joliefaire March 28, 2014 Share March 28, 2014 So, the first four episode titles are confirmed. Titles for various other episodes are floating around, but I haven't seen an official confirmation of them, as yet. The first 4: 1.Two Swords 2.The Lion and the Rose (episode written by GRRM) 3.Breaker of Chains 4.Oathkeeper Everybody's thoughts on what the titles might refer to? Link to comment
mad_typist March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 I have a strong idea what each episode title is referring to, but that's because I've read the books. This is going to be a tough thread to read if you want to stay unspoiled. Link to comment
joliefaire March 29, 2014 Author Share March 29, 2014 Should/could the thread title say Spoilers? Can I, who started the thread, add that? Sorry, I'm brand new here. At other forums, a Mod would come along and tag the thread as Book Spoilers, which leaves everybody free to discuss and speculate. Just not sure how its done here. Link to comment
mad_typist March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 I modded the title to have the spoiler tag. My guesses (spoiler tagged for now): 1. Two Swords - I'm actually not sure on this one. Probably a catching up episode of some kind for new viewers. Probably the introduction of the Martell family. 2. The Lion and the Rose (episode written by GRRM) - The wedding of Joffrey and Margaery. One I'm really really looking forward to seeing for obvious reasons. 3. Breaker of Chains - Probably Dany liberating Meereen (at least for now) 4. Oathkeeper - I assume the title refers to Jaime and/or Brienne. Probably the episode where Jaime gives Brienne her sword and charges her to seek out Sansa and Arya. Link to comment
Carrie Ann March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 For Two Swords, I assume that's in reference to the swords Tywin had made for Joffrey and Jaime after melting down Ice (Widow's Wail and Oathkeeper). So I guess it'll be some of the pre-wedding machinations, maybe meeting Oberyn? Link to comment
joliefaire March 29, 2014 Author Share March 29, 2014 (edited) Thanks! Episode 1 seems a quite sad title to me--it may refer to other issues, but it certainly refers to Tywin Lannister melting down Ice, the symbol of House Stark, into two swords, to be given to two lesser men. The Stark patriarch, matriarch,first-born heir and potential grandson are all dead, all at Lannisters' hands. The younger Starks are scattered and rootless. Their ancient proud home is burned and destroyed. And now, the last great symbol of House Stark is to be melted down and handed over as gifts to---two Lannisters. Grrrr, the North Remembers... Again, I'm brand new here, but do we need to add spoiler tags to posts in a thread that's already designated a Spoiler thread? LOL, one's head hurts trying to figure out the ins-and-outs of the various different forums, but of course, I want to do the right thing! If a thread title is labeled 'Spoiler', doesn't that mean that posts can and will be spoilery, without tags? Whatever works here, I'm happy with it...

Prospero March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 It looks like a Russian VOD service (!) has accidentally leaked ALL episode titles for Season 4. Have fun. Link to comment
joliefaire March 29, 2014 Author Share March 29, 2014 Those are probably all true--they've been wafting about for a bit on the web, but not yet confirmed by HBO. The Children? I assume that'll be Dany's entry into Meereen? The Mountain and the Viper. Gonna break my heart, for real. Link to comment
Haleth March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 Could The Children refer to the Children of the Forest? Will Bran's storyline move that fast? (I guess it would have to if Coldhands isn't in it.) Link to comment
mad_typist March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 Could The Children refer to the Children of the Forest? Will Bran's storyline move that fast? Given how fast that kid is growing, you almost wonder if they're going to "Walt from Lost" him - accelerate him getting to the far north and becoming a living tree person or whatever, and then basically writing him out until they need him to come back. That would give them the right amount of time passed on the show before they have to address his size. Again, I'm brand new here, but do we need to add spoiler tags to posts in a thread that's already designated a Spoiler thread?

