re: Game of Thrones S5:E6:"Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken", HODORS ONLY(No Book Readers)

I've hated the Theon storyline since they started it. It's ridiculous. There's no way out of it other than killing Ramsay otherwise, theres no reason for him to be a part of he show nor have this much of a storyline in the series

I thought the show already caught up with the books and these were new storylines? What am I missing?

It has caught up with the books in some places but not in others I believe. I remember reading an article where the show runners said that Season Six will be the season where they truly go into uncharted waters. As for now, the biggest thing they are doing is killing off characters who have yet to die in the books. That's how I understand it anyway.

Also did they show Bronn getting cut to show us he has been poisoned? Probably reading too much into that.



I thought that at first, definitely possible. Second thought was just to show the chicks could fight.

They're called the "Sand Snakes", their father is Oberyn Martell, and they were purposefully going out to capture Myrcella when they came across Bronn and Jamie. Do you think there was a chance in hell their blades weren't prepared and poisoned?

He ded.

That fight scene with the sand snakes and Jamie and Bronn was so bad. It was like they didn't have any time to rehearse and just went with one take. God it was terrible.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed it.

It was god awful.

Looked like a scene from a Wesley Snipes movie later in his career. fricking awful.

Ramsay is on the show playing the Joffrey role - he is there to anger you.

Once you come to terms with the troll-job Ramsay is it won't annoy you so hard.

Hell, Roose Bolton and Walder Frey orchestrated the Red Wedding 2 seasons ago and they haven't been dealt with at all . The "bad guys" don't lose on this show that often.

It is hard to take the Faith Militant storyline seriously.

might be good to brush up on your history then

This is where the show should've included a detail from the book. Is it ok to post that detail in this thread? The show has moved past that point and I don't think it will spoil anything.

This thread isn't for any book information. None. (And if you've read the books, you shouldn't be posting in here at all.)

I open this thread and read this single page, and see several posts talking about the books. Hilarious.



Anyway, I thought this episode was solid for sure.

I am glad the Sand Snake bullshite seems to already be over. I never took them seriously and never bought that they were some great warriors like Oberyn was. They seemed like 3 (well, four technically I guess) whiney arse women biting off more than they could chew. The battle between them and Jaime/Bronn was hilarious, and I was glad to see Bronn basically just being annoyed the whole time instead of them actually taking it to these two proven badasses.

The Faith Militant thing is getting weird. Not a chance in hell a king would let his queen be carted away like that. As much of an a-hole as Joffrey was, he at least knew the power he had (though he abused it and whatnot). Tommen sitting there like an idiot while Margaery was taken was horrible. This better blow up in Cersei's face soon or I will be pissed.

I can't stand the way he is acted, and most of his storylines so far, but I'll be damned if Petyr LF Baelish isn't slowly becoming one of my favorite characters. Dude is playing one hell of a game still, and is positioning himself up nicely for the future. Can't wait to see how that plays out.

I'm still confused on Arya and that whole thing, but it's interesting at least. I was way more of a Jaqen H'ghar fan when he was out busting asses though, rather than in his robe "training" Arya. Hopefully that plot advances a lot more before this season ends. That room with thousands of faces was pretty awesome.

Some solid acting by Jorah Mormont this episode. Hearing about his father's death, as well as him telling Tyrion why he believes in Daenerys so much. Can't wait to see Tyrion interact with Dany, and hope that starts happening soon.

And I still can't believe how interested I am in Sansa/Theon now...they both sucked balls for so long, but now it's one of the more interesting things on the show. I thought it was weird that they allowed him to give her away as "Theon, of the house Greyjoy" instead of "Reek." Hopefully Ramsay gets his soon, and at the hands of Theon...and then Sansa gets her revenge on Theon shortly therafter. I wouldn't mind her becoming some sort of badass since she's been such a pussy (and a pawn) thus far.

Yeah Jorah was the highlight of the episode. After that I was pretty pissed that he is going to die...or at least it looks like he is going to die.

Jorah may die.. but I think he will wreck someone in the fighting pits first. And that grey scale will come into play somehow.
