A Game of Thrones

I had high expectations for the latest episode, because I read elsewhere that it's I wasn't ready for THAT though. Nope. Yet it proves that this show is really unpredictable (if you haven't read the books ofc) and anything can happen

Unless some twat spoils the whole of season 03 in a couple of words in the comments on a torrent... Yup, that sucked Couldn't unsee, just wanted to know if the quality was good

Anyhow, still a surprise... WTF!

Pretty poor episode in my opinion.

Yeah wow cool everyone died

but this 3rd season just ain't as good as the first or second. Very up and down.

dux It's because the plot isn't going anywhere and never has. I wonder if he actually pull anything together?

It's kinda cool for the suspense and what's around the corner and all that but there's no arcs. Or at least never any closure so that's why it feels there are no arcs, perhaps they'll come...

I like LOTR style of storytelling more

In Game of Thrones everyone just keeps on dying and everything is super random, it's more of a cheap shock factor imo. I mean that's cool for some drama but all-the-time, really? What's up with the white walkers and all that world-building, all for naught? We'll see I suppose. It's still enjoyable but it could be much more imo, I hope it actually goes somewhere. A lot of it feels like filler episodes...

Did someone just accuse Game of Thrones of having no arcs?

Lol

Alright, looked into the exact wording of story arcs and seems like it's different from what I thought it was. I meant that none of the different threads in the story line are finished, some even severed. Right now there's no closure and that leaves me somewhat dissatisfied after it now being the 3rd season already. I thought you could only call it an arc if there's an end to it.

I really like the character arcs though.

Jaime Lannister

has a good one, he's changed a lot and you've learned a lot regarding his past. I don't get that same satisfaction from the story cos I have no idea where it's going, but perhaps that's part of the charm for some people.

I said random cos it feels like reality-tv Westeros, it's just different stuff going on at the same time but I didn't find any deeper meaning so far. It's interesting, for sure, but the longer the series drags on the more I feel I'm looking AT the things on the screen rather than being invested in it (apart from the shock factors) cos nothing feels like it happens for a reason. I hope everything is leading to some sort of finale but how am I supposed to know that if I haven't read the books. Hence why I brought up the LOTR style of writing, you know what needs to happen and the journey is the story. I don't like being left in the middle of events, hence why I said a lot of it feels like filler episodes. Perhaps I'm just not intellectually capable of pulling all the different stories together and am missing something.

Stannis' war didn't go anywhere. Now Rob's war gone to shit as well. Iron Isles doing their shit. I dunno what the message is, if there even is any? Hence why I said reality tv, it's a very realistic approach and has its certain appeal because that's how stuff works in the real world but I'd rather have some idyllic (not sure that's the word?) overarching storyline.

I'm sorry Lukas As I mentioned, I really like just watching the show, and I really REALLY like the fact that it doesn't have the typical "go to mount doom and war is over" story, but instead focuses on political relations and people fucking people over for their own gain. I don't want to over analyze it

I know that feeling, Chimeray, happened to me with other shows, but I don't feel the same about GoT (yet).

Fuck's sake! Some stupid cunts on Facebook posting unmarked spoilers, time to go on a deleting spree...

I'm still surprised that people don't see the deaths coming. Must watch the shows half asleep or just pay zero notice as they are too busy remembering a scene with tits and ass.

Saw this...it's both incredibly disgraceful and hilarious. Wait for the end...because just when you start saying "omg that's shit parody and unfunny" at about 1:40 it goes into near double rainbow territory.

Hmm...I see huge arcs and major character development. And no, I have not read ahead into the books. Arcs aside, the dialogue scenes and the acting (some of the acting, at least) is awesome. Varys' dialogue is just sickingly witty and superbly acted.
