Do I? I guess you know more about me than I do.
Well presumably you didn't just come to 'Reee!!' about the episode, versus elicit some form of response? At least with most of the others in this thread, there's the application of criticism versus outright 'lulz that was bad'? If, say I wrote a spirited defence of the episode at length for instance? What's the likely payoff? An engaging response or simple derision on your part? Personally, I don't think it really means much of anything on an internet forum of all places to simply say whether something was good or bad, but to elaborate as to why said something is good or bad. Therein at least a discussion is to be had even if parties might disagree. Discussion of the last episode ranged far and wide, and albeit it got heated in places it was pretty engaging.
You've personally insulted me in both of your posts to me.
Personally insulted? Get a grip.
You're not funny, you're an autistic bully who attacks and insults anyone who doesnt like their favorite show.
Firstly not my favourite show (In recent years that honour would go to The Leftovers, though of current shows in production I'm rather partial to HBOs Succession which is an absolute delight), Secondly I'm not here to be funny, I'm here to actually discuss the show. As for being an autistic bully? Absolutely 100% on the money. I'm the meanest meanie that ever lived.
10 points for Gryffindor!
Now do you want to discuss the ins and outs of this episode or do you want to tell me just how awful I am again? I'm all ears on that.
So what exactly is Varys implying? I’m not sure quite catch his drift. Is he straight up telling Tyrion he’s gonna betray Dany? Tyrion legit says “Please don’t” as if Varys was gonna kill Dany in her sleep or something
I think its more that Varys is having doubts as to Danys mental stability now that she's finally in Westeros she's not acclimating well to the different cultural mindset and its a point of concern for him. It's important to remember that Varys is one of the few characters that knew the Mad King and his inaction during those dark times weighs heavily on him.
I’m mixed on Jaime running back to Cersei. Seems like a wild change of heart after he already had one by going north to begin with.
I'm not surprised at him leaving, however, I do feel that this is one of these turns that probably would have benefitted from there being a couple more episodes to the season. Having the romance between him and Brienne come to a head in the episode and then for him to leave towards the end just feels too swift. I'd say the same goes for the Gendry/Arya situation also. Gendrys declaration of love over what was a romance born out of a few intense days, really felt awkward, to say the least.
To me it would have been believable if Jon had just kept the secret to himself out of love for Dany. I don’t fully buy that the two can’t co-exist happily.
It's a nice idea, but I don't think it was ever going to happen due to Dany's complete obsession with the Iron Throne, to the exclusion of all other matters. Like for instance where she shut Sansa down for suggesting that they rest the troops and recover their strength versus marching them on Kings Landing. Her hunger for the throne is overthrowing reason.
This season hasn’t been quite what I expected thus far. There’s both good and bad in that.
Agreed., I don't think it's quite lived up to the promise of those early seasons, but in large part, I think a lot of that comes down to the writers having to no actual book material to pull from for the last couple of seasons, just GRRMs detailed outline to work from (which was never a position they envisaged they'd be in given he had 6 years to get the books out) and that's meant that they've had basically create the seasons from whole cloth and there's a limit to what they can achieve with that. Personally, I think they'd have been better off extending the show by another season and slowing the pace of events down so it would be more in keeping with the earlier seasons, but I think that would place a heavy burden on the writers to keep the storyline engaging with meaningful character interactions whilst also progressing events. I could easily see that if they'd elected to go down that route people would equally be complaining at them for dragging the show out. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
-Half of them had Wight killing weapons
Dude, they bum-rushed the final Wight. There's no reason for everyone not to take a Wight killing weapon just on the basis of things going tits up (as they eventually did). Always be prepared.
