That's fair, but neither is using a sword to kill a human...or a catapult to tear down a wall. Some weapons are just better suited for certain things. And, if I had to choose an ancient weapon to kill a dragon, the scorpion would top my list as well.
I don't think that was him being a coward. I think he just saw the writing on the wall. The quick scan around the area (showing Euron's men mutilating the other ironborn) was evidence that he was assessing the situation. If he tries to rush Euron, there's a very good chance he and Yara die anyway. And then it was all for nothing.
Which is exactly what he will do. He will give his life to reframe himself to save Yara. He kills Yuron(sp?), just before Yuron is about to kill Yura.
Would be impressive, since he's clinging to a piece of driftwood in the ocean and Euron's fleet is going back to King's Landing, where Theon has never been. But obviously his story isn't over so I'm curious to see what he cooks up
Oh it was definitely the rational thing to do. Just seems like he should have gone out with some honor. Really I'm just over the character.
Not enough time left in the run to keep him around unless they have plans for him. I'm over him and that was the perfect redemption moment but They can't kill Euron yet.
When people look back on this series the main criticism will be the filibusters in seasons 4 and 5.
yeah, but even those seasons were better then 98% of TV. just amazing, and when people watch this in the future it will likely be binge watching and it will be just as good as the rest in that format, i think
They made it a point of saying Dany didn't want to be queen of ashes over and over, she'll go north. Cersei isn't going anywhere, she'll be there when Dany gets done.
Yup. And it's all because Martin didn't put in the work to finish the book. If he just would have been straight with the showrunners and told them to go ahead and finish this off they would have had plenty of time.
I was arguing about the sand snakes making way more sense then Tyrion last week.
Hi, El Floppo!
Same thing they'd give us: AK-47s, AK-74s, AKMS. The fighters need RPG-7 antitank grenade launchers, Katyusha 170-millimeter rockets, wire mines, plastic mines, bicycle bombs, sniper rifles, ammunition for all of the above, and frequency-hopping radios and burst transmitters so these guys aren't so ####### easy to find.
For whatever minor complaints I may have week to week, I'm always thoroughly entertained. It's the one hour of TV each week I actively look forward to.
I thought that was the 2 sand snakes at the front with the last one, Mama, and Yara alive for the gift to Cersei.
Can't be 100% but I think you're right. They aren't killing someone like Yara offscreen when we last saw her as a hostage. Those were the two sandsnakes Euron destroyed.
Littlefinger liked that a little too much. Doesn't he have the biggest portion of the army around there with the army from The Vale? With Jon sound and the Wildlings heading north, I think bad things will happen in Winterfell.
I don't know. Looks like the white walker behind the knight king is always holding a little box. It's most likely a ring. A wedding ring. Those deep blue eyes show he's full of love. But he's a bad man on the inside. A sad man. He's had centuries. Only lonely. His love is vengeance. And that's never free. And no one knows what's like. To be the bad man. To be the sad man. Behind blue eyes.
It just doesn't make sense. The whole point of giving a show an end date is to prevent it from languishing with a bunch of filler. If a tight end date is making the show worse by forcing them to cram everything in, then what was the point in making that end date? I mean the show is making money hand over first so it's a lose-lose if it's making the quality go down too.
You say this, and I get it, but after 6 seasons of watching everyone slowly shift into place would you really enjoy more of watching everyone slowly travel to where they "need to be" now that it's endgame time? The last couple seasons brought us to an obvious tipping point, I don't really mind that that we're skipping the slow burn of previous seasons to get to plot resolutions.
If you're asking me if I enjoyed the deliberate pacing of the first 6 seasons a lot more than the unevenness of the last 2 episodes then heck to the yea. Stuff has more meaning when there is a build up to it. Nevermind all the suspension of disbelief required with some characters apparently having GPS trackers and access to the GoT wiki in the show.
Maybe it's just what you really loved about the first seasons and the characters. I would say yes/no to your question. Yes I would love it if they got back to the writing and dialogue that they had for the first 4 seasons. Problem is (for me anyway), the stuff we spent time on wasn't nearly as good and the good characters got shifted to worse spots. I don't think Tyrion is as good now that he's with Danny, LF isn't as good without Varys, and Jamie is bland now. So yeah, I would love the level that it used to be, but as it is now, I would agree with you that they should just get to where they are going. BUT IMO that means focusing on the meat of the story and not spending 10mins with Jorah and Sam.
I was just listening to a podcast and they made the point that at the beginning of this project the showrunners signed on for making an adaptation of a book series and then over time had to find a way to basically write said book series, and you are starting to see the cracks as they have to do their own thing with the story. I know we don't like to mention those things, but I don't think it was a coincidence that the unevenness starts showing as they run out of core material to lean on.
