MoIaF Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Unsurprisingly, all the Jon and all the Dany scenes. I looooooove that D+D got the issue of Aerys's "madness" out of the way. I think I will be willing to overlook anything because they did this. The closing track was amazing, I listened to it several times. Ramin Djawadi's work continues to be phenomenal. :agree: I've been listening to it too. It's so lovely. It's an upbeat version of the hauntingly beautiful track from last season when Dany locks up the other dragons: called Breaker Of Chains. I did not realize that. Thank you.

dsug Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Lenas acting in the scene with Jaime was on point, pure Cersei as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, it's just that people prefer to pester and bitch about everything rather than aknowledging the strong points, and there were quite a lot of those !

Ser Pounce FTW Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I enjoyed the episode a lot. Special shout outs to - Arya/Jaquen- Kevan putting Cersei in her place- Jon looking at the Lyanna Mormont's note to Stannis / Jon and Stannis' reaction to it- Gilly and Shireen. That girl makes everything beautiful. Which means she's doomed.- Dany and Drogon. Drogon makes everything beautiful. Which means he's doomed.

No the people in the negativity thread are just that more vocal and a lot more prolific. I swear the same 10 people had over 100 posts each in that thread on the first episode.

Ingelheim Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 The Wall and Mereen scenes seems to be the strongest arcs this year. Which is good, considering Daenerys and Jon are the main characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj4iy Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 You know the show creators are doing poor job, when Positive nitpicking thread is having this few replies... This is the norm here. This place is an echo chamber, and in no way an accurate depiction of the way the show is viewed by the majority of people who watch it. Also, as stated, most people in this thread post once or twice. A few people in the negativity thread go on and on and on. I know this thread will never be as 'popular' as the ranting thread, but I like for people to have a 'safe' place to express their positive views of the show without the need to defend themselves. I know from experience, it gets tiresome after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woman of War Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 People must have a really empty life if they rant and rave so much about something when they could simply stop wasting their time with it.I really enjoy the show despite having some problems. The main one being the characterization of Ellaria. Now they need a charismatic character leading the revenge fraction but it is sad that the same Ellaria cannot be the one to transfer one of the most important messages of the books as a whole: the futility of revenge. I just loved book Ellaria for it. But I so much love the altered story arc of Sansa. The actress would be totally off by now performing as little naive Sansa and adapting her arc to what the actress can give is simply reasonable, apart from being far more interesting.But frankly, and now I have to wallow in self pity a little, it is due to all that negativity in these forums that I start losing all interest in following debates here any longer. I am an artist myself and I first of all respect others' creative achievements, books and show. And then I try to criticize in a constructive manner. Are there only masochists around in these forums, chastising themselves via remote control, unable to switch off their tv set, compulsively watching the show as atonement for whatever sin? Well, my family, my friends and I watch the show for pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Envie Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Sometimes I wish I could be unspoiled for casting so the "Jaqen" reveal would have been a "woah" moment. But that's never going to happen! I'm not sure how I blessedly escaped being spoiled that Jaqen was cast for this season - but that was such an awesome moment for me - I literally jumped up out of my chair and did some fist pumping "YESS!" right there! I did avoid this forum and a lot of fan blogs for quite a few months before this season - being a Walking Dead fan helps fill the void! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj4iy Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Anyway, back on the subject...I really enjoyed the Lyanna Mormont but, as well. Stannis saying that fear makes men follow was a good one- very Stannis. Honestly, I think this season has the potential to be better than season 5.

The Unborn Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 You know the show creators are doing poor job, when Positive nitpicking thread is having this few replies... What are you expecting from a message board who wants nothing but word for word adaptation of the books? I personally quite like the show, even if sometimes they fail at some things (I really hate show Loras but whatever). What I liked : Kevan telling it like it is to Cersei (and the whole small council scene) Jon and Stannis's interractions Lyanna's note Shireen is a lovely girl The election scene with Sam (the whole scene) Bronn and Lollys Drogon ! The Jaqen reveal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
