I would be so upset at a Stannis death here that I would say it's enough to finally remove GoT from top ten all time rankings. |

Also, are we seriously kidding ourselves about this season? The absolute immunity the bad guys have to any problems is ridiculous. D&D are an open book. GRRM created a great Joffrey and then killed him, and we're left with D&D reimagining a return of Joffrey, yet all we get is Santa Claus Ramsay. He knows your secrets, if you been good, if you've been bad. |

I think that's a troll. If this was LOTR or any other popular fantasy ever written, what that guy said is how it would happen. But GoT deliberately establishes these tropes so they can subverted. That doesn't mean they go to the opposite, but that they are muddied and screwed with. |

the show isn't thematically deviating. s6 is going to wrap up all the thematic developments that have already been written. then s7 will probably jump straight to the endgame that grrm told dnd about. |

I was not disappointed with the first episode of s6. It seemed like Jon Snow was in a lot of scenes despite the fact that he's dead right now... | |

Also, it was bizarre seeing the red witch without her necklace. Didn't know she's like the mom from Tangled. | |

She was once naked in a bath tub on screen without the necklace. So its not just the necklace. | |

Can't complain with ep1, it covered pretty much every story line. Very interested to see where it goes. Hate waiting, wish GoT releases were like House of Cards. It's cool that HBO Now is available without a cable sub, not sure how long it's been like that but I was able to watch it right as it went like at 9pm et with absolutely no streaming issues. | |

I felt like something was up-- and typically when I can't put my finger on it, it's editing or directing. That's not a knock on the editing or directing. I'm guessing this sort of catch up episode that visits so many arcs is quite hard to pull off and give a semblance of continuity. It wasn't bad, but it's an episode they needed to show, not wanted to make. | |

I think she's old because she already helped Jon off scene. That would be a plausible reason for the change | |

I think the scene had far less story relevance than that, JKDS. My read is it was a world building scene-- Similar to us seeing Pycell getting all limber and doing stretches that defy the age he portrays, or Jaqen Hagar revealing that the face we'd come to love is not his face at all. Both of those had some story implications, but more than anything they helped to make Planetos an even more curious world. | |

i think it shows her destitution and losing her faith. she seemed to be cold by the fire. |

Hrmmmmm she did get a blanket didnt she. Hrmmmmm | |

given how d&d do these things, Meli losing her faith is prerequisite for a surprise resurgence of great magic. |
04-29-2016 12:02 AM
#2203

I didnt get an "ominous" vibe from the scene. Perhaps that rules out her being a pretender of the faith or something. It was more of a sad, depressing vibe. | |

Also, I'm tired of being shown how overpowered the church suddenly is. Do the Lannisters just not have an army anymore? Are we saying that if Dany came by, riding on her single dragon, that she'd just win by default because there is no one to fight her? | |

Yeah, it's not that they are super strong, it's that they've managed to position themselves in an incredibly strong way, with a lot of thanks to Cersei's paranoia. | |

I'd guess that the Faith Militant is something akin to the power of the Roman Catholic Church during the Crusades, where the pope has wide power and influence and even sway over kings and nobles. | |

Apparently a lot of dirty book readers are outraged over the ending of last night's episode, insisting that GRRM specified that Dany only survived the Khal Drogo funeral pyre because of nasty blood magic, not some Targaryen tolerance for fire. | |
| |
05-18-2016 11:07 PM
#2218

Yeah, it's hard to believe the Faith Militant could become so powerful. Imagine what Joffrey would have done to them if he was still alive... | |

When they took over the city last season I was just assuming that there was a buildup that just wasn't shown because there's already too many story lines going on at the same time. I immediately thought of the Dan Carlin podcast Prophets of Doom about the occupation of Münster by the anababtists in the 1500's. Which is a real life example of a Marilyn Manson type sect taking control over a whole city. From that perspective I had no problem with it. | |

To me it was pretty obvious that the Three-Eyed Raven was lying when he told Bran that the past was written, "the ink is dry" etc. | |

the past was written though. hodor became hodor before bran hodor'd him because bran always hodor'd him. |

i'll be honest, hold the door was not an upsetting scene to me. probably because the time travel bullshit nullifies drama greatly, and oberyn martel headsquash exists. |

plus it was a "good" death. when was the last time in this show that somebody died heroically? nobody in this thing gets to sacrifice themselves for the good of others. the death was almost uplifting imo |

Why did the tree child not just throw the grenade? There was no need to sacrifice herself. None at all. | |

i'm sick of seeing goldie locks stand in fire and ride dragons and rally troops and say how she's going to conquer the world, then do nothing. i hope she actually does this season. | |

personal prediction: dany will lose most of her dothraki and ships in a storm in the narrow sea just like the mongols did when invading japan. it ain't called storm's end for no reason. |
05-31-2016 12:39 AM

I agree. I think Dany is done, but it has to be something more clever than the obvious: sending thousands of men who have never sailed and never seen ice and snow in leather armor across the sea to fight an army of knights in a thousand year long winter. The last two episodes were fantastic. I am so happy about how the story lines of Arya and King's Landing are panning out. Even after the entirety of last season it's still satisfying to see Cercei getting fucked... Sam might finally see some character development that fits his story and Arya is going to kick so much ass before this season is over. | |

Agree most of dothracki die via shipping issues. But I think she's destined to meet up with John snow the other side and together they go for the throne. Those dragons are destined for the final battle either against Kings landing for iron throne or the night walkers. | |

Dany's wasteland exists only because she does. Because of that, she and at least 1 dragon have plot armor. | |
