Game of Thrones, tv only, books don't exist, no backstory...NERDS already ruining a series that hasn't started (3 Viewers)

I know some don't like her story, but I've enjoyed it and look forward to more of it.
Havent heard many, if any people complaining about the Arya story.
arya story was pretty boring until the end, it wasn't Dorne bad, but pretty slow, washing dead bodies and such
This is what I was talking about. Lots of comments about being too slow. I was fine with the slowness, she's the character I probably care the most about now so I liked the building of her character. I definitely see where people would think it was too slow.
 
I think we've been conditioned from the first episode to root for the Starks, to see them as the "good guys". I'm starting to feel like the whole point of this show is to show that good guys don't always win, they get #### on as much as anyone.

and where TF was Ghost?!?!

 
To get this back on topic. Jon and Stannis are alive while The Mountain and Arya are dead. Yes?
I don't get why people are assuming Stannis is alive? What's the point in keeping him alive there?
Because there is nothing the show over more than a death scene. And they didn't show it. She's going to hand him over to Rapesy. Worse than death.
I suppose you think Syrio is alive too?
Never heard of him

Jorah (I think it was him) told us the point in S1.

"The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace. They never are."

 
I wish they'd done some body double/cgi magic on some of the crowd members who chose to expose themselves during the walk of shame.

I actually think Syrio has something to do with the many faced God. I too am cynical of anything they don't show taking their last breathe. Syrio, Stannis, the Hound, all good to go.

 
Funny thing is, if they had killed Jon Snow off during most of the seasons before this one, TV-only viewers would have been cheering.

 
I think Snow (Hartington) is gone for season 6. There will be hints of him throughout season 6 but no Snow in body form. He'll return in season 7 when he is resurrected. He'll make peace with the White Walkers in the end.

Varys

Hated that he just showed up. Another it feels forced because we are stuck in 10 episode arcs. I don't know what I would have prefered with him showing up because I wanted him back in the story, but to just show up with no explanation at all was not my favorite part.
He was already on his way to the Queen/Mereen with Tyrion before Mormont abducted him. Why wouldn't he keep going? His goal was always to get to the Queen's side, after he lost the Imp it's not really strange that he kept going.

because we all watched him die.
Yeah. We also watched the leader of the Brotherhood without Banners die. And be resurrected. By a Red Priest. And saw the evidence that it had happened multiple times. You know who else saw that? The Red Woman, who was there and witnessed it. Even she was surprised by that power.The same Red Woman who happened to make her way into Castle Black like fifteen minutes before Snow's murder, instead of getting her comeuppance with Stannis.

Aemon told John "Kill the boy. And let the man be born".

Sam told the kid, about John "he always comes back".

Do you think all of this is just coincidence? They're bread crumbs that you're supposed to be smart enough to pick up and follow.

Nevermind the fact that the significance of his secret parentage, that we all think we've figured out, is way too important to just kill off with no payoff.

Pretty much, yeah.

I mean, this isn't like the wild theorizing in the True Detective thread. There's no Yellow King shenanigans here. This is all pretty obvious to anyone watching. Maybe it sticks out to me more because I've watched this season in two huge binge sessions rather than once a week, but I think you're in denial.

 
I suppose on this show, anything's possible.

But as disappointed as I was by his death, I don't want him to return. Resurrections in fiction and TV shows and movies are almost always lame. It tends to happen a lot, and it destroys the impetus of the death in the first place. That's why Star Trek III was such a terrible movie- because if Spock can come back, what's the ####### point of him dying in the first place?

Dead people should stay dead.

It use to be said that there are no throw away lines,everything means something in Game of Thrones but I have lost faith in the show writers and the show is losing it's way. Most of this season's best parts were off source material. The show writers parts were weak and seem forced.

Take that up with Jesus H Christ, Ace.

 
That jump for Sansa and Theon was pretty high... Almost looked like suicide, but I think they're still in the mix.

I think one of the opening scenes for next season will be Cersei's revenge on temple people.

Happy the dwarf is back in power.

No idea what is happening with Arya, cliffhanger I wish we could've gotten more details on.

Jon Snow is dead. Maybe the white walkers will make him rise, otherwise not happy about that subplot being killed off.
Happy? I thought he was Grumpy.

Yeah, well my people didn't really enjoy that story either.

It's the most popular story in human history though. I know we aren't suppossed to mention books here, but that one sold a lot of copies.

Well, hopefully the writers of the show will continue to channel George R.R. Martin, and not C.S. Lewis.
