In It For The Tank posted:Bit hard to justify getting rid of Stannis in order to thin the cast/plot because he goes nowhere when Season 5 saw the triumphant debut of the totally necessary Sand Snakes and Dorne. I wonder what essential storylines featuring the Sand Snakes are to come. None. They killed myrcella. Thy will be background noise in any future Dorne plots.

I don't see why people get upset about Brienne killing Stannis. It's fitting for her or Loras to be his final killer. Unless you want irony of some sort and Melisandre does it or something. But thematically it fits just fine.

Austrian mook posted:Because it's ridiculous for her to be present for the battle? She's just walking alone from Kings Landing all the way up to Winterfell for no reason and randomly is the only person to locate and find the king after a battle when every survivor on both sides should be hunting him down. How is that honestly any more ridiculous than her wandering the river lands for months. Or Sam brushing up against arya and bran. Or any of the other of completely ridiculous coincidences and occur in these novels.

I'm an unabashed show fanboy, preferring it over the books in so many ways at this point. I wish they had left the songs out. Hearing a mediocrely written line or two in text is one thing, having that translated into "a song" just makes me cringe to the point of physical illness.

Ague Proof posted:Its more like you're at a party and you tell everyone you have this awesome joke. So you begin to tell the joke and a man named Dave was about halfway through his workday when it dawned on him that it was his wife Kate’s birthday, and that he hadn’t bought her a present yet. Dave loved his wife and didn’t want to disappoint her, so he thought hard, trying to come up with a good idea for a gift. Soon it dawned on him that Kate had been hinting that she’d like to have a dog someday soon. She had always had dogs growing up and was disappointed that she couldn’t keep one at their old apartment. They had only recently bought a house with a sizable yard, one that was perfect for a dog or two. Dave couldn’t think of a better way to show his love for his wife than to come home today with a dog. After work Dave went to a nearby pet shop owned by a friend of his named Carlos. “Carlos, Kate wants a dog,” he said, “and today is her birthday. It’s kind of sudden, but do you have a really nice, friendly and attractive dog that she might like?” “I sure do,” said Carlos, who led Dave into the back of the store where there were a number of kennels, each containing a dog. Carlos led him all the way to the back of the room and pointed to a particular kennel. “Take a look,” said Carlos. Dave looked into the kennel and saw that inside was a young but grown dog with a coat that was a rich brown color. Most remarkably, Dave noticed that the dog’s coat was amazingly, fantastically, overwhelmingly shaggy. “That’s the shaggiest dog I have ever seen,” said Dave, amazed. “Yep,” said Carlos, “and he’s friendly, too.” Carlos opened the kennel and brought out the dog, who nuzzled against Dave and licked his hand. “I’ll take him,” said Dave. Half an hour later Dave’s car pulled up into the driveway of his home. Kate, who arrived home from work earlier, saw him coming and came out to greet him. When Dave opened the back door and let the dog out, Kate gasped with delight and ran to meet the new pet, who took to her immediately. “Happy birthday, Kate,” said Dave, kissing his wife on the cheek as she hugged the dog. “Thank you, baby,” she said. “He’s beautiful. I think he’s the shaggiest dog I’ve ever seen!” “I know!” said Dave. “That was the first thing I noticed about him.” image“I think he’s the shaggiest dog in the neighborhood,” said Kate. “We should show him to the Lassiters next door.” “Let’s do that now,” said Dave. He attached the leash he had bought on to the dog’s collar and the three of them walked next door and rang the doorbell of their next door neighbors, the Lassiters. Mr. Lassiter emerged. "Hey Dave, Kate,” said Mr. Lassiter. “What’s going on?” “We’d like you to meet the newest member of our family,” said Dave, who then pointed down to the dog. Mr. Lassiter was shocked. “Wow,” he said, “That’s the shaggiest dog I’ve ever seen!” “He certainly is shaggy,” said Kate. “I think this is the shaggiest dog in the entire city!” said Mr. Lassiter. “We should show this dog to the mayor! I’ll call my friend at city hall tonight!” Mr. Lassiter made the call, and his friend arranged for a meeting on the steps of city hall the next day during Dave’s Lunch break. The mayor was amazed and pleased with the dog. “That’s the shaggiest dog I’ve ever seen!” said the mayor. “Thank you,’ said Dave. “Why, I think it’s the shaggiest dog in the entire state! You should bring this dog to meet the governor! I’ll arrange it right away.” The mayor called the governor’s office and arranged a meeting for the following Saturday when the governor was in town. Dave brought the dog to the governor’s hotel and the state’s chief executive met him and the dog along with the mayor next to the hotel pool. “That’s the shaggiest dog I’ve ever laid eyes on!” exclaimed the governor. "He certainly is a shaggy dog,” said Dave. “I’ll say,” said the mayor. “This is easily the shaggiest dog in the state,” said the governor. “I think it may be the shaggiest dog in the entire country!” “Really?” said Dave. “Yes!” said the governor. “I think it’s time to take this dog to meet the President of the United States!” The governor’s office made the arrangements. Two weeks later Dave, Kate, the dog, the mayor and the governor flew to Washington, D.C. and arrived via taxi at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. An aide ushered them through the White House and into the Rose Garden, where they waited for the President. About an hour later, accompanied by the strains of “Hail to the Chief,” the President of the United States entered the Rose Garden. He shook hands with the governor, the mayor, Dave and Kate. “So is this the dog I’ve heard so much about?” asked the President. “Yes,” said Dave. The President reached down and petted the dog on the head. He looked at the dog closely. “This is the dog that you think is so shaggy?” said the President. “Yes,” said Dave, “Don’t you think he’s the shaggiest dog you’ve ever seen?” This year Ague Proof is a writer on the show.

