Meh, the books will vindicate the Meera theory if they ever get written. Disappointing that the show ditched Meera but whatever. Shows cant do everything in the books.

But everyone except known dumbasses should be disappointed by where the show went with the WW. The WW and 3ER were the central mysteries of the show - not just the books - and the show ultimately gave short shrift to both. The WW were ice zombies and the 3ER was a plot device to provide some necessary flashbacks. Okkkkk.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

pretty enjoyable reviews
I like that I'm pretty sure he doesn't understand #metoo

He has no clue.

There's a difference between what it was and what it's become. /pitout. You all know what I'm talking about.

I honestly have no idea

Add me to the list who thought Meera should have had a larger part in this show.

She got a paralyzed teenager from Winterfell to wherever the eff beyond the wall the former 3ER was and back. Seems a pretty large part imo.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

why wouldn't cersai have one of those huge arrow guns shoot tyrion?  she absolutely would have, if this were irl

Probably because Tyrion really hasn’t been worth crap the last few seasons and always ends up getting owned whenever they battle Cersei.

BUT — I definitely think it was stupid that they didn’t just unload those ballistas on the last living dragon that was just sitting right there like an idiot.

 I could be mistaken, but I believe it’s likely that Jon will make his way to Dragon Stone and as a true Targaryen king may likely somehow reanimate the stone Dragons there. I wouldn’t rule out Jon, Arya and Sansa all riding dragons together. This may not happen exactly but I think it is likely to play a role.

Check out my new article in Time magazine.

has anyone talked about how Bronn could just waltz into a fortress and into a quiet room with the hand of the king while carrying a rough ridin' crossbow? and then they just let him waltz his happy ass back out and don't have like the army murder him or anything. And who has a rough ridin' Lord do their murdering for them?

I mean, half the people at Winterfell would’ve been like “Oh hey, ‘sup Bronn” when he walked in. And he’s a half-assed Lord anyway.

I’m more troubled by the fact that he led off his negotiations by admitting that Cersei was probably the losing side. But yeah, your points, too. It was pretty dumb.

the giant crossbows are GOTs version of the TLJ hyperspace kamikaze

youre telling me that in 10000 years of continuous warfare (presumably including normal size crossbows) nobody thought of scaling up the crossbow to murk dragons and wreck entire fleets?

I’ve skimmed this thread since last night and you people are the absolute rough ridin' worst. I get it, something isn’t 100% right, but JFC. Write it yourself and just rough ridin' imagine it happening.

It's ok to admit when something has gone down in quality. This is easily the worst episode of the series, imho. Still had some good moments, but what a rough ridin' mess.

Tbh I can't even think of any episode that comes close to being this bad.

Plot points for the last two episodes have been leaked and it's taking all my strength to not go read them tho.

The A-team getting the zombie to send to cersei was the dumbest.

I thought the first scene when Dany made Gendry a lord was one of the best in the last three seasons

I tend to judge each episode as if it couldn’t help the circumstances it starts with. On that scale I think this was a fine episode. I’m still pissed with how the white walker storyline ended but I’ve come to grips with the fact that there’s simply not enough time to do anything else with it. I think the Jon vs Dany plot and setting her up as Mad King 2.0 is probably as interesting of a storyline that they could come up with at this point.

I’m also still a big fan of the entire Arya storyline, and I hope they don’t ruin it by having her kill Cersei.

Dude has only one hand. Probably affects his self-esteem a bit. Plus, he was nailing his sister before. Isn't not incest an upgrade from incest no matter who he was boinking before?
