Game of Thrones

I have to admit that the seventh episode appealed to me more than the previous one. Arya and the Hound have formed an odd dynamic duo that simply works for me. I would say that they have been entertaining me the most out of everyone present for a while now. Tyrion is funny even in prison, Brienne's quest has a new purpose, only Daenerys and the Wall are stagnating, and I have an unmistakable feeling that the Mountain has changed his face for the second time, but maybe I am mistaken.

Important things are happening, but the insignificant ones did not fall behind, so for me the eighth episode is unbalanced. I will start with positive things, so paradoxically I have to praise the conclusion with a perfect showdown, Sansa Stark's character finally undergoes some development (and I don't mean that she is a year older again), and Arya and the Hound have once again reached the destination of their journey. The events surrounding Theon/Greyjoy don't really interest me, and the conversations in this episode were mostly meaningless, so there's that. (12/14/2017)

I would definitely rate the ninth episode with five stars, but I would have to see the fight properly. I understand that only a suicide would attack the Wall during the day, but sometimes I got a bit lost in the darkness. In addition, there couldn't be a lack of a heart-wrenching scene with a dying emotional investment, the fight suddenly almost quietens down and the viewer's eye sheds a tear. The creators sketched out this cliché nicely. (12/14/2017)

Without Brandon's annoying plot line, it could have been a five-star rating, but I really didn't like this group. The most interesting events this time took place at King's Landing, Cersei's conversation with Tywin and Tyrion's revenge were great, as well as the conclusion with Varys, but there was also excitement at the Wall and I saw another quality duel. Negatives: Tywin's death - I enjoyed Lannister dad, a cold snake. Positives: Jojen and Shae - I am joyful that I won't have to see them anymore. (12/14/2017)

Season 5 was a disappointment. I have to admit that, a couple of times, I found myself just staring blankly at the screen while my brain was trying to process the latest twist of logic. Oh well, it was to be expected as the season had two highlights for many viewers: Sansa's wedding night and Cersei's walk of shame. It seems that some people just can't find a suitable porn site, so they get off on HBO shows. What I prefer is a good fantasy story, as I have no trouble finding porn online. (12/15/2017)

I initially thought the episode would easily hit four stars, but then the show threw in a bunch of pointless conversations in King's Landing and yet another round of gay soft porn, which I could really do without. Such a shame because the dialogues between Varys and Tyrion were, as always, fantastic. (12/14/2017)

Season five isn't winning me over so far. In this episode, a lot happens, yet it feels like nothing significant occurs. Everyone talks, but few get to the point. No one wants Brienne around, so she decides to fulfill her promises regardless. Daenerys is stuck in Meereen, and after the Wall's events, Jaime heads off to Dorne. Honestly, it’s a bit of a snooze. (12/14/2017)

The third episode offered more of the same. It wasn't particularly entertaining, though I was glad to see Janos finally meet his end. The plot barely moved forward, Braavos was downright boring, and every conversation between Stannis and Jon hit the same dead end. Even Tyrion, who has drunk his way through three episodes, is starting to lose his charm. (12/14/2017)

Given my absolute disdain for religious fanatics of any kind, I've never found Jonathan Pryce more repulsive in a role. The Dornish adventure turned out to be as disappointing as I feared, and the situation in Meereen left me puzzled. Who exactly are the Unsullied supposed to be? The best soldiers? If so, this episode must have been some parody that completely went over my head. (12/14/2017)

Another standard episode from season five. We saw some decisions being made and two expeditions are gearing up in the North (one for war and one for evacuation), but the plot remained disappointingly shallow and didn't offer much new. The ending with Tyrion and Jorah was the only highlight, and if anyone nodded off during the episode, this scene might have jolted them awake. (12/15/2017)

