GAME OF THRONES - PART 5 - *NO BOOK TALK - READ THE RULES*

My head is fine. I seem to be one of the few enjoying every episode

The torment some of you go through on a weekly basis when characters that's had like 10 minutes of screen time through 5 seasons die amuses me

Would be an awful show if you had your choice tbf. Everyone living happily ever after. Eating ice-cream and reading stories about flowers.

I was being sarcastic.

When have I ever said the show should end on a happy note?

You just seem to be dispise every despicable character moment for any character despite it being in tune with their character. Sansa was ruined and now Stanning, despite being the most obvious outcomes according to their past actions. Can't see how else the situations could've gone down. Imagine if Stannis refused and just got starved to death etc. instead of fighting. Wouldn't fit him at all.
One thing I don't understand is the Meryn Trant thing. Maybe because he's only had one scene so far.

No, i hate the unnecessary scenes which they add purely for the shock factor. I have no problem in a character being a scum. Cersei is one of my favourite characters in the show. The stannis scene, I agree was logical for him to do. But I don't agree with the way he did it. I can't debate any of this without spoiling so I won't. And I won't mention the books since it pisses people off. But there were other ways things could have happened and they chose not to do that since it was 'boring'. Same with the Sansa storyline. They invented a scene instead of going a 'boring' route.

And despite you not wanting a happy ending. That is exactly what the show is heading towards. You might want white walkers to rule the north, or Ramsay to rule the seven kingdoms. But in the end I'll be surprised if they went for anything other than a big good Vs evil fight with good prevailing.

Well, only on here I have seen people having no problem with rape scenes or burning kids alive tbh.

Whole internet wants Stannis to die, but you seem to be in full support of him after what he did

I support the interesting characters and story lines. And so far they're doing a great job. Jon Snow is my favourite because he's good but so faulty because of it. The biggest flaw he has. I just don't freak out when a minor character I couldn't care less about dies.

I can't really be rustled in this show after all I've seen tbh. The Internet almost forgot what we'd seen so far. I just love finally getting somewhat of an emotional reaction again. Great emotional scene that fit perfectly in the story. But why would I want Stannis to die when that'd mean more screen time for sand snakes etc

I had no problem with the Sansa rape scene, as discussed countless times at that time so no going into that again.
But this, the way they did it, just after he professed his love to Shireen few episodes back in the one of the most emotional scenes in the series so far (and now it all just feels rather staged and a set-up for this) and after being raided by Ramsay and 20 good men over night

didn't even post last weeks tl;dr post (:

You don't seem to understand the point. It's not that a minor character died. If a superhero destroys a building full of innocent people. No one will care. But if a superhero destroys a building with his wife in it, people will freak out. Even if she was a minor character. Stannis burnt his enemies down for years but he cared about his daughter more than he ever cared about religion. He got desperate enough to burn his daughter down? Sorry that doesn't add up. Killing his brother was because he fully believed he will win the war. There was no maybes.

He killed his daughter just for a shot at Winterfell. Where he has no idea if it will work or not. Has the king's blood ever worked for him in the past? That's a long shot he is aiming for. And a man as rational as Stannis would never attempt something which he doesn't fully believe in.

Tbh 20 good men was worse than the burning

tldr gets released every tuesday.. this one is from last week http://captainofalltheships.tumblr.com/post/120498715232/chrys-watches-got-season-5-episode-8

Good point tbh

Seriously though, Like I said. I don't care if a character is being a twat. But there are many ways in achieving what they want to show without having a WTF IS THIS moment.

GRRM has written more gruesome things in the book than D&D can dream off. But he never did it for the sake of it.

It was certain that he would lose if he didn't do it though. He had no chance after Ramsey's plot armor attack.

The minor character point was why I couldn't really get rustled by it. I didn't care that much for that girl. Stannis always seemed like a ruthless cunning prick, so that didn't surprise me one bit and it was obviously going to happen once Mellissandre suggested it

On a different note. The story Shereen was talking about 'Original Dance of Dragons' is actually a mini novella written by GRRM. AKA 'Princess and the queen' or 'Dangerous women'

It's fantastic if you want to spend few hours reading. Really short and won't take long.

describes in length on how the dragons ended up being extinct decades ago.

I'm going to repost this for all the foreshadowing



"You will betray your family, everything you once held dear, and it will all be worth it, because you are the son of fire"

Stannis to sit on the Iron Throne confirmed

Meh. Can't disagree.

I doubt anything will rage me anymore now tbh.

*Please don't quote this if something does happen in the future eps/seasons and I rage

ffs

Isn't that incorrect

It is


Just remembered the pit fight. Unsullied spending too much time in the brothels that they forgot how to fight. Scrub rich men stabbing them left right centre

Thought they were legit badass fighters.

Stannis doesn't deserve Davos ffs, i hope he joins Dany's all-star cast.

Tyrion, Jorah, Davos and Varys.

They're the advisory rendition of the Galacticos

Maybe it's not their fault.
Maybe the harpies are just that good.

Scrub rich men killed the stronkest fighter in the realm , also mortally wounded a dragon, they're legit bro

Unsullied are made for the battlefield, fighting in an open space. Look at the difference between their close quarter fight and their fight after they jump into the pit.

I am amazed that people still don't get this since we saw this happen in E4. How good fighters can eunuchs really be? They are supposed to be overrated.

E4 was actually a great setup for soldiers with spear and shield imo.. only problem was they had no formation at all and they should've used these shields

I agree that they are not too great on their own though. Not strong enough and next to no armor.

That was so gut-wrenching to watch... but I think the fact that the show can elicit such strong emotions is a testament to its quality.

Think it was my worst scene in the entire series. Those screams... and the way she clutched that wooden piece Davos gave till the end.


Hope Stannis realises that he has ended the Baratheon bloodline.
