Game of Thrones

^^^ At this point, I'm just enjoying the expensive spectacles that comes with the last couple of episodes every Season LOL

BTW, the character of Sansa is a mess, but Sophie Turner has grown into a stunning-looking woman: Her light eyes, her bone structure and her height. My god, this women is radiant.

 

[Littleathquakes]

oh no I always thought Sophie was gorgeous, she harkens back to those Peter Paul Rubens beauties. I used to swoon over Rob Stark, but lately Jon Snow with that man bun/ponytail is catching my eyes.


RE: Rickon, sadly I don't think Mel can bring him back. I think the unwritten rule is you take one/you get one. Mel sacrificed Shireen so she had a life to give back and it went to Jon. Just like how Thoros can only resurrect lady Stoneheart by taking from Beric Dondarion, and how Danys got 3 dragons from her own dead baby, Khal Drogo, and the witch or whatever that lady was that burned in the pyre. But then again I imagine she can just take one of the living Bolton soldiers and sacrifice him to bring Rickon back. :dunno:

Jon Snow's manbun gives me life

Flawless , flawless finale. The opening scene was so perfect, the last shot was flawless too ! Definitely one of their strongest finale even though there's still major plot holes when it comes to chronoligical logic. Or maybe there's some kind of time difference between all the regions that we are not aware of.

I truly love how the season became a beautiful glorification of women seizing power. For better or worse obviously, when you see how far Cersei is ready to go. But in the same time I can not wait to see the showdon. And it's realy refreshing to see that at stage almost all the women characters have shown how they don't need anyone, especially not a man's help or direction , to do what they want and become who they should be. Female characters have sometimes been treated so poorly, I didn't see it coming and I can't wait for what's to come.


I also liked how they tried to included almost every storyline and build up anticipation for next season. Though I'm a bit scared because they seem to want to shorten the seasons yet so much sh*t is happening. I was a bit hesitant when the season started , and there's still some miss but overall it was fantastic. Stunning direction, gorgeous photography and performances by everyone. I'm still competely fascinated by Sophie Turner not only she's growing up to become an insanely gorgeous young woman but she brings so much to character that could really be frustrating. GottA say though that, the little Lady Mormont is the biggest scene stealer of the season. One of the best child acting I've seen on tv.

Daenerys remains flawless. Emilia Clarke has so much charisma on screen it's insane. I really loved her one on one scene with Thyrion. They have a great chemistry on screen, I can't wait to see more of it.


Cersei remains my guiltiest tv fave. She's beyond ruthless but remains fabulous. Lena Headay deserves even more recognition for all the nuances she brings to the character. I'm eager to see how the dynamic between her and Jamie chnages after what happened and what it means for Jamie & Brienne of course...
Also her looks in the finale gave me so much life ! She was serving some sick Alexander McQueen flair in those black dresses. I'm talking Lee's McQueen of course.

God knows I use to find Kit Harrington and Jon Snow insufferable and never really got his type but everytime he appeared in the last two episode I was drooling. So freaking sexy !! It's probably because of the manbun . Altough you can tell his fate is shifting, the way he's filmed in the last two episode was truly epic.

I also loved that cute scene of Sam in the library. As a big bookworm myself I would've probably cried too. Oh and Lady Tyrell is and will always be the baddest b**ch in all the seven kingdoms.

Yes the finale was amazing ! I really liked the music in this episode... surprising at first to hear piano, but then it just goes perfectly with the scene.

I can't wait to see how the Sansa/Littlefinger relationship is going to evolve in the next season. She deserves to be Queen in the North ! And obviously Jaime and Cersei. I hope he kills her haha !

 

[Phuel]

WTF was that…?

