Now that Oberyn is dead and Bronn is retired I want a new cool fighter person to root for, someone who generates fight scenes. We are a bit low on them now. No, Jon Snow and Daario aren't cool.

SBJ posted:I honestly don't know how much clearer it can be. I'm also not sure why it wasn't mentioned earlier, but everyone that Mel claimed that "the lord has needed" has been burned to a crisp. If just three leeches can kill three pretenders, why wouldn't they just put a leech on Shireen every month or so? What the other poster said, that it's an undefined "something bad," is all we know - a straight blood sacrifice like how people are talking about it is dumb and doesn't make sense. Oh my loving god page 51 is nothing but book chat. STOP TALKING ABOUT THE BOOKS. If you have questions pm someone in the OP, they're literally assigned the job of answering your inane book questions.

I found out Ned dies, Stannis loses the siege, and littlefinger killed joffrey from this forum, the last one was someone bitching about "aw man someone gave me a red text that says littlefinger killed joffrey" and gets replies "aw man it sux that you got a red text that says littlefinger killed joffrey, this is why I turn off avatars so I don't get spoiled" but people constantly talking about how Sansa doesn't have any more book plot for a long time or certain character scenes being from book 4 or even book 5 letting me know they pretty much have plot armor now. I just find it amusing how bad people in this thread are at not spoiling poo poo.

Any of the characters who are into their AFFC or ADWD stories can die, why wouldn't they be able to? It's not like the timeline will be completely thrown off if x character dies before y character's AFFC story starts.

I feel like the leeches fall in the category of poo poo Mel does for show. There was a decent chance those guys were gonna bite it regardless. Except Balon (who is notably still alive), because seriously, why would anyone besides Stannis care? Bobo the Red fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Jun 5, 2014 |

As a 12 year old living vicariously through the show I assume Melisandre only sought Gendry out because she really wanted to bang him. Same with Margaery and Tommen.

Balon had two scenes. I feel like we're never going to see more Greyjoy action.

I hate spoilers for this show, but saying character x is currently on book y is not a spoiler at all.

Sansa could literally die this season and I'd only be surprised because it doesn't make sense to kill her now when she's just starting to do things.

Also, that cut to the flayed ironborn guy right after he killed his commander was so comical a slide whistle would have been appropriate.

I know that one dude from earlier was irrationally complaining about the lack of realism in this show but really, who wouldn't have thrown an axe at a shirtless Ramsay from point blank range? Also how the gently caress are you afraid of dogs when you're covered head to toe in dog-repelling chain armor?

The scene made no sense on either end: she shouldn't have let him free the dogs (and should've just knocked Theon out), but once the dogs were free, how the gently caress did she get out? Ramsay let her go? This season has mostly been great, except a few episodes had minor scenes like this one that just kinda baffled you.

I love how long they had her just stand there doing nothing while Ramsey is opening the cage. No starting to run, no trying to kill a very vulnerable Ramsey, just standing still staring for ten seconds. Great directing.
