Rant and Rave without Repercussion 2 [Book Spoilers]

Recommended Posts

Let's continue



To quote Ran:



The topic of the thread is discussing things you disliked about the episode. It is not a place to throw insults at one another or to act as if he normal rules of the forum do not apply. Discussion of why people disliked something is permitted, but remember the topic at hand -- this is not a debate thread, it's a discussion thread specifically about episode details or events that posters disliked.

I read the entire last thread (brava for keeping it going so long!) and came on here to add to your voices.



They ruined Stannis. And I've never liked the character.



They robbed Dany of one of her most triumphant character moments in the series; instead of protecting everyone from the wrath of Drogon, she sailed away on (a meek, pliable version of) him, essentially abandoning 'her children'. And all that without breaking a sweat!



At this point, this is a hate-watch fest. And like many others, I'm almost relieved it's gone so thoroughly, spectacularly off the rails: much easier to separate this hot mess from the books.

So, did anyone see this article?

I agree, extreme has to mean some violence, so maybe they kill Bronn and cut off Myrcella's ear?

I'm trying to think, what do we have for the finale?

For the Potatoes.

Walk of Shame.

Kill Trant.

Drogo and the Dothraki.

Sansa Bolton and evil Stannis.

Anything else? There isn't much time for a big Dorne reveal, but then the show has sucked at timing all year.

LOL No, I hadn't seen this particular article, but I did notice a link to an interview with one of the Snakes discussing more from them and the Pornish Plots in the finale. It was an interview with the actress who plays Nym. She seems really nice, I wish I could say the same on the story line.

GRRM made a "comment" about the Shireen burning

If I start to comment on what might or might not happen in scenes that I have not written yet, I will be "spoiling" my own books.

I have no further comment at this time.

Benioff is such a coward for making those comments. I have a feeling his relationship with George is over.

I'm guessing Myrcella loses half her hearing and Areo tests the sharpness of his axe on Tyene's bewbs?

I'm actually beginning to wonder if, for the sake of making that long forgotten prophecy from Mags to have any meaning, that perhaps they will kill off Myrcella? I am starting to feel that perhaps one of Cersei's kids go, and they, Dork&Dorkier, might not yet be willing to give up The Lannister/Tyrell throne bitchfest between Cer and Marg, sooooooooo.......that leaves Newcella?

Someone mentioned LOST in the last thread. Well, you know what? For all its (glaring) flaws, that show maintained its continuity far, far better. And it didn't have ready-made canon to look to. Hell, even their treatment of characters was far more mature, nuanced and respectful.

Agreed. Princess Toadstoolla may just have a shiny silk pink toetag by the end of this week's episode

If they kill Myrcella then what in the hell are they going to do w/Dorne for 2 more years and why send Tryst to KL?

For the Potatoes and Muh Parents

LOL, fixed one of them for ya. Wink, wink.

How about any death dealings from Marxist Varys?? Maybe that? I'm trying to think if we are forgetting anything else.

Is there anyone who actually likes the Dorne-story? To me it has been a complete mess right from the beginning, and I don't care if it has some bigger meaning later on, I don't want to see anything more from Dorne cause everything that happens there seems to live under a curse where it all automatically becomes so badly written that it makes me cringe. I mean, the sand snakes? They are RIDICULOUS! Remove them from the show, NOW! And the "jokes" and dialogues are on such a low level that I'm astonished that they keep making it through to the final version somehow. Ugh. It's just pure shit writing as well as directing.

Thank god there are all the exciting things going on in the north and kings landing, imagine a show where all we would get to follow is Arya and whatever boring things she does in Braavos, Daenerys in Mereen, and the 2cool4school-sand snakes aka the xena warrior princesses in Dorne. I have a feeling that the ratings would drop massively till the show in short time got canceled.
