DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	Runners and riders up. One point for a correct guess, point total doubled for guessing exact mode of death for your joker / special play pick.
Shemson 04.27.16	I like what you did with the album choices man, I tried similar in my season 6 prediction list! My predictions for four deaths are- Theon/Reek to die heroically in an act of partial redemption. I'm calling this my joker. Ramsey to be killed in a battle against the Starks/unified north/army probably including wildlings because Jon Snow Alliser Thorne killed very soon when Jon Snow rises maybe mauled by direwolf, more likely killed by Snow himself 'for the watch' High Sparrow to be killed in furious Lannister revenge attack involving a huge civil war in Kings Landing and Ser Robert Strong killing all kinds of bitches
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	Shem you already did this? Damn missed that
Shemson 04.27.16	Nah man I didn't do a death pool, this idea is cool! I did a storyline prediction list before the season started. It didn't really pick up any pace though and just became a discussion thread really, check it out though man.
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	Will do. If anyone has better suggestions for any of the Album Cover picks then I'll check them out too
tempest-- 04.27.16	Roose Bolton Yara Greyjoy Walder Frey Gilly - her front teeth grow through her head like Lisa without braces
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	oh no Gilly flower
Shemson 04.27.16	I hope Stoneheart makes a long awaited appearance to kill Walder Frey. That would be sweet. Don't be mean to Gilly though :(
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	I'm not a book reader but I think leaving out Stoneheart is genius - the writers only wanted one surprise resurrection and kept it for the more important character Jon Snow, two would have seemed super silly on TV...'oh, who's coming back from the dead next?'
Shemson 04.27.16	i agree with that actually Doof. I also think that with how the show has rarely focused on the Grejoys or the Freys it wouldn't have really had any impact in the show. It would've been like 'ok there's zombie Caitlyn killing a bunch of people who I haven't even learnt their names yet' similar to the reaction to the deaths in Dorne in episode one.
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	It would have been funny forcing Michelle Fairley to 'do her best zombie acting' in every single scene she's in for two seasons or so though :D
Shemson 04.27.16	It was funny enough that Kit Harrington was something like the third billed star in the credits for the opener and played a corpse for the entire episode! Let's see if he can lay on a table for longer than the mountain at the start of last season!
anat 04.27.16	Everyone in Dorne via burnination
Mesm277 04.27.16	I have a feeling Jamie's days are numbered
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	anatelier - I'm interpreting your prediction as the Sand Snakes are going to die horribly in a fireball
Shemson 04.27.16	All sand snakes dying in some kind of fireball is a wonderful vision.
UpwardSpiral 04.27.16	I think I saw his hand move while he was lying on that table.
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	Anyone believe we'll see any of these 60 shuffle of this mortal coil as early as episode 2?
anat 04.27.16	Specifically I was thinking of Drogon but I don't know how logical that would be. I reckon Thorne could be offed in ep 2 or 3.
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	A second prediction of someone being offed by Drogon - going to be a busy dragon this season
Shemson 04.27.16	Yep Thorne in the next episode is a good shout, hopefully not but quite possibly Davos dying to save Jon Snow and certainly a couple of Jon's loyal watchmen are in danger. You could also see Theon dying if Sansa has anymore dramatic moments before getting to safety and I don't think it'll be too long before some religious folk start getting offed in Kings Landing.
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	I'm picturing "Shame..............shame............shame............" [splat]
Shemson 04.27.16	Cersei told her like three times that her face would be the last thing she sees before she dies so that really HAS to happen
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	Ser Robert Strong/The Mountain zombie squeezing her head in the old vice grip until it pops most likely with Cersei watching on
anat 04.27.16	Actually, what's the name of the bitch who only says "Confess"? Let Drogon at her too
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	anatelier - that's the one, first 'confess' then 'shame'
Shemson 04.27.16	head pop would be nice
anat 04.27.16	I bet if Cersei is the one to kill her, she'll tilt her head and say "shame..." as she draws her final breath
tempest-- 04.27.16	haha obviously I was joking about Gilly for my #4 I'll say Daario Naharis will die by sacrificing himself so Jorah can live
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	Tempest I preferred your original prediction
Shemson 04.27.16	Haha that would suck for Daario if he sacrifices himself for Jorah and then in Jorahs dying moments he shows him he has greyscale anyway hahaha. I think Jorah is a gonna this season too tbh
Shemson 04.27.16	He will probably get a sweet moment where Danaerys forgives him first though, then die.
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	They'll kiss and Drogo will just flame grill him in a fit of jealousy
AngryJohnny 04.27.16	High sparrow (hopefully) Alliser Thorne (hopefully) Samwell Tarly Jorah Mormont and as a wildcard pick - Jamie Lannister
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	AngryJ - the wildcard is picking the mode of death for one of your top 4. Keep Jaime just suggest how you think he'll drop
UnderTheNorthernScar 04.27.16	"High sparrow (hopefully)" Pope Francis will definitely kick the bucket this season
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	From these votes its looking like Sparrow and Thorne are toast
AngryJohnny 04.27.16	Ah right should have read the description! I'll get rid of Jorah and nominate Jaime to be poisoned by somebody from Dorne or something
wwf 04.27.16	shame nun thormund -killed by thorne during the way-too-super-late jon snow rescue attempt jorah theon this almost feels like cheating since the story necessitates all of them to die practically, and likely fairly soon. theon will die soon since he's already redeemed himself to sansa and it's game of thrones so it's not like we'll get to see him stick around long enough for the years of therapy he'll end up needing. but watch me be wrong about all of them and they'll all die in season 7 or smth.
Shemson 04.27.16	Man if a great in depth character like Jaime dies from poisoning from the fucking sand snakes I'll be so pissed
Shemson 04.27.16	I agree with wwf that Sparrow, Jorah and Theon's deaths seem necessary now. Especially Theon like where else is his character really going to develop now other than going out saving someone with more to give. Not sure about Thormund though, he's a bad ass and could survive everything to be the king of the wildlings
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	Iron Born are going to feature a lot this season apparently and I thought the ultimate redemption for Theon would be leading them again against one of his enemies so they could still do something else with him...? I agree they'll probably kill him instead though :D
wwf 04.27.16	Yeah I added Thormund just to not feel horribly lame tbh
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	yeah, I'm tempted to just take the 4 guess limit off and just allow people to go to town to get some riskier picks the spread isn't too bad so far
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	Surprised no one has gone for Sweet Robin of the Vale or Tommen
BallsDeep 04.27.16	Who i want to die: half the cast but partiularly Sweet little robin of the vale who i think reastically will pay the ultimate price this season: reek, alliser thorne, jorrah (obv), brien, jamie.
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	Balls I'll cut jorah as Brienne and Jaime are the more interesting picks - want to take a guess how one of them will snuff it...?
tempest-- 04.27.16	Robin will be an incredible knight don't you remember the training he did in that one scene
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	worked for Pod in episode 1
tempest-- 04.27.16	lol dont know why i laughed so hard at "hit by a car" right now
BallsDeep 04.27.16	Brienne - mauled to death by a bear. Jamie - slain in a duel by the newly knighted and widely feared Robin of the vale Reek - not sure how but its definately coming. the man watched another man eat his own dick with a a knife and fork for fucksake, you dont come back from that.
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	Balls I'm putting your Jaime description up as that's the one that tickled me
UnderTheNorthernScar 04.27.16	Nah Jaime won't die this season. or Tyrion. but I have a feeling Cersei might and maybe even jorrah
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	Updated, nice spread of votes now
UnderTheNorthernScar 04.27.16	I reaaally hope robin gets impaled this season
Nikkolae 04.27.16	Tommen Baratheon - Death in battle, even cersei herself talked about her 3 children dying Ramsey bolton - at the hands of Reek Theon Greyjoy/ Reek - wounded by ramsay, bleeds out to death Yara Greyjoy - at the hands of her uncle Euron as he also kills his brother Balon. Wildcard: Melissandre - at the hands of Davos once he finds out what he did to Shireen
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	Updated Nikkolae I took off Theon/Reek as you put in 5 votes and he's got a load of votes already - your other votes were more intriguing
Shemson 04.27.16	Oh Nikkolae that is a good shout with Melissandre! I never thought about Davos killing her but that makes sense.
Shemson 04.27.16	Also fucking lol'd at High Sparrow getting hit by a car.
anat 04.27.16	Imagine if the whole show concluded in the same way Holy Grail did
DoofusWainwright 04.27.16	Yeah, just when Tyrian, Dany and Jon are finally all about to get on their respective dragons
Shemson 04.27.16	Haha that'd be the ultimate fuck you! Then GRRM comes out as one of the cops at the end and just smiles at the camera and says 'now you'll have to wait for the fucking books after all hahahahahahaha' and fade to black.
DoofusWainwright 04.28.16	Voting still open
wwf 04.28.16	'Imagine if the whole show concluded in the same way Holy Grail did' I wouldn't even be mad, that'd be gold
DoofusWainwright 04.28.16	Now with added 'Fat Walda with child' Can't believe I missed her
DoofusWainwright 04.28.16	Nice symmetry with Samwell at 1 and Fat Walda at 61
anat 04.28.16	The ultimate bookends
Shemson 04.28.16	Haha the Walda-Adel combo is savage
DoofusWainwright 04.28.16	Had to be Adele
Titan 04.28.16	jesus christ i watch the damn show every week and can't remember half of these names
DoofusWainwright 04.29.16	List now has added Hot Pie
Shemson 04.29.16	Haha imagine Hot Pie coming back to the show just to get killed? Surely there is absolutely no purpose for him to ever be in it again though with where Arya's at and with Gendry just rowing about. Also album art for Ghost should surely be Ghost-If You Have Ghost You Have Everything
DoofusWainwright 04.29.16	it's good but I wanted a wolf on the cover
tempest-- 04.29.16	seriously Gendry is never coming back I don't know why everyone goes on about him. Davos told him to get away from westeros, so he did. end of story.
DoofusWainwright 04.29.16	tempest - who is Little Finger's 'handsome young man' he promised the Queen of Thorns? (thought there was a small chance it could be Gendry) - Loras? - Tommen? - Lancel? - Gendry? - Little Robin? - someone we haven't been introduced to yet?
JokineAugustus 04.29.16	Thorne Mellisandre Ramsay Bolton A super long shot, but I'm gonna say The nights King dies in season finale.
DoofusWainwright 04.29.16	Jokine I'll put him up there...
DoofusWainwright 04.29.16	Jokine - how will The Night's King snuff it?
BallsDeep 04.29.16	Davos killing Melissandre would be quite unexpected (which is actually why it could happen i guess) but i feel that her arc and role in the world is far from over (not just the hopeful reviving of jon) because theyve built her up for so long and we've yet to see her do a hell of a lot besides pumping out the apparition that killed whatshisface . Also do we know if stannis is really a goner? Usually they'd show us the killing blow on camera which makes me wonder if Brienne didn't just chop the man some firewood and be on her way.
DoofusWainwright 04.29.16	Stannis is definitely dead Show creators confirmed it, it's written on the show website that he was killed by Brienne too
Shemson 04.29.16	I'm starting to feel like it would be hilarious if Daenerys died and it'd be exactly the type of shit GRRM would be pull. If they are genuinely only going to do one more season with 7 episodes only after this then they are going to seriously Rush Daenerys' time with these Dothrakis then she's gonna rush back to fix her city then rush over to Westeros and save the world. Just a thought.
BallsDeep 04.29.16	^Yeah no shit. Her storyline has been incredibly tedious and dull for the most part too, at this point i wouldnt mind if they got rid of her especially since she has stated that she will not be doing anymore nude scenes. I wonder if Tyrion realized that there's only a season or two left of the show when he made that comment about not sailing to Westeros anytime soon.
anat 04.29.16	If the show ends with anything other than the White Walkers taking over the world, it will be disappointing
DoofusWainwright 04.29.16	I don't find the Dany story boring - it's a ticking time bomb. She's got all those flying people barbecues and madness runs in her fam. I always thought she'd go batshit with Drogon and need taking out...maybe by Bran warging into Drogon or something lol
Shemson 04.29.16	I thought Dany was great in series 1, a bit boring series 2, awesome in series 3 right up until the iconic 'dracarys' moment but since then she's been boring I agree. I really hope this new arc back with the Dothraki will liven things back up again.
tempest-- 04.29.16	"at this point i wouldnt mind if they got rid of her especially since she has stated that she will not be doing anymore nude scenes." wow. although i suppose what can i expect from a user called "BallsDeep"
JokineAugustus 04.30.16	"Jokine - how will The Night's King snuff it?" The Dragons most likely, with Bran having warged into one.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 04.30.16	Bran Stark. he's so incompetent that even as a cripple he manages to slip and fall on his own boner, impaling himself through the throat and then chokes to death on his own gargling blood.
DoofusWainwright 04.30.16	Potsy I wanted a full set of four 'death by boner' predictions Do dragons/white walkers have boners and if so just how lethal
DoofusWainwright 05.01.16	Updated, will take any last minute predictions before tonight's second episode
JokineAugustus 05.01.16	I'm not a big Bran fan, but I feel like his story will be more important this season.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.01.16	"Do dragons/white walkers have boners and if so just how lethal" dragon boners will fuck you up. white walkers have nice cocks but cold to the touch. i dont know how much you want a frost bitten pussy but i can tell u its better than a dragons scaley two pronged dick blade lacerating your inner organs.
Nikkolae 05.02.16	well, seems i got it right with balon greyjoy there, that scene with walda man, just ugh
ZippaThaRippa 05.02.16	"its better than a dragons scaley two pronged dick blade lacerating your inner organs." This is what the English language was made for, you glorious fucking bastard
ZippaThaRippa 05.02.16	Roose Bolton was way too crazy and paranoid to go out and die like a bitch like that. Lame-o
Trebor. 05.02.16	Last week's episode was probably the worst of the whole series but man this episode was great
Trebor. 05.02.16	man, posty trying to be funny is maximum cringe
ZippaThaRippa 05.02.16	Trebs tryna front like he didn't giggle a little bit is SUPREME cringe
wwf 05.02.16	tempest killin it so far also no one had fat walda, damn
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.02.16	"maximum cringe" the fact that you say shit like "maximum cringe" makes your moms vagina hurt every time she remembers you're the best she could do i watch this show every week
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.02.16	and yet
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.02.16	who the fuck are like 90% of the people on this list
BallsDeep 05.02.16	Melissandre's secret was by far the cruelest thing the show has pulled on its males audience thus far
tempest-- 05.02.16	man I knew I should have picked Balon instead of Yara. My thoughts were that if they offed Yara then Theon would be Balon's only heir. There's still time I guess.
DoofusWainwright 05.02.16	Just watched this - dropping like flies. Props to tempest on that Roose pick Fat Walda and child was a dead cert looking back
ZippaThaRippa 05.02.16	Balon was obviously gonna die Euron's back bitch
DoofusWainwright 05.02.16	Yeah, he was too obvious a pick for me to go with old, hated, infirm, talks shit - you're going to die
ZippaThaRippa 05.02.16	Calling it now: George R R Martin will die before the Winds of Winter is released.
hal1ax 05.02.16	ya i mean have you seen pics of george lately? dude looks like he could go any second
DoofusWainwright 05.02.16	I can't put him up I just can't
Shemson 05.02.16	We all know Balon was going but I was not expecting the Roose, Walda and baby Bolton combo! Absolutely savage that scene with the dogs. Loving season 6 so far AND they didn't drag out the resurrection for more than two episodes!
Shemson 05.02.16	Also we got our first glimpse of the Frankenmountain in action!
DoofusWainwright 05.02.16	Shem getting the resurrection out the way was genius choice Going to miss Roose - no Roose and no Tywin feels strange Think this has been the most solid start to any GoT season
DoofusWainwright 05.02.16	I should do a separate Frankenmountain kill count poll
anat 05.02.16	I really hope Theon is somehow able to get revenge on Ramsey
mifzal 05.03.16	*****SPOILER WARNING***** fuck reanimation, i'm sick of these Frankenstein plots on TV now. and i'm not talking about Mountain
DoofusWainwright 05.03.16	Mif - they have the same plot in the book and this storyline has been coming ever since they introduced the concept back in season 2
mifzal 05.03.16	but thats just sloppy writing, we have seen this reanimation spell stuff too many times. if Jon snow came out as a walker i'd be much satisfied.
Ignimbrite 05.03.16	"we have seen this reanimation spell stuff too many times" there's a reason they included the BWB/Thoros subplot in season 2, broski.
Ignimbrite 05.03.16	oh yeah, and I'll bet that Thorne will die in the next episode or two. he'll be executed by Jon, but right before it happens they'll both come to a mutual understanding where Jon gets why Thorne did what he did and Thorne accepts and respects that Jon has to execute him.
Shemson 05.03.16	Thorne will definitely be killed and tbh they've always had a bit of a mutual understanding as they always fought for what they believed was right so yeah they'll probably talk about it. What will be REALLY interesting is what Jon decides to do with Olly. Does he kill him too or is he spared his life? That will be a big decision for Jon.
DoofusWainwright 05.03.16	Olly should be tied to some sort of siege weapon a la Mad Max
Shemson 05.03.16	I think we all know that regular Jon Snow would spare him... What will be interesting will be to see if he's any different in his decision making after death...
DoofusWainwright 05.03.16	Same decision making as that Ser Robert Strong/Mountainstein dude
anat 05.03.16	EP 602 made me realise that the only arc I really care about is that of North Westeros
Shemson 05.03.16	I think it's the best one right now with the impending Ramsey threat, white walker threat and Sansa arrival but Tyrion with dragons is cool, Arya's story still has potential, Bran is finally gonna give the show some backstory like the books do, the Greyjoys will finally get interesting now and even Danaerys could end up interesting again... Basically I'm loving all of series 6 so far except for the sandsnakes and they weren't even in the last episode thank fuck!
anat 05.03.16	I was lumping in the Iron Islands with North Westeros cos I assumed it was somewhere up there. And Tyrion with the dragons was badass, but I'm really indifferent to the Dany and Dorne arcs.
Shemson 05.03.16	I'm willing to give Dany another chance this season. When the odds are against her she's always been great like in series one having to become a Dothraki queen and in series three when she was negotiating for the unsullied. It's when she a trying to rule that she's boring so maybe now she's in trouble it'll be more interesting.
DoofusWainwright 05.03.16	'The Wall and beyond' used to be the most boring plot and King's Landing easily the best - wouldn't be surprised if it all changes by the end of this season. Will any of the players still be stuck in the North with the impending winter/white walkers?
Shemson 05.03.16	Yeah agreed Doof. Sad to say that with Tyrion, Joffrey, Tywin, Baelish, Varys, Oberyn etc etc all dead or elsewhere there not too much left in King's Landing other than a war against the faith militant and seeing who's left between Jaime, Cersei, Tommen and Margaery. Also hopefully we get some more of Olenna Tyrell who is a brilliant character every time she's on screen.
DoofusWainwright 05.03.16	Olenna would make a top 10 GoT character list for me - along with Tyrion, Tywin, The Hound, Stannis, Joffrey, Jorah, Little Finger, Varys and maybe Bronn. Roose would have been up there too. You see that list and most have been written out or likely to snuff it soon so hopefully others step up.
Shemson 05.03.16	Yeah man good list! I'm looking forward to the expected return of The Hound and I can't wait to find out what the hell Little Finger has been doing for the last series or so since he dropped Sansa off! Stannis was the man, shame that it seems he's really dead. Every time Briene is on screen I'm willing her to say how she spared him to run off and save Sansa or some shit
Shemson 05.03.16	We will know for sure when Briene delivers Sansa to the watch as you know Davos or Mel will ask after Stannis
ZippaThaRippa 05.09.16	That scene with Arthur Dayne was absolute wish fulfillment at it's best. As someone who grew up reading the books I think they couldn't have pulled that off any better. Perfectly summed up how much of a badass that guy was. Legendary stuff. OOH LORDY, SWORD OF THE MORNING
tempest-- 05.09.16	well all those that picked Thorne get a slice of the pie
ZippaThaRippa 05.09.16	Also, I have to say it is pretty incredible that Pycelle has lived throughout this entire series. He's probably the most useless and universally disliked character (by the other characters) and yet he seems to keep on keeping on. Good for you Pycelle, you keep enjoying your golden years.
ZippaThaRippa 05.09.16	RIP Thorne. Probably the goodest 'bad' character. Respect.
ZippaThaRippa 05.09.16	COME ON GUYS LET'S TALK ABOUT IT
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.16	samwel and bulimia from skins need to die
ZippaThaRippa 05.09.16	She was great in Skins you heathen. Also she had anorexia.
ZippaThaRippa 05.09.16	bulimia is where you induce vomiting. Anorexia is better for TV.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.16	i never said Bulimia was bad in skins bruh i loved her in that show she just sucks in this
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.09.16	sorry Anorasaurus is what i meant
ZippaThaRippa 05.09.16	To be fair I think she does as much as she can with her character. Not much to be said for a 2-dimensional inbred weirdo.
ZippaThaRippa 05.09.16	Sam reminds me of that friend that we all have that has terrible luck with women and when he finally scores a girl who is interested in him he full on commits immediately because he's paralyzed by the fear of missing his one shot
ZippaThaRippa 05.09.16	Or maybe we don't all have that friend and I'm just friends with a couple of fucking losers. Which is likely.
anat 05.09.16	Read a theory on Reddit regarding Bran's potential ability to impact time. Someone asked: "If this is true, then the question becomes: what's the critical event in the past that Bran affected that led us to where we are today? There's no way such an immense ability does not come back in the grand scale of the story." "He will see Wylis about to get kicked by a horse and yell "HODOR!!!" trying to warn him (fail) and that's where Hodor got Hodor from." It just makes perfect sense
Shemson 05.09.16	Oh god that is good Anatelier. It doesn't really make sense in separate timeline theory though really because the first time he tried to warn him he wouldn't have known to call him Hodor?
Shemson 05.09.16	Another great episode btw, this season is as good as any so far. If the main events rival red wedding, viper and the mountain, Hardholme etc. then this will be one hell of a return to form!
anat 05.09.16	Well it's my understanding that Bran isn't completely actualised when he's visiting the past, he's an onlooker. If the young Ned Stark heard him, however faintly, it means that his voice is permeating time. So it'd be current Bran, who knows Hodor as Hodor and not Wylis, shouting "Hodor" on instinct, and Wylis hearing (however faintly) the word Hodor before suffering head trauma. I also saw an idea of the voices in the Mad King's head being those of Bran, who in an effort to change the course of time ends up beginning the chain of events that Game of Thrones stories. And a similar theory of trying to alert himself at the tower of Winterfell to not intrude on Jaime and Cersei, and inadvertently drawing their attention to him, thus being the cause of his own paralysis.
Shemson 05.09.16	Man if they do a good job with this storyline it could be amazing. I've been craving a show with timeline shenanigans since Fringe which is top 5 GOAT TV IMO.
