Appreciate the write up
I'm on Season 4 Episode 1
Seems to me the best characters are Geoffery and the midget
For everything I've heard about the hot blonde chick - for 4 seasons - I can't stand her character - what's even worse is her Charlton Heston from Planet of the Apres look-a-like protector - it's just bad TV - every season her traveling the desert looking an army - who turn out to be peasants following her
I need something dramatic to happen - lost as why the one Stark boy left his love he found to go back to the Ice Palace with the giant wall
Whoa, WHAT? Did you skip over the last few episodes of Season 3? Were the events at the end of Season 3 not dramatic enough for you? When I first watched Game of Thrones I felt the same way as you about the character of Daenerys and her story lines. Upon re-watching though, I appreciated her more. yeah - the Stark guy getting killed at his wedding with his Mom was a bit of a shocker - then we had the finale and nothing really happened in the finale
i don't understand why we keep hearing - 'Well that's the end of the Stark family' - aren't there liking 20 of them still floating around out there?
we need more dramatic scenes like the one above -
more of Geoffery and the midget too

The "Red Wedding", as it became known, was a huge shock when the episode aired. People who had read the books and knew that it was coming set up cameras to record the reaction from their friends and family who had no idea. YouTube is full of these reaction videos.

I can't believe they just killed off Geoffery
He was the best character with the midget
I'm thinking it was his former fiance who poisoned him -

I'm on Season 4 Episode 9
Little lost as to why John Snow is fighting his old girlfriend's clan
Obviously I missed something.
OK - so Snow was the leader of that huge Winter Gate in the beginning - but then he left to be on his own (I'm probably forgetting some facts) and met his girlfriend -
Then he left her and she was shooting arrows at him on his horse
Why did he return to that giant Winter Gate in the North and why is his old girlfriends clan attacking him (is her clan part of the Lannisters or on their side?)
*** Edit - sometimes I'm multitasking while I'm watching shows and doing things like 5 things at once - I've tried googling answers to some of these questions but the answers lead me in circles talking about characters I'm not aware of (or maybe I am but can't place a face with a name)

His true loyalty has always been to the Night Watch - the group that is tasked with defending the wall from possible invasion from the wildlings from the north. He was ordered to pretend to defect in order to infiltrate the wildling army and find out what they were up to. That is what he did. A small group of wildlings (with Jon Snow tagging along) climbed over the wall so that they could attack the garrison by surprise from the south while the main army attacked from the north. Jon Snow then got away from the group to warn his comrades about the impending attack. When his girlfriend (incidentally, they got married in real life) realised what was happening, she tried to kill him to stop him from sounding the alarm about the planned attack.

Jaime just released Tyrion trying to help him escape his impending execution -
Confused about this whole scene - why did he find Shae in his Dads bed (obviously she was sleeping with him) and kill her - and why does he go and confront his Dad?
I thought Jamie was helping him escape - what was the point of him making a pitstop to talk to his Dad?
I would have expected him to try and Flee with the bald guy (think his name was Ferris)

I guess Tyrion wanted to kill his dad for having been an asshole towards him since the day he was born. As for Shae, I think he felt betrayed - he believed she truly loved him, and here she is in his father’s bed!

Was he trying to lead him to his death?
I don't understand the whole pit stop with Tyrion stopping to see his father
My understanding was Jamie was releasing him to help him escape - just confused as to why/how this lead to Tyrion confronting his father
I would have been on a boat ASAP and out of there since I was fleeing execution

Jamie wanted to save Tyrion. He couldn’t have imagined that Tyrion would have made the pit stop to confront and kill their father. The way I remember it, Tyrion saw an opportunity to do so during his escape and took it. Probably not the safest course of action for him at that point but I guess his hatred for his father took precedence.

Khaleesi sucks - even her Dragons hate her now - and her slaves are revolting against her
Please tell me she dies soon
Worst Character Ever

People who had read the books and knew that it was coming set up cameras to record the reaction from their friends and family who had no idea. YouTube is full of these reaction videos. That's the only episode I whoever watched. It was such a big show and I had never actually watched a full episode so I randomly decided to check it out when it was on one day. I got the sense that what was happening was really important and shocking, but I had no emotional investment in any of these people. I just saw all of these people dying for reasons I could not understand at all. It ended up, obviously, being this huge story and major TV event, but I couldn't connect to it and never really watched any of it again. |

Caught a pretty good thriller last night, “7500”. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as a co-pilot on a flight that is hijacked. Practically the entire movie takes place in the cockpit of the airplane. I thought it was very tense and quite well done.

Seems like you're a fan and know a lot about the show
Curious as to who your least favorite characters are and the worst storylines according to you
I'm having a hard time getting through the blind Stark girl - as she's being mentored/tutored by what it seems is weaklings as she's stating - 'I am nobody'. Do you remember this? Just going on for episodes.......this kid was a warrior - sad to see her role reduced to this 'filler' it seems just to give the character some air time
*** Edit - another storyline I'm having a hard time getting through - the Stark Kids in the woods the kid's eyes black over - he's talking to an old guy wrapped in trees - for episodes and episodes and episodes - OOF - bad cinema - where is this going? When will it end?

I agree about those two storylines - they bugged the hell out of me as well. In general I wish everything that is supernatural had been dialed down. I always thought the “political” intrigues were far more interesting.

I was all in on the show. Until the last season.
Without spoilers, both Arya and Bran's storylines will be crucial in the end. But neither are very well done. Deus ex machina.

If you go back and watch a random episode from seasons 1 - 4, it's rather stark (hah!) how much better it was than what it ultimately turned into in the last 2 seasons. Those earlier entries are riddled with great writing, nuanced character development, a complex but easy-to-follow story and great performances all around. The action sequences are terrific (Battle of Blackwater still holds up) but it's everything that preceded them that makes their stakes felt and the consequences palpable on both sides. It subsequently turned into a caricature of itself.

Stir Crazy (1980) Good fun with Wilder and Pryor, but it became a little too zany as soon as it shifted to the prison/rodeo angle.  |

On Season 7 Episode 3 right now of Game of Thrones
A little miffed/upset
For seasons I was rooting for the girl who was held captive by the Lannisters and treated like garbage by Joffery and forced to marry Tyrion after they murdered her father and then was forced into marriage after escaping and tortured/raped by a lunatic
But she's home now and seems to be undermining John Snow and could very well be plotting against her half brother
I'm one for a good turn - i.e. from good to evil or evil to good - but I'm not liking this turn - makes no sense to me - fall in line and let Snow run the show
