Game of Thrones, tv only, books don't exist, no backstory...NERDS already ruining a series that hasn't started (1 Viewer)

Better episode overall, a few thoughts...

- just get it right out the way, my sand snake moved. She's up there with Missandei, Dany, and Robb's wife who I always liked.

- Religious fanatic storyline is weak - one of the weakest the show has told and I hope it's self-contained in this season.

- it's been 2 years since I've found anything Dany has done interesting, hoping that's about to pick up.

- Jon Snow has become the best character and story on the show, I didn't think I'd ever see that.

- How long are Brienne and Podrick going to hang out? It's obviously been a while since they've gotten to wherever they are. Move on in. Also that woman getting flayed was brutal. Sansa has bad luck with men, being setup with the two biggest psychopaths in the world.
1. Had me LMAO

2. I believe she has written off any showing her succulent melons, so don't get your hopes up.

 
but I really hope an epidemic of any kind stays out of the already boring plot line with Dany. it's already been too many episodes/seasons spent hanging out trying to be queen. should I be tough? should I be fair? fair and tough? tough and fair? now have to be toughly fairish while dealing with a health crisis? no gracias. let's get her story arc headed back towards the iron throne and dragons.
Agreed. This plot line has grown stale.

 
I assume Tommen will step up to a war against the Sparrow now.
Tommen is without a small council. Tywin is dead, Tyrion is gone, Varys is gone, Mace Tyrell is gone (not that he was of any use), Cersei and Margaery are in the dungeon ... the only ones left are Maester Pycelle and Littlefinger, and Littlefinger doesn't have an official position there anymore, so it's really just Pycelle.

Who is Tommen supposed to listen to regarding whether to attack the Sparrows? Is he going to start making his own decisions?
Mrs. Peel of course.

Every show needs zombie-like thingies running around! (I guess we already do, but I think the white walkers are napping now.

 
Funny how visual stimuli impacts your memory. The bruises on Sansa's arms reminds me of last summer. Saw this (approx. 23 y.o.) woman walking out of the Trade Center PATH train in a skirt. She had bruises on her thigh where you could see the thumb mark on one side and the four fingers on the other. Had me :shock:

Too many characters (albeit many of them are great) - there simply isn't enough time to showcase everyone and include comprehensive character development within 1 hour each week.

Bran who?

that kid is going to have a barry white voice and a beard the next time we see him.

 
King's Landing could easily be taken now.
My two ideas:1. Littlefinger wasn't talking about Lancel. He was talking about Tommen. He either has proof Tommen is not Rob's son or he thinks he can get Tommen to be controled by the Tyrells somehow.

2. I'd put money right now on Stannis' witch convincing his wife to kill his daughter. And that is going to be the beginning of Stannis' end.
There has now been a scene with an attempted rape on Gilly, and a bonding scene between Gilly and Shireen. I think Stannis decides to let the witch have her way, but Sam has already sent them off together to get them out of harms way. Not good for Sam...

Or Asha, or Blackfish, or any Tullys, or the Brothers w/o Banners, or Ser Pounce, or the Iron Islanders, or Varys...

But hey, we have that engrossing Dorne storyline.

 
By far the best sand snake scene yet.
Serious question - Did that scene have a plot point? So distracted by the boobies that I wasnt paying attention to anything else.
Seems like boob snake is smitten with Bron. That's what I got out of it.
and giving him the antidote
They used the boobs to cover up more horrible writing -

A poison used on a blade that doesn't kill the victim for days? WTF is the point of that? If you put it on a blade, you are expecting it to act fast to aid you in your fight.

An antidote? Seriously? An "I have the only antidote poison"? It's also effective in a 1ml size dosage? Horrible.

I can see the writers sitting around the table and looking at this and saying, 'This is really bad. We better add some nudity to distract people".

Not if you want your victim to have a slow agonizing death. Example: Red Viper's poison used against the Mountain.

:oldunsure: it worked on me.

 
Crappy episode aside from those prefect B cups. I need to find me a 19 year old.

How many episodes are left? It seems like all the main characters have spent this season physically going from point A to B, but storyline and development wise just stuck in the same place as before.

But if Oberyn's poison were instant he might still be alive.

There better be an orgy between Bronn and the 3 sand snake chicks because I don't see the last three episodes saving this season.
:confused:

most of the season has been preamble setting up... whatever happens next. gotta assume as the pieces fall clunkily into place (like Jomar/tyrion and Danys) that there's going to be some good #### over the remaining 3 episodes.

Really? Daenerys and Tyrion together.
So ... scenes of him giving her great advice and her waffling back and forth what to do? Isnt that what Barristan was doing?
If the show writers can't take two of the shows biggest stars, put them in scenes together for the first time and not make it interesting, then yes the season and series maybe lost.

yea seriously. within the first few episodes, tyrion and danny should have rode dragons into westeros, Jon snow and the wildings should have killed all he wight walkers, stannis should have attacked winterfell, bran should have warged into a dragon, and arya should have killed all the people on her list.

not sure what the writers are waiting for. hell, all of the above should have happened within he first half of season one.

whats the deal with all his waiting for stories to unfold. jut get to the punchlines already.

I love Tyrion, but I am just not sure what he brings to this specific situation that will improve it besides some humor. He doesn't have gold or ships, his family name is garbage now, he is not an elite warrior. Maybe I am missing something, but I just don't know what we get out of him besides some advice- maybe he gets her ### to the Iron Bank since he knows how much the throne owes?

I think his character would have been better served staying in Westeros on the run and undermining Cersei. Not sure anything less than him riding off on a damn dragon will have made this slow build up and Dany's story the past few seasons worth it.

 
or maybe they will somehow show the passage of time so that it makes sense for him to be older. Isn't he doing some sort of wizard training with those forest people anyway?

Jockeys are usually pretty small.

Huh....all this time I had thought of them as White walkers. Definitely makes more sense as Wight.
