  1. i think that would be my complaint too. i liked the journey but at the end i was all, "that was it?"
  2. Decent. Maybe a 7. Very first episode but at least they cut out arts and bran. Felt it. Was a huge mistake to order Santa story the way they did. Unsullied should have been introduced and solved in one episode. Barristan into felt like interlude and looked unrealistic
  3. awesome. did some poking out. found an interview where kay says it takes place in china, about 350-400 years after Under Heaven, but is unrelated otherwise.
  4. a million out of ten. amazing in every aspect. just well crafted television. may be one of my favorite episodes of anything, ever,
  5. well, they changed it to many scenes of jon marching through the snow. in the book, jon and halfhand were being chased by wildlings, coming up with different strategies to elude them. what the show gave us instead was jon wlaking through the snow with ygritte i think most complaints are not about stuff being changed. its about stuff that doesnt work. and really a lot stuff thats new hasnt come together well. if you really want me to complain about a show ask me about the walking dead, and I've never read the source material there. I know they can't follow it exactly. I don't even want them too. I was hoping for many new scenes of Robb in the West(though those have been a disappointment) but I do expect scenes that are well thought out and executed.
  6. I worry about this too. Especially when whole characters are written out. Guess Shireen never becomes important. Can't wait till uproar when season 6 leaves out Young Griff entirely. But Jamie's redemption is still happening. It doesn't really start till book 3. Doesn't really start until he loses his hand. I have faith in that one. I know he mentions sleeping with her, that is how he knows the kids are of the right age. But the ages don't work. Book theon is 9 years older than book bran. 13 years older than book rickon. which is biologically possible, but doubt he had started sleeping with married women at the time
  7. wait, this was not a point in the books, unless theon fathered them when he was 9 and 11ish
  8. The best of the last few definitely, but mostly because of how spectacular every jamie scene was. jon's plotline is backfiring and really, I don't see how he can like Ygritte the way they have done her character
  9. agreed. there are good changes and bad changes. the last few weeks have had some mindboggling decisions. what they've done with robb and jon have kinda robbed their characters of what was good about them. in the book, robb sacrificed his own honor to uphold that of another, after making a mistake in a moment on understandable weakness. now he's betraying his country because he's infatuated with a fieldhand. awesome. and oh god was that mob scene poorly done. walking dead bad.
  10. Robb's character butchered? check jon snow's character butchered? check but umm we got another scene of tywin being oblivious. sooooo, let's just continue making plot decisions based on casting
  11. yeah, um, her list was pretty exclusive, than that one guy hits that random woman arya doesnt know and gets himself on the list? not the guy who had yoren killed in front of her. not the guy that killed lommy and laughed. that dude. and obviously, they do that so that she has a name to tell jaqen. some good stuff in this episode but a lot of of poor choices. stannis and renly being in the same spot suddenly with no explanation, davos needing to smuggle mel into the coast when stannis had clearly landed there in the middle of the day yesterday.
  12. Easily best of the season. for all of the reasons that have been mentioned. The scene which cuts the three tyrion conversations was fantastic. The one things that show the limitations of the project is that the running jokes are undercut by the fact that they are no longer running. Tyrion telling shagga to cut off pycelles manhood and feed it to the goats isn;t funny if we haven't heard shagga say it more than once. Lommy yielding is only funny if he keeps yielding, even in ridiculous situations.
  13. I liked this week a lot better than last week. People will complain about the unnecessary sex scene but the Dragonstone stuff was handled much better this week, and Theon and Arya both went on nice journeys, establishing the Iron Islands as a setting and a culture, and introducing us to the messiness that will become the riverlands. For now, I think they did a nice job with Gendry, and Lommy, and Hot Pie has been fantastic. And of course Saan, very well done there
  14. there will be a lot of character's that are from outside Westeros, that could be taken as Middle Eastern, South Asian or Mediterranean. I would hope that they would take advantage and cast them that way.
  15. If they want to avoid showing battle scenes, which is understandable, they missed a golden opportunity to reasonably skip a battle. After all, we only hear about Whispering Wood. I would have been happy, if we had simply heard about Whispering Wood. If maybe 30 seconds were cut from the drinking scene for someone to breathlessly explain to Catelyn when happened, before Jaime is revealed as a captive. Or the Tywin post-battle scene where he learns that Robb wasn't in command and was riding hard to Riverrun with most of his men. Yeah, it's about character, but how about they show how great a strategic move Robb made?
  16. pretty disappointed, other than the walder frey scene. not because they didn't show the battle, but because i don't see how someone who hasn't read would understand what happened with the battles. jaime was captured but how? they could have done better. I've been really happy with most of the episodes, but parts of this one lost me. A better dialogue between Tyrion and the messenger could have done wonders and made this episode the 10 I was expecting.
  17. hmm, trying out the first avatar
