It was only a decade ago that Nathalie was still on Hollyoaks, playing what had become a truly sad character who was mostly there to be a slampiece for an older, white mob boss. I never thought she was that much of an actress, but she had real screen presence. I think she has grown as an actress, while maintaining her charisma and poise over the years. I hope she has a lot of good things ahead in her career.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! The gifs have been everything this past week.

 

That said...I knew there would be something shocking at the end of this episode...still...NOT THAT. And the backlash from it has been wow. Especially given some of the talks around here about Y&R and the Winters.

 

I had told my co-worker there was no way that the dragons were making it out of this season alive...and there goes another one.

Still so abrupt. Thankfully not as shocking or traumatic as well Viserion fell for me. 

 

Ugh at Arya and Gendry. But then again...she still has her list to finish. Then...maybe.

 

And I see Varys and Tyrion are coming back into play.

 

While I don't think Dany is going all Mad Queen...I feel it's justified if she burns it all down given all she has lost over the last few...days? Snapping is understandable.

I think this was one of the best episodes of the series. Wow. I will have to rewatch.

 

First of all, Emilia Clarke's performance was PHENOMENAL. I am so annoyed at the posts I'm seeing claiming this was OOC and that the writing destroyed Dany etc. Ridiculous. This has been foreshadowed. 

 

I guess Varys' outmaneuvering couldn't save him this time. Loved how the dragon stepped out of the darkness.

 

The Hound's death and Cersei's death were incredibly poetic. 

 

In terms of special effects/production: Superb. 

 

And now one more war...

So The Hound is dead now, along with all the caca about how he is Arya's ideal father and so special and wonderful?

About 5 years too late, but oh well. 


Best of luck to the actor, anyway...

Now that Theon is gone and got a decent sendoff, all I really want to know now is whether Davos will have a decent finish (I have no idea if his wife and sons are still alive or not). The Dragonstone group, long gone Catelyn, seasons 1-4 Sansa (who apparently did not have meaning as she had not been raped) and Theon were always the heart of the show for me. I would like to see at least one of them end on good terms.

I knew she'd do it. People who are complaining about Daenerys this season were never paying attention.

 

Maisie Williams has done her best work these last two seasons, especially this season.

Not happy with Twins as Lovers Shakespearean ending because they didn't deserve it, but the rest was incredible.

 

Dany did what bestie told her to do.  Light them mofos up!  


Twitter is unhappy but it made sense so I'm good

Yes!  Beheaded Messandei simply because she could.  Murdered anyone she felt was an enemy but she gets a sweet ending?  Wrong on so many levels.  

 

After all that Cersei has done, I didn't need the poetry of her leaving the earth with the person she was born with

    • I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.
    • Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.    
    • You've been seeing him all along. You just didn't know it was him, I guess.

    • Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.
    • Melissa Ordway announced she was moved to recurring back in November but is still credited with the contract cast members.
    • I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.  
    • So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows. 
    • The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.
    • So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.
