re: Game of Thrones S6:E3 "Oathbreaker" Bookreader Thread

Yeah. I have no issues with Reed stabbing Dayne in the back. My problems are with everything else.

Reed stabbing Dayne in the back is the only thing that they got right.

Anyone else notice that the 3-eyed raven said he has been entangled in that tree for a 1000 years?

So I guess he's not married to the red titty witch.

So I assume that the show is just dropping the idea that the Three-Eyed Raven is Brynden Blackfyre?

Episode sucked

Tower of Joy- Good job on D&D making this meaningless. Good wham pow action I guess

Dany- don't give a shite

Mereen- don't give a shite

Wall- solid but because of Dany& Tyrion storylines we get 5 minutes here

King's Landing- same as the wall

Winterfell- fricking retarded. I'm mad at Jon Snow so here's the 12 year old boy I'm supposed to protect

Disappointed with the Tower of Joy scene. They made Arthur fricking Dayne a medieval Darth Maul.

How hard would it have been to have a third King's guard like in the books? Then maybe they don't look like jackasses because Dayne can use only one sword

And which fricking sword was Dawn? For a sword that gives the wielder the title "Sword of the Morning" they both looked pathetic. Both those swords looked like he grabbed them off a community rack before heading outside and was sharpening them out of necessity so they could cut through more than a piece of paper.

Why do they have Ned ask where his sister is? Ned knows goddamn well where his sister is. He wasn't out for a leisurely stroll with his hombres.

Why does Bran think Ned beat Dayne one on one? And why has he heard the story a thousand times? Its out of character for Ned to boast and even more out of character for him to leave out the part that he wouldn't have survived if not for Howland Reed.

And then, as if shitting on the scene wasn't enough they cut before the only part that the book readers care about.

frick

eta- and they got the casting backwards. Dayne should have been the blonde dude and Whent (assuming thats who he was) the guy with short hair.

Because frick you that's why. It was nice watching Dayne's overrated arse get stabbed in the back, couldn't even see a frog man coming at him, pssshhhh.
So he had two swords, who cares? George RR Martin's works aren't the gospel, and maybe that IS how it happened and the story told in the books is wrong.

You don't know so stop acting like a bitch.

And Dayne's overrated

If one of them is supposed to be Dawn, then it is the one he stabs into the ground and the one that Ned finishes Dayne off with. It had a sun with rays coming out of it on the pommel. But shouldn't it have been a star of some sort if it was Dawn?

quote:

He didn't need to ask Ser Arthur where she is though, does he?

---

Holy shite. What a thing for people to harp on.

It's just a line to inform the viewers that she's in the tower. He looks up, says "where is my sister" and the audience knows she's up there.

More organically? What the frick does that mean?

So do I, but there's time constraints, budget constraints,

It would have been a shorter and cheaper scene to stick with the book dialogue and not make the fight scene so damn long.

The show has done a putrid job of talking about Howland Reed,
Dayne, etc. If I'm a Hodor all I take away is some guy with Targaryen armor handling Ned and some Northmen. Besides, that battle isn't what was important, it was what they were fighting for.
