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

Where is Lady Stoneheart? Rickon? Oh well. I am hoping those stories are picked up in the next book. Right now it seems like a slow plodding walk to a final battle with the white walkers.

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

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

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

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.

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.

pink22

7/24/17 12:07pm

Give us some examples of shows with good acting and sympathetic characters,

SoCalCoug

Ugh...again?? Family Ties

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

karatekid

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

Fair enough.

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

Bonoman

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

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

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

Forgot about the arrow scene...doh!
