This season was cut short wasn't it? 7 episodes rather than the usual 10. I'm sure they could have done Casterly Rock and/or High Garden a bit more in depth.
It's actually extended. This was meant to be the last season but instead it's 7 and 6 episodes. So squeezed an extra 3 eps.
It is shorter, but as Sydney said, the original plan was for this to be the final series, but instead we have another one after this which is six episodes long, so we have 13 episodes instead of 10. Going into High Garden in depth would've been a tad pointless really, the Tyrell soldiers have always been known as a bit crap. The Olenna scene was all we needed.
We could have at least seen the slaughter. They like to skip the best bits, like when Rob Stark annihilated the Lannister army back in the beginning.
It's not that they like to skip bits, it's all about the show's budget. Hence why we rarely get episodes like Hardhome and Battle of the Bastards, which is a good thing because only having those sorts of episodes on occasion makes them better, and in the case of Hardhome IMO, it's the best episode they've ever done. It's also about time - the lack of battle is replaced with what is undoubtedly a much more important and better scene between Jaime and Olenna. I'd rather them spend time on that scene over a massively one-sided battle with an obvious end. They're clearly saving up for something, and by the looks of things, we'll start seeing it next week.
We've all got an Aunty who thinks she's a bit special and a cut above the rest of the family.... (I wish I had an Aunty that looked like Daenerys BTW)
She's meant to be like this atm, that's the point. She says she's nothing like her father, but deep down she's equally as insane and doesn't realise it. Jon's heritage will have a massive part in what Dany eventually does. By 'her whole gang', you better not be including Tyrion... man's a ****ing legend.
Do we think we are too far off piste from the books for Lord Jon Connington,and Aegon to still turn up with the Golden Company? I'd thought he was the 3rd seat on the Dragons but I guess he's been written out.....
He's good , mainly the wooden one who used to be in hollyoaks, nice norks but annoying actress , let's just say i wouldn't shed any tears if she came unstuck via a mountain fisting
There isn't a poor storyline at the moment probably for the first time in GoT history. There's no fillers, everything that's happening at the moment is proper important. Love it. Thought that Cersei kissing Spoiler Jaime after having poison on her lips was a bit ****ing risky.
im back tracking a bit here , but the best looking one in GoT was the red head hooker Tyrion was nobbing , she is the one killed by the arrow in Joffreys bedroom , next was one of the Dornish slussies the one last seen gagging on her stomach juices with her ma ... my question - if not a spoiler is , when we got the reveal to JS parentage , i forget the scene and need a little memory jog , cheeeers
