Game of Thrones

overall, I think the show tells a compelling story front to back. And I hope the books can do the same (and I believe they will...eventually). I’m in the last 200 pages of the first book. And I’m already thinking about immediately starting the next one but I may wait...

Anyway, those pissed about this just remind me of the pissed off fans of Star Wars. They took this way too seriously. And the entitlement is absurd.
 
Has anybody watched the trailer for S1 recently? Goosebumps. It made me want to watch it all over again, and I've done two laps already.
 
I think the haters, or any critic, of the season just need some time to let it digest. Though I will say hurriedly laying out that it had been weeks since the stabbing to Sansa/Bran's arrival was especially egregious. I would have loved to have 1 episode at least to let that moment sink in and get some character reactions, including an explanation for why Jon Snow wasn't just immediately rage-murdered by Greyworm/others after his unconditional heel turn for Dany. It seemed that all of 3 people in the city were against Dany at that point. These moments in particular are where the books will enhance the TV moments if/when it is released.

Does anyone else just want to know what happened when Tyrion took a jackass and a honeycomb into a brothel???

Well, I saw this on reddit...so it must be true. :D

Madame: What can we do for you?
Tyrion: I need a woman to lay with, for mine has left me.
Madame: Whatever for? And what's with the honeycomb and the mule?
Tyrion: My woman found a genie in a bottle, and he granted her three wishes. The first was for a house fit for a queen, so he gave her this damn honeycomb. The second wish was that she have the nicest ass in all the land, so he gave her this damn donkey...
Madame: And what about the third wish?
Tyrion: Well... she asked the genie to make my c*ck hang down past my knee.
Madame: Well that one's not so bad eh?
Tyrion: Not so bad!? I used to be six foot three!

Yea I think he did think he was staying until he got there and saw Tormund waiting for him

i mean, jon has shown he is no good at keeping secrets. so if it was a bit of a ruse to get him north, no one was going to tell him until they had to.

it was also very in character for him to think arya would just come visit him. despite his love for his sisters, arya especially, he was never good at knowing them. or anything. *cue ygritte*

I'm glad that Tormund didn't say anything at the end, felt that it would've cheapened the moment (like friggin' Euron and his 'I'm in the man that killed Jamie Lannister' bit), but because of how this season has gone I really just wanted him to ask Jon, "is the big woman still alive?"

As soon as they showed him my girlfriend and I both said "Did you bring the big woman with you?" haha

I'll never understand how people can get so mad they froth at the mouth and post massive rants over a TV show.

Some feel being a fan means you have ownership of the direction of how your favorite show should turn out. It's the same weirdness with the people who went ape-s over The Last Jedi.

Eh, it's more that the show drifted from a generally solid adaptation of some very complicated source material to a Flanderized approximation of that source material. I was happy to go on the ride, but it's still a bummer that what began as a gourmet banquet ended with a nicely plated Hostess Fruit Pie.
 
I enjoyed the finale. Like the other episodes this season, I feel like it will improve with repeat viewings.

I like the makeup of the small council now, even though I can't imagine Bronn is too qualified to be Master of Coin. HBO should make a spinoff comedy series of just small council meetings with that group!
