Kind of surprised at how quiet it is here. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think this thread must have some sort of Guinness Book of World Records entry for low expectations.

Pretty much everything Sirken just said. Davos is probably my favorite character and i'm really curious as to what happens to Theon.

The whole production of the show seems like it shot different or maybe they are just going at a faster pace. But it feels different this season, so far.

I'm so excited for ToJ next week. That should be epic.

I'm still mad about the Rez

Real dumb

I hoped you'd get sacced forJon

I'm all for the show pushing forward, but i thought major scheisse went down last night in all too easy form.

>> Jamie turned away by a few sharp words of HS
>> Tyrion approaching/freeing dragons with talk one might use with a strange dog
>> NW totally caving in after Thorne had "rallied" them against all things Wildings
>> Balon gets one snotty scene before getting thrown from rope bridge
>> Roose gets shivved during tender fatherly embrace
>> etc

All this things seemed rushed to me.

I thought the writers were going to put in some elaborate way to troll all of us into thinking Jon was coming back, get our hopes up, then nope. But now I realize, there is a larger troll in play here. He's revived only to be beheaded next week, leaving no chance for resurrection.

I think he will leave the Nightwatch...Since he technically died he is released from his oath yes? He will get the wildlings and retake/rebuild Winterfell. House Stark will rise again and throw a wrench in the Boltons grand plans.

EDIT: This would also make sense because it would make Melissandre's vision of victory at Winterfell actually true

terrible episode and terrible season so far imo

Agree with most of this. I posted another criticism of the pacing as on drugs, meth/steroids. Not good, and not bad so far-- but the storyline is definitely on methamphetamine for this season and I don't expect that to change.

They said they were out of story and barely had 1 more full season in them, we couldn't expect anything else. Its Boardwalk Empire remix to be sure. A show past its writing capability, and past its sell-by date simply due to lack of source material. D&D didn't seem to feel comfortable writing those final 2 season without GRRM source. I'm disappointed HBO brass didn't twist their arm, but I understand you don't simply twist the arm of a show this successful with this many viewers. You can feel the deference that HBO execs have given them, and it shows in the production of this season.

Many unbelievable steroided-methed out actions so far making the characters seem more like caricatures.

I enjoyed it but I'm also side-eyeing it. I just hope they don't do significant damage to the brand ala True Detective, because I'd like to see those spin-offs GRRM is talking about doing with HBO see the light of day.
