Wasn't a big Stannis fan in the first place and now I don't like the character at all, I found him boring in the first place now he has burned his own child to death, more fucked up than Ramsay, though I actually like Ramsay just because he's bat shit crazy and a brilliant character altogether.

I have to agree the fight scenes were pretty bad, Jorah is an absolute melt, he really doesn't seem good enough with a sword to have been a Knight, plus the actor Iain Glen is just slow and awkward looking in every fight scene I've seen him in so that makes him look even worse than he is probably meant to look. The Unsullied seem to be absolutely fucking useless, they are supposed to be an awesome Infantry power yet they seem to get rekt pretty easily by a bunch of masked bundle of stickss, just a lot of this shit combined made the fight scenes shitty this episode.

Now, this really opens up Stannis. I mean, at this point he's going to question who he really is and what he's fighting for. I think the show will be able to develop him in a much more interesting way. Giving up pretty much the only thing he ever really cared for, and really to secure her own birthright. I don't think he's completely power hungry. He thinks he's doing what's right.

killing his own brother,  killing his daughter,  repetedly thinking about killing his only friend,  all for the greater good.  the greater good being a hot red psycho witch bitch with great titts  thats not only a good fuck,  but a great mindfuck as well  :mrgreen:

Well, what he did was sick but on the other hand he had to care about thousands of people under his command who would probably starve/freeze do death, he cares about his people, he would be a good king.

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.

I don't really remember what caring soul brought those thousands of people into that starve/freeze scenario, please remind me :D :D :D

My jimmies are rustling because tons of people are defending the shitty directing/choreography of the Unsullied with "they're trained for the battlefield, not to be cops!!!!"

I'm not even sure what the logic is with that one, it's not like they're told they can only use their taser on the Sons of the Harpy...

Lol people use that as an argument? It looked like they're trained to be strawmen more than anything else.

Well, I did recall reading in the books that their strength is discipline and that they are not as physically strong as other men because they lost their balls early. Which makes sense, so in situations where discipline matters less, they are less fearsome. Still, their training, experience and armour should make them more than a match for some city boys with kitchen knives. I don't know why they decide to show Unsullied getting insta-wrecked every time. The Harpies have overwhelming odds of 10 to 1 Unsullied anyway in every fight so far, they could easily show the Unsullied going beast mode for a bit only to be overwhelmed despite their obvious skill. Guess the Series Unsullied weren't trained to use swords, or no one thought of equipping them with swords in a city.

When I think again in the first fight in the arena, the agile guy had several times a nude neck fairly exposed, the guy couldn't hit him, and instead of cutting his throat off, the guy gently hit the back where the big guy had an armor. That's idiotic. They should hire a proper guy to make the fights, because it's getting retarded.

Yes, they'd be at a disadvantage if you took someone with Unsullied training + balls and put them 1v1 against them. But just like the Water Dancers own people left and right with no strength, the Unsullied should be killing people effortlessly - they've trained their whole lives. The series Unsullied are mentioned, by the way, as being "masters of the short sword" too. I mean, it'd make sense if 10 Unsullied lost against 10 Mercenaries in some alley fight because they're trained to fight on the battlefield, but that's about as far as that extends.

This happens constantly, same with the scene where Barristan died.

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'.

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

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.
