! Justice is better!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: You're right LB, that IS not job for a lady!!! PS, baby don't forget to do the laundry when you get home from work! kisses! Oh, Jaqen. 3 lives she has saved. 3 lives she must pay. Arya gets to start killing off her list!! Bye bye Chiswyck! Jaqen is so sneaky, making it look like an accident. Usually I'm also of the anti-vengeance route, but with Arya, I want her to get her revenge! She gets 2 more lives! Insert JN asking "Oh boyz, I wonder who she'll pick next?!?!"</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: "that is NOT a job for a lady" would be the proper syllable emphasis i believe, ma cherie. vengeance is great, what you talkin bout willis?!? as for chiswyck... ill leave him off my prayer before bed tonite. It sure paid off for Arya saving Jaqen! btw, what's arya callin' herself nowadays? as for what JN will ask, cb gets a raisin, bc i will ask this: "Are the ghosts of Harrenhal real?"</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Arya is calling herself Weasel, like that girl they had with them. Arya is SO the ghost of Harrenhal! Who would you guys pick if you got 3 lives? I'd pick evil terrorists except I'm not sure who they are or where they are or how Jaqen could find them. </span><br /><br />Next to Catelyn who is going to try convince Renly one last time to not fight. Sad little scene where she is praying in the sept to all the seven faces or whatever (btw, always found this to be a good little catholicisms reference with the 7 but 1 thing...Father Mellin please insert an explanation here). She goes to talk to Renly and is waiting for him to get armored when she sees this shadow and OMG all of a sudden someone has slit Renly's throat. I was genuinely GENUINELY completely shocked here. I cannot believe Renly is dead. It's that creepy Red Lady who did it! I know it!!! They first accuse what's her face, ugly knight woman, but Catelyn yells that it was Stannis not her and they end up running away. So two things from this...now apparently Catelyn has ugly knight woman on her side, which is a good thing, and no civil war b/w the Baratheons is good for Robb b/c it let's Stannis march on the Lannisters. I just hope Stannis isn't foolish enough to try march on Robb or something. Also have to deal with the Greyjoy's still. Sigh. It's kinda like a game of risk. The key is the Ukraine, and the Ukraine is NOT WEAK.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Whatsherface is Brienne. Lol at the Risk reference. "The Ukraine is weak. It's feeble. I think it's time to put the hurt on the Ukraine." So, yea...Renly got killed by a shadow!! How crazy is THAT!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: What's this 7 faces of catholocism talk? do explain. we "heart" Risk. let's play next game nite! shotgun Black Army of Australia!!! and fyi, the ukraise IS weak. its bordered by asia and europe, and is a stone's throw from greenland and africa. its a TERRIBLE place to be. the only reason to ever send your army to ukraine is to get some chicken kiev. back on topic, whodunnit?! was it hte Lady in Red? Stannis? one of Renly's guard?! i dunno! glad you were surprised - twisties are good for nutting. this was hard to see coming tho, one of the Kings gettin mucked out pretty early. oh renly, if only you hadn't spent your entire reign feasting and tourneying. LB told you it was a bad idea! i am sure the Tyrells will mourn deeply! <br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: HOW did Renly get killed by a shadow? I mean it was SO the red woman, but HOW? OMG Dave and I are still involved in a game of Risk for like MONTHS ago that we really should finish. My problem with Risk is it like takes OVER my mind and if I'm in the middle of a game I DREAM about Risk and then I can't sleep soundly. Also on an unrelated note, I walked by the store Bolton's the other day, and my natural immediate thought was "Oh Roose Bolton, and his bastard." Sort of like how when Justin texted me asking if I liked tie-dye, my natural immediate response was "Cupcakes? Yes love them!" </span><br /></span><br />Then to Sansa, who is summoned by Joffrey. Turns out that Robb has won another victory and has killed a number of Lannisters. Hazaaaa! Unfortuantely this means that Joff gets his kingsgaurd to beat Sansa. What an asshole!!! They start doing that and then Tyrion enters and tells Joff that he's a jackass. Wooo. He takes Sansa back to the Hand's tower and treats her but she is upset to be in Arya's old room. Tyrion makes some cryptic remark about how Robb defeated his cousin or whatever but that's not his father and Robb should bend his knee. He also says he would not let Joffrey marry her, which is a good thing. She convinces Tyrion to take her back to her room b/c she doesn't want to stay there and also wants to go see her fool knight in the Godswood. I hope he gets her out of there!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: That was nice of Tyrion to save/treat her! Joff is suuuuuuuuuuch an ass!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: gee baby, dont put too much effort into these cb notes or anything... L2spell Huzzah imo, lb. Way to go tyrion! he's just continuing to kick arse and take names. and go Robb! way to keel lannisters! As to Ser Dontos the escape artist, i hope he gets hoppin' on this escape plan, for sansa's sake.<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Put JOFFREY on my To Kill list please. He is such a DBAG. That Tyrion is something else, I find myself liking him even though he's against the Starks, but he's very compassionate and is just doing his best.</span><br /></span></span></span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-16026713330789671132009-04-01T21:18:00.012-04:002009-04-02T16:46:05.494-04:00LOST April 1, 2009ok, now to the good stuff!! for rk tho, antm continues to be infuriating. fortunately, Fo is lookin' hot FO SHO!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I saw the first 10 min of antm so far, havent watched the rest yet, but i am LOVING the dramz this ep! on the whole though, this season is super boring so far.</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCn1ySoQOphV6PmRm6ukuDiQy1KZXE_HQU_sdZhgEAGyX7eTzB1pYUBQprLWRgIRuTWmFGRQMgFtUIf1SDYkQ1NQsI5BNBQl0OTSpGMKWHNpt9etp5uCOu_f81CE4Y3KIclJ3iW9yndUdf/s1600-h/raisin.bmp"></a><br />1:00 - huh. what's matt saracen's mom doing on Lost? shouldnt she be in Dillon, Texas?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I'd like to point out that Justin literally had no recollection of Cassidy.

