Game of Thrones begins....

[Martinus]

Worst episode of the season and one of the worst of the series.  Every scene felt contrived.  From Arya not dying then returning to her mentor who lets her go - to the 'siege' of Riverrun where that dolt Edmuire ends up giving his castle without a fight to those who tortured him for years - to Brienne who's 'sworn' to fight Jamie yet runs in the middle of the night - to Blackfish, reintroduced last week only to be killed off in passing - to Danny who returns in the nick of time on Drogon-express...  Pfff 

Oh well I guess there had to be one shitty episode in this, so far the best season of the series.

And btw, where's Varrys going?  I stopped reading the books after the 3rd one so.



G.

I agree. The only highlights for me were the scenes involving the Clegane brothers - especially Cersei's "I choose violence" which gave me a satisfactory "Glen Close in Dangerous Liaisons" vibe. Still not enough fundamentalists were squashed like bugs.

From Arya not dying then returning to her mentor who lets her go

Yi called it.

to the 'siege' of Riverrun where that dolt Edmuire ends up giving his castle without a fight to those who tortured him for years -

Edmure, I can live with it.  But the soldiers willingly letting him in and obeying to order to surrender, against the Blackfish, that was silly.

to Brienne who's 'sworn' to fight Jamie yet runs in the middle of the night -

Nope, she is not sworn to fight Jaimie.  She said she would be sworn to figth Jaimie if there was a battle.  There is no battle.  Blackfish is deposed and Edmure surrenders.

to Blackfish, reintroduced last week only to be killed off in passing

Is he really dead?  We haven't seen his body.

- to Danny who returns in the nick of time on Drogon-express...  Pfff 

That was cliché, but it was expected.  She was one week away 2 weeks ago.

[Admiral Yi]

Yi called it.

I got it completely wrong.

[Siege]

Definitely - most people I spoke to were disappointed Mountain stopped after one.

Yeah. I was like: "Religious Fundamentalist bloodbath time!!!!111"

Then nothing happens. Meh.

[Jaron]

Edmure's surrender was exactly as it happened in the books. Of course his men would obey him over the Blackfish. He's their lord.

Yeah, people forget that the Blackfish is a stranger to those men.  Edmure is someone they've known all of their lives.

[Martinus]

Yeah, viper's comment about Edmure and Riverrun completely misunderstands the feudal mindset.

G.

Glad it's not just me.
A lot happened. It should have been great.
But just.....meh.

[Josephus]

this entire season's been kind of ...meh. Hard to believe the story plotting has gotten worse since  they strayed from the books. And very little nudity too.

[viper37]

And very little nudity too.

yeah.  No Margaery walk of shame

[The Larch]

I must admit that seeing Beric Dondarrion again made me much happier than I thought it would. At least a happy surprise!  If the Hound joins the Brotherhood they become my fav faction instantly.

Good to see Bronn mentoring Pod a bit, hope to see him put that in practice at some point.

[Berkut]

That was awesome.

"OK, look at your feet..."

WHACK.

Sandor had a couple of good ones too.

"Everybody dies. Well, except that one (pointing at Dondarrion)"

"- How do you like the food? - I'd have preferred chicken."

[Habbaku]

"You're shit at dying" was my favorite.
