Game of Thrones

The resolution was obvious. It was pretty clear who was going to die in the episode from the beginning and that the crows would win.

--

Maybe so. I just felt so detached from the wall episode. The build up to the Walker fight got me interested in the resolution. The wall scene felt like an action scene for the sake of having an action scene. On the other hand, minor details in the last episode like the closing of the gates forcing people out were poetic to a degree. The lone boat sailing away at the end and the walker making one last epic silent gesture to show how effortless it all was left me wanting more.

I'm sure it was fine, but nothing in that episode appealed to me very much except the parts with Ygritte.

I liked the fight at the wall last season as well. edit: I liked Hardhome more, tho

I'm probably most pleasantly surprised about the fact that the whole hardhome thing is pretty much a D&D creation and not something that happened in the books. Its the first real deviation that doesn't feel like something lesser than the source material, IMO.

I was not a huge fan of the Battle at the Wall, either. Blackwater was good but I still think I was more into Hardhome.

Hell... Hardhome made me care more about Random Wildling Mom in 15-20 minutes than the Sand Snakes storyline has done the entire season.

ya i liked her a lot, was obvious she'd die after the children got on the boat but was still hoping she'd stick around

I had a little bit of hope for her when I realized that it was the last boat, so that the "I'll see you soon" kiss of death might have instead been a "Lie to those I love" moment.

I really liked it when Ramsay said "A feast for crows"

I'm surprised that no one has complained about the wildling mom being weak to children re: recent discussions about portrayals of women in ADWD.

That line was kinda cringeworthy for me, actually.

We actually commented on that last night when it was over, but I'm more willing to forgive that, especially given that she was actually a mother and her love for her child was established earlier in the episode.

I really liked the Wildling mom. Too bad they introduced such a cool character just to kill her off right away. :/

I think that's my biggest complaint about how her character played out. They only introduced her as a likable wildling so that they could kill her, she didn't feel much like a wilding in a lot of ways.

Huh?

She was kicking ass then a bunch of undead children show up, she hesitates and they death tackle her.

To be fair, I'd hesitate too, though.

I liked Dany's campy moment. I'm anxious to see what Gay of Thrones will do with it.

Yeah they were both kinda cringe inducing dialogues. But at least Daeny's line made sense in the context of the story, whereas Ramsay's line was just shoehorned in there to force a reference to the title of the book in a way that completely misses the point of what the actual "feast for crows" really was.

Brandi · Post Post #3543 (ISO) » Mon Jun 01, 2015 6:44 am

Yeah I liked Dany's line I thought it was good.

The battle scene I agree was too blurry/hard to keep up with. I think I liked blackwater more.

i love when characters shoehorn titles into dialog. its seriously cringe every time but i get a special happiness that i can't get anywhere else.