DoofusWainwright 05.09.16	Finally watched this...another really strong episode. Sword fight at the Tower of Joy was perfect Poor Raditude : (
tempest-- 05.16.16	Moro and Osha deaths in the new ep but no one had picked em.
wwf 05.16.16	kinda hard to pick osha when she hadn't even really shown up for like three seasons
tempest-- 05.16.16	yeah i honestly wasn't even expecting her and rickon to appear at all this season
Shemson 05.16.16	Another strong episode overall, this season is so much better than the last. Good effort from Osha but that was never going to work in this show, when Ramsey goes it'll be a big event. Little disappointed with the final scene... Seemed a little to fairy tale for GOT.
Gyromania 05.16.16	K... So um, can daenerys control fire or something, because those deaths were ridiculous. She knocked over a few torched and the place was engulfed in flames in like 30 seconds. Were they surrounded by gasoline or something
Tyler. 05.16.16	I'm on like episode 3 of 4 of this season but it's so bad lmao
DoofusWainwright 05.16.16	One excellent death (Osha) and one hilariously bad death (not Khal Drogo dude). Ramsay clocks up yet another kill too, good werk
Valkoor952 05.16.16	This season is the definition of meh.
klap 05.16.16	gyro, oil was in the braziers + entire hut made of dry wood = toasty
Shemson 05.16.16	The thing that bothered me about the ending was that Danaerys is not supposed to be fire proof. GRRM said himself that she only survived the birth of the dragons because of the black magic that she was exposed to by the gypsy which effectively caused her miscarriage and Drogo's vegetative state. I figured they was done with now? It was a one time deal? It certainly seemed that way. Anyway, doing the same special move twice is kinda lame, like if the mountain went round crushing everybodies skulls by putting thumbs in their eyes or Ramsey cut the dick off every prisoner he had it loses impact and excitement. Other than that though I did enjoy the episode again.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.17.16	dragon lady has weird boobs
DoofusWainwright 05.17.16	that would have been CGI, she had nude scenes written out of her contract
DoofusWainwright 05.17.16	Shem I disagree, if the Mountain refused to kill anyone by any method other than pushing his thumbs through their eye sockets that would be the best thing ever
hal1ax 05.17.16	Lancel is gonna die soon. once civil war breaks out in kings landing with the sparrow dinguses
RadicalEd 05.17.16	"that would have been CGI, she had nude scenes written out of her contract" Srsly? Lol. Thought the episode was strong, but the finish was a bit to cheesy, like the whole danny storyline, since Khal Drogo died she has become just a bit too untouchable/godlike for my liking. I really dug the Sansa/Johnny reunion and the Tyrion storyline finally gave him some fitting conflicts and intrigue to play with. The greyjoy storyline finally seems to pick up again as well with Theon finally getting back to his senses. Can't wait for fucking Ramsey to kick the bucket though, he is just soooooooo played out.
Shemson 05.17.16	Haha yeah fair play Doof maybe. Btw she has come out and said that was all her in that nude scene. Apparently she didn't want to be contracted to doing pointless nude scenes for the sake of it but she was well up for this one as scripted!
RadicalEd 05.17.16	"Btw she has come out and said that was all her in that nude scene. Apparently she didn't want to be contracted to doing pointless nude scenes for the sake of it but she was well up for this one as scripted!" That sounds much more reasonable than being like: "Nope. just cgi it."
hal1ax 05.17.16	ya ramsey needs to go. that char has become so trite and predictable. as soon as osha walks in that room ur like wow wonder whats gonna happen here.
RadicalEd 05.17.16	Exactly, can't wait for John Snow to kick his ass.
Faraudo 05.17.16	I actually thought that he would torture Osha for at least a couple of episodes.
DoofusWainwright 05.17.16	hal1ax - I'm thinking a lot of characters in Kings Landing are going to snuff it before the season is out...maybe as many as 8 on the list
DoofusWainwright 05.17.16	Faraudo the show creators are a in a no win now - people hated the extended Theon torture and the Sansa rape so I guess they'd have thought having three episodes of torturing Osha would be even more unpopular. I think he killed her off quick after hearing how skilled/manipulative she was from Theon and just thought 'I've got the main toy in Rickon, I can't turn my back on this one and she's a waste of energy anyway, I'll just get my jollies from giving her a sniff of hope and killing her personally'
RadicalEd 05.17.16	I'm thinking Ramsey and the High sparrow are more or less guaranteed to go down. The High Sparrow is 100% overplaying his hand, and Cersei WILL get him.
DoofusWainwright 05.17.16	A lot of people are already saying this season is moving too slow, I find its moving a little too fast if anything (a lot of these deaths are a 'hi again, it's been a while' scene...then a 'oh, so soon, bye then' exit with no real tension or new character development in between), but it shows its a tough balance to strike
DoofusWainwright 05.17.16	Ed I think the High Sparrow will come down but he's canny and it won't be easy and he'll take a lot of people with him Ramsay is doomed, anything else would be a genuine shocker - but again I'd expect up to 7 or so characters on this list to die in the battle for winterfell/the north. As long as Little Finger comes up smelling of roses all is good - he's got to square up to Varys mano e mano before the end
RadicalEd 05.17.16	Agree, the Osha scene in particular was like this. But I can see were the "too slow" people are coming from. Tbh the show has become a little to clogged up with to many storylines and characters and most episodes have pacing problems because of this. (obviously this is due to the books, but books have a very different pace and can easily handle this) But the reunification of Sansa+Brienne/Snow+Melissandre, Theon/Yara and soon (I think) Daenareys/her whole posse, seems to indicate, that the writers are aware of this and are trying to unify the narrative a bit.
DoofusWainwright 05.17.16	I still think the build up to the Red Wedding was the peak of this show. As a non book reader I had no idea what exactly was coming but there was this slow building tension that mistakes were being made you just couldn't quite tell when the wheels would fall off. I understand its hard to build something with that sort of pacing again, plus the audience are wiser now, but that was truly impressive
Polyethylene 05.17.16	"the whole danny storyline, since Khal Drogo died she has become just a bit too untouchable/godlike for my liking" well in the books she gets diarrhoea so there's that
Shemson 05.17.16	Agreed, the lead up to the red wedding was top tv, I can't think of any show that came close to that cold feeling you were left with when the episode finished. The fourth series also had a lot of great moments too and was probably my favourite overall as the third series set up so many events that were ready to go.
Shemson 05.17.16	Haha yeah, nothing like getting the shits to remind you that you're not a god
Polyethylene 05.17.16	4th season was best season this one is shaping up to be p good
RadicalEd 05.17.16	I mean overall, all seasons were very, very good. But the 5th season was def. the weakest (too much stannis/melissandre BS, aryas storyline goin downhill, Tyrion/Varys mostly wasted, too much Ramsey, but hey at least John Snow stuff was cool) and the 6th is looking way stronger so far, even though the first episode was decidedly meh.
DoofusWainwright 05.17.16	'Daenerys Stormborn, the Unburnt, Khaleesi and queen, Mother of Dragons, slayer of warlocks, breaker of chains, lady of the unending shitbreaks, daughter of brown trickles...' Could have worked ok on the show
mifzal 05.17.16	^Daenerys can be very annoying sometimes. and that line is getting cheesier.
anat 05.17.16	I have a feeling that the Sparrows will be ruling King's Landing by the end of the season. Potentially with the Lannisters dead.
DoofusWainwright 05.17.16	There's a double cross going on somewhere in that Kings Landing plot - they used the Lannister 'Castamere' theme over those scenes, shits going down, think the Tyrell's will fall first
anat 05.17.16	I think the High Sparrow is orchestrating a plan whereby the Lannisters distract themselves with the Tyrell double-cross, and he'll take the city as a result.
klap 05.17.16	my gut feeling is that Margaery is going to be killed as an indirect result of Cersei's plans even tho that's obviously her intention
Crymsonblaze 05.17.16	Margaery - She'll get caught in the inevitable crossfire between the Lannisters and the Faith. Tommen - He'll feel responsible for above's death and off himself, driving Cersei insane. Cersei - She'll go nuts from the above and Jaime will fulfill the prophecy via mercy killing / anger. Ramsey - Jon's gonna stab him in the face and feed him to his own hounds. Come and see.
DoofusWainwright 05.17.16	Ever since Margaery first started her Lady Di 'people's princess' routine I had a feeling she'd get strung up for being a rich bitch
Shemson 05.22.16	New episode leaked early, more deaths to add. The last scene is the most powerful of the season so far, not gonna lie, close to tearing up, powerful tv.
p4p 05.22.16	hodor = hold the door = mindblown
Shemson 05.22.16	It was such a moving scene and the way it was cut was absolutely perfect. It's moments like that which the show will always be able to do better than the books IMO. I'm a sucker for moving background music and fair play to the actor who plays Hodor again for managing to portray so much emotion with no script.
riffariffic7 05.22.16	Ramsey, Loras, Lancel, Kevan, Pycelle, Grey Worm, Missandei, Tommen, Davos, Rickon, Septa Unella, The High Sparrow and Walder Frey (along with the rest of the people that killed Robb Stark and his family/friends/followers). I could see them shocking me (as usual) with some bigger names, though that depends on how they're gonna pace this story out towards the end. For instance, are we going to see Cersei's trial by combat this season? Events like that will obviously involve a great death toll.
Shemson 05.22.16	I think Cersei's trial by combat will be Cleganebowl finally here for the world to see. Episode 7 is titled 'The Broken Man' which is probably about how The Hound was put back together by the priest. Saying that though I was totally wrong in my guess of why this last episode was called 'The Door' though so what do I know!?
riffariffic7 05.22.16	@Shemson - Not sure who "The Broken Man" would be referring to, though I sure hope you're right. I'd love to see Cleganebowl be done during episode 9 or 10, but I'm pretty sure that Jon Stark/Targaryen vs. Ramsay Bolton will be saved for episode 9. Hopefully we see the return of The Hound/The Gravedigger this season, I'm also holding onto the hope of seeing Coldhands, Thoros of Myr and Ser Beric again (along with the awesome guy using the bow and arrows).
ZippaThaRippa 05.22.16	Coldhands has been skipped over. Benjie ain't coming back
PlatonicMushroom 05.22.16	Hodor! :'[
anat 05.22.16	Holy shit, that ending was so tragic (in the best way)
adr 05.23.16	rip hold the door
Nikkolae 05.23.16	RIP Hold The Door, goddamit that has been one of the sadest scenes ever alone with what happened to shireen, fuck You Bran this was all your fault
BlackLlama 05.23.16	Fuck that was intense!
tempest-- 05.23.16	deaths this ep are Hodor, Summer (Bran's dog), Three Eyed Raven, but again no one had em picked.
SitarHero 05.23.16	"White Walker Hodor RIP Westeros" I lol'd.
wwf 05.23.16	First David Bowie then Prince now Hodor why 2016 whyy
Gyromania 05.23.16	ending was sort of cringe lol
smaugman 05.23.16	stupid dog
Tyler. 05.24.16	That whole nonsense with hodor was just awful lmao
Crymsonblaze 05.24.16	nah ur dum
anat 05.24.16	Young Hodor's performance was great tbh
Tyler. 05.24.16	It felt so forced. Like that just kinda thought of it on the spot
Tyler. 05.24.16	Patiently
mifzal 05.24.16	last season was a dragging bore, I hope they keep the pace in this season like it started. its really good.
rockandmetaljunkie 05.24.16	I hope every single stark will die
Polyethylene 05.24.16	incredibly sad and beautiful ending to last night's episode
DoofusWainwright 05.24.16	HOLD THAT FUCKING DOOR YOU LUMP
hal1ax 05.24.16	"White Walker Hodor RIP Westeros" hahah. and ya i kinda liked the ending, and the back story about the white walkers. brans story line has been interesting this season.
DoofusWainwright 05.24.16	Just to say predictions are welcome in the thread but won't make the board for obvious reasons - these were pre season predictions
RadicalEd 05.24.16	Can somebody explain me too me how that Hodor scene worked? How was bran able to control the Hodor of the present through the Hodor of the past?
klap 05.24.16	time travel bruh. it's all circular
klap 05.24.16	smh @ Tyler itt
RadicalEd 05.24.16	I hate time travel stories tbh. (not gonna lie, that the ending was super dramatic, if a bit cheesy, but it had me glued to the screen)
Tyler. 05.24.16	It didn't make any damn sense
hal1ax 05.24.16	bran can embody/possess certain entities with his greensight ability, which is how he controls hodor. in the vision, i don't think he is controlling hodor, he is just present in a moment in hodor's past. i thought it was interesting how the white walker king was able to see and touch bran in his greensight vision.
hal1ax 05.24.16	he wasn't controlling him in the present through his past, either. he was just caught up in another vision / moment in time, and had to gain consciousness from it before he could control present hodor.
DoofusWainwright 05.24.16	Has Little Finger stitched up the entire North of Westeros? Has Varys stitched up the whole of South Westeros? I'd like to think so...
hal1ax 05.24.16	actually idk if thats right i need to rewatch that bullsjhit
RadicalEd 05.24.16	But he was watching "past" hodor, AFTER "present" hodor already got up and started to do things, which would imply that he could either do that through past hodor or that "present" hodor got up on his own or that Brann can simultaneously watch "past" hodor and control "present" hodor. None of these three options really gel with what we know about Branns powers right?
hal1ax 05.24.16	ya i had the timeline reversed in my head. i just rewatched it and am now also confused
RadicalEd 05.24.16	Dayum, that was not the intended outcome of this conversation xD Maybe we'll get additional clarity about Branns powers with the next episode. Maybe he became the 3 eyed raven and gained additional powers.
hal1ax 05.24.16	bran is in his past and hodor is unable to move, and then all of a sudden his eyes do the white flicker thing, and then bran is like able to subconsciously control him? i don't see how it would be conscious
hal1ax 05.24.16	maybe he can control things while embodying them, but he didn't move hodor until he became aware that he needed to move when he heard Meera yelling at him from outside
klap 05.24.16	ed the last thing you said is the truth. his power has grown. he can visit the past while controlling someone else in the present
RadicalEd 05.24.16	klap, that seems the most reasonable explanation, but I still think it was shot a bit confusing.
hal1ax 05.24.16	"The Three-Eyed Raven advised Bran to listen to Meera’s voice and pleads to warg into Hodor, which now echoed in their vision. Bran saw a young Wylis and warged into him, resulting in Bran warging into present-day Hodor as well. Hodor, in control of Bran, assisted them in their escape out the cave. " - GoT wikia
RadicalEd 05.24.16	Ohkay, so according to the GoT wiki he did warged into present and past at the same time
klap 05.24.16	yeah i guess it's confusing to show that in a visual medium. probably easier to understand when the books get around to it but def much more effective dramatically on the screen
Polyethylene 05.24.16	Bran had to go through past-Hodor in the dream to control present-day Hodor. Past-Hodor's young, fragile mind short-circuited under the pressure of being a conduit across time and space What is confusing about this?
Polyethylene 05.24.16	If that wasn't obvious you're a moron
hal1ax 05.24.16	and it is seeming like as his warg powers gain, his presence becomes stronger in his clairvoyant visions or maybe the white walker king just has the power to see him in his spectral shamanistic weiner form
RadicalEd 05.24.16	The blocking of the scenes doesn't really add up to that, because "Present" Hodor already starts acting on Branns behalf way BEFORE "past" Hodor breaks and before he does that weird eye-flickering thingy.
InFlamesWeThrash666 05.24.16	Stop killing the damn direwolves
hal1ax 05.24.16	so bran, in his dream of hodor's past, wargs into past hodor, giving him control over present hodor. then, the scene where bran has to plug the doorway using hodor, echoes backward, affecting hodor in his past. i guess his convulsive fit as a child was a premonition caused by how bran used him in the future, making bran responsible for hodor's condition. seems a bit convoluted lol
adr 05.24.16	Hodor
DoofusWainwright 05.24.16	No one predicted the winning combo of: Hodor - killed by holding a door open Surprised at that
RadicalEd 05.24.16	I wonder how the translators of the show to different languages will deal with that whole hodor=Hold the door shit.
PlatonicMushroom 05.24.16	Swedish hodor will be hådör so that's close enough In most languages i reckon they'll just have skip it. The important part of the scene is that it was bran who fucked him up, not that 'hodor' has a hidden meaning
SitarHero 05.24.16	Can I just point out that Hodor's death is probably the first meaningful and not completely senseless death on the show so far? Joffrey excluded. Maybe a sign of good things to come on the show.
tempest-- 05.24.16	it really reminded me of when the wildlings first attacked the wall and those 3 nights watch men held the tunnel against the giant, one of my fav scenes of the whole show
DoofusWainwright 05.24.16	Sitar I actually like that the show is less trope heavy when it comes to killing characters - in real life people die randomly/meaninglessly
Rowan5215 05.24.16	in real life people don't die randomly for shock value to keep people watching week by week though - watch the Sopranos if you want to see how the meaninglessness of death can actually be done well on TV
DoofusWainwright 05.24.16	well Row it is a time of war in GoT so there are going to be violent deaths
RadicalEd 05.24.16	"Can I just point out that Hodor's death is probably the first meaningful and not completely senseless death on the show so far" Stannis. Robb. Eddard. Catelyn. Tywin. Shae. Khal Drogo. Pretending stuff like the Red Wedding were "just done for shock value" is just malarkey.
MO 05.24.16	what I find odd about this last episode is like Meera can only carry Bran so far in the freezing cold without supplies...and there's a fuck load of cold dead dudes chasing them. so Hodor holding the door for them bought them what? like a couple minutes? won't the wights just catch up to them in no time?
Rowan5215 05.24.16	sure violent deaths which are conveniently placed at the end of a season only for the person to be revived after the break to keep those ratings high. I'm sorry but you can't really pull the realism card when it comes to GoT and you also can't claim they've ever said anything meaningful about death at all
DoofusWainwright 05.24.16	MO I'm hoping that someone is waiting and spirits them away otherwise that is really far fetched that they'd manage to escape on their own from that point out agreed. If there isn't some sort of help the other side of that door then they writers should have had it so a few of the Children survived and escaped with them, so they could help move Bran before they die off or return to where the can use their magic, etc.
DoofusWainwright 05.24.16	I'm not pulling the realism card, but I wouldn't say every death in GoT is for shock value. Dude's croak due to old age, accidents, all manner of derps. Also the Jon Snow death/resurrection is a main plot point which has been built up since Season 1 Episode 1. I think GoT has said pretty much all a show can say about death, there are about 200 characters all with their own ideas about mortality/destiny/religion/the afterlife. I'd say GoT has less of an obvious agenda regarding death than the quasi religious LOTR and Lion, Witch, Wardrobe stories. It may not be as eloquent about the subject as Six Feet Under but then that was a show entirely about mortality whereas that isn't really all GoT is about. It's having fun with alternative histories and myth making for the most part.
RadicalEd 05.24.16	"sure violent deaths which are conveniently placed at the end of a season only for the person to be revived after the break to keep those ratings high. I'm sorry but you can't really pull the realism card when it comes to GoT and you also can't claim they've ever said anything meaningful about death at all" Agreed that the Jon Snow thing was a cliffhanger and nothin else. And I'm frankly disappointed that he was kinda mopey for 2 seconds and now is just his usual self, maybe a slight bit more pissed. But a lot of the other deaths had importnace to the story and just pretending that they are "done for shock value isn't really fair.
Rowan5215 05.24.16	sure but that doesn't preclude from being a ratings grab/shock value death. it might have some greater meaning I don't know but almost every single death I've seen on this show has been cheap and unearned
Rowan5215 05.24.16	I didn't say they weren't important to the story, just that it pretty much seems to me like RR goes "huh I'm stuck at this juncture in the plot, might as well just violently kill a main character" which does nothing for me as a storytelling device
MO 05.24.16	"I don't know but almost every single death I've seen on this show has been cheap and unearned" uh what? ned stark's death basically kicked off the entire story...and that was written almost 20 years ago. you're kind grasping at straws here, saying that death was only for shock value is straight up bull lmao
tempest-- 05.24.16	yo doof, i really like how you've embraced the word "derp" :D
Rowan5215 05.24.16	what does being written 20 years ago have to do with it? yeah like I said, I'm not saying they don't have bearing on future events. just like that, random character deaths are used to shock the story into motion when nothing's happening and that's not good
DoofusWainwright 05.24.16	Ed they set this all up - Jon Snow is a prominent character in episode 1. We are introduced to resurrection in Season 2 to get the audience ready for the concept - a character in Beric Dondarrion who's been revived multiple times and still outwardly himself, only he feels a little less than he used to be (leaving more and more on the 'other side' is the implication I guess, that's the price you pay). The story (for this is surely going to be the plot in the books) would be lacking if that idea didn't come back for a significant reason at a later juncture. It wasn't just a cliffhanger dreamt up by the show producers...its a cliffhanger in the source material (though not really because its obvious he has to come back if you link it all together).
SitarHero 05.24.16	"Stannis. Robb. Eddard. Catelyn. Tywin. Shae. Khal Drogo. Pretending stuff like the Red Wedding were "just done for shock value" is just malarkey." I don't mean deaths that make no logical sense within the context of the plot. I mean deaths that quote/unquote mean something. Heroes deaths. As Doof pointed out, it's a trope that GRRM and the show have gone out of their way to avoid in order to be "realistic", but the whole reason we watch this damn show is in the hope that at some point the tide will turn and the good guys will start winning, and this season feels a little bit like it's starting to.
DoofusWainwright 05.24.16	I don't want the good guys to win as such...I mean a few personal victories are fine but I don't think you want the series to end with Good King Jon sitting on the throne and Hot Pie serving him from the castle kitchens, while in the sky above the ramparts thar's Dany doing loop the loops on Drogon. I'd also say the 'baddies' and 'goodies' (if you can define them like that) are winning and losing about equally - I think the idea is chaos is engulfing everyone.
Shemson 05.24.16	Also guys, five episodes in so far and only one scene in Dorne! Talk about listening to fan feedback! I think all that's left for Dorne is to get conquered as Dany's crew rolls through on the way to Westeros. Other notable things- Ironborn storyline has been the best so far Jon Snow/watch storyline has continued to be good Dany looked like she had a whole boring season being kept prisoner but they resolved it in four episodes Bran storyline has game changing possibilities Littlefinger is starting to be sneaky again so who knows what will happen there A girl is very likely to become a Stark again and come back with assassin training to seek vengeance Tyrion and Varys are holding the whole Mereen storyline up on their witty shoulders
MO 05.24.16	they're definitely expediting things in this season. it's going along at a break neck speed for GoT
Shemson 05.24.16	My favourite season was probably season 4 and that's because it was set up so well by the slower (except for red wedding) season 3. Season five was slow overall with some downright bad storylines but a lot of it has set up this very strong start to the season and I can't wait to see what the second half brings!
RadicalEd 05.24.16	Season 2 was the best tho. So much Tyrion stuff.
Crymsonblaze 05.24.16	my only problem with this season is that they haven't focused nearly enough on jon and the implications of him dying and being brought back from oblivion. not saying they have to go all evangelion on it or anything, but i would like a bit more depth to the biggest event that's happened to, ostensibly, the hero of this show.
