And the guy playing the blackfish was great at acting the part, probably not so good at swinging a movie sword

See also Selmy and the sons of the harpy

They're trying to make a show and the tricky bits of sword fights are all hosed

Not a lot of actors are going to be good in sword fights unless they're in shape and actually get some kind of training. Hell, the LOTR movies had a sword instructor training the actors so they wouldn't be clumsy as poo poo (they still were at times though nothing could make shield-riding Legolas not be dumb).

It could be worse, GoT fight scenes could look like a Steven Seagal movie.

I thought the action from Selmy in that scene was fine - he was bisecting motherfuckers left and right. It was all the other things going on that made it dumb.

EHH, Darkstar-kun?! Should we be going to the Water Gardens when the world is at stake?

"Hm" Darkstar said, as coolly and aloofly as possible. Without even looking back at Tyene, he walked straight ahead to the Dornish baths.

"Don't worry about him," said Arianne, folding her arm underneath her gigantic breasts, like real women do, "he's just a cold, rude rear end in a top hat, and yet I'm strangely attracted to him"

"Me too, isn't he so sugoi?" said Tyene, her eyes mutating into horrifying throbbing hearts.

But I have a bigger problem. Blackfish, Edmure, and Brienne put Jaime back on his book path. Which means him raping/getting back together with Circe didn't need to happen.

Which means D&D have truly become the gurm

So true - I really liked the Jaime arc in the books and was sad he was so unlikeable in the show. And now with just one episode they seem to want to redeem him. Way too late I'd say. Book Jaime is quite sympathetic.

I wonder if having the Lannister army wiped out by wildfire sends him over the edge.

Watch the last episode of the show. Then you'll think the last two books are fantastic.

I haven't read it since but I imagine even Dorne would seem good now after the show's Dorne.

It reminds me of Lost. Lost was great for 3, arguably 4 seasons. I could tell you all sorts of poo poo about it and how great it was. Then it ruined everything for everyone forever and I was forced to watch every proceeding episode and note every minute detail.

edit: I think I got memory problems. This might be the fifth time I've said "It reminds me of Lost." Oh gently caress, what day is it?

My opinion is the same as everyone's opinion in this thread. Psst. Hey, Visceril. I secretly never stopped liking it, I just think the last book could've used a LOT more time in the oven. Don't tell anyone, my goon-cred will be ruined.
