My Frustrations with Game of Thrones S7E02

Oh my god yes! Sam's story made me angry, I loved his arc and kinda enjoyed how they edited the duldrum of his life at Oldtown but seriously just coming across the Dragonglass reference like that and then curing the greyscale by just slicing it off and putting on a ointment? It is getting dumb. I'm easing the pain by reading the books.

THIS IS GREAT. I was looking for a review like this. I'm one of the few that has read the books in my social circle and no one understands why I dislike this season so much. Everything happens so fast, literally teleporting from one kingdom to another... Anyway, happy that you are focused on Dune Club because that's something I look forward to every week!! ❤

I am sunk cost watching...

Quaithe be drinking a Mai Tai, like "life is good," then "Oh shit, I got to tell Dany something! Wait what? She left all ready? Well... crap." XD

"Whether WINDS or the first volume of FIRE AND BLOOD will be the first to hit the bookstores is hard to say at this juncture, but I do think you will have a Westeros book from me in 2018... and who knows, maybe two. A boy can dream..." <a href="http://grrm.livejournal.com/544709.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://grrm.livejournal.com/544709.html</a>

I did enjoy the first two episodes while watching them but upon reflection, the cracks really start to show lol. I totally get what your saying, you can definitely sit back and enjoy the show for what it is, but even leaving the books aside it is extremely depressing when compared to the very early seasons. They didn't require you to switch your brain off, you had to pay attention to keep up and there was so much to think about with it. Now it's all about the action, like you said, and you can really feel the accelerated pace of everything, which makes the world not feel as immersive as it once did.

I was YELLING at my TV when Sam cured Jora - SO DUMB!

No. GRRM owes me nothing. I'm angrier at the show for fucking his shit up and misdirecting his energy. 😕

Are you angry at GRR Martin for ditching his family (us) and almost guaranteeing that he will never write the end of the series? Martin's great friend Robert Jordan died before he could finish his epic Wheel of Time series but luckily super-prolific Brandon Sanderson did a good job finishing the series out. Maybe Martin should have an up-and-coming author finish the series for him while Martin is still alive to supervise.

Spot on review. And great "Blair Witch" look to this episode.

I feel like the world needs people to call bullshit. Raise your voice, even when it's hard.

I feel so sad because of what the show had become...like you all said here in a thred...it is a bummer. Hope Wind of winter will be out soon and we will be enjoing some seriously good material again.

I understand why you don't enjoy GOT anymore. I was screaming at my screen from the cold open.

But yeah, I've been reading Dune, and while I'm ahead of the club (I can't read that little at a time), I love the recaps and the insights, it's helping me a lot. I find it easy enough to get, I was expecting to be totally lost in this book, but it's amazing so far, I agree this is the replacement to what GOT used to be. Perfect timing :)

Loved it, pure CBG19 no fucking around just straight for the throat. I wasn't the slightest bit excited for this season, and I waited like 5 days to watch the first one because I really didn't care that much. I don't hate it, but I hate what it's become, it's so slow and redundant, and there's no plot twists anymore, even when they try to pull a suprprise it's like yeah whatever, I'm not that interested. We won't see any main characters suddenly die now, it's all going to be a build up of 'epic' battles leading up to more 'epic' battles. I don't even care about these shitty million dollar battles. I watch this show for plot, not bang crash boom action movie bullshit lol. I was actully one of those who found CBG19 from the GOT reviews, and they were amazing, trying to do that now with these shows just wouldn't work, there's nothing to talk about. The latest episode (3) was watchable, but at time I was still sitting there going "yes yes move on now, we get it move on", and 'spoiler' Brann was hilarious, man that was a terrible scene, "Oh shame you got raped sis really sucked", and she's like "yeah okay fuck you new edgy-all powerful-weird-Brann, I'm outta here" :D
