I see some kind of deal where the slavers provide assistance to the Iron Throne in exchange for assisting with the debt the current regime has racked up. We don't know how the ironborn thing will resolve. Currently there's a civil war. If she runs into Yarah, things will be a little more civil. If she runs into Euron and his gang of frat boys, not so much. I'm guessing that Yarah will somehow take out Euron and gain the respect of the rest of the Ironborn in the process, so you might be correct.

Western Red Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Seemed really forced. Not a huge fan of that episode. Benjen reappearing was poorly done. Loved the Sam Tarley bit though. That was my favorite part. The intrigue of Mace and Jaime marching upon the sept was quashed by a questionable delivery. was pretty intense though.

While there have been cool events taking place, the whole season so far feels like just going through the motion. I can't quite pinpoint what made it cool in the past is no longer there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I fell asleep and dreamt that I watched a boring Game of Thrones episode. Woke up pissed that my sleep was wasted. Found out later that I wasn't dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she rides into Westeros with 3 dragons, 100,000 Dothraki, the unsullied, etc... she is going to demolish everyone else. Maybe the Ironborn, who seem to act like a bunch of drunken frat boys, will intercept her fleet and inadvertently take half them out. Not only that, but (even though she doesn't yet realize it) she has the ultimate biological weapon... All she has to do is send Jorah back to KL (he was granted a pardon, as you might remember) and have him shake hands with Tommen, Cersei, Jaime, (left handed of course) Mace and Olenna....

aGENT Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Goodness people, not every episode can hold the door for a white walker battle or something. Perfectly fine episode. Loved the Tarly bit and love that Arya finally said @#$%-it to faceless nonsense and started kicking ass again. Welcome back Needle. I await the battle Could have done without another dragon/monologue-ing bit though. We get it. She's the kick ass mother of dragons, yadda, yadda...

It looked like she went back to her bed there with Needle. I'm guessing she is lying in wait, kills the girl, takes her face, and goes undercover at the Faceless temple. That way she still has access but can d what she wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want someone to stitch together all of Danys preachy little rants to see how much screen time was actually eaten up by her talking about how she is entitled to something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there's a lot of possibilities, one of the many reasons I didn't find this episode 'boring'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd find it a bit odd that she would be able to just take her face. It seems as though the whole removal and use of faces thing is a pretty involved process that involves both surgery and religious ritual. We haven't seen Arya get any training in that whatsoever.

I'd like her to move on from there. Kill the girl, take her face, but she spent hundreds of nights sleeping in crap conditions repeating the names of people that she wants to kill. Its time to do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Anyway the crown gets Jaime to fight the mountain in Cersei's Trail by Combat? That would be quite the conundrum. Still wondering how branflake is going to fly like the 3 eyed raven said he would. Hope he didn't mean by warging into a bird.

I find those episodes to actually be the worst of them all. I don't need battles to keep interested. But the last episode was one of the most forgettable of the series.

He's obviously going to warg into a dragon that Jon Snow will end up riding into battle alongside his new bride, Daenerys.... just mindless speculation of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do people expect on each an episode by episode basis? it's seems like a whole lot of people would have been much happier if the entire series was only about 3 or 4 seasons long, with most of the politicking and "character development" cut out. or if the show was solely centered around one character. i don't get the Sam hate, personally. but i guess we all have our favourites. I definitely have my issues with the show, but even a "boring" episode of GoT is still better than anything else on TV right now, by leaps and bounds IMO. WITH THAT SAID, I just started re-watching the entire series (I'm also reading the first book, again) and I cannot believe how weak the early episodes are. They feel so incredibly thin, rushed, and under-produced compared to recent seasons. Sure, they have some (instantly) iconic scenes and stuff, but man, the CGI and greenscreen looks 30 years dated already. Kinda disappointing. Funny, because when I first read the book, I thought the first season was way better. Now I think the book is better than the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've probably had their budget increased as the series has progressed. I doubt anyone could have predicted how popular it would be.

Monty Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I'm not an super fan (ie. never read the books). I watch the episodes and enjoy them all and feel they are always worth watching. I guess for me, the show came to an ass grinding halt ever since Tyrion's court trial; which subsequently for me, was my favourite episode.

Down by the River Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I don't think the episode was 'boring' as much as it was 'interesting information presented with a lack of creativity'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
