I love the books, and wondered whether anyone was watching the HBO series.
Really? Not a single important character dies and we don't actually learn anything new plot-wise.I needed 30 minutes recovery after the battle at Hardhome. Truly jaw dropping. Have seen the last 20 minutes 3 different times so far. It's right up there with The Red Wedding in terms of emotional impact IMO.
YeapStill not as annoying as Arya's ''Oysters, clams and cockles'' though, I want to cut my ears off whenever she screams that.
The Night's Watch oath said:Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death...
+1. This serves an obvious reason: the show's telling you: "root for Dany or fuck off, because there's no other way" even if she sucks too (oops, I left Tyrion, Jorah, Missandei and Daario to die in the Pit, bad Dany, what is consistency? also, where the fuck is Grey Worm?). We get a fanatic, homicidal Stannis instead of the pragmatic one and it's a shame. (also known as the real one, but, what is characterization? Characters are either black or white here. Stannis bad, Dany goooood. :lol: )Some characters die physically, he (Stannis) was just killed off psychologically. At best he plays a semi-important role for half a season now and then gets killed off.
Which probably means Dany's odds for winning the whole thing just dropped massively, which is bad development because I can seriously not stand her anymore. Gets away with murder (literally) every single episode.
Her character is still being shown as rather faultless - but for her erratic handling of her dragons, its too obvious she should get the throne. And kind of boring.If anything it was a very Game of Thrones-ian thing to do to assassinate Stannis's character this way. Some characters die physically, he was just killed off psychologically. At best he plays a semi-important role for half a season now and then gets killed off.
Which probably means Dany's odds for winning the whole thing just dropped massively, which is bad development because I can seriously not stand her anymore. Gets away with murder (literally) every single episode. The Sons of the Harpy possibly the most ineffective guerrilla force in the history of television. Also worst CGI of the show on that gay ass dragon flight.
But try telling that to Chico and the new fanboys. You'll get a handful :lol:I kind of dislike that they have completely moved away from what made the show great, which was the machinations between the families and the intrigues of characters like Varys and Littlefinger. We are moving ever closer to a dragons vs frozen zombies vs tree druid magic showdown, which I don't much care about to be honest.
