Aizenberg Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I legitimately want to know why this episode was rated so highly. I'm not saying this episode was terrible or anything (it was average), but best episode in the entire show? seriously? better than episode 9 last season? or episode 9 in season 2? or any of the episodes in season 1? It's got 9.9/10 on imdb for crying out loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Laufeyson Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 because boobs i dont even watch GoT Nope. Episode 8 was actually hella good because it dropped some plot bombs that were...i dunno, Actually Pretty Cool That episode was boobless. We've had two episodes in a row without boobs. But that one was rated high because people love to see the Others/White Walkers. oh boy episode 9 just came out here's my review I AM AZOR AHAI REBORN AMIDST SALT AND SMOKE. Yeaaaahhhhhh im more than a little salty tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belisarius Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 it was a pretty solid episode with some original story not seen in the books? who cares what its rated, all ratings are arbitrary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I watched ep 8 today. I'm really pissed off that they introduced (I think? I didn't see all of season 4) that beautiful wildling leader and then killed her in the same episode. I don't know her name. Actually, I can remember any of the names of the relatively major wildling leaders besides rattleshirt and mance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I can remember any of the names of the relatively major wildling leaders besides rattleshirt and mance. the show called that lady, Karsi. And yeah she was only there that one episode. I got my hopes up that she would be like a substitute for Val, but nooooo. D&D strike again with their BS. Are there even any Thenns left? DID YOU SEE WHAT THEY DID TO MANCE EARLIER THIS SEASON?! He aint coming back, man. This week's episode showed Stannis get character assassinated so bad that even show only fans are like "NOPE" *rolls around in salt for fifty years* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizenberg Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) I'll watch episode 10 when it comes out but after that I'm done with this show. I'll wait till the books come out and read them. EDIT: I'm not done ranting. Giving a show massive plot holes just for the sake of making a storyline shocking/controversial doesn't make the show good. It's cheap and lazy. It's bad writing. And i know shows like Berserk and Sopranos have some dark moments, but those are good shows. They're well written......unlike this huge turd of a program! who missed me on the forums then? anyone?

Aizenberg Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Episode 10..... I can't even be bothered to rant about it. It's like when Jon doesn't feel the last knife going into him at the end of Dance with Dragons This show has made me numb to give a shit. I did like Robert Strong in this episode so at least that's a plus. But overall, worst finale and season in the show. I'm officially done with this show. If I had to rank the seasons from best to worst; season 1 season 2, season 3, season 4 season 5 Edited June 16, 2015 by Aizenberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zkirsche Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Nice to have you back mr unpopular opinions. As usual your opinion is highly disagreeable though. @Spoiler Tag Content: That was obviously something they'd have to drop from the books. How would they portray that in a tv show?

Zkirsche Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 The white walker scene was epic and LotR-esque and I'm surprised you didn't like it. Each to their own but it's what carried the episode to being the highest rated. I feel like your complaints come as if these things are not typical for the books (Hence why you say you're moving solely to the books), when this is naiive of you. [spoiler=elaboration on the above] Many of the more objectionable scenes from this season are actually suggestions from George RR Martin himself, the burning of Stannis' daughter being one of them, so to think that the books are going to be any different is, as I said, naiive. It doesn't get much different. Also I really don't know what plotholes you are talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belisarius Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 i liked episode 10, but they left too many cliffhangers which is completely contrary to the past seasons. it felt out of place but other than that i dont see the problems you do. the show and the books are separate entities and should be treated as such.

Phoenix Wright Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 honestly, weakest season so far, after all emotions/etc. have passed (for me). recent /r/asoiaf topics explain exactly why... still pretty good tv, though. and it's not like i'm disinterested in the show now.

It doesn't get much different. It might have been a suggestion by George, but that doesn't change the fact that it was executed poorly. Same with Sansas storyline. They made Stannis into a desperate moron whose in love with Melissandre. Here's a couple of Stannis quotes in the books "It may be that we shall lose this battle," the king said grimly. "In Braavos you may hear that I am dead. It may even be true. You shall find my sellswords nonetheless." The knight hesitated. "Your Grace, if you are dead — " " — you will avenge my death, and seat my daughter on the Iron Throne. Or die in the attempt." The same daughter he burns to death. And I'm not saying she's going to survive till the end of the series, but to kill her off in such a rushed nonsensical way is just shit writing. "I defeated your uncle Victarion and his Iron Fleet off Fair Isle, the first time your father crowned himself. I held Storm's End against the power of the Reach for a year, and took Dragonstone from the Targaryens. I smashed Mance Rayder at the Wall, though he had twenty times my numbers. Tell me, turncloak, what battles has the Bastard of Bolton ever won that I should fear him?" You'd think a man with this much experience would've come up with some sort of battle plan against Ramsay, rather than attacking head on recklessly. And also losing his supplies and horses to Ramsay and his 20 ninjas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when a less nonsensical option is presented by the books: Stannis left his family at the Wall with Melisandre, because why would he bring them to battle?

Exactly. It's the same with Sansa getting married to a Bolton. It makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
