Double post.

ApexTitan:
...Apart from dying her hair Sansa has made little effort in concealing herself, she is riding with LF through the country. Are we to believe that the whole of the seven kingdoms have relegated her to past history? No one, not even travelling merchants or soldiers bothered to (casually) mention a sighting of her to anyone in King's Landing?...

Oh Kings Landing will hear soon enough, but the news will have to come by road - and Moat Cailin (which is where Sansa was first openly recognized) to Kings Landing no be one day waka. And from all I've seen, "raven-mail" is managed by maesters, and only great houses can keep a maester... so no "raven-mail" for the little folks.


P.S: In a totally unrelated topic, wtf did Seun do to NL mobile platform??

ApexTitan:
Hmmm. That's something I never considered; How is it that Sansa who is wanted for her alleged role in killing King Joffery shows up at Winterfell? How is Cersei whose blood is hot for vengeance not aware of this development?

The answer is actually obvious if you look at it carefully... It was Tywin that everyone feared, not Cercei. And now he's dead. Even Lord Bolton admitted as much to his son when they discussing Ramsay's method of rule. Secondly, Petyr Baelish is Cercei's main source of power and influence outside of KingsLanding (as evidenced by the crow missive she sent asking him to come back to the capital); at the present location so up in the North, Petyr is actually her ONLY reliable source - the North has no love for her. And the Boltons who could have informed her are now forging new alliances.

So both Petyr and Roose Bolton are now brave to do things they'd never have tried before - unveil the heir to the North and make her alliance. With the Tyrells cleaning their chops and eager for a killing, House Lannister is really weak (remember they are still reeling from the costs of the war with Robb Stark and Stannis). Tywin is dead - Cercei can scream blue murder all she wants, Kevan will be sure to caution restraint - Tyrion was the one accused, they can afford to let the lil she-wolf go. Otherwise, alienate Petyr and Bolton, and the crown loses the North AND the Vale... again.

Gbola5:
Not you the show producers. And its weird how Brienne can find Sansa at the Vale and at the North in a very short time.

There's a whole world of debate ongoing about that last scene; was it Moat Cailin or Winterfell? (Sansa and Petyr meeting the Boltons). See https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/34cbnl/spoilers_all_season_5_ep_3_question_moat_cailin/ but beware spoilers.

But that washerwoman's statement (``Welcome home, Lady Stark. The North remembers" ) pretty much settles it for me.

Minemrys:
0nly heard of the film n0t seen it. L0oks interesting fr0m the name and actorz in it, how is it? Has any0ne seen insurgent?

divergent, insurgent, whats that last one to be called again? detergent...?
Never really liked them "young teen" movies, lack real substance IMO. I made the mistake of reading the books back when folks were comparing hunger games, the maze, and divergent... Was a real bad idea.

Minemrys:
bale's batman was slow. Way too slow. Batman begins scene was cos the guys weren't prepared. Watch the fight with bane, the thugs in tdkr.

If you are going to talk of his speed in TDKR, then you need to remember that he's SUPPOSED to be slow by then. And I'm not talking of comic book iterations. I take the character the way it is presented, and in TDKR he's supposed to be tired and retired.

Minemrys:
yea likewise. There were less hum0rs and they came at the right time. Like when fury was attacked in his car, the only thing n0t damaged in it was the a.c very funny and the elevator scene hum0r plus the quote "if they are sh0oting at you, they are bad" would love if bats was tough as cap and a genius. That way he'll bring s0mething to the justice league unlike black widow. Still d0n't kn0w her job on the avengers other than l0ok sexy and being a w0man.

Whoever wrote this nonsense is just looking to be noticed. Nolan made 3 Batman movies and Snyder made one Sups, and suddenly they have ruined super hero movies?? Interestingly (and annoyingly, I might add), the only point he/she made to support his claim - that Nolan's dark-hued take on the Batman saved the day - actually counts AGAINST his topic!

Minemrys:
n0ne the ideal batman hasn't being depicted in live acti0n only in cart0ons. D0n't kn0w why we arguing cap and bats. Lets agree the bale batman was stiff and dull and we need the genius batman. If bale bats were to be in justice league, w0n't u w0nder why clark would need him? That one has no brains. No odd fighting skills. By saying batman is human and should be treatd like one is saying children shouldn't be scared of the night. Batman is intellectually and tactically smart. If n0t who makes him his weap0ns? Alfred? No fox? No, in the c0mics fox only runs wayne enterprise. Bats is like stark, sherlock holmes and james b0nd altogether. Cap is only a soldier twice a n0rmal soldier. Fact.

This is why I don't like making comparisons between super heroes - they are products of the imaginations of more than one author/writer/artist/movie director, thus their attributes NEVER stay the same. Good example: in "Justice League: War", Superman beat Batman AND Green Lantern together, as in, the kind of "knacking" he gave both of them is best described as "dont be stup!d"! But from what i can glean from the BvS trailer, apparently Bats is going be able to hold his own here.

Personally though (and this is just my opinion), I think Bale's Batman was wee bit slow - the fight sequences left a bit to desired. The one fight in the trilogy that gets a true pass-mark is the BatsVsBane in the sewers. Well, Mr. Synder's job on MoS rates pretty good on fights, so I hope BvS will be ok.

