I'm okay with Stannis burning Shireen. It's not like he did it on a whim, he was facing certain defeat and with the help of Mel and his wife, was convinced it would all be for nothing unless he sacrificed his otherwise mostly useless daughter. It was all or nothing for him. Plus I'm pretty confident it will all blow up in his face anyways.

Whatever. :yeshrug Maybe I'm just more forgiving than most, but the reaction from book readers just hammers in how disconnected I am from most of them. The whining after every episode is unbelievably tedious. At this point it would be nice if they'd just shut up about it and stick to the books.

Man I love Davos, books and show. Cunningham has really done a great job bringing him to life, and you can tell he loves the role; he doesn't have a whole lot of scenes but nails every one.

He's not my favorite character (that would be Tyrion and Arya) but he's in my top five. And if I could choose one person who gets to survive the series I'd pick him. Just go home to your wife n kids bro. Be safe and live out the rest of your days, far removed from war and politics.

I'll watch the episode later tonight.

I still believe Davos has an important role to play. His main man Stannis is fucked. Shireen, his only heir, is gone in the TV series, and will likely be gone soon in the books. What then, will be Lord Davos' purpose moving forward? To restore The King of the North, Rickon Stark, The Wild Wolf. 2obvious.

That was easily the worst "episode 9" of the series. Not terrible but overall it was too inconsistent for me to enjoy. Starting out with the ridiculous first scene: twenty men somehow infiltrating a 6000 man camp and burning every valuable item, including siege weapons? This is a perfect example of plot contrivances being used to force an end result. How do you get Stannis to a point where he's desperate enough to burn his daughter, an act he has outright refused to do while also affirming her position as his heir? Well, you get 20 men to burn all his resources, obviously. Sort of like how they turned elite Unsullied warriors into Storm Troopers earlier this season, or how the "best Ironborn soldiers" wound up running away from dogs last season.

I won't dwell on this (for now), but let's just say I did not like the burning scene. At all.

The Arya stuff was cool, you can tell they're going to basically be doing

Got to see more of Mace Tyrell, and perhaps a hint that he isn't the fool he presents himself as. I would have liked a scene between him and the banker.

Dorne continues to be a dumpster fire. They have one shot to fix it next week. We'll see if they do it...

speaking of which

ADWD

all the talk of the Dance Of Dragons really makes me reconsider the Aegon cut. Might they be setting the stage for it? Is Trystane someone else? I don't know but I'm very curious what they'll do.
[close]

Then the Dany stuff. Nope. That felt very Clone Wars-esque to me. A huge spectacle with very little tension. Worse yet,  the harpies basically turned the thing into a turn based RPG instead of just slaughtering Dany. Speaking of which, why were the harpies killing former slave owners? Anyway...

I'll forgive the CGI issue of Dany riding on the dragon. It's hard to pull that off. However I can't forgive the generally cheesy way in which the scene was set up, or dues ex dragona way in which he arrived. Just an odd decision, dramatics wise. Not a fan.

also: could have used Barristan there, to give us his badass scene in the pit. But nope...

I am NOT a book reader and I won't feign any expertise in terms of how dragons behave in this particular universe. But are Targaryens supposed to have some sort of psychic link with their dragons? Because it seemed like that's what they were doing. I'm not trying to pretend like I'm Nostradamus here, but when she grabbed Missandei's hand and closed her eyes I assumed a dragon would appear because it just kind of seemed to me like she was trying to telepathically summon her dragons. Or the show was trying to convey that her emotional state was so strong that her dragons would be able to sense that she was in danger. Like I said, I'm not even sure if that's a thing that dragons and/or the Targaryens are supposed to be able to do. But it seemed like the dragon was summoned and didn't just appear as a deus ex machina.

Different families have different abilities. Since the show has decided to divert, these are no longer spoilers, but Starks for instance have a line of Wargs. In the books, Bran, Arya, Jon, and possibly Robb are all Wargs who have a connection to their direwolf. They regular go in their wolf's skin. What separates Bran from the others is that he can do this with any being. The warging mostly comes in the form of dreams and a spiritual connection with their wolf.

By the same token, Targaryens have dreams of dragons, and can tame and ride their dragons. They are not the dragon equivalent of wargs, but they can tame them and tend to have fire-based immunity. So in a way, they do. But not like how you're thinking Stark children can.

I could be completely wrong about this, and if I am, someone correct me.

"Oh shit some dudes burned a few tents. I'm done for unless I burn my daughter alive as sacrifice."

That's not book complaints, that's just poor writing.

The showrunners have made some genuinely dumb choices this season, moreso than other seasons, but I say again: it's not a coincidence that the quality of the show took a hit when the quality of their source material (books 4&5) became shittier.

Dany's shit has always sucked, but the "don't forget about Drogon!" scenes didn't really add anything to his return.

There was certainly opportunity to improve upon the source material, especially if you're condensing most of AFFC and ADWD into a single season.

Yes, Targaryens can essentially bind to dragons. There is what seems like a psychic link between some and their dragons. Targaryen heirs were often given a dragon egg at birth, and they slept with the egg until it hatched. There are physical ways to train dragons, with food or whips, too.

