It certainly was boring.
It certainly was boring.
I agree that the Dorne plot line was better than the Griff / Aegon plot line, but that is damning with extremely faint praise. The Griff / Aegon plot is IMO the single worst plot in the series. I wanted to throw the book across the room when it revealed their identities.
Dorne was dull, added too many new characters…
The episode laid out his motivations- he admired Jon Snow, he dislikes and distrusts Thorne, and he's at the end of his rope. He's not doing anything for the watch. He can leave (maybe- though he thinks Thorne will probably kill him anyway as soon as he leaves the room), but where would he go? His cause has been…
Dorne was a mess in the books as well. By the end of AFFC I was skimming the Arianne chapters. The show's adaptation of Dorne has been a mess as well. The Sand Snake coup d'état is an interesting twist, though, so I'm curious to see where it's going.
Dorne should have been cut from the show altogether (and from the books too).
Dorne, Lady Stoneheart, and Aegon deserved getting dumped on. They're all part of what made books 4 and 5 so much worse than books 1-3.
I wouldn't say they dumped on Stannis. I think they just accelerated his storyline a bit.
Davos is having an existential crisis. Everything he stood for is dead. I guess he saw enough that he liked in Jon Snow to side with him over Ser Aliser, who Davos basically said was an entitled prick of the type who lorded over Davos his entire life.
1. Given that it was the Sand Snakes, the dagger was likely poisoned.
2. ??? - Got me there. I didn't realize he was on a ship. Maybe they were disguised the whole trip?
3. She dropped her ring in the middle of the small clear patch of grass she stood in when the Khal surrounded her and trampled the rest of the…
The MCU should spike the football and have the next cycle of Marvel movies be Avengers vs. the Squadron Sinister. It would be hilarious to see Marvel do a better version of the Justice League than DC itself.
I'm one of the few people who actually liked the mid-2000s Tim Story Fantastic Four movies. I can understand people finding them to be mediocre, but I don't understand the sheer hatred they generate.
A grievous oversight.
Great way to describe it. I feel the same way.
The show felt like a bait and switch. The only thing that I knew about it going in was that it involved Lonely Island and Paul Scheer. I did not know that it would feature none of them. The skits ranged from decent (Suffragettes and Beauty and the Beast) to painful (the pants pooping skit, the mom's new best friend…
Me too. I can't understand the griping about this season. It among the best Sunny seasons of all time.
The Frank part was great. The rest of the episode was uneven, IMO. Not a terrible episode by any means, but I'd say it's a mediocre episode for the series as a whole.
I agree
Charlie was high on paint. Also, remember that one of the central duties of Charlie work is smashing rats with a baseball bat. A strung out Charlie torturing what he believed to be a leprechaun seems believable to me.
This was yet another very good Season 11 episode.
I'd disagree. There have been a few episodes that I thought were simply bad in that I did not enjoy them at all while watching and have no interest in watching again. I listed two, and I'd add the Gang Cracks the Liberty Bell to the list. I'm sure there are a few more if I'd go back and look.
While I don't think that this has been the best season, I think that it is far from the worst. So far I prefer this to Seasons 4, 10, and maybe 5 (at least). Maybe others if I really think about it. I think Mac & Dennis Move to the Suburbs was a top-tier, all-time Sunny classic. This episode and Being Frank are…
