Bad Things

I'm with ya, Shaw66! Well said.

Uh... I hate to break it to you, but it's still considered spring up there until June 21st, when summer actually begins. Our winter season begins next week. Bring it on!

Just so you know... the "ignore user" feature can be a wonderful thing.

Fair enough.

Since you're so good at looking these kinda things up, I was wondering if you could be me a favor. Do you know how to say "Douche-bag" in Dothraki?

Which makes for a poorly written over-arching story.

I forgot about the white horse. Where did she even ride it? Wasn't she still in Kings Landing? The more I think about it, the more I think people are correct in calling out the poor writing this season.

No it wasn't. The very first scene of the entire series was about the White Walkers and their threat was constantly being built up. "Winter is Coming" wasn't just a saying to remind everyone to get their firewood ready, it was about the upcoming threat of the White Walkers and the Night King.

So, where do you think Drogon was carrying Dany's body away to? There were other Red witches, right? It's almost like they were setting us up for a sequel. (Yeah, I know a prequel is in the works.) For what it's worth, I thought last nights finale was a fitting closure to the last 2 hurried seasons. (But still a great disappointment when considering how great the first 6 seasons were.) I honestly have a hard time believing that they didn't revisit the Night King/Bran/3-eyed Raven storyline. Very weird.

Same here! I phoned up this morning and cancelled.

The best place for our summer holidays is right here... you can't beat the South Island of New Zealand. My favourite place for our (southern hemisphere) winters is either The Cook Islands (Rarotonga), or visiting friends and family in America, where it's the northern hemisphere's summer. If I'm back for the NY summer, I have to spend time up in the Northern Adirondacks, away from the crowds in Lake Placid and the High Peaks.

Yeah, I definitely remember that. The problem I had was basically with Bronn, who has been a favourite of mine. Bronn having the role of "Master of Coin" and arguing about funding brothels over ships was just insultingly stupid.

Yeah... it certainly wasn't a great ending, but I'll take it. This series deserved a LOT better. I will say that the scene with the "small council meeting" with Bronn was cringe inducing.

Hodor.

It seems like nowadays, people just have to find something to complain about. I get it... the show is closing up too fast, and the writers did F some things up. (Jamie's character arc and ending the Night King storyline way too simply.) That said, it's still the best television I've ever watched.

Ah man, this really saddens me. Rest in Peace, Tim and thank you for all of the many heartfelt laughs.

I work with a guy that named his daughter Arya a couple years ago. I wonder if anyone out there has named their baby Hodor?

Yeah, he was one of my favorite players, but is quite annoying at times on One Bills Drive. Plus, half the time he sounds like he has a mouthful of food. Swallow it before you talk!

The show runners said that Varys' reaction was the idea of the actor that plays him. He said that Varys was a man that was rarely ever touched by anyone else, so he basically didn't know how to react.

Do you think there was any significance in Varys taking off all of his rings/jewelry before being lead to his doom?

Rest in Peace, my brother. God bless you.

Why would it matter at all if the white horse was Harry Stricklands? It could have easily been a Dothraki horse, right?

Which looked like the Greyscale that Stannis' daughter had. Shireen? Heck, the girl from last night was holding a wooden carved white horse quite similar to the carved stag that Shireen had. The white horse was also very similar to the horse that Arya rode out on.

Although I don't follow sailing, I have to say the worst choke I've every seen was the 2013 America's Cup finals. Team New Zealand vs Oracle (USA). Team NZ came out winning the first 8 races of the final series, needing only one more win for the trophy. Unfortunately, Oracle came back winning the next 9 races and the big prize. I swear the entire country of NZ was in silence for about a week, before people moved on from it. (Worst thing about it was that the Oracle boat was skippered by an Aussie!) Let's go Buffalo!

Wow, what an episode. I was exhausted by the time the credits rolled. Cleagen Bowl? Holy cow, was I squirming in my seat when The Mountain started squeezing The Hounds eyes. Just a question on a minor aspect of the episode... Was there any significance on that girl that was Varyus' spy? She appeared in a number of scenes in KL, but I believe was killed by fire, after Arya tried to save her. Was she the same girl that showed up in the soup line at Winterfell? Just curious to see if anyone has any theories about her. Anyway... I agree with most of you that the last two seasons could've been spread out a bit longer, but I'm still loving it!
