Game of Thrones: Season 6

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6

Man, this Arya storyline (in addition to Dorne) I really couldn't care less about.

Sadly, I think that Dorne is more interesting to me than Arya at this point.... and I'm not that interested in Dorne so that isn't saying much.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6

I would have to re-watch the scene but besides the the big guy who got shanked in the back and the guy who got killed while running away it seems like everyone else was in on it. If they can control the kings guard (or whatever they're called in Dorne), then maybe they can control the people? If not them then who?

I got no answer for this except that that's just a few household guards in on the conspiracy and not necessarily reflective of how the rest of the country would react.

Good point about they had already got their revenge... Maybe they're pissed that they didn't get to kill Tywin and still have it out for the Lannister's?

So because they're pissed that they didn't get to kill Tywin who gave the order to kill Martells they kill more Martells. They kill their own family because they didn't get the chance to kill the people who killed their family. It just makes no sense.

Do they know the Mountain is deadish?

They should know that he died. They know he fought Oberyn, know that Oberyn had the fight won until that last mistake and know that Oberyn used poison on his blade so that even if the Mountain got cut once he was a goner regardless. Qyburn experimented on the body in secret for Cersei, and I just have a hard time believing they would send a raven to Sunspear and let them know that they brought him back, especially considering that Myrcella was still in Dorne at time.

Maybe they believe that Lannisters would be coming for their revenge and since they killed Marcella and since they did it without the kings approval, then he would turn them over to the Lannisters?

Most definitely but again, it seems like having a legitimate Martell around for the rest of the country to rally around would be smarter than kinslaying (so nonchalantly at that, these characters make no sense)and hoping everybody overlooks that little detail and protects you. That's just me I guess.

I'm beginning to think the writers just decided to cut their losses with Dorne and are trying to axe that whole subplot now. Honestly at this point, I would welcome that.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6

That Dothraki scene was hilarious. Who knew they made lists?

I was very surprised that they offed Prince Doran just like that, along with Areo Hotah going out like a punk. I thought we'd get to see him being that renowned warrior. At least the Sand Snakes looked a hell of a lot more competent fighting compared to last season. Though I share the same curiosity as others in wondering what their end-game is other than the obvious revenge plot. I doubt we get to see it, but surely not everyone in Dorne will be okay that their Prince and his son was murdered by their own (bastard) family.

Sansa finally, finally(!) getting together with Brienne was wonderful. The Queen in the North can play the game on her terms as soon as she gathers the other Northern houses.

The Melisandre reveal was very surprising -- I'd like to think they had some inspiration from The Witcher 3 -- but in my opinion, further reinforces her ability to possibly (I'm a believer) bring Jon Snow back. She didn't say "I saw him in the flame, fighting in Winterfell" for nothing. She's been reading her visions wrong and thought they were about Stannis, and clearly, she doesn't believe in herself at the moment. Nothing a little Onion Knight can't handle to get her flames burning bright.

We're still taking on new members for #teamwhitewalkers

I find it so hard to root for anybody on this show right now. I guess I really want the nights watch to be obliterated. That would be great HBO.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6

Echo echo echo, lol. Well, something major happened. This place is kind of like a ghost town nowadays. Anyhow, I thought the problem was solved a little too quickly and conveniently. Someone randomly gets an idea and 5 minutes later it "happened".

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6

To be fair, what went down has been said as happening before with another red priest in previous seasons.

Spoiler

Thoros of Myr ressurected Beric Dondarrion (the guy with the sword on fire in season 3) multiple times

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6

Much, much better than the first episode.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

I think that encapsulates the entire episode very well. Thought some of those storylines would be dragged out longer.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6

At least they didn't drag it out all season long.

Same with Arya getting her *** kicked with a stick.

Ramsay Bolton has surpassed Joffrey Baratheon in the "God, I hope this POS gets his real soon" rankings.

And HE LIVES!
