I am totally willing to take show and books as totally different universes, but the problem isn't deviating from the books the problem is deviating from sanity, logic and good writing.

Ash Enshugar Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 You could say that the GoT porn parodies floating around have more internal consistency than the actual show. It's quite an accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruhail Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 HBO has really gone down the shitter: -Vinyl was a flop -T.Detective S2 was a critical failure and S3 might be cancelled - Leftovers (barf) -Boardwalk empire's last seasons were a disappointment -True Blood was trashy -Westworld is so fucked right now Am i missing anything?

Morgain Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Hmm humble theory. The point of the show is not to make a TV drama of Martin's books. Obviously that is a massive failure. The first few series were fairly good but only where they followed the books. The show just added cheap thrills on top (oh and some good design, back then). Here's the real secret deal. No real spoiler just fun. Spoiler Excerpts of the show are going to be remastered into expensive porn films. Wouldn't take much. Several parody versions will be brought out by HBO. Again wouldn't take much as the show is a parody of itself. Imagine 30 series of parody GoT - waaaay to go! Comic books with photos and speech bubbles will make a mint. Again wouldn't take much as the show already performs like a third rate comic. (Some comics are good stuff.) then there will be annual GoT festivals to show all the porn, and live theatre shows of it, workshops on how to write just like D&D YESSSSS, a brand of beer named after penises, and lots of jolly stuff going into the next milliennium. Practical workshops in how to masturbate and how to use bloodbags. Hell it might cure climate change, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Louis II (KLII) Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I have read all books, including Dunk and Egg etc. I don't think the show is as bad as being portrayed in the previous posts. Yes, it is a shame that they use some cookie cutter dialogue and some James Bond/Jack Bauer/McGaiver scenes... but is still pretty good. The things is, the core, which is Martin's story is so good that it takes a lot to destroy it. Some episodes are just awesome such as the red wedding, the Battle of BlackWater, The Door, Oberyn Vs Montain... and others a disaster such as most Sand Snakes scenes, Samsa's rape and Arya versus the Waif.

