error303

6 from me. Lots of good setup, dialgoe, well acted and scripted, did all the essentials right, good adaptation and changes from book to show, and all that fun stuff. Really annoyed at how they glossed over the tacking of Mereen. Lots of setup spent on Greyworm rallying the slaves, sowing dissent, and all that, and then you get to see one guy in an empty ally attacked by maybe two dozen slaves and then cut to "Danny wins again!" Show me three days of chaos and madness in the streets. I hope they do the Seige better (and I think they will). Not to rehash the Jaime/Cersei "that scene", but if they wanted to make it rape, make it rape, as Jaime can totally be a character who does both really noble and really terrible things. If they don't want it to be rape, they really ought take a hard look at how it was directed, acted, and edited, because in no way does it come off as it's written in the book. But then if they do go with the Jaime is a really bad person and raped Cersei angle, it's so hard to have any other scene with those two characters together. Honestly, Cersei in both the book and the show would have her rapist dead in his sleep. That one scence just mucked up the character dynamics so bad for me. The whole "let's go murder some deserters because they might share information with some one who may or may already know (Mance being part of the Night's Watch and seemingly already knowing their rough numbers any) and may or may not murder them on sight anyway (as at that point the Wildling's probbalyhave a plan of attack and don't want to drag around prisonsers or take time for any fun intelligence gathering). It just seems like a totally boneheaded decision for Jon to make, even if he has some secret motivation to maybe perhaps luck in to finding Bran somewhere North of the wall. But, again, overly a solid episode, I like the off-book stuff and I think they did some good setup for coming episodes. Just three big pieces I didn't like and stuck in my head more than maybe they should be.