The woman who plays Cassidy on Lost, is one of the main characters moms on FNL.</span><br /><br />2:00 - cb is going all in for a Kate backstory ep... sounds like a good nut to me.<br /><br />3:00 - omfg sayid just shot ben!!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: .....in the previously on Lost scenes.....</span><br /><br />4:00 - wait didnt that happen last week?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Are you serious? How do you ENJOY this show without being able to remember anything? Over the weekend I saw Arielle's stepbrother and he tried to talk to me about Lost, and he was like "I just can't wait to see how Danielle and Ben meet and wind up getting together!" and I was like "huh?" and he was like "You know, and have Alex together?" and I was like "uh, they didn't HAVE alex together, she's not their biological child, Danielle was pregnant when she came to the island and the Others STOLE her baby when the pillar of smoke came up and then Ben raised Alex, and besides none of that happens for YEARS until the 1980s when Danielle and her french folks land on the Island!" and he was like "But we just saw Danielle land on the island a few episodes ago!" and I was like "they're traveling through TIME, that was a different point in TIME," and clearly he is like not comprehending the BASIC tenets of the show, and I found it very upsetting, and how can he possibly enjoy watching when he clearly can't even follow it! Anyway I am starting to wonder this about you, Nash! Not to that level of appallingness though.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: No offense, but Arielle's stepbrother is kind of an idiot. Just saying....</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: CLEARLY. I was appalled when he revealed this knowledge. Then he tried to talk to me about maybe going to law school. I'm skeptical about how he'll handle law school when he can't follow the plot of Lost. Just saying...</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CB Note: I'm just surprised you found someone who could follow the storyline worse than J!! I mean, even my mom understands more than this kid. And that's saying something!</span><br /><br />5:00 - imo, young ben totally woulda bled out if hes been lying there that long. i think House would agree.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: It just happened. Just because he was shot last week on the show, doesn't mean he's been lying there for a week babe.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">Rk Note: LOL Caryn. Also did anyone see House this week? WHAT a good Ep, and that Locked In syndrome is TERRIFYING!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: We can't watch House live or DVR is cause we have too many conflicts, so we watch on Hulu when it comes up about 10 days after. But, i did hear that the ep was supposed to be excellent with wonderful acting by Mos Def, so i'm pretty excited!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Mos Def was SO GOOD!!! This ep was awesome, lots to be excited about!!!</span><br /><br />6:00 - they looked at all of the security cameras covering the giant perimeter already horace? i dunno... and, if he thinks its an inside job, he'd be interrogating people.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: And what about all the security cameras that they have that shows like EVERY area of the village?</span><br /><br />7:00 - i think roger linus has the hots for kate. BILL IT.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: He totally does. We really saw a softer side of him this episode!</span><br /><br />8:00 - nutted it. he's shouting "that's my kid" at ben. i knew roger was his dad.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Please let this be another April Fools joke...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: PLEASE let this be an April Fools joke.

I personally did NOT catch that reference!!!</span></span><br /><br />10:00 - i just made cb pause to tell me who saracen's mom is. ok, cb says she's the woman who sawyer conned and had his baby. i thought i remembered cb telling me this a week or 2 ago. she met kate and they conned together? i dont remember that AT ALL. i guess it explains why kate is going to see her though - I mean how kate knows her. also, does this have anything to do with sawyer's secret promise that kate wont tell jack about?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Full description of who Cassidy is: </span><br /><blockquote><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:85%;">Cassidy Phillips was a recently divorced woman whom Sawyer conned out of $600,000. After thwarting his usual routine of "accidentally" dropping the briefcase full of money, she asked him to teach her how to con and they spent the next few months working small scams. Once she felt confident in her skills, she asked Sawyer to teach her a long con, and offered her own money as capital. The two of them may have been in love; however, Sawyer still took her money, and left her. After realizing she'd been conned, she set out on the road. While in Iowa, she tried to con people using the techniques she had been taught by Sawyer. Unfortunately, she was not as successful as she hoped. When a man she was trying to con at a service station threatened to call the police, a young lady (Kate) stepped forward and pretended to buy her fake jewelry to help her out. The two got together for drinks at a local bar where Cassidy promised to help Kate talk to her mother, Diane.