I admit, at times I have a hard time distinguishing between this and the one in TV/IV. But every once in awhile you get a post like the one you quoted and yea...s'all good.

Yestermoment posted:One of the better bits the show did on their own is Brienne throwing down with the Hound. One of the last few moments that gave me the "this could have went well if life wasn't a lovely turn of events" feel of the first few seasons. Not surprisingly any scene especially with the fights with The Hound are amazing. The tavern beat-down or clash of titans with Brienne had some of the better fight choreography in the whole show.

He handles some of the same material (court intrigue, an encroaching ice age) super deftly as just background material, and even as a first-time reader I got the sense of how the entire series had been completed before any of it had been published. There's never a wasted word and it shows. MeatwadIsGod fucked around with this message at 12:34 on May 3, 2019 |

I think it's hilarious how likable, well developed characters from previous seasons like Davos or The Hound are essentially reduced to extra like roles. They really have nothing to left to do from a story point of view.

The lovely way things are explained is jarring too. Maybe I'm used to things being discovered slowly over time cause previous seasons but Jon just being like I'm Aemon Targaryen and my friend Sam said so. And then Gendry being like yeah I'm a bastard my dad's Robert Baratheon. *Shrug*

It makes sense in the books that Bronn, (who is also cool and fun in the books) says "Man, gently caress all this bullshit" and fucks off to a castle with a fat wife, never to be seen again. But TV Fan Service Bronn needs more big moments, so I'm sure he'll show up and have some quips and witty remarks.

On another topic, something that keeps playing through my head the last few days is Brann's "Chaos is a ladder" scene last season.. ffffff I just want this show over with already

Where was the chain of command in their whole army? Why was every single individual solider directly taking their orders from children? Why did the only clues about hierarchy come whenever some nameless extra shouted an order, and then we're shown that the order doesn't count until an annoying child actor immediately repeats it louder, standing by themselves screaming while all the nameless adults run by?

They can't share a scene together also, as per that contract, which is why you see Bronn say to Pod at the last episode of S7: "Come on, let's gently caress off cuz I can't stand to be in the same scene as this woman IRL."

Yeah, I wonder if they rescinded that or what because they have a scene now. Or maybe it's just been so many years and they were like eh.

So who got to run off with the entire season budget, because they saved as much money as possible on CG as well (dark scenes, never more than one thing in the shot, few details, just the same dragon model file over and over in different poses and the same blue fire shader from S7)

The same "snow" layer effect was composited overtop of every frame of the entire episode Remove that and it would be immediately clearer just how little was in every shot

Kind of how Theons last stand worked pretty well since it was a bunch of dudes with arrows vs. a narrow entrance. If only someone could have organized everyone ... A commander of sorts...who has experience in this as a Lord comm--- *Jon Snow fucks off on a dragon then sits with it near the weirwood.*
