WTF Stannis! Melisandre better hope it works out for Stannis, otherwise she's going to be crucified.
I really hate what the show has done with the Mannis (aside from his casting). In the show he's never been anything but a fanatic, and so everything he does outright contradicts the book character, especially the latest thing.
I've only skimmed the cliff notes so far this season, but I can't help but feel the show jumped the shark a bit last season with Jojen and Ygritte. Those are scenes worthy of the "unintentionally hilarious scenes" thread. I busted out laughing when the boy gave Snow the "I got your her back, bro!" nod, and if they'd had any budget left, they probably would've dropped an anvil on Jojen and run him over with a steamroller.
I don't know why people feel the show has to replicate the books. Walking Dead does its own thing inspired by but separate from its source material and its doing fine. The show has to forge its own path anyway once it's overtaken the books chronologically.
You cant like a character in this show. This episode left too much cliffhanger and was just super depressing. I mean leave us with something good. Just cant end like that.
I don't know if I'm just getting more used to the formula this show follows, but the when I saw Ellaria kiss Myrcella and when I saw Ollie run in to tell Jon that there was news about his Uncle, I instantly guessed what was going to happen next.

Man I hate that kid. Should've died in a previous ep, kinda knew he was gonna kill john at the end. Since they pushed for a build up

My wife called the poison kiss, I was clueless though. But we were both shocked when Snow did the pincushion thing.
This is the laziest writing I can remember for this show. Setting up story lines for next year is good, but doing it by cutting away from a scene in the middle of anything happening is so cheap.
Daenerys plot was dumb- wander away from your only mode of travel and protection and get surrounded by an army that materializes out of nowhere and leave us hanging. If anyone actually finds that ring I'm going to be so irritated at the sheer improbability.
Brienne plot was so contrived. She's been there how long and misses the candle by 30 seconds? Lame. And why cutaway right at the resolution to the Stannis story? The only reason to do that is to leave it open that he's still alive, which is also lame.
Theon and Sansa rush through jumping off the wall and that's it? What a bunch of shit.
The whole thing was so manipulative. I'm get more annoyed the more I think about it.
Surprised at Jon dying, but at least they made it clear that's what happened. I'm betting on a resurrection though.
Just was thinking. Why is the many face guy so corcerned about aria killing someone that wasnt thier target. Then when she did, he said something about using a life to balance it(something to that extent). But yet he once killed 3 people who aria chose at the prison

He killed three people she chose, because Aria saved 3 lives from the fire (including his) said something about how "she had stolen 3 lives from the red god, so she must name 3 more to be offered in their place."

Thats not lazy writing. Thats ending the season too early. The show will continue so its not bad writing to end an episode. Its just bad ending to a season since it didnt wrap up mich in any storyline and left it 90 percent cliffhanger. The rest of your stuff is just nit picking. Its a show man. Its entertainment and make believe. If it was realistic it would be boring. Of course she misses the candle. It moves the plot. Dany said if you were listening that she was looking for food. She tried to ride the dragon. He wasnt budging. Sansa and theon are a cliffhanger. Of course you know sansa wont be dead. Dont really need to see her get away. Her next story will be in the next season so cant really start anything there. Its just a cliffhanger.

I agree. I felt the first 9/10 of the season was pretty boring and then they just crammed it all this episode. Oh well I guess I will only have to watch that episode to refresh when it comes back on in two years.

you thought the white walker battle episode was boring? jesus that was one of the best stretches the show has had. Also the sons of the harpy battle episode and the dragon showing up and her flying off on it. I just dont get it. People cant be pleased.
and ummmm. The show always builds to the last 2 episodes every season. That hasnt changed since season 1

^^^^ this x 1000. I loved the crap out of season 1-4........i was so dissapointed in this season i was so underwhealmed and bored this season. The story is so spaced now with characters i dont give a crap about mostly including about 1/3 of this whole season was the most annoying character aria and that dumb mumbo jumbo about 2 faced god. I was thinking ok the last episode will make up for it and it was just a bunch of shock and awe crap again with no substance. My brother in law read all the books to date and said it is totally different now so they are not making this crap to follow the books they just made a crap season.
Also i wish there was no fantasy stuff i.e. , white walkers, ghost babies. wish it was all possible that this couldve happened 2000 years ago. Starting to remind me of return of the king where they fight and fight and then..... a ghost army kills all the orcs. Great