CamiloG 05.24.16	Aside from the last scene and Hodor's death, last episode was plain and boring imo.
tempest-- 05.24.16	but titties
Avagantamos 05.24.16	that dick shot though
Avagantamos 05.24.16	A+
CamiloG 05.24.16	Hahaha yeah that shot came totally unexpected
hal1ax 05.24.16	danaerys' story line this season has been so slow and boring. hey look, another fire that she walks thru to gain the respect of yet another dothraki tribe
CamiloG 05.24.16	Agreed her story line is beginning to get annoying
CamiloG 05.24.16	Seasons 3 and 4 are definitely the best ones
Titan 05.25.16	i find this season to be the best.....every episode so far has been great
hal1ax 05.25.16	lol i just realized u paired a Friendzone album with Jorah. nicely done.
CamiloG 05.25.16	Jorah is the king of friendzoneland, poor dude.
hal1ax 05.25.16	ikr. guy aint never gonna get it wet
Avagantamos 05.25.16	I wanna see Tommen kill High Sparrow
CamiloG 05.25.16	He lacks balls, I find him very weak in terms of courage.
Avagantamos 05.25.16	same, but it would be cool to see all that suddenly turn around. I think he's gonna finally have enough of Margaery being locked up and snap
BallsToTheWall 05.25.16	Jorah, that poor sap.
CamiloG 05.25.16	I picture Tommen dead quite soon.
DoofusWainwright 05.25.16	'lol i just realized u paired a Friendzone album with Jorah. nicely done' hal1fax - he one that makes me laugh is Olenna Tyrell's album title 'things aren't so beautiful now'
altertide0 05.25.16	This season is better than you'd expect from a filler one, however, it's also definitely apparent it's not by Martin (and I haven't even read the books). The "Daenerys burns the dothraki" or the "Bran and co. run from whitewalkers" scenes (among others) are so damn cheesy, I don't remember anything like this in the previous seasons (aside from the filler Daenerys episodes).
DoofusWainwright 05.25.16	alt I agree, just toning those scenes down a bit would have worked better, build suspense and add a little more realism
hal1ax 05.30.16	ehh new ep is kinda boring
hal1ax 05.30.16	sam packin valerian steel now boi watchhhout
Nikkolae 05.30.16	should've said joink while stealing the sword, missed an opportunity there D&D
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.30.16	So how many more episodes do you guys think will end with daenarys epically rallying a bunch of people to fight for her before she finally actually fucking does anything?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.30.16	This is like the 30th time they've done that it's like I get it guys
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.30.16	Also doof I appreciate some of these clever album match ups
hal1ax 05.30.16	Ya Dany's plot line has been tedious af. Bran's has been interesting
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.30.16	I fucking hate bran but I'll admit it's become much better than it used to be. Could do with less Sam tho cool bro you have a siq sword now ur still the worst character ever
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.30.16	This season really does just feel like pure filler
hal1ax 05.30.16	Haha ya Sam is a bitch
hal1ax 05.30.16	i feel like this season needs more Tyrion
Spado 05.30.16	props to the writers for including 10 minutes of the stage play in each the last two episodes. I mean killing 1/6 of an episode with unnecessary bullshit that doesn't advance the plot and showcases irrelevant characters? Well done.
zakalwe 05.30.16	New series is dumbed down Hollywood rubbish.
wwf 05.30.16	The stage play is great though because westeros is a large world and they often can forget to show that when they get so focused on a few characters Its nice to see how the general public views current events every once in a while Sam and Gilly plotline can be launched into space tho
DoofusWainwright 05.30.16	The new series is playing it all a bit straight so far - the limit of the plotting has been the High Sparrow brainwashing Tommen - I'm hoping someone out there is scheming something up a bit unexpected. Otherwise I can see the writers just playing the whole thing with a straight bat all the way to the finale and leaning on the audiences love of the characters and big set pieces/CGI (which isn't what's best about the show)
DoofusWainwright 05.30.16	The 'Ahhh, they really fucked 'em over' factor is needed - I still have high hopes that Little Finger and Varys have it in them to screw over 90% of the inhabitants of Westeros largely undetected
p4p 05.30.16	no natalie dormer nude scene 4/10
DoofusWainwright 05.30.16	Last season the downfalls of Jon and Stannis were well done People moaned about Stannis plot but I thought it was awesome, winter finally arrived and backed him in a corner and all his weaknesses come out - paying for loyalty not naturally inspiring it (sells words abandon him), believing his own destiny/Mel (burning Shireen). Damn right he'd have burned her too, practical man. And Jon being too trusting, the Stark/nobility upbringing in him, trying to inspire the honourable nature in others - they're night watch mate, rapists and thieves, of course they're going to stab you. Nothing like that so far but four episodes to go, usually when all the background goings on are revealed.
UpwardSpiral 05.30.16	Expected more of the part with Sam... I hope the writers know what they are doing. I'd rather read the next book but who knows when that will be released.
Shemson 05.30.16	Ah come on guys there's a difference between filler and moving the plot lines forward. Here's my take on things- Benjen Stark/Cold Hands is in the picture finally and Bran now has extra warg abilities seeing everything whenever he wants-cool now get your arse to the tower of joy... What's the point of this Tarly reunion? Oh a Valerian steel sword. Yeah fair enough good. Arya needs her own family back. She even felt sorry for fake Cersei because of how she feels about her FAMILY. She isn't nobody, she is Arya Stark. Faceless plot line complete after she kills Waif. High Sparrow doing his thing was cool I'm guessing nobody has issue here. Jaime Lannister is off to get involved in the siege of Riverrun like he should've been doing last season when he went on his lame adventure time with Bron. Walder Frey back just as Arya realises she's not faceless and I'm sure is ready to get back onto her list, nice. And then there was that bullshit at the end with Dany which as has been said before is like the 10th time she's done the same bullshit rallying cry. THAT was filler, the rest of the episode was solid IMO.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.30.16	Yes there is a difference between filler and moving the plot lines forward and for many of the stories in this season it is the former
Flugmorph 05.30.16	im glad no one died in the last episode
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.30.16	Also the downfall of stannis was so poorly done that if you disagree you deserve to be drowned in a canvas sack tbh
Flugmorph 05.30.16	funny how everyone here is concerned with the 'progression of the plot' movies aren't just plots that need to move forward you know smh
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.30.16	Actually shemson your points are sound but yeah danaerys and a lot of the deaths and everything at theons castle and some of the high sparrow shit just to name a few seem like mad filler and even with the ones that are advancing they are clearly advancing with mad unnecessary babysteps
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.30.16	@flug it's a show not a movie just so you know
Flugmorph 05.30.16	obviously it applies anyway
hal1ax 05.31.16	Too much of a stagnant plot is dull and irritating
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.31.16	@flug it really doesn't at all because movies and TV are completely different mediums in every single way possible aside from the fundamentals of involving cameras and actors etc.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.31.16	True the fuck that. With broadcast TV there needs to be some kind of gratification whether it comes from plot development or character development or whatever since people are tuning in week by week, waiting months at a time, and dedicating like 100 hours of their life to it. With film there are a lot more liberties you can take.
Flugmorph 05.31.16	well you're both right. im still looking for more than pure plot in GoT
CamiloG 05.31.16	This season is pissing me off, it goes fucking nowhere, only filler and filler, I'm tired of the Danenerys "epic ending" formula and of the slow development of the main plot lines.
tacos n stuff 05.31.16	I agree that there hasn't been too many big moments this season yet but its far better than season 5 and I'm cool with that
Polyethylene 05.31.16	This season has gone back to the slow-burning approach of the first season, and has had some *enormous* lore reveals. If this is the somewhat uneventful but elegant build up to the big finale then I'm happy with that. Keep in mind, however, that we'll have a full war episode between Jon and Ramsay in episode 9
tacos n stuff 05.31.16	apparently the ep is blatantly titled "the battle of the bastards"
mifzal 05.31.16	another episode about talking and talking and just talking, fortunately its one of the better ones. but like every episode with an ending that promises a big show down in the next one.
DoofusWainwright 05.31.16	The only thing I didn't care for with the Stannis plot was him being executed by The Bastarth - rest was perfect, the slow drip drip of utter failure. Brilliant, his whole campaign died like a soggy fart. That's life. More like that this season please, less of the typical 'burning a tent full of Khals and come up smelling like Christmas'
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.31.16	You're wrong as fuck of course but leave it to someone like you to be dumb enough to neglect the like 4000 massive glaring plotholes and terrible leaps in logic in stannis's downfall. It was absolutely incompetent story writing. Sorry.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.31.16	Believe me, if my comp wasn't in for repairs right now and I didn't have to sput on my phone I would write like 74 paragraphs tearing you and the stannis demise plot line to fucking shreds and then I would also murder your fam.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.31.16	Remind me in a week doofus and I'll kick your fucking ass with my weapons grade philosophical insights and flawless logical criticisms.
DoofusWainwright 05.31.16	Dude had to burn his daughter that was foreshadowed since season 2, an army of sellswords deserting sounds credible, but he should have been flayed by the Boltons. There were a lot of people sneaking in and out of camp undetected and magic silent horses but in a series with the occasional plot hole I thought actually that one was one of the more watertight :/ I know a lot of book nerds say, 'feed and rest at this castle at derp derp, fish in this lake, hunt boar, recruit from the smurf village' but f that it's the show, none of that is available once winter descends. Being backed in a corner was the plot device fair enough
DoofusWainwright 05.31.16	I'll remind you Pots, you haven't kicked my ass in a while
Flugmorph 05.31.16	its time for a whoppin
UpwardSpiral 05.31.16	I didn't really like the Stannis plot line either, maybe because I just did not want him to die in such a pathetic way. The guy who played him was one of the better actors. Charles Dance (Tywin) leaving the show in season 4 was also a shame, even though it was inevitable.
CamiloG 05.31.16	Regarding the acting skills, I think that one of the best performances in the show has been the one of Olenna Tyrell which I consider to be brilliant.
BallsToTheWall 05.31.16	The Waif could flay me any day.
Shemson 05.31.16	Polyethylene knows what up, completely agree. This theory has great lore reveals and that excellent slow burn from the first three seasons. CamiloG I completely agree with too Olenna makes me laugh or smile every time she does anything, she's awesome. Also Episode 9 seems to be building up to Doof versus Pots. Sputbowl, get hype.
DoofusWainwright 05.31.16	Shem - I don't want to give away the ending but usually those Potsy vs Doof confrontations end up with a long walk of shame for the Doof
UpwardSpiral 05.31.16	I forgot about Olenna, brilliant indeed.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.31.16	@doofus fucking lmao airtight my god I'm gonna fuck you up so hard just you wait u goddamn baffoon
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.31.16	@balls the waif looks like a fucking 13 year old catholic girl from the 40s you sick fuck
smaugman 05.31.16	did stannis die or not?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 05.31.16	He died because the show writers didn't know what to do with him essentially
DoofusWainwright 05.31.16	He dead
Shemson 05.31.16	it'll be interesting to see where GRRM takes the Stannis storyline. He was the one true king and should've been on the throne after Robert though whichever way you spin it AND I think he would've been the best King of all the candidates who were going for it.
Gyromania 05.31.16	that last episode was profoundly boring. i mean, wth even happened in it really. i'm struggling to recall a lot of it
Shemson 05.31.16	If you're serious I went over all the major plot points about 25 posts up mate?
altertide0 05.31.16	stannis will definitely come back sooner or later, just because he can
adr 05.31.16	Sam and Gilly storyline is more interesting than anything related to Daenerys aka mothers of shut the fuck u cunt since about 4 seasons.
adr 05.31.16	Stannis come back would be fucking retarded, he's dead.
Shemson 05.31.16	Nah Stannis is a goner man. The Hound on the other hand...
altertide0 05.31.16	just wait and see, wait and see. as for it being retarded, true, but it wouldn't be the first retarded event in the show (my favourite being stannis the best tactician in the world losing all his supplies and shit to 20 men during one night).
hal1ax 05.31.16	Stannis wasn't himself when he lost it all though. He had been depleted by magic for a while at that point. The show didn't convey how consumed and decrepit stannis had become as well as th book.
DoofusWainwright 05.31.16	in the show winter arriving destroys him really, you can't make allowances for that
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.01.16	God only like 4 more days til I have my comp and I can lynch you doof you will rue the day you said the stannis arch was good writing I'm boutsta end you
DoofusWainwright 06.01.16	Go on do your duty
UpwardSpiral 06.01.16	'The show didn't convey how consumed and decrepit stannis had become as well as th book' That is the main disadvantage of adapting a story like this with all the 'grey' characters. The book does a good job describing their motivations/thoughts etc. and this is hard to replicate in the tv-series. And there are only 10 episodes per season. I enjoy it anyway though.
Polyethylene 06.01.16	Yeah considering time / budget restraints and the lack of internal monologue, which pretty much made the books what they were, the show has done fucking well
hal1ax 06.06.16	fuck ya the hound is back.
tacos n stuff 06.06.16	CLEGANEBOWL FUCKING CONFIRMED.
hal1ax 06.06.16	next weeks ep looks promising. fuckin zombie mountain in action
Ignimbrite 06.06.16	h y p e y p e
Nikkolae 06.06.16	was just thinking how interesting the whole deal with sweet robin got, i mean the guy is a complete idiot lunatic who commands the knights of the vale and would also do anything Petyr Baelish tells him to
tacos n stuff 06.06.16	this season's been very setup-y in a good way, kinda like S1 S5 was just a lot of nothing which made it disappointing cause they blew their load on a single episode. This season i feel like there's always something you forgot about but the show keeps reminding you until it finally shows up again and the pieces fall together (getting that vibe with the vale stuff)
hal1ax 06.06.16	ya season 5 was dog shit. this season has been a little better i guess. they are still just stalling and dragging ass on some plot lines and it's annoying. i.e. Danaerys
tacos n stuff 06.06.16	I gave up on danys plotline like 3 seasons ago so i ant even mad and im happy they pushed forward the arya stuff this season, I was worried they were gonna drag out the blind stuff forever
tempest-- 06.06.16	yeah but its kinda been that way since like season 3. i mean, she has dragons, there's not much that can stand in her way. dany getting to westeros is like rip everyone, show's over. so they have to delay that as much as possible with as many bullshit reasons as they can to get more episodes and story for everyone else.
tacos n stuff 06.06.16	Im still genuinely stumped how she expects an entire culture of raping and pillaging to just break tradition and live civil lives after the conquest ends, for some reason out of all the inconsistencies in dany's story, this confuses me the most
baldymort 06.06.16	This episode was fantastic. Really reminiscent of the earlier seasons of GOT. It was great to see some new locations and old characters come back.
tacos n stuff 06.06.16	I think the new locations was why i dug this episode so much too, I feel like we've been stuck in the same spots for so long and that feeling of newness/freshness that comes from seeing characters in totally new settings is something we havent seen much since like season 3
hal1ax 06.06.16	"Im still genuinely stumped how she expects an entire culture of raping and pillaging to just break tradition and live civil lives after the conquest ends, for some reason out of all the inconsistencies in dany's story, this confuses me the most" i don't think she does expect that. i just interpret that as dany is naive and short-sighted and has tunnel vision on ruling westeros
hal1ax 06.06.16	which dialogue ? i was thinking some of Sansa's is pretty shit.
tacos n stuff 06.06.16	her naiveity is gonna bite her in the ass so hard and then were gonna lose dragon vs WW hype cause shes gonna screw something up mad hard, unless tyrion moms the hell out of her and keeps her in check
tacos n stuff 06.06.16	the dialogue hasnt really been bad but its loosing a lot of luster now that the show runners dont have much help from Martin anymore. You said it yourself, some of sansa's dialogue was a little cringy/cliche The vast majority of it is still better than 99% of basic ass tv so im not really sweating it too much
tacos n stuff 06.06.16	the olenna scenes are all quality. That verbal bitch slap to cersei was one of the most satisfying moments of the show
hal1ax 06.06.16	"most of the sansa/jon/onion dialogue is clunky imo, i feel like jon should be radically different after f'ing dying but now he just seems like an even mopier version of his old self" lol ya i agree. i'm glad they brought the hound back tho. he has always been one of my favs. imo he is a lot more complex and interesting than a lot of other characters
tacos n stuff 06.06.16	Im also very happy they gave the hound a limp/stagger cause if he just came back to form after that brieanne beatdown, that wouldve just been total nonsense
tacos n stuff 06.06.16	Not sure how celganebowl is going down without the hound in top form
hal1ax 06.06.16	haha no one is beating the zombie mountain. he will 1v3 the dragons
hal1ax 06.06.16	"more indepth focus on fewer characters " ^ this so hard
tacos n stuff 06.06.16	Ive been hyped for that frankenmountain-head-rip all season and its coming next week, holy crap i really hope shit hits the fan
Ignimbrite 06.06.16	so ready for noonebowl next week
Flugmorph 06.06.16	fuck ye the hound is back and hes gonna rip some new assholes
Shemson 06.06.16	I read a really interesting theory about noonebowl, if that's what we're calling it, but I don't really want to share it because if it's true I wish I hadn't read about it because it will lose impact.
Shemson 06.06.16	Another solid episode IMO, if the final three are of the same quality as the usual end of season stuff then this season had been a huge return to form and could be looked back on as one of the very best.
DoofusWainwright 06.06.16	great episode Little Finger knew the way it was going down and Sansa would need to beg for him oh yeah You saw the House Mormont 62 men punchline coming a mile off but it was still pretty funny - and thankfully that child actress just gets the one scene Arya learnt nothing at the House of B&W smh Hound was the best character season 4 so a welcome return I was a bit worried after the previous episode but a lot of potential for the rest of the season, I like the Riverrun dynamic and Theon with Tyrion should be a strange one in prospect
hal1ax 06.06.16	noonebowl???
hal1ax 06.06.16	"Hound was the best character season 4 so a welcome return" ya dude^ and i know fucking arya just gets shanked like u would think she would be vigilant about strange people just approaching her like that wtfff
Shemson 06.06.16	@Doof I actually really enjoyed the young ladies scene as Lady Mormont. I agree one is probably enough but I thought she did a good job... Still more convincing than Sansa trying to be authoritative ffs @hal1ax a girl must kill a girl
Shemson 06.06.16	Haha yeah hal, me and the missus were literally telling Arya what was gonna happen before it did we were like- 'Yeah that's right you make sure you leave at daybreak' 'Don't fuck about now' 'Seriously go hide' 'There's a lady coming towards you' 'That's clearly Wai... Oh come on!'
hal1ax 06.06.16	haha ya sansa's lines always make me cringe. not sure if it's her acting or the writing for her character but... ya fucking awful. "@hal1ax a girl must kill a girl" "I read a really interesting theory about noonebowl" well cmon then, spill it.
Shemson 06.06.16	Well I guess we are doing spoilers and predictions so it's ok in here. I was reading how at no point has Waif interacted with any other character except Jacquen. She also has an encyclopaedic knowledge of all of Arya's past and thoughts and feelings too. It also seems odd that at no time did anyone stop Waif from beating a poor blind girl with a stick in the middle of the street. The theory is that in becoming no one Arya has ended up with a kind of 'Fight Club' split personality thing going on and that right now she's forgotten who she really is and her Stark side wants to escape whilst her faceless side wants to kill Arya and be no one forever.
hal1ax 06.06.16	hmm. so you think she stabbed herself in the stomach? i mean i guess that could make sense... seems a little gimmicky though
hal1ax 06.06.16	are you on board with the main Jon Snow's true parents theory?? being Leanna Stark / Rhaegar Targaryen. i think that is a really strong theory.
Shemson 06.06.16	I think that's why the author of the theory used Fight Club as an example as it's easy to remember the big reveal where Ed Norton is beating the shit out of himself at various times. I'm not really sure how I feel about it but you could imagine Jacquen explaining a process in which all faceless assassins go through a period of trying to kill their old selves to truly become nobody.
Shemson 06.06.16	Yeah for sure man, it will actually make less sense at this point of they don't R+L=J. What do you think about R+L=J+M though? Seems interesting given that they made a point of showing Meera's dad with young Ned at the tower of joy on the show!
hal1ax 06.06.16	"R+L=J+M" what do u mean by this? you think Meera is going to become intimate with John?
hal1ax 06.06.16	but i hope that theory is true. It will open a lot of doors for the story. I mean, if John has targaryen blood, maybe the dragons will obey him :O
DrMaximus 06.06.16	"It also seems odd that at no time did anyone stop Waif from beating a poor blind girl with a stick in the middle of the street." Yeah, but no one stopped to help Arya when her guts were spilling out so this doesn't prove a whole lot. :3
Shemson 06.06.16	The theory is that both Jon AND Meera were born when Lyanna died and that's why the show cast similar looking actors to play them. Meera's Dad, Howland Reed is the only other survivor from the battle outside the Tower of Joy in the show. Who's to say Ned didn't take the son and Howland the daughter? It's been confirmed they're both the same age and in the books they make a point of saying that Ned and Howland are great friends but that Howland has never visited Winterfell since Robert's Rebellion...
Shemson 06.06.16	True Max, but when you put a few points together it seems possible, though I'm putting it in the unlikely camp.
hal1ax 06.06.16	interestingggg. so they would be twins?? hmmmmmm.
Shemson 06.06.16	All I know is we've had two entire episodes since the opening scene with Benjen telling Bran that he is now the Three Eyed Raven and Bran showing he can see whatever he wants whenever he wants so it's time for that full Tower of Joy flashback now please!!!
hal1ax 06.06.16	seriously. i need it
Flugmorph 06.06.16	doofus brings the truth
swipenet 06.06.16	Everyone fucking dies, probably horribly. Gonna be some good shit mang
BallsDeep 06.07.16	Benjen doesn't look dead enough, would it of killed them to put some more prosthetics on him to make him truly look like his half white walker? His rescue scene was also god awful. Im also getting annoyed with the amount of characters they're reviving this season, if they bring back lady stoneheart it will really diminish the impact of characters deaths on the show.
