She is my favourite character, but that was an amazing Hell Yeah! moment. I also admit to becoming giddy (I literally clapped in glee) when Tyrion met Dany.

I will be devastated if Melisande somehow convies Stannis to kill his daughter. I'm guessing his fish wife will end up sacrificing herself to do the deed.

Does anyone else laugh when someone says Winter is Coming? Pull the other one, show.

YAY to Cersei finally about to get her comeuppance. What a vile wretched woman.

How does the king have absolutely no authority here? If he wants Marg back, why isn't that granted to him? Why is she even a prisoner. If I recall, she was asked if her brother was messing with Renly and she said no. The squire that claimed to have screwed him only proves that Loras was gay and doesn't discredit her testimony

HAHA, I can't. I was thinking the same thing Edited by Cheap21

So was Bright Eyes calling you a piece of sh!t, too?

I've told you, as well as others, what the truth is. I have no reason to lie to you because, if that's what I thought of you, best believe I'd tell you straight to your face. But I am done. I can't deal with your persecution complex.

+1

But they're never going to let this go.

Antonye is not my mother or father so he has no right to tell me to "go sit down somewhere" like I'm a child. But its just a pattern of disrespect that he and others have shown towards me because I am simply voicing my opinion on the show. Its not a persecution complex. Its just a fact.

I believe BrightEyes is fairly new to this particular thread and I've never really interacted with her or him until now so I have no idea how they feel about me nor any prior conversations to say whether they hate me or not.

But its clear to me that people like you Antonye and others have nothing except disrespect and rudeness to show me and that's fine. I won't be intimidated by people like you. I won't even call you bullies because its such a overused word but it definitely isn't the behavior of nice people.

What a beautiful thing to have serious, never-smiles Jon smile at Sam when he went to say goodbye. It was great that Sam stood up to those idiots, although I suppose he's never going to be allowed to properly learn how to fight.

Sad to see Aemon go. What a lovely presence he's been on the show for so many years.

Darling Sansa... she turned to Theon too fast. One can understand it, considering her desperation, but he wasn't anywhere near read to be 'turned.' I wonder if that corkscrew or whatever it was that she picked up while come into play later. Glad to see a much-less passive Sansa who doesn't seem willing to give up anytime soon.

Please please please Stannis do not hurt your daughter. There is no way he will give in to that... or is there?

Still "meh" at all the Dorne stuff. Myrcella/Jaime... who cares? Bronn teased by one of the Sand Snakes... who cares? All those gratuitous shots of her naked body--like, we get it.

I love Cersei but, my God, what fun it was to see her ridiculous ill-thought out plan to release a bunch of religious fanatics and give them power come back and bite her in the behind. Her last line about her face being the last thing ReligiousFanatic! Brienne would see was fun, too.

I was so thrilled when Dany and Tyrion met. Talk about two different worlds on this show colliding.

I agree with all of this. I loved Aemon. At least he got to see a world with dragons and where Dany was rising to power on some level.

I knew there was a reason this show was trying to make us fall for Shireen. I don't like her chances.

The Sandsnakes are a huge fail. They may as well have cut all this Dorne stuff because it's terrible.

I hope Dany sees that Tyrion could be useful to her.

I gave in and clicked on the thread after the last episode, and saw some of the comments, which are basically my fault (I know they're done now and I'm only commenting after people stopped caring). I wanted to apologize for my comments - sometimes I've taken YRBB's posts and tone a certain way, perhaps the way that wasn't intended. It's easy to do online - maybe too easy for me in some cases. If I wasn't already fed up with the story I may have been more able to be reasonable. Maybe not. I don't know. Either way, I was in the wrong. Sometimes I comment instead of keeping my thoughts to myself. I don't dislike YRBB, and I do enjoy reading what they say on a lot of topics. My disappointment in this show colored my attitude, and I let them bleed into each other.

I'm also sorry if anything I said caused any animosity toward ThePrinceofSunspear.

I still don't have much to say about the show, and that's probably for the best. I just wanted to say sorry for what I set in motion.

Thank you for that. I can certainly understand how feeling passionate about a show can spill over into other things and my directness doesn't always translate well online. Nothing has ever been meant with malice, even when we disagree. In any case, I'm sorry, too. Let's start over.

I really do hope they prove us wrong regarding Shireen. If not, I will still be happy though because we got that wonderfully touching scene with Shireen and Stannis. I think that might even make it worth it in my eyes.

I try not to bring the books into it too often but, even as I was reading it, I just couldn't see a way that the Sand Snakes would translate well on screen. Even in the book, it's sort of ridiculous. I hope they wrap this up quickly, although I suppose a storyline is a storyline and I don't know what else they could have Jaime doing.

