Rewatching made me remember how much action was packed into the first 2-3 seasons and then how painfully slow it got with the whole sparrow thing.

I'm on a rewatch rn, about halfway thru S6. Most shows start declining after a few seasons but man this one keeps getting better.

The later seasons have not been as great IMO. I’m almost certain this season will be a huge disappointment, but I’m already all in so what can I do.

When I re-watched I forgot how much nudity was in season 1 and 2.

Also...last season was not boring. Stop trying to be edgy and enjoy the ride. Series like this don't come around often.

I follow the story loosely, I think the acting and production is very good.

i'm going to try to re-watch the series before starting the last season, but I'm getting a late start. I'm halfway through Season 1. I had forgotten how good the first season was with Sean Bean. None of the characters are insufferable at this point. They do an excellent job at teasing out all the familial intertwinings that are the bedrock of the story and will become more fully understood in later seasons.

Right now, I wouldn't skip a minute of it. I think starting around seasons 3 or 4 there's a few arcs I'll probably FF through if possible. Should hopefully be caught up before the series finale.

Qyburn makes no sense to me. Robb finds saves at harrenhal after the mountain slaughters the whole town. Now he's turned the mountain into some undead monster super killer and serves the people who ordered he be slaughtered and helps fight against the people that saved his life. Wtf dude

iirc his motivations are he loves doing F'd up experiments and cersei writes him a blank check to do that 24/7

Prime double cross material imo #spoilertag

Yes good piece. I certainly couldn’t articulate exactly why I didn’t like the later seasons as much but that’s probably it.

mocat · « **Reply #4415 on:** April 10, 2019, 04:57:02 PM »

george is obviously saving all his really good subversive plot stuff for twow.

in the meantime i am very much enjoying db & db's dialogue and also expensive af wide shots of drogon burning stuff and also long tracking shots of bronn running around in the middle of it, Children of Men-style.

and jim broadbent! i forgot how great he is in everything.

Yeah the wide shot of the dothraki screaming over the hill gives me chills every time

yes, but doesn't the fact that people seem to be able to travel around too fast sort of ruin the whole show for you? - idiots

Doing ok until the final question. Wagered everything. Who is Tyrion talking to when he says he has a soft spot for cripples bastards and broken things

First I was like Jon, but quickly dismissed that then I thought bran/maester luwin but it didn't sound right and then I was like o wait there was a fourth in that scene.
