I listened to Shape of you and I have to admit I have heard it, but like someone said, I had no idea it was by this particular guy

Maybe this is an age thing but the parties I go to we usually sit around, watch sports, play games, eat food and drink (beer), we don't listen to modern pop music

So whose idea was it to make The Mountain look like Shredder?

I think this is the thing I disliked the most. Seeing his eyes just makes me feel embarrassed for the guy underneath that toilet seat armor.

The song was good and the cameo wasn't intrusive.

Also Ed Sheeran did the ending song to the second hobbit movie so I think he likes nerd stuff too.

Hey, Jon was right in what he did. Lyanna Mormont liked that decision, so it means it was the right one.

I wouldn't have known it was even a cameo if it weren't for the internet losing its poo poo over it. Although the scene was kind of pointless.

Yeah Sansa was being kind of a dick on that one. I guess male Starks can occasionally make smart decisions by accident.

I thought it was a nice scene. It's good to have a bit of humanizing for the bad guys instead making all of them into cartoonish monsters, and making Arya question her "murder everyone" policy was a nice character moment.

also interesting in that they seem much younger than other soldiers we've seen, showing how the war has decimated the population. that may just be coincidence i can't imagine our hack fraud showrunners would do that on purpose.

Did anyone else notice a couple really stretched out shots/sequences?

Like the shot of the White Walkers walking towards the camera goes on for like a minute and a half, and just to establish that they still are around. And while Sam's montage was good, I got the point of it after like 30 seconds but it just kept going and going and going.

Do we really need to pad for time? In this 8 episode season?

It was weird. The montage being so long didn't bother me as much as the establishing shot of the giant wights walking with the army, though. That at least had some purpose in letting us know Sam has been at this for a while.

But in an 8 episode season I expected an hour long premiere to have less filler.

See I tried to preface my original comment with how out of the loop I am with being married with a kid. (Also I have a home gym) being 33 kinda owns.

Also I highly doubt the grown women naked pics thing, usually you get smarter as you get older. I'll bet they gently caress more, but idiot teenagers probably have the lead in the Snapchat a titty game.

But he does? Only two though (other than the on camera singing).

I mean I do agree that upon rewatch he gets way more screentime than your regular extra would in the show but it's not really that inorganic cause he sits next to Arya the entire time and also does have a speaking role.

It would have been preferable if he had the acting chops (or the time, I guess) to deliver the lines the chatty soldier does but I mean, it was a nice song.

it was like how nothing happens in season 5 so they could've actually put the proper "the north remembers" plot line in there. or why kill off all the freys at once if you're just gonna do the poo poo like you posted. when i was watching dany come ashore i checked how much time was left and thought cool we'll get one more scene. lol nope.

I'd argue that the guy who raped his brother, seduced (or raped?) his other brothers wife which got her killed, killed his third brother. Later he chains said raped brother next to the woman who is pregnant from him at the prow of his ship after cutting her tongue out, is prettyyyyy dangerous given that he is also the king of one of the seven kingdoms.

On the show on the other hand his worst crime is what? Killing his brother to become king? Everybody does that there and no one gives a poo poo. Oh and he burned Jamie in the throne room, but that's hardly something that makes you the most evil person ever.

If he wants to be "worse than Ramsay" he has to do some really crazy poo poo to the Sand Snakes, which I doubt the producers have the balls to pull off.

It's the first episode, guy. Relax.

he is an ugly boy with the worst tats so he's lucky he has that sonorous voice and hit it big or he'd never get laid.

Also, Arya is not going to kill them. You could tell she was touched by the line about being kind to strangers, so they'll be kind to you. It's probably the moment where she decides to go back to Winterfell instead of carry on to King's Landing.

Goons being utterly flummoxed by a scene featuring male-female interaction? On MY somethingawful dot com? I never.
