I litterally said the exact same thing about reading the books in my review. Everyone was all like "How dare you suggest reading! Book snob!"
I love your reviews!
Reading?!?! How dare you! Lol! :)
I love your videos!!
these live recaps have terrible audio due to the stream.
i miss the good old recap videos, come on, this season is living up to be better than what we expected, give it the good recap videos it deserves like the past seasons!
That could be true, but these are like the original source so I'd hardly call them scraps. It's not like we can go get a rib-eye somewhere else. Also, I suspect this is just more of CBG having a fetish for potato cams.
+Aj Koorstra she's been uploading nearly weekly content on youtube about unrelated media, she just no longer wants to give GOT the light of day it deserves.
=(
bit harsh
+1
agreed!
Euron looks like a discount Ewan McGregor.
Mixed with Michael Shannon.
Even though he's Danish and I, as a Dane should root for him, I just can't get over the accent. Like when someone pointed out to me that Vandal Savage was Danish, I could only focus on the Danish accent. It's really jarring. There must be some good Irish actors more Euron-like.
+Kasino80 viking pirates
You totally stole that description from Funny or Die's "Gay of Thrones".
Lovi Poekimo Actually, I didn't. I looked up the video in question and it is dated May 25. I posted this May 24. They called him 'Drunk Uncle Wolverine".
Was arya playing herself in the play? watching the death of ned from the crowd again?
I like what you did here!
nice
I hope she got paid
oh shit! I forgot she watched it in real life!!!
Finally someone giving George the respect he deserves, the tv writers have nothing on him. GRRM is an incredible writer
the tv writers have less than a year to develop the story further, while GRRM has as much time as he wants.
+bloodondope George has done most of the work for them though
and he sold out for big cash before he was even done with the books. At this rate the books will never be finished
+Scott S (Falcon554) And Martin's writing has been deteriorating. I thought the first three books were excellent, the fourth was decent, and the fifth was pretty bad. I expect the sixth will come out sometime, I imagine, but I doubt the seventh ever will.
"GRRM is an incredible writer"
So, you don't read widely, then?
I really don't understand why you continue to watch this show. You're constantly talking about how bummed you are that you're seeing things on the show first and it's now spoiling your book reading experience in the future. WHO'S FAULT IS THAT? Stop watching the show then. It's not like you even seem to enjoy it. 90% of your reviews are nothing but complaints, book comparisons and nit-picks, as it is. And aren't you same person who put that rant video out, a while back, where you said GRRM should take all the time he needs to finish the books, and people should shut the fuck up about it? Well.......congratulations, you got what you wanted. George is certainly taking all the time he can, isn't he? And now by the time the 6th book comes out, the show will probably have already have shown you the ending
Amen!!!!!
Scott S You know what really bothers me, about people like her? I'm a book reader too. I just don't feel the need to shove it in peoples faces or let it ruin my experience with the show. And I love George's books. But I am NOT okay with how long he's taking. Know why? His worst book in the series, A Feast for Crows, took seven years. And IT WASN'T EVEN ALL THE CHARACTERS. It was half of them. The other half took another 5 years. His best book, A Storm of Swords? Just over one year. His best work was his fastest. His worst book was his slowest. So this whole "he should take his time to make the book as great as he can" notion, is such a false premise. He's probably taking so long, because he doesn't know what to write, for most of the sub-plots. Which could very well result in some lackluster results. I'd be more confident in the next books quality if he was able to have gotten through it faster. As it would mean, he knew what he wanted to write
+Trav _ you have to separate them. no tv show could ever tell this story the way it can be told in the books. I think they have done a great job. have they messed up? yep but what tv show does not.
You know it wasn't his choice to split it right? The publisher forced him to do it... And that's nice that you are "NOT okay with how long he's taking". He is an artist, it takes as long as he takes to write it... Deal with it... You can't rush creative works and the advantage of it being delayed so much is that, as GRRM has already stated himself, the book will have a lot of differences for things he thought didn't work well in the show.
