HBO's Game of Thrones. [No Book Spoilers]

[Overdriven]

The dragon looked really good on my high-def episode when Daenerys was about to touch it, though, so props for that.

That's what I mean. The dragon looked great. But everything in the background, particularly during the flying, just looked bad so kinda ruined the overall effect.

The Unsullied do appear more and more like the stormtroopers of the GoT universe. We keep hearing how powerful they are and yet what we see is the complete opposite.

Yeah I get the feeling if you unleashed some of those messed up in the head mercenary bands on them they'd practically scream and run away. They just don't seem capable of even some semblance of co-operation and fighting skill. The way it's choreographed most of the kills they do get are basically lucky stabs on suicidal guys, otherwise they are totally boned.

Maybe they were more badass when they were slaves and now when they're derpy regular soldiers they suck

[Xant]

Yes, they all lost their memories when they were freed.

I like the episode overall. Mean when that little girl got taken away (eww...) and I liked the dragon bit. I think it looked great for a tv series.
Can't wait to see what Arya does next... Arya Stark best Stark!

Leshma...get a life.

I thought this move was pretty cool though, for the series standards.

On an unrelated note, Arya screaming "oysters, clams and cockels!" might be one of the worst sounds I have had to endure, god what an annoying voice.

Its like that frickin mister frosty that drives around my house 30 times a day blaring that same old ringy ding dong music that has the capability to penetrate 5 soundproof doors.

Also, a gladiator fight turning into a massive brawl in which the goodguys end up stuck in the middle of the arena in a hopeless manner in which a flying thing comes swooping in to save the day has been done before... So original. Star Wars anyone?

So book Stannis was stern, harsh overbearing but a character I still would of supported and who didn't burn his own daughter alive as a means to an end. Seems they made show Stannis a crazy lunatic.

Remember that the show creators have been told how everything ends by GRRM, who has huge influence on the show too. It's more than likely that Stannis will flip the fuck out in the books, too.

Lol isn't it an irony that the early book readers who so famously spoiled the first 4 seasons of the show are now having their books ovelapped by the show... And shall soon have the books spoiled by the just as annoying show viewers I'm sure. Karma I guess 

[Oberyn]

Yeah thought this one was dumb as well. Just wanted it to be over asap.

Also on top of that, the CGI background when Daenerys was riding the dragon was bloody terrible. It seemed like a case of 'spent all the money on the dragon LOL so lets copy and paste a picture as the background'.

During that flight scene I could practically picture the actress sitting on a big blue blob, fan blowing in her face, with a guy pedaling on a bike in the background to make the scenery slide by.

I could just picture a guy sitting behind a computer watching a video of the actress sitting on a blue blob, fan blowing in her face, with a guy pedaling on a bike in the background to make the scenery slide by, while he just copy pastes super cheezy picures of pillars over the scenery in question.

But hey, apparently all of this takes months to achieve to "professionals" doing their job:

I was unable to take anything in that article seriously past the 1st paragraph.

I almost spit milk all over my keyboard trying to read through that.

Yeah but that all depends on whether he is successful at Winterfell or not. Maybe in the next book GRRM is planning on him losing so badly at Winterfell and that he somehow makes it back to Castle Black where the witch and his daughter are and breaks down and does this crap there, who knows.

I highly doubt the show will spoil the books very much considering how far the show has deviated from them, maybe the final outcome of some characters and those contesting the throne but GRRM would have to go back and rewrite the past books and drop the characters the show dropped, add all the stuff the show added to the characters in which didn't happen in the books etc. For example unless that happened I don't even see how show Sansa could ever spoil book Sansa's story except maybe having the circumstances of their deaths be similar, because right now they are in 2 totally different places with totally different narratives atm, etc.
