S3 Blu-ray review hits, reveals details on deleted scenes and more
Blu-ray.com has released the first review of Game of Thrones: The Complete Third Season on Blu-ray. As usual, the set earns high marks for its technical aspects, such as picture and sound quality. They also say that the show is really, really good. But you all knew that already, right?
Perhaps of more interest to hardcore fans like us, are the details on the special features that this review has revealed. I’ve block-quoted the details on the two more anticipated features: deleted scenes and the Histories & Lore. Check out the review for a full run-down.
Deleted and Extended Scenes (Disc 5, HD, … minutes): Five scenes are available: “Jon Meets Mance,” “Edmure, Robb and The Blackfish,” “Tywin and Pycelle,” “Small Council Discusses Wildling Threat” and “Jon Thinks About Escaping.” Each one is well worth watching and could have easily been retained had time allowed. “Tywin and Pycelle” is particularly good…
Histories & Lore (Disc 5, HD): The third season’s animated “Histories & Lore” videos — specifically those pertaining to Westeros’ history and mythology — cover everything from the Battle of Qohor to the Vale. Segments include:
Old Ghis & Slaver’s Bay (Jorah Mormont )
House Reed (Meera Reed)
House Bolton (Roose Bolton)
House Frey (Catelyn Stark)
House Tully (The Blackfish)
The Lord of Light (Thoros of Myr)
Wargs and the Sight (Bran Stark)
The Red Keep (King Joffrey)
Robert’s Rebellion (Petyr Baelish and Lord Varys)
The North (Jon Snow)
The Reach (Margaery Tyrell)
The Riverlands (The Blackfish)
The Stormlands (Brienne of Tarth)
The Westerlands (Tywin Lannister)
The Vale (Petyr Baelish)
Winter Is Coming: Great stuff! The deleted scenes should be interesting. Looking forward to seeing more of Mance and the Blackfish, especially. And it’s great to see that they continue to expand the roster of actors who are narrating the Histories & Lore features. Jack Gleeson as Joffrey narrating the Red Keep history should be particularly fun.