<br />Cassidy first helped Kate by going to Diane's house disguised as a Bible saleswoman who could easily be mistaken for Kate, so that they could have an idea of how heavily guarded Diane's house was. After being taken in for questioning and eventually released, Cassidy and Kate decided to take a different approach. While in the diner that Diane worked at, Cassidy spilled some food on Diane, forcing her to go to the bathroom where Kate was waiting to talk to her. Afterwards, Cassidy confided her story about Sawyer to Kate and the fact that she became pregnant by him while they were together. However, she never told Kate his name, and the two of them went their separate ways.<br />Cassidy later reported Sawyer to the police, landing him in jail. While Sawyer was in prison, Cassidy visited him and showed him a picture of a baby girl named Clementine, whom she claimed was his daughter. Sawyer rejected the notion that he could be her father, but later opened a bank account in Albuquerque, in Clementine's name, with the earnings from his prison con.</span></span></span></blockquote><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: SERIOUSLY Justin? If we all didn't know already it had to do with what Sawyer whispered to Kate before jumping, I think the "previously on Lost" clips this week preceding the show that SHOWED Cassidy telling Sawyer about Clementine, SHOWED how Kate and Cassidy knew eachother, and SHOWED Sawyer whispering something to Kate before jumping, painted a very clear picture to the audience that DUH, YES, they have "something to do with eachother."</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Exactly! J did not pay attention AT ALL to the previously on clips, which spelled everything out for us.</span><br /><br />11:00 - kate just said sawyer sent her! Nutted it!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: See below.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: And, see above!!!</span><br /><br />12:00 - cb is claiming that we knew this was the promise last season... well i sure didnt! so its a nut for me! i kindly request that she hit "play" again, and continue this debate in the Notes...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Just because you're too dumb to realize or remember totally OBVIOUS things that we ALREADY know, does NOT make it a nut.

I for one would like more Skate scenes please!</span><br /><br />16:00 - isnt it a little odd that roger is upset that ben's been injured? doesnt roger hate ben...?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I mean, he's no father of the year, but that doesn't mean he wants his son to die!</span><br /><br />17:00 -juliet says ben needs jack to be his surgeon!! im pretty sure i predicted this at the end of last week's blog. somebody check. and afterwards, BILL IT!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I'm pretty sure that was me, but I think it is NOT to be billed, and counts as a big fat RAISIN for both of us, as Jack does NOT operate on Ben and refuses to! Which clearly was all preordained to happen in the past because it led to Ben's soul being sold to the Others!</span><br /><br />18:00 - good explanation of back 2 the future time travel hurley. that was for all the dumb people out there who dont understand Lost time travel theory. followed by Miles' good explanation, carrying on the Faraday torch.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I thought the Hurley Back to the Future comment was hilarious, due to pretty much every person watching this season comparing its time travel to the movie.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: HILARIOUS scene! I love that they talked through all the theories viewers have been debating over!</span><br /><br />19:00 - love this sawyer jack showdown on whether to help ben. esp following the miles-hurley explanation of time travel. jack is so dumb tho, ben's obvi gonna live. faraday knows all!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: The Hurley-Miles stuff was just brilliant this week. They took everything that the viewers have been thinking/saying/questioning and put it in Hurley's mouth! When they first started time-traveling, we were asking why people in the future didn't remember meeting them in the past...and that's exactly what Hurley asked!! Why <em>didn't</em> Ben remember Sayid?!?! (Of course this was explained at the end of the ep by Richard all mysteriouslike)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><br />20:00 - jack: "f u kate". i mean, jack: "kate, i aint operating on known bastards for you ever again"<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Jack's such a tool.</span><br /><br />21:00 - whoa, great idea, getting blood from a universal donor. i cant believe kate was the only universal donor in all of dharmaville!!! /sarcasm<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: They didn't ask around tho. She just came and volunteered.</span><br /><br />22:00 - hey, random question: why is juliet acting as the head doctor? i thought she was a mechanic...???<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: They said that the surgeon is at another station for a couple weeks!! Obvi they don't have a second doctor lol.</span><br /><br />23:00 - more miles and hurley lol. it was as if the writers just walked on screen and said: "HEY! Remember in season 2 how ben asked for a certain gorup of people to be sent to the Others... IT WAS ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING IN DHARMAVILLE!"<br /><br />24:00 - cb says he didn't ask for sayid. but anyway, ben from earlier seasons knew our Losties already, as we already established in this blog. way to go us!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: After seeing the rest of the ep, I guess this is a big fat RAISIN! :)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: No Raisin picture? :)</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL8ElTDaZgqO7_JjgNiK1Keb2ZBjRQ1HDKm9uYPXjdnVyO12F3ChUmUuUGOe9WNAE8alje61Y65uI-oXnRX7fk_g8QL225xMyZQbsN0Zr8pOwFyFsm8yme2K2dt3InA8VoHEeHKoNrdRYL/s1600-h/raisin.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319933911072741186" style="width: 166px; height: 200px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL8ElTDaZgqO7_JjgNiK1Keb2ZBjRQ1HDKm9uYPXjdnVyO12F3ChUmUuUGOe9WNAE8alje61Y65uI-oXnRX7fk_g8QL225xMyZQbsN0Zr8pOwFyFsm8yme2K2dt3InA8VoHEeHKoNrdRYL/s200/raisin.