[SPOILERS] Episodes 1-4 talk

I'll might re-watch as well. 

I I wanted to pay attention to any parallels that D&D had for Dany and Jon but I was so excited to watch the episodes I didn't pay much attention to that. 

The acting has been much better this season, I can tell already. 

BTw, what did you think of the election?

Not sure about Dorne there wasn't a lot to go on. Not liking the SS that much. Obara looks so tiny which just takes me right out of those scenes. Not sure about the accents they all seemed a bit samey so far and painting by numbers but that's probably mainly because it was such small screentime.



I loved love the Arya stuff, although Braavos seemed a bit sunny to me and more Mediterranean than I was expecting. I've always seen it more Amsterdam. Not much has really happened there yet though. Im wonderingg if the Waif will probably be a bit of an amalgamated presence to take over from brusco's daughters and the various women Arya meets as well as to the waif. She was a grown woman and quite mean in the beginning so not quite what I was expecting but we'll see where that goes. Maybe she'll start to teach Arya later on.

LOL  I only picked thru the first three so far.  I put my response in spoilers and then..see if the episode threads are the right place for us to go.

Am I the only one that didn't watch them?

True about the politicking but overall, it had enough suspense for TV,I MHO   Sam 's speach was good, he sold it. 

I also really ally liked how Shireen is teaching Gilly how to read. I just love that little girl. 

Yeah, when I saw that last night, I knew.....that the Tyrion whitewash cries would begin.  I kinda can't blame people for it.  I just started the beginning of four and WOW, I am LMAO at Jorah just throwing him around.  Iain Glenn seems brimming with anger and must be having some fun.  

I only picked my way through WF as some of the stupidity of it is cringeworthy.  Roose shines, but just because he can make something of it isn't enough for me.  When we went to the shot of jealous Myranda in one episode, I moved on...............

Without getting too much into the details:

1. Meereen is Amazing - it's the most real and fleshed out arc they have. Emilia needs to stop doing the stunned-eye shit when she's on the ebony bench.
2. Brienne & Pod were great - except they should have been following the Arryn litter not... sitting down at an inn and running into them randomly.
3. Jaime and Bronn were pretty solid - my favorite moment was Jaime's hand blockage.
4. The Wall has it's Great, its Unnecessary, and its Failings. - They really dropped the ball on the line from Mel. "You know Nothing, JS"
5. Tyrion is what I pretty much expected. Solid - Illyrio's suffers from not having Illyrio. They should have just gone to Volantis straight up instead and fleshed that city out more.
4. King's Landing is fucked beyond belief. - Not just from a change aspect, but it's boring, and thrown together like it was reorganized and written by a squirrel with hayfever. It looks rushed like it had half of its scenes cut because they sucked, making it even worse.
5. Where is Winterfell? I kept looking for this storyline but I couldn't find it. I think I may have noticed a scene where there were some flayed bodies were being hanged and I caught a glimpse of Reek looking at them, but then it went away and I thought I might have been hallucinating. I'll keep my eyes peeled and hopefully Winterfell shows up at some point.
6. Anyone who complains about the Sandsnakes based on what they've actually seen so far is a terrible reviewer and should be euthanized. - They had half a scene where two of them were just background characters. They didn't have enough time yet to even present themselves in anyway let alone "B-Movie bad girls."
7. The execution of Littlefinger and Sansa so far ranges from some satisfactory to bad.

Guys how was THE NOD?

I've hopped and skipped all around, havent' seen that part yet, LOL