I am told vikings is awesome and ill try that
wish there was no fantasy stuff? so no dragons or any magic? Thats one of the biggest parts of the show. Its a fantasy show. Its not medieval history. geez
Why are you even watching it then? The show is no different from seasons 1-4 imo. Every single season you say you love builds to the final couple episodes. The formula did not change. Actually more probably happened that would be deemed as less boring actually this season. If you arent a book reader the show literally feels no different. Feels like people say this crap anytime something becomes very popular
" I liked the first few seasons, but now I just feel its not any good" ......Everyone says this now. It becomes a cliche at some point.

I agree with all these points. This last episode left me cold, even though the Cersei march was a very memorable scene.
The Arya assassination scene was ridiculous. Arya sort of pushed the guy's shirt into his mouth, but that sort of gagging never works! He didn't even fight back a little, just took it like a bitch. And since he was gagged, when she accused him of killing Syrio Forel, something we never actually saw happen, (and honestly the guy was just in command, not necessarily the guy who actually killed Syrio, plus he was acting under orders -- it wasn't a personal vendetta kind of thing,) he was gagged so couldn't confirm or deny the accusation.
Arya, you are not ready. They said. You killed a different guy. No big deal though, we'll pay for it with another guy's life. Because why would life balance death? Death now pays for death. We're changing the rules up in here. But we'll force your mouth open just to scare you into thinking the poison was meant for you.
Myrcella's death, telegraphed. Obvious. Lame.
The decision made in Meereen was sloppily written. Tyrion Lannister was very out-of-character, letting Daenerys' lapdog Daario talk circles around him. Oh, and by the way Tyrion speaks Meereenese pretty well, you just found out fifteen seconds ago. It's convenient to the plot we're making up just now. Because all Lannisters are taught Meereenese, a language that would be 99% useless to them. Now it's time for awkward silence as I stare at Grey Worm and Missandei.
Brienne missed the candle by more like 4 seconds. She looked away at the same time as the candle was lit at the same time Stannis' army arrives, at the same time Reek decided to grow balls, at the same time Sansa is trying to escape, so it's even more ridiculous happenstance.
Does that mean the whole point of Brienne standing there wasting her time this entire season (with her poor squire) was so she could just find a wounded and already almost dead Stannis?!?
And why the hell did Stannis continue on with the attack? A big red sign should've been blinking in his head at that point that he's been scammed! I mean, if Stannis felt like since he lost his wife and daughter he had nothing to lose and still believed the Lord of Light would protect his army, they should've made that clear. It almost felt like Melisandre went through that entire scharade that started at the beginning of Season 2 as an elaborate plan just to kill off Stannis and his family.
The jumping off the wall thing was totally stupid too, I agree. Does Theon and Sansa plan to escape with broken legs? Do they think they can get out of the country without being tracked down by all of Ramsay's hunting dogs? Was that REALLY their only option just because "Ramsay was coming"? Why would Sansa trust Theon enough to jump at the same time as him off of a wall high enough to kill you after he just betrayed and shoved someone over a ledge of equal height 5 seconds ago? Can he be so easily redeemed and trusted after betraying her multiple times?...
Talk about a Trust Excercise.
Aren't there tunnels leading outside of Winterfell? Arya found her way outside of Winterfell through the underground tunnels just fine in season 1. I'm just saying you'd think Sansa would be able to use growing up in the place to her advantage and not be forced to jump over a wall.
And what was up with the lead singer of the Rock-a-Fire explosion as Queen Cersei's newest knight? "He doesn't talk (because he took a vow of silence ... puh-lease) and has ridiculous custom armor on, looks like it was worn by a minion straight out of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers". We're going to obscure his identity for no reason and expect you to trust him. Yay!...
I suspect that it's 'Gorilla Hodor'.
Killing Jon Snow was a poor move, was too telegraphed, wasn't shocking, and now they've lost their best actor. What was the point of him leading the wall and all his victories over the bullies on the wall? What was the point of his entire life? Was it just to get the Wildlings south of the wall? And teach some people how to swordfight? Wow. What was the point of the White Walker Commander forming a personal revenge vendetta against him in episode 7?
This episode just about killed the show for me. Everything else was so good up until now. What the hell happened?