I don't believe Dany summoned Drogon in the show though.

How so, when in the book Dany isn't even in danger* when Drogon arrives? Drogon shows up due to the noise/smell of the boar's blood and starts randomly wrecking shit. That's quite different from Drogon showing up right before Dany gets stabbed by harpies.

*someone tries to poison her at one point but Strong Belwas eats the food instead of her.

It's from the Mercy chapter, with Trant replacing Raff The Sweetling, who was a pedophile. Although you could argue that we're talking about a medieval society where there was no concept of teenage years. A 14 year old would be an adult.

Justified's second to last season was pretty off as well, but there were some extenuating circumstances.

Still I mean, its not like the Game of Thrones guys are working with grade A source material at this point. Its basically the sloppy remains of Books 4a and 4b and whatever material there is from book 4c.

For a TV show I thought the CGI was outstanding, and a lot of the episode took place in outside-locations which are filled with CG; especially in Arya's and Dany's locations. There is only so much you can do.

I'm happy with what we get.

After really enjoying the game of thrones books, needed some extra reading for plane and decided to try reading my second fantasy series (assuming you count GoT as fantasy, since some don't), picked up Sanderson's Mistborn book #1.  Hope it fills the GoT itch while waiting for book 6!

I think the arya scene is really well done, a good way to show she's not ready to be "no one".
Surprising then to see that the Dorne scene continued to be excrement. I mean really, it's almost like the producers were like "Bring your A game!" to the writers then added "But get that fanfic lady to write the dorne scenes."

IMO the best CGI is the architecture stuff. I love how they add towers and walls onto real life structures, it looks so natural. I remember the John Adams miniseries doing the same, and the company that did it ended up being hired for GoT S1; they've been doing CGI for the show since then.

Actual physical interaction between an actor and a CGI character is always hard, so I can't really fault the show for Dany/Drogon looking sorta like The Neverending Story. That's one of those things that can't really be achieved, especially on this budget. When I read that part in ADWD I figured it would be hard as fuck. That being said, Drogon is EASILY the best looking CGI character ever on a television show.

I think my main issue with how things played out is that two of the main threads here seemed poorly thought out. As viewers, we know that Jon was right to try to reach out to the wildlings given what they're up against, but in hindsight here it doesn't really make for great drama for me when you know that there was no other end to this. Sure, he's young and it might make sense in regards to him being naive and not really thinking things through. But "how do I convince the brothers of the watch to go for this?" and "what do I do if they aren't on board?" seem like obvious questions he seemingly never bothered to ask.

And Stannis. Jesus. I know he was distraught from murdering his own daughter, lost his wife, didn't have Melisandre with him, and lost half his army. But this was the guy who almost took King's Landing. He marched in there to lay siege to Winterfell and didn't even come close to winning that fight when his opponents said "fuck it," gave up their defensive advantage, and just met him in the open field. Stannis the Mannis indeed.

I haven't read the books, but I think it's interesting that Melisandre abandons one dying lead for another dying lead. I guess her heart is already set on whom to revive with her coocoo god.

If I wasn't 100% sure that the Red Beyotch would revive Jon I'd be pissed. More pissed than devestated, it kinda felt like they were trying to re-do the Red Wedding but there was really no build-up. "Hai Jon some dude said he saw your uncle." "OK where is- OH SHIT" *stab stab stab*

Excited for next season, especially Bran back in action.

Best part of the episode was Brienne taking Stannis' fucking head off for Renly. Take that, bitch. :ufup

The handling of Stannis' story was pure amateur hour. 20 men sneak into his camp and magically destroy all his resources without anyone hearing/seeing anything, thus resulting in him burning his daughter in a last ditch effort to survive the storm/hunger. The blood magic works but he loses half his army to desertion. Now he convienantally has no horses and thus no scouts to determine the enemy has left Winterfell and is planning to ambush him.

Are you serious?

I can totally buy that because Stannis has been a total goober this entire series. So glad he's finally dead.

I'm convinced the Dorne plot up and killed our girl Myrcella.
Script so bad it caught a body.

PD trying to act like Stannis wasn't just a loose end

:umad

Was hoping the episode would go past where it ended. Wonder if we'll get another season or another book first.

I kept hoping they'd handle his character better by allowing him to redeem himself. Just anything to justify all the camera time they've given him. But nope. Fart in the wind.

How many seasons can they wring out of Winds of Winter? 2?

Why even bother, they've surpassed the books at this point.
For all we know, next season Rickon can come back as a fucking jedi and Gandalf can tell the cunts out in Dorne to fuck off.

I mean whatever, they're probably already well aware of the direction the books are going/will end in. It's just a matter of them getting there by their own ideas or some loosely based off of what is supposed to happen.

Or fuck it, they could just do whatever they feel like. It really doesn't matter as it hasn't for pretty much this entire season.

I can't wait for Melisandre to birth a homunculi and then for Bran to warg into 1940s Germany.

This season was a low point, not just for the series, but TV in general.  :yeshrug
