Garbage is just garbage.

Lady Stoneheart hype is dead. There were some leaks over the weekend that point to finale being a rushed mess. Benioff and Weiss are going to be bending over backwards to make sense of everyone in Riverlands on collision track now. Because for some strange reason (are they retarded?  are they misogynistic? are they both?) they just didn't want to bring her in.

Season 6 just like season 5 started so well. And now, as usual, it started derailing. There were all those desperate theories to explain Arya's idiotic behavior last week. People were arguing it was Jaqen pretending to be Arya because Arya would never be this stupid because it would be bad writing. Guess what?

It is bad writing.

I'm not gonna sit here and point out how terrible it is all turning out to be. Blackfish dying off screen. Brienne, that fucking idiot, saying she fulfilled her oath (um, Arya?). No set up in King's Landing for what is coming in finale. Ah, who cares.

I always suspected the writers are subjective about characters to the point of it ruining the show. They didn't give Catelyn much to do in season 3 but hey, she was at least present. And we started getting all those hints.

Last episode however, Benioff and Weiss purposefully trolled the fans of LSH storyline to the point that this trolling is so painfully obvious I doubt I can even continue watching this show. LSH is definitely not coming yet Ramin Djawadi mixed Catelyn/Brienne's theme in last episode's ending. So even he jumped on 'let's hype them to keep them watching' agenda. I cannot even listen to the music from this show anymore. They have shat on everything.

They've been hyping LSH fans this entire season but from that long shot of the river through the hanging of these outlaws to having Thoros back as well as not one not two but THREE conversations about Catelyn n this episode only to have Beric Dondarrion show up...no. And you know what else? I'm 100% sure if Catelyn was a man, she would be back.

They recalibrated BwB/LSH storyline, the one that finally brought vengeance for Red Wedding to what essentially reads as "Sandor is awesome and he should be fighting zombies". It's just insulting. And I think I am done here.This is that point. The point of hate-watching and mocking until the show is just zombies vs dragons and I lose all interest.

Next episode? Oh well Lady Bolton and Man-bun-where-did-my-balls-go fight Ramsay. That shot of enraged Davos is good. That's about it. 

Forget it. It's only tits and dragons.

  1. Haha, your love-hate relationship with this show always makes for a good read. By the sounds of it I'm not missing much having not seen it before

    1. I'd enjoy the show atm if I had no idea what happens in the books and I do so what they come up with instead just sucks so much in comparison

  3. So bad. So, so bad.

    Although wasn't there something in the synopsis for the last episode, saying that Brienne will meet a friend turned foe? I'm holding out hope until the last episode for LSH. I'm holding out a lot of hope with this show nowadays.

    1. That summary was proven to be fake, sadly :/

    2. Damn! Well, there goes my hype. Right out the window.

  4. It's probably because I have no knowledge of the books and everything was new to me entirely, but I have yet to hate a single episode.

    Character, yes...but episode, no.

    But I understand this kind of frustration and I feel for you.

    1. It's just what is in the books is so much better in regards to Brienne, Jaime, Sansa, BwB, Sandor...

  5. Ian McShane is a prince among men. He's so awesome. The show was not worthy of him. I know you were very hopeful for LSH, and I hoped it would happen...if only for your sake! Sorry to hear this.

    1. Yeah they fucked up. Actually had Sandor piss in the river from which they take her out in the books. Major insult to fans.

    2. Holy shit, I didn't even pick up on that. I did think that showing the Hound taking a piss was a bit random at the time, but now I'm super angry about it!

  6. Last few eps. really did suck. Kinda glad we have just 13 eps. after this season. They've dragged this show way too much as it is and its really starting to show now.

    1. I loved McShane episode. In fact this whole season was shaping up to be great. But it all comes to the pay off and that is/will be lame :/
