The show jumped the shark when we didn't see Jaime's shameful Brienne boner.

So the 16 year old boy with an oversized sword and a magical animal companion just became the commander of a special military unit created to fight monsters

These books are now undeniably anime.

I think not loving his sister anymore was an intregal part of his redemptive arc and it's baffling to have the show say incest til the end, incest forever, a thousand years incest.

Appeal to tumblr. The media knows it's not about a wide, mildly interested audience anymore. You have to go after the crazy die-hards--the ones that will subscribe, evangelize, and buy merch

Between GRRM scheduling new convention appearances, and now today he was randomly at The Strand Bookstore in NYC (the last time he randomly turned up in NY it was when Dance was done and brought to the editors), I'm starting to get the tinfoil out and thinking he might actually be nearing completion of Winds.

Why is it so easy for this series to fool me.

I watched "Me Before You". Emilia Clarke really isn't that bad an actor if you get over/accept the eyebrows.


I think she's either just a bad fit for the role or that the shows writing is too bad or that Dany just sucks as a character and nobody could make Meereen entertaining

Ser Arthur Dayne, the Knightiest of Knights. Stands there and watches as his completely insane king slowly cooks a man to death while his firstborn son is strangled trying to save them both, while likely knowing full well that Lyanna ran away and could've said as much at any time

Much like Ned, Arthur Dayne's an idiot and Jamie's single act of shanking the Mad King makes him a better person than everyone else in the Kingsguard. Arthur probably would've started the fires himself.

Wasn't it Gerold Hightower who was there? Or am I getting mixed up? It's possible that Hightower didn't now that the Rhaegar Lyanna tryst was consensual at that time?

It was hightower that was there. Dayne and Whent were with Rhaegar and then Lyanna from beginning to end of the rebellion.

Yeah, it's a huge part of Jaime's change of heart that he comes to be unable to loving stand his idiot whore of a sister.

Only slightly because they teen-comedy-where-the-hot-girl-takes-off-her-glasses-and-is-now-hot uglied her up.

But still, the shameful boner and Cersei's wading into myrish swamps were the wedge between them that led to their redemption arcs, and the show gave us neither handsome throbbing cocks nor damp fingers.

Papa and Brandon Stark seemed like smart people who got totally unavoidably hosed by the Mad King.

Remember, dipshit Ned is the idiot middle child who was never raised to rule. And Robb was raised to rule by a dipshit that puts dumb middle child idealism ahead of practicality.

Brandon Stark, upon hearing that his sister was kidnapped, immediately set off on a week's ride with a handful of friends and then rode up and down right out side of the Red Keep demanding that the Crown Prince come out and die. I'm gonna go with Ned or Benjen being the brains of the family on this one.

It sounds like a pretty a human reaction or a romantic one even.


But the dude had the entire ride down to the Landing to cool off and maybe come up with a better idea. Including being yelled at by Hoster like you said


I'm gonna chalk this one up to Brandon being a spoiled first-born of a high house used to getting his way. Pretty much the dumb meathead jock Littlefinger paints him as

Why do I remember him being double-crossed by Aerys but don't remember any of what y'all are saying?

Aerys agreed to a trial by combat but chose fire as his champion and roasted him while his dad strangled himself on a chain trying to rescue his burning son.

Or the other way around. Either way it was a dick move on both ends.

Bran's chapters are always the worst for me.

Bran has a wolf dream. Bran feels sad because he used to have a pack, but now he doesn't. Bran wants to stay as a wolf. Jojen chastises him. Jojen gets sullen. blah blah blah.

Brienne at least goes and sees people. It's like, oh snap, shes at that same Inn! Oh cool, Podrick did something useful. Oh dammmnn, is that the hound!?

was that ep just a metaphor for affc or something? faux redemptive arc for hound that goes nowhere then everyone dies and he goes straight back to form. nothing of consequence happens in any other story except that this week's titties had a lesbian flavor thrown in for show.

Recap of the last 2 episodes:

Sandor's journey was pointless and now he's moving past the events of AFFC/ADWD.

Arya's journey was pointless and now she's moving past the events of AFFC/ADWD.

Brienne's journey was pointless and now she's moving past the events of AFFC/ADWD.

Sansa's journey was pointless and now she's moving past the events of AFFC/ADWD.

Jon's journey was pointless and now he's moving past the events of AFFC/ADWD.

Dany's journey was pointless and now she's moving past the events of AFFC/ADWD.

Cersei's journey was pointless and now she's moving past the events of AFFC/ADWD.

Jaime's journey was pointless and now he's moving past the events of AFFC/ADWD.

Bran's journey was pointless and now he's moving past the events of AFFC/ADWD.

Theon's journey was pointless and now he's moving past the events of AFFC/ADWD.

Dorne's journey was pointless and now they're moving past the events of AFFC/ADWD.

Tyrion is up to something.

Margaery is the most powerful player in the game.

Blackfish back ALRIGHT.
