Game of Thrones

[Chux]

I can't. Explain.

I got them as gifts, I meant to read them, can't be bothered to.

Maybe later?

From what I recall, Old Dude was surrounded on all sides when he died. I don't see how anyone realistically walks away from that. I also recall him cutting threw several dudes before being surrounded. I don't see that as dying like a "bitch."

I was about to post this, this sounds like a complete over reaction. I thought he was a bad mother fucker in that scene. He hears trouble and heads right for it. Walks into that hallway and starts going to war. He killed a pile of dudes, got stabbed multiple times and killed even more. He was only ovewhelemed because he was bleeding out. He's a man, not Thor.

Well, I wish you would have. You'd probably have used the correct version of "through."

Red Witch is looking hot these days. Did I just incrementally tick over in age such that I appreciate older women now? I remember her as being odd looking in earlier seasons.

huh, she was always smoking hot

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

She is definitely what I'd call "oddly hot." In some shots her face is way angular yet somehow elongated. Other shots she looks fine. Her body is always smoking though.
I just caught the replay. I counted 14 harpys taken out before old dude falls. What a bitch.

JESUS FUCK. It's not the fact that he dies. It's not the fact that he PROBABLY dies in the next book. It's the fact that the show writers have been blowing him up to be this mighty bad ass (and rightfully so, because he is) for the last 4 seasons, and then out of nowhere he dies like a little bitch. That's just bad writing on the show's part. Really bad.

You want to talk about the acting too? Those ladies they found to play the Sand Snakes are phenomenal actors, top notch acting all around.

I don't see how killing 20 men and saving Grey Worms ass could in any way be construed as him dying like a little bitch. BTW I think Worm saved his ass too. He could die from his wounds but I imagine he'll get some last words with Khaleesi. His death makes way for Jora's return.

Excited to see Westeros characters finally meet with Khaleesi actually.

Vent all you will about loving the books but there's nothing wrong w what's going on in the last episode.

Personally I loved seeing Brom (Bron?) fuck shit up.

Could you guys please not turn this into a thread that I can't even read if I'm caught up with the TV show?

Maybe later?

I dunno. The first three are good (the third is really good). Nobody really disagrees there. The fourth and fifth are half and half among readers. No matter what, they are long reads.

From what I recall, Old Dude was surrounded on all sides when he died. I don't see how anyone realistically walks away from that. I also recall him cutting threw several dudes before being surrounded. I don't see that as dying like a "bitch."

In the books (and even in the show) he has this tremendous reputation. I think people wanted to see all the talk about how great he is lead to more. I'm okay with that having happened but I can't lie and say it was disappointing at first. I would have liked the scene to be just a little better lit even at the expense of belief and have him take down a good deal more people (yes, I know he took at lot down). I've gotten over it, of course, but it would have been nice. The music helped.

I was about to post this, this sounds like a complete over reaction. I thought he was a bad mother fucker in that scene. He hears trouble and heads right for it. Walks into that hallway and starts going to war. He killed a pile of dudes, got stabbed multiple times and killed even more. He was only ovewhelemed because he was bleeding out.

Again, I think the book readers wanted more from him. It's hard to impress that "myth" around him without reading the books. He was like, really really really badass in the books and really really really underused in the show (see Ser Grandfather). Also, that scene was shot oddly.

Sorry. Are you referring to the stuff in spoiler tags or the plot lines they've eliminated?

AA?

Azor Ahai. I don't believe the show has mentioned him by name, it's just been Mel talking about how Stannis is the Lord of Light.
