Why would a follower of the Lord of light quote the many face god.. twice?

Spectacle and fan service, that's what this show is mostly about. Even if it's at the expense of the plot and story line.

Perhaps.


Makes for some excellent viewing though regardless.

Game of Thrones: Emilia Clarke Says Episode 5 Will Blow 'The Battle of Winterfell' Away

Please tell me it will be in daylight ....

The picture, special effects and cinematography (except on the last episode) are really good, but the story line is far from excellent, acting has been okay, can't blame the actors though if there's a lack of compelling dialogue.

We have entire story lines which we have to wonder why they were pushed so hard for seasons, that have been rendered moot, in the grand scheme of things they didn't matter. Also subverting expectations for the sake of "subverting" is a far cry from when they did it in the earlier seasons (1-3) to move the plot forward.

Over-analysis just takes away from the experience I find. I just tend to enjoy it for what it is and not what it could/should be.

This ^. Episode 3 would have been epic if I could see what was happening 90% of the episode.

Spoiler alert!

Then it would have been a longer version of Battle of the Bastards.

It was fine at night. Should have just had a bit more lightning so the compression didn't make it look so bad...

 

[The Voice]

Lighting was fine. Made it more immersive.

Here's an ALT-RIGHT perspective on the episode

More like a right wing take down of an SJW perspective of the episode.

Suggesting Daenerys purposely genocided her troops via a suicidal charge because of the cultural difference between these troops and natives that steps into the realm of alt- right logic

Why didn't you turn up the lighting on your TV?

So the final episode is just gonna be one long epilogue?

He didn't suggest that. He suggests it was for the best. Which it was for the reasons he gives. The Dothraki are not good people. Their lifestyle depends on conquering and enslaving.

 

[phoneJunky]

Yeah but followers of the Red God hate all other gods. Remember Melisandre made Stannis burn down the God's Wood

The Godwood is not part of the 7. It was used to pray to the Old Gods

He did ..rather subtlety.

I was looking forward to seeing the Dothraki conquer and pillage Westeros in the name of Daenerys and seeing what tension it would cause to Daenerys' cause.

And add another season to deal with all the social issues? No thanks. Story needs to be wrapped up. All that can be covered in the books...
