  1. I think that's got to be it. Then we can slowly die waiting to see Tyrions next move. Or if the bolt actually hits. Wherever they pull the plug! They end episodes like the Sopranos ended the series except w credits and a next ep! I'm always faked out that it's ending until the last seconds and then scream, then credits!
  2. I win in the reader married to non reader bc husband said I thought something was supposed to happen with the dwarf. First episode he's displayed any comprehension.
  3. Hmmm.....guess their little plan to lower expectations to zero failed.
  4. Kudos for opening with the closest thing to a guy-oriented sex scene even at the Wall.
  5. I'm a big Stannis fan & don't think it was quite time for him. They stumbled through the battle, though. Did like the giants. Felt like a missed opportunity. I've watched BW several times - & not done - I don't think this was even close but will give it a second try. DRUMMMMMS!!!!!
  6. I do like what they've done with Thorne and if there's a baby Jesus, Slynt will get caught deserting.
  7. Riiiiight -- why? I guess that's why they didn't let them through later on. It was an error passed down over millennia. Books basically are a series of misunderstandings. Why did a lot if huge things happen? Bad assumptions, bad info, misunderstandings.
  8. I didn't like much about it. I thought it could have been a lot better. Just the basics: with the gate defended the battle was over. I liked the scythe given the climbers but would rather have had the turtle - suspense - the stair fire - and I can't even fathom how Pyp and Grenn became dispensable. I did like the desperate energy of the wildlings. Since the battle was just pointless anyway (the Wall was to protect all people against the White Walkers) at least the show could have made an awesome performance. I had a hard time figuring out where people were until I decided the elevator was actually a transporter. No Blackwater. 7
  9. He taunted a lot - staying just out of arms reach, well until he didn't. We are left with suspicions that Tywin was behind the murders, raised by the Martells, ie right where we started. Gregor was a tool - as was Lorch in the books.
  10. Who knows what D&D wanted to say? That said, I think there's more to it - illustrated by Jaime trying that interpretation and Tyrion shrugging it off. Tyrion has an insatiable curiosity and is smart but perhaps he's saying some things he just can't figure out and that's frightening. He will never see or understand some things that define some people. He can see some puzzles have answers that he will not be able to find. Or it was just a great meme, made more so by fake gravitas ;)
  11. Rewatched. Only Charles Dance could stand up and follow the head popping.
  12. I was a little surprised when Maisue Wlilliams said that about her character this season but dang she's right
  13. I liked the Behind the Scenes for the duel and impressed at the actors' skill. Did Pascal also do those big aerial jumps?
  14. The Hound is getting sick. She has the coin. She's near the East Coast just across from Braavos. Seems on track.