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I meant to insert it last night, but was sleepy :)</span><br /><br />25:00 - caryn also again notes how that conversation was for viewers' benefits to explain Lost time travel, as i indicated during its first iteration earlier in the ep.<br /><br />26:00 - whoa juliet just suggested going to the Others for help. whoaaaaaa.<br /><br />33:00 - i was wondering why we were watching that sun holding up ben scene again, and cb brilliantly noted that we apparently are gonna get to see it from everyone's perspective.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: We've pretty much seen if from everyone so far. Only Ben is left, and looks like we'll get that next week! Woot!!</span><br /><br />34:00 - kate looks great in that outfit in the grocery store, amirite?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: She really does! I laughed out loud when aaron changed his mind and didn't want milk anymore but wanted juiceboxes. He is such a cute kid!!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I loved Kate's hair and dress in these scenes.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I know! She was such a pretty mommy! I loved the contrast also, to how back on the island she had a ponytail and was all dressed for dharmaville.</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CB Note: Yes! Especially with the hair. She looks so adult and put together off island. She's obviously grown up a lot since pre-island, you can tell just by how she puts herself together. What I want to know is, OBVIOUSLY, based on juliet's (and sawyer's) hair, they have blow dryers and hair straighteners in dharmaville, so why doesn't kate fix up her hair! It looks so messy, a la her first trip to the island.</span><br /><br />35:00 - who stole aaron?! the juiceboxes??? nope, it was the claire look-alike! again, nicely nutted cb.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Yay CB nut! For a minute I can't lie, when she couldn't find aaron, I was like oh NO is Hurley right, did they do something back in 1977 that changed the past and Aaron disappeared into thin air and now no longer exists, a la back to the future?!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Lol, that would have been funny.</span><br /><br />36:00 - well, cb nutted it 5secs in advance that kate gave aaron to saracen's mom. i considered this earlier in the ep, thinking maybe thats why shes in this ep and all. its just, i thought i remembered it being clearly set up earlier this season that we were meeting claire's bio mom again in the motel meeting the lawyer in order to have a place to leave aaron. cb says that could have been a red herring, unfortunately. shoulda been mah nutzor.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I guessed this as a possibility, as an alternative to all of our prior guesses of Claire's mom. Just to put it out there. They did set it up for Claire's mom, I was just kind of hoping it was too obvious and they'd throw us a switcheroo, oh well.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: RAISIN Nash, for claiming cb nutted something and affirming it as a valid nut, when in fact it was a big raisin, and Caryn clearly knew it was an alternative set up. I had the same thoughts as Caryn noted in her CB nut, above, but it just made SO little sense for Cassidy to want to take on caring for Aaron that I hoped it wasn't really what happened.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CB Note: Thanks RK! You're all over it!</span><br /></span></span><br />39:00 - i bet aaron's gonna grow up to be QB1 now.<br /><br />40:00 - Skate! Suliet! Kawyer! Jawyer!<br /><br />41:00 - nice one liner miles.<br /><br />42:00 - wwhy jack, why! why did you come back! tell us! "because i was supposed to..." -> how Locke-ian. cb thinks the proper suffix is -ish. as in, how Locke-ish of him.<br /><br />43:00 - what's clementine like? I bet she's a darlin'...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: This made me chuckle.</span><br /><br />44:00 -or she's gonna grow up to be crazy, date jim carey, then get her memory erased.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Love that movie!!! :)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Reference is lost on me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. Escellent movie!!!!!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I must see it!! I am guessing her name was Clementine in the movie?</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CB Note: Nut! :)</span><br /><br />45:00 - btw, did you get that clementine joke?<br /><br />46:00 - skate and ben are going to see richard alpert!! has richard met skate in the past? cb notes that he met sawyer in the 70s, and that girl met sawyer in the 50s. oh boy, i hope we get to see it!<br /><br />47:00 - hey, claire's bio mom is on screen! but where's aaron? kate: yes, your daughter claire is alive, and hanging out with the ghosts of dead men who got you preggers who also may or may not be Jacob...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Kate is all "Claire is alive!" whereas I am not so sure! I thought her hanging out in Jacob's cabin with Christian meant she was a ghost and was dead! Usually when people disappear they're dead, right? I would be shocked if they went back and actually were ABLE to find Claire! But this episode set it up as if maybe they WILL!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Well, Kate at least doesn't know that Claire was hanging out with Christian in the cabin. I think as far as she knows, Claire just got up and walked away in the middle of the night when she, Hurley, and Sawyer were coming back from the Others' area. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: That is true, but considering the dangers lurking on the island, I'm not sure where Kate gets such CONVICTION that Claire is alive... Like why would Claire have gone off on her own for so many days and not tried to return unless something was terribly wrong and she were in danger/injured/dead? But Kate seemed very convinced Claire was alive! Maybe she is, I mean I hope she is, but I dunno...