So I actually really like Tyrion's interactions with Missandei and Grey Worm. For one, they are just plain awkward and funny. Two, it is a pretty decent call back to how he got to know Bronn and Shae and tells us that despite everything he has been through Tyrion is still trying to make friends and connect with people which is nice after last season when it seemed like he was just plain done with the world. That along with him speaking about his future dreams (which Arya also did) is hopeful but also pretty sad (ditto for Arya) because that poo poo is probably never going to happen. I like that Tyrion and Arya both seem to be growing into their old selves after being battered to hell and back.

I also think Dinklage did this nice thing where in the early parts of the scenes he sells that Tyrion is just bored but as they go on you can sort of tell from his body language and enthusiasm that he is really loving lonely. No one is that desperate for conversation unless they are lonely.
He probably misses Cersei. At least a hateful relationship is still a relationship.

I can't wait to see what kind of arts and crafts Ramsay applies to Rickon as a welcome ceremony for Jon. Maybe he could have him pop out of a fridge.

Small traumatized Stark offspring, if he survives either the show or the book he is probably going to be pretty messed up. His captor in the show is Ramsay though, so he will probably die horribly there.

and from what I can tell, the only assassin skill Arya picked up was fighting in the dark.

She can now lie convincingly! That's...almost an assassin skill...though it seems unnecessary when the world thinks shes already dead and not many people knew what she looked like


Scooter_McCabe posted:

So my theory is Arya Stark is dead. The girl that killed her completed her training, put her face on the wall and took her first real assignment to pose as Arya and go to Westeros. She will probably kill someone we really super like in the last episode and reveal she is not Arya at all. :drat:

but how is she wearing arya's face if arya's face is on the wall :iiam:

also she really loves taking her face off in public i think she couldnt resist doing it in front of jaqen


really that whole chase scene should have been the waif disguised as different people just lunging out of the crowd every time arya thinks she lost her

What is the actual worst episode of Game of Thrones? I think more of worst moments than entire episodes but I'm sure there's a winner out there.

There really aren't any stinkers.

There are some bad scenes and bad casting choices. I still think the new actor for Daario is stiff, and doesn't measure up to the natural on-screen charisma Ed Skrein had.

I remember the chaos speech by Littlefinger was kind of dumb, and poorly received here.

There was that one episode where they thought it would be cool and good to cut to Craster's Keep just to casually show a lot of women and girls being brutally raped.

That one wasn't great.

I really think one of the GOT directors is just doing shot-for-shot remakes of famous films because he doesn't know what he's doing

They admitted that the white walker on the ceiling was based on Aliens, and that Dayne fight was based on Bruce Lee nunchucks. I can totally believe it was really based on the T-1000 and he just didn't realize how goofy that would look.

Now I wanna see Waif try to assassinate Daenerys / Sarah Connor but she's dead so that won't happen.
