I rewatched the season leading up to the finale and he was basically just following the Night King around.

Also since when does Jon carry around a sai?

Wait, Westworld is bad now? Granted I never finished the second season but...


I don't know what was more dumb about the episode. Sam plopping down a copy of "A Song of Fire and Ice" or Tyrion's stories speech.

Oh also, Bran with the

Edit: Goddamnit, I just wrote a bunch of stuff on WW but it didn't post.
I'm about to wrap up S2, and yeah it's not up to par. S1 was awesome, S2 is very bland with some cool moments. Lots of new characters we don't care about, wanton slaughter of nameless hordes, and a whole divergent plotline into Shogun World that leads to...nothing. Like...that's the best we could come up with to integrate it into the story? It adds nothing to the plot except runtime and a woman with a bow and arrow. Mave's daughter could've fled there in all the chaos. Now there's a reason, and something that matters. Instead, we just got lost and stumbled into a sideshow, then dicked around for 1/5 of the season for no good reason. It's as pointless as the entire casino planet plotline in Star Wars. Change of scenery, plot does not advance, then get back to the story later.

I remember someone ages ago said you had died so I think most of us took it as gospel since we hadn't seen you post around here much.


Also The Expanse owns. Altered Carbon didn't do much for me but it was alright.

The Last Kingdom on Netflix has been pretty good for the most part. It's incredibly corny sometimes but at the very least, it doesn't seem to huff it's own farts like GoT seemed to this past season.

It had its moments. Kiksuya was a really good episode. Looks like season 3 will be completely away from the park at least, so that gives them some writing freedom.

West world 2 wasn’t great but it did have the single best episode of the series which focuses on the (previously background) Native American characters and fleshed out their whole thing.

I’ll probably watch season 3 just to support Jesse.

You mean the dagger that's been in his belt since always?

Edit: A cursory Google search suggests he may have only been wearing it this season, but he's been wearing it consistently this season.

Second edit: Nope, found a picture of him wearing it while still in the Night's Watch. So apparently he's always had it.

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

Lotta good cinematography and lighting but I agree about watching some scenes and thinking man, this is really dragged out. Feel like there could have been more story there.

Overall a big wet fart. Shouldn’t have killed everyone season 2/3. Needed another season or at least four more episodes. Otherwise should have cut out a bunch of side stories/arcs from the start. Show will forever be known as really good at first, with a poo poo ending and a bad last few seasons. But what show carries the momentum to the end? You could just feel everyone was done with it all since last season


The Valley Stared posted:

The episode was better than I expected. I still think this season was way to rushed, and much more could have been done to flesh out Dany's story line.

At least Jon finally pet Ghost. Good job, Jon. You should have done that an episode ago.

Definitely rushed. I almost feel like the ghost pet was added post production because of the memes and such about him never petting ghost from the last episode

holocaust bloopers posted:

They faked it. Unsullied were tricked into thinking the Night’s Watch was still a thing.

Would be cool, but idk. Almost looked like two Nights Watch members were picking him up/escorting him

Bet he really wishes he never left that cave. Poor dude has always just wanted to chill out and he’s always dragged into some bs.

Internet Wizard posted:

no one had mentioned it really but yeah it looked like he was using ravens to find out where the night king was and found him through the clouds on the dragon hanging out above. Which he fails to pass on to anyone in any way.

beanieson posted:

So that’s pretty much what’s implied through it all right. He set up this specific timeline etc. I saw a spoiler online last week that he’d take the throne, but I thought it’d be much more nefarious. Friend said Vegas had a betting pool and pulled him as an option over the weekend or some such


Surely the dragon is just hanging out in old Valyria. Is that the same one that kept going out that way before? I liked the melting of the throne
