Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 641

she said what's west of westeros not whats south of southeros

 

well I meant south and around Dorne/the arbor haha

 

With a slightly bigger budget, it would've been perfect. The sets didn't feel truly lived in until the second season.

 

Winterfell definitely feels a bit stage set-ish, but both The Wall and Kings Landing were pretty well done I think

 

The Wall was great. Parts of Kings Landing were. Others not as much imo

 

Yeah I was gonna say when I rewatched it for the first time it felt smaller and lower budget from what my mind remembered. Still great though

also I assumed Arya set sail from old town.

 

that would make the most sense, but I guess I was just assuming since she was in Kings Landing and wanted to build a shit and find a crew she would just do it there haha

 

Season 2 is so god damn good. God I hate Renly lol.

 

He is the worst. Just fall in line, back your older brother and save everybody a huge headache, especially Ned

 

He would've inherited the throne too!

 

The Renly getting killed before being able to ally with Robb is so frustrating. Also frustrating that Robb had already made the betrothal to the Freys or Cat could have offered him to Margery right there

 

yeah that was Robb's fatal mistake. Thought with the wrong head and that basically turned the tide of the war, even after he'd bested and captured Jaime.

 

not to rehash this dumb show but it’s so odd we find out the White Walkers basically have their own city and civilization and then they get no development of any kind for like three seasons

 

White Walkers were easily the most intriguing aspect of the show and they shit their entire diaper with how they wrapped them up.

 

The show couldn't make up their mind whether they wanted them to have more meaning or just be a weapon that got out of hand. It was the worst. On one hand, they don't explain anything aside from how they were created (which is fine - just keep their motivation and their backstory simple).

But then on the other, the Night King apparently has an insane grudge against Bran for apparently no other reason than that Bran "holds the memories of man". He's a demon who wants nothing other than destroying humanity, yet he somehow feels so strongly about killing Bran with his own two hands that he gets himself killed, jeopardizing his mission after thousands of years on the first night that he's beyond the wall. The whole thing was so pointless lol

 

the opening scene taking the baby to their “home” is easily the most interested i’ve been in a thread of this show and they completely abandoned it lol

 

I’m sure they’ll come up with a way to bring them back, otherwise why bother

 

We already knew she had these but didn’t realize how bad it was, crazy

 

one of my worst fears

 

Season 1 marathoned yesterday and now Season 2 is on today. This is probably the season I’ve watched the least besides 8, or at least definitely the one I’ve seen the least recently. Lot of good dynamics between characters in this season.

But yesterday I was wondering why I recognized Ser Hugh of the Vale, like “I know I’ve seen this guy in other stuff at some point”….so I googled it today and turns out he was the podcast dude from the 2018 Halloween reboot. Which is funny because when i watched that movie I was thinking “hey this guy looks familiar” lol

 

I rewatched the first few seasons last month as well. GoT might have the perfect pilot episode and probably one of the best opening scenes in TV history right up there with The Wire's Snot Boogy scene.

 

It's true. They really nailed the opening scene in the pilot.

"Do the dead frighten you?"

 

It's a top-tier pilot for sure. My wife started a rewatch recently but got distracted. I think she left off early season three. Seasons two through four were absolutely exceptional and peerless for the genre.

 

Finishing up season 3 on a rewatch today. These early seasons are legitimately some of the best television ever.

 

Yeah as I’ve watched through Season 2 I remembered how much I liked it. It seemed to get rated as the “worst” of the first 4 seasons when people did rankings because let’s face it, 3 and 4 are top tier TV and 1 was a mostly true to the book ace way to start it off. But I think 2 is just as good. Has lots of palace intrigue like season 1, but gives us a lot of great interactions and team ups. Tyrion/Bronn, Tyrion and Cersei, Stannis/Renly/Catelyn, Stannis/Davos, Arya and Yoren, Arya and Tywin, etc. Plus you get Robb kicking ass and all the goings on with his men and the seeds of discord being sewn, and the tragedy of Theon begins. Maester Luwin and Rodrick Cassel are underrated sad deaths
