luxanne: Lol. I think you mistake varys for Littlefinger. Varys has made it clear he doesn't want power or the throne, he want a good realm. 1 Like 1 Share |

gj22: Flay them. Flay them all. Edit - In the Good row only one xter is alive. In the neutral row only one xter is alive and well. In the Evil row two xter are living and breathing. What does this tell you about GoT. Jon Snow would be chaotic moral. According to D & D 3 Likes 2 Shares

Aida13: Well said. I really dont prefer shock to good story telling. |

luxanne: To each his own, true. More are preoccupied with the hotness or otherwise of the scantily clad heroines, but I can't begrudge them their eye candy As to understanding the characters, I feel we never got to see inside their heads. We just see things happening to them, but we aren't allowed to truly experience it through their thoughts and words. Tyrion gets abducted and comes before Dany. They form a kind of connection but it's based on a very scanty convo with the lamest dialogue I've seen Tyrion have with another character in the series. Sansa is practically defiled on her wedding night but apart from her looking like she'd swallowed nails, I don't really feel her pain. Basically, I'm indifferent. The only real emotion I felt was when Shireen was burned. The series was all about action, and not just the battle scenes at Hardhome etc, but the fights: Dorne with the Sand sisters, and Jorah's fights at the arena etc. That part about Game of Thrones I liked, such as the 'intrigue' and back-stabbing was absent this season. Sometimes I like the melodrama that comes with betrayal, jealousy etc. Though we had a taste of it when Cersei threw her son's wife into prison lol. Just saying, the storytelling is wearing thin as the seasons go by. I feel like I've just been through 5 episodes, not 9 or 10. But then again it might be just me. 1 Like |

LeviStark: That was exactly my point. Just as if they led us on with a promise of some good plotting, then just slam us in the face with an unpredictable cliffhanger scene. |

Akanniade: We're going to have to agree to diasgree. He didn't help Sansa escape. Varys was aginst any form of anti-Targ rule. Why didnt he help Ned escape, Jaime was the one who threatened him to save Tyrion. Varys and Illyrio wanted a war in the seven kingdoms, so that when Dany(Aegon in the books) comes, everybody will be depleted, and the conquest will be much easier. He's that kind of ends justify the means guy. That don't mean he's right. When he says he's for the realm, he means for the realm under Targ rule. He knew about Jon Arryn conspiracy, he knew LF planted Ned's death in Joffreys ears, he knew they were planning on killing Robert, why did he kill Kevan, who would have been a good hand. Didnt you watch that scene where Arya was chasing a cat ? No matter how Varys believes he's serving the realm, he's not. |

gj22:Why shudnt I hate her? She's so irrelevant, all she's useful for is absurd advices and irresponsible sexx... |
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Nobody: 4:39pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
Why would someone from Essos even care. Varys does not serve the realm no matter how much he believes it. |
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Akanniade(m): 4:49pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
LeviStark:Like I said , he knows how survive. He has no noble house to lay claim to. I agree his politics is pro - Targ. He offered Shae a new life but was rebuffed. Should he let Ned escape to lose his head? By GOT standards, he's one of the good guys. 1 Like |

Akanniade: Im not saying he's evil. He's just an absolutist. And no he's not one of the good guys. |
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Akanniade(m): 5:22pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
LeviStark:Who then are the good guys? Please name them. |
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Nobody: 6:14pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
Akanniade: If you still think there are good guys or bad guys. You haven't been paying attention. Everyone is grey to a certain extent. |

Aida13: Honestly, I think it's you, not the show. No offence. All season long, I have been able to empathise with characters and see through their eyes. That why they show what is happening to them and the decisions they make. Take stannis for example. As disgusting as his actions were, I understand why he did it because I can connect with him. This connection only came that episode that Jon left for hardhome and was not there previously because of lack of proper screen time. Even Jaime that was the bad guy previously is now a not-soo-bad bad guy. This season is more of stories than action honestly. No huge character has even died. Episode 8 was the only action episode we got so far this season |
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by gj22(m): 6:17pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
LeviStark: That's the thing. What you know doesn't matter because the character doesn't know what you know. He only knows what he knows. And to him, chaos is the only way the realm can be good. This is what makes him an anti-hero, he is doing a bad thing for a good reason. He wants what's best for the realm. |
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by gj22(m): 6:20pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
LeviStark: He does serve the realm but he is going about it the wrong way. Dude. To him, the ends justifies the means. That is the definition of an anti-hero |
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by gj22(m): 6:22pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
CountDracula: Irrelevant? Nah dude. She his behind stannis success. |
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Nobody: 6:28pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
gj22: Someone who indulges in chaos can decide what's best for the realm ? Varys wants whats best for the realm under Targ rule. But overall i think he's misunderstood. |
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by CountDracula(m): 6:30pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
gj22:1st of all, wat success are u talkin abt?is stannis d king yet? I'm in episode 4 of season 5 I'm nt up to date but I'm sure he's nt a king yet.he hasn't won any war also so I'm confused as to d success ure talkin abt 2nd, Stannis is as irrelevant as d whor she's carryin around. He's a stvpid pawn, he jus happens to have a royal blood, personally I dnt see any position he wil b able to occupy, I dnt think he wil ever b any king at all |
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by hulkhiharitoz(m): 6:34pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
Got .... Ep 8 or 9 ... Which one turned u on d most |
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Nobody: 6:38pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
The only way his actions make sense, IMO, is if he's a Targ( or Blackfyre) supporter. Hes more interested in his plan working out than the best plan working out. And funny thing, he thinks his is the best. What a hypocrite. |
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by gj22(m): 6:40pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
LeviStark: This, Gbola5 , is the mistake you are making. Even among bad guys, there are still good guys BY THEIR OWN STANDARDS. |
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Nobody: 6:45pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
gj22: There's a scale. While you can consider Ramsay or LF as black, or Brienne or Davos as white, the majority falls under grey. |
Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by gj22(m): 6:45pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
CountDracula: You might hate Melisandre but dont you dare talk about your king like that. On a more serious note, if after 5 seasons you still think that about stannis that way, then i dont know what show you have been watching. |
