Something tells me this latest episode is a bit... divergent <_<

I'm gonna go watch it shortly, this should be interesting.

It's definitely the weakest of the season so far. We get some good Jorah fighting moments that salvages it from being a complete piece of shit, but I wouldn't go in expecting it to be like the previous episode. Oh yeah, and the Dorne plot line basically amounts to a fetch quest. That's literally it. I don't even consider that to be spoilers seeing as how pathetically written that story arc was.

The last episode better be spectacular to save S5 from being a somewhat mediocre season.

I thought the SoTH were like this cowardly little group that stabbed unsullied in the back at night time but never really confronted Daenarys openly.
When the fuck did they turn into a massive army brave enough to stand up to a dragon?!

Well I'm already a bit hacked off over the winterfell developments so we'll see what goes now ._.

Yeah <.<

This was really the only thing that annoyed me though. Well annoyed me to a degree beyond a bit of 'meh'.

The Unsullied are supposed to be supreme badasses, but in the show they seem to exist solely to add on-screen deaths without killing actual characters.

I'm loving how a mob of what are supposed to be pissed off noblemen playing hashashin with a couple of daggers seem to shit all over professional soldiers.

And a fucking dragon. I thought the scene in the book was just fine, and having Jorah kill that lone assassin would have been plenty.

It'll be amazing if they manage to either make people glad the Boltons win, or less than thrilled if Stannis wins.

Yeaaaah, I'm not quite sure how they are supposed to be these all powerful monsters that the targaryens ruled the world with when a few spears chucked at it are causing that sort of damage. Normally dragonscale is meant to be somewhat impervious to a bit of sticking >_>

It certainly seems like they are pushing that, aside from the red wedding and flaying the odd peasant, hunting random women for sport and all kinds of random butchery, they aren't *that* bad going by some of the other shit houses pull in the show.

Bar Joffrey exclusively, what have other houses pulled that is worse than what the Boltons have done ?

It was a bit of a joke <.<

The targs are the only ones that really come to mind.

Nick McIntyre · June 08, 2015, 08:29:39 PM

Sons of the Harpy are so powerful, roughly 10 of them got killed by an old man despite having superior numbers and bum-rushing him.

I honestly think they got uber powerful just for drama purposes...unless they go against a main character. Loved how they charged Daario one by one and ended up getting stabbed to death.

Azumarill · June 08, 2015, 08:31:42 PM

the shadowbinders from asshai are the real top faction

They are making it so painstakingly obvious I hope he doesn't for the sake of the show.

Also the unsullied are stupidly weak in the show, and I was laughing every time someone speared the dragon. Like that's gonna do anything.

Overall not pleased with the "creative freedoms" that are being taken, it's being rushed hard core.

I trust the dude who spent his life on the storyline more than TV producers. There is plenty if stuff for them to put in the shows without bum rushing it to the end like they are now.

Characters and groups are as powerful as the plot needs them to be. This is where the show has come to.
