Watching it again, actress playing Arya is fucking superb, when the undead start making an undead bridge she has a look to say ah fer fucks sake, 

mormonts triumphal death is spot on, she has been worthy of that since she came in.

some of the shots of the dragons in the distance across the sky remind me of some c17 paintings from around dante’s Inferno - proper boss, especially an early shot where they are scorching the earth with the colours of sunset.

When the undead were attacking danerys’ dragon again was like some 17th century depiction of hell.

Fiery tits was sublime as ever, and great to see her play a key role in guiding them through it.

hound is ace is as the everyman.

thanks fuck Jorah is dead, he is my fucking head in the pleading twat.

music was pretty good as well.

as epic battles go, I think it was pretty fucking good.

deffo worth a second watch to pick up

more of what is happening other than the initial spectacle of watching it first time.

After watching E3 again I've been thinking a a lot about some of the gripes, moans and complaints about GOT (myself included) and just think we are spoiled to fuck. 

 

Inthe past two decades we've had Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire, West Wing, Seinfeld, Curb, Deadwood, Mad Man, The Shield and these are just the ones I like so I imagine everyone could add to this.   Wherever you put them in terms of ratings these shows not just raised the bar but blasted it into orbit on what a good series should be. 

 

Going on about the dark, CGI, the budget characters not dying. It's like shagging Kelly Brook every night for a year then pulling the fittest bird in your work and moaning about her tits, just enjoy the ride. 

 

My days of Edgelording over minutia are over. Just going to enjoy the next few episodes.

I just put the sharpness and backlight too 100 on my tv and the episode looked amazing.

Good or not (or in this case, utter shut or not) is less subjective than whether somebody likes something or not. I don’t give a shit if somebody disliked Goodfellas, Godfather, Sopranos or whatever, but if they tell me how it’s utter shit and it’s poor acting and poor casting and poor direction, I’m probably going to give my opinion why I think that’s wrong.

Also the way people are turning on the show as a whole is ridiculous. But also indicative of how everything has to be the best thing ever or the worst thing ever in the social media era.

 

It was never as good as it was hyped to be at its peak, and that episode last week was nowhere near as flawed as people are making out.

I disagree with this mate. The show is now a completely different show to what it started out as. Even up to series 5 it was as it was. The last 2 series have gone totally west. I appreciate it can be down to character and plot development, but I preferred the first 5 series, first 4 for sure, so don’t see why people get annoyed when people point out the obvious changes in it all. If you like it you like it, if you don’t you don’t.

 

My favourite programme of all time is The Sopranos. I would have been pissed off and critical if Tony went straight in the last 2 seasons and started as an under cover vigilante bringing down the mob, with no context or back story around the new mob boss he’s hunting. That’s the Night’s King in this for me.

 

Again, just my opinion - not telling anyone they’re wrong. Apart from the ones who are wrong.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I agree individually the episodes have been an amazing spectacle but the whole story arch has been weak for a while. Starting with the fall of little finger for me. Still amazing though.

I was satisfied with what the avengers did with a three hour runtime, there's 4 hours left of game of thrones, so I'm hoping they'll do it justice.

What happens in last 3 episodes has been leaked and is all over Twitter.

 

What a cunt.

Hate shit like that. Fortunately I’m not on Twitter and only look in on certain accounts unlikely to spill the beans.

Amazon Germany responsible for episode leak this week and 2 weeks ago.

 

Fuck knows how the entire plot for this season got into the public domain.

 

HBO should have just released them all of them in one hit and saved all this fucking carnage.

The quality of something is completely subjective mate. It just is.

We’re on a discussion forum mate, it’d be pretty weird if people just replied to every opinion by saying it’s subjective and there is no right or wrong. 

 

“The Beatles didn’t have an ounce of musical talent”

 

”That’s your subjective opinion so fair enough”

 

“Midsomer murders is better than The Sopranos”

 

”That’s your subjective opinion so fair enough”

 

Just because something is your genuine opinion doesn’t meant you’re not wrong about it or that people can’t discuss it. Or argue about it.

I completely agree with that and I haven’t suggested that there’s a problem with debate. As I said earlier, people like different things so there’s bound to be debate and disagreement.

 

There’s a difference between that and what i’m saying though. If I see a post where someone says that x is shit because of y (like the two examples you used) then generally my response will be to scroll through it and debate something else because telling someone that their taste is wrong is just a complete and utter waste of time.

I don't agree. Whether you like something is subjective, whether something meets a certain criteria to be considered quality is much more of an objective measure. Otherwise people could just say that the quality of Messi is less than Susan Boyle when it comes to football. That's not a subjective thing, it can be measures with objective markers. For example, Messi plays football. 

 

BTW, I've got no real issue with somebody not liking it. I do have a bit of a mental dribble when somebody calls it utter shit or that the CGI is shit. All rational thought needs to be flushed down the loo at that point.
