I like fantasy epics, historical dramas, dynastic and internecine batles AND swords and sorcery-dragony type stuff. So it seems on face value that it would be my kind of thing, but I have to confess that from what I have read - reviews, comments, etc - it doesn't appeal.
I know they have heavily drive away from the books now. Characters are dead that shouldnt be some are alive that shouldnt be and so on.
It was confirmed before this season even began that Brandon stark Hodor and Co would not feature at all this series they are on a 1 year hiatus. As where they are in comparison to the books is way far ahead of everyone else. They are essentially bringing everyone else up to speed with where they are.
Finished The Blacklist (US broadcasts) - very interesting finale, setting up an intriguing 3rd series.
Rewatched Shaun of the Dead still hands down one of my fave films. British comedy done right.
It does look really terrible but in a good way.
It's on our must see list.
That episode was what I kind of expected the whole season to be like.
It's a bit irritating that they turn it on in the last few episodes. That's what irritates me about GoT, most of the time it's not that exciting but then they put something exciting at the end of the episode. They do the same thing with the whole season; it gets good at the end.
Obviously you can't have end to end action but I think a lot of the dialogue is pretty weak. Same with most of the acting apart from Tyrion. House of Cards, for example, is all scheming (the parts where people get killed are stoopid) but the acting is brilliant so it keeps you going.
I don't know if you watch Vikings; they really don't have the ability to the type of grand things that GoT does but the acting is better (though maybe a bit overplayed at times).
i enjoyed watching Khaleesi and Tyiron converse, also the Tyrrells Margerie Olana and Little Finger are very good as there is a lot of scheming there.
There is alot of filler but this is because the world is very big. I think without the filler we would be jumping back and fourth between multiple characters to fast people would lose the plot a bit and the story would be rushed for it to converge at one single point.
I like the way it is done, i would like to see the action spread out more we basically had to wait 8 episodes to see what we wanted. Though there was action inbetween it wasn't as explosive or exciting but that just adds to the suspense for when it does happen.
I am not even sure they can top last nights episode in the next 2. But i am sure they will come close.
I will check it out ;ok
Khaleesi, Cersei, Sana, John Snow. They all have one tone/emotion. I can't concentrate when they're on.
I feel like they haven't just killed off all the interesting people, they've killed off everyone who could act.
Maybe I'm overly picky. ;biggrin
I walked straight into that ;doh
That's one of the problems with doing a series based on the books, one chapter will be based on all the goings on in Kings Landing, the next is on the Wall and the next will be over the water with the dragon lady - which could all be happening at the same time. Another chapter will have bits from all places. Rather than try to splice them too much, which could make it all a bit too much of a mix and make the episodes disjointed, the have tried to keep to the way it is in the books.
Outcast - that was one of the problems I initially had with the books, all the big personalities were being killed off - given a couple of the changes they have made, I think there are a couple who will have a different story line in the series.
This whole season has felt a bit like Empire Strikes Back...has been a lot of set up and getting characters into place. I am hoping episodes 9 and 10 are going to be even bigger
