The show is still reasonably impressive as a production. If you'd told me even five years ago I'd ever see CG of that quality on TV, I'd have been pretty skeptical to say the least. But narratively it's middling to dogshit and has lost all respect for or faith in its audience.

Thanks to some saintly Reddit poster I don't need to count it up myself to tell you that there are 144 instances of the word "gently caress" in ASOIAF. I will agree that the general tone of dialogue has gotten more "modernized" as the show progresses though. We're not quite in "he's got my axe embedded in his nervous system", what-the-gently caress-were-they-thinking territory yet but it's definitely heading that direction.

I can think of LOTR, Goldeneye, Equilibrium, Patriot Games, and Black Death off the top of my head. Apparently, his character has died in about 1/3 of his movies.

Westeros is wayyyy bigger than Britain though which is why it's such a mess politically. It's a lot more like America in the sense that the continent will never be politically unified with the "medieval" type of society they have got, you basically need magic poo poo like dragons to accomplish it.

Aeron might as well not exist like Victarion, he has nothing in common with the book character but a name and a job. This episode was alright, albeit with a lot of the show's standing flaws like random expansions and collapses of time and space for plot convenience, wildly inconsistent treatment of women, generally terrible dramatic pacing. At this point they mostly seem focused on giving the actors chances to bounce off each other and creating a sumptuous visual experience, which is fine because they're not going to salvage the plot. I like that Jaime actually points out how terrible and stupid the strategic situation is at this point though it doesn't give me any hope that they will write it to make sense at all. I continue to feel that they missed a trick on Euron's character design, they are writing the character as this hilariously confident and rude Jack Sparrow type and the actor is almost up to it, but he just looks like a random tough in leather pants. The character is so over the top, they couldn't scare up a wig or an eyepatch for the guy? The poo poo montage was good stuff. Very Gurm They finally ponied up for an exterior shot of Dragonstone worth a drat -- was the big Valyrian dragon head always on the wall of Stannis' map room?

lezard_valeth posted:And a magic dragon horn, and a ship full of warlocks than can make his ships sail even when there is no wind and is the only named character that had the resources (be it gold, blood, or cake, I don't remember if it's ever made clear) to hire a Faceless Man to do his bidding. It's actually very unclear how he paid the faceless men to off Balon. I recall a theory that he paid them with a petrified dragon egg that he claims offhandedly to have thrown overboard at one point.

Gendry doesn't have any real claim to the throne. He's the low born bastard of four kings ago, like two people in the world know that, and he doesn't want to rule. As hilarious as it is that the writers forgot him on the boat, he is basically irrelevant to the plot and the only reason they would bring him back is if they want to do something else with king's blood magic.

Apoplexy posted:Theory goes: Blackfyres lose and their male line is extinguished with the death of Maelys the Monstrous at the Stepstones. A Blackfyre woman marries Illyrio Mopatis, whose son is masquerading as Aegon VI. Also, Varys is a Blackfyre descendant and that's why he shaves his head and is working with Illyrio so closely and confidently in getting Aegon the throne. Also why Varys' dick would have been useful to perform sorcery with.

kater posted:Was there a Marwyn-alike in the show that ran off to Dany when Sam showed up? Is she just going to be maesterless during her stay on abandoned island? Does Dany expect Tyrion to be able to reach the raven window? Who needs ravens when Euron can effortlessly sail from one side of Westeros to the other just to chat with Cersei? This is the kind of detail that the books are all about but the show doesn't care about in the slightest.

InFlames235 posted:There hasn't been a winter in like hundreds or thousands of years. That's not true at all. Westerosi seasons last years, not centuries. The summer during which the show starts had been going for nine years. Presumably it was winter right before that. e: even the nine year summer was considered to be unusually long.

InFlames235 posted:Oh ok. Well I dunno why they didn't do that in other winters. I guess the best explanation is that he was waiting to build a big enough army of the dead over a long period of time before attacking. My guess is that previous winters were too short for them to accomplish whatever they're trying to do, or alternatively that they were waiting for some necessary magical ingredient (Bran, dragons, whatever) to complete their plan. We don't really even know what they're trying to do apart from that it seems to entail a lot of people dying, so it's impossible to be sure.

I'm gonna say it again, the Euron actor is being sold short by the character design. He acts just about crazy enough for book Euron, but looks like a schmuck.

Emilia hasn't been THAT bad this season. Her general woodenness sort of works in her favor at this point, it makes the character seem like someone who has actually got a flat affect because she fulfilled her life's ambition and found it to be deeply unsatisfying. She was way worse for the last couple of seasons where she struggles to display any emotion while her kingdom, rule, and life are disintegrating.

Pac-Manioc Root posted:He probably realizes that it would sound terribly convenient to claim the king he killed right before opening the gates to his dad's army had it coming 'cause he was planning to do a real bad thing promise scout's honor. It's this. There is no one (noble) who could confirm his story and he is too proud to give the impression that he is coming up with an excuse for his deeds. He also feels deeply conflicted about breaking the oath he grew up thinking was the best poo poo in the entire world and doesn't want to drag it further through the mud than he already has.

IncendiaC posted:I think there's still plenty of good actors left but most of them are secondary characters who have to support bad/non-charismatic actors, plus they also have to deal with really poor writing/no direction. Dinklage isn't that good in this show. He has mostly been pretty middling right from the start, his accent sucks, and it feels to me like they cut his role down from the books because he has been phoning it in so hard.

Oliver Reed posted:The pacing this season is what's really bothering me more than anything else. I feel like certain things are moving slowly while others just happen because the plot demands it and they've got a checklist of poo poo to do before the series is through. We may complain about it here but upwards of 10 million people still watch every episode of the show, with all its problems. If they leave the showrunners in place and the mediocre level of quality is maintained, those 10 million people will still tune in. But they change showrunners and the show is still bad, now it's a disaster because now the new guys ruined the show. It would also probably be really bad publicity to get rid of D&D in the home stretch like this and would give the impression that HBO doesn't know what it's doing.

She's also the head of House Lannister and losing the ancestral home of your family is a big blow to anyone. I don't see how this is hard to follow. Dany's plan is idiotic because she doesn't need to gently caress around dealing symbolic blows, she could just wipe out her enemies with dragonfire and have done, not because there's anything innately wrong with the idea that losing Casterly Rock would hurt the Lannisters. It's like punching a guy in the nose when you have a gun to his head.

Solice Kirsk posted:I don't know. If a crazy woman with her own army just blew up a huge chunk of town and then said, "I'm queen" I don't think anyone would say otherwise. Seems pretty realistic to me. Also I'm pretty sure there is no more small council. Not the King's small council, but a Great Council. This is where they summon every lord of any note in the entirety of the Seven Kingdoms to discuss and vote on who should have the throne. It has happened a couple of times before under the Targaryens and it's rumored Rhaegar was going to attempt to call one over his dad's head to dethrone him for being nuts. However it obviously isn't going to happen at the moment because who would come to KL if Cersei's asking? She is just a usurper who has not bothered at all with any formalities.
