Darkest timeline averted. Time to shave the goatee.

Sure, and I get it. But if you just held up a picture of a wight from season 2 and the skinless wight from season 4 episode 10 and asked a person who didn't watch the show what they saw, they would respond "zombie and a skeleton." So while in show cannon they might be the same thing, they do not look like the same

I liked Feast a lot, I think Dance is where it got unfocused, which is odd considering that's where all the main characters were. I may be in the minority, but I thoroughly enjoyed the Dorne and Iron Islands stuff. They both have very unique cultures that are worth exploring. I hope to see Aeron initiating some

Fair enough. I just think he's still alive because if he were dead it would kind of remove the importance from all the times he says "Today is not the day I die." Based on the amount of times he says that, I have to assume his death will be significant, or he'll at least say "Today IS the day I die."

Jojen is still alive in the books. I don't hate everything they change from the books, but sometimes they change simple things for no discernible reason. Example, when Dany stages the slave revolt in Meeren. In the book, they free all the fighting pit slaves, famous warriors trained in arms. In the books they free

It's not hard to make someone with two eyes look like they have one eye, I didn't need the root growing through his face. I'm just saying, if he's going to say the "see everything with 1000 eyes and 1," then you should probably make a bigger effort to give him 1 eye.

2. Agree completely, and it sucks as a Jamie fan.

The wight walkers are the blue eyed demon type things. They control an army made up of wights, or the undead. Don't ask me why he named 2 similar things wights and white walkers. Wights are vulnerable to fire, white walkers are vulnerable to dragon glass. The skeletons, I believe, are supposed to represent really

Sure it feels good now, but you don't think there are potential plot points steaming from Jamie thinking Tyrion killed his son and Tyrion thinking Jamie was complacent in the gang rape of his wife? I feel like this could fundamentally change the character's trajectories.

It's just the whole thing is kind of confusing spacially. First Tyrion is in a dungeon, then he's at a staircase, then he walks the other way and comes through a hole in the floor, which is in a room with lion stuff in it. An astute viewer I guess could piece together that this is the room Tywinn writes all his

The whole Jamie-Cercei-Tyrion relationship is kind of jacked at this point. Jamie is still having sex with Cercei, even though she is an epic bia and just rail roaded an innocent Tyrion. At this point in the books, I feel like Jamie is thoroughly disgusted by Cercei. Then Tyrion and Jamie part on good terms. You

It's a good thing Shae didn't scream or anything. But then again, the show did a poor job of establishing that Shae was in Tywinn's bed, so maybe it wouldn't have mattered.

I don't know why they changed that Bran scene but I'm with you. If they had used wights instead of skeletons a bunch of better things happen in the scene. First, wights are established, so it's not throwing another big new fantasy element into that scene. Second, since it is established that wights are weak to

Was anyone as bothered as I was that the three eyed crow had two working eyes?

No, you didn't hurt my feelings. I just think your complaints are pretty nit-picky. If your original argument had been that the Ygritte thing was corny, a trope, and off book, I would have just agreed with you. But you said none of that in your OP. You made a bunch of points (some wrong) about how bad their

Are you complaining that the thing on the TV show looks better for TV? Instead of the scythe, which I still think was close enough to the wall that the chain would hit any climbers, you would prefer like a small pendulum? For realism's sake. On the show with the 700 foot wall made of ice, dragons, resurrections,

Do you think putting someone in charge that doesn't believe in giants is an example of good leadership from Slynt? That seems like yet another example of poor leadership.

It didn't appear to in my opinion.

Do you think their leadership was better when they were under the command of an experience Lord Commander who trusted Jon Snow, or when they didn't have a defined Lord Commander at all, the guy de facto in charge (Slynt) all the brothers hate, and the de facto number two is from Kings Landing and doesn't understand

I happen to think the writing is pretty good, that's why I'm still watching in episode 9 of season 4. Since you don't think the writing is good, why do you watch it, if you don't mind me asking? Also, I'd love to get some examples of better writing in TV epic fantasy. I can't think of any off the top of my head but
