OT-Game of Thrones S05 E03: High Sparrow
Arya has made it to Bravos and has been brought into the House of Black & White. I noticed she has added Walder Frey to her Kill Bill list. The Lannisters are in full regroup mode. The Khaleesi could be getting some unexpected visitors. No book spoilers.

I was a huge fan of the first three books, but thought the fourth was borderline unreadable. And the fifth was better but still not to the same level IMO. Now because of the TV series, the length of the wait, the bloated stories in the books etc. I honestly don't care when the last two books come out, and am happy to find out how it all works out on the series, not the books.
I feelt this so much. I waited too damn long for Dance of Dragons.
Yeah, much as I loved the first three books, the series is the "real" Game of Thrones to me, as well.
I'll be curious to see how the end of the story differs in the books from the series. We can be sure it will, or Martin would be complaining.

They've become two separate means to the same end (presumably) at this point, so I'm just enjoying the chance to double down on my ASOIAF nerddom. It's obvious that George Martin is having trouble containing the plot. Maybe the mad rush to finish the books will make them more streamlined and readable.
Valar morghoulis.

What was the best episode? An Now His Watch Is Ended? The Rains of Castamere is my least favorite of the entire series, just ahead of Baelor. I agree Season 4 is the best...

So far every season has been better than the one before IMO. That's my biggest worry... That they can't possibly go anywhere but down from here.
is probably the most interesting one to me as the show runners are going off on their own, making some executive decisions that are different than the books and it'll be interesting to see what they do.

Margaery, Cersei, Littlefinger & Varys are truly masters of "the game" of thrones. Verdict's still out on Dani.
Since Tywin's death Cersei has "banished" Kevan Lannister (seemingly the only remaining Lannister with sense), added a 'magic user of ill repute' to the small council, and deposed the High Septon while giving the High Sparrow the thumbs up.
Basically she's attempted to consolidate her own power by replacing competence with extremely dubious allies.
In her mind, for example, the High Sparrow now owes her and thus belongs to her. The High Sparrow doesn't look like the kind of guy that plays by those rules, though. Sure the jailed High Septon was corrupt but corruption is easy to control. Fanaticism isn't.
Qyburn seems loyal at least, but he also seems like the type of guy who ends up getting burned at the stake and all of his friends with him.
I'm sure I've left out a ton and bungled a ton more and my characterization of Cersei's actions regarding Kevan are probably unfair. Point being, Cersei isn't a serious contender. She's possibly the worst ruler since the last Targaryen ruler. Yeah, the guy who named "fire" his champion in a duel and sparked the civil war that left Robert with the throne.
Stay tuned.

I wish they'd just kill her off already. Tyrion and Jaime have turned into decent human beings, Tommen, Lancel and Kevan seem fine, Tywin and Joffree are dead...she's the only Lannister left that I hate. Though I will give props to the production team for allowing you to connect with characters you despise, if even for brief moments...
Wondering if you still think Cersei's not a "player" any longer? ;-)
Her time. Its almost up. I just get this sneaky suspicion with whats happened to the Tyrells that word might leak about Cersei and Jaime. Ruh Roh Raggy.

You should do that.

What the fuck is in Qyburn's room? That shit is awesome.

We all know who's under the sheet. Can't wait to see Frankenmountain.

Limited vocabulary certainly works for Hodor.