If a thread title is labeled 'Spoiler', doesn't that mean that posts can and will be spoilery, without tags? I spoiler tagged my responses at first because I wasn't sure if you intended this thread to have spoilers when you put it up. But in general... if there are spoiler tags up, you don't need to spoiler posts within that thread. I just did it out of courtesy. But now that we're all clear, and the thread is appropriately tagged, I won't spoiler tag my stuff in here moving forward Link to comment
joliefaire March 29, 2014 Author Share March 29, 2014 mad_typist, I think you're probably exactly right about what they're going to do with Bran. I saw some photos from the London premiere and wondered 'who's that tall young man over there in the plaid sportscoat and weird orange shoes...' Yikes, its Bran! Re the Russian episode titles, I wonder what those numbers superimposed on each photo mean? Anybody? Link to comment
Ffiferoo March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 The numbers seem like air dates to me, but maybe they're more exciting than that! It seems like Bran will go quite far this season into ADwD territory, as Bloodraven has been cast. I think Dany will be getting to Meereen quite early - they seem to be going straight there this season, and certain scenes are all but confirmed by casting and I think some Twitter posts. I think that title is probably most related to the Children of the Forest, although I'm sure that's not the only connection. Link to comment
joliefaire March 29, 2014 Author Share March 29, 2014 Re CotF, I believe you're right. I remember now that Octavia Alexandru has been cast as 'Leaf.' It'll be interesting to see what the show does with the Children--Octavia is such a graceful, tiny elfish child. Looking forward to this!! Link to comment
Prospero March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 Re the Russian episode titles, I wonder what those numbers superimposed on each photo mean? Anybody? Those are dates when the episodes shall premiere in Russia. April 7th, April 14th etc. Due to the different time zones it will technically be the 7th on April in Russia when season 4 premieres in the US, so they obviously aren't allowed to make the content available until then.

joliefaire March 29, 2014 Author Share March 29, 2014 (edited) Aha, makes perfect sense, thanks! ETA: I found this 'chart' at another website, thought it was pretty funny. It refers to Episode 2, 'The Lion and the Rose.' http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v651/joliefaire/chartdeathsinGoT.png Edited March 29, 2014 by joliefaire 3 Link to comment
RapBert March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 Really looking forward to episode 2! As for the other titles: "First of His Name" probably refers to Tommen getting crowned. Since the Mockingbird is the symbol of Littlefinger, I presume that episode will be about his business with Sansa and Lisa Arryn. Ep. 8 will be great, as well as Ep. 9. This is shaping up to be a great season since most of the highlights of ASoS will be shown. Link to comment
Vikitty March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 Wow, I haven't read the book in a while so I didn't remember that the purple wedding happened quite so quickly! Also I'm embarrassed to admit I only just realised why it was called the purple wedding a few weeks ago. Shhhh. Link to comment
joliefaire March 30, 2014 Author Share March 30, 2014 Re the Purple Wedding, here's a little vid about 'the making of...' Interviews with chefs, etc, talking about how they put it all together. Lots of yummy food! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69idqVUyCe8 Link to comment
Vikitty March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 I always marvel at tv shows where they actually get to eat the food, but then again I'd be like wow how sick would you be after ten takes? Link to comment
Haleth March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 Love how the vid is all about setting up the scene, how opulent and exotic, with nary a hint of what is to come. Link to comment
Joystickenvy March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 The Lion & the Rose should be glorious, but The Mountain & The Viper......:( Link to comment

mac123x April 2, 2014 Share April 2, 2014 (edited) I always marvel at tv shows where they actually get to eat the food, but then again I'd be like wow how sick would you be after ten takes? On one of the S3 DVD commentary tracks, the actor who plays Ramsey Snow commented the you could notice during the scene where he's eating sausage, his bites get progressively smaller as the scene progresses. Emelia Clarke gave a sympatheitc response, reminding him that she had to eat a horse's heart in S1. It was hysterical. Edited April 2, 2014 by mac123x 1 Link to comment
