    Dinkman's the greatest actor on the show, theres no question. His theatrical training gives him an unbelievably strong presence when he wants it. However, its unfortunate for two reasons; 1) hes not supposed to be the "star" of the series, and 2) its going to be insanely awkward having to keep tabs on him soon.
    I keep hoping against hope that they use Natalie Dormer for something other than window dressing, I fear this will not come to pass though. Girl's got chops. But as to the storyline, it just always felt like a re-hash of the actual War of the Roses, except we get dragons with this one. I didn't read the books and have no intention of it but I have to imagine somewhere down the line we get a St. George too.

    You are probably right, but its one of the very few shows that I always look forward to.

    Book spoilerish question

     
    ok i thought the whole point of zombie cat was that they found her in the river after 3 or 4 days before they brought her back to life, so shes all fucked up and zombied when she accuses brienne of being a 'false friend' because of her lannister sword and strings her ass up (before reviving her wtf).

    correct me if im wrong but its been _weeks_ if not months since that bitch got croaked so what the shit.

    if they even include her, we are literally going to be left with a zombie cat who looks like Gus when he staggering out of the bombed retirement home room.

    also, minor point, ive kinda had it with people getting 'stabbed in the heart' and then they show the knife and its got like 2-3" of blood on it.

    you know what i cant.

    I mean at this point the shows split between the end of book 3(kings landing), the middle of book 5 (dany yawn stuff), and a bunch of kinda made up to pretty made up shit or things the showrunners played up or put their own spin on for the audiences sake

    And with that, the final compelling plot line dies like the character who drove it.

    Get ready for a whole lot of gayshit speeches.

    Cool 5-minute scene to start off the episode where we learn that a castrated Unsullied guy likes to look at naked black girls. We really needed a Khaleesi debriefing to make everything make sense

    Theon/Ramsey is the worst.

    Tyrion's beetle monologue was tedious. If his character is killed off or written badly, I might be done. (please no spoilz)

    It seems like the ghost writers even lost it from whatever book this is from. I feel like I could pick up from this last episode and write a more compelling story.

    I feel like Im in a dream, watching an avalanche of bad plot decisions, poor dialog, and squandered momentum rush down a hillside towards me, months and months away.



    And I cant stop it, and I cant change it, and I cant get out of the way.
