The TV Thread (GoT spoilers)

I'm gonna say it, I think this could be pretty great.

Daz

Hope so. I really enjoyed the first season.

Burnwinter

Looks pretty great. Hope the success of the first season has meant Pizzolatto can pull out the stops a bit (though I hear the 'occult' elements are toned down, if anything).

This seems pretty exciting, for some reason even a bit more exciting than the first season because the cast intrigues me much more this time. With Harrelson, McConaughey and Monaghan there was really no doubt about what they can bring to the table. With the new season its much more exciting - Farrell i have always rated, but he has had his share of problems and hasnt exactly been starring in huge productions for a decade. Vaughn has done so many crappy comedies that his drama acting will probably surprise many people. McAdams looked really good in the trailer and im excited to see her in something else rather than a romantic (comedy) movie. Kelly Reilly is great actress as well.

Taylor Kitch is a good actor too when he's used right. From the trailer it looks like it might resurrect/kickstart a few careers. I expect McAdams to really break into more serious stuff from this.

Burnwinter

Pretty sure Vaughn will be good. First thing I ever saw him in was Clay Pigeons, and he was quality in that.

For The Watch :opti:

Lena Headey getting nekked 😃

shit finale. pretty much stopped caring about the show now

Jens

I'm in two minds about this episode. The way Stannis died was a predictable bullshit feelgood moment to pay off this god awful Brienne storyline. Dorne has been handled terribly all season, I'd like to think Myrcella dying will kick some life back into this "confilct" but I wouldn't bet on it. The Jon killing was done well though, so was the walk of atonement.

Overall I'm not sold on the show to bring this baby home. It's understandable they can't handle the scope of this giant world like the books, but it's getting too shallow now. Too many side plots are getting axed, too few avenues explored. Doran Martell turned out to be a snoozer, Grey Worm is fucking HORRIBLE. Barristan the Bold died and he survived, I'll never forgive the show for that.

cgi man, she's tatted up in real life.

and tyene sand with the quote of the season, pretty much summed up my woman problem.

Jens

Is there any way any of the three characters that died today are not actually dead?

After thinking about it Stannis is probably not dead. Myrcella is dead for sure, Jon aswell. A tiny chance he makes it but that would look silly after all those stabbings.

Mirth

Those utter. utter sadistic cunts. 🙁

Big Willie Champ

Fuck the Nights Watch. Other than Tyrion, Jon Snow was probably the last character on the show I liked that was still alive.

Of course! 😆
GRRM has actually said that in the world of Fire & Ice death is not always final, there are many theories abounding.

We just saw the mountain "reanimated" by Qyburn.
By "warging" into an animal or other human, (where the fuck is Ghost?)
By being turned into a White Walker (okay not much of a life but at least you get to travel and kill prople).
By being resurrected by R'hllor, the cunt owes big time for the sacrifice of Shireen and Melisandre is nearby.

I have to say that I think they made a balls of the recent series, they changed so much from the books and squeezed so much into the last two episodes that it became ridiculous, I mean how does a Mertesaker sized women just show up after a battle have a conversation with and kill Stannis without being noticed by Ramsey (who normallly doesn't miss a trick) and his victorious army?
The Prince of Dorne one of the more interesting characters was reduced to a spectator, what was the point of introducing the Martells?
All in all the weakest series.

SHAME! SHAME! (rings bell).

😆 You should really recruit people for the armed forces.

Game of thrones is a joke. A parody of itself.

goon

Game of Thrones is basically one big case of blue balls. Seriously think we're being trolled. Take the bit with Stanis, an entire fucking season once again dedicated to this clown and his march on Winterfel and it's taken apart in about 5 mins in the most pathetic way imaginable. And that's probably about the 4th or 5th times that's happened since the show began in a similar context. Boring and predictable, yet still annoying.

Couple of good scenes but the general direction of the story was and is terrible.

It's set up for fuck all to happen next season perfectly. Can tell the Dany storyline is going to be shit.

New too and yet his death was neither interesting or shocking. GoT is a one trick pony and I've seen the trick too many times now.

Agree with your second point. The show has pretty much lost the plot for me. Too many things going on, not enough real depth in certain parts whilst other parts seem to just drag on. Bar a few moments this season has been a big let down.

Didn't get what you meant by your first sentence. You knew yet were (unsurprisingly) not surprised or interested? Or he is a new character (which isn't the case) but his death was not shocking nor interesting? Or something completely different?

So.. Will any of those who think GoT is a boring, predictable joke of a show stop watching it? 😆