</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CB Note: True, she has no reason to think Claire is alive, especially considering how she left. Maybe she was just being hopefuly for Aaron's sake and needed to find out one way or the other. She wants Aaron to be reunited with his really mom! There's definitely a twist with Claire, can't wait to find out what happened to her.</span><br /><br />48:00 - hey, whyd kate decide to go back to the island? wasn't she like kinda set against it? or is this where a scene with the lawyer happened while we were waiting to get on flight? bc i dont think she was goin just to find aaron's mummers.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: She knows that Aaron belongs with his real mom, not her. Also, she loves Sawyer. Skate! Skate! Skate!</span><br /><br />55:00 - what bed is that boy sleeping in?? we need to knwo for nut purposes!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Kate said that he was two doors down (in her hotel). So she did give him to Claire's mom as we thought!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Really Justin, were you not following that Aaron was in bed two doors down in Claire's mom's hotel? What nut purposes are you going for here?</span><br /><br />56:00 - why did he ask "is that benjamin linus"? shouldn't he have known bc ben already ran off?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: He knows who Ben is, he saw Sawyer carrying a wounded boy, so he was like, "oh noes! ben?!" PS, shouldnt him having known Ben's name clued you in to the fact that he DID know Ben, babe?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Sigh.</span><br /><br />57:00 - huh? forget this ever happened? innocence will be gone? always be an Other? but then how would he have known our Losties in the future? and, is this how ben gets super evil?<br /><br />58:00 - and that dude wanted Richard to ask Ellie! mama faraday is like totes in charge of the Others! if Charles finds out?!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Meaning at least Ellie is still on the island in the 70s!!!! (Widmore could possibly be on the island or possibly off - "if he finds out..." could mean either)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ELLIE AND CHARLES IN CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still think Widmore might be Dan Faraday's daddy!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I'm definitely in on the Ellie+Charles coupling and being Faraday's parents and meaning Penny could be his half/full sister! I can't wait til that stuff comes out. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Everyone is so inter-related, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it!!!!!!! Also Jack is Aaron's uncle because he's Claire's half brother, I wonder if Aaron knows that. Poor Aaron, Mommy is gone and so is Uncle Jack. Also, POOR SUN'S BABY, I bet she misses mommy!!!</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CB Note: I love how everyone is intertwined :) And ditto to the wtf about sun's baby. How could she just leave her like that!</span><br /><br />59:00 - Richard's taking him to the creepy ancient temple that possessed Rousseau's shipmates!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. i thought he'd take him to jacob tbh.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I hope Ben doesn't get all possessed and evil like Rousseau's men did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although we do KNOW he gets evil, so... I blame the temple. HOW DOES THE BLACK SMOKE MONSTER PLAY INTO ALL THIS THO?!?!?!!! will Smokey heal Ben?! </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Also cant wait to find out more of the temple of doom. What happens in there?! Obviously something that turns people into Others, since Danielle's men all turned against her and what Richard said that Ben will now always be one of them. Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I know! I wonder if the Temple harnesses all of the Island's magical powers? I bet the Temple was built by like original Other natives who built the four-toed statute way back when. I wonder if the Temple is like a rite of Other initiation. But how come Richard Alpert as an Other seems like a good guy, whereas Danielle's men turned all terrible and the smoke monster spit them out? I wonder if the Temple/Smoke Monster are sort of like the Sorting Hat, and if you're good of heart it turns you into a nice Other, but if you're bad it makes you crazy and evil? That doesn't make much sense given what we know about Ben in the future and stuff, but... I just wonder!!</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CB Note: I feel like Richard is pretty much the only "nice" other, in general. Everyone else has seemed pretty mean (Danielle's group, the guys in the 50s that found Sawyer/Juliet - including widmore, ethan, the other guy who try to kill ana lucia....etc). I wonder if Richard's niceness has more to do with why he's seemingly immortal. He's obviously special in some way and seems to be smarter/calmer than the other Others. </span><br /><br />60:00 - next week looks great. a Ben ep, and JUDGMENT DAY.Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16312656600255942016noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-80451227375811534182009-04-01T21:17:00.003-04:002009-04-03T12:00:19.221-04:00HEROES, April 1 2009JUST KIDDING!!! APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">LB Note: I note only that I watched the past two episodes and they actually haven't been all that bad...<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: I DO have the last two eps on the dvr and do mean to watch them/note them one day in the near future. Maybe on Sat while J is at football lol<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I watched this week's ep. Let me summarize it for you:<br />Claire and Nathan go to Mexcio for a friendly father-daughter tequila shot contest. Meanwhile, Angela and Peter go to church for some penitence and general mother-son bonding. In the third storyline in this show, Sylar is all that is making this show even slightly watchable.