    • Kristen also raped John post-Paris with a Magic Mirror.  Her pregnancy was "delicate" and they couldn't be intimate.  She had already lost the baby, needed to get pregnant immediately again and set a Stefano tricked out Magic Mirror to hypnotize John and John thought he was  having sex with Marlena.  John woke up the next day and thought it was a dream.
    • The show is only a few months in and still finding it's footing. I'm hoping MVJ has years of story in place for these characters and will pretty much stick to that plan (obviously with tweaking along the way) I do have some issues with the initial structure. Making the Duprees the centerpiece and not having a male with that name. Making Martin Vernon and Anita's would have solved that and made the age of the character more appropriate. I agree about not having a young couple in the beginnings of a romance. And having too many married couples. Jacob and Naomi could be just living together. That makes the possibility of other relationships more viable than within a marriage. Same with Smitty/Martin. Having them married with kids limits the story especially in terms of them as a gay couple.  The white characters existing in another universe is also a problem. That ties in with the workplace/job issues. I don't think they needed the hospital-instead the police station/real estate office or Martin's workplace could have utilized and have Derek/Ashley/Vanessa/Smitty/Shanice etc working and interacting there. ATM too many characters are meeting up in cafes etc-we're not seeing them at work. We needed to see more of how various characters interact eg Jacob/Bill, Ted/Bill. There were a lot of extended family scenes but there should be more one on one to get a sense of character and family dynamics. Leslie is a great character but her bag of tricks is getting over exposed. I would hate that she is kept on and other character's made to look like idiots by accepting her presence. They'll need some good writing and twists to keep her around. We can only hope some of the lesser actors improve as I don't want too many recasts or writeouts. So it's early days and I look forward to seeing the show evolve. And give the Duprees some staff!
    • Thanks. I barely remember any of the backstory there, just his ties to her parents. It was all so convoluted, everything with Tangie.
    • 81 and 82 were rather bad, with the infamous invasion of the Kirkland family. But sometime in late 82 or early 83, Claire Labine was rehired as head-writer and immediately put the focus back on the Ryan's. This time Labine's tenure was short, but she did great work. The entire show was compelling again -- especially the Charlotte Greer storyline (one of the best plots of the entire series).  But Labine was fired, yet again, and Ryan's Bar was bombed, resulting in most of the action being transferred to Greenberg's Deli, and a focus on younger characters with little connection to the Ryan family. So that is what you are probably seeing from 84.   
    • It wasn't that altruistic. He made Tangie a substitute for Blake and was apparently so creepy about it that Tangie spent the years in between getting away from him and running into him in Springfield believing that he had purchased her to be his child bride. It was only when she got to know Blake that she realized that she realized his feelings for her were paternal and suddenly she and Roger became friends.
    • When I watched 1999 Daytime Emmys in real time, I was like "Daytime Emmys will never top this" and that's exactly what happened (at least IMO).
    • Yes in Sami's case lots of people took issue with her being with Dumbell Austin outside of the Carrie issue, cause she drugged him and raped him by pretending to be Carrie. Austin didn't consent & well Ejami fans have used that as a smokescreen against the backlash of Sami & EJ being paired. It's also not so much as being paired with someone period, but paired with his victim & his victim sister. That's a line that should never be crossed by Belle/EJ esp Belle cause Sami isn't the only person in her family that EJ has terrorized. For all points and purposes since she was aged to a teen, Belle has been a daddy's girl so on top of the betrayal when it comes to Sami it's also with John. He ran him down & murdered him after raping her sister. On top of all the other evil [!@#$%^&*] he has done. "Good dick", ONS with a monster one time is one thing we all have lapses of judgements, it's whole different thing to be a whole bird who throws her self respect out the window for a roll in the hay relationship with a monster & act like you have selective amnesia about his many crimes towards your family. While getting on your self righteous hoiler than thou horse about others. No there wouldn't be as much as outrage if he was paired with someone like his equally rapey Black family terrorizing sister, or Ava, Gabi or even Nicole. So it's not as much as about him being paired with someone period, it's more of who he should never be paired with his rape victim, her sister's or anyone in the family of the man he viciously ran down. I don't expect much of anything from EJ but I expect a lot more from Belle. As far as Kristen goes Brady has been called everything but the word of God rightfully so for being with his rapist, his brothers rapist, the psycho who terrorized his parents for decades, family, the woman he claimed to love after she violated her by using a mask of her face

      to pretend to be her so he would sleep with her. Drugging his sister ie,: Sami. If Kristen was paired with someone that wasn't her victim or victims like Alex, Xander, [!@#$%^&*] even Ben no one would really care for the most part. So I hope this gives you a little insight and I hope you know I wasn't trying to be rude.
    • Speaking of Emily, I really wish that Marie Masters could do a Locher Room. I haven’t seen anything about her in years!
    • 1980/81 Dallas was a killer show. 18/23 episodes finished #1 and the remaining five finished 2nd.
