I know nothing will ever top Dorne, and Bravo's was nowhere near as bad, but my god, how the Waif would've been in great company among Ellaria and the sand Snakes. If she killed them, I'd of forgave everything . At least the fight scenes with the Waif is more enjoyable than the Sand Snake's. Way more!!

Upon my rewatch of this episode I've realized something, once again.
Tommen was, and is, and continues to be a little bitch. I don't even like the Lannisters, so I should be cheering as they all fall apart in Kings Landing. But I at least like Jaime, so I feel bad for him that his son is worthless.
I can't wait to see his golden shroud, as predicted by Maggie the Frog. He needs to get out of the way of the story and just die already.

Love the slash over the entire image. Those things are extraordinarily clever.

Oooh! A candle with wax. I thought it was a pint of beer until I read the part at the bottom.

And again he completely misses the point with Jon's character development and has to snidely throw that in when he's not even in the ep. I preferred the impression video you linked the other day tbh. Also it stands to reason that the other guys the Hound killed who didn't first confront Brother Ray in 607 were also involved with the massacre. It would've taken that many of them (plus the ones who were hanged) to carry that out. So again he's overextending his critiques to lay the negativity on thick. I may have to make another mocking vocaroo of this fucking guy.

I think this is indicative of someone who has spent a lot of time on reddit and westeros.org where the hate is strong. It's starting to rub off on him and my motto from Olenna on that is always the same.

I liked him for his blandly analytic commentary. Humour he should leave the actually funny Aussie youtuber. From him it just seems forced.

It was definitely his deadpan voice and analytical 'theory' crafting that got him popular, not these stupid reviews. He's not good at them like he is explaining the complicated backgrounds and theories of the books vs. show. He should stick to what he does best and stop trying to copy someone who is genuinely and naturally hilarious like Ozzy man.

https://www.reddit.com/r/freefolk/comments/4o163r/this_interview_by_episode_7_8_director_is_stupid/ Still less dumb than Alex Graves, though. Nothing will beat Alex Graves unfortunate statements after that Jaime and Cersei scene or his "Brienne is a lesbian" debacle. or everything he said in the 4.10 commentary. or joking with sophie about sansa getting a love interest in s5.

I thought Alt Shift X's criticisms were mostly well-explained even if I don't agree with all of them. The point about The Hound is a good one, I think, it's kind of problematic that The Hound just kills four guys so brutally yet it's kind of underplayed - even played for comedy, actually.
Reddit, though, turns into a complete shitshow when something happens that the hivemind doesn't like. Mark Mylod is now a punching bag for them in the same way that Alex Graves was, and whilst Alex Graves clearly made himself look like a fool in interviews and such, he directed some of the best episodes of the show, which is conveniently forgotten. Criticism is obviously fine but it's ugly when you have an entire community snidely piling onto one person.

Criticism is obviously fine but it's ugly when you have an entire community snidely piling onto one person. I think a bunch of what he said was disingenuous. Especially the bit about GrrM's supposed non-violence when really GrrM objected to Vietnam specifically but is not a full-blown pacifist in all cases. He also didn't bother delving into why it's pretty clear that those guys Sandor killed were the ones responsible for the massacre of Ray's group, since those three dudes that threatened the community didn't act alone. Which since those were the guys responsible for killing a fuckton of innocents, is not the sort of violence that GrrM rejects in principle. And Sandor is still very plainly much more reflective than he ever was previously and his whole scene with Thoros and Beric was a reflection on his character development or rather the choice to join a community and its failure and then his possible future decision to now join the BWB. Alt Shift X didn't bother engaging with any of that and instead went with the reddit talking points and preaching to the choir. But I'm nowhere near as mad at Alt Shift X as I am at the redditors for the bullshit they're throwing at Mark Mylod. These people fundamentally don't understand what a director even does. Some of them think GrrM's directed episodes or call D and D "the directors" half the time. I guess their understanding of what director does comes from film and a limited understanding of film at that. They don't understand that TV is not a director's medium first and foremost and that someone like Mylod or Graves has nothing to do with the writing process and only renders what is written. While ep. 503 is the only 10/10 episode Mylod's directed imo, this criticism of him there is incompletely unwarranted. He didn't decide that Arya would be stabbed. He just directed the scene in 607 as Cogman wrote it for him. It's also funny to me that people are mad at 608 for a problem in 607's writing...but that's a whole other story.
