Game of Thrones - HBO part 2 - Part 4

[Matt]

I seem to recall you quitting Glee mid-season last year. Not that I blame you, because Season 3 was even worse.

I don't think you should quit GOT. Especially this year when there are only two episodes left. However, you may in the future just want to wait until the end of the season and watch the whole season in three or four sittings in as many days. I do think the show flows better when you can watch it over the course of a week instead of 2+ months (much like reading a book and certain other shows like The Tudors or Boardwalk Empire).

If you do do that though, avoid spoilers on the final two episodes like the plague. You should not spoil those for yourself until you watch them.

Yep, Glee falls into the Covert Affairs and Smallville category. Actually, it may be a mix of both. There was no one egregious error that the writing staff made...but it seems like every episode written was an error that was so bad it couldn't be forgiven. That is how bad the quality got, plus I was never really into the music, so I walked. Plus, every character that I cared about, it seemed like Murphy went out of his way to make that person entirely unlikable all in the name of propping up Kurt (who I found to be one of the most unlikable, self-righteous characters on the show). So I quit watching.

I disagree with you about Boardwalk Empire. I feel like every episode has enough conclusion that you aren't left thinking "That's it?!?!" (as I often am with GOT) but also always leaves me wanting more and that desire makes the next episode all the better.

I worked so hard to catch up on Glee, just to stop watching mid second season. I couldn't believe how annoying the show suddenly became.

Smallville always hurts me when I think about it. I watched the first five season and change. It wasn't always great, probably not even good, but I enjoyed it. Arrow killed it for me dead.

On Boardwalk. I think it second season was far worse in terms of pacing then this season of GoT and it also fell back on so many cliches. It also made one of the worst decision ever because a certain actor is difficult to work with.

Never could stomach Glee. I like some musicals, but have never liked musical moments on tv. Well, except on Buffy, "They got the mustard out!"

Anyone here watch the Borgais? I was considering a blind buy, because I like the Papal history especially the scandalous bits. Would you say its like the Tudors?

Hey, can we stop talking about Matt already? He has no claim to the Iron Throne or anything

Borgias is greatnss. It is kind of like the Tudors just more focus on the church side of things. If you like the Tudors you should like the Borgias.

Officially, Talisa of Volantis is a new character for the show. However, it's likely that she is based on a different character from the books. As for whom, it should be obvious if you've read the books. If not, no spoilers for you. t:

Seeing as Rob only had one relationship in the books she probably replaces the Frey girl. It's a nice departure from the books. It makes me wonder how they will handle Rob's future. I also noticed that they changed Arya's story around a bit too.

She replaces Jeyne. Not the Frey girl. He is still promised to the Frey girl and Cate reminded him of it a few episodes ago.

One could argue that taking three books to get to the meat of the story is a flaw of the writer, eh?

Well technically, it doesn't take 3 books to get to the meat, it takes two. Blackwater is where it really kicks off, imo. But yes, that could easily be considered a flaw, and I don't think anyone here is really arguing that flaw - the story is a little slow to get going. That's no secret. Hell, I consider the entire first book to be the prologue, essentially. But a slow start is really the case with most of the stories I like (as the aforementioned Buffy example demonstrated), so I guess I'm used to it. I mean, I STILL don't like the first two Harry Potter books either, and I've been a big fan of that series for over a decade now. I guess I'm just totally accustomed to long-form stories taking their sweet time to get to the meat of things, so I don't see it as such a fatal flaw as you do.

Matt is Joffrey.

Snape was still a bit of a creeper who thought he was entitled to Lily.

@Matt: What did you think of Catelyn's reaction to the shade appearing in the tent and murdering Loras's lover? It wasn't what I thought it'd be. In a world where magic has become very scarce, I thought she'd be more scared or shocked.

I think the sex scenes border on gratuitious. For example, in S1 there was a scene where Littlefinger was penning a document at his desk while a couple of his brothel's ****es made out on the couch behind him. It was more funny than arousing in my opinion.

 

[Marvolo]

Are y'all ready for the Battle!?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Every last second is Blackwater apparently.

Got to save the budget you know

 

[DarkSovereignty]

holy.sh**. that was awesome.

 

[Donut]

I am guessing the budget for this episode. Went into that explosion

 

[Marvolo]

HOLY ****ING ****!!! That was EPIC! Wildfire was amazing!

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Complain now.

 

[Sebastos]

Yeah truly ****ing epic stuff, wow.

 

[Dark Sentinel]

That was amazing. No battle fatigue at all, perfectly paced. Should it have been the season finale? Probably, but it was on par with ep 9 from the first season. Just marvelous. :

 

[Dark Sentinel]

Oh, and just for the record, I want a glass of pig****

The Hound isn't exactly a fan of fire. You can imagine why.
