Is Ducksauce a dragon-napping power-grabber in league with Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar winner Jim Rash? Or is he just angling for a seat at the warlock’s multiplication table? And were the burnt ends on display in the final moments meant to be the house special at the Stark family BBQ? Usually when we see people who’ve been smoked, there’s also fire. It didn’t help that the episode’s two set pieces that were meant to shock merely confused. I admire the world-building, but it would be nice to start seeing the map begin to fold over onto itself.

Winter could come and go again before Jon Snow’s misadventures beyond the wall have any bearing on his southern siblings, and, at this rate, Daenerys’s fire-breathing babies will be older than Pycelle before she ever sets sail for the mainland. “Those in the margins often come to control the center,” purrs the once-and-future Qing of Qarth, but in a sprawling place like Westeros the margins can often feel very far away indeed.

Jaime’s benighted squire was dispatched almost as quickly as Jaime himself was recaptured, but too many of the show’s other meanderings are beginning to feel years away from resolution.

But it was all obvious prologue to a very unsurprising - if brutal - payoff. Meaty monologues like the one about the “painter who used only red” add much-needed shading to the otherwise monochrome grimness of Westeros, and give gifted actors like Nikolaj Coster-Waldau a chance to flex their muscles, even if they are chained to a post and sitting in their own filth. In many ways, the episode functioned as an extended version of Jaime’s little family reunion in the polar bear cage. But the pacing felt stiff and uncomfortable, like it had just woken up from a long night next to Ygritte. It featured as many wonderful character moments as there are murderous Dean doppelgangers in Qarth. Still, even with this focus on the family, “A Man Without Honor” was a strange and digressive episode of Game of Thrones. As last night demonstrated, the whole, scattered lot of them - young, old, male, female, bastard, and serious bastard - have been forced into a grown-up game before they’ve had nearly enough time to study the rulebook. So, too, was the final link between the Stark kids and their relatively peaceful childhoods. Ned’s neck wasn’t the only thing severed that sunny day by the Baelor statue. Like falling headfirst into an icy ginger’s frozen honeypot, say, or choosing exactly the wrong moment to procure poppy milk with a comely field surgeon, or, I don’t know, eating mutton. The more time they spend unattended at critical ages, the more likely they are to make mistakes. Emmett Brown who once sagely exclaimed: “It’s your kids … something has to be done about your kids!” Of course, he was speaking to a teenager in a life preserver at the time, not the soon-to-be-headless head of the Stark family, and the good doctor’s preferred conveyance was a sports car with a fusion reactor soldered to the back of it, not a 7-foot simpleton who runs on walnuts. I just wished the rest of the season had that level of quality.I believe it was noted nuclear physicist Dr. However the finale of Season 6 was really damn good, I fucking loved the last two episodes. Season 6 had a similar issue with the first episode being "ehhhh", the next three episodes being good and then the middle of the season was shockingly bad. The Sparrows became homophobic religious fundamentalists rather than a group of peasants seeking comfort in religion after having their lives ruined by the high lords and their Game of Thrones.Įverytime I say this someone fires back with "But Hardhome was good" which is true, but the rest of the season was horribly inconsistent. Jon's death by the Night's Watch was way less morally complex and streamlined. The killing of Barristan Selmy in an incredibly lame way. There was also the butchering of an already poor book storyline (Dorne) into something atrocious. Same with Ramsay really starting to descend into Marty Stu territory. It pissed a lot of fans off because of how out of character it was. I know a lot of book readers were happy that Stannis was finally getting his characterization from the books and then were furious when he did that stupid sacrifice scene. Some baffling choices were made with some storylines. It was definitely the lowest quality season.
