Re: ASOIAF: Game of Thrones

Spoiler: show
Some sort of resolution is definitely coming with the High Sparrow, but I love his segments in each episode. He's such a contrast to everything else. I like how powerless and irrelevant everyone and everything at King's Landing has become, mostly because of him.
This season has been the best since season 2 and it might even be able to surpass that by the end. I really like the direction everything is moving in and for the first time it actually feels like the show is building toward a resolution, even if it's still far off in the distance.

And RE: last night's episode: That was a different kind of emotional debilitation than I'm used to experiencing from Game of Thrones. :(

I feel the same. :hug:
Me too, sort of. I enjoyed the season from start to finish, but when it wrapped up it didn't feel like enough had happened for a full season. The only plots that felt concluded in any way were the ones around the Wall (though of course, the Wall storyline is really only just beginning but YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN). Arya's story was very good, but felt like it could have all been covered in half a season, and did it really need to take Tyrion 8 episodes to meet Dany? His whole journey felt a bit dragged out (but his eventual arrival and entrance at the fighting pit was one of the highlights of the season).

I've been deliberately avoiding the books so I can enjoy the show on its own merits. I think it's working. If i'd read the books i assume i'd have a number of complaints that don't even exist in my ignorant brain right now. The show is doing just fine.
