Haha. I’m going to walk you out, hand in hand, to the middle ground one day mate.

[Bjornebye]

Danny is a proper cunt lately. John is turning into a fucking tetley tea-bag. 

 

Still can't believe anyone would shag Brienne of Tarth. I'd rather let the Hound bareback me.

Well, the illusion that the middle ground is anywhere near sensible isn’t my bag.

Thought it was brilliant myself. The tension in that last scene was mesmerising.

[Leyton388]

I see someone leaked the details of last night's episode before it was aired and it was bang on. They've also leaked what is supposedly the ending of the series.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Belting episode. Fantastic imo. Clearly leaning towards a Mad Queen situation. Varys and Tyrion plotting. Jamie's arc taking an unexpected twist.   Arya and the Hound's one way road trip  Cersei doubling down and the odds now even with the other dragon dead. 

[moof]

Yeah, it was great. I don’t buy the criticism that the acting and writing is terrible or anything close to that.

 

Jaime’s Heel turn had me in stitches. Jon pissed me off not petting ghost. Asshole. Although they set it up nicely for him to go north when all this bollocks is over. Daenerys is about to go full mad queen. Can’t wait to see how they resolve this. I’m sure whatever they do there’ll be plenty of disappointed people, unfortunately. I just intend to enjoy it for what it is

Yeah. Unreal stuff. 

[Brownie]

It was alright. Doesn’t feel the same to me and i’m not sure why.

[Remmie]

A bit unclear why Cersei hasn't fired 700 arrows into Tyrion and that tiny fucking army as well? 

 

Edit: I've reverted to nitpicking again as I loved the episode, so it's a bit unfair but fun. 

[rubble-rouser]

Last few minutes were excellent. The rest was quite good.

[3 Stacks]

They left a fucking Starbucks cup visible in one of the scenes. That says it all. They don't give a shit anymore and yeah, opinions and all that, but the story has objectively gone to shite.

 

I never used to be that guy, but there's so many things to criticize about this season so far plot-wise, it's crazy. Episode 2 was good, I loved it. The rest, while still very watchable tv on account of it being Game of Thrones, has been so disappointing. 

[aRdja]

Really good episode. A lot of enjoyable moments. Unsure why Sansa is so dead against Dany though. Has Dany ever done her wrong? Jon Snow needs to grow a pair too. Not sure why he felt so compelled to tell the others of his real identity if he didn’t really want the throne. Varys is a snake too.

You’ve have that over a threesome with Sansa and Cersei yer frigging deviant.

Anyone revealing spoiler on here before the program airs should be up for a lifetime ban, and a night with Stig... in the crypt.

[Captain Howdy]

Cersei’s going to win isn’t she?

Objectively, you say. What factual things are you talking about?

Nah, I felt the same. She could have won the war right there and then. But in general, a quality episode that was very GoT. 

[Aventus]

I probably preferred that episode over the other 3 so far, back to gaming for the throne instead of sulking in the snow. 

 

It does feel very rushed though, not necessarily just poor writing, but all the subtlety has gone out of the window because we're running out of episodes.

 

Danerys has been chilled out because she's had pretty much everything her own way so far, now at the first sign of adversity she's having a psychotic breakdown. Probably should have planted the "mad queen" seed a while ago. Instead this plot thread developed in the space of half an episode. 

 

Why the fuck would anyone trust Sansa to keep a secret? Ned didn't even tell his wife because he knows women have big gobs and love gossiping. 

 

Somebody needs to push Bran into the sea, the useless cunt.

I mean there's a long list but just for example because I don't have all day:

 

When the dragon gets shot and dies. Dany was flying overhead and could see everything below, yet Euron's fleet which is right fucking next to her in her line of sight somehow catches her by surprise. What was the explanation? Was she asleep, was she flying with her eyes closed, was she being pleasured by the scales of the dragon she was riding and was in a euphoric trance? No, somehow the explanation is worse than all of those. 

 

Apparently in the after the episodes commentary, one of the D's says "Dany forgets about Euron's fleet". That's how it happens, she forgets that one of her main enemies in the episode exists. That's the reasoning. And people are supposed to believe that? If that's not lazy and bad writing I don't know what is. Objectively shite.

I was wondering why she didn't loop around the back of the ships. They were all conveniently lined up next to each other and facing the same way. Would have been difficult for them to shoot backwards when all the guns are mounted on the front end.

You know, it never fails to surprise me that most people can’t grasp the difference between objective and subjective. That said, no matter how much people explain the finer points of American Football to me, I never grasp it. Same with effect vs affect. I think it’s due to caring. What you just said is your subjective opinion that something is bad and your reasoning for it.

I enjoyed that, more than the last episode. I prefer scenes with dialogue versus hollywood style action and this episide had plenty. I'm still a bit miffed with the lack of explanation about the WW and NK and the whole point of the cunt, and with the limited interaction with Bran, but overall it felt back on track. The Jamie and Brienne scenes were great as were Tyrion and Varys'. Dany is going to go full nutjob and Sansa/Arya will be ensuring she doesn't win, as will the cunt Cercei. Great stuff.