EDIT: Wait, I take it back - Bale's Batman wasn't slow - i still remember how fast he took down the guys at the docks in Batman Begins. Then in TDK, he didn't really have much fight scenes (apart from the ending sequence that I couldn't make head or tail out of). So no, he wasn't really slow, it was the fight sequences that just seemed, i dunno, cluttered up, like it was glossed over.

^^^
With the death of Tywin, Petyr Baelish is probably the most dangerous person in the Seven Kingdoms right now. Sansa might yet grow, but i don't see her ever outgrowing his influence.

I think we've sufficiently dissuaded the GoT S05 haters... perhaps its time we return back to some real discussion.

And I happen to have a topic in mind: Based on what we've seen so far of Lady Sansa, the only known living heir to Winterfell, where do you see her in the next two/three episodes? Does she metamorphose into a true GoT player, or does she continue being played? (Please note: all thoughts and conjectures should be based solely on the TV show).

What I think: yes, LF has really taught her well, but she (Sansa) still lacks a great deal of "smarts". Why else turn Brienne away totally? Yes Brienne failed her mother and has been "fraternizing with the enemy" (i.e. Jaime Lannister), but she is also the first person to openly offer Sansa her support without hope of some kind of gain. No other northerner, whether bannerman or free rider, has even made the effort to find her, let alone offer support. The wise thing - in my opinion anyway - would have been tongue-lash Brienne for failing her Lady mother (Catelyn) so horribly (heck, nobody likes a useless subordinate), warn her that any further failure will lead to her death, accept her fealty upon pain of death, and then keep her at arm's length while you study and verify her motives (I know this is what the Imp would have done - half-a-supporter is better than none at all). OR, if you are so sure she's not trustworthy, then make sure she is killed (Cersei or Tywin would have done this). I mean, this is the Brienne whom King Renly died on her watch, then she managed to "kidnap" Jaime back to Kings Landing, AND somehow manages to locate Ned Stark's heir that NO ONE else could find - you don't leave someone like that alive if you don't trust them abeg!

Anyhow sha, i think Brienne will come in at some point, in fact I see her having a brutal standoff with Ramsay Bolton soon - perhaps to save Sansa or something like that.

What do you guys think?

gj22:


Prisonbreak got boring after season 2.

Amen, brother.

ITbomb:
This season has been the most disappointing of the series I have watched this year.
I even rate Vikings and The Blacklist far ahead of this boring show. Let's hope it improves

May I ask why you say so?

^^^ So true. I rewatched Goldeneye some weeks ago, and while it was still nice, I really had problems reconciling it in my head as the same Pierce Brosnan hit that I so loved years ago.

Csami:
Mine has to be legend of Hercules. That movie put me to wanted sleep twice.
Shaknado, the name alone turns me off

Lol @ put to sleep twice. That movie's storyline was just, I dunno, sad. And that scene where the centaurs turned into men on horseback, I still can't decide if I was impressed or disappointed.


So far, bittorrent has been my best friend - Furious 7, Spook's Apprentice (thank God I didn't waste good money on this one!), Chappie, etc... Only one movie is taking me to the cinema next week: Avengers 2.

And so I made it my business to report the two posts above me; thankfully they've been hidden. ApexTitan, I take my words back, please.

@Gbola5, for some reasons which I cannot fathom, you have stubbornly refused to follow this thread's rules. Well, Newsflash: Take your oversabi, i-too-know, aproko-without-battery discussion to the GoT/ASOIAF thread in the Literature section! The worst of it is you are so wrong on so many points.

Please, this thread is for the TV show. Keeping informed and savvy on the show's plot points is one thing; derailing the thread with STORY ARCS and CHARACTERS that are NOT in the show is another entirely.

It's a crying shame, bro. I personally hold nothing against the brits and americans and - heck, just about anyone who has a white skin - whom our own customs have decided treat like demigods. But it really pains me when I remember the INTENSE scrutiny and microscopic analysis I received at the U.S airports, specifically Houston. I blame two groups of people: (1) our own brothers and sisters out there giving the rest of us a bad name and calling it "hustling"; (2) our unexposed, poorly paid, and barely literate custom officers - walahi whenever I make the mental effort of comparing them to their counterparts abroad, laff go just dey kill me!

And here I was, looking at my experienced and over-skilled CV, and wondering if maybe I shouldn't start thinking of migrating to the U.K where these recruiters keep mailing me from...

Well, thanks for this, OP. I'll just jejely shift my antenna to somewhere else where they actually want me.

ibrokola:
I fail to see what's scary about it.

It is very apparent that you don't drive.

Like a wise man said, It is better to keep quiet and let people wonder if you are an id!ot, than to open your mouth and then prove them right.

ApexTitan:
More like the sword that smites the spoilers

^^^ then your "Night Watching" skills may need a lil upgrade. I do get what you mean though.

ApexTitan:
This thread is becoming very technical. Soon you people will start teaching us the Dorthraki language.

* goes back to sipping the milk of the puppy in my mug*

No thanks to Maester Gbola5 and Grand Measter gj22.

vhickky:
Please what's warging? is it the ability to possess another animal /person's body?

Warging wasn't really explored that much in the show, but yes you have a fair idea what it is. Remember that fight between Jon Snow and the wildlings (was it season 2 or 3? I forget), while Bran and the Reed siblings were hiding in a nearby tower? Remember how Bran eyes turned up whites and the screen switched to Bran's direwolf suddenly jumping out and attacking the wildlings in Jon's aid.. Well, that was warging.
