Throne of Games

[badfo]

Too much Jon Snow is always a bad thing but at least he did something.
Glad we're out of the box.

[fallenchicken]

I think Jon's been good this year.

Or at least the people around him have been good this year. Tough to tell. Davos and Stannis and lizard-face girl pick up a lot of slack.

Dany once again shows everyone her incompetence and pays the price for it

[Pewps]

The wheels are finally starting to turn

Dany is still a fucking moron

[badfo]

In Pakistan we had servants who did this. It wasn't a big deal, we didn't pay them very much and they were very happy.

[fallenchicken]

I sleep dick up.

[Grommok]

Never cared for the Sons of the Harpy in the books, but now they have cool masks and Dany is an even bigger retard, so I have to root for them.

So far, this season is just mediocre. Episodes aren't bad enough to be amusing, nor are they good. I wish they were worse, so I could laugh more.

[fallenchicken]

I liked dinero this ep. She's at her best when she's angry and speaking in a fake language. Feeding the featured extra to her dragons was a power move.

barristan: NO DANY YOU MUST GIVE FAIR TRIAL DONT BE EVIL

1 episode later

dany: LOL GONNA FEED U 2 MY CHILDREN, WELL MAYB NOT ALL OF U DONT WANNA SPOIL THEM ))))

[badfo]

If we had power rankings of characters Dinero would still be near the bottom.

[fallenchicken]

she'd be above ser barristan cause he in the ground lol

Most Improved Player:

Honorable Mention: Jon Snow (he's actually showing emotion? Doing things? He's had like a few different facial expressions this season!)

Most Underrated:
Roose Bolton--secretly the best bad guy in the show. Has admirably stepped up to fill Charles Dance's numbers.

Coolest scene--Tyrion and Ser Friend Zone rowing through the ruins of Baltimore; Stone Men; Final Scene where Ser Friendzone be like shiiiiiiiit.

Worst scene: Introduction of the Sand Snakes. Let's hope they get better. Because that was a rough introduction.

Most Shameless exposition: Little Finger violently whispering Rhagar and Lylanna gossip in the crypt.

I'd say this is my favorite first half of a season so far. Have been very entertained by all the episodes. Game of Thrones usually doesn't get good until the second half. I feel like this year each episode has been good and is pushing the story forward.

[Grommok]

Yeah, I cringed pretty hard at the Sand Snakes scene. Hey, sisters who've known me my entire life, let me monologue about my life you already know about.

Also Arianne and Victarion or riot.
Edit: Also Darkstar

[Sobchak]

Is this Missandei Grey Worm shit in the books? Does it have a purpose?

[Grommok]

No, it's a show thing.
Book readers despise it because they let out a ton of awesome stuff from the books but keep wasting our time with this pointless subplot. Also Missandei is only like 10 in the books.

[Pewps]

I doubt Victarion is going to make the cut, considering Euron hasn't even been shown. I want to be proven wrong.

This season has taken some pretty large divergences from the book. In the book, Jaime and Bronn never go to Dorne. In the books, Jaime goes off with Brienne to find Sansa. I don't think Bronn was mentioned ever again once he got his marriage to some lesser noble woman. I don't remember Sansa leaving for Winterfell, and I'm pretty sure she never leaves the one castle with the sky door. In the books, Tyrion is with a completely different cast of characters, though I can't really say I'll miss their disappearance.

I really don't like Jaime's development in the show. It still kind of paints him as being in love with his sister which by this time in the books, he did not care for her at all.

[badfo]

Worst episode of the season I think. Sand snakes feel overacted.

I really don't understand why that needed to happen.

[Pewps]

Parts I liked: Arya, Tyrion/Jorah, Jaime/Bronn

Parts I didn't like: Cersei/Tyrells, Sansa

Sandsnakes really are just bad. I like the black guy with the poleaxe and I really like Doran Martell. I'm getting afraid something is going to happen to Bronn.

I guess I was kind of expecting that ending to happen. I mean, he was bound to do something, I dunno. I don't get why people are surprised.

[badfo]

I'm not surprised it just seems unnecessary. What they wanted to accomplish didn't need to go that way.

[Pewps]

But if Ramsay doesn't mistreat her, she'd never put the candle in the window of that castle signalling that she wants to be rescued, which is where I'm assuming they're going with this

[badfo]

There are other ways to mistreat people, ones still cruel enough. I thought they would have Ramsay's side chicks do something.

Just seems like a case of going for shock value for shock value's sake, like they looked at this episode and thought it wasn't Game of Thrones enough.

[fallenchicken]

I liked Arya and Tyrion. The face wall scene was a really cool touch. I like pirates.

And...that's all I got to say about that.

[Sobchak]

Couldn't get over the convenience of Jaime/Bronn crossing paths with the Sandsnakes at that exact moment. I think Pewps is right that Bronn is going to get kilt since the whole point of this seems to be to keep him in the show, and he'd serve well as a late-season casualty.

I didn't mind the ending, if only because it seemed on par with Ramsay's sadistic shit.

[Grommok]

Am I the only one who's tired of not being able to see anything because 2 out of 3 scenes are way too fucking dark?

Edit: Jesus, I'd rather watch Kirk fight a Gorn than watch that Sand Snake fight again. That was hilariously bad.
