You can change it from chapters to episodes at the top, I posted mainly for the map. You dont have to mess with anything if you just want to use the map to see where everything is.

The only good thing about last week was that I didn't have to see Bran. In all seriousness this is my absolute favorite show on television and I love it. Last week was OK but not my favorite as I am interested in GOT for the political intrigue and not the Lord of the Rings angle. I still enjoyed the episode. I do feel like Bran's story has dragged on at an unbearable pace and Jon Snow's storyline is pretty boring as well. I honestly cringe every time I see Bran on screen but I am beginning to tolerate Snow a little better.

This shite is why people hate LOST after loving it the first few seasons.


You're right. The show has obviously gone to shite. Better stop watching now before you waste any more of your precious time.

I think when Bran gets to the tree (from previews it looks like it may happen this week), something interesting will occur. I pretty much agree with your sentiments, though.

Like I said previously, this past episode felt like an action movie. It wasn't very thought provoking, which is a completely different direction from what we're used to GoT delivering.

I'm hoping we get two "episode 9's" this season. We got a Blackwater type now let's hope we get a Red Wedding type.

I don't think Bran either but Snow? Then we got a problem

You're talking to my guy all wrong. It's the wrong tone. Do it again and I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron

I enjoy the character of Jon Snow and think he's going to play a big role in the future, but his scenes really aren't very compelling.

I just feel like his story is too predictable, when I'm watching the Jon Snow scenes it feels like I'm watching a television show/movie. I don't really get that same feeling when watching some of the other story lines.

Which means he probably will be flayed, drawn and quartered in the next episode immediately upon going north of the wall.

Agreed. Jon Snow sucks dick most of the time (sorry, wildcat). Not as much as, say, Bran's storyline, but still is pretty uninteresting usually.

Also, I guess we just assume that Rickon and Osha are just roaming all over Westeros at this point...they've been forgotten basically.

Aren't they at Last Hearth. That's where Bran told them to go at the end of last season.

That's where they were headed, but we have no idea where they are currently.

They were completely useless at this point so they just kind of cut them out of the story thankfully.

JS is like Arya - his story is about the long game. There is no instant gratification and the progression is gradual, so people get bored.

He clearly is learning things ("you know nothing, Jon Snuh") which will likely lead up to his eventual leadership of something. Learning how to lead (from Mormont, Thorne, Aemon) how to survive at all costs (not being an honorable idiot like Ned, stabbing ppl back of the head when they aren't looking, betraying the oaths etc).

Arya is learning how to kill in different way from various top-tier killers and fighters. She has basically been wandering around for 3 seasons, but she is clearly another character that will likely have a big impact on the overall story.

I think people get bored with Night's Watch/Theon/Bran/anything North also bc the action in the South @ Kings Landing is usually so awesome (and has the best actors playing the roles).

ermagahd that article gives me the tingles!!!! can't wait for sunday!!!

“It’s the best finale we’ve ever done, bar none,” Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss said in a statement. “The performances from our cast, the direction from Alex Graves, the VFX work, the new [music] cues from Ramin Djawadi—all of it came together in perhaps the finest hour we’ve produced. We’re immensely proud of ‘The Children.’ And a little intimidated by the episode, because now we have to get back to the business of season five and figure out a way to top it.

It's a good thing that my office has a strict "no taking off your pants" rule after reading that article.
