Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 534

This season could have used an episode set in King's Landing before last night's episode. Get into Cersei's head, maybe as Arya/The Hound/Jamie come into King's Landing they can experience the citizens and they can be humanized beyond the surface texture of "women and children are dying". Maybe they don't mind that Cersei is queen, maybe they desperately want liberated, the psychology of the people would play even greater into Dany's deciding whether or not to go Mad Queen. It'd be all the more harrowing when she does, as much as I would have preferred another route for her character.

 

HIRE THIS MAN.

Or this season could have just used the correct number of episodes (as did last seasons) with an additional season after that to finish the story correctly :)

 

Or, instead of needing more episodes, they could have paced earlier seasons better

 

I feel like the entire show's focus on Jamie and Cersei's relationship spoke enough for their mentality of seeing each other as the entire world is burning and they know they are about to die.

The only thing left in the world which brought them both joy was their love for each other. Jamie, despite trying to leave her, came back for her and was just stabbed and bleeding out. His last act in this world was to try and save the woman he loves and their child. Unfortunately for them a character went mad due to Cersei and is now burning the entire city of our fear, rage, and revenge for the deaths of her friend, child, and family name. All stemming from Cersei. Now they see each other one last time before each die and hold onto each other last time as they meet their fate because it was all they had left.

I enjoyed how it came full circle. I don't think I needed Arya cutting her head off. She died from her own doing. The death was more tragic for Jamie: a character most actually liked and rooted for. He attempted to shake his love for Cersei but in the end could not. It was sad and in my minority opinion, well executed.

 

I JUST realized I meant Strax, thank you for still knowing what I meant. Lol. They’re basically just “The Mountain Without His Helmer” and then promo pics of him. I’m sure some with better context in the image itself will be coming. My immediate thoughts were him and obviously Vader as well, which I’ve also seen posted already.

 

From that AV club article regarding Cersei / Jaime that makes sense to me

 

As long as A kills D and S trips and breaks her neck walking to the thrown bequeathed to her by J and we fade to black I'm cool!

 

As someone who hS not really enjoyed (relatively speaking) the last 2 seasons last nights episode was excellent. I agree with some of the arc complaints (namely Jaimes, not so much Danys) but outside of that it was fantastic and enthralling television. Top ten episode imo

 

Definitely feel like A will want to kill D

 

I also felt like the Varys thing was rushed...just felt weird to keep him kicking around so long just to write the letter and get burned like that. The moment with T was nice, though. I'm glad that even though I'm not happy that T was reduced to another Dany apologist and fanboy, all of his scenes have proven pretty meaningful and well executed.

 

Man: Honorable

Woman: Mad crazy lady who burns children

 

Dats sexist.

 

I would like this too.

100000000000000000000000%

 

Thinking about how much better the Sopranos got the same message across now

 

If we used the pacing of the last two seasons all the way to the beginning I just don't think the show as a whole would be nearly as good tbh.

 

All that assassin training and Arya's plan was just going to be to walk up to Cersei's room with maybe the most conspicuous guy in the show. I'm still not sure why she turned away at the last minute, maybe she feared death in that moment? Then the girl who wizzed passed the white walkers and killed the biggest bad in the show can't stop falling down trying to run away.
But next week she'll be super bad ass and unstoppable again because the story will demand it.

 

YEAH CAUSE SHE'S THE BEST AND NO ONE ELSE MATTERS

 

Big shoutout to the D&D and staying true to the Dothraki, pillaging and raping cities. Dany hated it in season 1 but seems like she finally came around to it.

 

I’ll be spending all day refreshing gif searches for Cersei scooting by The Hound. I know I’m going to need it multiple times in this thread before this is all over.

 

Arya falling down actually bothered you?

 

That CleganeBowl is what happens when you don't have zombie fiction in your world. Sandor didn't even know you gotta get a zombie in the head to kill it

 

KFC did a commercial with Hodor parodying the hold the door thing lol

 

Waiting for someone to create a meme with Greyworm going on that massive kill streak, killtacular, killmanjaro. Etc.

 

I feel like someone could create a meme with Dany riding the dragon being US imperialism and Kings Landing being the US spreading democracy.

 

I can't speak from experience, but I would have to imagine trying to run through smoke while buildings are collapsing all around me might not be the smoothest marathon I run.

But I do agree with walking side by side with the Hound isn't the wisest plan to kill the Queen lol.