UGH! don't you understand.... Really though, your comment is brilliant, wonderful and sadly accurate. I will do my best to try to clear up the mysteries for you. Yes, the three things that can kill white walkers are dragon glass, valyrian steel and the bare hands of people who have no idea that they exist. It is possible that they will, on their way to the wall, run by the hound who will have a big bag of chicken and an axe. They will then cross paths with Gendry who is rowing a platform which contains the knights of the vale as he brings them to winterfell. They can all jump on and hitch a ride. Once they deal with ramsey and his 20 good and shirtless men they can all head to Mereen where Dany will be left with exactly 999 ships which is one ship short of what they need so Gendry's row boat will seal the deal. They can then go to the north and destroy the white walkers, row down the kings road to KL which should take about 25 minutes where the hound will challenge the mountain to a chicken eating contest that will decide the fate of the iron throne. So, ya know, plenty of sensible ways this can go. Yes, the hottest girl on the series who happens to be in love with the dickless wonder who somehow stopped having a personality (remember when he had a who can look the dumbest contest with daario?) when Dany left followed the "my character arc changes if I have a single dink" trope that helped theon go from being a castrated ptsd basket case to prince theon, almost as bad ass as his sister. The unfunny jokes were important because if they didn't tell those jokes Tyrion was going to tell them the history of cousin orson because he would be in positive danger of developing a character arc It is possible Blackfish is confusing Cat with Lysa. As we know from season 1, lysa also writes letters. Cat is more of a "i'll just go in person" kinda person. The things I do for love! I know that one! All deaths will now be off screen as d&d reserve the right to bring any character back to life with no change or consequence at any time. dick grabbing > asshole fingering tho Way to go grey worm. You were just snuck up on by an entire fucking armada. When did they get the matching sails made? I think the thing is there are going to be three armadas, all comprised of 1000 ships. ...after the big naval battle dany wins, somehow, and each navy is left with 333 ships. That is only 999 and she needs 1000. Enter gendry. ROW BOAT! He almost certainly has the knights of the vale, the hound, 2 dozen chickens, the bwb and they are all ready to go to winterfell where sansa will command the forces after she once again explains to Jon that getting doggy style on her wedding night was much worse than fleeing a coup of the nights watch north of the wall, fighting an army of the undead including the ice zombie king, repelling a 100k man attack on the wall with 20 men, being fucking killed and then brought back to life....but yeah...doggy on the wedding night. Also tits probably. They went through all the trouble of getting matching sails. Trial to be held by the galactic senate presided over by jar jar IN the end everyone comes back. After dany wins the throne I have long predicted that they will go to the children of the forest moon of endor and dance around while the force ghosts of Robert, Ned and Jon Arryn (the later played by Hayden Chirstenseen) stand around and nod approvingly. Yes, but she finally escaped the faceless men. You know, the organization she travelled across the world for, begged to join, who fed her and housed her and trained her and gave her purpose and even helped her deal with the pain of everything she lost while repeatedly she fucked them over, screwed up their contracts, ignored their training points and constantly demanded promotions.....she totally escaped them. Milk of Poppy + Plot inconsistencies + girl power = awesome sauce (officially replaced valar morghulis) The show made me physically ill, but your comments made it a little better. That's flattering, thank you. I must say though, you are wrong about so many things. The knights of the Vale will most definitely use Littlefinger's private wormhole to teleport from the Vale to Winterfell. If you pay attention to details you will realize that Gendry's boat is actually transporting Varys from Meereen to King's Landing. It has been forshadowed three years ago that Gendry's final destination is King's Landing and with the Masters' fleet laying siege on the port of Meereen, Varys needed a boat sneaky enough to pass them unnoticed. If you pause the screen and take screen caps and download a photoshop app developed for MI6 with 500x zoom and sharpen tool, you will see that Gendry's boat is the same boat that Davos used to smuggle Melisandre in Renly's camp. It's no surprise Gendry smuggles Varys out of Meereen with yet the same boat. If you look at the details, it's all quite obvious, and the timeline adds up too. As for having a drink to experience rapid character development... How else do you expect the White Walkers to be defeated? They don't have enough Valyrian steel or dragonglass. After everybody returns to westeros, someone, quite possibly the Hot Pie will brew a superfood smoothie of Volantene ale, Imp's Delight, Milk of the poppy, chickens and bad pussy that will give every character the super power to kill White Walkers with their bare hands. You can't just expect them to use dragons, that's not what they are for. And come on, you don't believe that yourself. In the end everybody dies who doesn't have tits. Seven great women will rule the seven kingdoms. Daenerys, Sansa, Arya, Brienne, Yara, the Sandsnakes, Lyanna Mormont and Missandei from the Island of Nath. There will be peace and prosperity and puppies, everything they could have never achieved with men ruling the world. They will also reveal that Euron is Daario Naharis, Quaithe is Syrio Forel and Septa Lemore is Coldhands, along with R+E=J and N+A=D and Hot Pie Targaryen. 9 minutes ago, Cas Stark said: Maybe Bobcut arrived prior to the beginning of the 'go blind and get beaten with a stick' portion of the curriculum and she was grandfathered in. I guess making Arya blind was a specific punishment for her and not part of the regular training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the point of everybody's disappointment. Everybody here was a fan of the show at some point. When they ran out of source material they were left with just plot points and suddenly had to write the story on their own. That's when it turned to shit. They make nonsensical leaps just to hit plot points. They have destroyed almost every character just so they can hit the beats they have to hit. And when they are left to their own resources we get stuff like the Arya storyline, which was just absurd. Sorry but The Door was shit too. They killed a Direwolf to get to the backstory of a minor character that just happened to be a fan favorite. So they fucked up the story to pander to the fans. That's why we get an episode and a half dedicated to the hound. Minor character, fan favorite, pandering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't see that kind of a pattern. They had written some pretty fucked up episodes even when they had source material to rely on and they had written decent and good episodes when they didn't. I personally liked the first four episodes of this season and episode 6 too. I honestly have no idea who wrote the Arya plot for this season but it was outrageously dumb. And I'm someone who is a big advocate of the show. I agree the Door was crap, I did like the reveal about Hodor though and I'm sorry to be a mean bitch but I didn't give one crap about the direwolf. The first 50 minutes of the episode were ridiculously poor though. And I don't know how her character unfolds in the books, but I find myself hating Sansa almost as much as I hated her in season 1.

Nami Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Anyone else is also completely confused about the whole Arya arc conclusion? Jaqen tells her "now a girl is no one", what the fuck? Because she killed the Terminator girl now she's no one? She failed her previous assassination, he ordered her death, she killed her assassin so she passed the test of becoming no one? I thought becoming no one is about not having an identity. What was the point of her training? She didn't get any smarter and showed any amazing skills. After butchering her mission she was just walking around Braavos knowing she failed her test and the Terminator was going after her. I'm so confused. It's so badly written that one must think the writers are planning something but no, WYSIWYG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