<br /><br />ADDITIONAL RK Note from last week's unblogged Heroes: After finding out who Rebel is, the whole Rebel storyline seems less retarded/annoying/lame than I had feared.<br /></span></span></span>Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16312656600255942016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-325654161600661822009-04-01T10:01:00.007-04:002009-07-27T17:05:16.849-04:00A Clash of Kings Entry 8Don't have all that much time today but here goes:<br /><br />Arya is captive and in terrible conditions. Every day they come take one person to torture them and ask questions and eventually kill them. There is this dude, the Tickler, who does all the questioning. Mountain that moves ass dude just stands by and watches. I wonder if they waterboard? They are traveling to Harrenhal and she knows all the names of the stupid people. She will get her revenge and take Needle back!!!!!!!!!!!!! WINTERFELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: *Insert JN listing all of the names that Arya repeats in her head* What's that? I blog earlier in the day so i can TOTALLY steal JN's thunder?? Well alright then...... Ser Gregor, Dunsen, Polliver, Chiswyck, Raff the Sweetling, the Tickler, the Hound, Ser Amory, Ser Ilyn, Ser Meryn, King Joffrey, Queen Cersei.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Thief!!! Thief!!!! Two things: 1) I say this prayer secretly every nite before bed, for Arya's sake. 2) for like 5 days before cb got to this chapter, i would just recite the names on the list at random times, and this would aggravate her greatly... shocking right? She has no sense of humour...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I am changing my font to blue because JN's font is too close to mine, and I yield, like Lommy Greenhands, and we all know how well it worked out for him, I hope my yielding to a new font color fares better for me. Anyway that is SO ANNOYING that JN did that to you CB, that sounds quite aggravating.</span><br /><br />Tyrion in Kings Landing and we learn that Maester Ammon (name?) is the one who poisoned previous Hand dude and also the one who is spying for Cercei. Tyrion gives Cercei the good news that Stannis and Renley are fighting and then slips her something in her wine to make her sick. Ha!!!! He then confronts Maester Spy and has him confess with one of his mountain folk threatening to cut off his manhood and feed it to the crows. Ha! As JN may say, that Tyrion sure is a Trixxy one.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Grand Maester Pycelle is the one in King's Landing who helped with Jon Arryn (the previous Hand's murder) and is spying for Cersei. Perhaps you're confusing his name with Maester Aemon, who is at the Wall. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: How did tyrion figure out that Pycelle was Cersei's spy??? I thought it was pretty clever of him for how he figured it out. I don't understand, why wouldn't he feed the Maester's you-know-what to the goats, like Shagga is always wanting...?</span><br /><br />To Bran who is hanging out with the greenfolk and showing them Summer. Cute seen where he like rolls around with Summer in the grass. Apparently dude has the ability to tell the future in his dreams (we shall call him Angela Petrelli). He starts unnerving Bran with talk of Bran's dreams! Apparently this three eyed crow thing has given Bran the ability but he hasn't taken it yet. They get in a bit of a quarrel when Bran doesn't want to talk anymore and Summer almost attacks but Hodor stops them. Angela Petrelli ends up in a tree! Then Bran goes to Maester what's his face and they talk about how magic doesn't exist. Silly boy magic so does exist!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Lol @ Angela Petrelli :) This Maester is Maester Luwin. He thinks magic doesn't exist just cause he couldn't do it himself! I'm all about the greendreams! They're fun. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: They aren't greenfolk, their from the Neck or bogs. They are called "crannogmen". I prefer Jojen, but if you insist, we will call him Angela. Also, I see that you have not commented on what i instructed you to re-read in yesterday's blog. That means you get a 0 for yesterday's HW assignment. Two more, and you'll be in detention, mister. As for greendreams... the skilled nutter always marks what people are dreaming...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Lol to Angela Petrelli, although Jojen is such a cute name. JN taught me one thing, PAY ATTENTION TO THE DREAMS! So I've been trying... The sea coming to Winterfell is WEIRD, how could that be possible?! I hope Bran doesn't really drown for real. Poor kid has been through enough! </span><br /><br />Back to Tyrion who gets a visit from cousin Lannister who has a command from Cercei to release her Maester spy. Again, we learn new things. Apparently Cercei is now sleeping with her cousin! He is, according to Tyrion, a poor substitute for Jaime. So gross. Cercei needs to like have a genetics lesson and be locked away somewhere far from her relatives for her own good. So freaking gross. Using this information Tyrion turns Cousin into a spy for him. Tyrion is slowly taking control of the entire place!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Cousin Lancel! Cersei sure has a type - Lannisters! </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >PS, I think you skipped over a Dany chapter in your blogging...where she finally gets to Qarth!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: It's not Cersei's fault! Jaime is muckin' captured, and she needs her Lannister lovin'! Also, its Cersei with an 's'. You always use a 'c'. Love how tyrion threatened Lancel and made him Tyrion's own spy. Tyrion may be a dwarf, but he is as badass as Gimli son of Gloin, or Balin, or Thorin Oakenshield himself!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: Cersei is SO into incest. She loves it. Its not as fun when its not twincest though. Cousincest just doesn't have the same ring. Remember in Family Law nash, when we learned that its legal in New York to marry your cousin if its not your 1st cousin?