Sansa’s “So sorry I kept the Vale Knights from you— just didn’t trust you, Jon”— with hundreds/ thousands of their men dead, including their own brother and Wun Wun, is easily forgiven… While Melissandre, who because she didn’t rescue Davo’s beloved Shireen from death (why didn’t he take her with him when he left if she was so important to him…?), is banished on pain of death should she return to the North, even though she did bring Jon back from the dead… That’s fair judgement…. So this is the episode that finally turned GoT into a mindless, fluffy, popcorn summer blockbuster akin to Transformers, Fast and Furious and Star Wars LOL

It’s all about those expensive, and impressive-looking fist-pumping payoffs with no logic, reason and any semblance of thought. Nothing makes any sense: The Northern Lords all being swayed by a 10-yo girl to bow before Jon FFS… What exactly has this child contributed to show she even deserves a voice amongst battle-hardened veterans??? What was the point of Varys's little birds tricking Pycelle to the dungeons, and Lancel to the Wildfire to their deaths??? Can’t they be killed with the rest in the Sept??? So we can have a will-he-or-won’t he-be-able-to-blow-out-the-candle-on-time moment? But thank goodness that bore of a man The High Sparrow is gone. He was so boring: So he didn’t want to play Louboutin anymore to shallow Barbies like the Kardashians and Willem Bella and became a religious freak instead…? Good riddance.

The only bit of thoughtfulness in the direction was showing the utter joy, bliss and love with Sam when he revelled in the legendary library of The Citadel; that someone found comfort, peace and meaning in knowledge, unlike so many, is a very nice inclusion.

Logic.

^^^ I'm not even going to touch all the teleporting on this show!

 

[Littleathquakes]

the writer's excuse is that the show, like in the books, happens in time increments - a scene after another scene could've happened weeks/months after. My response: OK, stuff in the book makes sense, though. When Varys leaves King's landing, you don't see him for the rest of the book.

 

[castorpollux]

so is gendry still rowing to king's landing?

 

[Littleathquakes]

^ using GoT's time sequencing, he should've made it to the Wall by now.

 

[BaBorrow]

He should've made it to Florida by now.

 

[Phuel]

You know, the only one that I’m disappointed in seeing gone is Margery. Besides a beautiful woman to look at, I was curious to see where they were going with her playing-the-High-Sparrow storyline. And now that him and his cult are dead… they just offed her— or did they…? The show is so illogical and nonsensical by now, I wouldn’t be surprised to see she survived the blast come next Season.

 

[castorpollux]

I'm pretty sure I saw her vaporized.... Every time I saw her I thought of Natalie Dormer's Anne Boleyn character from the Tudors....

yeah, I don't think anyone made it out of that sept. I was sad to see Maggie go; but kudos to the showrunners. As a book reader none of the prior big shocking events really shocked me. But now that the show is ahead of the books, her death did. I too was hoping her storyline would flesh out a bit more. In fact, everybody in that sept's storylines would've actually been interesting to watch unfold - Loras, Kevan, Mace. And now we're stuck with the Dorne storyline, which is as dull as watching paint dry. not even Olenna can make those people interesting to watch. When it panned into Dorne I literally let out an "ugh" and Vary's delivery of 'fire and blood' was so cringe. Not to mention that bell that rang him in.

 

[Phuel]

Yes, of course they all died in the explosion. But this show and their “logic"… Ramsey and his 20 Good Men decimates an entire army; Arya survives a slow-wrenching gutting by swimming away to jump from 2nd-storey windows, sprint and roll down stairways; cartoon-villain Elleria and her even more cartoony Sand Snakes single-handedly topple a Monarchy; rains of arrows missing Jon; Gendry still rowing...

Clearly saw The High Sparrow blow up like the Jay Davidson alien in the original Stargate movie— it was his only memorable scene in his entire existence on the show (that his his weird manmoobs protruding from his The Row robe). But since everyone loves this show I’m sure he’ll be nominated for his sleep-inducing performance on that stupid cobbler monologue alone.

 

[Littleathquakes]

omg that gave me LIFE. I lived!!

 

[castorpollux]

I wanted to see Arya baking those Frey pies....

How did she gain all that access to the kitchen without anyone noticing? Someone should have noticed her butchering those two corpses into meat pies.

That doesn't make any sense. What is worse is whose face did she take? Arya refuses to kill lady crane b/c she's innocent, yet she can take the face of some riverlands maid without hesitation? Or did she take the face from the house of black and white? If its the latter why would Jaqen let her take the face??

 

[Phuel]

^^^ Don't think! Nothing on this show makes sense anymore if you think logically, reasonably, sensibly LOL Check your brain at the door and just enjoy the expensive spectacle and the (cringe-inducing) one-liners like "That's what I do: I drink, and I know things..."

BTW, apparently Season 7 will only have 7 episodes and will start in the summer rather than spring. It's so apparent without the books to guide them, these people are lost and spiralling into a mess.