DoofusWainwright 06.07.16	Balls I have a horrible feeling they just might bring in Stoneheart as no one else looks positioned to take out old Walder and the Brotherhood now look like a nasty bunch based on this episode
Shemson 06.07.16	I reckon Arya takes out Walder and The Hound (now motivated after that massacre) takes out the brotherhood. The brotherhood being set as evil dicks in the last episode pretty much rules out a Stoneheart return IMO
adr 06.07.16	Anyone thought that actually might be not the real Arya? What if Jaqen was testing the Waif lol. Also the absence of Needle and all the money she had was fishy, plus how she fell for that, it was too obvious. The "Fight Club" theory is ridiculous though. Overall great episode good to see the Hound back.
altertide0 06.07.16	I don't think the fans are right here (poor fucks, too clever for this season's writing), it doesn't matter anyway as we all know Arya is going to survive (which renders the encounter completely pointless btw, but hey, better one encounter than her entire arc this season (if she died))
MO 06.07.16	yea I think Jaqen sees something in Arya and he was testing that waif bitch. when he said to not let her suffer, they made a point in the show of showing her stabbing "arya" and twisting the blade. pretty convinced that was Arya. plus why would she go from like a dark cave with Needle to walking gingerly in the open? shit don't make sense yo
adr 06.07.16	agreed
MO 06.07.16	she's also already been put through the fucking ringer if you ask me. no way they'd add her getting brutally stabbed on top of all that
altertide0 06.07.16	would be nice if there was more to it than meets the eye
DoofusWainwright 06.07.16	Jaqen could turn the waif blind for good is my guess when she reports back and can't lie convincingly. It's a strange plot, I'm still thinking Arya was genuinely stabbed otherwise this would be the most complex plot point of the last two seasons :D
hal1ax 06.07.16	i hope Olenna doesn't leave kings landing. she is bad ass
hal1ax 06.07.16	she might be the only character left in kings landing that i like.
adr 06.07.16	Margaery tho
DoofusWainwright 06.07.16	Marg goes like a train yeah
hal1ax 06.07.16	ya she ok i guess. hot afffff
DoofusWainwright 06.07.16	The GoT female characters favourite sex position survey just came back funnily enough: Marg - doggy (Royal finger in arsehole) Dany - reverse cowgirl (while blowing kisses at Drogon) Yara - the 'longboat' (strap on and bends victim over both standing up) Sansa - anything but rape
Shemson 06.07.16	I've been thinking on it and maybe there was a grander point to Arya saving an actress last episode. She knew Waif would come after her so wanted to fake her own death but make it convincing. An actor would be able to help her fake a stabbing with pigs blood or something maybe? Also why didn't Arya have needle and why was she walking around so chill? There's definitely more than meets the eye here guys...
BallsDeep 06.11.16	I hope so because that little bug eyed twats storyline has bored me to tears this season if I must admit. So If it was all for nothing it would make it even worse
Gyromania 06.11.16	really loved that last ep. olenna's wit is incendiary
BallsDeep 06.11.16	Yeah she was absolutely savage to Cersei and it put a smile on my dial
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.11.16	i wish there was more than meets the eye with the arya thing and at one point i think there would have been but at this point in the show its pretty clear that nobody knows how to write worth a shit and there probably isn't. that scene was fucking stupid. this season is fucking stupid.
BallsDeep 06.11.16	I loved this season (mainly because of the fast pacing) until last week when I realized that I don't like where really any of the storylines are going. Daenerys aka mrs self righteous and her awful speeches can fuck off and never return for all I care. But I've never been fond of her. Arya on the other hand was one of my favorites until the faceless men bullshit came along. Hopefully the last 3 episodes will prove me wrong though
hal1ax 06.13.16	so what do u guys think is the rumor that Qyburn and Cersei were talking about
Nikkolae 06.13.16	Tyrion being danny's advisor
Nikkolae 06.13.16	Or maybe something to do with the sparrow that'll fuck his shit up
hal1ax 06.13.16	mmm ya i think it may be something involving the sparrow. i doubt it would be something revolving around tyrion. not sure how that information would help her immediate situation.
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	episode was really solid until the last arya sequence like wtf... we get these awesome scenes with the hound, edmure/jamie, cersei (hell, even the tyrion scene that was pure character develupment filler was still entertaining) but then then the writers last minute were like fuck it peace out, let the intern take over the arya scenes
Nikkolae 06.13.16	Rip the Blackfish, massive bollocks on that one
hal1ax 06.13.16	yes arya arc has been weak as fuck. dany's is moving at a snails pace too. did u guys see scenes from next weeks ? looks like they're going to dedicate the vast majority of the ep to the battle at winterfell, like what they did for the battle of blackwater bay.
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	actually i take that back, blackfish dying off screen and cleganebowl unconfirmed were suuuuper lame miiiight be my least favorite episode of the season next to 6.1 I really hope the last 2 episodes restore some hype
Trebor. 06.13.16	I laughed so hard when the Blackfish looked at the letter for all of 1 second and was all like "Ahh Sansa, she writes just like Cateyln"
hal1ax 06.13.16	ya agreed. pretty weak ep. the jamie / edmure dialogue was dece i guess
Trebor. 06.13.16	Arya trained for 2 fucking seasons just to quit
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	so far its ep1=meh, ep2=excellent, ep3=great, ep4=good, ep5=excellent, ep6=good, ep7=excellent, ep8=meh/bad. I guess so far season is like a 7/10, possibly an 8 if the last 2 episodes deliver
hal1ax 06.13.16	ya dude arya arc is such fucking trash it's frustrating. maybe she will return to westeros as some badass assassin hoe or some shit
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	Im trying really hard not to let the frustration of the arya stuff ruin the whole ep but goddamn its really hard
Trebor. 06.13.16	Man they really swept Dorne under the rug
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	and i couldnt be happier @trebor
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	tbh toad, i actually thought that was kind of true like, the whole point of bringing arya to bravvos was a test for the waif to see if she is a true faceless man and she ends up failing bc she tries making arya's death personal. It wouldve at least given arya's plot in bravvos some meaning.
Trebor. 06.13.16	Yeah but it it's still shitty One of the top 5 biggest houses in Westeros went extinct and no one talks about it Like it's one thing to not show Dorne, but to have no one in King's Landing or anyone care or even mention what's happening makes no sense Also that thing with Qybern about the rumor or whatever, why would he wait until that exact moment to tell Cersei? Also from last episode, the Waif is a trained assassin, it's her whole life, and she chooses to cut Arya in the gut instead of the throat, OK, maybe she wanted a painful death for Arya, but she watches her fall into the water and then doesn't see her body, and then is like "Yep, probably dead, not really gonna look into it to much even though it's my only job" Fucking come on D&D
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	the Qybern thing didnt bother me in the slightest (didnt even think about it until you said it) but no one mentioning dorne is definitely odd, and again the arya stuff this episode was painfully bad. I defend this shows hiccups a lot bc i love the show/characters as a whole but there was no excuse for that
hal1ax 06.13.16	"Also that thing with Qybern about the rumor or whatever, why would he wait until that exact moment to tell Cersei?" because maybe the information did not become pertinent until the discovery of outlawed trial-by-combat
hal1ax 06.13.16	like hey now that you're fucked, you should know yadda yadda prob something having to do with the high sparrow
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	when d&d hit the mark, its wonderful but when they screw up they take nose dives Really makes me wonder if GRRM is actually still giving insight to the writers
Trebor. 06.13.16	I want Tommen dead so bad
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	i know d&d are diverging from source material but i could have sworn i saw somewhere that martin is still somehow involved/helping with the writing
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	joffery>pussy whipped tommen
hal1ax 06.13.16	GRRM has given them kind of a loose, skeletal outline of the story, but how they get to these main points is up to them. like book 5 is pretty fuckin different from the show. for example-the cersei/jamie romance component has pretty much fizzled out in the books, but in the show they're keeping it going strongly
Trebor. 06.13.16	George has had close to zero involvement with the last two seasons He's told them a bunch of shit about what happens in future books, dating back to before the show even started, so it's hard to say how recently he told them about stuff like hold the door and what not
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	i actually did not see tommen denying cerseis trial by combat coming, which was a nice oh shit moment, but alas it killed the hype train and that is nigh unforgivable
Trebor. 06.13.16	"for example-the cersei/jamie romance component has pretty much fizzled out in the books, but in the show they're keeping it going strongly" it didn't fizzle out, it fucking dead, which is part of Jaime's awesome arc in the books. Show Jaime is such a pussywhipped dumbass piece of shit
hal1ax 06.13.16	oh i see. i just read something saying he had given them a loose outline of future books but ya that couldve been a long time ago
Trebor. 06.13.16	Ughh like Jaime's arc is to learn that violence is bullshit Same with the Hound in the book, but in the show it's like, nope gonna kill people with a hatchet
hal1ax 06.13.16	"it didn't fizzle out, it fucking dead, which is part of Jaime's awesome arc in the books. Show Jaime is such a pussywhipped dumbass piece of shit" ya bro, it's annoying. jaime's character in the books is so much better
Trebor. 06.13.16	Jaime did nothing for the first 6 episodes, and then they super rushed the Riverrun plot in two fucking episodes like what kind of bullshit is that
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	Im curious what george thinks of the last 2 seasons, like always there was some great original stuff but some of it (dorne/arya/jamie not distancing from cersei) has left some bad tastes in my mouth personally
Trebor. 06.13.16	Jaime's chapters in Feast For Crows/Dance With Dragons get my dick so hard
Trebor. 06.13.16	Oh God, I'm getting flashbacks of that Super Daario Brothers schlock from earlier in the season Dany's chapters are mostly the worst in the books, but her shit in the show is borderline unwatchable Seeing her come back was so disheartening
hal1ax 06.13.16	i will admit, however, that the battle of hardhome episode that takes place north of the wall, was a fucking amazing show-only addition to the series.
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	Im ok with the hound still being a violent dude, if anything i actually think it makes more sense then him going full monk like in the books but show jamie needs some much needed character development a la season 3
hal1ax 06.13.16	ya i hate dany's chapters in the books too lol. tyrion's were always my fav
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	hardhome is universally regarded as kick ass, so is the tywin/arya scenes from s2(?)
hal1ax 06.13.16	lol ya toad. seems like writing original dialogue for tyrion is especially tricky. that char is like GRRM's baby
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	funny enough i prefer show dany to book dany. book dany is an utter moron
hal1ax 06.13.16	agreed dude. book dany pisses me off to no end
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	I hope WoW comes out before s7 so d&d can take some lines from it for tyrion. His dialogue hasnt been bad to me but just meh
hal1ax 06.13.16	I'm crossing my fingers for a Q4-2016 - or - Q1-2017 release for WoW
hal1ax 06.13.16	actually there is like no way it is coming out in 2016 what am i saying
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	I'll try to look on the bright side of some things this week: Arya is FINALLY done with the facless men and can be relevant again/#bastardbowl/cersei going insane and lighting KL on fire and (hopefully) unleashing frankenmountain/tyrion and dany political scenes are back instead of drinking parties
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	itll be available as a courtesy dl for your kindle after buying HL3 and FF15
hal1ax 06.13.16	how do u think the battle of winterfell will play out? little finger will prob show up with the Vale's army to reinforce Jon as he is about to be defeated. davos will prob die, maybe tormund too (hopefully not tho)
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	just like you said, jons army gets his ass handed to him until deus ex petyr swoops in and steals the win. I predict davos to rage kill mel and tormond to die on the battlefield. Sansa will issue ramsey's execution and it will be a bittersweet quick death. I sense a lot of predictability but im not really looking for that kinda stuff with this kind of an episode. I just want a well choreographed fight and meaningful deaths for characters that deserve them
hal1ax 06.13.16	ya they typically do a pretty good job with the battle episodes. I'm excited for next weeks
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	definitely not over yet! I believe this season has been pretty good and while this episode was a speed bump, there is still a lot of stuff left to get hype about. My only wish is that they dont rush the finale like s5.10
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	if the last 2 episodes are really good then i think the season order goes 4>1>3>6>2>5 season 1 was so faithful to the books it made me happy and s4 was the perfect blend of original and canon content
hal1ax 06.13.16	season 1 was awesome agreed. although i remember they had made some strange tweaks that seemed needlessly disparate from the books. one of which was i remember in the books drogo and dany's sex scenes always seemed consensual and amicable but in the show they made it seem like rape almost
tacos n stuff 06.13.16	it was pretty much rape lol, didnt think too much of it cause i knew theyed end up falling in love somehow. Kind of a silly change though agreed
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.13.16	its funny everyone thought this episode was so terrible. this entire season has been awful but i hated this one a lot less than most. like i agree with most of the points made about it here, pretty much everything trebor said was spot on (although i didnt get as hung up over the drinking scene). but there were a few super gratifying moments this episode that have been lacking from pretty much the entire rest of the season. the fight scene with hound was great, i was pretty stoked about getting the brotherhood back, and the scene where frankenmountain killed that dude was good too. basically all the stuff with cercei and hound was better than pretty much anything else thats happened this season. and the fact that there was so little dary was great. and i cbf i havent read the books so i have practically 0 point of reference for caring about black fish in any way whatsoever so his off-screen death didnt upset me. the arya thing has been continuing stupidity but it was better than last episodes arya shit.
baldymort 06.13.16	i think qyburn was telling cersei about using wildfire to burn kings landing down if it comes to that. we see it in bran's visions. she'll probably kill tommen indirectly and then be killed by jamie when he tries to stop her, fulfilling that witches prophecy.
anarchistfish 06.13.16	the hound was sick this episode episode was kind weak relative to this season (e5 and e7 were amazing) but I'm hyped for the next two
mifzal 06.14.16	disappointed with the underwhelming end of the training bitch
ZippaThaRippa 06.14.16	It's pretty obvious that they have been saving the budget for this final battle. A lot of the fight scenes are being intentionally glossed over.
DoofusWainwright 06.14.16	The Arya plot didn't really work which is strange as the ideas/source material seemed rich - like it would take an actual effort not to have any suspense/intrigue... Somehow the show writers screwed up that one though. I'm happy with most of the rest though, Jaime/Brienne and Jaime/Edmure were good stuff in particular. Hound and Brotherhood also has some promise.
BallsDeep 06.14.16	Part of me wants a 60 minute bastarbowl battle next episode but part of me realizes how many unresolved/forgotten story lines and character arcs this will leave which the finale couldn't possibly tie up. It's as though they keep biting off more than they can chew every time they establish some new character arc and forget how little screen time every character actually ends up receiving. In their defense it would be a extremely difficult task to nail a show of this scale, and for the most part they've done a fine job with it.
ZippaThaRippa 06.14.16	That's the same problem the books have. There are so many threads in the knot that the denouement has turned into a real bitch
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.14.16	Zippathabombast
adr 06.14.16	worst episode this season tbh , the Arya arc this episode was the epitome of bad/lazy writing, it was ridiculous and really bad.
ZippaThaRippa 06.14.16	I mean yeah but whatever, it would't have been interesting if Arya had actually ended up as one of the Faceless Men.
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	genuinely shocked you dug the episode pots, I found a lot more stuff to be excited about in earlier episodes personally really shows how divisive this season has been
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	ive heard arguments about this being either the worst or best season of the show, with very little people feeling in between about it.
Spado 06.15.16	the arya chase was essentially a scooby doo running through doors scene to waste time. completely unneccessary, how many shots did we have to see of the faceless girl hilariously running with her hands at her side. Not to mention Aryas arc being completely pointless.
Dmax28 06.15.16	Worst episode in the history of the show.
Spado 06.15.16	There were a lot of bad episodes but yeah it was pretty awful
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	i think im torn between this and Unbowed unbent unbroken for worst episode its hard to top that bad pussy line
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	I like this theory a lot aside from marg dying: https://www.reddit.com/r/gameofthrones/comments/4o3d4l/everything_timeline_of_events_for_final_episodes/
hal1ax 06.15.16	lol na i don't buy most of that theory
hal1ax 06.15.16	"Jamie frantically starts looking for Cersie and finds her near a wildfire cache with a torch. She is fully crazy and muttering "burn them all"" please. coming back full circle with the Ares demise story. if this happens i will be mad
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	i just think the vale coming in is TOO easy, and jamie killing cersei needs to happen. The wall coming down would also be a great way to end the season imo
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	the burn them all thing is cliche but i subscribe more to jamie killing cersei
hal1ax 06.15.16	"i just think the vale coming in is TOO easy" ya i think u may be right. it is pretty predictable. that part of the theory i can buy. but the wildfire in kings landing?? ehhh. maybe. doesn't that seem just kind of lazy tho
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	Idk i find it quite poetic that hed kill his lover to prevent her from killing more people/revenge for killing their child
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	oh neat 1000 comments
hal1ax 06.15.16	cersei is very intelligent and cunning and has always been one of the best at playing the game. she has never really been this backed into a corner before. i really want to see her maneuver out of it , rather than just her initiating some wildfire shower on the city.
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	idk, she seems pretty unstable this season, i totally wouldnt mind her coming up with a plan to get out of all this/defeat the HS though. We'll have to wait and see. They might not even resolve her story this season. It would suck but considering next episode looks like itll be all winterfell stuff, d&d dont hve much time to resolve other stories...kind makes me nervous
protokute 06.15.16	I have the feel, that this series is dragging for very long. and it has 2 more seasons yet, don't know how it's gonna be, i'm getting tired.
hal1ax 06.15.16	i know man. I'm eager to see how they wrap this season up.
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	eh i think the pacing is fine proto, its the execution thats been rusty assuming the writers have the same budget for the next season while also having less episodes, they can really make every episode great instead of taking this odd approach of blowing their load on 1-2 episodes (season 5 and 6)
hal1ax 06.15.16	s5 is prob my least favorite. soooo much filler
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	"But hardhome doe!!!! xD"
hal1ax 06.15.16	lol ya hardhome is one of the best
protokute 06.15.16	i guess the problem is not on the pacing, as there are books that are not even finished. but it's just me that's starting to get bored of the season, and the bad execution, mostly on this series, surely helps to that. (i got what the series wanted to show us, what it tried to make us think of, and i now i'm not so interested in following the story, and to think that there is 2 more seasons to seewho's going to sit in the throne, how will they finaly see the fucking big problem that there is "north of the wall", ahhhh)
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	While im still excited about GoT, I do think its time for another big budget drama/action show I remember there was some show on MTV that was doing their own big budget fantasy series but i havent watched it/heard much buzz
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.15.16	"genuinely shocked you dug the episode pots, I found a lot more stuff to be excited about in earlier episodes personally" to be fair i had a head full of CBD tincture when I watched this last one and none whatsoever for the rest of the season and CBD makes me like 4000x less of a grumpy twat so yeah
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	I want video game shows to take off. Sounds odd but if the right game is chosen, i think it could work. (movies clearly aren't)
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.15.16	but yeah i cant really decide if this or last season was worse but they were/are both awful af so far
hal1ax 06.15.16	ahh ya. i don't think I've ever watched GoT not stoned. maybe thats why i am liking this season
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.15.16	"the arya chase was essentially a scooby doo running through doors scene to waste time. completely unneccessary, how many shots did we have to see of the faceless girl hilariously running with her hands at her side. " lmao true dat
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	Im actually sorry to hear that pots. Ive had anxiety issues and used prozac a while back and it sucked. Now i have no anxiety but panic disorder, no bueno
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.15.16	"ahh ya. i don't think I've ever watched GoT not stoned. maybe thats why i am liking this season" haha probably. i mean CBD isnt psychoactive but even so with the rest of the season by the end of each episode im glossing over the few redeeming qualities to pick the stupid shit to fucking pieces, but with this one by the end it was the opposite "yeah but the hound smashed a dude in the dick with a hatchet."
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.15.16	"Im actually sorry to hear that pots. Ive had anxiety issues and used prozac a while back and it sucked. Now i have no anxiety but panic disorder, no bueno" I started using CBD for back pain actually. As an alternative to having to take advil or tylenol ever because i really hate that shit. My job is hard on the back sometimes. that being said i noticed the anti-anxiety properties pretty quick. I don't have any more or less anxiety issues than the next guy (i think everyone really does to some degree) but it definitely takes the edge off of social anticipation if you know what i mean. also it helps me sleep. so basically i started taking it for pain and now i just take it for everything lol.
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	"youre shit at dying, you know that?"
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.15.16	for elaborations sake I stopped smoking weed 4 years ago when I started college because it made me feel like my life was in shambles and then once that phase was over and I started enjoying it here and there again there was no point in redeveloping a vice I've already managed to nix.
hal1ax 06.15.16	ya CBD's are rly good anti-inflammatory. i used to make CBD oil and use it topically for joint pain / muscle tension and it worked wonders. ya fuck all pharmaceuticals
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.15.16	stuff rules i love it me driving to work in the morning without CBD: "RAHIURHEIOUEUIHFAIEFHEIUF (80 km/h) EWFBEFBEWHFJQJWFIWFPQWFEOIFEOFEWQFE FUK" me driving to work in the morning with CBD: "IS IT TOO LATE NOW TO SAY SORRRRYY!?!??! (50 km/h) DA-NA-NA-NANANA"
Nikkolae 06.15.16	"little finger will prob show up with the Vale's army to reinforce Jon as he is about to be defeated." he's probably gonna keep winterfell to himself, like the narc ratted out on ned, are ya'll forgetting it
hal1ax 06.15.16	i honestly wouldn't be surprised if the series ended with littlefinger as king
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.15.16	"like the narc ratted out on ned, are ya'll forgetting it" honestly pretty sure i've forgotten literally everything thats ever happened in this show prior to the red wedding
DoofusWainwright 06.15.16	I thought this series started pretty well l, loved Bran's visions, but got a bit worried from 'hold the door' on. That seemed rushed and OTT and since then most stuff has kept to that format. I don't think any episode this Hound/Jaime heavy could be classed shit, was a decent enough episode I thought. Ep 6 last season was possibly the worst ever, maybe ep 6 this season in second place.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.15.16	the hold the door shit was the most hamfisted stupid bullshit of the entire show ever
BallsDeep 06.15.16	How about the fact Tyrions stupid joke scene lasted longer than the one which showed us how white walkers were created. The pacing is completely fucked this season, i like how its faster than previous seasons but they dont know how to delegate the optimal amount of time to each character each episode.
MeatSalad 06.15.16	"the hold the door shit was the most hamfisted stupid bullshit of the entire show ever" I actually thought it could've made for a good scene if it wasn't for the morbidly obese kid on the ground shouting "HOLD THE DOOOR" over and over again
DoofusWainwright 06.15.16	I think throughout all the seasons they've always tried to have some leisurely talky scenes with Tyrion, that's his thing, these 'twiddling thumbs' scenes don't bother me I guess if I had to summarise my major complaint with this season it would be 'rushing major plot developments, cutting most of the build up/suspense and then over egging the big moment itself' The Bran thing could have been better without the LOTR style millions of scuttling zombies BS. Just have it so they can't come inside the Raven's digs and only the White Walkers can come in, that would have been more tense and would seem higher stakes. Hardhome was excellent and for some reason that Hold the Door scene wasn't effective or at all scary
DoofusWainwright 06.15.16	The Preston review of the episode was v funny. His weak spot is still analysing dialogue/motivations which he gets wrong a lot and makes you wonder what life experiences he's had to draw on as they do come across as 'nerd trapped in box'. The Edmure/Jaime dialogue worked perfectly for example Some of his other plot hole issues can border on obsessive/pedantic...but on an open goal like the Arya plot line his take on it all is just gold.
Valkoor952 06.15.16	What a shit season.
Gyromania 06.15.16	that hold the door scene was actually really embarrassing, i thought. i couldn't help but cringe while watching it and thought it was a pretty asinine plot device
Gyromania 06.15.16	i feel like game of thrones stopped being a top-tier show after season 4
Gmork89 06.15.16	I've noticed a drop in the CGI quality too. I remember the Blackwater episode when they blew up Stannis' ships, that was the coolest looking explosion I had ever seen. Like holy shit that felt visceral. Now it's starting to look like Sci Fi channel, I still love the show and characters, but it has been down hill for a bit now. Though this season has been pretty enjoyable compared to the last 2. Episode 9 guaranteed to be awesome though. I thought the hold the door scene was pretty awesome though.
