i'm surprised at how the dragon cgi in that trailer looked pretty bad. i mean, it's obviously out of place because they're not real but it looked out of place and badly blended into the scenes

That Tyrion would give the assassin his own personal gold plated magic dagger of +5 damage to kids, makes so little sense that if anything it gives him extra exoneration points.

It was so long since I read the books that I remembered it as Lysa sending the assassin to give her nephew mercy and also align the Starks against the Lannisters.

I have to respect Catelyn's performance as she gradually realises how batshit her sister is. A woman who's letters she has gambled her whole family and kingdom on.

It's been established that Catelyn is an idiot. IF she wasn't then she'd know that.

She'd also remember that Tywin desperately wants a Valerian Steel sword for his house and so the odds of him allowing Tyrion to own a dagger of that material is absolute zero.

It is a plot so laughably dumb it's hard to believe anyone would've believed it.

I don't know how she would necessarily know that. I didn't particularly like the "Tywin wants a Valyrian steel sword" nugget, it seemed out of character for him and simultaneously I had a hard time believing the richest most powerful house in Westeros couldn't get his hands on one or a few daggers and melt them down.

To me, it doesn't seem true to the world, that Tywin Lannister couldn't get one if he really wanted one. There's the dagger, the random sellsword with one, the one Jorah leaves behind. They don't seem to be that rare, and people aren't that careful with them.

I get that "nobody would sell him one" it just feels like authors fiat rather than something organic to the world itself.

He could also have one stolen and melted down like he essentially does.

The one Jorah leaves behind was sent to the wall for Jeor.

Season 7 at least really toned down the nudity and rape right? I can't imagine watching like Sansa marriage funtimes or any of the earlier seasons with my coworkers.

Season 5 was uniquely miserable from start to finish. I don’t think there was a single plot line in that one that was any fun to watch. I mean, sure it gave us BAD POOSAY, but at what cost?

To anyone’s knowledge at least. I mean, Lena Headey had a stunt rear end for Cersei’s walk of shame, so you can’t even tell who’s nude on TV anymore thanks to modern visual effects wizardry.

All this gratuitous nudity would probably have been very handy in the 90s before the internet.

All it means to me now is like "well at least they have realistic bodies" and I have to respect that. They didn't bring in porn actresses to play the girls in the brothels. They just look like regular women.

Did Cercei really send a Lannister man to kill Tyrion while he was fighting off the Stannis attack or was this just another of those misunderstandings that drive these plots?

I think in the show Joffrey sends the goon to kill Tyrion during Blackwater, same with killing the rest of Robert's bastards, that's on him too. In the books Cersei's behind both plots.

And like I get the intention behind this but I never thought of Joffrey as a behind-the-scenes schemer. I'd have thought he'd just stand on the battlements screaming 'KILL HIM SER MANDON! KILL HIM NOW!'

Also I've hit the mid-point of season 4 in my rewatch. I forgot that this is the point at which a good 50% of the show is now fanfic/filler while entire plotlines are being skipped and compressed.

Seriously did we need to have the taking of Meereen happen mostly off camera so early on and dedicate two subsequent episodes to the Legend of Gin Alley?

Yeah true. But they portray the killing of the masters with one dude being trapped in an alley.

They could've just done a montage of scenes like that and it would've been more effective.

The actor choice for Ramsey was not even close to what I imagined. I imagined Ramsey as tall with sharp features. Not this round faced murderous Samwise Gamgee.

But I admit it works


Also Natalie Dormer's depiction of the smirking whore from Highgarden is done well. She got that smirk tuned to 11. Smirking her rear end off.

I had almost forgotten the part where Tywin forces Tyrion to marry Sansa. Even though Tyrion has pretty much been her honourable protector the entire time while asking nothing in return. Her response is still "ew but he's so short and ugly. My life is literally over!"

Sansa is an infuriatingly horrible person.

Yeah how dare she not be grateful for being forced into marriage and (as far as she knows) forced to gently caress a guy twice her age who she has no interest in.

Once she realises Tyrion's not going to rape her she's way, way more cool with the whole thing.
