Shaft Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 23 hours ago, GLASSJAW said: It was definitely one of my favourites of the series so far, easily top 3. But not just because of the Hodor stuff. the dialogue in that episode was on-point throughout, and so many of the good characters had really defining or interesting scenes. My favourite bit of the episode was probably with the Greyjoys. the whole conflict and crowning sequence was so good. sad that von Sydow (probably?) won't be in the show anymore. but Ian McShane (Al Swearengen) is in the cast for this season, so hopefully he has a good role coming up. It's weird because in the books, the Kingsmoot were my least favourite chapters. They've done a good job by making Euron interesting, and I like how Yara managed to steal that many boats. Show's how good of a leader she is when all those people were willing to follow her and abandon their homes. The ending of this episode opens up so many possibilities that I thought would never be on a show like GOT. Damn, it was so good. People seemed to be more emotional and into it because of how Hodor became Hodor and how he died. However, for me, it was the fact that it shows how powerful Bran is. Look at what he can do and look at how concerned the Night King was. He personally brought his other White Walker buddies, plus hundreds of wights to deal with Bran and the Three-Eyed Raven.

Did that even happen in the books? I personally liked the whole Iron Islands story in A Feast for Crows. Spoiler I seem to recall Victarion was sent by Euron to find Daenerys and Victarion was going to betray Euron and take Daenerys for himself. Euron was doing raiding on Highgarden or something near Oldtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiggs50 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 The visions Bran was seeing was so dope. They might go way back and show us the mad king. Overall decent episode. Not the best but good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kacholu Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 That was by far the most boring episode of the season. Wayyyyy too much time spent on Sam and Gilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was boring yet like other episodes setting up the scene for other major events. There must be a major reason for the Sam storyline and I'm guessing it has to do with meeting Yara's fleet in Old Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Dany has not changed in six seasons. GoT writers seem to love ending on a corny Danyerus speech/moment. About time Arya figured out she didn't want any part of that. Pretty stoked to see two 12 year old girls duel it out. I also thought it was kind of stupid that Benjen waited that long to say 'Oh hi, btw I'm your Uncle'. Episode definitely introduced/set a lot of things up, but one of the weakest of the season IMO.

theminister Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 My theory right now is that the storyline with the Faith Militant, and Jamie being sent away, opens up the unthinkable of Cersei assassinating Tommen to seize control for herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I like Sam's storyline, so naturally I really liked that episode, but I thought the ending was horrendous. I was actually thinking "please don't be riding the dragon, please don't be riding the dragon..." - welp. I'm super glad Arya is getting away from all that "the girl has no name" stuff.

Jägermeister Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 It's always a little dissapointing to wait a week for an episode like that, then have to wait another week again afterwards. Very "meh". Moved the story along but that was about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda disappointed - I was hoping for a more meaty, long-lasting role. Unless they spend a whole EP doing the flash back sequences, I cannot imagine McShane being in it that much Nevermind, just googled it - that's not him. Ian McShane revealed his role earlier, and it gives away a plot spoiler. Googlers beware. Edited May 30, 2016 by GLASSJAW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
