This is one of the legit reasons why Martin will never finish this poo poo. Instead of providing just anymore info at all about R'Hllor over Feast and Dance he keeps relegating him to some kind of purgatory between literal deus ex machina and nebulous trickster God. He's really past the point where it can be explained easily. Idk where it goes from here.

I know this one is kinda dumb but it bugs me that the've switched actors out a few times. In one of the recent episodes Berric Dondarion tells Jon he knew his dad and that he had sent him out to arrest the Mountain. Right. But when you look at that scene in Season 1 it's a completely different guy and it bothers me.

HBO fires actors when they complain or demand slightly more money per episode.


Also all the money they spent on CGI battles and dragon scenes would have been better spent on more tits. I have more fond memories of the parody play with Fake Sansa than anything that happend in this cheesy set piece season.

The bad writing was not showing the scene between Sansas meeting w/ LIttledick and his execution. The scene where Sansa goes to Bran and asks his advice and Bran is like, Little is a prick and this is what he has done blah blah blah. It is implied but not shown. It was probably filmed but they felt it was more important wasting 30 minutes at the dragon pit rather than having a sensible narrative.

Oh wait, but then it wouldn't be a surprise when the twist comes and it's not Arya on trial. Fine, don't show the Bran scene, at least mention off hand that they talked or anything really. Most of the people who watch this show are dumb as bricks and probably read the books and unless things are spelled out for them with terrible book writing can't figure things out.

You were right!

http://www.avclub.com/a-scene-explaining-one-of-game-of-thrones-most-baffling-1798632257

quote:

Which brings us to Arya and Sansa Stark. Although the recently reunited siblings’ feud ended up being part of a secret scheme to bring about Littlefinger’s final reckoning, that scheme was kept secret from the audience as well. So were the showrunners just being sloppy by having Arya and Sansa fake-threaten each other alone in a locked room in a world where there is no electricity, let alone hidden cameras? Was Littlefinger listening at the door with a dragonglass goblet to his ear? And what the hell was Bran doing at the inquest? As Variety explains, Arya’s animosity towards her sister was real, and its sudden reversal was supposed to be explained away in a scene that was cut from the season-seven finale:

“We actually did a scene that clearly got cut, a short scene with Sansa where she knocks on Bran’s door and says, ‘I need your help,’ or something along those lines,” Isaac Hampstead-Wright, who plays Bran on the show, says. “So basically, as far as I know, the story was that it suddenly occurred to Sansa that she had a huge CCTV department at her discretion and it might be a good idea to check with him first before she guts her own sister. So she goes to Bran, and Bran tells her everything she needs to know, and she’s like, ‘Oh, poo poo.’”

So, basically, Arya really did intend to kill Sansa, but changed her mind when Sansa offered up Littlefinger’s throat for the slitting instead. And Bran knew, because he knows everything, but wasn’t going to say anything until Sansa asked. And the show meant to explain all of this, but cut it in favor of Jon Snow’s butt. Silver linings, we guess.

I feel like arya getting duped makes sense, beyond her separation from sansa she's also p new to the whole super assassin thing and LF missleading her by intentionally leaving stuff around that implicates sansa is in flavor of both her and him. Sansa getting duped doesn't really as she's been burned by LF so many times, but if the plot was that she went "wait a minute, this doesn't entirely add up" and talked to Bran then that's actually p solid writing for how she learned of his plot and turned it back on him; she was distrustful because she knew he was a snake and consulted her brother for help. Together as a family they played off their own developments/strengths and trapped him.

It just falls flat when there's not a scene showing that's how they turned the tables.
