loras_renly | episode reaction : tell me how you feel.

After you have watched-along at our flawless affy comms (give some love to

game_thrones!), come share your thoughts about Renly and/or Loras scenes and developments in this episode:

~1x07 You Win or You Die~

I will go first (because I have no willpower and I have already seen it last week)!

Gethin was amazing, all Renly's insecurities and convictions were all over his face. I was so PROUD of Renly's speech to Ned. He started out really nervous but then he went from zero to hero. "Stannis is not a king. I AM. Do you still believe good soldiers make good kings?" (finally, Loras' subliminal suggestions pay off!) YOU GO RENLY COCO. I'M PROUD OF YOU. LORAS IS PROUD OF YOU. EVEN LITTLEFINGER IS PROBABLY PROUD OF YOU SOMEWHERE AS HE PINES FOR NED'S WIFE WHILE DIRECTING A PORN MOVIE.

Sans Ned bashing (I love my Starks!), his dismissal of Renly was one of his biggest tactical mistakes. Clearly, the hands-on war experience doesn't live up to its hype when it comes to battles of another kind. All he did was to eyeroll as if Renly was a child speaking out of turn. THWARTED BY DOUBLE STANDARDS AGAIN, NED. If this were an episode of Survivor, you would have already been voted off the island!

MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHERE THE HELL IS LORAS? Gathering the rainbow posse? Sending ravens to Papa Tyrell? Recovering from the reunion sex? DISCUSS.

EVEN LITTLEFINGER IS PROBABLY PROUD OF YOU SOMEWHERE AS HE PINES FOR NED'S WIFE WHILE DIRECTING A PORN MOVIE.
OOOOOOOOOOMG That was such a strange scene! Him talking about such things while directing two women on how to please their payers! haha He really is a pervie pervXD

All he did was to eyeroll like Renly was a child speaking out of turn.
Well, he kind of really is a child speaking out of turn in Ned's eyes. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have the right, and a damn fine point to make^_^

(Personally, I'm just glad that we get to see Jon Snow and the happenings on the Wall in this episode. I've missed him!)

Also, Robert's death is REALLY sudden, and goes by REALLY fast... it irked me. Does it work that way in the book, too? I haven't gotten that far.

I hate how this episode ends, btw. Littlefinger! GAH! This show is too good at these cliffhangers u__________________u

Robert's death was even shorter in the books! And rather matter-of-hand. Two-three pages from the time Ned learns about it till Robert dies in his sleep.

What the show cut was that a couple of days ago, while Renly was hunting, Loras had wanted to go on a hunt of his own - for Ser Gregor - but Ned refused him because it wouldn't have been justice but vengeance. And sent someone else while disapproving of Loras' flawless fashion sense. Varys eyerolled about how Ned fails at basic politics - making enemies of the Lannisters while making no friends with the Tyrells.

GAH, ASOIAF CLIFFHANGERS, I can't handle them. I also love Jon and his wall posse, his presence makes up for Loras' absence!

They should *not* have cut that scene out. I can totally imagine Loras stepping up for that quest and Ned shooting him down (in typical Ned fashion).

I'm also loving Jon and the wall guys. I look forward to his scenes every ep, haha.

Speaking of Finn's twitter, it's getting famous:
