Game of Thrones: Das Lied von Eis und Feuer Blackwater (2011– ) watch online HD

George R.R. Martin wrote Tyrion's sentence "I'll lead the attack" in the script only once. It was Peter Dinklage's idea to say it twice: once quietly to himself and once so all the soldiers could hear.

This is the first episode of the series to take place in a single location (King's Landing) and at the time of its airing, featured the smallest number of main/recurring cast members.

In the early stages of development for season two, the Battle of Blackwater was to take place mostly off-screen for budgetary reasons, with only the scenes of Cersei Lannister and Sansa Stark in Maegor's Holdfast. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss successfully lobbied HBO for an increased budget to film the battle.

This is the second episode written by George R.R. Martin, following on from Game of Thrones: The Pointy End (2011).

The song "The Rains of Castamere" was written about the Lannisters' crushing victory over the rebellious House Reyne of Castamere and House Tarbeck. When House Farman of Faircastle grew truculent, playing the song at Lord Farman's hall was enough to make him reconsider his position.

First time vocals are heard during end credits.

According to the novel, the battle of the Blackwater took place by day.

Pycelle describes the Essence of Nightshade, which he gave Cersei, as "dangerous as it is efficacious". This is the second reference in the show to the writings of John Holbrook Vance, the science fiction author whom George R.R. Martin greatly respects, and the second time Pycelle refers to Mr. Vance, following Game of Thrones: What Is Dead May Never Die (2012). It's no wonder that word (efficacious) made it into the script, as Martin adapted this episode himself.

Highest billing for Charles Dance throughout his time on the show.

The episode won 2 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (One-Hour) and Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series.

This was Roy Dotrice's final acting role before his death on October 16, 2017 at the age of 94.

This episode was Peter Dinklage's submission in the Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category in the 2012 Emmy Awards- his second nomination for the show.

At the brothel, a prostitute compliments Bronn for his singing voice. Jerome Flynn, the actor who plays Bronn, actually had a career as part of a singing duet, alongside Robson Green. Their biggest success was a UK chart number 1 with a cover version of Unchained Melody.

The episode title refers to the Blackwater Bay, the location where the featured Battle of the Blackwater takes place.

Roy Dotrice plays the pyromancer. He also reads the "A Song of Ice and Fire" novels on Audible.

In order to pull off the effect off the Wildfire, petroleum jelly was fired from catapults into the water, and turned green in post-production as Neil Marshall claimed this would be "the easiest way of doing it".

The soldier who nearly killed Tyrion was Ser Mandon Moore, one of the Kingsguard. According to the novel, his blow horribly disfigured Tyrion's face, scarring and slicing most of his nose. The novels do not reveal who sent Moore to kill Tyrion.

Five of Davos' seven sons participated in the battle - Dale, Allard, Matthos (played by Kerr Logan), Maric and Devan. Devan, who serves as king Stannis' squire, is the only of the five who survived. Davos' youngest sons Stannis (named after the king) and Steffon were safe with their mother Marya at Cape Wrath.

Due to shortage of time and budget, the producers had to condense the scene of the battle: among other changes, the chain was omitted, and "Renly's ghost" was portrayed by Loras Tyrell rather than by his brother Garlan.

According to the novels, it was not Loras Tyrell but his brother Garlan who wore Renly's armor, in order to scare the more ignorant of Stannis' soldiers by making them believe that Renly's ghost came to fight them. When asked, Loras explained that Renly had been taller and broader in the chest than him, so his armor was too loose on Loras, but it suited Garlan well.
