I know what you mean about "nothing happening" but I really enjoyed the interplay of the characters and I don't need something to happen to enjoy the show. I very much savor the interactions and sometimes, I feel that the action is forced. However, I do agree that the books were incredibly boring through this stretch and I'm sure that they will not let the show be boring.

But I also suspect that means something big--something that's not in the books yet?--will happen soon. Probably in episode 9. And that makes me excited.<br /><br /><i>"...the result of going in all dragons blazing..."</i><br /><br />Hilarious, Juliette.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-43714171104359520432015-05-07T19:01:41.357-04:002015-05-07T19:01:41.357-04:00Thanks for the thoughtful review, Juls.
Holy shite...Thanks for the thoughtful review, Juls.<br />Holy shite to the depth with which Cersei is like, 'If you f*ck with me, I will jam you up.' I'm both horrified and delighted by it, if I'm being honest.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953652907115935895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-91105448248844781682015-05-05T14:54:29.071-04:002015-05-05T14:54:29.071-04:00I'm decidedly bummed out by what just happened...I'm decidedly bummed out by what just happened to poor Ser Barristan, but sort of understand why they may have done it. Not only does it continue the parallels with Cersei --- who's far more experienced and level-headed uncle choose to exit stage left --- it fits with the typical "hero's journey" arc to have the older purveyor of wisdom fall from the scene, forcing the hero to make his or her way on their own. We were reading a <i>Star Wars</i> book with our youngest last night, and I burst out part way through: "They just Obi-Wanned Ser Barristan!"<br /><br />Also of note on in this one: we also had Stannis commenting to his wife about how Ned was too honorable to father a bastard. And then there's Melissandre offering herself to Jon and commenting on his power. Just saying. :)<br /><br />I'm wondering if Littlefinger is counting on Sansa staying safe because he fully expects that Brienne won't be too far away. He probably knows she wouldn't just abandon her mission, right?<br /><br />Definitely not impressed with the Sand Snakes so far. Hopefully they can push past the clunkiness now that the intro part is over.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-113363153898589542015-05-05T13:13:35.297-04:002015-05-05T13:13:35.297-04:00Sooze I'm so glad it's not just me who has...Sooze I'm so glad it's not just me who has that sense that nothing is happening! And Anonymous, I'm also glad it wasn't just me who found the Sand Snakes a bit cringe-worthy - I couldn't really think of much to say about them, they didn't really make much of an impact for me here. I'm just really hoping things get going soon - and to be fair, probably more has happened than at this stage of the books...Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-72327238876001962882015-05-05T09:39:38.173-04:002015-05-05T09:39:38.173-04:00I am confused about how I feel about this season s...I am confused about how I feel about this season so far. While I am glad that several storylines have been condensed/cut, I then sit here and feel like "nothing is happening". And the end of the episode felt to me like they just needed to do something shocking in order to make us feel like "something happened"...and I was irritated. Does that make sense?<br /><br />SoozeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-64079256604803855172015-05-04T17:22:14.591-04:002015-05-04T17:22:14.591-04:00Disappointed with the show version of the Sand Sna...Disappointed with the show version of the Sand Snakes. The dialogue written for them was quite cringe-worthy, and there really isn't anything to distinguish them from one another.<br />__<br />I like Stannis. I don't even care that he has people burned alive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
