Jesus, that was loving weak all around. It's even more weak when you consider 2 seasons have been building up to this poo poo. 2 years of Arya fighting the Waif just for her to be stupid and then not show the final confrontation. I was looking forward to seeing what clever method they would use to show a battle in the dark. Of course that would just be the end of the battle anyway. Before that, there would have to be some back and forth battle, some payoff after making us sit through 2 years of Arya getting beat with a stick, something to show us that Arya has progressed. 2 seasons of boring in King's Landing for nothing since there's no trial. Riverrun was pointless because Jaime has not developed as a character. He's doing everything for Cersei. A good performance by the actor that plays Edmure was just sort of ruined when Edmure reveals himself as a shithead ordering his men to capture Blackfish instead of letting him go. And the Blackfish wants to commit suicide instead of escaping or helping Sansa. Okay, that makes sense Dave Hill. Another pointless scene of Tyrion drinking with boring lame characters. Tyrion is no better in Meereen than he was in the book getting to Meereen. Are they now going to act like Davos cares about Shireen? If he did, he would have asked about her before now. I don't think Melisandre would have lied. Well, he did ask once and got interrupted. Davos didn't care enough to ask again. Good actors and good production wasted on abysmal writing.

The last few episodes were surprisingly decent and made me hope that they could salvage the rest of this season, which made this week's episode all the more disappointing. The Bastard Bowl season spoilers are looking pretty likely at this point, which means Rickon gets Ramsey'd and Ramsey lives to 'stand trial for his crimes'. Ugh.

Lmao that, in a fictional world where innocent people are routinely brutalized in the most barbaric manner for no reason, Ramsay Bolton will get a "fair trial" for his countless atrocities instead of getting his jugular torn open by Jon's direwolf. If this spoiler comes true I will

I don't know when this became about GRRM when his presence as co-executive producer during seasons 1-4 and the part where he wrote the books are the sole reasons this show was any good for those first 4 seasons.

I think the reference to the Lord of Light preventing people from dying is a 'subtle' shout-out to the fans. Specifically, "Yeah, sure. Maybe technically getting city river water (full of poop and bacteria and all sorts of city waste) in a gaping jagged gut wound would be fatal to MOST people. But the Lord of Light decided that Arya can't die, so she won't. Ever. She will literally see the heat death of the universe."

I guess people were whining too much about aborted arcs, so D&D decided to be mature about it and say "gently caress YOU". Blackfish?Dead Grandfather Willow? Dead Frey? Dead by end of season Also, Kevan Lannister is clearly not in charge right now. I would just love it if Varys comes and kills him for no particular reason other than that's what happens in the book and they are trying to get back on track after the huge mess season 5 was. Also whoever thinks the small talk between Tyrion and regular 1 and 2 was good should go see a doctor because something is wrong in their heads. Remember when small talk was used to establish background and character? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY5As-RP1MM

The prospect of the Hound fighting zombies in the north with Beric and Thoros is the only interesting thing out of this episode. But they are going to screw that up too. This show sucks unfortunately

Everything about the Arya in Braavos storyline was complete poo poo. Jesus Christ, and on top of that her coming back and confronting Not-Jaqen and him being "Oh cool, NOW you can join us" like a total dumbass and letting her leave alive. Just, mindbogglingly dumb. The Riverrun stuff was decent. Interesting how they completely changed the motivations for Blackfish, Edmure and Jaime. The Edmure stuff worked though, even if it was changed a bunch, and its good to have Tobias Menzies back on the show Nobody plays a complete gently caress Up like Tobias Menzies. Blackfish deciding to kamikaze himself off screen instead of escape to fight another day is a total 180 from the book and super weird and dumb? Ah well. The Kings Landing stuff was cool too, nice little job making Tommen have to confront his mom that way. The kid that's played Tommen has done a real good job and its gonna be sad when he gets Gregor'd or whatever gruesome thing happens to him. And lol at bringing back the Brotherhood without Banners to have a chat with the Hound. What the hell is going on there? And I guess no Stoneheart then? I mean, cuz Beric is around? Or what? What?

24-7 Urkel Cosplay posted:3 guys showed up to threaten the Sept, doesn't mean just 3 people were there for the raid. Ayra was stabbed at leas three times in the abdomen by a 6' knife, and the last one ended with a twist. I mean, I'm a huge proponent of turning your brain to justifications instead of nitpicks if you want to enjoy a show, but even assuming her intestines weren't punctured, her abdominal muscles are definitely hosed up. Just standing, less than a week later, would be beyond excruciating. Parkour? I'm not a doctor, but I doubt it'd be possible if you could block the pain perfectly. The whole Ayra sequence is just lazy. I'm really hoping there's something, anything more to this than it appears.

No. gently caress yeah, the Blackfish is dead. And no Stoneheart. And DnD managed to resolve GRRM's stupid detour of Arya to Braavos. And Varys is returning to Westeros to arrange the Ellaria-Olenna-Cersei war. And no Cleganebowl.

She said if there was a fight, she'd have to fight for the Tullys, but there was a peace brokered, and she was just there as an envoy so she should have just been free to go. Maybe she could have even tried recruiting Edmure. He'd have wanted no part of it, but she doesn't know that.

Podrick Payne if a member of House Payne, he's related to Illyn Payne and he was squire for the Lannisters, nothing more.