TheTruePhoenixAU I get what you're saying, but my fear is he's taking a long time because he may be having a hard time continuing all the story threads he started. It makes me worry that we may be in for something not so great, when it finally comes out. Hopefully I'm wrong
I love her reviews but I really can't stand this new format. Faithful CBG19 sub since her Prometheus videos 4 years ago but I cannot watch these. Can someone do a TL;DR?
Hey Carmine, I know you understand how long and difficult editing is. CBG puts out some quality stuff but its hard to come out with all the comic book content and this stuff all the time, plus im sure at least one of them has a side job. So its seems only possible without editing.
LightSwarm I know. I appreciate her and buy all her X-Men videos. I support the channel but at the same time....i miss her couch reviews :/ it felt comfortable and relaxed.
tldr- She says she loved the episode, but she had all the criticisms I did; it seems the emotional impact of the ending made the whole thing worthwhile for her. She loves Kinvara and wants to hump Tormund.
Xenothon Stelnicki Thanks!
Omg Carmine, Your reviews are epic, and i agree her season 4 reviews were better.
Hey guys! Thanks for tuning into another episode of "The books are better!"
I know, this show has really jumped the shark, she has absolutely ZERO passion about GOT now.... Ive switched to Emergency Awesome for my GoT reviewing, much more passion much less feminism/man hating misandry. More eloquent etc.
+Duke Davis thanks for the recommendation. Ive been considering unsubbing. Im so tired of her negativity about everything that's not EXACTLY like the books from these recaps to movies etc. "Im better than all of you because I read the books before anyone before it was cool! I only do these as pity fan service!"
Same here. Found this channel through Epic History and it was great back then. Now these reviews are basically just some boring rants that I can't stand anymore. I really almost fall asleep watching.
If you can't understand the simple fact which is money and a longer season, you will always complain about things that could had been done better if they had either more screen time and more money, it won't always be because of the lack of creativity nor good writers, from that point and beyond, it's just pure unreasonable nitpicking. The show does have some bad writing but by the way some people talk, it's like they either take the good writing for granted or choose to only focus on the minor bad things, which of course they will never call "minor", the whole thing about nitpicking is exactly turning minor into major.
The rituals or the kingsmoot, for instance, of course they can easily make it better but they need more screen time and most of the time, they won't be able to, so they have to be objective and keep the essential. Some will show some other parts that could be shortened to favor this other scenes but that will always be debatable. People don't know why the producers are showing a certain character more than you feel like they should or how the general public don't know the characters and their locations as well as book readers and some other hardcore fans that watch videos about their series. The show is not made just for you, or for me, so don't act like you are the center of the universe.
So can you say that you know for certain which scene is deletable or not? You can't because you don't know, aside for that, there can be some mistakes but again, going for that is just nitpicking. Some people can't help themselves, they have an expectation that will never be able to be matched by a show in the real world, outside their own bubble which is their imagination. As such, these people should simply live in their imagination, otherwise they will eventually turn their frustration into an unreasonable endless whining. You want to ignore reality and just demand a better show, ignore budget, production logistic, episode length, season length and everything? Well, you can, but then if you wanna ignore so many important things, why not ignore everything altogether? It's impossible to argue when each person become selective about what they take into account or choose to ignore, what the point of discussing anything then?
Are you talking about a particular complaint? Because I don't think I agree with that. Looking at what they did with Dorne, for example, it would have been better to not show any of that mess and just have someone receive the news from a raven, which would have saved them a bunch of time and money.
S2MH I'm talking about her complaining over the rituals, the kingsmoot and some other things that simply can't be done or take more screen time in a just 10 EP season. They could do better rituals, but that would require more screen time and more money. But of course there are some others that could had been better written.
About Dorne. It was pretty terrible BUT it couldn't be done with a Raven, clearly. In a series with a few characters it's already complicated enough to show development and follow different storylines, in GoT, it's a whole another level. There is a reason they had to show Dorne, there is a reason why we had to get to know some characters, they have a role to play in the story.
