Game Of Thrones: The Sopranos with swords or Dynasty in chainmail?

I am hoping that Khaleesi takes her horde of Dothraki through Qarth where the women dress with one tit out, on her way back to Slavers Bay

they're not being held back with pace.
Sansa and them would still be on the Oregon trail for 5 more episodes if this was a couple seasons ago.
Jon snow would still be dead.

Damn right. If this was following the book John snow would have been dead for at least 2 seasons. Theon would have gotten home in the last episode of the season. The Kelsei thing would not have happen until the episode before the finale. I ain't going to spoil it but there is another main character thats supposed to come back from the dead and that still ain't happen. The pacing now is more suited for TV.

There are 6 episodes left.
 
Most (male) hollywood actors are under 6 foot tall.
Like between 5'5" - 5'10"... with slightly oversized noggins.

Back in the day, when 'movie cameras' were first invented....
Movie Directors wanted actors with certain physical characteristics.

- A 'big head' fills the screen a little more.

- And the male actors couldn't be much taller than the females... or else the Directors couldn't fit BOTH of them inside the camera frame properly, at the same time.

A drastic height difference looked weird onscreen.

Plus the women would always be struggling to crane their necks up to look at tall men in their eyes during 'dramatic moments'. (Or the men would be looming over them & looking down like a vulture.)

It sounds funny.... but when you have to re-shoot the same scene / dialogue like maybe 30+, 40+, or even 50+ times in a row.... for HOURS on a set... actors got neck cramps, or back problems & whatnot.

So many early Directors wanted the 'leading men' & 'leading women' to be roughly the same height.

Just saying.



Interesting. I've also heard that filmmakers tend to want the lead actor to be be smaller than the villain, so it looks like he's overcoming a greater challenge or something.
 
recap: Book of the Stranger S06 E04 -

Aptly named the Book of Strangers as a lot of characters reunite after much time apart and find that they are strangers to each other.

Jon Snow drop mic moment from last week, apparently was just a trip to the outhouse. He remembered the night was dark and full of terrors and took his ass back to hall.

Stark kid reunion finally. Brienne makes quite the impression on Tormund. He didn't know they built em like that south of the wall. Meanwhile, Sansa and Jon compare mental scars.

Brienne reminds Davos and Melisandre how VERY wrong they were to back Stannis. This shit will have some ramifications down the line.

They really are picking up the pace with the show now. Got the main characters using quick travel around the world map like an RPG game. EXCEPT Littlefinger who for some reason took half a season to get back to the Erie. (Book Spoiler: The Sansa/Ramsey/Winterfell storyline never happened in the books so I guess they had to set Littlefinger aside for a while)

Lil Robert Aryn might be growing up, but he's still a Joffrey in Training. Littlefinger better tread carefully.

Note to Messandei and Grey Worm: Trying to teach white people about the evil of slavery is a failure in both the real world and Westeros. Tyrion Lannister tries his hand at Abe Lincoln style diplomacy. Making more enemies than friends seems to me.

Darrio stay reminding Jorah the Andal, he's in the eternal friend zone with Dany, And the grayscale is not increasing his chances.

The Dothraki capital is apparently like New Orleans on Mardi Gras. Lots of drinking, fucking and assaults in alleys.

Queen Margaery get some one on one time with the high septon so that he has an excuse to give his origin story. The Tyrell (Loras and Margaery) kids get their reunion as well, but I'm betting they got some more trouble ahead of them.

Cersei back doing her again. Temporary alliance forms between the Lannisters and Tyrells. Probably won't end well, but it will be entertaining I bet.

Our 3rd reunion of the night is with the Greyjoy Siblings. Yara gets some things off her chest and Theon sets up to play kingmaker.

Poor Asha. Underestimate Ramsay and you die. Period full stop

Ramsay sends that hot ether to rain on the Stark reunion at the Wall. It's intended to provoke a reaction and it works like a champ. Sansa talking a lot of tough talk after being a pawn for 5 seasons. Please refer to my point above about Ramsay.

8 Khal's, 16 blood riders and a Queen of Dragons walk into a grass hut with fire pits all around. Guess how that turned out for everyone. Underestimate the Khaleesi and you will most likely die.


---

Overall really solid episode. Next week looks like some major shit is about to go down.
 
Did anyone peep how Ramsay's face lit up when Osha asked if he eats the flayed men? That psychotic motherfucker was probably thinking, "damn that's good idea. How didn't I think of that?"
The guy makes me wonder if he's a bad person in real life. I saw the eureka moment in his eyes too. That wasn't acting. That the authenticity of a guy who signs petitions to have dormer released while between takes.
 
Khaleesi got her army to do her thing and now just needs to control those dragons to really rule.​

Khaleesi is tooling the fuck up.

Got the Dothroki, Unsullied...Dragons unleashed...Tyrion and Varys to keep the diplomatic stability...Ohhhhh she's ready!!

The interbreeded boy king on borrowed time whether internally or externally.

Ramsay is so crazy and convincing that it is almost comical now. The "just feed her to the dogs line" about his old bone hip sidechick in S6EP1 and how dude went back to eating the apple (after he wiped the blood off of his knife) while raising his eyebrows and watching the wildling lady die...was like.

:eek2: &:lol:
 
I love that the show can finally jump straight to the main point of these storylines now that they don't have to be tied to keeping up with the books instead of dealing with filler.

