Too many story arcs.
Hardly enough time to tell a story when you're only getting 5 - 10 minutes a week of one character.
Haven't even been reintroduced to the Greyjoys or Bran yet.

I liked it. Although if the butthurt book-purists are to be believed, that should be impossible.
Reminder: something isn't a plot hole just because it doesn't match the way you envisioned the story.
And ofc a retard comes up, trying to be all preachy and talking about "purists" when the main complaints of the last ten pages were about the plotholes WITHIN the show. We talked about the show, no comparison. The plotholes are huge and the writting makes no sense. Nothing to do about being a puriste, it's about having a critical mind that can differentiate good episodes from bad ones. This one had one part that was good. Jon and Davos.
I'll write it in a way you can understand it.
No Comparison. Episode 1 bad writting. Bad directing. Plot holes. Not good episode.
Yeah definitely. The Dorne/Sand Snakes thing is a really terrible way to carry on the drama that existed when Oberyn was alive. The writing for him was definitely better but that guy could act and really delivered memorable scenes and frankly if they weren't going to keep the caliber of writing and acting somewhat consistent they should have just kept Dorne as a distant threat to show up in table conversations and the like but not waste huge amounts of screentime on it like they have.
That they decided to devote huge amounts of time to the storyline there and made of it what they did shows real poor form and quality. If it continues it'll make me somewhat glad that the rumors are the last 2 seasons will be like 7-8 episodes a piece since they're basically running out of 'good writing juice' and having to resort to shoddy drama and plotmaking devices.
I enjoyed the episode overall, but we're also in that kind of territory where there's few people to actually get attached to. Bit players in the early seasons are now front and center and they don't have the charisma nor personality that really makes you hang at the seats' edge. It makes me think of that thing someone once said: "What would happen to the world if the heroes and dreamers all died and we were left with the second-raters to decide our fate?"

Banned at least 10 times. Don't give a fuck, going to keep saying what I want how I want to.
Eat meat. Drink water. Do cardio and burpees. The good life.
Jesus christ, this thread is just ruined with all the butthurt children moaning about the books. As somebody who reads the books and watches the show, it's utterly fucking pathetic. Go circle jerk about how great the books are in the book thread.
Screw it. Thread is all but ruined by the exact same 5 posters who barf up the same post every time new information is discovered.
This thread needs Garian back to tell us the ultimate end goal of D&D mary sue's agenda
Ugh, half of the episode was like writing of some 10 year old, who then read it in front of the class and all of a sudden thought 'oh shit, guess i didnt think this through, it doesnt make much sense... welp too late now'
From bad pussy to greedy bitch. dem naughty girls
Episode was fine overall but the Dorne plot has really hit rock-bottom, there's no saving that cesspit now.
Favorite part was definitely the banter at Khal Moro's place.

Overall boring episode, for me...Hope it's going to get better.
Man...this episode really seems to be a touchy subject lol
Nah just a lot of passionate people upset about the quality of the show going down. Personally I'm ok with it, Theres still good stuff on the show and the first 4 seasons are among the best TV around so I'm thankful for what we got and see the rest as a bonus.
Entertainment that grows as big as game of thrones or walking dead eventually suffers I think. So easy to buckle under your own weight. And people have been attaching real world issues to this show since the start so again not surprised outside factors have crept in.
The quality of writing in parts is making the show look like parody. Which in this genre is very easy to do.

Like a lot of people are saying/thinking, the North arc - Jon/Night's Watch; Sansa/Davos/Northern Houses; Bran/WW - is what's gonna carry this season. We might see a few good moments here and there, but we all know the most interesting stuff will be happening up north.
I do wonder if we will get some round about Lady Stoneheart action from Sansa this season. Episode 3 is called Oathbreaker and Brieanne/Sana just exchanged oaths.
