I'm hoping this finally pushes her to unleash the dragons. It seems she has handled everything so poorly this season that if she doesn't do anything I don't even want her to rule Westeros. That being said, the preview for next week gave away Barristan's fate. There is no way Dany takes Jorah back right? In the teaser for the season there was a scene shown with Jorah in the fighting pits. So I am assuming that will be his punishment for returning.

I also was audibly upset the whole time that the unsullied didn't just destroy the harpies. For how expensive they supposedly are, they sure seem to be killed rather easily.

All that cuddling made the Unsullied soft.

Better villain - Ramsey or Joffrey?

Of course the unsullied go their asses kicked by the harpies. the unsullied's biggest strength is their organization. they operate as a unit. they are not trained to fight in utter chaos.

rough ridin' chowderheads, the lot of you.

How many Unsullied are required for a unit? Whatever that number is is how many Unsullied should patrol together at all times. Why would you attempt to fight with fewer than required?

If they weren't soft then they were being stupid, which is arguably worse.

Ramsey. He does the dirty work himself and he's much more torturing about it.

Joff was a cold hearted a-hole but at least he never cut off a guy's johnson.

Ramsay can be witty and humorous, even if he is a sadistic madman. He also at least has some sort of an excuse as to why he does what he does. He comes from a family of psychopaths and desperately wants to be accepted as a true Bolton. He's basically the super Bolton.

Joffrey was just a terrible human and didn't have any redeeming qualities as a person or character. The only thing he provided was anger and making everyone wish someone would off him. Not that he wasn't a great character. He was, and his mega-heel status made for a lot of great scenes where you could really root for whoever he was up against.

You hate Joffrey. Ramsay is a sick and twisted eff, but doesn't really invoke seething hatred like Joff did.

I'm more scared of Ramsey than Joffery.

Joffrey was given a whole lot more screen time to develop that hatred. Give Ramsey time, and I think you will hate him even more. Joffrey was the more unique character, though. I think I prefer him just for that.

Absolutely. Joff was very hate-able, but Ramsey is more villainous.

TownieCat · « **Reply #1286 on:** May 11, 2015, 01:54:29 PM »

A month ago the term "greyscale" meant absolutely nothing. Stannis' daughter looked kinda scaley, but who cares? It's like the show runners sat on it until the last possible moment. I wonder if Jorah will cut off his arm or try to hide it...

Ramsey was very Joffrey-ish at dinner. It's pretty much #caseclosed on who is the bigger villain between he and Joff.

Grey Worm!!!!!!

so, uh, this show kinda sucks now.

mocat · « **Reply #1288 on:** May 12, 2015, 10:45:32 AM »

yes nothing is going to happen this season unless they fast forward through a bunch of terrible book 4 narrative (looks like they kind of are)

K-S-U-Wildcats! · « **Reply #1289 on:** May 12, 2015, 12:00:11 PM »

Still binge re-watching the last 4 seasons. Back to Season 4 now. Looking forward to firing up Season 5 next week!

Where is the thread where I get mad about the show deviations and get all high and mighty about reading the books?

Is this it? I want to make sure that I'm in the right place.

No, this is for the show only.

Interesting if true.

The Boltons have to be really stupid if they think that Sansa is just going to go along with them, right? They have to know that she hates them...Do they just think that she is a quiet little girl who does what she's told and isn't going to try to get revenge?

Sophie Turner has mentioned in interviews that there is a particular scene she filmed this season that was traumatizing. Since she is now wrapped up with the Boltons I'm really afraid of what will happen to her. Given the Boltons history with the Starks nothing would surprise me.