We would have had to watch a whole season of Sansa, Poddrick, and Brienne slowly traveling through the North and they only would have reached Jon at the Wall during the finale.

Khaleesi's entire storyline for the season would have been her living day-to-day life at the temple and the last scene of the season would have been her seizing control.

They say dude was a finalist to be John Snow.
When he didn't get it, they like his audition enough to offer him ramsey.

But yeah, the way he lit up when she asks if they eat them was some serious acting.

There is a movie on Netflix where he plays the hero. It is the oddest thing in the world.
 
I don't think Ramsey knew about Thenns. :smh: or what they do.

I think Ramsey's face lit up because he was astonished that there were folks walking around that were WORSE than he is. :eek:

He's like a Larry Bird.. Who been Killing the game for years with 3-pointers.... Then he suddenly sees/hears about Michael Jordan. A Thenn who is known for taking off from the free-throw line with his savagery. :rolleyes:

He out there not just beating nuccas.. But eating them after the game. :rolleyes:

Ramsey was slightly impressed by the 'originality'. :D

Cercei won't get anywhere near that far

Every chest move she attempts turns to shit. Her political game is weak. She's merely a mother of a king that's on borrowed time.

Agreed especially with the prophecy of Maggie coming true.


Khaleesi got her army to do her thing and now just needs to control those dragons to really rule.​

Mannn you got at least 3 epic battles bout to go down!!!

1 Khaleesi bout to get her whole crew and roll over the masters and they bitch made sons of the harpy

2 the Tyrrells getting in the sparrows ass and his faith-wanna-be militants.

3 Jon and the wildlings giving Ramsey that work that he Sooo deserves.
 
It should get even better now for the final 6 episodes....the first 4 ep. are usually slow. Last year they dropped the first 4 eps. on the day of the premiere.

Cercei is the equivalent of me planning shit against my parents when I was a kid. I thought I was so smart, little did I know my shit just didn't catch up to me yet and I wasn't as smart as I thought I was

I can't fucking stand Cerei. More this season than ever before. It's like Tywin told her like 3 seasons ago, she's not as smart as she thinks she is. If people like Littlefinger, Tywin, and Varis are playing Chess than Cerei is barely playing Chutes and Ladders. She hasn't even reached Checkers yet. No way her little plan to get rid of the faith militant doesn't blow up in her face.

She ran to them. She's the one that opened that box. If the lady says all your children will be murderded, why are you gambling with the last one? Did the witch whisper that she would be the true leader when all her children died?

Don't forget Tyrion too. He's not on Varis' level yet but his chess moves are not to be taken lightly either
 
Side note.... Oh I wish we would get this type of discussion for "The 100"...

I repeat... Kats are missing out on that show.

But Varis isn't on Littlefinger's level.

But Varis isn't on Littlefinger's level.


Littlefinger and Vary's are playing two different games.

Littlefinger is sewing chaos so that he can ascend to heights that would otherwise be impossible. Ultimately he wants power for himself. Traditionally, the only way a person like Littlefinger comes up is through the largess of others higher on the ladder above him. He saying fuck that. I'm not waiting for someone to lift me up, I'm destroying the ladder all together. The only problem is he has no real power except through the manipulation of others.

Vary's wants the opposite of chaos. He wants a strong ruler whose authority and power is unquestionable, but he also wants someone with compassion for the little people. There's a whole subplot in the book that has not been brought up in the show thus far which is Vary's long play towards his goals.

However, I think the show runners are going to skip it in favor of Vary's trying to mold Dany and Tyrion into the kinds of leaders he wants to run the world

So their ultimate end games are incompatible with each other.

Mark my words Cercei is being set up and she don't even see it. Bernie Sanders told Tomlin his plans to make Margery take the walk of shame because he would knew break and tell Cercei. I think they all gonna end up in jail and the faith militants will take over the city.

They were not "dropped" they were leaked. The critics received advanced copies of the 1st 4 eps to review. This season they did not do that but EP1 was leaked early also.

Some think that last season's leak was prolly done in retaliation for that Mormons Doc that HBO aired.

I didn't think his interest was at all in the fact that dudes out there eating folks...it was in the bitch in front of him who was used to shit like that. He brought up the flayed man banner to scare her and she said if you ain't eating em, I've seen worse. That's when his face lit up. What I read on his face was "you would probly be my kinda chick if I didn't have to kill you right now."
 
I wanted to bow down to Khalesi

You're going to die :lol:

Dude was like, damn, I didn't even think of that, I need to try that :lol:
 
Don't forget Tyrion too. He's not on Varis' level yet but his chess moves are not to be taken lightly either
Tyrion is Tywin's true son - they think and strategize exactly a like
the only differences are: at this point Tyrion lacks Tywin's experience, but he learns fast
and
Tywin's priorities were shaped by his father's weaknesses, Tyrion's priorities were shaped by his father and sister's cruelties and he has always seen the true face of people because their first reaction to him is disgust disrespect or abuse UNTIL they find who he is.
But in the show and in the books their strategies and relationship with power is identical - notice that Tywin didn't even try to undo any of the long power plays Tyrion put in motion in Kings Landing
TRUST - Tyrion wouldn't offer the carrot first without him holding a big stick behind his back