Gyromania 06.15.16	what? season 4 was amazing dude. this season has the weirdest pacing ever, a lot of dull conversations between middle-tier characters, and just feels really uneventful.
Gmork89 06.15.16	You're right 4 was awesome I take it back, I was thinking it was 7 for some reason. Was it really only 5 that was turds? Feels like its been longer, once they get done with everything outside of Westeros I'll be happy. They could have a million scenes of Tyrion telling jokes and drinking as long as I get my medieval backdrop and locations I care about. Also, 5 had some awesome episodes, the internet has really brainwashed me into thinking the show has been bad for a long time but 5 was really the only place it's stumbled hard for me, this season has been average I would say.
Gyromania 06.15.16	i'm inclined to agree with that. season 5 was pretty blah but it had some redeeming moments (the coliseum when danerys' dragon came in was pretty rad). this one is definitely better but it just feels like they're going through the motions. i think it's partly my fault though. game of thrones largely had a lot of the same players for 4 seasons and i loved almost all of them. season 4 killed off a good chunk of them and changed the face of the game so that things would never be the same. once tyrion left king's landing i thought his story arc became sort of boring and contrived (very evident in last week's episode). back in season 4 i had a much different picture of how events would unfold. it's a season that was great but something time has made different
Gmork89 06.15.16	Definitely see what you mean, also to further what you're getting at about the same characters for 4 seasons. It also had the same ongoing arc's overall, when they got around season 5 and all of a sudden it turned into Jon being captain of the watch rather than having that struggle of being just another brother, the hound leaving, Arya leaves westeros, Tyrion leaves kings landing, Stannis and Davos splitting up, Jaymie leaving king's landing. It kind of restarted a lot of story arcs and picked them up in less interesting ways I think. A lot of these points could have been before Season 5 I'm a little rusty on when everything played out. A lot of arcs that had been building since the first 2 seasons kind of went totally different directions around that time I think.
Gyromania 06.15.16	yeah it spun off into a bunch of different arcs, and a lot of them are too scatterbrained and underdeveloped to be super enjoyable atm. a part of me wishes i didn't know about anything post-season 4. i feel like knowing what happens has somewhat tarnished my enjoyment of earlier seasons
DoofusWainwright 06.15.16	Last episodes deaths updates Sadly no prediction winners
Gyromania 06.15.16	sadly no YOUR FACE
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	im a bit late to the party but i just wanted to say that "hold the door" is canon as per martin himself so dont get pissed at d&d for that i actually dug it, gave me some feels
Valkoor952 06.15.16	Season 4 was the best GOT season period. One of the best tv seasons of all time dare I say. Season 5 had some good episodes, but it started slowly going downhill. And season 6 is just terrible. I haven't watched the last episode and honestly I have no desire to do so. It just feels like I'm going through the motions when I'm watching GOT right now, kind of like the show itself.

tacos n stuff 06.15.16	i pretty much agree with all points except switch season 5 and 6 around, i think this season overall is better than 5 but season 4 is probably my favorite season of television ever
Shemson 06.15.16	Just scrolled through to see the death predictions so far and had to laugh again at High Sparrow's suggested death!
Shemson 06.15.16	Also, I agree season four was best GOT and IMO is tied with season 4 Dexter, season 4/5 Breaking Bad and season 2/3/4/5 of Fringe as my favourite TV ever.
hal1ax 06.15.16	man I'm surprised at how many ppl dislike the hold the door scene. i dug it. like it was a little haphazardly done but at least it was unique and surprising
Tyler. 06.15.16	The show feels so aimless now. This and last season were so underwhelming I may not bother with the next one
Tyler. 06.15.16	Like season 23 is going to come around and the show will still feel like it's still gearing up
hal1ax 06.15.16	i think 7 (or 8?) is the last season. but ya i feel you. the formula is pretty irritating. like 7 dead episodes per 3 exciting ones each season.
Gyromania 06.15.16	i think the next season is supposed to be the last one. and yeah season 4 easily the best. loved pretty much every single episode. i know a lot of people are divided on it, but i thought the battle at the wall was absolutely amazing. alliser showed some deep humility to jon and rallied his men to fight by his side. it was great character development, until season 5 decided to shit all over that. they ruined stannis too, which is one of the worst offences of all.
hal1ax 06.15.16	yes s4 and s1 are the best imo. ya the stannis cutoff was shockingly idiotic. he was one of the best chars
hal1ax 06.15.16	they also got rid of barriston selmy :[ i loved that dude
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	Season 8 is the official end, with s7 having 7 episodes and s8 having 6 PS: you know what fuck it, i though hold the door was an amazing idea the scenes leading up to it were kinda lame (summer literally jumping into a group of whites and dying instantaneously) but the actual hold the door scene was very nicely done.
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	and trust me hal1ax, there's a vocal minority here, fairly certain "The Door" is like the 3rd highest rated (by critics and fans) episode of the series
Dmax28 06.15.16	I thought the first 5 episodes of this season showed it moving in a very satisfying direction. Episode 6 and 7 were kind of slow but a solid build for the last three. That's why episode 8 was such a bitter disappointment with most of the plot developments making little sense. Also feel like the Battle For Winterfell hasn't been properly built up. Ramsey has been absent for what like 5 episodes? And Jon has had no character development for the season aside from being resurrected (which almost no one ever mentioned) and deciding to lead an army.
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	hit the nail on the head there dude ep6 and 7 built up ep8 so well and then ep8 was just a total mess
hal1ax 06.15.16	ya i agree. the escalation up to the battle of winterfell could've been done a lot better. and ya the jon snow development this season has been odd... like he is the same fuckin person despite being brought back from the dead? or maybe he has become a bit weaker or something, like Barrick dondarion. maybe we will see something like that come to surface in the upcoming battle episode.
Tyler. 06.15.16	sansa may be the worst character in the whole show. jon is up there too
hal1ax 06.15.16	the actress that plays sansa just fucking sucks i think. i mean, the writing for her isn't great either but... that chick just can't act very well
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	Jon and sansa are fine, there are FAR worse characters them tbh
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	missande, sand snakes, ellaria, and dany are my least favs
Tyler. 06.15.16	the writing for sansa is just ?????? and jon literally has no personality like fucking negative charisma i hate both of them. but its fine the show will keep giving tyrion 5 mins every other episode i guess that fine
hal1ax 06.15.16	missandei is cool and ultra hot soooo... >>sansa
Tyler. 06.15.16	yeah shes much more interesting
DoofusWainwright 06.15.16	tacos I just didn't like the zombies in the Hold the Door scene, Hardhome they were genuinely frightening, in that episode not so much
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	definitely agree, in the scenes leading up to hold the door, it was like "attack of the spoopy skeletons"
Gyromania 06.15.16	spoopy. like poopy but with an s
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	so lets get on topic here guys, who's dying next ep?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.15.16	so the winterfell battle is next episode and jon has like seven and a half units cool
tacos n stuff 06.15.16	tormond and davos are goners and it makes me sad cause theyre like the best secondary characters in the north rn
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.15.16	very true
Crymsonblaze 06.16.16	davos is legit the best secondary character in the whole show. hope he makes it
Crymsonblaze 06.16.16	"sansa may be the worst character in the whole show. jon is up there too" lol
ZippaThaRippa 06.16.16	Davos is pretty cool. He was mostly just irritating in the books. And then he ded
hal1ax 06.16.16	Tormund is my man
hal1ax 06.16.16	fuckin 7 foot tall dude wielding double one handed axes
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.16.16	I used to hate Sansa with a firey passion but I don't mind her anymore but I also didn't used to be attracted to her and now I am coincidence ?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.16.16	Melisandre is still bae tho.
Valkoor952 06.16.16	Sansa is so annoying honestly. I hate the actress as well, it's just I really dislike her face and her voice.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.16.16	i used to agree but darys is way worse in both regards tbh
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.16.16	literally has one facial expression and is also possibly the worst actress of all time
BallsDeep 06.16.16	Season 5 had the hardhome slaughter which was one of the best scenes in the history of the show. Daenerys 'dues ex machina' escape from the Colosseum i thought was shit and the CGI when she was riding drogon made me burst out laughing. But I hate her character more than meryn trant so Im a bit biased towards her scenes.
hal1ax 06.16.16	"the CGI when she was riding drogon made me burst out laughing. " same
Tyler. 06.16.16	Never understood the darys love
BallsDeep 06.16.16	I don't think its that abundant (anymore) because everyone i've talked to hates her.
RadicalEd 06.16.16	"Sansa is so annoying honestly. I hate the actress as well, it's just I really dislike her face and her voice." I dunno I think she played the dumb, spoiled brat really well and made me hate her and now shes comin around to being much more like her mother and I'm starting to really like her. Her arc is like 100000 times better done than Arya's who used to be amazing and is complete shit tier now. I mean, maybe they turn it around now but the seasons 5-6 have been hard to forgive.
DoofusWainwright 06.16.16	Not every character we think is 'on the good side' is supposed to be likeable I think we were supposed to dislike young Sansa and she's still not without her faults Dany we are supposed to have huge reservations about too
BallsDeep 06.16.16	and what of sweet sweet robin of the vale?
Shemson 06.16.16	Well sweet Robin won't have anything to do with it but I'm pretty sure his Vale boys are gonna show up and save the day this week in the battle of the bastards. Little Finger gonna rock up with the Knights of the vale and be like 'sorry about getting you raped and stuff Sansa love, saved your life again just know tho...' Either that or halfway through the battle both sides get attacked by wights but that can't really happen unless they show them getting over the wall which can't all be crammed into one episode.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.17.16	damn a three way battle with the white walkers would be epic as fuckkk
hal1ax 06.17.16	is aryas dire wolf still alive?? didn't that thing just run off in like s1 never to be seen again
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.17.16	the dire wolf deaths are getting less and less engaging or emotional too
hal1ax 06.17.16	god i know. bran's dire wolf just fuckin kamikaze leaps into a quazillion ghoulish ass motherfuckers and it bought him like an extra 2.5 seconds swweet
hal1ax 06.17.16	I'm hoping as soon as Dany gets to westeros, aryas D wolf comes out of the woodworks and bites her fucking face off
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.17.16	^^^that would be a great way to gain back all the viewers who think the show sucks now and to lose all the ones who still think its good
tacos n stuff 06.17.16	arya needs to reunite with nymeria asap, and dany dying while tyrion, jon, and someone else take over dragon duties would be wonderful
hal1ax 06.17.16	I'm pretty sure jon has targaryen blood so ya maybe he can take over on dragon duty
tacos n stuff 06.17.16	mel could kill dany cause she is false azor ahai unlike our glorious lord manbun stark
tacos n stuff 06.17.16	theres tyrion targaryen theories too that i dont buy but theyre there plus tyrion targaryen just doesnt sound right
hal1ax 06.17.16	so the new red priestess isn't as hot as melisandre but she is still pretty hot so i am content
tacos n stuff 06.17.16	new priestess is hot af but mel has some glorious tits for a 38(?) year old
hal1ax 06.17.16	Ya pretty ridic
Crymsonblaze 06.17.16	i legit feel like dany is going to end up being the villain of the entire show. she's that unlikable.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.17.16	melisandre is hottest ever
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.17.16	"has some glorious tits for a 38(?) year old" she has glorious tits for any any age year old
Avagantamos 06.17.16	she's hot but I wasn't thrilled when she turned into an old lady and got naked :(
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.17.16	yeah the show died to me that scene tbh
BallsDeep 06.17.16	Well If we're talking tits then Sansa from the play in Braavos had a pretty unbeatable set
EmailAccounts 06.17.16	Jon snow tho
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.17.16	literally what about him
EmailAccounts 06.17.16	His tits
BallsDeep 06.17.16	Samwell Tarly has a sizable pair too lets not forget
tacos n stuff 06.20.16	episode was predictable but by god the directing and cinematography were sublime. Same guy who directed hardhome, god knows why d&d havent been using him more
Tyler. 06.20.16	Lmao that battle scene was awful.
hal1ax 06.20.16	battle scene was dope. and ya taco i agree, predictable as fuck but pretty good. stoked tormond is still alive
DrMaximus 06.20.16	Predictable af yeah but fitting. Rickon dying right before he got to Jon was great. Didn't expect Tormond to survive but glad he did. There's still hope for Trienne :D
Trebor. 06.20.16	They did a good job of making war look horrible and disgusting The Dany stuff was lol as usual "I want to kill everyone" "But Dany, that's bad" " OK you're right"
hal1ax 06.20.16	Haha
hal1ax 06.20.16	Ya I actually really liked the battle. Love that scene where Jon is literally drowning in dead bodies
Nikkolae 06.20.16	ramsay was supposed to get his wang eaten first goddamit edit: RIP wun wun
hal1ax 06.20.16	lol wun wun single-handedly prevented a siege. #neverforget
climactic 06.20.16	god damn the last 10 minutes of that battle were insane. great epi but agreed w/ everyone, fuck dany
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	best episode of the season obviously but the bad part is that ramsy was like the last good thing about the show and now he's gone. at least he went out shining. of course the dary stuff agreed was awf as per usual and lol at even more off screen battles for that too but aside from the norm with her scenes im actually stoked about the greyjoys going over there. at least darys is consistently building a cast around herself of characters that are far less shitty than her. hopefully they will take the focus off her a bit and also finally fucking get her going somewhere for fucks sakes. the battle of the bastards was great, the vale coming was predictable BUT I appreciate that they made it that Sansa seemingly sent them word and got them over there. because if we are being fair here Jon was being a fucking dumbbbbbfuck and should have been listening to Sansa the whole time. Jon should be dead all things considered. He fucked up hard. I'm glad they didn't pussyfoot around that. Sansa saved the day because she realized charging in like a retard was going to get everyone destroyed. Other than Jon being completely foolish as fuck the entire episode the only other thing going on in the north that was utterly preposterous and stupid was Davos magically finding the carving he gave Shireen. Just wanders a random direction in the vast north and happens to stumble upon the place where they burned her and find her carving miraculously intact and intuitively somehow figures out note for note exactly what happened without a single doubt in his mind. thats even worse than when buddy found darys jewelry.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	and tbh one of the best things of the whole episode was Sansa turning away in disgust as ramsy starts getting eaten and then stopping and being like "hold up actually this is getting me off hard" and staying to watch instead. then walking out with a fucking grin. sansa was possibly the worst character of the entire show at the beginning but she's getting better and better. meanwhile dary just gets worse and worse, and she was one of the most exciting characters at the beginning.
hal1ax 06.20.16	well stannis was camped just outside winterfell when shireen was sacrificed and davos and co. were camped outside winterfell so i guess the chances are not astronomical but lol at it being perfectly intact and him putting the pieces together so easily
hal1ax 06.20.16	ya that last shot was amazing. barely any lighting, sansa strolling away with the sound of dogs ripping flesh apart and she just cracks that super faint and deranged smile
hal1ax 06.20.16	kings landing made sansa hard. i like how she isn't like the typical fuckin honor-driven girl scout that most of the starks are
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	@hal1 yeah but "outside winterfell" is a pretty big area, but yeah still intact? not buried by any of the wood or like MAYBE THE FUCKING SNOW SINCE ITS SNOWING ALL THE FUCKING TIME THERE. and then just knowing what went down? maybe ramsy burned shireen in front of stannis after he defeated his army for all he knows. why would his first assumption be that melisandre convinced stannis to burn her? so dumb. also more on jons stupidity. gets butthurt at the advice "don't lose" and "don't do what he wants you to do" >proceeds to do what ramsy wanted him to do >loses (like lets face it, jons army fucking lost. sansa's won.)
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	"kings landing made sansa hard. i like how she isn't like the typical fuckin honor-driven girl scout that most of the starks are" agreed. i have high expectations for her future. especially now that arya fuckin blows and all the other shitty starks are dead except for that shitty bran kid who is the shittiest of all of them.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	for a moment i thought that that first guy who falls on Jon was either davos or tormund and thought they were going to get trampled to death protecting jon
hal1ax 06.20.16	haha ya. jon is just green as fuck. he needed to be humbled. and ya now that i think about it, that is pretty stupid that davos would immediately accuse melisandre. i mean-assuming that is what is about to go down, as judging from how next weeks ep looks.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	oh yeah also lol at rickon running straight across the field like a fucking dummmmbbasssssss
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	yeah the preview for next episode showed him accusing her basically
hal1ax 06.20.16	i audibly laughed at the rickon scene
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	zooms out, shows all 5 nearby burning wood piles that he should probably be zig-zagging towards runs straight
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	i actually thought for just a fraction of a second when jon was running up by himself that the show might actually be ballsy and just kill him off right there (which he deserved for his stupidity tbh). i would have honestly been satisfied with that. it would be a much needed reality check for the show. but then i remembered that game of thrones stopped being relentless like that after season 4
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	and here are the 3 greatest comments that will ever be made about this episode; http://imgur.com/Uw3pf8e
hal1ax 06.20.16	ya that degree of realism would be pretty wild. would totally undermine the importance of the melisandre resurrection but would've rekindled the old school GoT shock value that has been missing
hal1ax 06.20.16	"http://imgur.com/Uw3pf8e" haha so good
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	i wish our site was this funny; http://imgur.com/YyPiTGm "ya that degree of realism would be pretty wild. would totally undermine the importance of the melisandre resurrection but would've rekindled the old school GoT shock value that has been missing" i think in a way it would make melisandres resurrection way more important tbh. at this point they just have this really murky ambiguous thing going on with the red god where you just have no idea what to think anymore and don't really care all that much about it anyway cuz the show has just danced around that stuff the whole show because i dont think they actually know how to deal with it. if he just got murdered after being resurrected it would show this gods true nature with some finality. we already know he is 'real' at this point since we've seen resurrections, but other than that we know next to nothing concretely about his nature since his hand in things has seemed so arbitrary and lacking in inertia this entire time. if he resurrected snow just to kill him we'd know he's just straight up a malevolent trickster god and doesnt actually have any plan for anything.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	i also would have been happy with jon snow getting trampled to death by his own army.
hal1ax 06.20.16	ya true they could take it that route. but then i guess it would undermine melisandre's character though. all of her visions of stannis and jon would be lies, and the power the god 'lent' her for resurrection, just so he could retake the life, would be like mockery of mankind through melisandre. actually the more i think about the cooler it seems lol. she would just be used to facilitate the fire gods malevolent will
hal1ax 06.20.16	im interested to see how they're going to fold arya back into the westeros mix
Avagantamos 06.20.16	hoping for reunion with hound
hal1ax 06.20.16	that would be sweet
Avagantamos 06.20.16	hopefully he will set her straight, she was one of my faves in the good old days
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	"GeneralLeoHodor Hodor Hodor 279 points 5 hours ago* Man, Jon's whole discussion with Melisandre was like that time when you're in camp before you advance in the main quest, and you talk with all the NPCs to make sure you didn't miss anything." "ya true they could take it that route. but then i guess it would undermine melisandre's character though. all of her visions of stannis and jon would be lies, and the power the god 'lent' her for resurrection, just so he could retake the life, would be like mockery of mankind through melisandre." EXACTLY AND THATS FUCKING AWESOME!! "actually the more i think about the cooler it seems lol. she would just be used to facilitate the fire gods malevolent will" and have you seen how jaded she has become after stannis died? like she straight up hates her own god now. she's just accepted that she's his bitch and doesn't even give a fuck how anything goes down anymore. it legit seems like she herself has been completely heartbroken by the discovery of the true nature of her own god. so yeah, that would be cool.
hal1ax 06.20.16	ya she, and the fire god/magic in general, has def become more interesting since she became dispelled by stannis' death but like maybe she is just kind of a noob and is interpreting the visions noobishly? maybe that red priestess in mereen knows waddup
Avagantamos 06.20.16	I'm rewatching the series after next week's episode. so much more will make sense
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	@hal1 but it seems like everyone who worships the red god 'think' they know what up like the brotherhood seem like they think they know what up, and what exactly is it that they do again? wander around waiting to have a magical quest?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	"[–]ArcticZerooHot Pie 367 points 5 hours ago looks like Ramsay participated in (•_•) / ( •_•)>⌐■-■ / (⌐■_■) one on Wun combat permalink"
hal1ax 06.20.16	ya true true.
hal1ax 06.20.16	lol
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	i read someone say they think shireens sacrifice was actually what was needed for the power to resurrect jon and thought that was probably pretty accurate if the red god isnt as much of a mischievous cunt as we think he is
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	like she did say that "all i see is snow" line way back, maybe she is indeed just shitty at interpreting signs and thought the red god gave a fuck about stannis but was actually just using stannis as a tool to get to jon.
hal1ax 06.20.16	that would totally make sense and it might also indicate that melisandre was mistakenly seeing stannis in the flames when that fate was actually Jon's
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	yeah. either of those paths are fine to me but it would be much more fresh if they did pill the former tactic and make it turn out the red god is just a cunt.
PlatonicMushroom 06.20.16	why the fuck didn't they arm wun-wun with a 20-foot baseball bat could smash phalanxes, toss it on cavalry and ram the gates of winterfell if the opportunity arises rip
Flugmorph 06.20.16	new episode gave me PTSD
p4p 06.20.16	isn't Jon the champion of R'hllor? cuz i don't see any character with a bigger key-role other than him at this point.
worthlessscab 06.20.16	that whole abandoning your plan completely and charging into the enemy alone, essentially dooming yourself, your forces and everything you fight for over something that was expected, you knew and were explicitly warned about and were prepared for was the single dumbest thing ever done in this entire series.. just what the FUCK
PlatonicMushroom 06.20.16	How many soldiers did wun wun kill He was shown punching a horse and ripping a guy apart. Rest of the time he just flailed his arms around like a tard. Any decent wildling warrior killed more than two, so in the end wun wun was a glorified battering ram
tempest-- 06.20.16	i'd guess he killed his fair share
MO 06.20.16	k that was a fucking sick episode holy shit
BallsDeep 06.20.16	killer episode, actually exceeded my high expectations and Ramsay met a fitting demise, although Id prefer that Ghost finished him off (who was AWOL the entire fkn episode). Only problem is they have an insane amount of shit to cram into the last episode but it should be fire hehe
tempest-- 06.20.16	yeha i was talking to a coworker the other day, saying that because theres SO many characters and different storylines, it takes about 3 episodes to get through all the plots and sub plots which is really annoying. hopefully they are either going to have longer episodes or more episodes next season.
anarchistfish 06.20.16	great ep predictable but well executed that one scene with just jon snow in the heat of battle for like a minute was a highlight rickon was stupid and deserved to die
smaugman 06.20.16	he was a stupid shit for running away like a fucking lvl 1 NPC. GO PRO TACTICS, NIGGA
anarchistfish 06.20.16	doesn't sound like someone worthy of inheriting Winterfell. The Lord of light has spoken
EvoHavok 06.20.16	Man, that was a brutal and well shot episode.
tacos n stuff 06.20.16	I really thought I was the only one who browses the GoT subreddit Some of the shit there is hilarious
smaugman 06.20.16	nope
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	Ghost eating ramsay would be like 87% less "poetic justice" than his hounds eating him. That's just dumb to think that would be better.
