A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

Basically Ankh-Morpork.

The thing is, Braavos clearly is the best place to live for regular people.

Well that Yara/Asha scene was really ****ing pointless, I bet they just did it to get the actor some time on screen.

The limitations of TV - you need to get these actors some screen time or else people forget about them and/or they find other projects and you need to recast the part. For some parts that doesn't matter as much... for Yara/Asha it may matter a great deal more.

[Bosh]

Now that I've actually seen the episode that was a lot of fun, Cogman is better at writing/adapting than the show-runners. They should kick themselves upstairs and let him do more of the writing.

Was good to have Varys again, we've seen so little of him this season and it was good to have him back.

Liked how with Theon all of the torture last season which was getting on my nerves is paying back now. The bath scene was creepy as **** because of all of the menace considering what happened last season.

For spoilery stuff:

Spoiler:

That Not-Asha scene was remarkably pointless but fun fight choreography. Would rather them have used that time to have the Kingsmoot this season. If that gets cut entirely I'll be annoyed since Euron's speech for that is so fun. But I can see where they're coming from a bit, better fighty stuff than a bunch of people that nobody knows speechifying at each other for the Unsullied I guess.

And why the **** did they cut the last bit about Oberyn agreeing to champion Tyrion? Not seeing the point of not letting that shoe drop.

But overall quite solid, good solid writing and acting and sets us up nicely for ELIA and queries concerning the locations of women of negotiable virtue.

Hence Ser "I'm still here!" getting a single pointless line in every Perkytits scene. He's clearly lined up for something actually relevant in season 6 or 7.

Wow, two things today I've thought and you've posted. Like buses.

Who ever is writing the TV series needs to be whipped with in an inch of their lives until they promise to stop screwing up the story.

[Felch]

What specific changes bothered you?

[Guynemer]

Does it matter? Remember:

Oerdin is always wrong.

[OzzyKP]

So does Tyrion go with Jaime or Bron? Hmmm.

Or are they going to end up fighting each other?

[Nikolai]

I could tell you, but isn't it better not to know?

[Lorizael]

Hm? No, Tyrion goes Episode 2 Yoda on Tywin's ass and everybody agrees it would be best if he were king.

He lifts an X-Wing out of the swamp?

I've seen several show only people correctly guess who will be fighting already.

[Felch]

Is it really correctly guessing if they just watched the season four trailer?

[regexcellent]

Or looked at the title of the eighth episode, yeah. I mean to say it's not a difficult deduction.

[Ming]

What's the point of spoilers... SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS THAT THEY HAVE GIVEN IT AWAY ALREADY
