Look at this filthy casual
This entire thread is a series of rants about what people wanted the show to be rather than talking about it on its own merits and goals. There's no point in engaging with the thread if you like the show.
This is very true.
And I'm not saying it as a diss to everyone here that are heavily disappointed with the show. For the third time of me saying it, I truly feel for those people; it must really be awful.
That said, the truth is that I thoroughly enjoyed the season so far. And not because I'm just looking for cheap entertainment without any intellectual qualities, as some people here so gracefully advance. But the fact that I like the GoT TV show shouldn't really matter that much in the end, because everybody has the right to his or her opinions. I just would have hopped that this thread was spacious enough to accommodate multiple types of conversation at a time. But as many people here seem to really enjoy snuffing the enjoyment other people may feel, it is obviously not the case.
For example, one of the many things I did earlier in my life was digital video compositing for TV and cinema. I would have loved to talk about the awesome achievement the GoT show is bringing to the table, especially with the latest episode. Unfortunately, the level of aggressivity in this thread kind of prevent any conversation beside the obvious "The TV show is trash compared with the books", and "D&D are trash".
And if someone responds with: "but this is the internet", I swear I won't be responsible for my actions.
Deep down I'm hoping dany's wish to break the wheel comes to, but I'm not sure how that happens. I see Sansa being the one that "sews" the country back together, she has ties in the riverlands, east, west (with tyrion), but not so much south of that. So I'm not sure how the reach and Dorne are reconciled.The Seven Kingdoms are fucked no matter which of the current main cast takes the throne. None of them would make for good rulers or hands. Tywin was probably the best chance the Westeros had, despite his accounting practices.
Ep 6: bran turns out to be an agent for the night king, transforms into the NK, resurrect all dead warriors, butchers everyone. EndEp 4 is post great war aftermath/gearing for Cersei.
Ep 5 is battle against cersei which gets won way too quickly and people complain
Ep 6 is conflict between Dany and Jon. Everyone complains about ending.

how will this thread ever recover without an alt-right troll having daily meltdowns over... people not liking a show as much them

Our expectations will be subverted and Cersei will slip on a banana peel next episode.
What was the dothraki looking up when they ran into the army of the dead about? Did they run into a wall of giants or something?

Even with dragons the Targaryens failed to conquer and hold Dorne. It wasn't till much later that Dorne joined through a marriage alliance. When Ellia and the babies were killed, they went back to not giving a fuck about the Seven Kingdoms. What is anyone going to do to them that dragons couldn't do?Deep down I'm hoping dany's wish to break the wheel comes to, but I'm not sure how that happens.

I've never read the books before, but I can definitely tell that the show is different from how it used to be. The most recent episode is most evident of the change.I would be curious how many people who have not read the books also subscribe to this.
They ran into a literal wall of zombies and I think that was a zombie giant at the forefrontWhat was the dothraki looking up when they ran into the army of the dead about? Did they run into a wall of giants or something?
Excuse me? I'm alt-right? What the fuck are you talking about?
Then why the fuck did you bring up Jorah dying you fucking dunce?
You're the big online tough guy who responded with "buddy" first, so it seems like you're the one getting triggered.
I'm not sure if it was a giant.Yeah you see a giant. Its basically like the Dothraki running into a fucking wall and coming to a full stop. I did only see one giant on the initial charge tho.
Pretty sure Dorne in the show consisted of the water gardens and the sand snakes, so the entire country has been decimated.Even with dragons the Targaryens failed to conquer and hold Dorne. It wasn't till much later that Dorne joined through a marriage alliance. When Ellia and the babies were killed, they went back to not giving a fuck about the Seven Kingdoms. What is anyone going to do to them that dragons couldn't do?

LOL. oh man
got it. sorry, thought you were serious lol
You're talking about Nana Ahai?Our expectations will be subverted and Cersei will slip on a banana peel next episode.
Buddy you showed your ass yesterday
Cute of you to go back and edit tho. Oh wait, sorry I used the word buddy again. Forgot you have like, a complex about that.
That reminds me of what the Night Kings actor posted on Twitter before Sundays episode, I can't see it happening now though.
Posting this here because I was typing it as the other thread got locked, but I still want to say it.
I've never read the books before, but I can definitely tell that the show is different from how it used to be. The most recent episode is most evident of the change.
In "old" GoT, the characters who were repeatedly shown to be in unsurvivable scenarios (Brienne, Jaime, etc., when the camera cuts to them several times as they're completely surrounded) would have actually been killed, rather than spared with plot armor. The story probably dictates that they had to survive Winterfell, but in the "old" show, the episode would have been written differently to put them in a situation they could actually get out of, rather than avoiding the consequences of their situation just because the story needed it. However, the show looks cooler and more flashy with them being in said unsurvivable scenario, which is how the show has been for some time now. Everything must usually have immediate appeal to the viewer now, story and logic be damned.

The thread isn't that bad. There's been plenty of good discussion in here, even if a lot of different opinions and interpretations (which should only make the discussion more interesting). Only the dumb snark and hostility is extra and we could do without them.Oh, I stand corrected! Didn't get a notification, thank you Morrigan. Maybe this thread isn't so bad. (I'm sincerely not being sarcastic)
I have news for you dude, people of all political alignments use the word "triggered". Someone who's spent his whole life working for liberal campaigns and documentaries doesn't suddenly become alt-right because they use it on a message board. You really are a complete fucking fool.

Umm, those posts make him Alt-Right? What the hell are you on? Get a grip, you're losing it.Buddy you showed your ass yesterday

I'm not sure if it was a giant.
Seemed to me more like a World War Z style SEA OF DEAD mob.
Just the pure density and numbers of the dead overwhelmed the warriors.
You criticise the Game of Thrones, you win or you die.Accusing someone of being alt-right with dubious evidence because they argued with you on a forum about a tv show is some real Cersei Lannister shit. High risk, high reward.
Let's see if it backfires.
If Jiggy is being inappropriate and accusatory, which I actually agree he is, use the report function. This isn't the first time you've resorted to name calling and I don't think that's appropriate either.
Tyrion is probably the number-one recipient of the Idiot Ball these past couple of seasons. If Tyrion's intellect was still at the level it was at in the GRRM seasons, I imagine the North/Targ coalition would've been able to wipe out all of their threats with no issue. It feels like they basically just needed to nerf him in order to nerf Dany and her army, which is a shame.

But most can separate the technical aspects of the episode, which were incredible (the tension, pacing, music, acting, etc) and the way D&D (mis)handled the WW arc. That's why the third option exists... I enjoyed the episode, but there are serious flaws that really detract from what the show is trying to accomplish at the end of the day.
looks like that post was deleted?Excuse me? I'm alt-right? What the fuck are you talking about?
You just called him alt-right. lolI see you insult people all the time for no real reason. When you use shitty terminology on top of it, then don't be upset when I make the comparison.
