LazyBazooka Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Since when the fuck did the Boltons get so powerful? At the beginning of season 5, Roose was all like "oh woe is us my son, if the other houses rise up against us we're fucked" ("We don't have enough men to hold the North if the other Houses rise up against us. Do you understand that?" - Roose's exact words in the episode) then at the end they have a massive fucking army that roflstomps the greatest military commander in the world, Stannis Baratheon, and his army (after being weakened by their unstoppable 20 good guerillas), and now they're gonna slice through all the houses that are opposed to the Boltons and the wildlings (even though they have much greater numbers), until Littlefinger shows up.

Then I read your post ... why are they getting slaughtered? O right, all hail the Hero of the North! Maybe Batfinger is the Last Hero Reborn? Who knows? To make it more hugely dramatically satisfying! They have to be brought to the depths of hell each and every season, sometimes several times a season, for anything good to happen. And the good thing quickly turns out just as bad. LF as Hero of the North is not hugely dramatically satisfying, it's a sucker punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGimletEye Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 As soon as Fansa finds out LF helped to kill Ned, LF will say: "Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who. Our marriage is supposed to be a happy occasion. Don't think of it so much as losing a father, but gaining a husband." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Man, we need that Stephen Colbert emoji to be the sigil of House Rant and Rave Quote trying to be polite but worried that the elderly relative you're talking to is going to say something racist," or simply "elf exposing himself in the park." Exactly my feelings about GoT!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember who old is LF in the books. Early 30s, I think. But Gillen looks mid 40s, and Fansa's supposed to be what, 16? 17? Hard to keep track with all the inconsistent ages.

Le Cygne Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Ages are all out of whack in Westeros. I think the real problem is that she's a stand in for her mother, and she is not romantically attracted to him, either. Neither Sansa nor Cat want anything to do with LF. (Well, in addition to the fact that he's a psycho who has people tortured and killed because he wants political power and all...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's just that the idea of LF with Sansa gross me out so much, but you're right. Ages are all out of whack, and more, it doesn't matter really. Coz Rory is in his 40s too, and I'd like that.

Putting those inside jokes in their work. GOT actually starts to remind me of the revue done by some members of my faculty.That is also full of inside jokes (mocking some typical habits of the professors, jokes about the law, don't judge about the last one ). Things which are very funny for law students of our university but any outsider who watch this would probably think of 75% that this is completely not funny and nonsense. But then those revues are made for the law students and not the general audience (unlike GOT => what they are doing is just showing that they are petty and cannot handle any criticism while some of our professors are actually even participating ).

TepidHands Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 The worst part of this inside-joke stuff is there was plenty of stuff they could have "adapted" in place of the beetle scene AND including a familiar name from the book, perhaps MANDERLY? Instead of their buddy, the guy who wrote classics like "The Hangover III" and "The Identity Thief." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They brought her up multiple times in the first three seasons and then ... Nothing. Because they're meticulous storytellers, of course! I'm also really tired of the facile pseudo-philosophizing they do on the show. (Nothing is nothing, power is power, the entirety of that interminable beetles speech ...)

It was a little funny because it was just so ridiculous. Good writing ... not really (Okay to be honest, I just remember the tiger. Probably in some years, people will only remember from GOT the dragon or the boobs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
