Waltzing Along posted:Seeing that Yara just fucks anyone who will gently caress her, I take that to mean that Euron is the same way and wants to gently caress Jamie. I don't think I've bought a single thing Yara has said or done. Like irrespective of Asha altogether, I think she's just about the worst casting choice in the whole show.

A Strange Aeon posted:I just don't understand how loving Cersei outfoxed Tyrion--it seems completely against everything we know about the characters. I'm sure it's costumed as a character arc, but you're right it's completely undeserved of her. Up to the end of the books, Cersei has been completely humiliated in a way that makes you think that her unbridled rage might be quieted in a way that she might actually become effective in the future. But in the show, she doesn't change at all, and everything's coming up roses for her. Plus yeah, you can thank Euron, Jaime, and Randyll Tarly for the military wins; but still..

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:"What did he call it?" I great book part I wish was in the show is in Season 1 when Joff loses his sword to Arya. He'd named his sword "Lion's Tooth" and it makes Renly laugh so hard Robert kicks him out of the room.

One of the worst things about the character direction in this show is that 98% of the time you could describe any/all of them as, "Serious" "Angry" "Sad" "Serious and Horny". That's why I actually like when Sam's on screen. He's wimpy, but doesn't give up. Or the Hound, who doesn't give AF, but you know he secretly does. He's not serious at all. It's also a good argument for characters like Belwas, and why they actually were necessary. Captain Lavender fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Aug 5, 2017 |

I'm trying to figure out where GoT could air if it were true to the book descriptions. Most of the costumes would make people look like literal clowns, if they were as GRRM describes. There'd be lots of slow panning shots over tables full of food. A good amount of glistening, pubey dwarf cocks. Door hinges 'screaming in protest' - left and right. And lots and lots of child rape. Showtime?

This show took a long line of credit out for what Drogon just delivered. Was the scene with the Iron Bank guy some 4th wall breaking display of that? Probably, Did that dragon pay the debt? Probably not. Was great to watch tho/

Seeing Jaime's horse unceremoniously burnt by a dagron reminded me of an interesting article I read on the books. Jaime, leaving King's Landing to settle things in the Riverlands, rode a destrier. The name of the type of horse which means 'right-sided' the same side as the hand he lost. It's just that type of thing that reminds me what this show misses; and that I'm glad I stopped expecting anthing from it in Season 5.

Man, you can feel bad for Jaime. But - and I mention this a positive comparison and not saying what the show should be - Jaime went through a 3 book transformation realizing he had been used for his body, his skill, his hand. And he realized that Cersei embodied everything about himself that he hated. The show did this too, but reversed it for no reason I can come up with other than they needed to build some time (and buddy him up with Bronn) before they make him hate her again. And they will! Jaime; before the end, mark my words, will turn on Cersei again. I'm not bothered that this character was victimized by Cersei. I'm upset that the books found a good way to make him travel that arc; and the show made him backtrack because they don't know how to spin all the plates they put their hands on.

darkhand posted:Jamie has been ina few interesting scenes atleast, more than i can say about most the characters, plus he has some potential to do cool poo poo, that's why I like him. He seems to have the most character development Yeah, I can see that with Jaime. Sorry for my book-opinion about him. He IS still somehow interesting. Going from OBVIOUS VILLAIN to 'possible co-protagonist' is interesting, at least.

That hippo makes some convincing points. Yeah, I haven't read like a ton of sci-fi or fantasy; but I've never read one that made ASoIaF look like poo poo. So if they're out there, by all means, recommend.

Lord of Pie posted:At least they're staying true to the books I was thinking, Littlefinger and Tyrion have been dull since the book content ended - but no. Tyrion has been boring, sad sack in the books since the 3rd one too. And THAT's the character the author identifies with. As if the writing wasn't already on the wall about the alleged upcoming books. If they come out and are decent it'll be a goddamned miracle.

I like how when people meet each other in front of Dany or Sansa or whoever, they have to give a throaway line about their having met in the past. Like Tyrion and Davos talking about the Blackwater, or Jon kind of throwing away any conflict with Theon with one line about how he helped Sansa. It would be ridiculous if they didn't do that. It would go noticed too, but I think the practice of just throwing a line in there hilarious. I hope when Jorah gets back to Dany Jon is still there, and Jon can be like, "Didn't my father send you to jail for slaving?" And Jorah can say, "Aye, your father had balls... unlike the 'man' who set me free..." *gestures to Varys* Varys: "My good lords..." blah blah blah, etc.

I wonder if when Dany reached down from Drogon to help Jon, Clarke said, "Come with me if you want to live" and the cast and crew all had a good laugh about it.

2 Scenes I enjoyed this season in a "I didn't know I wanted it", non-ironic kind of way. 1. Sam / Jorah handshake 2. Theon's brawl on the beach - made me wish the show had more Alfie. The decent seasons were oversaturated (read: made worse) with Theon torture porn, I was glad to see his character get a little back.

Panzeh posted:Honestly this ep could've been done in 60 minutes with a tighter script but I thought it was fine. Um, are you suggesting there's a better way to build dramatic tension than having your entire cast stare at each other is silence for 30 minutes at the beginning of the episode? Cause if so, I'd like to hear it.

Cowslips Warren posted:In the books Bronn is the loving man. See, way back in season 2 when the riot happens in Kings Landing, there's a halfwit Lollys who gets dragged off her horse (she's a noblewoman and had a tiny bit part in season 5 and was never mentioned again) and raped by the mob, and so she needs a husband. Newly knighted Bronn is perfect, so he marries the half-crazy pregnant halfwit and treats her nice, because she is his meal ticket, and stands to inherit a huge castle once her barren older sister dies. Bronn being Bronn, he helps that along by accepting his brother-in-law's challenge of a fight and slits his throat, then kicks the older sister out, and now has a nice castle, a dumb wife who is loyal and will never act out against her, a bastard son he names after Tyrion, and smartly sits the rest of the war out, just waiting to put his own kid in Lollys. I think that older sister goes to complain to Cersei, who punts her to Qyburn to turn inside out or whatever. That whole side story is a rich area. The books are fun. Book Robb is better than show Robb two, because he's riddled with insecurities, which makes being a massive idiot more understandable, or at least relatable.

Tyrion and Sansa looked at each other all meaningfully, I thought for a split second they were going to kill themselves. But they were just getting hyped up to move a little bit.

That article reminded me: Bran said, he'll come for me, and if we kill him, they'll all stop. And that happened, that exact thing. It's really interesting when the plan your heroes start out with works out exactly as described.

I mean, making GBS threads on the story at this point is really just for fun, but otherwise impotent. The only way something can happen that doesn't suck is to magically go back 4 or 5 seasons and re-do it to be interesting. There is no right answer for what happens next, because it's be DOA for 5 years.
