  1. GOT’s season 6 averaged 25.7 million, so HOTD’s 25 million is not “slightly better.” Besides, most, if not all, of HOTD’s audience moved over from GOT, so it didn’t have to build its viewership from the ground up like GOT did. It’s not a fair comparison.
  2. Ramsey’s performance has been hit or miss for me. They have moments of brilliance, but there are times where their acting is weak. Some of it could be attributed to the writing, but that’s not always the case.
  3. Last episode was ok, but the Dina pregnancy reveal was terribly written. I love Ellie in the game, so I hate to say she’s the weakest link this season.
  4. That doesn’t make sense, because she has her own kills under her belt, so she doesn’t have to steal Joel’s valor. She could have told Dina about her actual second kill. A group of cannibals were going to chop her up and eat her, so she stuck a meat cleaver into one of their necks while they were distracted. I think it’s obvious what happened. In Game 1, there’s a similar scene of Ellie shooting a man to save Joel, only she actually shoots him, and in Game 2 she tells Dina about it. The writer of the episode clearly was adapting the dialogue from Game 2 forgetting that the scene had been changed and it no longer makes sense.
  5. I noticed a plot hole last episode. When Ellie was telling Dina about her second kill, she talked about shooting the guy who was trying to kill Joel in Kansas City. The problem is she didn’t kill him, she only wounded him. It was Joel who did the deed.
  6. Bran had a total of three POV chapters in the last two books. I don’t know how you can claim the books won’t neglect him when they already have.
  7. Martin was clearly struggling with his story long before the show finished, so the idea GOT’s ending has anything to do with the delay is ridiculous. Besides, I highly doubt a handful of whiners on the internet would deter Martin from writing the ending he wants.
  8. I guess I was wrong. There is bad blood between them.
  9. Yeah, but you have four events down as major set pieces. That’s half of the episodes. It seems a little high to me.
  10. I doubt they have the money for all that.
  11. Personally, I find the Martin/Condal “feud” overblown. Martin didn’t exactly go after the show hard. Out of all the problems in season 2 he could have addressed, he only mentioned a missing baby.
  12. Not always. There was no uplifting music when Arya killed Polliver and Trant, or when Jon killed Olly, Thorne, and the rest, or when Daenerys crucified the masters. It’s a moot point anyway because none of these actions compare to Daenerys slaughtering hundreds of thousands of civilians.
  13. No, Daenerys threatening to burn down cities and commit mass murder was in no way portrayed as a “queen empowerment” moment. Her fans may have interpreted it that way, but that has nothing to do with D&D or the writing of the show. I told you before, the only people who were surprised Daenerys burned down King’s Landing are those who didn’t take her threats seriously.
