Good stuff from GoT this week I thought, much more engaging. Still moving at snails pace though, on track to wrap it all up by season 30.

Reek, I'm surprised you think that it is moving at a snail's pace. Consider how quickly the following storylines are moving

Jamie's quest to reunite with his daughter/niece

Tyrion's journey to Khaleesi

Cersei losing her own game

The Littlefinger/Sansa/Ramsey situation

The speed at which all of these stories have evolved is almost dizzying, particularly relative to prior seasons. We are 7 episodes in. Something tells me that we are quickly moving towards a massive battle by episode 9, and Khaleesi will finally start thinking about heading west by episode 10.

And, Biggus, nothing wrong with Tyene Sands. Nothing at all.

None of that is moving quickly. Thats a recap of whats happened this season, thats over the space of 7 episodes. Whats more is very little of it is interesting. Jamies quest to Dorn (apparently just one big garden) is boring as shit. Ramsey is incredibly dull at this stage. Just the same sadistic shit time and time again.

Game of Thrones is ok but its the most overrated show on TV these days.

Shady

Daenerys. Her name is Daenerys.

Biggus

Yeah, and we saw more of Dorne when Jamie & Bronn arrived, its mostly desert with a few nice bits and the women are as hot as the climate.
The story needs a real cunt and Ramsey has taken over the Joffery role.

banduan

Bloke also looks a total cokehead.

Biggus

😆

Like Jackie Gleeson who played Joffery, Iwan Rheon who plays Ramsay looks a really nice guy.
Its testament to their acting skills that they have to be careful that the don't meet some nutter whose grip on reality in tenuous.....Heh heh I remember Lena Headey (who plays Cersei) saying she was confronted by an angry woman who hissed at her "I hate you you fucking bitch". 😆

😆

I quite like Cersei now, though I wouldn't mind seeing her suffer but would hate it if she were ever killed off.

Has anyone watched The Returned that started this year? I've watched its original Les Revenants when the first season came out in 2012 but they've somehow managed not to air/finish the production for the second season in 2015, would be interesting to hear if the American version is worth watching too.

Also how about a separate Game of Thrones thread?

Biggus

I think we tried that but obviously it involved discussion of the books and people were getting pissed at spoilers so here we are, you'll have to put up with us.

I haven't watched it but apparently its a badly acted shot for shot remake.

The Mr Robot pilot showed promise. Will continue watching it.

GOT with the customary epic episode 8. that last half hour was among the best the show has done

Armor

Looking forward to catching up on GoT. Only started it a few days ago. Will watch 3 or 4 a week and catch up just in time for the finale. I watched one a week for season 4 and found it boring.

It's actually episode 9 that's the customary epic episode.

Spoilers for previous seasons: Ned's death, Blackwater, The Red Wedding, battle on the wall, all episode 9s. Season 4 they did it in both episode 8 and 9, so hopefully the trend continues.

Anyway, this was an awesome episode.

Klaus

I thought this episode was pretty weak, but I despise the white walkers. They're Martin's worst invention by far. Jorah doesn't even compare.

Mirth

So the new season of GOT not the disappointment everyone making it out to be then?

Biggus

Certainly not, except for a few storylines they've pushed beyond the books now.

Qwiss

Finally a good GoT episode. Agree with Gaz, that last half hour was brilliant.

I'll remind everyone again that spoilers are against site rules and will result in a ban until at least the end of the GoT season, maybe longer.

goon

Great episode, particularly the end.

Asterix

Stampy the Giant was cool.

Shady

Really good episode.

I think the internet reaction is a bit ott though.

Kit Harington has really grown into his role as Jon Snow. One of the strongest actors on the show.
