Reminded me of Breaking Bad. Definitely out of place in GoT
Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended
- Thread starter ha_rooney
- Start date
Complete waste of a scene and seemed more like some hipster HBO exec trying to be edgy than anything relevant to the plot
Was a very well-edited and funny sequence in my opinion. Don't know why you're getting so worked up about it.
I was literally about to post something similar. Absolutely fine scene and gave an update to what Sam's life had been like since he got there. A similar one was used in this weeks Preacher, and that one I did find annoying because it went on for far to long and was just them literally repeating shots. So stop getting your knickers in a twist.
I don't tend to overanalyse this series in that regard but now that I suppose I finally have the bug for the show, I have to say I find your take spot on. Although I'd add that the Greyjoy scene seemed fairly out of place too, suddenly he's traveled across the seas, arrives for 5 minutes and then departs again? Felt out of place for me
Nausea was beginning to take hold watching the Samwell segment but well played
I liked the Jon & Sansa exchanges, a treat from a fan perspective to see the Stark family reunited - Bran soon enough too
The opening scene was brilliant. Giant whitewalkers?

They're running out of money and they need to stay in power in order to retain any credibility they have left. Keep also in mind that Casterly Rock doesn't produce anything, there's no kind of agriculture or livestock there. Here's the clip:
As for Daenerys, she's had financial issues throughout the series (see the way she got the Unsullied). That's where Tyrion can play a big role. Last season he convinced her to create an alliance with Yara and use her ships. We also know that Houses Tyrell and Martell are backing her:
I'd be surprised if
Arya didn't slaughter them all after they tried to rape her.

Ed Sheeran closed his twitter because he got abused by people ??? People are fecking weird
He appears to be an easy target. I suspect for any celeb, a twitter account can be a tricky endeavour
The one with ed sheeren?
I'm just guessing here but maybe it's because it breaks the fourth wall and this is a fantasy show - not reality tv.
It was so cringy - got is so epic - no need for rubbish like that
Weird indeed kouroux. People need lives.
pretty sure he meant the shit-book-shit montage.
I agree with @noodlehair about the last scene with Deneyris. Her whole story is quite cheesy to be honest. Real steriotypical Hollywood hero stuff with that tune blaring out everytime she has a moment of strength/achievement.
Also don't like the greyjoy one bit. He's nowhere near as interesting as he thinks is or the show is trying very hard to portray him as.
Loved the opening scene though. Best part of the episode for me. Rest was alright.

Wait, wasn't it shit - food - book - shit - food - book? Although at one point, food and shit got rather mixed up.
It really is fecked up
I can understand not liking the guy, or even hating him but to go on a site and actively participate in an insulting campain is sad.This...I thought it was pretty funny...
It's mind boggling. And the saddest part is, it's probably majority of adults doing it as wellIt really is fecked up
Anyway, not to derail this thread.
Started brilliantly. Faded very badly. 6/10 overall.
No, the Sam montage.
Yeah but what he doesn't know is the Nightking attacked Bran and the Cave is back in the middle.
Re-watched the episode, actually it was quite good. Didn't mind the Ed Sheeran bitt, don't know why people hate on him. The Sam bit dragged though.
that is awful, leave and never come back.
like I've said already - for me I hated it because it broke the fourth wall and GOT is a fantasy show... not reality tv.
It doesn't need cameos like that - makes it less serious and cringy
The Lannister armour looks great.
Just make him a white walker. Easy.
My problem is how obvious it was. There's been lots of cameos in GoT before but nothing that had the person fill up the entire shot. I don't think that he was bad though, to be honest.

Interesting article on Arya being overpowered based on what we saw in the first episode. Kinda agree with it.

Yeah to be honest Deneyris is my least favourite character because she makes no sense.
The series is full of these strong woman characters, but the rest of them are actually shown to be strong. Deneyris constantly looks petrified and unsure of everything, has to surround herself with people who tell her what to do all the time, then still manages to constantly feck it up, then falls out with them for dumb reasons or throws teenage style strops at them. The only thing that gives her strength any credibility is that she parades the dragons around, and even then she's spent most of the time either unable to control them or having them locked in a dungeon because she's scared of them. Sansa's character is what Deneyris should be really.
I don't mind the Greyjoy guy. I don't think it helped that he was just introduced out of nowhere with a fudged in back story, unlike all the other main characters who's character and story have been developed over time. When he first appeared I presumed it was some past character that I'd forgotten about. I think he can be redeemed though, and it'll be interesting to see what this "gift" is.
What I got from this scene was that the intention was to humanise the Lannister army and to also enforce the idea that just because these men are fighting on behalf of the people Arya wants to kill, doesn't mean they want to. They have no other choice; it's either fight to protect the crown (whether they like the Queen or not) or die.
Constantly putting all these close ups on probably the least expressive actress of the bunch doesn't really help either.
Maybe cos Dany is a teenager?^^
Her rise makes sense to me. She went from being sold as a wife to an army leader, to taking over that army (kinda), giving 'birth' to dragons (having them stolen briefly), getting an actual army and needing counsel from others.
Shes finally home. Before it seemed like she wanted to come across cos it was her birth right. Now she wants to do things for the betterment for all (even if it means not everything will be agreed upon).
Had no issues with Sheeran being used, it was a shock cos i kinda forgot he was going to be in it. I think they could have been more downplayed over it however rather than just having to show him every second during the scene.
I dont think that will happen. Well not for that reason anyway.

It is sad. Ed Sheeran is one of the low key celebrities that has made good of his talent and yet people still despise him due to the high levels of jealousy ruling their minds.
How did bran get beyond the wall again? And where is that cave?
Bran met Samwell at the Nightfort (that was how they got over the wall).
Bran then went to Crasters Keep (they got captured and was able to escape when Jon attacked it).
The 3 eyed raven cave isn't marked on any map i've seen. Just a rough estimate and they have it roughly between Crasters Keep and the Fist of the First Men (that was the place where Sam found the Dragon Glass).
So the White Walker Army is a long way from the east shore. But then the last time we had a confirmed sighting was at the 3 Eyed Raven cave and that was Season 6 episode 5. So they've had 6 episodes to march back to the coast I guess.

So the White Walkers' route is all over the place if they're heading for the east coast again. Doesn't make much sense but anyway...

Think you're reading too much into that personally. They'll show up wherever the plot needs them to.
It's also weird because every character on the show is portrayed by an actor. Some are/were unknown before GOT. Others were already famous. But somehow this particular person somehow crosses the line.
I find the map to be very inconsistent with the story. The timeline of the show doesn't reflect the scale of the map, the location of key cities doesn't make sense geopolitically, and the map itself doesn't make sense geographically. It's an ugly clusterfeck.
But hey, the biggest fantasy story ever told, so who cares?

Anybody else ever load up one of these after an episode to get your bearings?
