They said they were out of story and barely had 1 more full season in them, we couldn't expect anything else.

Kind of surprised at how quiet it is here. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think this thread must have some sort of Guinness Book of World Records entry for low expectations.

and speaking of Tyrion, when he releases the dragons, i was wondering, is there another way in or out of that pyramid? because those dragons will no longer fit through the door.

the rope bridge scene with Euron & Balon was super cheesy imo.

I choked up a little during Cercei's reconciliation scene with Tomen. Not that Tomen's actor is that great but Leana just kills it without saying a word. You can tell that everything he's saying is exactly what she had hoped he would say. I've gotten so used to the good acting being interspersed with acting that's so bad it's spoof quality that I'm no longer shocked when it happens from scene to scene in GoT.

As for the dragons escaping, this is of particular interest to me. I think Dragon Tamer is my favorite chapter in the series. When I read it the first time (before reading through again after you introduced us to Preston's Dorne theories), I was SCREAMING at Quentyn's dumbass bros to THROW SOME FUCKING FOOD AT THE FUCKING DRAGONS because it's hard for them to breath fire on Quent if they're having a nice snack.

I found that chapter deeply satisfying because it was so realistic to me. Quentyn had the courage to put himself in that situation but he and his companions predictably froze up when confronted, face to face, with the enormity of what they had proposed to do. I really liked this scene with Dinklage despite all the nits we could pick.

Lena is one of my favorites on the show. She seems to have the Tom Cruise age-defiance fountain of youth thing going too. She has certainly aged backwards the past few years.

She is one of a few characters that is still selling in this season despite storyline fuckery abound. Jamie's interaction with the High Sparrow was complete contrived bullshit..

I don't know I thought Nikolaj was pretty convincing, it just stumbled at the end because he allowed himself to get worked up when he knew he had no tactical control of the situation. The appearance of the poor fellows should have amused him. If the scene had closed with him saying something like ...

"If you think these beggars with sticks will keep you alive one second longer than I decide, then you're a bigger fool than I could have imagined"

It would have been money.

It just wasn't classic Jamie. The writing faltered there...Jamie was out of character and looked hot headed and stupid as you just implied yourself.

The High sparrow delivered though.

[AenorVZ]

I guess I can't argue with you while agreeing with you.

Was really disappointed with how jon came back. We all knew Melisandre was gonna try, but I hoped she would fail and he would pull a Dany and rise up out of his funeral pyre and we'd eventually discover he was Targaryen (Lyanna + Rhaegar) and fulfilling that prophecy that they've been hinting about forever.

I thought it was fitting. Pre-nerf Jaime was pretty hot headed and stupid, and probably would have gone to town on the HS and his goons. However, his character seems to have grown a lot since then, and he also knows he is much less capable than he was before.

I think what we saw was him slipping back into his old ways a bit before eventually thinking better of it and backing down.

no it was a good scene, agreed. Cersei and Theon are probably (in my opinion) the best two actual actors on the show. the things they can express and make you feel without using any words are simply amazing. but still, how are the dragons gonna get out of the pyramid [You must be logged in to view images.
