re: Game of Thrones S5:E9:"The Dance of Dragons", HODORS ONLY(No Book Readers)

I almost gave up on the show after Kahl Drogo died from a small scratch like a pussy.

This story is based on a time when people didn't know what germs were. They use leeches and crap. Wounds got infected and people died from simple wounds all the time.

Not to mention that witch purposefully botched the first aid.

The whole scene in the middle of the arena reminded me of the arena scene in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

Was waiting for Yoda to come in on a ship yelling,"Around the survivors, a perimeter create!"

I was not expecting the Harpy's to attack, but I did expect Zou Bisou Bisou to try doing something to betray Dany (maybe not here, but at some point).

Kind of puzzling that the Harpy's did not attack all out when they were in the middle of the arena. The old "attack them one at a time" routine. Have they never seen a ninja movie? or a bond movie?

I fricking hate Stannis and Melisandre (still love her tits, though).

Will have to watch again, as I was watching LSU/USL game too.

I figured that it had to be an infected part. Those stone people that Jorah fought were entirely covered.

Ah ok

I figured it had some significance because the camera zoomed in on the contact both times.

I started singing Neverending Story while she was riding the dragon. That's how bad it looked.

Eta. Guess I wasn't the only one thinking that.

Hey, at least we got Hizdahr zo Loraq out of the picture.

Burning Stannis' daughter was actually pretty funny because it was so ridiculous. That's the hardest I've laughed in the history of this show.

What did your mother do to you?

--I realize it may have looked a bit cheesy, but we all had to know that at some point SOMEBODY was going to have to ride a dragon.

--I'm also not buying the attack by Ramsay. "Hundreds" of horses?

I think the finale is going to leave the biggest cliffhanger yet. We usually get the resolution of quite a few story lines. We are not left wondering,"OMG...I can't wait to find out what happens to so-n-so". We are usually left looking forward to the next season.

i thought she was going to pull a dany until the screams really amped up

Is there such a thing as too much screaming when you are a child being burned alive?? I found it to be pretty unsettling. I wish his army would abandon him for pulling that stunt.
