Why? Lady stone heart was stupid in the books anyways and makes no sense for the show. Briennes already saved sansa, theyre miles ahead of that being relevant, and they found her like a day or two later in the books. She would be so decayed to nothingness by now in the show it wouldnt make sense.
Word to cersei nuking kings landing though. Also i think this season is solid. We all knew jon snow wasnt dead, comparing it to such a shit show like walking dead is blasphemy. As a book reader this is the first season ive seen off the books, so maybe thats why i notice no dropoff, its all new to me so maybe it makes up for the factor of knowing how things will play out? Also arya becoming an assassin isnt off book tho. Literally her leaving/attempting to is the only part the books havent gotten too yet

I agree about Lady Stoneheart, it would be a bad idea on the show. This season has already gotten way into the supernatural aspects.
Gotta disagree with this tho: Quote:
The pacing is shit too. Ramsay Bolton needs to be doing something fucked up like every episode. Even if he isn't on the show, there needs to be something to keep his heel heat alive. A month ago, you had people wanting to see Ramsay gutted with a Slap Chop, now they're like OH YEAH I FORGOT ABOUT HIM, I REMEMBER HATING HIM. |

I didn't mind Jon Snow coming back; i thought it was a given. But I agree with a lot of Batty's points. Also, the season just feels disjointed and also lacking any heft. Too many characters are just circling around until their 'big moment'. This was the case in previous seasons but in those the machinations and dialogue were interesting and weighty. I don't care about a lot of scenes this season.

Yeah, turns out I was wrong about the needle thing, the old woman/waif just had a long dagger that looked like needle, but Aryas a dickhead. She takes this coin and goes to the far off place to the temple and begs to be taught. Then slays the dudes apprentice and says like Nah, I wanna go home. And to where, it was already established that she had no where else to go. stupid.

This is easily the worst season yet
Someone major needs to die and not come back to fucking life I was hoping the blood would lead to aryas face in the hall and that story line would finally end but I'm at least happy she's leaving now and not spending another season doing fuck all |

It was. And that was basically it. The dialogue and intrigue has gone way down in quality this season. It just feels like a shallower and flimsier show this year.

Previous seasons it was fun to see how the books were brought to life, but the thrill of "what's gonna happen?" wasn't there and it annoyed me when they deviated from the books for no good reason. Not knowing what's gonna happen now has me more invested in the show. I do concede there have been some stupid bits, but that's nothing new ... Varys's little trip -- for the purpose of what happens in the epilogue of ADWD? Or something else? Spoiler thoughts: Kevan isn't really in charge in King's Landing now, so it doesn't seem like Vary needs to kill him... Perhaps he will kill Tommen or the high Septon instead? Orrrrrr... Could this be where Aegon is finally introduced?