Either season five just isn't working for me, or I'm missing something, although I had no issues with the book. Jaime's mission to rescue Myrcella feels overly naive, the Sand Snakes, who were intriguing in the book, are painfully dull on screen, and Arya's storyline is currently a snooze-fest. All my hopes are pinned on the North. (12/15/2017)

Stannis's forces are stuck in the snow like the 6th Army at Stalingrad, Jon made a decision last episode and is now starting to put his plan into action, but everything around him is painfully slow. The only part I truly enjoyed was Tyrion's thorny journey to Daenerys. (12/15/2017)

I could nitpick a few factual details, but I was so thrilled to finally be engaged with an episode that I'll let them slide. Five stars it is. (12/15/2017)

I’m starting to wonder if the creators decided to pour all their effort into just two (or maybe three? We’ll see) episodes this season. I liked this one too. Stannis is still stuck in his own Stalingrad, Arya’s adventures in Braavos are finally getting interesting, and there’s a major twist in Meereen. Judging by the number of them, it seems like every other citizen belongs to the Sons of the Harpy. (12/15/2017)

There was again a decline in quality compared to the previous two episodes. I'm not saying I was bored, the final part was overloaded with events, but some things simply bothered me. Brienne calmly walks through the battlefield to seek her revenge (Stannis must have had a GPS on him), and Cersei's walk through the city was endless, I don't even know, should it have excited, amazed, or disgusted me? It didn't lead to any of those, I just had to use the ffwd button because it was boring and long. Arya, however, entertained with an interesting slaughter. (12/15/2017)

Season 6 almost buried the series for me. I’m saying almost because I've made it through six seasons, so I won't be a pussy and I'll make it through the seventh. Okay, to be fair, I enjoyed Season 4 quite a bit. Season 5 was still alright, but what to say of Season 6? The biggest problem was that the writers rejected any kind of logic. If something doesn't make sense to me, I'm hardly going to like it. They didn’t bother with storytelling either. It was just about the need to shock at any cost. But not even that worked, which it couldn’t, given how predictable everything was. (12/17/2017)

The first episode of the sixth season "pleased" me with many illogicalities, but what disappoints me the most is that the creators didn't show me that fantastic parachute which Theon and Sansa had to demonstrate after their suicidal jump from the walls, when they didn't suffer even a scratch or a nice little splintered fracture. Brienne clearly demonstrated that she really follows the GPS signal, she found her target in the middle of the forest at the right time and so on and so forth. What were the creators thinking with that final scene? I felt like someone raped my brain. (12/15/2017)

Once again, I evidently misunderstood the creative intention, or the screenwriters think I'm senile. The Night's Watch, on which the entire civilized world relies, surrenders its weapons without a fight, even though just a few episodes ago its men fought literally to the last drop of blood. Tyrion disguises himself as a merchant in Meereen and on the street, no one recognizes him unless he reveals himself with his noble walk? And I, idiot, have been thinking this whole time that he's a dwarf! But I am the fool! After two episodes, it is still about nothing. (12/15/2017)

Alright, I've come to terms with the fact that things won't get any better. Arthur Dayne had a huge weakness, he fought like a god against two or more opponents, but when there was only one against him, it lasted like a walk in the park for him. But there were so many inconsistencies here again that it's probably not worth dwelling on each one. I wonder who gave Bran a "cool" haircut during his stay in the cave. The episode once again included many conversations and monologues about nothing, and the competition "Who can pee further" in King's Landing was all very "interesting". (12/16/2017)

The fourth episode brought absolutely unbelievable adventure in the dark alleys (???!!!) of Vaes Dothrak. The nomads have somehow settled with us, civilization is evidently progressing, and with it comes urbanization. In Tyrion's resolution of the situation in Slaver's Bay, I found significant flaws and debates with the High Septon are boring and annoying. To remind myself what a bastard Ramsay is, Osha returns to the scene (for a moment) and Daenerys once again emerges unharmed from the flames (Now I don't know if the creators ran out of ideas or if she hasn't shown her breasts for a long time?).