MO 06.20.16	I still think he should have been flayed, but getting eaten by his hounds was the next best thing
ZippaThaRippa 06.20.16	That was a brutally uncomfortable episode. Going in to it I was 90 percent sure the knights of the Vale were gonna show up with a smirking Petyr to win the day. As the battle went on though I got less and less confident. Incredibly surprised that Davos, Jon and Thormund all lived.
ZippaThaRippa 06.20.16	Yeah Ramsay getting eaten by his own dogs while Sansa looks out remorselessly was the best way for him to go. His smug satisfaction finally abandoned him. They were loyal, now they're starving
ZippaThaRippa 06.20.16	He wasn't really that engaging imo. He was one dimensional. There is no way that anyone was going to hold any sympathy for him. We were all just rooting for him to die. Good acting though. He has almost certainly ruined his entire career unless he plans to be a typecast bad guy.
DoofusWainwright 06.20.16	Battle was grim as fuck No plot surprises though
tacos n stuff 06.20.16	I feel the same way toad, Iwan's character was a one way street but he pulled it off so well that i really didnt care I really dont know who to root against now...the high sparrow i guess? His actor is great too but i dont feel as engaged in his storyline
DoofusWainwright 06.20.16	Music before the battle was also awesome
hal1ax 06.20.16	ramsay was ok but he needed to die. the antagonist needs to shift over to the night king and eh i don't really agree with him being engaging. i never thought he was interesting or anything. he is just not a very complex character at all. just a sociopathic sadist with like zero backstory that we know of
DoofusWainwright 06.20.16	I think the interest with Ramsay was from his level of cunning, working out what he actually wants other than just sadistic pleasure and then after that thinking just how can you hurt someone like that I guess the question was always 'does he have any respect/feelings for Roose?' And after they answered that you were left thinking there's nothing he wouldn't do
hal1ax 06.20.16	Ya but for me it just turned into predictability. Like what is the most fucked up thing you could do in this scenario ? And yep that's what happens. I guess some of his psychological games are interesting. Like back when he was convincing theon that he is helping him to escape, only so that he could lift his spirits before breaking him lol
BallsDeep 06.20.16	Ramsay was far less two dimensional than the fucking Nights King, whom we know nothing about and as far as we know may not even be able to speak. He also seems like the type who would just pierce your heart with his ice spear not psychologically torture you and then flay you alive. Thats almost merciful in the GoT world. Anyway did anyone want to bludgeon Daenerys in the face with a blunt object as badly as I did this episode and wipe that smug expression off her face and the stupid misplaced sense of self righteousness that she has.
ZippaThaRippa 06.20.16	I'm pretty sure turning all of your friends into fucking mindless undead monsters if a form of psychological torture you twit
hal1ax 06.20.16	"Ramsay was far less two dimensional than the fucking Nights King, whom we know nothing about and as far as we know may not even be able to speak." but by your own admission, we know almost nothing about the night king, which would make the claim that ramsay is less one-dimensional meaningless. all i know is that, at least the night king has some rich back story and lore tied in with his character, which is more than i can say for ramsay.
DoofusWainwright 06.20.16	Little Finger may yet reveal himself as the ultimate villain...or if you want more of a wildcard how about Varys?
hal1ax 06.20.16	littlefinger is just ravenous for that fire puss
Gyromania 06.20.16	I thought Danny's battle against the slavers was better tbh. Great episode though
altertide0 06.20.16	"Anyway did anyone want to bludgeon Daenerys in the face with a blunt object as badly as I did this episode and wipe that smug expression off her face and the stupid misplaced sense of self righteousness that she has." Every time she appears this season is just cheesy. I actually skipped most of the newest episode's beginning (the whole slavers stuff) because I found myself unable to watch. The rest of the episode was pretty good though.
UpwardSpiral 06.20.16	Jaguar Paw lol.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.20.16	flaws aside and how much the show has gone downhill this episode satisfied me enough to stop bitching until next season lol
BeyondCosby 06.20.16	Damn that episode was amazing. It hit every emotion and really set things up nicely not only for the finale but for the seasons to come as well. This whole season might be one of the best ones yet.
Spado 06.21.16	Why didn't Ramsay just shoot Snow in the face instead of an already dying giant?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	because television
BlackLlama 06.21.16	Why didn't Rickon run an out pattern instead of the hail mary? because television [2]
Crymsonblaze 06.21.16	damn that was a good eppy
tacos n stuff 06.21.16	really loved it, same director is doing the finale too apparently the scene of jon drowning under the corpse pile wasnt in the script and it was the director's idea last minute. Ended up being one of the best scenes in the episode
hal1ax 06.21.16	ya episode 9's are pretty good in every season. feels a little formulaic
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	and the finale is usually a way less satisfying wind down
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	that being said id take that formula over season finale cliffhanger formula any day
hal1ax 06.21.16	"Ended up being one of the best scenes in the episode" ya my favorite scene of the ep. they did a good job of showing the randomness and chaos of war. like jon just getting lucky in those arrow showers / almost drowning in dead bodies. good shit
tacos n stuff 06.21.16	idk pots, season 4's finale was crazy all around and better than its ep 9 imo aside from that, yes the standard is ep9=real finale, ep10 = aftermath of ep 9
wwf 06.21.16	Ugh that episode is so satisfying
hal1ax 06.21.16	fuck i honestly forget so many. hardhome is definitely up there for me tho, as is some of the tyrion-heavy eps like his trial in the vale/kings landing, etc.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	yeah tyrions trial and oberyn face smash probs
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	I feel like this season has been one of the best for me. I read all of the books as a kid so the first five seasons of the show were no surprise to me. This is the first season where the show has been in almost entirely uncharted territory. It's scary not knowing what is about to happen. I'm into it.
BallsDeep 06.21.16	The good news is that episode 10's director is the same guy who shot the last episode and Hardhome, so if there is going to be any sort of battle (which it looks like there might be) he is the guy who knows how to execute them. Apparently the crushing scene was completely impromptu and that ended up being one of the most effective and realistic scenes in the battle. On a side note I fucking hated the exchange between Yara Greyjoy and Daenerys, so cringeworthy, and also how the fuck did they reach Mereen that quickly from the other side of Westeros and manage to enter the pyramid while it was under seige?
hal1ax 06.21.16	i think the battle was over by the time they got there. dragons doin work son
Faraudo 06.21.16	The thing about Rickon not zig-zagging still bothers me, not because it's stupid or anything, just because most people still don't figure out that the kid was dead anyways. I mean, if Ramsay failed to hit him, he could just tell his other 90293930038303 archers to shoot the shit out of him.
DoofusWainwright 06.21.16	Best ever episode is still the Red Wedding for me
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	Yeah I was just going to say BD, they really are playing fast and loose with geography now. Mereen is far the fuck away from the Iron Islands. Not to mention the Vale is a long ass way from Winterfell but whatever
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	The timeline is all screwy.
DoofusWainwright 06.21.16	This was an all time top 10 episode and yeah I liked the Yara stuff even if it was a little cheesy. Girl tried it on.
Faraudo 06.21.16	Didn't Yara, Theon and co. went to Braavos (wich is closer to Mereen than the Iron Islands) on episode 8 right before they sailed towards Mereen?
hal1ax 06.21.16	how do you gauge distance though? like i have maps in some of my books but there is no key telling you like 1 inch = whatever the fuck miles
hal1ax 06.21.16	oh ya that's true they came from braavos
DoofusWainwright 06.21.16	Zippa I think the timeline has always been screwy - battle of bastards and the end of the masters might have happened months apart. There can be different amounts of time passing between different plots between episodes. I think each series covers at least a year so the crazy journeys are just about feasible
Faraudo 06.21.16	The only real plot hole there is how the fuck they got into the pyramid. Other than that, I don't see any real problem. It's understandable that people forget scenes as uneventful as the ones with Yara and Theon in Braavos so yeah.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	i dunno man you can basically look at the geography of these places and safely say they are fucking far as fuck apart.
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	Yeah I just try not to let the timeline fuckery bother me. This season it seemed more prevalent than before though because they are finally trying to tie some of these disparate stories together. The major characters are now clumping together in preparation for the finale.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	like these niggas on horses and boats i can pretty much guarantee they ain't galloping and sailing to winterland and desertworld on call like let me send this pigeon "hey i need u to hit me up in winterland 5 days ago"
hal1ax 06.21.16	lol ya that's true. cold ass snowy islands to the middle of the desert = a long ass time
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	really to be honest the chances of the vale just happening to show up at the tail end of the battle are like 1743274371243721747234717234172374123 to 1. like sansa sends a pigeon they pack up their shit and head out on like a fucking week long horsey ride against the odds and roll the fuck in just as jon and co are turning into a puddle
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	I was kinda surprised the Hound didn't show up at the battle
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	"Hey I walked here in the span of one episode" "Hey Sansa, I knew your sister and we were cool back then so I'm cool with you, let me help you kill these Boltons" "Oh hey Brienne, you got here all the way from Riverrun in a day?" "Oh hey Arya, you're back from Braavos already, cool let's all hang out"
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	Winterfell Class of 2011 Reunion
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	Feat: Arya Sansa Jon The Hound Rickon's Corpse Bran Benjen Petyr
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	stop making me think about the show its making it stupid again
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	I always thought it was funny how in the books Catelyn came back from the dead as the vengeful Lady Stoneheart. She was hell-bent on avenging the deaths of her children. In reality, Robb was the only Stark who was actually dead and let's be honest he was a fucking stupid cunt anyways. The strong starks were all still around
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	Real talk: Sansa's character growth has been 10/10. She went from being a useless damsel in distress to one of the strongest leads on the show.
hal1ax 06.21.16	i can't even blame robb for abandoning all focus for that girl tho cmonnnnnnn ehhh
BallsDeep 06.21.16	They had to fastrack things eventually, if it kept on moving at the pace of season 1 and 2 the actors/actresses would die of old age before the story finished, but they could have atleast thrown in afew scenes to make it more believable like one of the greyjoys fleet sailing against violent seas or realizing that they may not have enough rations when theyre traversing the narrow sea or something to make the distance seem significant. Im probably looking too deep into this arent I
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	mfw when Ygritte was supposed to be kinda ugly and then they cast ROSE FUCKING LESLIE, THE HOTTEST GINGER ON EARTH
hal1ax 06.21.16	well ya no one wants to look at ugly bitches runnin around
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	"you know a show's just starting to get good when the plot doesn't stand up to basic analysis" lmao "They had to fastrack things eventually, if it kept on moving at the pace of season 1 and 2 the actors/actresses would die of old age before the story finished," you say that and yet winter is still coming
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	"ROSE FUCKING LESLIE, THE HOTTEST GINGER ON EARTH" most debatable thing ever said
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	Not like ugly ugly but they mentioned her being a little bit funky looking. But I mean it's TV. Ramsay was supposed to be tall, chubby and ugly. Euron was supposed to be thin as a whip with long black hair and blue lips. Gregor was supposed to be 8 feet tall (for real). The only character that was well and truly nailed in terms of physical description in the books was the Hound. Rory McCann IS the Hound.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	tbh true
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	christina hendricks, emma stone, isla fisher, and karen gillan are all hotter red heads than rose leslie
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	Julianne Moore? JULIANNE MOORE? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	amy adams and julianne moore are some of the biggest lols of the century but whatever floats your boat i guess
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	rachel mcadams and kate mara tho they are also both hotter than rose and kirsten dunst
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	Pots I am utterly disappointed by your cliched taste in Redheads. Especially Emma Stone. You can't be serious. Rose Leslie destroys every single girl you mentioned. She is utterly gorgeous.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	rose mcgowan, faye reagan, Evan Rachel Wood theres just so many
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	Kirsten Dunst lmao. Okay. Maybe if you're a 12 year old stuck in 2003.
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	If we're talking porn stars. Elle Alexandra.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	"Pots I am utterly disappointed by your cliched taste in Redheads." yea rose leslie so edgy "Especially Emma Stone. You can't be serious." literally the only way to not think emma stone is hot as fuck is to want to not think she's hot as fuck for the sake of not thinking she's hot as fuck
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	rose leslie is like a 6/10
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	big meh to elle alexandra too tbh
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	I'm not saying Rose Leslie is edgy but damn dude Stone, Gillan, Mara etc are preeeeeeeeeeeetty basic white girl pretty. You could do a whole lot better in that demographic imo. I'm not into Emma Stone.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	zippa is really hung up on the 'mainstreamness' of physical attraction girls who are universally recognized as hot cant possibly be hot
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	Wow okay if you're not into Elle Alexandra then you and I have irreconcilable differences when it comes to white girls
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	"dude Stone, Gillan, Mara etc are preeeeeeeeeeeetty basic white girl pretty. You could do a whole lot better in that demographic imo." well considering you think rose leslie is better in that demographic and she looks like every ginger ever born id have to beg to differ
Rikkukun 06.21.16	Ramsey's death was one of the most satisfying things in the series
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	No I'm hung up on super basic white actresses being considered universally hot. It is actually a thing that really bugs me. But I like dark girls. So maybe it's me.
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	It's definitely me
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	i bet you think audrey hollander is hot
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	" It is actually a thing that really bugs me. But I like dark girls. So maybe it's me." its not like redheads are my jam either but the topic was red heads
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	You know what is actually crazy though. Gillian Anderson was maybe a 6.5/10 in the early seasons of the X-Files. 7/10 at best. But my god she has aged like a fine wine. She is a hard 9/10 nowadays if not higher. Pretty much the gold standard upon which all other milfs are judged.
hal1ax 06.21.16	I just looked at pics of Elle Alexandra and she is very hot
tempest-- 06.21.16	just wanted to say what doof said, "There can be different amounts of time passing between different plots between episodes" [2] pretty sure this has been said by D&D, might be wrong though also balllsdeep "but they could have atleast thrown in afew scenes to make it more believable like one of the greyjoys fleet sailing against violent seas or realizing that they may not have enough rations when theyre traversing the narrow sea or something to make the distance seem significant." yah this is why i was saying hopefully theres longer or more episodes next season. theres too many things going on to fit it all in, so they have to condense shit down and it makes it unbelievable
tempest-- 06.21.16	wow fucking 50 comments appeared while i was typing that
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	Redheads are definitely not my jam either. I guess when I find one appealing she has to be really appealing in a lot of ways. For some reason I really dig girls that are absolutely tiny and Rose Leslie fits the bill in spades. I could carry her in my arms no problem.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	"She is a hard 9/10 nowadays if not higher. Pretty much the gold standard upon which all other milfs are judged." disagreed very hard
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	also not into really tiny girls in fact they freak me out i guess we just have nothing in common whe it comes to women zipp
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	i have literally 0 attraction to current gillian anderson or young gillian anderson for that matter
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	but defitely even less so for current gill ander
tempest-- 06.21.16	same but ive never watched x files
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	shes annoying on it
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.21.16	that entire show is just mulder yelling "SCULLY!!??!?!?" and scully yelling "MULDER!?!??!?!?!"
tempest-- 06.21.16	lol sounds great
ZippaThaRippa 06.21.16	Well different strokes for different folks. We still cool though. The tiny women thing is just subconscious though. I don't seek them out. It just so happens that I date tiny girls and tiny girls are into me. Also, I am fairly unattractive but my girlfriends are significantly hotter and more intelligent than me on average. It's strange.
porcupinetheater 06.21.16	Monica Vitti in Red Desert is hottest redhead moment of all time, by a motherfucking mile
BallsDeep 06.21.16	Strange but in where I live in Australia in general couples are much more even in the looks department than they are in the US. I was shocked by the amount of fat balding 3/10 guys holding hands with slim 8/10 girls or vice versa. I guess personality counts for something over there more than it does here sadly.
BallsDeep 06.21.16	I second Rachel Mcadams and Kate Mara , i would do truly unspeakable things to them if a could get away with it
altertide0 06.21.16	"that entire show is just mulder yelling "SCULLY!!??!?!?" and scully yelling "MULDER!?!??!?!?!"" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBylZDLKQhY
Shemson 06.21.16	Episode nine never ever let's you down. Great job GOT. Nobody else love the fact that Tormund bit out Smalljohn Umber's throat? That was awesome that turncloak bastard!
BallsDeep 06.21.16	Yeah that was savage, definitely a move i would use in a life or death situation like that its basically a K.O if you do it right Im just mad they didnt give Giant Liam Neeson a big weapon of some sort and make him some armor he'd but unstoppable
DoofusWainwright 06.21.16	I'm starting to see how Sansa's actions have been foreshadowed all season ever since Brienne called her out for keeping secrets - Ramsay used Rickon as bait...but the bigger cat was Sansa using Jon as bait Remember Sansa watching the power of cavalry when Stannis was defeated There's some decent set up in there if you care to look for it
DoofusWainwright 06.21.16	Kind of poetic, defeating Stannis with cavalry and torturing Sansa directly led to his own defeat in battle as Sansa witnessed that battle and got her own horsey men
Shemson 06.22.16	I think Sansa played the last episode exactly how Littlefinger would've in her position. Hold a powerful card and wait until the most beneficial time to use it. Remember, Sansa is only heir to Winterfell if there is no male heir. As far as they're aware Bran is dead so they wait for Rickon to be dead. Then you think that after his heroics in this battle the north would love to legitimise Jon as a Stark right? The Vale only shows up when it looks like Jon is dead too. He's suffocating under a pile of dead bodies when they come and save the day. Sansa using Littlefinger tactics to sieze power was very interesting.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.22.16	" I guess personality counts for something over there more than it does here sadly." definitely not haha
PlatonicMushroom 06.22.16	i'm still upset that wun wun didn't have a baseball bat also how does arrowfire and cavalry charges cause bodies to pile up in like 4 meter heaps
PlatonicMushroom 06.22.16	"christina hendricks" those bewbs man
PlatonicMushroom 06.22.16	"And all it took was caring less, what a fucked up system" [2]
BallsDeep 06.22.16	2 very different conversations going on here
tempest-- 06.22.16	"also how does arrowfire and cavalry charges cause bodies to pile up in like 4 meter heaps" was thinking the same thing, maybe all arrows where aimed at that line and only that line so the only people that got hit were there thus creatnig the wall thing maybe?
hal1ax 06.22.16	well it seemed like the majority of the battle was fought in a super compressed area. so people were having to climb over bodies to get where they needed to be, and I'm sure during a lot of those climbs, there were more casualties from arrow showers so ya bodies get piled up i guess
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.22.16	ya
Onirium 06.23.16	I think Cersei being killed on order of her own son would be an interesting end to her arc. But at the same time everyone seems to be plotting to overthrow the High Sparrow, so perhaps she'll live
hal1ax 06.23.16	i hope we see more of lady olenna. she one of my favs
tacos n stuff 06.23.16	im really worried theyll kill her off and ill be pissed
BallsToTheWall 06.23.16	I wish Smalljon would've fucked up a few people before leaving. He was destroying Tormund and then all of a sudden BOOM! dying and dead. Fuck oaths, fuck kneeling, I loved that man.
hal1ax 06.23.16	lol that throat bite
tacos n stuff 06.23.16	i know the books are different than the show but the umbers are supposed to be loyal af to the starks so fuck smalljon
hal1ax 06.23.16	ya but robb fucked them all over tbh when he abandoned all focus and aspiration for that hot ass hoe
tacos n stuff 06.23.16	the ass was fat tho
hal1ax 06.23.16	worth it /10
PlatonicMushroom 06.24.16	"well it seemed like the majority of the battle was fought in a super compressed area. so people were having to climb over bodies to get where they needed to be, and I'm sure during a lot of those climbs, there were more casualties from arrow showers so ya bodies get piled up i guess" nah i really can't see how it could have happened irl. there are lots of videos on the GOT youtube channel about the last episode and in one of them the other writer talks about how in the american civil war bodies on the battlefields sometimes piled up to such a degree that they "formed an obstruction". but charging into rifle and field artillery fire is pretty different from medieval warfare the massive piles of bodies as a visual effect is bad because it looks stupid and as a narrative device or something it's unnecessary because they could've pulled off the encirclement and jon getting trampled and shit without it here's a pretty good account about fencing and medieval warfare. there's also GOT fight reviews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqBJDwwl1hA
PlatonicMushroom 06.24.16	anyway, that ass, it was indeed amazing
adr 06.24.16	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEQnwF4yoWI rip beautiful bastard
BallsToTheWall 06.24.16	I'm gonna be in a world of hurt if Tormund bites it.
PlatonicMushroom 06.24.16	they foreshadowed happy things for tormund and brienne of tarth and it'll be awful if it all turns to ash in the books i think it's been told that tormund has a thing for mighty warrior women and there are some hints that he might be pops to the mormont queen of sass
BallsToTheWall 06.24.16	Holy shit.
BallsDeep 06.26.16	So who's paying the price in tomorrow ep? I'm thinking possibly Jamie, Brienne or the high sparrow
adr 06.26.16	Tommen, Walder Frey, High Sparrow, possibly Margaery Can't see Jamie dying at all tbh.
BallsDeep 06.26.16	Only because he's a beloved character and his death would hit all of us pretty hard. I cant see them getting rid of Jon again, Sansa, Arya... actually possibly Davos. His death would hit alot of people like a ton of bricks yet his not a very important character plotwise.
hal1ax 06.26.16	Hopefully tommen dies. If the hound and/or tormund dies, I will be pissed
PlatonicMushroom 06.26.16	mel is of course also in danger
PlatonicMushroom 06.26.16	those bewbs are one of the few things that keep me watching
BallsDeep 06.26.16	ns this season has been so lacking in the tits/gash department (while weve copped a few unexpected cock shots), it's almost as though they think the male audience is invested in the characters and the plot. I mean season 1 was basically a porno with an elaborate storyline
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.26.16	"there are some hints that he might be pops to the mormont queen of sass" literally how
PlatonicMushroom 06.26.16	he sailed over and tamed some strange https://youtu.be/6lsOmZvdCeg?t=6m but it's only a theory
hal1ax 06.26.16	Lol ya that theory makes zero sense
BallsDeep 06.26.16	Have any major fan theories this season actually come to fruition though?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.26.16	actually after watching that video its not quite as far-fetched as it sounds
PlatonicMushroom 06.26.16	"Have any major fan theories this season actually come to fruition though?" jon got resurrected i'm pretty sure there's supposed to be more tower of joy stuff in the finale btw
hal1ax 06.26.16	Hopefullyyyy
PlatonicMushroom 06.26.16	i think howland reeds actor is listed in the credits or s/t
BallsDeep 06.26.16	I wanna see Lyanna Mormont 1v1 Sweet Robin of the Vale
hal1ax 06.26.16	Sam v. Robin
BallsDeep 06.26.16	Forreal now who do we think would win Tormund vs Sandor Clegane Vs Bronn vs Daario
Shemson 06.26.16	Tbh Lyanna and Robin will probably end up married given their ages and statuses. Dead excited about watching the finale after work tomorrow, reckon Cersei will turn kings landing to ashes as they've been hinting at for a while with the prophecy, Jaime's chat with Edmure and the repeated mentions this season of the mad kings wildfire chaches hidden all around the city...
