    That episode sucked ass. Should have called it "1-800-Dial-A-Dragon". The show has turned into a shitty video game just because they don't want to budget for a full season. What a crock of fucking shit.

    George R.R. Martin has written many TV scripts. I can't wait to see what he says about this pile of dung a few years from now when he is in the clear.

    Boatsex incoming.

    The fast pace doesn't even make sense , Blake.

    Can you explain to me what Sam actually accomplished by going to the Citiadel? They wasted like 8 episodes of him there just to grab a few books and quit.

    Euron greyjoy can go from one side of the continent to the other in a single episode, and yet an army of the dead, which doesnt sleep or rest btw, can't even do a forced march over to Eastwatch in like 3-4 seasons?

    George RR Martin's whole idea is everything flows naturally and has a consequence. Robb Stark "had" to die based on his choices at the Red Wedding. Ever since the show detached from what was written, it really has become unmoored. Characters are now doing things that just doing really go anywhere.

    Sure that was a problem in the books too, but I dont know if i like seeing it on the screen.
    Sam accomplished a ton. He lead them to the Dragon Glass and saved ole dude which is going to be extremely important obviously.

    The East Watch situation can actually be explained pretty easily. If you watch the opening credits it has always been a lake to the east of the Wall. Now it has iced over due to winter. Greyjoys deal can't lol.

    Look, you can get all bent out of shape over travel logistics or enjoy the main point of things. We don't know the time frame between scenes and frankly, I don't care.

    As far as Sam, he learned about dragon glass. He learned about how to cure Greyscale. He learned how the Citadel works (and doesn't work) and made out with a treasure trove of information. Sounds like a lot to me

    I've noticed the differences so far this season and the writing does seem to struggle at times.

    On the flip side we got so see a dragon take out a convoy from the air like a medieval A-10 on a strafing run.

    So I take the good with the bad... lol

    I see the points you guys are making, but I personally have enjoyed the faster pace and it's worth putting up with a bit of fast traveling to do it. There are parts of the first 4-ish seasons that are just ponderous. I'm glad we're actually getting into things and the speed at which they're moving is exciting. Maybe that makes me a non-book-reading troglodyte, but I think the quality is just as good as it's been, just different.

    Truth. It's sad they didn't just stick to the recipe. It was good when they followed Martins script. I read the books. Wife didn't. She nearly called it quits when they put Neds head on a stick.....

    Now I'm think of Ned. Who's (Z)Ned? (Z)Ned's dead.... as I ride off into the sunset Bruce Willis style.
