OT- Game of Thrones S6 E2: Home
I think that this will largely be another set-up episode in most storylines, and I think episde 3 is where all hell will break loose and we will start to see large plot movements at the Wall, at Winterfell, with Dany, etc.
If they really only have 22 episodes to go people need to start dieing...
my prediction is that Snow isn't resurrected today, and that the big deal has to do with the white walkers... maybe the bran scene?
I also thing we see my main man tormund whoop some ass. (seriously, is there a better character HAR!)
I am also vowing to upvote you all and continuing my request to negbang my self... only negvotes can pay for upvotes!
love,
jdon
PS. EDIT: DO we get to see the TOJ tonight? cause that would be amazing!
Lets just hope the raven hasn't shown him what Melisandre looks like naturally. Otherwise he might wind up blind like his sister.

while making the 2 backed beast with Stannis...he might've killed her.
I don't think any of the Noble Houses will take Conner Cook because he's a douche bag. That's my hot take.

everybody hates the Thenns! Lol
Douche bag? Sounds like a Lannister to me
connor cook is viserys incarnate...
pure, lame ass, targaryen!

This show jumped the shark when Ned Stark died.
not funny dude...
sean bean was made for that role...

But seriously, this show just isn't that good anymore. I lost interest early in the last season.
I'm with you on that. Didn't even renew my HBO this year. Show has such potential, which makes it all the more frustrating.

Yeah, at this point it's basically as bad as the last season of Roseanne.
Alf, you missed a sweet episode.
I mean the books do fall off with FEASTDANCE.
you basically go from Tywin dieing to John getting stabbed with little to no actual progress and just a bunch of travelouges... It's why there are so many theories: jojen paste, who is the high sparrow, what character is masquareding as whom, etc.
However, the septon meribald speech might be the best single soliloquy ever... but it doesnt make for good TV...

I'm such a careless reader. Thanks for posting this.
Precisely why I'm gonna read the books. That was some excellent writing.
(was really disturbed when they burned that girl at the stake, though i like every Dinklage part) but I'm curious; why did the attractive lady take off her amulet last week? didn't she know she'd turn into an old hag?
She's been an old hag all along, just casting a glamour to appear younger and beautiful.
My guess is that she is having crisis of faith, since her visions have proven false (or so she thinks). The choker's ruby was a symbol of her religion, and she has set it aside. She's done so before, though, so maybe that scene wasn't supposed to represent a change of anything except our understanding.
so in theory she can put it back on whenever she needs to? that makes a bit more sense.
I'll say there are too many story lines to follow, so they can't spend enough on any of them. However, it is still the best show on TV by a mile. TWD has taken three steps back and is all but unwatchable anymore. FTWD is unwatchable. What else is even on? The NHL playoffs are always worth a watch, even without the Wings. But the general state of TV shows sucks more ass than usual.
The Americans is the best show on television, and it's not even close.
So underrated and unknown still.
Also Fargo is great and each season is self contained so the writing has to be tight to wrap up everything in 10 episodes.
Fargo is up there with Breaking Bad for me as far as how well done it is. Every detail is flawless, so fantastic.
Fargo is good but the writing is weird. Half the things Billy Bob Thornton did in season 1 made no sense. The whole alien space craft in season 2 was a puzzler also.
What do you mean by "self contained"?
GoT is at the top of my favorite shows all time. Curb Your Entusiasm and Martin are also a couple favorites.
Watched the first episode until a woman was raped like five minutes in. Did the same with walking dead except it was a zombie eating a dead horse. Couldn't get through it.

I have never seen it but know you are wrong.

okay, mate
The Americans and Fargo are tie for the best IMO since Mad Men ended. Although for comedies, Veep is still fucking hilarious. GoT is still very solid.
Ps: The Americans this season has been crazy so far !
Mr. Robot is pretty damn good too!
TWD has gotten much, much better the past two seasons IMO. I agree though, season 3 and 4 were atrocious.

I think that's an artifact of Martins "gardener" style of writing.
I'll admit, I'm a bit annoyed with him. I can't blame him, he's striking while the iron is hot. But selfishly I'd like him to hole up and finish the books

They could easily spend enough time. One of the big knocks against GoT from the beginning is that they overcompress the storylines and cut out too much of the story. There was no particular reason they needed to do 10 episode seasons nor that they needed to do 1 book per season. The amount of stuff they've cut out could easily make for another 2 seasons and they would have never been in the circumstance where they over took the books.
TV is an entirely different medium and the storytelling style is different. There's no way the show could go on for ten seasons. Neither the writers, nor the cast, nor the production staff would still be stoked after about six or seven seasons.
I like the story in the show more than the one in the books. Seventy-five episodes will be pushing it, but I think that they can do it. The books will never be finished (by GRR Martin).
Martin quite clearly came out against the Wheel of Time Sanderson Hail Mary and didn't like Frank Herbert's son finishing the Dune series, so we'll likely never see the end of the books as Martin's writers block is too much. I made my piece with the TV show being the end of the story long ago.

From the book. Which would have meant paying more actors and building more sets.
TWD is indeed kind of boring now. I will finish the series (whenever the creators' egos allow it to end), but do not get excited to watch it every Sunday. GoT is the only show I watch live.

Outlander on Starz is the only other show besides GoT that i need to watch right now. The second season just started and it's not as good as the first but I'm hooked on the story. I'll eventually read the books someday. Very good show from the writing to the sets/costumes to the production value. Top notch all around.
Haven't gotten around to watching it yet, but The Man in the High Castle is supposedly really good.
The series might be a bit under-hyped considering it's by Amazon Prime (like, the 8th best way to watch TV), but it's definitely got an interesting plot, centering around the Allies hypothetically losing WWII resulting in Nazi/Japanese occupation of the U.S.
It's pretty good. Very watchable with the main drawback being that the least interesting characters are the two leads.
Penny Dreadful starts up again tonight. Back on topic I think the Wildlings kick some Crow ass tonight.

Once we learned Hodor's name, Bran should have asked him, "Whatchu not talkin' 'bout, Wyllis?"
