Annoyed we didn't get Margaery's Walk of Atonement.

If they filmed that, it would've been leaked from the set like Cersei's.

FWIW, good season so far except for the killing of all the wolves. Dicks. Although, I keep seeing how Rickon and his wolf may be decoys to take down Ramsay. So, we'll see. Shows a lot better when you have no emotional investment in it anymore.

I wish I could watch these Many Faced God scenes without interruption and maybe then I wouldn't be confused by 80% of them. Same thing goes for Bran's storyline with The Three Eyed Raven.

For Season 6, is the show pretty much beyond the original source material in the books?

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #3 on:** May 30, 2016, 02:55:24 PM »

From what I've heard people say, it's almost all pretty much past it. I think it's better because of it, seems more focused this season. I mean, still way too many characters and not enough time for storylines, but they've concentrated on Jon Snow/Sansa, the King's Landing stuff and Dany the most. Other stuff too, but fewer side stories.

Yup - and he looks like he's slimmed down, too. Good on him.

I'm glad Jon Snow is alive, but he's got to be the worst salesman in Westeros.

Ian McShane showing up makes me want to watch.

SCB · « **Reply #8 on:** June 07, 2016, 10:50:27 AM »

He'll be around for a while.

Apart from breaking down the front door to Winterfell, I gotta say, that Wildling giant was a NOT a game-day player. Definitely the LVP of the siege.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #10 on:** June 20, 2016, 07:18:41 AM »

So.....who's the big evil guy that's left? Nice to not have the show devoted to 100% misery anymore, but is Walder Frey coming back to watch his heirs be burned alive or something?

dam skippy · « **Reply #11 on:** June 20, 2016, 08:29:06 AM »

Dany may go big baddy

SCB · « **Reply #12 on:** June 20, 2016, 09:55:18 AM »

Cersei will go Mad King on everyone I predict and Jaime will have to execute her.

What kind of God would let that happen? The one we've got.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #13 on:** June 20, 2016, 11:39:54 AM »

I missed something, why is Jamie a cunt again and friends with the Freys?

SCB · « **Reply #14 on:** June 20, 2016, 12:07:29 PM »

He's more complex than just a pure cunt. The Freys are Lannister bannermen, so they're an alliance like the Starks and Lords of the Vale. He's doing what's best for his house.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #15 on:** June 20, 2016, 12:08:38 PM »

He will be dead before the series is out then. Him and Cersei can get beheaded together, that would fit nicely.

SCB · « **Reply #16 on:** June 20, 2016, 12:41:40 PM »

He'll probably die sacrificing himself for something good.

He's regressed on the show, but currently in the books he can't stand Cersei and is still on his redemption arc.

I know people loved the two battles last night, but I personally loved the exchanges between Dany and the Greyjoys.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #17 on:** June 20, 2016, 12:59:01 PM »

I loved the battles, but also still don't feel any emotional attachment. I just assume the worst and look surprised when it doesn't happen. I honestly figured Ramsay would win and be killed later on. Rickon dying means nothing, no investment in the character.

Dany's arc is pretty good because it doesn't always involve the worst case scenario. Her talks with Tyrion were also very enjoyable.

I very much enjoyed that exchange as well. Theon's sister (I should totally know her name) sounded much more like a true ruler in that conversation than just a great warrior in others.

The Mad Queen! Long May She Reign!

I thought Lyanna Mormont stole the entire season.

BlackLight · « **Reply #20 on:** June 27, 2016, 02:06:52 AM »

I'll say this for Cersei - she knows how to settle all family business.

Here I was worried that there would be too many loose ends to tie over the final thirteen or fourteen episodes. Now I'm almost worried they're going to have to stretch it out.

SCB · « **Reply #21 on:** June 27, 2016, 10:44:35 AM »

And that's why they call it King's Landing

First off, has this show ever looked or sounded this damn good? The cinematography and score were haunting and chilling.

I figured Cersei would attempt wildfire, didn't think she'd nuke and wipe out everybody. I loved it because that smug High Sparrow got obliterated, but then Margery and her line got wiped out as well and she never saw it coming, despite trying to play the long game.

Also Cersei destroying the evil nun, but then the Mountain came in to rape and torture her and I questioned myself again.

Loved Dany making Tyrion her Hand of the Queen.

Loved Varys walking in on the Dornish and the Queen of Thorns to join Dany's Rebellion just for pure vengeance.

Davos gave a great tongue lashing to Melissandre. It was a scene stealer, but might get overlooked in this epic episode.

Sawmill visiting the Citadel was just gorgeous. Again, has this show ever looked this good?

Didn't see Arya coming, but enjoyed it.

And WINTER IS HERE! Ned Stark told you bitches it was coming.

We finally get confirmation about Jon's parents. Loved the fade from the baby's face to current Jon.

Lyanna Mormont steals her scene again. That speech could have jump started my car.

Never cared for King Robb, maybe because I knew Red Wedding was coming, but this second King of the North moment felt much more genuine and powerful, even though he has a greater purpose than this.

Cerise's evil queen coronation was fantastic and fitting. Again, the score was chilling and haunting.

It's funny, both Jon and Cersei got crowned, but in the back you have Little Finger and Jaime in disapproval.

It's finally all coming together. Dany has the Dothraki, the Unsullied, The Martells, and the Tyrells all headed south with the Dragons. Jon has the North. Arya is nearby. Bran is nearby. Another Stark reunion coming if they survive long enough. And the white walkers are still coming.

Fantastic finale, really difficult to follow after last week, but they did it.

BlackLight · « **Reply #22 on:** June 27, 2016, 01:03:38 PM »

I think the extra 15 minutes they had for the episode really allowed them to pace things out nicely.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #23 on:** June 27, 2016, 11:48:03 PM »

Odd to say, but the show is so much better now that they basically stopped using GRRM's material and took it upon themselves to tell the story. It's paced better, has far less filler and is focused on storytelling rather than copout deaths because he couldn't find a good way to end the arc.

Show still had plenty of deaths, TONS of them actually, but they all meant something and fit in naturally, not just for shock value. To me, this was their best season and obviously the best finale as the show usually puts out their best for the 9th episode while the 10th is a wind down.
