Game of Thrones Season 6

[MK Shrimper]

Really? I think this season so far is streets ahead of season 5.

Nothing happened for the first 45 mins. The entire scene with Varys and the woman (who?) was utterly pointless.

As a general rule, these slow episodes are usually the build towards some major "Holy $***" moments down the line.

The dragons will be flying soon!

True, but last night's episode was painfully slow at times.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Oh dear. For the first time I was bored watching GOT.

Pretty sure you were saying that through most of Season Five too.

  Spoiler:  

Varys losing his little birds - massively significant

A question about episode three....

  Spoiler:  

That creature's head with a bolt through it that the grumpy northerner threw on the table at Winterfell. What was it?

 

[Kenny]

The dragons will be flying soon!

I think that's another reason for the slow episodes. They have to use the CGI budget sparingly (although I did read the budget had been raised a lot more this year)

Disappointed with the end last night

  Spoiler:  

Was it the Stark family badge, the wolf head?

Nah.

  Spoiler:  

It was the dismembered head of Shaggydog, Rickon Stark's Dire Wolf.

  Spoiler:  

It was Rickon Stark's Direwolf's head. All the Stark boys had the wolves....

 

[Uncle Leo]

I wondered if that was the case, but couldn't be sure. Cheers chaps!

  Spoiler:  

The Rickon business is very interesting. Why wouldn't Ramsey just bump him off now?

Ahem, as did Sansa & Arya. Sexist :winking:

  Spoiler:  

Reckon it will have something to do with getting more support from the rest of the north with a Stark present but I dunno

  Spoiler:  

If he did that everyone in the north would quickly turn on Ramsey, I'm guessing he'll want Rickon to announce him as rightful ruler of Winterfell. I'm not convinced this isn't just some kind of ruse though, I remember the direwolves being bigger than that and the guy who bought them to Ramsey clearly doesn't respect him in any way. I'm thinking he saw that Stannis' method of bringing an army didn't work and so is waiting for Ramsey to let his guard down instead.

The Bran story is definitely building to a big reveal (probably to confirming a theory a lot of people believe), Arya is the only story I'm not that interested in at the moment.

I am informed. this morning, from a mate in NZ, that the end of tonight's episode contains scenes of female nudity; so if this detracts from your enjoyment you know what to do!

Whilst your mate is correct this isn't really a bombshell, it's more notable when there isn't nudity in an episode.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Much better episode I thought.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Much better episode I thought.

Agreed.

  Spoiler:  

Feels like some real progress is being made now, especially as Sansa and Jon have been reunited and Dany has got the Dothraki under her thumb. And her boobies out :happy:

Said the same thing yesterday, seems like the storyline has purpose now. Maybe getting rid of the shackles of George RR Martin's rambling plots has freed them up a bit to get going with the story arc now.

Although that said, the Ironborn story line felt like a sideshow in the books so was surprised to see that appear in this series when they mainly ignored it before.

Was it CGI? Thought Emelia Clarke said she wasnt doing any more.
