Apparently Maisie Williams had to tell them to tone down that chase sequence too so that's the milder version of "what if Arya but the Terminator?"

Keep reading. I predicted, almost to the letter, how they would handle Cleganebowl. I'm still proud of that one.

Zombie Gregor reveal is still one of the most disappointing things ever for me, I spent years assuming he was some kind of gross dark heap of rotten flesh inside there but he looked more like a slightly bloated Old Anakin when he finally took the helmet off :shrug:

To be fair, Robert Strong was a pretty dumb charade anyway, like nobody would suspect this mysterious giant fighty armor guy who never eats or sleeps and is exactly as big and strong as that other giant fighty armor guy. "This is my new champion, Ser Notgregor Livingguy"

Lol I'm onto Blackwater and drunk Cersei is best Cersei. Wildfire scene was one hell of an explosion. Bronn and Tyrion's chat in the keep before the fight was wonderful. Tell the Hound to tell the King to tell the Hand was funny. Medieval D-Day landings are silly. They even start calling off by squads like they're modern platoons. And of course you get Hound's Saving Private Ryan scene just to seal it.
Properly calling for arrows to be loosed rather than fired.

Sallying out of the Mud Gate seemed like a bad idea but it did mean we got to see the Hound have fun. gently caress the water, BRING ME WINE. Eat poo poo, dwarf. gently caress the king.

Tyrion and Stannis have pretty lovely speeches. But Tyrion has better background music so he's more inspiring. Shame that Sansa has an awful singing voice. I like how you can see the Hound in her room for a split second before he speaks up.

Stannis perfected the art of fighting endless hordes with his back against a wall for an entire battle years before it was cool.

It's nice watching a battle with some actual strategy and tactics going on. This puts Battle of the Bastards to shame. Most of this battle was extras rather than CGI apart from the big explosion.

Honestly, the only Cersei I like is Blowing Up Half The City For Revenge Only For Her Last Remaining Son To Immediately Throw Himself Out A Window, In A Scene Worthy Of Being Recut With The Curb Your Enthusiasm Theme Cersei.

Qarth turned out to be a whole lot of nothing. They had like three sets and it was so boring that Dany had the least amount of scenes of anyone in season 2.

Therefore season 2 is the best.

Or maybe it’s just a funny tv show and y’all can lighten the gently caress up about whether it’s “realistic” that a goddamn fire breathing dragon would burn a throne made of swords in its grief

Hiya pointing out that it's a fantasy show with magic and dragons, therefore nothing needs to make sense, is idiot child logic

based on what we've seen, GRRM is somehow the only person who can make good poo poo set in this universe. and some people say even he hasn't in 19 years.

There's plenty of other weird stuff to be explored in the world. though it does seem kind of like... who cares about the origin of the white walkers if they amount to piles of shattered ice.

In the Books they have to pretend Clegane is dead because they send his head to Dorne to appease them for Oberyn's death.

Dorne gets overthrown by like two people in the show so they never had to go through the charade of pretending he was someone else.

Makes mildly more sense than I thought, but still pretty dumb. I take it the books aren't far enough along to refer to the Jon Snow "technically I died, releasing me from all obligations :smug:" ruling as precedent for Zombie Gregor.
