Oh f*ck right off! So now women can't go to a bar? For the same reason they should wear burkas, right? Because god forbid they "provoke" a man, even if they are just out living their lives and they're only provoking you in your own head. Because we all know it's the woman's responsibility, how a man responds to being "provoked". Riddle me this: why is it that such an alarming number of men genuinely think they are superior to women, yet they can't even control their most basic of instincts, the one thing that's supposed to distinguish them from animals? Because that's what you're saying if it's the woman's fault "you can't control yourselves" So damn superior...! Pathetic.
I'm a straight girl so I'm not so sure my answer holds any weight, but 10 years ago I used to think She was unbelievably beautiful. Now? Not so much. Someone here commented on her body and I agree, her torso is pretty boxy with long limbs. When you look closer it's really not that great. Her face on The other hand is still beautiful but overall at this point she's more hype than anything.
I always find it funny when people say things like "you wasted x years of your life" in regards to a tv show. As if people did nothing else during that amount of time. GoT had short seasons. It was hardly more than 24 hours in total. More if you watched the episodes more than once, but still a very short time in total. I think Dexter fans had it worse. So please.
I liked the hopelessness. In real life we seem to be somehow convinced that the good will have good things happen to them. Sometimes a good person suffers and suffers and it never gets better. Or, after years and years of suffering, maybe they were about to start a good job, maybe they just met someone special, and bam!, they just die in an accident, or they fall down a flight of stairs. This divine justice, I don't see it. Certainly not for everyone. I liked that these characters had things happen to them that they didn't deserve (both good and bad), and that some of those things were shocking and unpredictable. For me it was close to real life.
But what made the show for me was that it was also well-written - very good dialogue, exciting, and it made sense within that world. The writing has been going downhill for me - I think it was last season that was all about curse words and very little insightful stuff - I remember thinking this about Tyrion in particular.
I loved ep 5, I had no qualms with it and to me it made perfect sense, even though yes this whole season feels rushed.
I hated the finale because I think finales are supposed to be exciting and memorable. This was absolutely boring for me and I didn't expect it, especially from a show like this. I even paused the episode to go outside to grab a coffee. I didn't like what happened to Jon but my biggest issue was with Bran being king. A group of people just accepting what Tyrion - a prisioner, mind you - was saying? No issues with the voting, no argument? That I feel was truly rushed. It was a major, major part of the series, and the ruler of the seven kingdoms ended up being this barely human thing with the personality of a potato? What a terrible choice, it made no sense and it needed more explaining. Even with the possibility that he manipulated everyone, it is still boring. Which is the worst definition I can think of for the finale of a show like this.
I also agree. She's brilliant in The Leftovers. She's very good at making the audience so angry we want to kill her. But that is a compliment as well!
Have you wacthed How I Met Your Mother?
I'm pretty sure Bran has already left the world :P
I still hope that it won't either. In this case, wouldn't this make us incurable pessimists? You know, not rooting for a happy ending and all. I don't want them to kill Jaime and I consider him one of the "big" characters. I don't know why he has to atone for throwing Bran out the window, it didn't kill him and if it weren't for that he wouldn't have turned into [spoiler]an insufferable bore [/spoiler] the Three Eyed Raven. I know Jaime's probably going to die but this show hasn't made me cry in years and now that's about the only thing that will.
One of the things I used to love about GoT was that it didn't follow the traditional "norms". So, just like in real life a person who has always suffered isn't guaranteed a life of happiness afterwards (some people suffer their whole lives and then just die), I would kind of love if Beric just died, and there was no reason after all. But that's just me being grimm and bored that the show doesn't do this kind of thing anymore, so he'll probably live. As for Tormund, I'm much more invested in his character and I'll be pissed if he reappears as a wight.
Random thought that I don't think deserves its own thread so I'll post it here: Poor ser Jorah, knowing the woman he's loved forever will apparently sleep with anyone but him. That's not even being friendzoned, it's torture. But the man needs to find some self-respect and get over her already.