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I indeed missed a Dany chapter of Dany with the Quarthians. Indeed the women wear dresses with one boob hanging out. Oh Quarthians. Dany is put up in this huuuuuuuuge castle and has her one wing. She fears that everyone is just using her for her dragons. She sends Mormont out to get news and they find out that Robert has died. (A little late huh?) She should open up a gmail account so she can get news much quicker. That's all I got.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Qarth, no U. If only that worked in Scrabble! Now you know how far away they are from Westeros if they're only now finding out about Robert! :) Oh, MotherofDragons@gmail.com!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: I've been a sking cb to purchase a dress in the Qartheen fashion for over a month now, but they dont have any at Macys for some reason. Now that she's the Mother of Dragons, she's gotta watch out for people tryin' to use her for their own means. I'm confident she'll know what to do tho. Also, I tried to sign up the account MotherofDragons@gmail.com but it was already taken :(<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RK Note: I can't believe MotherofDragons@gmail.com is taken! The idea of purchasing a dress in the Qartheen fashion gave me an idea-- Let's dress up as Song of Ice and Fire characters for Halloween this year! (Although clearly no one should dress in the Qartheen fashion). I'm not sure what we'd really wear for our costumes, either. Perhaps this isn't my most brilliant idea.</span><br /></span></span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-62886340694171847662009-03-31T09:15:00.005-04:002009-06-29T12:52:28.648-04:00A Clash of Kings Entry 7I did not get a chance to read much but as to what I did read, I have quite a bit to say. Theme for the day: More incest and incestuous overtones. Sigh.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: More incest?!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: sigh?! I believe you are overreacting. I will detail below.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: George R.R. Martin LOVES incest. </span><br /><br />I started with Catelyn meeting with Renley. Essentially, they are at loggerheads because Renley wants Robb to acknowledge his claim and will not accept Robb's proposal for a divided kingdom. He mentions something about allowing Rob to call himself King in the North as long as he still acknowledges Renley's superior claim. Not gonna happen. As the chapter closes we hear word that Stannis has arrived with his host. Brother against brother! Civil War is trying!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Everybody wants to be the king and no one wants to work together!!! Pretty dumb, says I.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Renly*. These stupid kings. They need to realize they gotta unite and kill the evil Lannister twins!!! come on!!! Civil War is ohnoes, but maybe after they will emancipate the peasants, after the General's March to Storm's End... (i was going for a Sherman's march to the sea reference, but it was hard to do :( )<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Thus we have ourselves... a clash of kings</span><br /></span></span><br />Next to Jon at the wall. They arrive at some creepy wilding dude who Mormont says is a friend. They are allowed to stay the night. Dude is creeeeeeeeeeeepy and he has tons of wives, many of whom are his daughters. Father-daughter incest now. Ew. Ew. Ewwww. One of the girls comes to Jon and asks him to save her because she is pregnant with a boy and apparently dude sacrifices the boys to the cold gods...the Others. Apparently they come into the village with their creepy dead blue eyes and he gives them the boys to appease them. Jon declines to help her but there is hint that they will pick her up on the way back to the wall. Well let's hope they manage to get back to the wall at all! Turns out that Mance Rayder (name?) is amassing an army. With all the armies in the south busy fighting each other, everyone is vulnerable.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Ohhh yeaaaaa...Craster! By far the grossest incest! Blehhhhhhhhh. I dont even know how all these daughter don't end up all effed up genetically. Mance Rayder is correct :) </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Craster is the ewwww! But he's a friend of the Watch! and he told them how to find Mance! pretty creepy with all that sacrificing to Others though. Jon better not help, the Old Bear gave clear orders - no talking to Craster's wives! seriously though, as to the icky incesting, this scene displays the different types of incest, contrasting Craster's terribleness with Jaime and Cersei's consensual lovin'...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: OMG EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW to Craster, how awful awful awful, and KILLING the boy babies as sacrifices to the Others... EW EW EW EW EW EW... And the Old Bear <span style="font-style: italic;">knew </span>and hasn't done anything to stop it!!! Mance Rayder will soon march and the South will not be defended properly and the Wall doesn't have enough men to defend it... But where do these Others fit in? These "wights" scare me...</span><br /><br />Now to the coup de grace. Theon. At the waterfront. Starts hitting on this chick. She is all sorts of saucy and he likes her. He "convinces" her to ride to the castle with him and essentially tells her alllll his secrets. Well, turns out <em>it's his sister.</em> She was completely playing him the whole time. EW EW EW she touched him...and ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. We also learn that Theon's dad has plans to march north on Winterfell. With Robb down south it is very vulnerable. This is no good ladies and gents. No good.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Haha, more incestuous undertones! What is up with this author?? Anyway, I totally didnt see that coming. His sister! She's super trixxy, as J would say.