And Berrick keeping her alive.

All the build up of the importance of the red god and that's the contribution? I was entertained by the episode. The writing of the episode and how they got there was awful in my eyes though.

Like I said initially, I agree with pretty much everything written in that article. Virtually any of the fan theories, ANY of them, would have been better for the story. NK goes to KL? Better. Bran is a participant in any way? WTF not? Every single tactical decision regarding the battle was pretty senseless.

At this point with D&D I expect a midevil version of an action movie. The story isn't driving any more. Sapochnik thumbs up, D&D thumbs down

Yeah - Mel telling Arya to literally end winter sounds like a contribution to me.

Why Not? 05-01-2019 11:13 PM

Yeah that contribution literally saved mankind so, um, kinda important

So I watched it again tonight. I wasn’t going to because it’s o damned intensive but I did. And I recommend it. There is a ton of stuff I missed. And the timing of things was different when you’re not wracked with tension.

And I got to pay more attention to and appreciate some of the finer details and the music.

Credit to the New Rockstars channel review but I didn’t realize they hadn’t used piano in the whole series except in the Light of the Seven episode when Cersi blows up the sept of Baylor. That corresponded with the arrival of winter. Maybe this piano score corresponds with the end? IDK. But the music - and sometimes silence was really good.

On the music note the episode featured that same noise which sounds like a jet going into freefall that the dark knight used. That Sound just puts tension in my body. ****ing Christ man.

Ha. The second bar is something called burlington bar. They have some pretty cool reaction videos throughout the series. You see the same people there every week so pretty cool to see the reaction of those really emotionally invested in the show. Too bad they didn't think of that idea during the red wedding.

Too many of those reaction videos are people seeking their 3 mintues of fame. But, the Burlington Bar was doing that before it became a thing on youtube. Those people are real hard core GOT fans.

Shit writing. This show jumped the ****in' shark once they ran out of book material. Same fate as The Walking Dead. Sad

This is why I'm not writing off this show.

The journeys of the characters has always been what has driven this show - and that focus by D&D hasn't wavered. You could not have asked for a better arc from Theon (or better acting from Alfie mother****in' Allen). Love that he went down like a badass.

He also faced the exact same situation he faced with Yara the season before. He had to choose between instant death or fleeing, he died trying to save humanity.

RIP Theon.

No the show is done, literally. Alfie made his character develop not the trash writing. You will be disappointed.

I hate people who talk (or worse, ask questions about the plot) during movies or TV shows. I wouldn't torture myself by attending something like this.
