Originally posted by The Mighty 6 platoon View PostSpoiler:Jon's scenes north of the wall, which they shot in Iceland, the riot in King's Landing, I've seen behind the scenes video of that being filmed, it looks like it could be a huge scene, Theon attacking Stony Shore then Winterfell, Dany at the House of the Undying, Arya and the uprising at Harrenhal, Renly's demise in the next episode and the chaos in his camp afterwards (again some spoilers suggest this will be a big scene), as well as Blackwater.
there will be plenty of epic stuff. I mean the problem they have is that while they have a huge budget, one of the largest for tv, they just have so many massive scenes to film.
Spoiler:I didn't know they set aside $40 million for the Blackwater. That's mind-boggling. I'm looking forward to the riot. Another chance for Tyrion to berate Joffrey is always a good thing. That riot with Myrcella's departure was one of my favorite moments with Tyrion actually.
But a moment I'm really looking forward to will be coming in season 3 (or 4 depending on when they place it in the narrative): Arya getting Needle back from Polliver and then stabbing the Tickler over and over again with it, asking him the same questions he asked when he was torturing his victims in this episode. That was bloody cathartic and I absolutely loved it.sigpic

But I just like to emphasize that the half a budget, $40 million thing is a rumour and not confirmed. It is probably exaggeration. But the scenes with 400 extras fighting, the big walls, siege engines etc, are not just rumour, they appear to be confirmed, since Neil Marshall the director talked about that in an interview in a film mag.
And they have still sunk a hell of a lot of money into that one ep, they added 15% more to the budget, or around $10 million, so they could do Blackwater properly. The most expensive episode of tv ever is currently the Pilot of Terra Nova, which cost $20 million. I'd expect Blackwater to match or exceed that though.
Also in a previous trailer I mentioned trailers where you could a glimpse of Blackwater, then promptly forgot to post them. Anyway in both these trailers you get a glimpse of the fighting yet to come, and it looks huge.

Thought this episode from start to finish was great. Think we needed the Joffery scenes to show what a warped character he is. Glad to see Daenerys has finally reached some sort of santuary cant wait for her to show some power. As I haven't read the books not sure what happened in the cave, what did she give birth to ???sigpic

What melisandre gave birth to....seems kinda open to interpretation, but also not. A shade/shadow, I suppose at best it could be called a creature of dark magic. A 'ghost' that murdered Renley. (Following her and stannis shagging on the map table, did he know what he was participating in? Or did she trick him? Does he know what she did? Or does he just think it's a coincidence?)
I'm sure others have interpreted it 'better' or differently but I see it as dark magic or evil...she allowed/talked him into fratricide.