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.26.16	what the fuck even is the tower of joy anyway like everyone seems so hyped on that and im just like oh cool a fucking flashback fuck off dont care
hal1ax 06.26.16	it's significant cuz that's where Lyanna stark was found dead. but there is a really strong theory postulating that she died in the tower of joy giving birth to rhaegar's son, aka jon snow
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.26.16	"Forreal now who do we think would win Tormund vs Sandor Clegane Vs Bronn vs Daario" i love Tormund but i think he would get severely fucked up by Bronn Tormund vs Sandor could be close but I think Sandor would come out on top Daario would get fucked. all in all i think Tormund and Daario would get fucked up rather quickly and it would come down to Sandor and Bronn. which would be the greatest fight ever.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.26.16	"it's significant cuz that's where Lyanna stark was found dead. but there is a really strong theory postulating that she died in the tower of joy giving birth to rhaegar's son, aka jon snow" word so its significant because of stuff that is much more prevalent in the books and therefore i have a very very minute understanding of?
anarchistfish 06.26.16	sandor would fuck all of them
hal1ax 06.26.16	yaw basically. they don't really explain it in the show, they're just like, here is this half-assed vision of ned fighting and looking curious derpp
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.26.16	i dunno about that dude I think Bronn would give him a pretty fucking epic run for his money. Sandor is such a clunky fighter, Bronn would just be stepping around him and fucking with him for a good long while like the big fucking twat that he is but in the end i feel that Bronn would probably underestimate Sandor. Either way I think Sandor would walk out of there pretty viciously wounded no matter what.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.26.16	"yaw basically. they don't really explain it in the show, they're just like, here is this half-assed vision of ned fighting and looking curious derpp" yeah i honestly have no idea what the flying fuck was going on in those scenes nor do i have any idea who like any of those other characters are. im terrible with names and even faces if i dont care about who they are attached to. like there are characters from the first few seasons that i honestly have absolutely no fucking memory of whatsoever. like when buddy in the north came back and everyone was like omg its buddy i was like yeah ok he looks like someone i saw once.
hal1ax 06.26.16	as much as i like the hound, bronn would prob beat him 1v1. he is just the sleaziest fighter ever, and is ultra quick. kind of built for the 1v1 encounter
hal1ax 06.26.16	haha ya there are just a fuck ton of character in the GoT universe. super hard to keep track
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.26.16	yeah exactly i think bronn is too quick and sleazy for it to be an easy fight for sandor. i have no doubt sandor could fuck up tormund and daario but there's no way bronn wouldn't toy with sandor and get some really good stabs in before inevitably letting his guard down due to his huge ego and sandor strangling him to death or some shit. it would be a brutal fight thats all i know. i see it going down similarly to the mountain oberyn fight tbh.
anarchistfish 06.26.16	bronn is a king i agree
hal1ax 06.26.16	ya absolutely. that mountain fight is a good example of what can happen when the small/quick dude makes one mistake
anarchistfish 06.26.16	i'm trying to figure out how they're gonna subvert this. daenerys and jon snow uniting to eventually win sounds like a popular idea but would be really unsatisfying imo
tacos n stuff 06.27.16	that was a great episode, wow everything i wanted and more tbh
hal1ax 06.27.16	lol so what arya just teleported to westeros? but ya pretty good ep, even though the tommen jumping out the window and the rehashed king-in-the-north group chant scenes were kinda lame.
tacos n stuff 06.27.16	I guess as a counter argument, im glad they didnt bother wasting time on arya going back to westeros. Her time is bravos was tiring and its cool they just skipped all the fluff of her getting back. The chant, while a bit silly, was satisfying cause i was sick of jon being a brooding mess all season. I had zero qualms with how tommen kicked the bucket. It was kind of an "oh shit he just killed himself," moment. Didnt find it lame at all. The score this episode was lovely as well.
hal1ax 06.27.16	score was good ya. idk the tommen thing just made me laugh tbh. was just so sudden... like oh shit the sept blew up and I'm sad , peace!
tacos n stuff 06.27.16	I'll be honest and say i chuckled when it happened, but i dug it off topic but wth is going on in that yearbook thread? Rosa just randomly shat on someone and everyone freaked out?
hal1ax 06.27.16	Haha I don't even know bro. Just a bunch of bored ass dramatic kids is all
tacos n stuff 06.27.16	i was gonna read through it but saw 200 comments and noped out
tacos n stuff 06.27.16	"blown up in front of his face" what you did there, i see it
tacos n stuff 06.27.16	and while i agree toad, you cant deny the suicide was oddly humorous lol
hal1ax 06.27.16	ya i liked the ep. i was just nitpicking a bit is all. the rehashed king in the north thing was really the only scene i disliked. and ya i agree, if arya must teleport for her plot line to be tolerable, so be it.
hal1ax 06.27.16	i definitely found it funny
hal1ax 06.27.16	and finally Jon Targaryen confirmed
rockandmetaljunkie 06.27.16	I wonder how closely the book will follow the show's plotline. For now, i think the tv show has gone completely its own way. I also wonder if the secret of Jon's past will be unfolded in the forthcoming novel.
DrMaximus 06.27.16	Definitely a good finale for sure, although they wouldn't have needed to cram so much if they had fleshed out the season better and not spent like 20 min total on that play and tyrion greyworm and missandei scenes which did nothing to advance the plot. and yeah Tommon's suicide was understandable but felt too sudden the way to did it and the way it just instantly cut away to another scene just felt odd I dunno.
hal1ax 06.27.16	ya doc i agree. his death just felt absolutely trivial lol.
hal1ax 06.27.16	i liked the scene toward the end in the throne room where Cersei is being sworn into power by Qybern. the dim, spooky lighting, Qybern's creepy voice, Jaimie looking appalled, and Cersei's cold ass countenance. gave me goosebumpz
hal1ax 06.27.16	haha i was just thinking about how good that scene was. i fucking love olenna and it was especially satisfying because i hate the sand snakes
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	"even though the tommen jumping out the window" disagreed hard tommen jumping out the window was perf "idk the tommen thing just made me laugh tbh. was just so sudden... like oh shit the sept blew up and I'm sad , peace!" i dunno dude for one i figured out he was gonna do it pretty quick. and for two there is a hell of a lot more to it than :'[ im sad gonna commit suddoku. he was madly in love with margaery. everything he did this entire season was to try and get her back. makes absolutely perfect sense he killed himself. "nah i didn't find it funny i honestly found it pretty tragic and a great ending for the arc" totally
hal1ax 06.27.16	ya idk, it didnt have much of an impact on me. I'm bummed marg is gone tho, she was a good char
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	"his death just felt absolutely trivial lol." his entire existence as a king was absolutely trivial so i dnno dude "felt too sudden the way to did it and the way it just instantly cut away to another scene just felt odd I dunno." well i dunno about any one else here but im pretty sure when you just have your heart and soul broken into a thousand pieces and decide to kill yourself in the heat of the moment you arent going to sit down and make a pros and cons list about suicide. of course it was sudden. his entire fucking life suddenly blew the fuck up. literally. and he suddenly decided to kill himself. anyways, otherwise, agreed that the best scenes were the 2 kings landing scenes and the scene where olenna fucking owns the sand snakes. but i like the sand snakes any way. i also liked the scenes with jamie and arya. the scene with melisandre was immensely disappointing. the swearing to the king of the north was whatever. the scene with bran was whatever. and the scene with fatboy was fucking stupid as always. anyways i fucking love cersei
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	"it didnt have much of an impact on me." well i can assure you he had more impact on the ground than his death had on any audience member. who the fuck ever cared about tommund? i dont really think being an impactful death was really the point in any way other than a very very literal one
hal1ax 06.27.16	"his entire existence as a king was absolutely trivial" very true
hal1ax 06.27.16	cersei almost seemed indifferent about it too lol. she has just become numb
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	yeah i had no idea how she was going to react to that and i was relieved that she reacted with indifference. it seems like she basically disowned him at that point. she wasnt cruel enough to let him go die in the fire but couldnt have cared less what he did after the fact, seemed like she almost expected him to kill himself. i think in her eyes her last child died when he betrayed her.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	anyways yeah i dunno i really dont think the point of tommunds suicide was to make us feel anything. in fact i think its good that you feel similarly to the way cersei seems to feel about it. the entire scene is super heavily emotional and then at the very end u just see this useless kid realize his lifes a joke and jump the fuck out the window
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	"you know what i think part of what made arya's scene good was the whole implausible distance-traveling thing, her appearance was a surprise for once." agreed
hal1ax 06.27.16	"seemed like she almost expected him to kill himself." agreed. fuck she is such a good character lol. she has grown on me a lot
hal1ax 06.27.16	ya i didn't really think about his suicide like that. that actually makes sense and now i kinda feel bad for em lol
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	yeah i have always thought cercei was a good character but i had never particularly liked her until now ive always had very mixed emotions about her and obviously thought she was a psycho cunt. but all i could think that entire 20 minutes at the beginning of this episode was "holy fuck i love cercei"
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	@hal1 totally, if anything you just kind of pity his pathetic ass in the end and thats about it.
hal1ax 06.27.16	i was just thrown off by the abruptness but ya it makes sense
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	thats fair i think abruptness can be effective if utilized in the right context but can also detract from the effect. for this tho i appreciate the abruptness, i thought it was very suiting.
hal1ax 06.27.16	ugh ya the first like 20min of the ep is so fucking good. those kids sneaking around shanking people, the accumulating anxiousness of the people in the sept, the music.. twas a good finale
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	" not mellisandre (lame af)" fuck you. i will fucking fight you. mel boner aside tho it would have been completely retarded if they executed mel not gonna lie. would have been 150% out of character for davos to murder her and would make literally 0 sense for jon snow to be emotionally invested enough to order her execution over it. it was a disappointing scene for sure but not because they didnt kill mel, just because it wasnt well acted and wasnt very insightful into the situation at all. mels acting was great, davos's acting didnt really get me, and jons was kind of shitty.
porcupinetheater 06.27.16	The way they used a one shot for Tommen's suicide was fantastic. Just pure, instinctual, hopeless desperation
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	"it was like the show's creators were speaking through melisandre's mouth with that lame-ass "the lord of light isn't done with me yet" bullshit" what are you even talking about tbh
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	"The way they used a one shot for Tommen's suicide was fantastic. Just pure, instinctual, hopeless desperation" yep. as soon as he took off the crown and started walking off screen and the shot stayed on the window i knew he was going to jump.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	thats a pretty gigantic and baseless assumption to make that they were sending her off screen because they didnt know what to do with her. i think you're probably about as wrong as humanly possible on that. why would they air an extra long episode and even include that scene at all if they didnt know what they were going to do with her. that makes absolutely no sense. i thought the fact that they were sending her south made it pretty obvious that next season she's going to be furthering the red gods agenda with Jon in some way or another from elsewhere. seems like he just kind of puppets her along burning every bridge she crosses in her wake
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	"like come on, mel's a valuable resource who burned a child at stake. you don't take that information send her off with a verbal spanking" well i do agree with this though. but like i said thats why it wouldnt make sense to kill her. jon has no reasons to give a single fuck about stannis's daughter. but to kill her when she is the sole reason he is alive would be so dumb. thats just like living proof that there is something bigger at hand. but he couldnt just keep her around either because he would lose davos's respect. sending her away was probably the only option he really had, and it still seemed like a really poor one
hal1ax 06.27.16	also i remember in an earlier season, think maybe 2 or 3, Mel encounters Arya in passing and makes a comment about how they will meet again one day. hopefully mel has a good sized role in the upcoming seasons
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	goddamn i hope mel rolls with arya that'd be tite af
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	i was trying to think about where it would make sense to place her and couldnt. she obviously cant go chill with the lannisters and i couldnt see her chillin with anyone on dary's side of things. meetin up with arya or stumbling across the brotherhood are the only things i can think of
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	"he's not stupid; " he kind of is really fucking stupid tho tbh did u not watch episode 9. seems exactly like something fucking stupid that jon would brashly do.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	and heres to hoping it bites him in the ass
hal1ax 06.27.16	so when davos calls out mel's prophetic abilities through the lord of light, saying that it didn't work because stannis is dead, and she responds saying that it did actually work but she just saw/chose the wrong person, do u think at this point Jon considers the possibility that shereen's sacrifice might actually be the reason he is alive?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	like lets be real here, jon definitely IS pretty fucking stupid.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	"do u think at this point Jon considers that possibility that shereen's sacrifice might actually be the reason he is alive?" i sure hope so/think he must.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	"he's only really stupid when he's sticking to his ill-conceived idea of honor or when he's getting emotional, neither of which really came into play here" wrong. honour was 100% at play there i dont know how you can possibly argue that. he has absolutely no emotional attachment to shireen yet is punishing mel out of his feelings of duty to Davos, who he views as an honourable man.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	"i ship hound + melissandre for world-weary done-with-this-shit let's kick some ass couple" yeah hound and mel and the brotherhood would be tite
hal1ax 06.27.16	exciting to see all of these character lines converging. s7 is gonna be cray
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	basically i think he is aware that he could not execute her because he sees that she embodies the power that resurrected him and realizes there is a lot more going on than he can understand, but felt a duty to punish her in some way because it was the honerable thing to do. so yeah again there goes his idea of honor making him stupid
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	he's into redheads because the one girl he's ever been into happened to be a redhead?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	"wanting to like jon's character makes me delusional sometimes" thats fair, many suffer from this affliction. thankfully im contrarian as fuck so ive never actually liked him all that much.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	to be fair all the red heads in the north lookin pretty fly right now and one is fam and the other he just sent packing so sorry jon u fucked up
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.27.16	he so stupid
hal1ax 06.27.16	keeping her around is a potential risk though, considering how unstable the red magic bullshit has shown to be, not to mention it would create discord in his boner buddy pact with davos. sending her away was just the honorable and simplest way to go and jon is a pretty simple dude
jtswope 06.27.16	Love how Littlefinger is one of the main catalysts of the entire show and that he'll be playing such a large role in the endgame. Sansa should've played along in his scheme for her sake though.
p4p 06.27.16	Cersei is one bad bitch
jtswope 06.27.16	If the rest of the prophecy comes true (as everything else has so far) she won't be around long.
hal1ax 06.27.16	what is the wording of the last part of the prophecy ??
jtswope 06.27.16	The wording is "You'll be queen, for a time. Then comes another, younger, more beautiful, to cast you down and take all you hold dear."
hal1ax 06.27.16	"Cersei: Will the king and I have children? Maggy: Oh, aye. Six-and-ten for him, and three for you. Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds, she said. And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you." hmmmm. well fuck. i hope she stick around for a while longer lol
hal1ax 06.27.16	"valonqar" is valyrian for "little brother"
jtswope 06.27.16	Yeah she's such a great character. They kind of set her up to seem like the main villain now that she's lost all her children. They've simplified the struggle for the throne, which is good since they end is near. However I still think the true main villain could end up being Littlefinger.
tempest-- 06.27.16	according to my calculations shemson wins the death pool with 3 of his 4 picks deceased angryjohnny, toad, nikkolae, jokine, doof and myself each got 2
Flugmorph 06.27.16	the fuuuuuuuuuuk
PlatonicMushroom 06.27.16	Season 7 is gonna be cray cray especially since fewer episodes gonna mean very high production value spectacle shit and hopefully less filler crap And yes jon snow knows nothing i thought this was already established
ZippaThaRippa 06.27.16	Well hoooooooooooooly fucking shit. That was a whole lot of high profile deaths for one episode. The Tyrells are wiped out, the Lannisters are mostly wiped out and the Freys are wiped out.
Avagantamos 06.27.16	am I the only one who thought the score was cheesy?
PlatonicMushroom 06.27.16	Olly: your not letting the wildlings through the wall they put an arrow thru me mum in front of me and ate me dadd Jon snow: yea olly m8, bu winter is coming In the show its pretty clear that all the starks except arya are dum dums and the way she got herself stabbed maybe she's too
BallsDeep 06.27.16	Fair bit of deus ex machina in this episode, afee unnecessary scenes (sam being a bumbling idiot again, danny friendzoning another bloke etc) , teleporting vaerys and arya etc but overall s powerful finish and next season should be hectic from the word go.
ZippaThaRippa 06.27.16	I thought the score was quite good. It was fittingly melodramatic. I mean come on, a sizable chunk of the principal cast just got wiped out.
ZippaThaRippa 06.27.16	Yeah the Starks are not a family known for their intellectual traits. But damn if they aren't some charismatic bastards.
BallsDeep 06.27.16	Also i know jons an moral man and wouldnt condone killing shirleen under any circumstance bit mel did bring him back from the dead im not sure he was wise to banish someone with that much power who is probably bitter towards him snd his cause. Not oout of character but a somewhat shortsighted decision.
DoctorDoom 06.27.16	Best finale. Arya went full Shakespeare.
ZippaThaRippa 06.27.16	Idk, I don't think Melisandre will turn on him. She didn't beg.
PlatonicMushroom 06.27.16	You guys think bran is gonna bring the wall down when he passes it I mean it has "strong magic and ancient spells" that keep the dead away similarly to the three eyed ravens lair and bran has the mark of the nights king or whatever His track record would be the worst, he lost winterfell to ten marauders, caused the extinction of the children of the forest, made hodor retarded and got him killed and might just cause the destruction of westeros
hal1ax 06.27.16	jon is an honorable dude, he had to send her away. he probably didn't want to kill her because he feels indebted, and at the same time, cannot keep her around because integrity dictates that you don't band with people who burn little kids alive-not to mention the discord it wouldve created with davos
EvoHavok 06.27.16	Fantastic season finale.
BallsDeep 06.27.16	My criticism is that times and distances this episode were altered at the convenience of the plot to a ridiculous level. Crossing the Narrow sea was a huge deal in eary seasons now it seems like something that can be done in about 15 minutes. My other issue is how did Arya kill the blokes use their body parts in a pie w/ out anyone noticing, and why was Walder all alone in his building? Otherwise yeah it was an incredible finale
hal1ax 06.27.16	Cuz arya is a G
Tyler. 06.27.16	Very very meh episode dany and Jon are both retarded. Actually come to think of it the show as a whole is v retarded now
BallsDeep 06.27.16	I've noticed any character who dany comes into contact with becomes a 2-dimensional little pet. Maybe episode wasn't incredible but the burning of the Sept part was sublime and there were quite a few powerful moments throughout.
Tyler. 06.27.16	I remember when tyrion was hand in kings landing and he was legitimately cool and very clever and now he just say stuff like "now now dany you can't kill everyone remember" like oh great so happy he's done so much
DoofusWainwright 06.27.16	Episode was a bit overstuffed but some of it was perfect. Best bits? Everything with Little Finger and Sansa, where they go from here is by far the most intriguing part of the show now. Not far behind is Cersei and Jaime. The sept scene and buildup was 10/10. The Jaime and Walder bit was good. The Arya section you couldn't quite believe was going to happen but sure enough it really did. Feel sorry for Olenna surrounded by all that Dorne shite, fan service telling the sand snakes to shut their holes and I'm now sure Dany will win because Varys stole the blueprints to the Baelish teleporter
hal1ax 06.27.16	"Dany will win because Varys stole the blueprints to the Baelish teleporter" lol
DoofusWainwright 06.27.16	I feel insulted that the writers felt they had to plonk him there looking like a disgruntled Uncle Fester on a bargain cruise liner
hal1ax 06.27.16	but like a few others have said, if Arya must teleport the fuck out of the faceless boner temple for her arc to become interesting again, so be it
Tyler. 06.27.16	Okay so varys being at dorne is good for dany right ? Idk because the way he was introduced felt ominous haha
hal1ax 06.27.16	i mean it is seemingly good but you never really know what Varys is up to. his alliance with dany/tyrion could be a sham , who knows
Tyler. 06.27.16	I kinda doubt that
hal1ax 06.27.16	k
Tyler. 06.27.16	Lmao
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.28.16	""That kid took King's Landing too fucking literal." jesus christ reddit" yesss
DrMaximus 06.28.16	Varys was at Dorne to get Olenna to ally with Dany
Avagantamos 06.28.16	I think varys is the only one on the show without a bad bone in his body. I thought the way they revealed him in dorne was pretty ham-fisted though
hal1ax 06.28.16	well he has said multiple times that he only serves "the realm", so as long as his interests and loyalties align with whoever else, he seems like a stand-up guy. im not sure if i would say he doesn't have a bad bone in his body tho. he can be pretty insidious
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.28.16	i know one bad bone he sure dont got
Avagantamos 06.28.16	Everything he's done has always seemed to be for the greater good, and he seems genuine about it. people always ask him what a eunuch really wants. I think he wants to be the one remaining shred of hope that there is any good in that crazy world of his
Avagantamos 06.28.16	I rest easy at night knowing there are men like him out there. he is my hero
hal1ax 06.28.16	i mean he used to gather intel on dany for king Robert and then flip-flopped allegiances after robert died so.. idk he seems a little shady
hal1ax 06.28.16	and he has no dong so we know he aint in it for the gash so who the fuck knows?????? like maybe he actually just wants to make the world a better place lol
Avagantamos 06.28.16	idk I just have a feeling about him. how big do you suppose dany's fleet is? I'm sure she tracked down anyone between westeros and mereen with a ship and kindly informed them that it's hers now. how many did the greyjoys bring?
tacos n stuff 06.28.16	its interesting how varys is way different in the books muuuch more shady
ClintDangerous 06.28.16	like the slim shady himself, Marshall Matthers
hal1ax 06.28.16	"its interesting how varys is way different in the books muuuch more shady" totally. that's definitely a contributing factor for my pessimistic view of him.
Avagantamos 06.28.16	need to start reading books again
hal1ax 06.28.16	im so horny for book 6 fackk
DrMaximus 06.28.16	"people always ask him what a eunuch really wants" Their cock back
BallsDeep 06.28.16	This is going to be a grueling 9 months
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.28.16	if by cock you mean balls then maybe
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.28.16	its more like you say tomato i say eggplant but sure
FourthDyke 06.28.16	ive sucked my own dick before
Gyromania 06.28.16	i thought it was a pretty great episode; the beginning in particular was fantastic. the last couple of episodes really redeemed the mid-section of this season, which i thought was weak af. definitely more enjoyable than season 5
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.28.16	i agree those 2 episodes actually somehow made up for how awful the entire rest of the season was
DoofusWainwright 06.28.16	I thought the season started and ended really well but sunk to a new low somewhere around eps 6-8, plus I found the end of The Door a bit off though some people seem to love it
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.28.16	the hodor shit was fucking lame
RadicalEd 06.28.16	last episode was pretty much pitch perfect, buuuut that arya bit was really cringey and I hate her hole storyline in the show with a burning passion.
