I don't know. I've enjoyed every bit of Dany and Tyrion's interactions, except for the silly beginning of last week's episode. It's refreshing to see them have someone to genuinely confide in, and there's more chemistry and believably in their exchanges than in most of the show's duos. Though admittedly Tyrion became

This episode made little sense in connection with the rest of the season and there were definite flaws within the episode, but taken on its own it was one of the series' best, most satisfying episodes. Still, a disappointing season. These writers have no finesse. I remain annoyed by the half-baked paths my favorite

As much as I've hated on this season and much of its fan service quality I actually liked that scene for the most part. It was well paced and felt earned.

This is pretty much what I meant. I wanted something to remind me of when I didn't just watch this show for outbursts of action or "surprise" twists. A battle/action driven penultimate episode can be satisfying. But this season didn't earn it. The momentum wasn't built. The characterization wasn't fleshed out. The

This was a special episode as in a "Look at how expensive this all looks" way. But it didn't really make any sense out of the season or add any depth. And it wasn't emotionally cathartic or upsetting for me the way many other episodes 9's have been, because every element was predictable/conventional. And I've never

The beginning of those stories aren't predictable but the way they developed and ended definitely were, but more importantly, they were stupid. I don't care too much about predictably if you'e giving the audience tension, building towards something and giving the characters something that will have legitimate effect

This is the episode I realized that they've taken what has been overall the show's four best characters (Tyrion, Cersei, Jamie, Arya) and stuck them all in droning, predictable, pointless stories… for two straight seasons.

My reasons (most but not all): Don't care about Blackfish. Still don't care about the Hound when Arya isn't by his side. That was a ridiculous and dull and super long exchange between Tyrion, Greyworm and Missandei. Cersei still doing dumb sh*t for no real reason. That's how Arya's story in Braavos ends? Couldn't they

This. The Suburbs is bloated, mushy and banal, and it just lacks great songs.

I think I prefer EM as well, though I was obsessed with "When the Pawn…" as a teenager. "The Idler Wheel…" is definitely her best work, maybe of the best album of the decade.

Nope. The skinny scarves slayed, particularly on Lorelai.

Eh, I didn't say that they are of similar quality, just that their structures and characterizations are equally frustrating. However, I don't think GoT these past few seasons is much better than True Blood at its best with the exceptions of a couple "Hardhome" level episodes, and I was never a fan of that series. If

Even with the Iron born being hard asses it made no sense for them to just not care that he murdered their leader. I assume he already had a significant amount of people on his side. (You have to assume a lot this season).

The point is his actions in the past affected the future. It was already destined or whatever is beside the point. And it's not like how Hodor became Hodor is a question that had to be answered. It was a silly answer to a question that didn't need answering. But this isn't one of the biggest problems I have with the

I admit that I don't remember anything about that episode beyond the memorable ending. Yet, still, why does he support a leader with dragons and whose family has a magical connection even if it's assumed to be folklore?

I wish I could just let live and enjoy how silly this show has become. But as a fan of this show's first three seasons (still had quite a few problems with the show then, but I was a fan) and as a fan of well made television genre shows there's just so much that's leaving me wanting or rolling my eyes. I'm left too

Unfortunately, the show never touched on that until this episode. And it seems weird that a magic hating dude is supporting someone with dragons.

It revealed that Bran went back to alter history. The rest is just semantics. And this might not be the end of that particular device. Then again, none of this time travel/folding stuff has done anything for me. I think that mainly has to do with the artless and rushed way it's being presented.

For me it's that something like being able to go back in time and alter history needs to be established earlier than season six. And it just doesn't fit the universe of GoT.
