  1. Horrible.

    Spoiler

    I agree with Stephan - the council was like we’d suddenly morphed into LOTR. I half expected Gandalf to show up.

    No real magic anywhere this season and when Jon killed Deni - meh - an allegory for this season really - a tepid tame scene with a shrug of the shoulders from those of us watching.

     

  2. @HanoiVillan and other fans of Chernobyl. 

    I just found that there is a companion podcast to the show. It's with the writer Craig Mazin and Peter Sagal. (Sagal is a writer, radio presenter/comedian - sorta like a US Stephen Fry but not at all up his own arse - just a funny interesting intellectual.)

    It's very interesting indeed and they spell out exactly what was fact what was fiction and how they made their judgements - they even talk about why the accents are not Russian.

    It's also been released on Youtube. You should listen episode 1 after watching ep 1 of the TV show and so on.

    Got offered hospitality tickets by one of my clients which would have probably been a box as well. Works said no way. 

    I'll take one! :D

    I'm enjoying it too. I found it quite distracting that everyone was speaking in English, but once you get over that it's really good. 

    Yeah me too. Then I thought it would be worse if everyone was doing fake Russian accents!

    I will check out the cellist for sure. :thumb:

    @TheAuthority because Twitter and /r/gameofthrones have been begging for it for about five years.

    . . . and, as with other things written by fans previously ('Snakes On A Plane' springs to mind), it turns out that what fans want is usually far worse than just ignoring them completely. 

     

  6. Just seen it. Terrible - how many times did Arya get almost killed and fall over?

    Spoiler

     

    Why spend so much time on the Hound & the Mountain fight. They aren't principal characters I don't give a f*^k.

    Lannisters just die like that? Awful.

     

    This season has been dreadful.

    I'm going to be on a **** aeroplane all day.

    **** me, it's going to be agony.

    Who are you flying with and where will you be en-route when the game is taking place?

    Some airlines have live TV for at least part of the journey. A lot also have internet so at least you can follow the VT match thread - it's always positive in there ;)
