Be Excellent To Each Other

He was also in Queer As Folk many years previously.

EXACTLY. Within seconds I thought "LINE UP AND SPEAR THEM ALL TO DEATH". Infact I watched a bit of Kings of Kings (1961) over Easter, and the Roman soldiers did just that:



(the ones on the walls just stood there and stopped people escaping. The mine line of soldiers just marched from left to right, poking everyone to death as they mercilessly steamrolled over them)





I don't know if you're a book reader (BOOK READERS FUCK OFF), but I don't think it's a spoiler to say that all of the "sand snakes" are the numerous (all female?) children of that guy who got his eyes squeezed out and that angry Spanish-styled woman. They're technically all illegitimate bastards as they're not married, hence all of them being called blah-blah Sand. The Dornish people don't care for such legalities as paramaroes are normal there, or something, so it's ok to have a million illegitimate offspring. All of that is in the show, but it's hurried, parts of it were last season and there's a million characters so I don't think it's easy to pick up on.


ps: I mainly remember Littlefinger from Queer as Folk. He was the main gay guy who taught the young guy how to bum properly. Formative stuff that was.

All that stuff re: the Sand sisters is correct, yes. And it's not a book spoiler (I've never read the books), it was mentioned (albeit very briefly) last season.

But what about the people who haven't watched last season!?!?!

Heh.

When is a decent time limit to not use spoiler tags?

"Less than a year," I reckon.

I too thought the Unsullied getting stabbed by a bunch of twats was somewhat unbelievable. Especially as an old man on his own with a sword then wades in and kills almost all the baddies.

Ser Barristan Fucking Selmy!

FTFY.

Spoilers!!!!11!!!

Stop reading the thread until you've seen this week's episode, weirdo.

I was taking the piss out of DavPaz, the whiny little bitch.

I had watched up to episode 4 a couple of weeks ago, as I had access to evaluation streams of the leaked episodes. It should have been obvious I'd seen the episode as I was commenting on things that happened in it.

Not sure I deserved that

Was it not you complaining whining about spoilers to Guardians of the Galaxy the other day?

I don't know about anyone else here but I FUCKING LURVE Game of Thrones (I've read the books, dontchaknow) so why is the latest season a big bag of tripe. I'm loving it, of course, but it has lost most of the gritty feeling and atmosphere that it once had for me. I want fights handled in the same way as Ed Stark vs. Jaime Lannister fight: Completely unfair and someone gets poked nastily. So why am I treated to the Unsullied and Barristan having a fight that wouldn't look out of place in a Errol Flint film? How come I'm treated to a terrible Stone Man fight? Where's the big guy squeezing someone's head until it pops? I don't know, it's all gone a bit, erm, like a film maybe? Something just isn't clicking with me at all. I might have to watch the last one again to see whether I can figure out what these feelings are that are making me a bit mardy about the direction that it is currently going in. I'll tell you who would catch the brunt of that ill feeling though: Brienne. You just watch the scene with the inn keeper and tell me that she isn't a terrible actress. Hmmmm?

Dude, did you just diss Errol Flynn?

"fewer"

Classic.

This series certainly isn't gripping me as much as the previous ones have. It's still good TV by any metric but it's not great by GoT standards.

Er hasn't pretty much every season had a bit of a lull in the middle where they are moving the pieces around and setting stuff up for MAJOR EVENTS later on in the series.

None of the seasons have been all out constant action. It is a meandering show, and I really like that about it.

I'm finding the show pretty dull this season, which is odd, as a lot of it is new material to me! I'd like the show to be more than 10 episodes per season, to properly give each storyline enough time. (I've wanted that from season 1). But we only have 10.

So why do they waste screen-time with useless crap e.g. Grey Worm falling in love with Missandei?

Miranda had cracking tits

Miranda shoudn't skip lunch.

And i hope Roose Bolton's new son will be named Michael.

HIP BONES

Urg.

Kit Harrington has moved in around the corner. He now drinks in my local.

I thought the Stone Men bit looked like a bit of an afterthought, but was needed to give Beard Outcast a poorlies. Bolton continues to be superbly creepy. Sansa is getting a bit better, too. Arya and Jon are the best bits. The necromancy bit at the end of the other week was a bit shit.

And who gives a crap about Bran, right?

You should. Colon Cancer is no joke, man.

It was well set up with Stannis talking about his daughter last week, though. Also Stannis knows how to halt the progress of the disease... I wonder if that means Ser Friendzone will need to choose between the cure and his Khaleesi.

Cor, yeah! I should pay more attention but Miranda.

I have just passed this news on to Chloe. She is now very interesting in visiting you, and maybe going for a drink in your local pub, but she doesn't mind if you don't fancy that bit, she'll go alone.

Heh. Considering the nomadic lifestyle most successful actors lead, it could be a total crapshoot catching him in there. i know his address as my friend's wife was the estate agent who sold the house he bought. It might be better camping outside that

My wife seems to be the only woman is the universe who doesn't fancy Jon Snow. She finds his haircut silly.

No, I don't find him attractive, either. He has an attractive character, but his looks don't make my heart flutter.

Alright, 'darlin'?

*melts*

Obviously MaliA is a beautiful man, in both body and spirit.

Even I reckon he's good looking.

And your taste in men is terrible, usually.

GREAT EPISODE!

Also, that will become famous for contrasting one of the better actin scenes this season with one of the worst.

Reek! It rhymes with BLEAK

To quote Ramsey himself "if you think this is going to have a happy ending, then you haven't been paying attention."

It doesn't have to end happily. The evil cunts just need to die

That was excellent. Horrifying, but excellent.

Someone taught sansa a tiny bit about how to act, clearly, as for once she wasn't visibly confused about where she was and why people in funny costumes were talking to her.

I still maintain that Sansa is doing a capable job.



But that Lily Allen brother, he surely is an amazing actor.

Great for little finger that had the best quote of the episode:



And all hail the COCK MERCHANT!

Superb episode!

It had a couple of moments but overall I think it's all gone a bit shit and boring. Certainly haven't been left desperately wanting more at the end of each episode like in earlier seasons. Obviously I can see that they are setting up various pay-offs but it'll have to get really good to redeem itself after a mostly forgettable first half of the season.
