Meh, I am frankly tired of Jorah's continued existence.

I feel the same way about Daario.

looks like PS1 GRAPHIXXXX UGH
/sarcasm
Nothing will ever look natural when you're dealing with stuff like people climbing on imaginary CG creatures.
What you hope for a television production like this is that it doesn't resemble this
Yeah, the dragon riding is never going to look good. That was about as good as you were ever going to get. The only other alternative was to try to shoot it in a way where people would see a lot less, which probably would have felt anticlimactic for the scene.
Daario is Tyrion's new Bronn.

With as much a pain in the ass this show must be to budget, especially as it goes on, it was fine. I would really hate to be a producer on this show.

I´m just making fun guys. Don´t take me too serious.
Except without any of that swagger.

He was marking his territory.
Is that what the puddle at the base of Dany's chair was? I thought it was something else.

I'll say it again. Anyone who complains about the graphics, point me towards any other show of this scope that does it better.
I can't think of one. Movies, sure, but we're far from those budgets.

This. Now we know why so many big CGI action scenes are set at night, in the rain... To avoid nitpicking like this.
I guess she doesn't need a saddle with those spikes.

"Oh hey guys please stop shooting at me and my dragon so I can go find a saddle, it's really uncomfortable"
The criticism knows no limits.
so absolutely everyone here predicts that Olly is going to "kill" Jon, right?

Just finished the episode...
The Unsullied in this season make Stormtroopers look competent. Also, Ramsay full title right now is Ramsay Bolton, Heir to the Warden of the North, Eunuch Maker, Unleasher of Dogs, Raper of Wolves, Master of Guerrilla Warfare.
That episode did nothing for me.

This last episode...what the hell? Unsullied are now worth as much as clowns in halloween masks who patiently wait for Dany's emotional reunion with Drogon before firing their spears. And Stannis somehow thinks roasting his heir is a good idea because Westeros is so fond of kinslayers? Hopefully they save the show by pulling the 'it was all just a dream' card.

Might be a red herring, it's too obvious even for show watchers. But maybe that's just D&D.

I say 97% chance yes, with like a weird 3% chance he saves Jon.

Dude got an Emmy, he'll be fine.
edit: yeah and they cut out the book where he does FUCK ALL, they couldn't WAIT to give him something interesting to do.
Admiral Woofington

well this is the part of the novels that Tyrion basically just went around having slave/mercenary adventures while dealing with little people jokes wasn't it? At least they cut that out
Tyrion is probably the biggest improvement over the books in season 5, he'll be fine.
To be fair, even the show watchers don't actually expect him to kill Jon.

You know I'm actually worried about next seasons, the supernatural elements are going to be more prevalent and so are the budget demands, for instance Dany has to be now next to her dragon(s) constantly, the wight army is going to need more screentime as does the night's king, the white walkers, etc not to mention Bran and the Children if they ever decide to pick that up, I wonder if they are going to be able to do it justice.

Just finished the episode. Not good, fellas.
That was easily the worst "episode 9" of the series. Not terrible but overall it was too inconsistent for me to enjoy. Starting out with the ridiculous first scene: twenty men somehow infiltrating a 6000 man camp and burning every valuable item, including siege weapons? This is a perfect example of plot contrivances being used to force an end result. How do you get Stannis to a point where he's desperate enough to burn his daughter, an act he has outright refused to do while also affirming her position as his heir? Well, you get 20 men to burn all his resources, obviously. Sort of like how they turned elite Unsullied warriors into Storm Troopers earlier this season, or how the "best Ironborn soldiers" wound up running away from dogs last season.
I won't dwell on this anymore (well...for now) but let's just say I did not like the burning scene. At all.
Then the Dany stuff. Nope. That felt very Clone Wars-esque to me. A huge spectacle with very little tension. Worse yet, the harpies basically turned the thing into a turn based RPG instead of just slaughtering Dany. Why wait for her to cast "Dragon," fucking kill her. Speaking of which, why were the harpies killing former slave owners? Anyway...
I'll forgive the CGI issue of Dany riding on the dragon. It's hard to pull that off. However I can't forgive the generally cheesy way in which the scene was set up, or dues ex dragona way in which he arrived. Just an odd decision, dramatics wise. Not a fan.
