I don't love GOT board, this will hopefully be my last post. The show has

I think they're kind of rushing to advance the story to its completion.

They are rushing and cramming everything in its just not the same this season

We're 2 episodes in. Relax

A couple of thoughts in response

byujacob

7/24/17 11:23am

Yep. Basically, it is welcome to act III

Probable Sacko

1. 100% agree

karatekid

7/24/17 11:26am

Agree with #1. #2 I partially agree with but think some of it is

shimmy

7/24/17 11:28am

Absolutely I agree. GoT has never been Breaking Bad, Fargo, or The Wire.

byujacob

7/24/17 11:38am

The non stop exposition this year is the worst.

shimmy

7/24/17 11:43am

The hound looking into the fire explaining what he saw..... lame

kotacoug

I actually like the Hound one, but the other one was bad.

shimmy

7/24/17 12:19pm

The Hound scene was interesting. The other was needed to advance the plot.

Jezza

7/24/17 12:28pm

I agree 100% - I guess this is what happens when you exceed your budget

karatekid

7/24/17 12:00pm

Makes you wonder about the showrunners' next show

Gustav

Martin though infuriating slow in writing the conclusion

he says the ending will be the same, but i am sure how it gets there, there will

karatekid

7/24/17 11:57am

The show has to be killing his motivation

Gustav

7/24/17 12:00pm

Lol... he was not that motivated before the series.

Really? I really liked last night's episode.

SoCalCoug

7/24/17 11:38am

It had some high highs and some low lows.

byujacob

7/24/17 11:39am

It's been pretty mediocre since S1 Ep1. So overrated.

pink22

You're going to get thumbs downed unless you explain why.

SandYFan

7/24/17 11:58am

Silly story lines. Over acting. Unnecessary sex scenes that add nothing.

Ugh...again?? Family Ties

pink22

7/24/17 12:15pm

i guess its all matter of opinion...man i couldnt disagree with you more

karatekid

7/24/17 12:23pm

Guys he's 100% a troll. Don't even give him the time of day

Jezza

7/24/17 12:26pm

I'm 100% sure GoT is overrated.

pink22

7/24/17 12:28pm

Return of the troll!

Jezza

7/24/17 12:11pm

I disagree

byukarl

7/24/17 2:38pm

Compared to week one it was a kind of a let down

byukarl

7/24/17 11:44am

What about Missandei explaining Valerian was network level?

SandYFan

7/24/17 11:58am

It was horribly written. It was repetitive, awkward, and an info dump of what

shimmy

Fair enough.

George RR Martin's books have sold millions for a reason...they were good...

Bonoman

7/24/17 12:07pm

I completely disagree that the show has gone way downhill. S6 E9-10 were 2 of

Jezza

7/24/17 12:23pm

Those episodes were really great action pieces

shimmy

7/24/17 12:35pm

I disagree, at least in how they are done in the show. Perhaps Blackwater

Jezza

7/24/17 1:23pm

That scene may have been historic - first ever sex scene involving a eunuch?

SoCalCoug

7/24/17 12:40pm

I give eunuch sex scenes 0 stars would not recommend.

Jezza

7/24/17 1:24pm

The explanation of genderless nouns was potentially the low point of the series.

Chambana Coug

7/24/17 12:46pm

The genderless noun thing isn't politically motivated, it's important to the

7/24/17 1:06pm

The whole fault of this rests in GRRM's lap. The show runners didn't sign up for

kimchicoug

7/24/17 1:24pm

There is a lot from the books the show has not flushed out or pursued....

Bonoman

7/25/17 12:19pm

You might need to watch the Battle of the Bastards again for one of those.

dYrtbYkerYder

Forgot about the arrow scene...doh!
