GRRM has watched his animes, she was really a 1000 year old demon!

Also calling bullshit on Theon/Sansa being ok after taking a walk through the water and shruggin it off a while later while remaining outside. You ain't gonna stand for too long after that.

 

[Damerman]

show loras can be summed up as "i'm gay!"

ugh

no, the show made it very clear that he is one of the best knights in the kingdom. same as the books. until cercie sent him on that suicide mission.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

This was a very strange scene for sure, almost comical.

To say nothing of not showing us how they survived the fall!

 

[Valhelm]

lol

 

[LordCanti]

I get the feeling from the end that Milisandre is the same lady as the one that gave Cersei the prophecy.

The lady that gave her the prophecy has reasonably accurate prophecy giving abilities though and Mel's are...iffy....

 

[Psychoward]

no, the show made it very clear that he is one of the best knights in the kingdom.

What show were you watching?

 

[Fuzzy]

Ramsay should forget about Sansa and get with a woman who's his equal, Obara Sand.

 

[whytemyke]

"We need to cross the river or we'll be found"
"But I'll die"

"Oh I'm ok"

"We're safe!"
"We're not safe. I'll distract them. Run north always north blah"
*Stands in front of them*
"She's dead"
"No she isn't, she's right there"

*Dogs disappear*

It's like a Monty Python bit.
"She ran away!"
"No she didn't she's right there!"
Sansa: "No I'm not!"
"See! I told you!"
"I'm looking right at her!"
"Well I don't know how since she's gone."

Season 4 they killed off Tywin
Season 5 they killed off Stannis
Season 6 they're gonna kill off Roose


each season they kill off another great, grizzled old man actor

shame

Shit, they killed off grizzled oldish man Doran before he could even get up to any scheming or even drop his Fire and Blood speech. At least let the poor guy monologue before unceremoniously killing him.

 

[Garret]

What about the times we saw Melisandre taking baths naked without the necklace?

 

[Damerman]

What show were you watching?

the same show where Loras beat the mountain at jousting.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

To say nothing of not showing us how they survived the fall!

Yeah that seemed like a pretty high drop.

 

[Speevy]

So you just killed a whole bunch of people and led our army to victory Ramsay. Your girlfriend is dead.

I think I'll piss you off now. *poke* *poke* *poke*

<scene of Roose on flaying post*

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

and still magically show up to save Sansa.

I know right? Jesus christ man

 

[Operations]

D&D claim there had been hints of Mel's age. My memory is a mess. Where in the book is it suggested she's centuries old?

 

[carlsojo]

Idk why I read these threads anymore, I should just get drunk, watch, and enjoy.

 

[Psychoward]

the same show where Loras beat the mountain at jousting.

in season 1, then after that they fail to mention anything of the sort and his scenes are him just being gay

 

[Basileus777]

D&D claim there had been hints of Melts age. My memory is a mess. Where in the book is it suggested she's centuries old?

Her POV chapter in ADWD.

 

[Kuroyume]

lol

lol

 

[Speevy]

My favorite scene was Sansa accepting Brienne into her service. That felt pretty cool.

Also Aliser Thorne's badass "I killed him."

Dude's got some balls.

 

[Kalnos]

Idk why I read these threads anymore, I should just get drunk, watch, and enjoy.

try asoiafcirclejerk subreddit, it's much better than any official forum

 

[Dash_Riprock]

lol

Watch them pull a Lucas and edit the necklace in for the boxset release.

 

[Neifirst]

So did Jaime have them turn the ship around once Myrcella died since they were about 50 feet from the dock, pick up a coffin, gold shroud, and 2 Sand Snakes? I don't understand how they got onboard to kill Trystane...

 

[demosthenes]

Shouldn't Brienne's sword cut through the normal steel swords?

 

[toddhunter]

What about the times we saw Melisandre taking baths naked without the necklace?

She had it on her ankle.

... or something.

 

[WaffleTaco]

D&D claim there had been hints of Mel's age. My memory is a mess. Where in the book is it suggested she's centuries old?

Well she's always been mysterious, plus I think she did hint in S4 at some of her stuff being faked to create illusions and what not.

 

[Speevy]

Your fires burn low my king.

NAKED GRANDMA

 

[Fuzzy]

What about the times we saw Melisandre taking baths naked without the necklace?

She was obviously hiding the gem somewhere else.

 

[Brazil]

Shouldn't Brienne's sword cut through the normal steel swords?

Yes.

 

[Psychoward]

Shouldn't Brienne's sword cut through the normal steel swords?

yes

furthermore how did theon's sword go through the shield of the Bolton knight

 

[il Diavolo]

Poor Doran. What a fucking waste.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

Actor playing Alliser is amazing

I love him

 

[danm999]

D&D claim there had been hints of Mel's age. My memory is a mess. Where in the book is it suggested she's centuries old?

In her POV chapter there's an offhand line about how she practiced her art for "years beyond count" which would be unusual in she was in her 30s-40s.

 

[Brazil]

Poor Doran. What a fucking waste.

I was born for this

I'm so good at king

 

[Speevy]

Shouldn't Brienne's sword cut through the normal steel swords?

That only works for Targaryens. Joffrey couldn't cut that book as well as he'd hoped.

 

[VenomousCoffee]

Killing the only bright spots in Dorne is ... certainly an interesting approach.

Arya, everything in the North, and Cersei's response to Myrcella were all good.

I did laugh at the Khal's lines, but I'm not sure cliched humor was the way to go in that scene. And you know a scene is lame when a walk and talk with Tyrion and the Spider can't save it.

I didn't know about the Red Woman theories, so I was legit surprised. Makes sense to do that to set up her sacrificing herself for Jon.

 

[whytemyke]

What about the times we saw Melisandre taking baths naked without the necklace?

She didn't stare into a dirty mirror beforehand.

 

[Flare]

Weakest premier and short to boot.
Pros: The Wall, and Sansa/Theon running (although I didn't like convenient Brienne), King's Landing was decent
Cons: Everything else, dialogue and everything, just terrible. Jorah and Daario happen across the exact spot Dany was, the fleet got conveniently burned to make room for the Greyjoy ships, Dorne was a mess, and remains one still.

Doesn't bode well for the rest of the season, I sincerely hope they pick it up.

 

[dsp]

Actor playing Alliser is amazing

I love him

He has a strong booming voice.

This thread is more fun than the show.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

lol

APPARENTLY (lol), if you go back and watch that scene, Selyse acts all weird and freaked out the entire time. So MAYBE there's some internal consistency?

 

[Orbis Tabula]

lol

They just had to meet the tits quota that episode...

 

[Kahoona]

I'm so bummed they've cut Lady Stoneheart out of the show entirely.

 

[Speevy]

Does Jeremy Pondeswa not know how to film in sunlight?

Good grief Dorne looked horrible.

 

[Ozium]

lol

lmao

Selyse acts all weird and freaked out in every scene

HBO has a tits quota and a resurrection quota. No less than ten pairs a season, and no more than one revival per show

 

[RiZ III]

Seeing Sansa finally getting rescued was the best thing in the show in the past two seasons.

Overall I am kind of annoyed how far off the show has gone from the books. Yea yea I know book four was slow, but so was the last season of the show. If there's one thing Martin does really well it's his character dialog. I can't imagine the writers of the show coming anywhere close to the sharp and witty dialog of Martin's.

 

[Damerman]

SMH... y'all are wack. I'm going to bed.

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

They needed all that extra time to perfect the Dornish plot.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Selyse acts all weird and freaked out in every scene

She was pretty calm in her last scene, just being all chill and hanging around.