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: cou de grace indeed! i can't believe you didn't like this scene. i thought it was LOL fo sho. Asha was funny, and totally played theon. he was being all horny and dumb, and she made him feel like a momo in teh end. which is good, b/c he's failing Robb, esp if Balon attacks Winterfell!!! Robb argued to Catelyn to send Theon, he better not betray! <br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED this!! I guessed she was NOT Sigrid's wife and something tricky was going on, but I didn't nut that she was ASHA right away. I LOVE Asha, I thought this was such a great scene.</span><br /></span></span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725600159785323305.post-31365210722642815962009-03-30T09:24:00.006-04:002009-06-29T12:49:11.561-04:00A Clash of Kings Entry 6First, finished the Bran chapter. They have this big feast with all of the different lords and stuff. It's so unfair that they make an eight year old at like an adult. Some new people come from the neck and pledge to Robb. They are dressed in all green and stuff and they want to see the direwolves.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: So unfair! Bran just wants to go outside and play!!! The green people are Jojen and Meera Reed. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Meera and Jojen are indeed their names. And, perhaps the oath they swore sounded familiar to you? If not, it should have. I suggest you reread.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Uh oh, where is that oath from? I can't remember, I read this chapter so long ago now... They're the ppl in green... There are so many peoples and so many religions... The Drowned God, the God of the Lady in Red, the Old Gods with faces carved in the Weirwood trees, the Gods that are the Others with the cold blue undead eyes, the Gods you pray to in the Sept, the Gods Khal Drogo prayed to... </span><br /><br />Down to Tyrion who is touring the the stores of the alchemists of Greek fire or whatever they're calling it. Greek fire did actually exist. It doesn't get put out by water. He stops to give the city guard dude he installed instructions on how to teach people to use it and intercepts the letter from Bran offering a peace. He brings this to Cercei, who frankly is starting to sound whiny and annoying. She has discovered that Tyrion has offered Myrcella in a marriage and she is not amused. She slaps him at some point across the face when he makes some sarcastic remark about perhaps Myrcella could marry her brother. HAHAHAHA. Then she starts crying and Tyrion is upset that she won't let him comfort her. Oh Cercei, someone needs to smack some sense into you!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Ugh, Cersei is the worst!! The Greek fire is called Wildfire. I don't really have too much to say right now lol.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Don't you know how their are some fires that you are only supposed to put out with a fire extinguisher and not water? its like that! duh. Tyrion is the wittiest, love it! How did Cersei find out Tyrion's planzors?!?? (I can't believe cb didn't nut that i'd ask this question...)</span><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CB Note: No, I thought you would. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: Tyrion has so many plans up his sleeves... That wildfire sounds very dangerous</span><br /><br />Chapter with Arya that I already spoke to JN a little about. Big chapter here. The bull or whatever...he's one of Robert's bastards! They say something about him being a whore's son. Oh Robert with your whores. Also, he apparently knows that "arry" is a girl. Funny scene with him being like "well whip it out then" and Arya being like "I could if I wanted to!!!" Then asshole gets captured and Arya goes to rescue him. Too bad her other companions are morrrrrronnnnnnnns and they at first start screaming YIELD!!! I YIELD!!! Assholes.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: Damn those yielders!!! They totally screwed up her plans! I can't believe gendry got himself caught so quickly, what a newb. He's so not stealth like a cat.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Gendry! The Bull! this is funny for us bc sometime during Game of Thrones you were like "this guy is gonna be important!" then you forgot and were just like there's this guy with a bull horn when Clash of Kings started. At the time, i wanted to write "I wonder who it is!!!! I bet you know him!!" but cb and mm made it be baleeted. So you lost the chance to nut it... Also, this makes it obvi why the Lannisters wanted him! as to the scene, the dialogue cited was certainly lol. And i loved all the yielding. how'd that yielding work out for Lommy Greenhands?<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I nutted who Gendry was early on!! Can't these people learn that yielding just gets you killed!!!</span><br /></span></span><br />To Catelyn who is traveling to bring message to Renly. She gets there and they are apparently having a tourney! This is war you fools don't have a tourney!!! Somehow knight of flowers dude gets beaten...and by a woman! At one point Catelyn makes some comment about how the biggest tragedy in the world is an ugly woman. I lol'ed on the subway. I end with her going to a feast and watching Renly and about to go talk to him. Wonder if something good can come of this!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >CB Note: That was pretty funny by Catelyn - an ugly women is pretty unfortunate in a world that makes beauty important!<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">JN Note: Hey now! They don't call her Brienne The Beauty for nuttin'!!! oddly, cb still swoons over Ser Loras, despite him losing to Brienne. as to the tourney during war.... thats renly for ya!<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">RK Note: I want to be the Kurth of Flowers, I want a cape made of flowers soooooooooooooooo badly!!! </span> </span><br /></span>Lawrence Bluestonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15574463210303950596noreply@blogger.com0
