HBO's "Game of Thrones"

Honestly the way Walder Frey and his house went down was one of the low points for me. One of the Starks definitely deserved to be the one to take them down but, for me at least, they made it too easy. Giving Arya the ability to not only look like someone, but also take their voice and change her body structure to match their height, weight, etc is too powerful for someone that spent such little time with the Faceless Men.

Most of the characters have some kind of weakness or flaw but she's just the best in hand to hand combat even against the best in Westeros, shes now smarter than everyone, she's telling everyone what they should do even though she hasn't been around to witness what they went through, and on top of all that she can take the body of whoever she wants and be the best assasin in the world.

Too much.

Re-watched Ep 3, and I think I enjoyed it even more this time around. I was less stressed, paid more attention to the soundtrack, etc.

That score by Ramin is a work of art. I'm listening to it right now. Can't get the piano bit out of my head since I watched it.

It is woefully bad compared to the first 3-4 seasons, but I think it is still good TV. My main complaint is the pacing, everything feels so rushed. Things aren't happening organically. The writers are breaking the number one fiction rule: they are telling things instead of showing through actions, dialogue, etc. But not always, I mean the scene between Daenerys and Jon when he confessed the big secret was amazing. Clarke nailed all the emotions that would be running through Daenerys's mind with that revelation.
There have been other great scenes, but it still feels forced. That may be a product of a short season, I mean they had a ton of plot lines to wrap up before we get to the actual game of thrones.
Another issue I had is with the battle scene. It was epic, the soundtrack was AMAZING, the cinematography was great, and it was fun to watch. But I was a little aggravated with characters being put in deathly, insurmountable odds type situations, over, and over, and over, and over.
Part of it may be the "set the standard" thing. It happened with the Sopranos for a lot of people. The series was so amazing that the final episodes were judged more harshly because they were compared to the larger body of work, and of course they fell short, because those last episodes were being compared to arguably the greatest five seasons of TV before it.
Again, I will repeat this often in every post, Ramin is amazing.