They did get unlucky with growth spurts, same with Sophie Turner. It will be interesting to see Bran do some actual acting this year, if there is as much happening as it seems maybe we'll get to see if he's any good as an adult.

FourLeaf posted:I hate the way many people in this thread seem to agree that books 4 and 5 were pure poo poo. Even if the overall quality was lower, there were individual storylines in those books that were among the best in the series. Just off the top of my head, I found Bran incredibly dull until Book 5, when his chapters suddenly became super compelling. Reek/Theon was also great, and Cersei's chapters were spectacular when GRRM wasn't giving in to his obsession with "huge, dark nipples" or whatever the gently caress. The Walk of Shame was especially good. There are several cool things in both books. But they should have been half as long and been one book. If you read the internet re-ordering PDF, you'll still find yourself skipping large swaths of text that just doesn't matter and is boring as hell. So compared to the early books, which had boring poo poo but less of it, and more plot progression, they are a huge dip in quality, because we really aren't that much further two books in, and let's be honest, it's been 15 years now. If you make the reader wait that long for closure or progression, they are going to be harsher on what you release.

A Strange Aeon posted:What is valonqar? Don't remember that word from the books. It means brother, and eve book prophecy says the valonqar will kill her. She assumes it's tyrion but book readers theorize it will be Jaime. They don't address on the show that I can remember, in the books it's part ofbthebreason she's so paranoid after Joffrey dies. Lots of prophecy comes true in the books but the question becomes how much is self-fulfilling.

That was a great episode. The ending was awesome, and my wife and I both teared up. (I even knew what was going to happen). Kingsmoot was underfunded. Is it cheapness that keeps the crowds small for these scenes, or is it they are trying to minimize leaks? Either way, throw some CGI ironborn in there, make it look like a big crowd. Things we laughed at -- Brienne calling John brooding. Things we laughed harder at -- loving Tormund giving that look. Best episode of the season for me.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:It doesn't rule it out but it makes it less likely. They went from theoretically being their own race with their own culture and society to being a weaponized monster. Sure I guess they may have gone their own way somewhere along the line but the fact remains is that they were created to be monsters that want to kill men. They have no agency. of their own. They're now the Alien from Alien. Where is this theory from? Because everywhere in the books they are a boogeyman until we see proof of them, then they are just a bigger boogeyman. At what point did they have any "agency" or "culture" in the actual story?
