Scrambled Aegon

I gave it a 1, but 1 is too high. How on Earth can anyone eat up this festering trash pile of a series? Sansa interrupting Edmure might be the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

This might be even worse than last week's. How did Drogon understand the symbolism of melting a chair? Why didn't Grey Worm kill Jon immediately? Why did Sansa interrupt Edmure? Why was anyone okay with her doing so? Why didn't the Iron Islands declare independence if it's that easy? Why didn't Dorne? How is Sam the Grand Maester? Why is Bronn the Master of Coin? Why was the first small council meeting a comic relief scene? Why bother showing Bran say he'll look for the dragon and then not do so? Who even called that meeting, if Grey Worm still has enough power to be holding prisoners? Why did Yohn Royce get a vote when Robin was right there? Why didn't Robin get a vote? Why did Brienne and Davos get votes? Why did the Unsullied just roll with what was being said? What happens to the remaining Dothraki, why weren't they pillaging and raping and avenging their khaleesi? Why even have a Night's Watch? What... the fuck.... was this? And the dialogue, oh my god. "How do you know it will be good?" "Because I know what good is." "You freed your brother, and committed treason." "Yes, I committed treason. And you slaughtered a city" -- how do people watch this? Like gee, thanks, characters, for just recounting facts in case I missed last week. Tyrion looking practically right at the camera and just lampshading the entire "We cheered for Dany before this" thing alol just.... absolute trash writing. The first like 15 minutes of Tyrion going through rubble were pretty solid and beautiful. Go figure that as soon as people started opening their mouths, the episode turned to absolute trash.

lol this fucking show

That Sansa's rape was apparent weeks ago doesn't make it any less awful and absurd. I don't even have any words anymore.

It's been about ten months by now, and I'm still raging over that Tyrion scene.

A good way to put it. Show-only people are probably freaking out right now. But that Tyrion/Tywin confrontation was.... so underwhelming and so rushed. It was the one thing I was certain they would nail, because it involves King's Landing and all their favorites. But instead... what was that?

No Tysha? What the fuck? lol.

Probably gonna give it a 9/10 (keeping with my "Blackwater is so far above everything else that I can't give anything else the same score as it" thing.)

:agree: :agree: :agree:

You pity me for having a different opinion than you do about an episode of television show..?

Generally a really good episode, but I'm upset enough about how much they inexplicably watered down the Eyrie scene that for now I'm giving it a 3. Maybe I'll get over it in the next week, but I doubt it.

I don't really mind the "Only Cat" -> "Your sister" change... but I was still really disappointed by that scene. It was so much more rushed compared to the books. We didn't get nearly as much of a freakout by Lysa, and that's what makes the scene so good in the books: You really think Lysa's about to murder Sansa, and then she's breaking down to Petyr. And then he calms her down, and the mood of the chapter starts to get less and less tense... and then it drops the bomb.

The incredibly elusive 9/10. The only reason it doesn't get a 10/10 is because it wasn't Blackwater. It was essentially a 10/10.

what the fuck was that jon arryn reveal

I'm torn. Most of the episode deserves a 9 or me... but Jaime turning into a rapist does not. I don't know how I'll reconcile the two and rate this one. I might have to see how they handle it in interviews and in next week's episode because apparently they didn't mean for it to come across the way it really, really did.
