  1. It's funny how: "Dany as villain" (Which I have always thought since reading the books) has been rushed and screwed up Jamie's arc of redemption turned out to be a circle. Which at the last second was rushed and screwed up. Arya's arc of "If you want revenge, dig two graves" and learning that revenge means nothing was rushed and screwed up. Tyrion has zero arc. His journey to Statesman and hero and leader just STOPPED as soon as he reached Dany. I am still suspicious that his arc will really be THIRD DRAGON CHILD in the books. Bran literally does nothing. That isn't an Arc but that fancy Oroborus snake thing that means something but I don't know what. (like his plot) Sansa's arc of sweet summer child to cold ass dark queen, will only work if she ends up queen next week. Otherwise she has gone on an arc from shop floor cleaner to DEPUTY manager of the store. Cersei's arc is the most broken I feel. She is supposed to be a bit crap as queen. Her journey was all about her hateful ways leading naturally to her commupance. But then people liked her and D&D turned her into the Emperor from Star Wars. And didn't even give her a good emperors death! Sandor for some reason had a huge life changing moment (the religious group) then switched back to TV show favourite the Hound and did KEWL THINGS and then for some unknown reason arbitaritly decided his brother was his arch nemesis and committed suicide by going to his "final battle". The character as written does not need to commit suicide. In fact he has gained humanity and a bit of soul. It just doesn't make sense beyond "CLEGANEBOWL MUST HAPPEN." It's like the ultra loyal mountain and hound read the script before hand and knew they had to betray their master/die off before the last episode. It is like GRRM told D&D sort of the end state without nuance or logic... last week and they have 2 hours to get there. Each of these plots could have unfolded over many many weeks and closed ONE AT A TIME. I can't wait for Kevin J Andersons final book in the trilogy based off of GRRM's notes. There is a chance that rogue would do a terribly mediocre job... that's better than this one.
  2. Kit did not name the movies he would be working on (all actors would have that lined up explicitly and would be shilling that hard.) and he hates his hair... Yet it remains uncut. He got no leaving gift. No way he is not coming back. Would be cool if he misses season 6 though. (He won't.)
  3. I do laugh at book fans who complain about filler. //Descriptionsoffoodand400pagesoftravelogue.
  4. Saw episode just now. Brilliant! Moved to tears with Grenn, Pyp and Ygritte's death - And just realised I've been humming that bit of music since it must have appeared in season 3.. never knew where it was from till now! No need for Stannis till next week. It would have completely stole Jon Snows thunder, and also cut his suicide mission. Can't wait for next week. Loved the episode and noted how well directed it was. The action flowed naturally and "realistically". UKS P.S. I still don't get the Stannis fans. All the info we have on him really is through the POV of a lovely guy who thinks the sun shines out of his behind. Unreliable narrator perhaps? I
