A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

[rah]

While it couldn't be perfect and satisfy everyone, I think it was adequate.
I liked the tributes to the past. The chair scene, the hand of the kings book. And at least Jon got to pet his buddy.

The laugh when Sam suggested a true democracy was good to.

The council meeting was a bit too flippant for me. But it was the season finale so I'll concede it as ok.

now Jon has no choice but to slay deneris

Being right all the time is a habit for me

[Docfeelgood]

Wonder if this is along the same ending Martin has in store.

If the leak about Bran the cripple becoming king is true then D&D simply must commit ritual suicide for ruining what used to be the best series on television. Sapuku is the only way to wash away such shame.

I hope he survives.

Meanwhile ppl demand a recount...err...remake:

I agree with the "rushed" point, but the "the show is bad when the ending is different from the ending I wanted" point is kinda meh.

man if only that worked and we could get a proper ending to Carnivale. too bad most of the actors in that are either too old or have gotten too famous.

[rah]

Yeah, no different then a star wars, it's just a story, enjoy what you can and don't take it so seriously.

Tyrion is now officially the tallest Lannister.

[BeBMan]

I think the last episode will be all about reconstruction...

[rah]

Well it was 'secret' And yeah, it was the same way he got out previously.
The how Jaime found it, I can't defend

[Berzerker]

amazingly they built all those defenses and left a 'secret' passageway from the red keep to underground tunnels leading to the sea. Tyrion told him about it, perhaps the same way he escaped after killing Daddy

so Jaime somehow knew where to find the secret entrance

[BeBMan]

From what I read ppl have lots of hate particularly for Dany going full evil. I liked her character myself a lot (and still do to some extent) but I think it was a healthy cold shower. It's not like it was totally out of the blue, the potential was always there, just moderated by those around her before, and while I wouldn't have predicted _this_ the show never seemed to be about simple happy endings.

It kinda remined me on the Stannis thing - he was already burning ppl before (or let the Red Woman do it), but many still saw him as good choice for the throne - until the show threw it back in their faces when he let it happen to Shireen without stopping it. It's not pretty, but a clever point to make nonetheless IMO.

Oh well, some say it's just TV, nobody gets reeeaaally killed. Unbelievable

One thing I wondered most about last ep. was how Jaime got into the city after they gates were closed. I thought he'd give away his gold hand to bribe some guard to let him in still. But nooo.

[pchang]

Didn’t she have to take out another big loan to pay for the Golden Company?

[rah]

If Cersei had managed to escape, there would be no way for her to repay all those loans from the Iron Bank of Braavos. .

She had already paid off all the old debt with the gold taken from High Garden. So I'm sure she had few loans out then prior.

If he does, he would rise a lot in my opinion.
IMHO he is too much of a wimp to actually kill Dany himself,
but instead will find excusations for the atrocities of "his queen".
(may change, if Daenerys announces she is going to punish Sansa for her betrayal (by telling Tyrion about Jons heritage), however)
