I don't have anything to add to the discussion other than to say this show has thus far exceeded my expectations greatly. I'm in with both feet.

Who knew such a small thing like a Valaryan steel dagger could change the course of history multiple times over the years?

Man. Great episode.
They’re doing a LOT of little things right. That IMO is what makes GOT work. The little shit that is compelling draws you in and pulls your focus away from “ Am I really watching a show about a 700 foot tall ice wall and dragons?”. The big shit, no matter how good the story is doesn’t work without the little shit and that’s what the later seasons were missing. But man this is doing it in spades. The nuance when they all walked onto the deck for the funeral was just excellent filmmaking. So much nuance and tension in a layered scene was so good. And the climax scene there were so many little details like Alicent knocking over Viserys (that maybe the thing that kills him? Nice) and the Lord Commander of the Kings Guard has to tend to him and can’t stop ser Christian (despite yelling at him exactly how I yell at my kids) that causes Daemon to step in and stop him. So ****ing good. Yes the central conflict between the two women (plus all it represents) was excellent but the little bits are what float the boat. That’s what keeps viewers hooked IMO. |

Yeah, pretty sure that was referenced. Looks exactly the same.

The most non-dork-friendly dork IMO is Emergency Awesome. New Rockstars channel has better breakdowns, especially with regards to music and visual production that adds a lot of layers to a good show, but you have to wade through a LOT of non-dork-friendly content to find the good stuff. |

Is this worth pursuing? I'm half way through episode three, sort of have lost interest.

Viserys was the only decent person on the entire show but it also made him a weak king. Now I just hope everyone dies.
Martin is a bit of a troll, he wants you to feel like shit for caring about decent characters. He likes to redeem the scumbags that aren’t worthy of redemption. I’m on to his bullshit now. Last edited by kcpasco; 10-09-2022 at 09:05 PM.. |
