    Veep

    Hot fire. This show is hot fire.
  2. Ian McShane's interview with EW Best quote.
  3. I liked this episode but it felt short, it was like 49 minutes with credits. Why already McShane dead already why.
  4. Jaime's story on the book is a way cooler story. It doesn't make me mad like the Greyjoy stuff, just disappointed.
  5. Yeah, I never understood the "browning". Specially because of the criticism of "so hard to keep up with so many characters" some pizzazz would help people stand out. Imagine the Brave Companions in all their weirdness instead of that guy called Locke and his bunch of guys.
  6. Let's get this shit back on track with some nerd rage. Hereby follows things concerning The Greyjoys and the Kingsmoot: First things first, the Greyjoy brothers: Balon - Old angry bitter man, with reason thought, since no father should bury his children and he buried two and had to give away Theon to Ned Stark. He dies and things get even more fucked. Euron - Captain Jack Sparrow if he was made of pure evil. He's charismatic, cunning and ruthless, a master of mind games and a skilled warrior, has an eyepatch that cover his weird sinister black eye (the other one is blue) and blue lips from drinking the same drug that the bald warlocks that kidnapped Dany's dragons drink. Has a red ship with black sails named Silence crewed by a motley crew of mutes from around the world. He's fucking cool (this is very important) and one of my favourite characters. Victarion - Commander of the Iron Fleet. The perfect henchman strong and fearless but kinda dumb. A good commander and a better warrior, like I said he doesn't afraid of anything and wears full plate armor while on board of his ship (capping his chance of drowning at 99.9%). Hates Euron for various reason, one being that Euron seduced and impregnated one of his wives so Vic beats her to death with his own fists. A vile human being and also one of my favourite characters. Was axed from the show which makes me very sad. Aeron - The youngest of the Balon's brothers, a drunk reckless frat boy in his youth until he had a near-death experience when he went down in a storm and drowned. He became a hermit and devotee of the Drowned God and is now a sour, humourless zealot that commands a ton of respect in the Iron Islands. Like his brother Vic he hates Euron with a passion but also fears him for unexplained, dark, creepy reasons. Amazing character, one of my favourites. He's replaced by a random priest in the show which makes me very sad. The Kingsmoot: Aeron Greyjoy calls the Kingsmoot, the first in thousands of years btw, because he wants to avoid a potential civil war in the Isles and to keep Euron from being king, also Aeron totes wants for Vic to win. Each claimant has to make a speech and an offering to the voters, several lords make their claim but the important ones are Yara/Asha, Victarion and Euron. Vic makes a short speech all about continuing Balon's war and offers a nice trunk of gold, silver and gems, most people eat that shit up and he looks like the winner until Yara/Asha makes her offering of trunks filled with cobblestones, pinecones and turnips and says that's what they gained with the dumb war against the North that and a bunch of dead Iron Islanders and proposes that they make peace, gain some northerner land while they're ahead; it's not an happy speech but the crowd likes it and it seems like there's a 50/50 split between Yara and Victarion. Shit's tense and people may even get violent. Then a horrific sound fills the air. A big bald tattooed pirate is blowing a twisted, gigantic, shiny black horn adorned with red gold and dark steel bands, incised with glyphs. With the crowd's total attention Euron takes the stage and makes a rousing speech belittling both Victarion's petty war and Yara's lame peace, he says he will claim all of Westeros using this crazy fucking horn that can bind DRAGONS~! to his will! he also lays out huge trunks filled to the brim with booty, the mother of all booty, a Serena-sized booty!! Needless to say the crowd goes fucking nuts screaming EURON EURON like mad men and even Aeron, for a split-second, thinks that shit is awesome and Euron's the coolest before thinking "Fuck this, fuck me.". So yeah that shit last week was lame bruh. P.S. I'm sorry.
  7. Well Elizium went full incest. Never go full incest.
  8. Err kinda maybe? It's hard to say honestly, at the start of the season I would say yes but some stuff happened that might lead into some stuff from the books happening. Maybe, kinda mostly yeah.
  9. Are not Unsullied anymore Piranesi? Or you're just a wild wild man? EDIT: Yeah that Wall is coming down, Night Dude just palmed the ground and cracked the shit outta that cave.
  10. Fortunately TV shows/movies are never dubbed in Portugal (well kids stuff is), so the subtitles just read "Segura a porta" "Segura porta" "Hodor".
  11. I guess I had the whole Bran/Hodor thing right then. BTW how much better would have it been if we had Bran and 3 Eyed Raven scenes last season instead of whatever the fuck Dorne was.
  12. This times x100. I loved the episode apart from the fucking dog shit Kingsmoot, I'm legit mad at this, I might even copy paste the speeches from the books like I did with those Doran's amazing quotesâ„¢. Dog. Shit. Even after watching the episode twice now I still don't get every detail of what actually happened during the Great Hodoring. Bran wargs into Wyllis in the past, thus being able to command Hodor in the future? Is that what happened? Or was Hodor conscious during the end?
  13. Apparently show Dany is completely fire immune. Ok I guess. I really liked the King's Landing scenes on this episode, all the interactions meant something and had weight behind them. It's weird how they decided to merge a Sansa (a main character) with Rickon (perhaps a secondary character?) just to get Jeyne Poole.
  14. I know there's a bunch of fantasy series out there, I read other books. I just like these a lot.
  15. Tiny bit = claim. William The Bastard/Conqueror had no real claim on England he just had a big army and "a promise" made by Edward the Confessor and the Pope just said "sure son, better you than those fucks."
  16. The whole taking wives is more related to not having messy heritage issues/external pressures from family squables that could lead into serious issues for The Watch, not really about having sex. Most of the dudes in The Watch go whoring about in Mole's Town (a close village where we saw Gilly some seasons back) or even other places (brothers that go around Westeros recruiting dudes, like the dude that saved Arya way back when in King's Landing).
  17. Actually the vows specify that one can't father children not really engage with women. Also I never understood why people hate Olly so much, he's a kid who had his family and friends butchered in front of him and then a giant bald freak said he's gonna eat his mommy and daddy. That leaves some marks.
  18. It's sad that the show dropped a lot of the cool intricate politics and plotting from earlier seasons for simpler backstabbing and "shocking" deaths. Everything lacks gravitas and proper weight.
  19. Plus bastards were always involved in a lot crazy important events (both in real life and in the books' world).
  20. Martin respects Tolkien a lot but also likes to criticise Lord of The Rings and fantasy tropes in general. He wrote A Song of Ice and Fire with the intent of subverting fantasy tropes. Even if the show follows a more usual path of Fantasy Epic the books will definitely not.
  21. Bayern vs Atleti was such a great game even though I dislike Atleti's style of play and Simeone's whole attitude. Today's game was just pure ass though.
