I kind of assumed that the Sansa and Dany scene was meant to be forced. Like, she isn't really trying to best best mates with Sansa, she was just badly pretending to be nice to try and get Sansa on side. It was super fake and obvious but it seemed like that's kinda true of Dany, she isn't used to being nice to people instead of whining at or killing them...

yeah i was thinking daenerys was faking it but emilia clarke is a bad actor so i couldn't tell.

lmbo gently caress off with this poo poo. You're whining about exposition in a show that started a decade ago when we're not going to see half these characters again. We deserve these moments. You want to be all like "beep boop the show did not advance the plot therefore it is bad writing beep" when Jaime just knighted Brienne, or Sam gave Jorah his family sword as if that doesn't mean poo poo in this character driven story. You and the Zaphod42's of the world: I'm sure I speak for over half of the thread readers when I say "lmbo gently caress off".

problem is they spent last season teleporting everyone around to get people into place when they could've taken their time and then had one last full season. at this point it's just get on with it. plus if the set up is this slow the next four episodes are gonna have to again zip through poo poo.

Episode was great outside of the yikes Arya/Gendry scene, TV/IV goons brains have been broken since fat man stopped making books.

the show has been mediocre to terrible (and more on the latter side) since season 4. and i aint a reader of them books.

it's still him (1st season guy obviously objectively the best one) but i saw art of what zombie mountain looks like in the books and it's so much better than the skyrim reject we got.

Once again I loved the episode. It really had everything the books don't in terms of satisfaction, sentimentality, and generally building a story that could actually be a song

In fairness, what is left to tie up? You got two to three solid long episodes to wage this battle. Then it's an episode or two of the aftermath and who will take the throne. Don't think it'll be that rushed seeing that the last three episodes are nearly 4-5 hours combined.

at the pace of older seasons you'd have a battle episode, a post battle episode, then they're would be the travel time to king's landing/set up for that, that battle, the aftermath etc.

i mean i hope she does but she's survived decisions/actions that got way better characters killed off way easier. she's pulled like 20 robb starks yet there she is.

Really disappointed with the motivation they're giving the Others. It's the most boring by-the-numbers poo poo.

the series would've been far more interesting without them so it's fitting they're just mindless kill everything badguys.

This also fascinates me. I'm sure plenty of people who complain about it complain because the show's gone in directions they don't like, which I get, because I felt that way about Hannibal season 3. It's for those people who seem to have not enjoyed the show for a long time that I don't get. I mean, I have enough of a problem finishing shows I actually like. And even when a show starts going in a direction I don't like (again, like Hannibal season 3), I just, you know, stop watching, because I don't have the time or inclination to watch a show that bores/upsets me. What attracts a person to watch a show that just makes them so angry all the time?

if i start something i have to finish it. i've never put down a book half read or stopped a movie half watched.

I was wondering why goons got their knickers in a twist seeing a 22-year-old’s sideboob then I remembered that y’all are all miserable old shits yourselves. I’m dating someone only a year older than Maisie Williams irl, am I a pedo?

Our youthful exuberance also allows us to enjoy good TV shows like HBO’s Game of Thrones

she doesn't look her age. and yeah i'm guessing most of us are closer to gendry's actor's age.

"realistically" every house should've turned against her at that point and she should've been boxed in. but nah the lannister army is invincible (apart from vs a dragon) so they just go around putting down every one.

the white walkers/others were a bad idea anyway. the interesting stuff is the warring human factions. shoulda just been an encroaching superwinter. then again i'm a guy that also hates the dragons and wishes the outright fantasy elements were minimal.

Did people forget that Pod's skill with the ladies was basically a joke? Bron and Tyrion paid the hookers in advance, and then gave Pod some gold to pay them with, which they give back to him and tell him how great he was. Boosting his confidence.

The whole point was to reward Pod and make him feel awesome. He wasnt some sort of magic dicked virgin.

nope pod is a cunning linguist.