RadicalEd 06.28.16	I hate how she's such a "badass" OMG look at her she kills and enjoys it, wow, so cool. Also it was the best thing she's done all season, agreed. But only because everything else she's done was cringey AND boring.
RadicalEd 06.28.16	I enjoyed the actor a lot. He was so convincingly disgusting.
DoofusWainwright 06.28.16	The Arya plot was this year's Dorne - loads of rich source material that the writers just couldn't make work in the context of the show for whatever reason. I think similar to last season a rewatch will help, I think now knowing where the characters end up the Jaime and Sansa arcs will be very satisfying the second time through. I think those two characters actually had the most interesting character development in the end though I fear the show runners would want viewers to say Arya and Jon were the best developed
RadicalEd 06.28.16	Lol Jon hasn't been developed in the last 2-3 seasons at all. He just stares into the camera with a blank mopey expression and does heroic shit. I still love him, but the way he pretty much doesn't even acknowledge that he's been dead is infuriating. Also I agree on Sansa 100%, but I think they could have taken Jaime in an even better direction if he'd been able to free himself from Darth Cersei. Tyrion used to be undisputed number 1 but like everyone who got dragged into the Daenerys storyline he's stagnating hard. I also think Davos has been one of the better characters, especially since he started out so fucking drab and I now love him.
DoofusWainwright 06.28.16	I like that Jaime still clings to this 'true love, destiny' thing with his sister but throughout the season you see it's really hanging by a thread at this point, it's something he's using to justify his actions but does he really love her anymore, he barely respects or even likes her...and his rep is low, and she'll drag it through the dirt even further if he lets her
UpwardSpiral 06.28.16	Really loved this episode, sublime directing and music. Lots of memorable moments, although I don't really buy the part with Tyrion and Dany.
RadicalEd 06.28.16	Yeah they didn't really have a lot development together for such an outburst by Tyrion, but I think Peter Dinklage sold it.
DoofusWainwright 06.28.16	I see Dinklage getting some juicy stuff in the last two seasons
BallsDeep 06.28.16	Also notice they introduced basically no new characters this entire season (other then benjen who barely counts), clearly they realized that if it continued on at the pace of s1-4 the show could last 20 years
DoofusWainwright 06.28.16	congratulations to Shemson with three correct picks you win the comp, your prize is a trial by combat with Brienne of Tarth armed only with a strap on and lopsided smirk. Enjoy!
RadicalEd 06.28.16	"Also notice they introduced basically no new characters this entire season (other then benjen who barely counts), clearly they realized that if it continued on at the pace of s1-4 the show could last 20 years" Rumor has it that they wanna wrap it up in 2 more seasons.
BallsDeep 06.28.16	yeah 7 episodes each from what I've heard , but if its all killer and no filler im fine with that
tempest-- 06.28.16	honestly i can't see it going much further than one more season
InFlamesWeThrash666 06.28.16	The North remembers
DoofusWainwright 06.28.16	Hopefully just two seasons of seven longer than usual episodes would be perfect, they don't need more than that to wrap it up
BallsDeep 06.28.16	Yeah its coming together so quickly now and unless they focus on shit like Jorah's attempt to cure an incurable disease with no medical training or connections in Essos or fat sam masturbating into books then we should expect to see Dany conquer Kings Landing in like the first episode... speaking of which I can defiantely see Tyrion having to convince her to let Jaimie live even though he killed her old man and by latter part of the season Their army (dothraki, unsullied, greyjoy seperatists, tyrell, dornish, any Lannisters/freys who surrendered lead by Jamie) will unite with Jons/Sansas (Norther houses, wildlings, the vale) and it will finally be the living vs the dead.
DoofusWainwright 06.28.16	12-15 hours of remaining show is about the length of the director's cut of the LOTR trilogy, they should be able to tell the end of this story in that amount of tape - clearly they don't want to dilute their money for no reason, these final seasons will be showing dragons, white walkers and armies on screen for a large chunk of the time
BallsDeep 06.28.16	Yeah hell if they asked for crowd funding for the intensive CGI and extras they would get it no doubt, I mean I've never paid for an episode in my life so i would be willing to contribute like $50 and i'm sure most other fans would, but I don't think it would ever come to that. I just hope they keep the same production value of the last 2 episodes.

I just hope they keep the same production value of the last 2 episodes.
Shemson 06.28.16	Yes! I won the Game Of Thrones death predicting game! Honestly I'm most surprised about the one I predicted wrong. Still shocked they decided to keep Theon alive. I wonder if it was just to make the viewers more interested in Yara and the rest of the Greyjoy storyline until they made it to Dany... Can't really see what's left for him now? Great season finale, agree with everyone saying Tommen's death was perfect. It completely summed up a kid who had found a beautiful wife (who pretended to love him) and had just found religion seeing everything he loved destroyed by the one who was supposed to care for him the most.
DoofusWainwright 06.28.16	Brienne is ready to reward you Shemson
BallsDeep 06.28.16	I cant believe Tommen left Ser Pounce all alone in the world the selfish prick
Shemson 06.28.16	Me to Brienne- 'Go on then. Do your duty.'
Shemson 06.28.16	I can't believe they cut Ser Pounce from the season to save on CGI costs
BallsDeep 06.28.16	In seriousness they have really shit the bed with the dire wolves - their too small, unimpressive and...absent from the fucking show i mean where was Ghost when Jon needed it most? They should be the size of horses, extremely fast and have some kind of mythical ability that makes them powerful in a battle and actually significant, Arya should be able to ride hers or something if she ever finds it again.
AtomicWaste 06.28.16	"I can't believe they cut Ser Pounce from the season to save on CGI costs" I remember reading that the one time they actually showed Ser Pounce, he was a real cat and they said he was a pain in the ass to deal with, so they weren't planning on showing him again.
tacos n stuff 06.28.16	woah woah hold up Balls had a really good idea actually. Crowd funding for a bigger budget so that the showrunners dont need to compromise all the time for the CGI is very smart ( and would make loaaaads of money fast)
BallsDeep 06.28.16	yeah i think it would work extremely well and coul raise tens of millions but D&D will probably see this as inefficient use of their budget and probably have too much pride to ask for crowd funding.
ZippaThaRippa 06.28.16	No way I would crowd fund that
BallsDeep 06.28.16	its always take but never give with you isnt it zippa
tacos n stuff 06.28.16	fuck the pride, i want dragons and for direwolves to not be killed off every 7 minutes
MeatSalad 06.28.16	I can only assume they'd squander every cent given on tyrion drinking scenes and aidan gillen's attempts at acting
tacos n stuff 06.28.16	the first drinking scene was fine but after the 3rd(?) time, it got a bit obnoxious
BallsDeep 06.28.16	Tyrions become like a characteture of his former self these days altho his still one of my favorites. yeah idk what the hell is up with Aidan Gillen's accent
baldymort 06.28.16	aidan gillen in the wire and early GOT was killer. i think baneposting has made him unsure of his acting ability.
hal1ax 06.28.16	we need ser pounce back. he could just sit, perched on frankenmountain's shoulder
wwf 06.28.16	21/62 characters dead. Damn
DoofusWainwright 06.28.16	Gillen was on top form this episode, that look across the room to Sansa was the best moment of the episode and possibly the whole season. My boy is still in the game
BallsDeep 06.28.16	I don't think he ever left it
wwf 06.28.16	Gillens a great actor and Ill defend his stupid shapeshifting accent to the death
BallsDeep 06.28.16	I was beginning to doubt Kit harringtons acting until the battle because he didnt just nail that episode he stabbed it in the shower and left it twitching and bleeding in a pile of its own shit
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.29.16	"I still love him, but the way he pretty much doesn't even acknowledge that he's been dead is infuriating." makes it really seem like they killed him for the sake of killing him, to shock and then service fans with no foresight into any sort of implications or anything beyond the most superficial level whatsoever. " but I think they could have taken Jaime in an even better direction if he'd been able to free himself from Darth Cersei. " well i think its pretty clear that thats what is going to happen now
hal1ax 06.29.16	ya like with Barrick Dondarion, they address the fact that each time the fire god resurrects him, he becomes weaker, like he loses a part of himself. but with jon it's like he never even died lol.
LewisShaw 06.29.16	That's because Kit is a very one dimensional actor, they're pretty limited with what they can make him convey
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.29.16	agreed that ser pounce is the best character in the show
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.29.16	to be fair, with kit ive never seen him in anything outside of GOT so i can give him the benefit of the doubt and just think maybe he just portrays a one dimensional character very well! with emilia i saw terminator genesis and it confirmed that she is actually just a fucking terrible actor
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.29.16	and yeah the lack of consequences with jons resurrection is absolutely retarded. with Barrick you FEEL that he has died many times. he plays it well.
BallsToTheWall 06.29.16	I can't wait for more Thoros/Hound banter.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.29.16	like is it not a pretty sound assumption to make that FUCKING DYING would maybe present some sort of character development?
BallsToTheWall 06.29.16	I agree with you there. Beric presents himself to be weathered as fuck.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.29.16	yeah its great he rocks i wish he was in the show more
BallsToTheWall 06.29.16	They all bloody die... except this one here.
hal1ax 06.29.16	like i would be content with a scene or two of Jon keeling over during battle, seeming really weathered, and looking surprised about it like wtf why am i so tired, this has never happened before??? but instead it almost seems like he is an even more fierce fighter than before haha
Onirium 06.29.16	Are they planning on doing one or two more seasons? I've contradictory information on that matter, but this finale definitely seemed to be the beginning of a denouement. But then again, an end of the struggle for the throne wouldn't necessarily be a finality I guess
mifzal 06.29.16	must give props to Olenna Tyrell, she so good with her lines. Standouts from the Episode were Cersei and Arya's redemption. Cersei of course is going to be the most hated bitch AGAIN.
BallsDeep 06.29.16	2 more I heard and By season 8 I don't think the contest for the iron throne will be relevant anymore
Lord(e)Po)))ts 06.29.16	"Cersei of course is going to be the most hated bitch AGAIN." funny you say that because i like her more than ever now
CamiloG 06.29.16	The best acting in the show is made by Diana Rigg, I mean her portrayal of Olenna is fucking great.
BallsDeep 06.29.16	Watching her verbally destroy the sand snakes was the most satisfying part of the season
CamiloG 06.29.16	Agreed hard, that scene was so damn good
hal1ax 06.29.16	idk cersei blowing up the sept was pretty satisfying for me. i was getting super tired of the sparrow people
hal1ax 06.29.16	and grandmaester pycelle needed to go
CamiloG 06.29.16	Honestly I can't believe he made it through 6 fucking seasons, I really enjoyed his death
mifzal 06.29.16	So Arya has taken over the lady stoneheart parts in the show, I think its better this way, we don't need another zombie
RadicalEd 06.29.16	They are trying to hardcore streamline as much as possible, so it makes to not introduce Lady Stoneheart this late in the show.
UpwardSpiral 06.29.16	'Honestly I can't believe he made it through 6 fucking seasons, I really enjoyed his death' True, even though he was only pretending to be frail and weak. There's even this deleted scene with Tywin where he admits it. Probably deleted because it wasn't subtle enough. It's on youtube.
BallsDeep 06.29.16	^Its a great scene but yeah it wasnt subtle enough at all, not that the show is very subtle anyway though I wouldn't mind if Arya can actually teleport to and from the faceless temple it would actually make more sense and make her more of a threat that way
Dmax28 06.29.16	Season Episodes Ranked 1. Ep 10 2. Ep 9 3. Ep 5 4. Ep 2 5. Ep 4 6. Ep 7 7. Ep 3 8. Ep 1 9. Ep 6 10. Ep 8 Top 4 are classic level.
BallsDeep 06.29.16	9 is 1, 10 is 2,5 is 3 and 8 is 10 but the rest i have no idea about
hal1ax 06.29.16	i remember liking the first few eps. and ya, 6 and 8 are bad
BallsToTheWall 06.29.16	I'm just happy that Lancel finally fucking bit the dust.
hal1ax 06.29.16	ya man the lancel / pycelle stabbings brought me so much joy
BallsToTheWall 06.29.16	My favorite moment was Benjen coming back. I've been waiting and hoping for his return since 1. And I also hope they make a prequel series or film with Lyanna, Arthur Dayne and company.
tacos n stuff 06.29.16	hmm id go: 10. ep 8 9. ep 1 8. ep 4 7. ep 6 6. ep 3 5. ep 5 4. ep 7 3. ep 2 2. ep 9 1. ep 10
tacos n stuff 06.29.16	guys i have very bad news: http://www.ew.com/article/2016/06/29/game-thrones-season-7
hal1ax 06.29.16	"And I also hope they make a prequel series or film with Lyanna, Arthur Dayne and company." yesss. I really want to see Rhaegar in action too
BallsToTheWall 06.29.16	Yep.
BallsDeep 06.29.16	"Mark Mylod: A four-time director on the show, the British veteran of Showtime’s Shameless and HBO’s Entourage took on this season’s uniquely textured re-introduction of the The Hound in “The Broken Man,” as well as Arya’s exciting chase sequence in “No One." "there are a few notable GoT veterans sitting out next year, such as Miguel Sapochnik – the director of this season’s hugely impressive “Battle of the Bastards” and Sunday’s explosive finale" yeah Smart move D&D you fucking idiots
hal1ax 06.29.16	ya that is fucking stupid. but the guy who did The Sopranos and the Baelor ep is back, so that's cool i guess.
BallsDeep 06.29.16	yeah I just dont understand why they wouldn't fight to their last breath to get Miguel to come back on board since this season is going to have huge wars and he is clearly the man to direct them.
tacos n stuff 06.29.16	Im not mad that Miguel is sitting this season out as he was picked up by netflix for another show. No. Im mad that theyre bringing back the moron whose had FOUR chances to prove himself and ended up directing 3 of the WORST FUCKING EPISODES OF THE WHOLE SHOW. Not only that but they bring back the guy who did unbowed unbent unbroken (the 2nd worst episode of the whole show) WTF
hal1ax 06.29.16	wait who is the four chances guy??
tacos n stuff 06.29.16	mark mylod
tacos n stuff 06.29.16	high sparrow, sons of the harpy, no one, and broken man broken man was fine. high sparrow was boring af, and sons of the harpy/no one take spots for some of the worst BS this show has gone through
tacos n stuff 06.29.16	the other guy, Podeswa, did "Home" which was awesome but also did "Unbowed..." so he's a complete wild card
hal1ax 06.29.16	hmm ya broken man was good. sons of the harpy definitely sucks, and i can't even remember no one and high sparrow. will have to circle back to these eps
BallsDeep 06.29.16	Im mad his sitting it out. GoT is the biggest show in the history of television as if they're letting Miguel ditch it for some shitty netflix show.
hal1ax 06.29.16	but i mean these are just directors right?? like most of the time eps are bad it is because of the writing imo
BallsDeep 06.29.16	In fairness the source material theyre given limits what they can do and how well the episode will be received but they shouldn't be risking it with him again
tacos n stuff 06.29.16	No one was ep8 of this season (the arya chase scene nonsence) and high sparrow was a lame filler ep from s5. and yeah writing is important for an episode, but look at BotB. The writing wasnt really 10/10 but what made the episode great was the directing and cinematography. D&D may have wrote up aryas idiotic escape but mark mylod only made it worse by taking creative reigns over HOW it happened. IOW arya jumping and parkouring like a pro and waif running through the streets like goddamn t-1000
tacos n stuff 06.29.16	the ONLY good news i can take from that article is that Alan Taylor is back and he handled Neds death flawlessly
hal1ax 06.29.16	Ya agreed. Baelor is an awesome ep
tacos n stuff 06.29.16	Sorry for the rant, i dont do it often but by god...
MistaCrave 07.06.16	Finally caught up with the show, so I don't know what I'm supposed to do now that I have no more GoT to watch
DrMaximus 07.06.16	Read the books
MistaCrave 07.06.16	I probs will soon, I've been meaning to check them out
Gmork89 07.06.16	Books are great and will leave you wondering why they concentrated so much on sons of the harpy and the high sparrow while leaving out some outstanding plotlines from the book.
BallsDeep 07.06.16	So What do we all think will be the opening scene of next season? I think either the night king marching south with their immense army of the dead, possibly with the wall in sight to remind us what an unstoppable force they are possibly even touching the wall and discovering that they are no longer bound by it OR Cersei sitting on the iron throne with flashbacks of the prophecy how she will outlive her children and how a younger beautiful will come to fuck her shit up - cut to daenerys fleet sailing across the Narrow Sea (the show isnt known for being subtle)
DoofusWainwright 07.06.16	Not sure, usually they open on something a little less obvious don't they? Been watching the season again at a faster pace of two episodes a night (now up to episode 4) and it does work better for that and also knowing where the story is going. Some great scenes you forget about.
BallsDeep 07.06.16	yeah ive been meaning to watch the entire series again too, now that I have half a clue what is actually going on, when i watched season in 2011 i was 15 and I wasnt really vested in the political side of things (which the first two seasons excels in i'm pretty sure) all I wanted was tits and sword fights but I think ill appreciate it alot more now.
RadicalEd 07.06.16	My gf recently started watching GoT and I watch a lot of the earlier episodes with her and if you switch from the sixth to the first season the drop in overall quality of writing is fairly dramatic. Tbh i was pretty shocked how huge the difference was.
DoofusWainwright 07.06.16	You see I worry the first season would be a bit clunky now - the clips I've watched recently the acting doesn't seem as slick, it looks lower budget
BallsDeep 07.06.16	I mean It definitely was lower budget andI guess they were still in the process of forging their characters so they weren't 100% comfortable in their roles yet? Some of them had hardly acted before the show too. I think ultimately it was just much smaller in scope,slower paced and more character driven then what it has become. I guess they had to speed it up at some point though
MistaCrave 07.13.16	Decided to start reading the books, and that was definitely the wisest decision I've made in a while. I read pretty much non-stop after buying the first book and finished it in 5 days, and now I'm onto the second. Only now am I realizing how infinitely much story the show left out
tacos n stuff 07.13.16	that sounds awesome dude! The books are super sick, with book 3 being absolute madness. This may sound backwards but the books kind of give me an appreciation for the show being able to cover all the material it does. Theres just so much shit that im baffled they were able to make measly 10 hour seasoan out of the whole things
protokute 07.23.16	Just finished reading book 1, while it was a good and interesting read, and i want to read the others, its kind of tiring to know that there are still 4 more books to read, and some of them have 1000 pages, holy shit.
hal1ax 07.25.17	how are we feeling about new GoT episodes boys? i've enjoyed both eps so far
hal1ax 07.25.17	the hound might be the goat character
zakalwe 07.25.17	The hound is the original audiences attitude towards the new series manifest. Cameos from Ed Cunt Hollywood bullshit Dumbed down to pander to the larger audience made up of brats The show is a joke now. Bin.
DoofusWainwright 07.25.17	I'm guessing 90% of characters are going to die soon so couldn't put up a fresh one of these First two episodes were solid, mid level sorta standard
zakalwe 07.25.17	Game of Brookside
DoofusWainwright 07.25.17	Was Brookside the show where they killed half the characters when a plane crashed into the street? Or was that Emmerdale? Either way - proto-GoT right there
hal1ax 07.25.17	lol yea it's not as good as it used to be. still entertaining tho
zakalwe 07.25.17	Remember when Charles Dance was in it, being all stoical while hacking away at that animal carcass. Now what've we got? Ed Sheeite and Pieboy looking like grotbags.
DoofusWainwright 07.25.17	Dunno, pieboy was in season 2 as well and now you've got yer Jim Broadbent or whatever replacing Jonathan Pryce. You get your heavyweights. You also get your sand snakes. It's always been more Star Wars than A Space Odyssey.
zakalwe 07.25.17	Yeah Jim broadbent is a legend to be fair. This appears to be as good a place as any. Anyone seen the Dune series? Just finished the book and absolutely fucking loved it.
Dewinged 07.25.17	Shit is about to go down fast.
DoofusWainwright 07.25.17	There's a Dune TV series? Never knew about it :/
zakalwe 07.25.17	Yeah came out around 15yrs ago. Never seen the film (i remember it being written off) but the book is right up there.
hal1ax 07.25.17	Yea this season skipped the foreplay and went straight to business.. probably going to be pretty unremittingly action-packed from here onward. I heard it's going to be less episodes than usual? Not sure if that's true.
adr 07.25.17	yea this season will be 7 episodes and the next one only 6 like how u didn't know that lol First two episodes were solid, mid level sorta standard [2]
anat 07.25.17	7 episodes this time round vs the normal 10
zakalwe 07.25.17	Bloody untackled fella shacking up with whastherface. Ridiculous. What he's going to shit himself now because of the chance of loss? Fuck right off with that.
DoofusWainwright 07.25.17	Even a man without a cock will say anything to get a woman into bed - is all I learned. Ghost Worm (like a ghost limb)
anat 07.25.17	the sheeran cameo was throwaway so doesn't bother me in the long run, think this season is gonna be alreet
zakalwe 07.25.17	Bald bloke quibbling around the stone place while blonde bird is on the blob. Soap Opera.
Gmork89 07.25.17	As long as Davos lives I don't care who else dies.
anat 07.25.17	did you not care for euron greyjoy descending onto yara's ship like a fuckin rockstar on that toothy bridge thing
Dewinged 07.25.17	The Sheeran cameo seems to be a surprise for Arya's b-day, cause the girl is a fan.
zakalwe 07.25.17	Nah because of soppy bollocks going into the drink. Fucking characters are all over the place now.
anat 07.25.17	well what else was he going to do? ramsay rate fucked him up
zakalwe 07.25.17	Show his strength, his return to having guts. Rip out thingys other eye and chew on it.
anat 07.25.17	but he hasn't got a willy
hal1ax 07.25.17	Grey worm gave that girl a rigorous tongue lashing
zakalwe 07.25.17	The old bearded bloke who wrote these things and who hasn't pulled his finger out must be spinning into his grave.
DoofusWainwright 07.25.17	Fat bearded nerd writer of slightly better than average fantasy hokum becomes one of the richest and most famous writers on the planet...and gets to see his favourite wank fantasies acted out on screen. He's loving it, never seen the dude without a massive grin on his chops.
zakalwe 07.25.17	Yeah white haired bird is about 7 in the books while she's getting finger banged by brown slave. Bloke is obviously a massive nonce.
zaruyache 07.25.17	Ehh she was like fourteenish originally I think. Drogo probably wasn't older than his early 20's, which wouldn't have been that unusual even 150 years ago. It is a medieval period after all.
hal1ax 07.25.17	been years since i last read book 1 but yea she's definitely older than 7 at that point lol. prob like 12-14
tacos n stuff 07.25.17	so, im definitely not the only one who feels something is 'off' this season so far right?
Lord(e)Po)))ts 07.26.17	Zak how hard do you try to speak as britishly as humanly possible
hal1ax 07.26.17	lol