Its just bad ending to a season since it didnt wrap up mich in any storyline and left it 90 percent cliffhanger. The rest of your stuff is just nit picking. Its a show man. Its entertainment and make believe. If it was realistic it would be boring. Of course she misses the candle. It moves the plot. Dany said if you were listening that she was looking for food. She tried to ride the dragon. He wasnt budging. Sansa and theon are a cliffhanger. Of course you know sansa wont be dead. Dont really need to see her get away. Her next story will be in the next season so cant really start anything there. Its just a cliffhanger.
Jon Snow's death may be short lived, as Melisandre should still be around (remember when The Hound fought Beric?).

And since he was gagged, when she accused him of killing Syrio Forel, something we never actually saw happen, (and honestly the guy was just in command, not necessarily the guy who actually killed Syrio, plus he was acting under orders -- it wasn't a personal vendetta kind of thing,) he was gagged so couldn't confirm or deny the accusation.
Arya, you are not ready. They said. You killed a different guy. No big deal though, we'll pay for it with another guy's life. Because why would life balance death? Death now pays for death. We're changing the rules up in here. But we'll force your mouth open just to scare you into thinking the poison was meant for you.
Myrcella's death, telegraphed. Obvious. Lame.
The decision made in Meereen was sloppily written. Tyrion Lannister was very out-of-character, letting Daenerys' lapdog Daario talk circles around him. Oh, and by the way Tyrion speaks Meereenese pretty well, you just found out fifteen seconds ago. It's convenient to the plot we're making up just now. Because all Lannisters are taught Meereenese, a language that would be 99% useless to them. Now it's time for awkward silence as I stare at Grey Worm and Missandei.
Brienne missed the candle by more like 4 seconds. She looked away at the same time as the candle was lit at the same time Stannis' army arrives, at the same time Reek decided to grow balls, at the same time Sansa is trying to escape, so it's even more ridiculous happenstance.
Does that mean the whole point of Brienne standing there wasting her time this entire season (with her poor squire) was so she could just find a wounded and already almost dead Stannis?!?
And why the hell did Stannis continue on with the attack? A big red sign should've been blinking in his head at that point that he's been scammed! I mean, if Stannis felt like since he lost his wife and daughter he had nothing to lose and still believed the Lord of Light would protect his army, they should've made that clear. It almost felt like Melisandre went through that entire scharade that started at the beginning of Season 2 as an elaborate plan just to kill off Stannis and his family.
The jumping off the wall thing was totally stupid too, I agree. Does Theon and Sansa plan to escape with broken legs? Do they think they can get out of the country without being tracked down by all of Ramsay's hunting dogs? Was that REALLY their only option just because "Ramsay was coming"? Why would Sansa trust Theon enough to jump at the same time as him off of a wall high enough to kill you after he just betrayed and shoved someone over a ledge of equal height 5 seconds ago? Can he be so easily redeemed and trusted after betraying her multiple times?...
Talk about a Trust Excercise.
Aren't there tunnels leading outside of Winterfell? Arya found her way outside of Winterfell through the underground tunnels just fine in season 1. I'm just saying you'd think Sansa would be able to use growing up in the place to her advantage and not be forced to jump over a wall.
And what was up with the lead singer of the Rock-a-Fire explosion as Queen Cersei's newest knight? "He doesn't talk (because he took a vow of silence ... puh-lease) and has ridiculous custom armor on, looks like it was worn by a minion straight out of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers". We're going to obscure his identity for no reason and expect you to trust him. Yay!...
I suspect that it's 'Gorilla Hodor'.
Killing Jon Snow was a poor move, was too telegraphed, wasn't shocking, and now they've lost their best actor. What was the point of him leading the wall and all his victories over the bullies on the wall? What was the point of his entire life? Was it just to get the Wildlings south of the wall? And teach some people how to swordfight? Wow. What was the point of the White Walker Commander forming a personal revenge vendetta against him in episode 7?
This episode just about killed the show for me. Everything else was so good up until now. What the hell happened?
Maybe they should've stuck to the book more?!?
