    I thought it looked like Septa Mordane.

    I gave it 3. For production values, and a bit of the Jorah-Tyrion and Arya scenes. Not that they make a whole lot of sense as a whole.

    Double Post.

    What, are you PR department for HBO? You're regurgitating all the justifications they told us long ago. Which in face of the poor continuity, plothole issues, and cartoonish show characters, doesn't sound convincing. Why? Because you say so? Ever since i started watching, i though GoT prided itself in being an intelligent drama, suited to compete against the best TV (LOTR meets The Godfather, remember?). Now the show caters only to the lowest common denominator, some of whose examples are clearly in these boards.

    Bandwagon fallacy. People like ummester and Lady Lyanna would give them 1 each. D&D themselves, perhaps 2, by the looks of it. That tells us nothing.

    1) You can all be like "the last 2 books suck" all you want, that doesn't make it true. The fact is, some of you seem to have a hard time comprehending simple forum posts, so i think you might enjoy yourselves more by limiting your reading material to Cosmo, Esquire and the like. 2) All we need to do to discern that D&D view the viewers as morons is to point out things like having Sansa light a Bat Signal to Brienne. It's like, they draw their "original", "bold" ideas from an Elementary School class.

    Jesus, it's clear that i meant derailing in the "Rant and Rave" threads, not here. You're being dense on purpose, which is your specialty, apparently. Good night!

    Once again, you seem to keep missing that my latter comments are meant to be general, not only directed at you, even though i'm parodying you a bit. :lol: Anyway, i'm done addressing you for the time being, because we're going in circles. Same thing to you ummester: we've had the same discussions in the Rant & Rave threads, where you kept coming and coming and derailing repeatedly.

    Whenever someone points out a flaw in the show they are told "you kiss GRRM's ass 24/7". That is rich coming from people who do nothing but kiss D&D's asses. All I am saying is that the show lacks logic, coherence, substance, subtlety, respect for the viewer's intelligence, etc. You can call it streamlining or the inevitabilities of adaptation if you like, but the reality is that all they are doing is inventing characters and dumbed-down, idiotic fan fiction. That is not difficult to do, nor is it interesting to watch.

    Not only this, but the arguments they come up with to defend the show and attack the books, if not outright trollish or infantile ("you're a nerd", "butthurt purist", "reading sucks"), sound like amateurish logic contortionism or OTOH, the kind of explanations that kids improvised in school when the teacher inquired them and they hadn't studied one bit. Lovely Lyanna's rant is a perfect example of the latter, i think.
  11. Fjordgazer
    Anyway, eventually i'll stop raging on the show in this thread, because D&D fanboyism annoys me (and i say this as someone who kept promoting the show to friends up to this season's debut) but it won't be because you order me to.
  12. Fjordgazer
    "You're pathetic" is not exactly the same as "that behavior you displayed is pathetic": :rolleyes: I guess "reading comprehension" isn't really your forte. Not surprising at all.
  13. Fjordgazer
    More drivel. Sorry. What you're saying here doesn't make any sense. Perhaps mixing up "world building" with lists of genealogy Bible style? WTH? Faster and immediate? Sure. Where did they leave coherent and logical? In season 2? :lol: Sure, it's quite the effort to produce a show this size, compared to only writing. Perhaps they should delegate one or the other, because the quality of the product has nosedived. It surely looks like they're worn out and want to rush things so they can move on to less tiring endeavors.
  14. Fjordgazer
    Please define "attack", Mr. Show Shill; i may be wrong, but i reckon it has something to do with name-calling, something StepStark hasn't done, unlike you. Sorry, but you lot seem to get the wrong idea. The one thread where we can't touch you is the "Positive Nitpicking thread", the one where you can't touch us (as it happens, some shills are so immature that they do go anyway to bust our balls) is "Rant and Rave". This is a discussion thread. If you think we're wrong, by all means address our points and stop whining for our presence.
  15. Fjordgazer
    We can complain wherever we want as long as we abide the rules of the forum. This is a discussion thread. If you want to discuss to counter our whines, by all means do it. What does all that drivel even means? Whatever the case lady, stop speaking for all of us with your "he invents more and more characters that no one cares about". Geeze, show shills are seriously full of themselves.
  16. Fjordgazer
    Shush! Stop speaking some sense! The show shills will come in packs to call you butthurt book purist, even though we've all criticized the show based on its own merits, and not on what they have or haven't cut. It's like trying to talk to PUA shills.
  17. Fjordgazer
    I agree that the amount of cliffhangers is somewhat tricky, that's an objective criticism. But poorly written, terrible pacing and plot decisions? That sounds like the show, not the books.
  18. Fjordgazer
    Not the same actor, not the same body type even. Unless he's become a Faceless Man (who in the show, stupidly, change bodies as well), then it's a rotund no.
  19. Fjordgazer
    Cladinator is absolutely right. Whatever "nothing" you say there is in AFFC/ADWD, it's 100 times better than D&D's horrid fanfic, where characters make no sense and behave out of the blue. BATSIGNAL FOR BRIENNE. Seriously, what kind of morons are these showrunners catering to? Although by the response some book-readers make, i guess they know their trade :rolleyes:
  20. Fjordgazer
    That's a pretty natural conclusion for a show-only person. But it's rather complex, relatively. Loras is just Marge's gay brother, nothing more.
  21. Fjordgazer
    Funny enough, some D&D shill last week was defending Loras' characterization because they included "his badass fighting skills". Well, he forgot to bring them from season 2, because he went with the Faith Talibans like a sheep instead of "fighting like a badass", as his book character would've done. I gave it a 3. 1 for production values, 1 for Stannis-Shereen, 1 for Larry Lannister stopping a sword with his golden hand.
  22. Fjordgazer
    She's been known by her rash and sometimes bad decision-making, both in books and show, but executing a freedman in front of a crowd of fellow freedmen, for the crime of making justice by his own hand and defending all that Dany stood for in the first place? I mean, who the f*ck among show-only watchers is going to deem her anything less than stupid and square-minded? If they wanted to draw a parallel between the Mad King and her (hence Barristan's dialogue later), fine. But she's gone too far into Stannis' brand of justice, without Stannis' background.
  23. Fjordgazer
    There's a lot i could talk about on the episode, but i just want to go out of my way to state that, as weird as it may be, they've managed to make Brienne/Pod duo even MORE boring than in the books. Brienne's AFFC storyline was supposedly so dull because we knew she was in an impossible mission, well, she's now run into both Stark girls and her failure doesn't feel more narratively satisfying. We know where she's going now, but i have no idea how they will use her. 6/10

    I still don't f*cking know how to do spoiler tags. Can someone enlighten me?
