I don't know, I never got past the first season before they took it off netflix.
Annnd now that we've got pics of pretty much all the new characters I'd say a bump is appropriate
*writes excellent story about authoritarianism, objective moral authority and foreign military interventions taken to their natural conclusion*
*People wilfully misinterpret it as being about "lol women r cray"*
YES! This!
"Daenerys went mad/evil and it was rushed" is the new "They were dead all along" from LOST.
In the finales of boths shows, it's made abundantly clear that neither's the case, to such an extent that I can't even see how someone could watch the finale, pay attention to what people are saying, and still think this. And yet bring up LOST and nine times out of ten you'll hear "oh you mean that show where they were dead all along?", it'll appear on every "top 10 worst endings" video because they were dead all along, and on the few videos like that where it doesn't appear the comments will be littered with "Lost should be on here, they were dead all along ffs".
And then you feel obliged to explain that that's not at all the case and how/why it isn't the case and why they should stab the person who told them this.
They were not dead all along, everything that happened on the island happened in the real world while they were still alive, as explained by Christian and by the fact that the last episode clearly takes place in 2 different universes
AND
Daenerys is perfectly lucid and the same person she's always been, guided by the same philosophy, as made clear by her speech, Tyrion's convo with Jon and Jon's exchange about objective vs subjective morality with Dany.

That's an interesting video!
Kiiiiiiiiinda concerned though when he describes the burning of the witch as a "scene most would agree felt like justice" I hope that's not true, that scene was horrifying. I've little enough faith in humanity as it is, without everyone thinking burning victims of war crimes alive for taking action against their victimisers (or burning anyone alive for any reason) is justice.
I think the military justification was shock and awe, based on "it is fear then". As she said, she'd already given Cersei a chance to surrender and she chose to fight her. There was no formal agreeement that they'd get a second chance. The part about human shields made less sense but based on the rest I think shock and awe combined with rage after losing Rhaegal and Miss Sundae (yes, that is her name now) is the best explanation.
I think her benevolence came from her rigid idea of right and wrong (which she considered to be an objective moral authority). Her obsession, apparently more important than gaining the throne, was "breaking the wheel" and making the world a "better" place. The methods she considered acceptable in pursuit of this goal changed once it proved harder than she thought it'd be. That is my interpretation and I'm sticking to it (until I change my mind)
Haha much more verbose. Glad I'm not alone :)

Sounded like its sole purpose is to relieve prisons/dungeons. God knows what they do all day though
gahd I wrote that humongous rant and no one even read it
Well apparently he doesn't experience human emotions anymore so based on that alone I'd say it'd be difficult
Any day now!
A) Maybe at some point, months or years from now, but the stakes are gone and I really don't care about Daenerys/Jon taking the throne(even if they end up destroying it because "no one should have that power", seen endings like that many times before).
B) The wars were interesting but I never wanted anyone to become king/queen and I did watch with the impression(given to me BY the show) that their squabbling was a distraction,the real threat was the WWs and when they broke through the wall they'd all face the consequences.
C) they went kablooey
yup, they should've taken over Westeros and made the iron throne and politics irrelevant, instead they just did some vandalism in the north for a couple of days.
New guy just looks like a dude wearing a bright blue monster mask with a blank stare. Brake was perfect, why'd they mess this up
Alright I'm downloading HBO on my ps4 so I can watch on TV but it's ridiculous that I have to. Wh release episodes so dark you can't watch on your laptop? and with trailers that are also too dark to watch on your laptop? I assume most people watch youtube videos on their PCs and not their TVs
with laptop at hbo nordic.
But it's even a problem with the trailer on youtube:

Can you see the army and the dragons in the trailer? What about in the image?
Nah I expect(ed) the Night King and the aotd to "break the wheel" and for the game to be made irrelevant, showing them all what a bunch of morons they've been killing each other over things that would be eradicated anyway
The Night King isn't in the books (yet). Just the odd Walker/Other
I think she looked like she was wearing an immersion breaking amount of makeup in that opening shot D:
