Tyrion killing Tywin was the peak. It's been a slow decline since then.

They need to get themselves a Zombie Gendry, who apparently is an All World distance runner

Before I thought they wanted to kill people, now are they biting and eating them?

True but I can't really blame them.

They signed on to make an adaptation of the books. Book 6 was supposed to be done 4 years ago and Book 7 shortly after that.

Yeah, that's probably true.

I'll stand by my assertion that BCS is a FAR SUPERIOR tv show currently.

He rowed back.

Its no surprise its happened. The first 3 seasons were the best and they were fairly close to the source material. Once they jumped past the books and invented their own storylines, its gotten worse. I think GRRM told them "X sits the Iron Throne at the end" and they've just done their own thing after that.

the dragons are a deus ex machina whenever they're used. at least this time there was a price paid. and the dragons didn't solve anything.

jon snow's not known for his good ideas. this was definitely a stupid excursion but what can you expect...

i agree the writing this season has been a bit dumbed down. but if you look at some of the new audience the show has gathered...i can't really say i blame them.

ZOMG POPSUGAR!!!

Basically.

I'm sure Martin is giving some things to them but HBO wants their show so these guys have to make shit happen.

I don't know if they are eating them are they? I think they just use every weapon at their disposal and biting works in close combat.

Was season 4 veering from the books?


It had Mountain vs Viper and Tyrion vs Tywin. Great season.

No, you're right. I thought that was season 3.

no, he means "Better Call Saul".

I've heard reviews as stellar as "it's pretty okay."

"I don't hate it."

"What else am I going to watch on a Monday?"

It was but it also was the biggest setup episode in the series and they had to find a way to get all the pieces in the right places. This was them fixing the issues created by the books and finally bringing the entire world and cast of characters into the same storyline for the last episodes.

When we view the season finale and then what is setup for next season I think we'll realize that all of it was now possible because of this episode and that quest.

I think FF is full on retard when it comes to his BCS love, but these comments are just as retarded. BCS is a very good show, but not even anywhere near the same class as BB or GOT.

BCS is a very good show. One of the best current shows.

Now just leave it alone.

Id love to watch the finale with Fonzie. He's gotta be the most likable celebrity on the planet.

Completely disagree. This episode isn't going to be retroactively redeemed if next week is awesome. It was a perfect example of just how stupid and lazy the GOT writers have gotten.

Ok maybe just stop watching then.

You're getting into Bucky Chris/Apple territory in terms of defensiveness. It's ok to think this show isn't flawless.

I'm not being defensive. You won't even entertain the idea that with extra context we will discover why this episode had to be how it was. You have spent most of the season calling the writing stupid and lazy even when the point here is that the writing of that specific episode will likely have solid reasoning why it had to be done.

I didn't think it was a particularly strong episode either. I just think that when we look at it based on what it setup we will understand that it was vitally important to pretty much everything that happens. I've read a little bit too much of r/freefolk to feel comfortable giving my expanded thoughts on that prior to the season finale but I think you are wrong to completely write off the possibility that the "stupid and lazy" writing was not done with specific purposes in mind.

I'm sure they have a reason behind it. It's just a bad one.

I'm far from the only one with this criticism. Most critics agree the writing has been a pretty glaring weakness this season.

If you read all my comments I think you'll realize I haven't been overly critical. It's a very good show that is struggling towards the finish line. Very common

Great episode.

What guarantee is there that a) Cersei will believe what she's seeing is real, and b) that she'll care. Plus why was this the only way?

Nothing that happened this week, nor nothing that could happen next week would change that.
