Game of Thrones Catch-up: 5x03-5x05

May 17, 2015 11:54

Guys I think someone should go check on the temperature in Hell, because this season of Game of Thrones has actually been GOOD! O_o I'm still in a state of shock tbh; I really didn't think this show had it in them. Aside from a couple of random scenes in 5x04 and 5x05 respectively, the last 3 episodes straight have managed to hold my interest from ( Read more... )

Lol! Glad you are enjoying the show more! :) I like having longer periods of screentime with each set of characters, too.

I am still disgusted that D&D seem to think that the only way they could show Margaery influencing Tommen was through sex, when she was perfectly able to do so through kittens and cake in the book, however. :/
Yep, pretty much. :/

AND THEN WE FINALLY SAW SER JORAH AGAIN! ♥ :D Thankfully not with one of the prostitutes dressed as Dany on his lap
If that had happened I would have laughed soooo hard.

I loved seeing some Roose/Fat Walda, especially him not rising to Ramsay's bait about her size. <33 The most unexpectedly sweet ship in Westeros!
Yassss unstoppable Bolton love. :P

I suspect we will witness Ramsay's assassination of the baby at some point though, le sigh.
Yeah I think so too... Ramsay get your cray away from Walda... and Sansa.

Heh, thanks! Unfortunately though it looks like almost everyone else is enjoying the show less now...which is understandable, although I feel like even aside from that one scene, people are poo-pooing the season in areas where it isn't deserved. Oh well...

If that had happened I would have laughed soooo hard.

Nooo I would have been cringing! :o I mean I can see it in the book, but Show!Jorah has always been a lot more classy and less creepy, so I don't think it would have fit him...

Yeah I think so too... Ramsay get your cray away from Walda... and Sansa.

I would add Theon to this list as well...:p

People being fandom people, or people in general? The people I know outside fandom who watch GOT are still enjoying it as much as ever.

He has to let out all that repressed love for Dany somehow. What way more dignified than with a Dany cosplayer? 0:)

And... nope. :P But be comforted, they have big hugs after a hard day's torturing:

Well I guess mainly ONTD and Tumblr, although when the subject of GoT came up tonight at a BSG game the others all thought this season wasn't as good as previous ones...

Nooo, he would just sadface mournfully at that insult to her dignity! ;)

And lol at that gif, I still need to watch that Red Nose special...

Roman bridge in Cordoba

Is that what it was? My parents remarked on the bridge, they thought it looked like the one at Avignon.

sherrilina May 23 2015, 18:39:44 UTC

Yep, it is--I even double-checked before posting! ;) I believe the bridge in Avignon was also built by the Romans though, so it makes sense that it would look similar!

I have no idea where the thousands of GoT fans are hiding out. Certainly not here on lj. BUT if you read this someday, I hope you would point me towards active GoT discussions and hopefully Theon fans. Preferably here on LJ. I also hope to find more reviews like yours. Would have liked to read what your impressions were of season five's final episodes. Or other people's. Love Alfie to bits and pieces.

Hello there! *waves*

I have no idea where the thousands of GoT fans are hiding out. Certainly not here on lj. BUT if you read this someday, I hope you would point me towards active GoT discussions and hopefully Theon fans. Preferably here on LJ.

Alas, LJ is pretty dead these days, which is a real shame when it comes to discussing stuff. The main community where GoT discussion happens now is ONTD (ohnotheydidnt), although there is less of it now since a lot of people there haven't liked the last two seasons. But there are still a lot of news and interview posts, and inevitable discussion in the comments. And usually live-watching posts for the episodes.

I also hope to find more reviews like yours. Would have liked to read what your impressions were of season five's final episodes. Or other people's. Love Alfie to bits and pieces.I posted reviews for every episode of season 5 except for the finale, because I still haven't gotten around to finishing it, derp. Most of my stuff is f-locked though, which is why you can't see them atm...but since I ( ... )

Hellooo :D

I can't wait to read your reviews!! I began reading the books before the show but wasn't really taken with them. Well, I did like a lot of the characters such as Tyrion, Jaime, Brienne, Theon, Jon Snow, Ygritte, etc. But I wasn't blown away by the writing probably because English isn't my first language and so, it quickly became a bit long winded.

But I love the show eventhough it's a bit too gory/violent for my liking. And well, Theon's story has broken my heart and I'm in awe of Alfie Allen's acting.

I think I found you eithre via GRRM's posts here on LJ tagged Theon Greyjoy or Alfie Allen. If that's not where I found you I visit only these places: Tumblr, A03, instagram, and twitter. :) I think I remember that you linked to your livejournal account, so maybe it was on tumbrl? (Thing is I've been searching high and low for reviews and people who like the show and Theon, really. So it's all quite jumbled.)
