make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I hope this week is a long break from King's Landing. Unless it's Littlefinger raising an eyebrow to all the dumb-shit shenanigans from once-queen.
I'm just more interested in other plot threads... come back to KL next week.

Not that I don't love Cersei (as a character), and Lena Headey's portrayal, but it almost feels as though there's a quota to have King's Landing/Cersei scenes every episode (bar the episode last year that focused exclusively on the battle at the wall).
If it was Missandei they would at least be on the same continent.

The Imp is gonna bang Dragon Mom and Jorah Fedora will throw himself from the highest cliff.
Omg we're in the home stretch. I always get so antsy the last 3-4 hours before GoT.
I'll quit this series.

The most interesting thing for me right now is the build up around winterfell.
And thinking about it, it dawned on me that this is probably the buildup to winterfell. Which is to say, I'm staring to think that winterfell is maybe this season's ep 9 crescendo, which means it's gonna be yet a while before stuff gets too heated there.
I wonder how long it will take Pod and Arya to train... another season?

were they trying to make a point about their fear before? like maybe they just didnt give a shit and went in recklessly because they lack fear, if that weren't the case they might have stayed in formation.

They were all together though in the room. They just never fought as a unit even with their commander right there. Most got picked off one at a time as they fought alone.
I rewatched the taking of Yunki(?) or whatever that city was where Daario and Jorah and Grey Worm basically did it themselves. The 3 of them killed about 20 trained guards during the first run and then got swarmed by about 35-40 more before the scene cut away.
Yet the 3 of them fighting back to back walked away victorious. Yet dozens of Unsullied ( including worm ) couldn't take out dozens of dagger wielding, unarmored ex slavers. And that included one of the finest swordsman in the land as well.
Was just poorly written, directed , planned and executed.
Worst scene in GoT since Jamie losing his hand. Jamie losing his hand has ended up being a horrible idea. That character may as well not be around anymore. As much as I hated Jamie he was Atleast good enough to hate. I don't even like the " new " Jamie despite his changes in personality. They are forced changes so never will feel genuine. Id rather have asshole Jamie back with that confidence and combat ability.

Dumbass already had The Mountain on the ground, unarmed and wounded, he just needed a killing blow but pride and rage got the best of him. Best(worst) death in the series so far.
I mean, they did say not all of them were tested and ready to officially become Unsullied, but what did surprise me was that they lost while being with their commander and one of the best swordsmen of Westeros.

Compared to the best fighting force in the world when they were already fully armored and battle ready and had their commander + one of the best individual swordsmen in the world with them? Nah, worst scene of the series yet imo.
IMDB says that episode is better than all of season 1. No way.

Upon seeing Tyrion chat up Daenerys...
LOL hilarious. Poor Jorah.
I have a feeling they won't even get there tonight, instead it'l be dragged on and they won't arrive until the end of the season. Hope I'm wrong.
Whhhaaaattttt? That scene was great!
Yeah, I love that scene and the turn Jamie's character took too.
I wonder if he ever considered getting a blade mounted on his right arm. It would be impractical most of the time but I bet he could fight well with it.
You call them ex slavers, when it's far more likely that they were the highly trained, battle tested, but currently unemployed pit fighters (which the show has mentioned numerous times) being paid by the ex slavers.
But I can't expect too much from someone who thinks Jaime losing his hand was a bad scene. You'd probably be better off watching some by the numbers network drama.

D&D should be ashamed for treating Semly like that. He went out like a bitch, for no reason.

Just read Bran (not a book spoiler)
Also, I can't wait to see more of the wildlings, specifically Mance's army, which I hope doesn't disperse after his death. I mean, he had giants, mammoths and GIANTS RIDING MAMMOTHS.
will skip this season. Why would they do that after that cliff hanger?

That's a bit of a spoiler isn't it? Either way I don't give a shit, that plotline bored me.
Why did they want this season to cover 2 whole books again? I rather them follow the storyline than come up with something. They were doing fine ever since so I don't get why they want to rush past the books.
They want to move past the books so that they can spare GoTGaf from possible spoilers.

I think they said it before the season started, but I'll tag it just in case I guess.

In hindsight Jamie losing his hand was a dumb decision. Yeah it was shocking and awesome when it happened and led to a new dynamic with the character but ... Well just look. What has he done since besides force himself on his sister next to the dead body of his son? Nothing. He is not at all confident, has no ability to fight anymore, has no real idea who he is or what he is doing and it does not look like the writers have any idea what to do with him either.
Some stuff in this show, too much stuff, seems to be done for shock value alone. When it comes to furthering the overall plot or making a more compelling character the show has failed. The death of Barristan seemed like it was put in there simpy to have a " oh shit " surprise moment since the entire season has been void of them so far.
Makes me fear what else these directors will do just for the hell of the. " shock value. " moment. They seem to be using it a bit too often.
In hindsight it would have been much better for the show to still have Jamie as his old self but perhaps some other events causing him to change his outlook a bit. Like catching Cersei cheating or something. Who knows. But this current Jamie is about as interesting as that dead patch of grass in an otherwise healthy lawn
Godspeed HBO!
Haven't been watching the thread this week, but thinking back to last week there's a lot of stuff that's been simmering and ready to come to a head. Hopefully we'll have lots of time with Sansa/Boltons/Stannis/Jon - the northern conflict has been pretty interesting so far and I can't wait to see what Stannis's play will be.

Not really no. When Marius gathered a horde of Gladiators to defend the city of Rome, Sulla's soldiers wrecked them with no trouble.
Some might consider it a spoiler of course, but yeah they producers announced it months before this season started.

It can also be deduced from the cast in the listing in the OT, which was discussed back when it was posted. So, I'd say it's safe to considering that not a "spoiler".

Such a cute scene.
But they are namedropping The Stone Men a lot, so I guess those will come into play this season somewhere. Maybe that rowing guy finally got somewhere.