Some basic storytelling or just common sense would reach the conclusion that you can't have any character that was just mentioned by Raven in some random EP, all of sudden jumping into some important roles for the conclusion of the series. Everybody would ask, where the fuck did these guys come from?
So we can only conclude that Dorne's characters are important to move the story forward and they appeared - even so poorly - for a reason.
Disagree entirely. How much more money would it require to simply have more extras and have Euron show up at the kingsmoot with some fake loot?
They had all the time in the world. Unlike other tv shows they had a book series to turn too, and could have sat down with Martin and written the entire thing from the get go. That would given them more time to make it and solve everything, and the money. There's a solutuion to every problem. Maybe less cgi and more practical effects would have saved them some more. Shot more when on locations instead of having to go back every year. The amount of money you'd save on logistics alone. There's a solution to every problem. That's what good producers do. So it's not really much of an excuse.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... what geniuses! Can't even understand screen time x actual time. Moreover, the solutions for "simple production problems"? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... clueless! How about a reality check? Oh, the Internet!
I'll try to keep this short, and I have to start by saying I absolutely love your epic history videos and your channel overall for the most part. But for an episode you say you liked, you really shit all over it. It's gotten to the point that when you say "in the books..." I just roll my eyes because I know you are going to criticize the show for not being like the books. And it's surprising to me since you use TH-cam as a career and don't necessarily have the resources or time to put on screen everything that's in your head. The same goes for the show, they can't put everything on screen that they want to because there are limits to making a show; Martin has no limits when writing his books. Point being, I feel like you look at the show as if the books are it's screenplay. But the books were never designed to be adapted--they were designed to be books, so obviously not everything is going to translate exactly how you want. And if you're having this much trouble keeping the two separate, then you probably shouldn't watch the show anymore.
If you want a review from someone who hasn't read the books and doesn't say, "well in the book...." Then just watch Grace Rudolph's review. She hasn't read any of the books and reviews the show as a show on tv.
You start by writing you will keep it short and then go on to write an essay.. man that's so not cool..
Apoorv Kumar I know my comment ended up being way too long
+rontopdog2008 Oh god. Well you can't. The books are so good that if the show dips in quality a little, it's a big deal to the book readers. It's not like the books are books, they are held as bibles and if the adaptation is not 100% amazing or absolutely great, then the books readers sky high expectations are broken.
+rontopdog2008 even thought the show is amazing to non book readers, the book readers expectations are so high that tiny things are a big deal.
I'm glad you're still talking about the books regardless of these idiots. Keep up the good work you are one of the only people I watch GOT reviews of!
I'm a 29 year old man and I wept bitter tears for Hodor in this episode. He was a character I thought was there for nothing more than to make you smile, little did I know he made me feel the most in this show. RIP Hodor and Summer.
so does this mean Hodor will not be winning the iron hrone after all?
wwas really looking forward to a khaleesi hodor sex scene.
jorahs too busy curing himself. maybe jon snow will be sulking in his self loathing in the corner or something.
He will. This week's Ep will start with him letting the door open, mowing down all those wights, defeating all the 3 Walkers and the Night's King with a flaming sword, because he, not Jon or anyone else, is the Azor Ahai. Then we can watch him get the throne
At the rate everyone is dying I doubt there will anyone left to sit on the throne. And I'm including the Dothrakis.
Was shocked with the red wedding, screamed praise to the old gods and new at the purple wedding, and cried tears of disbelief over this episodes revelation.
I thought Sansa did the right thing by not accepting Little Finger's knights of the Vayle. Ned Stark accepted Little Finger's City Watch and that didn't go so well for Ned.
Vale.
One 80s comedy montage later...1000 ships in the waters around Pyke, Euron high-fives a robot, freeze frame, laugh track.

I don't like these live GoT reviews. Let's get some production value and clips and editing. I loved this channel but now its sorta losing all its steam. I know you're working on X-Men Epic History, but i want your other content. Not these cheap quick vids.Take some of that X-Men production value for some comic and movie reviews please. I just really miss all your good content.
you know
I'm sorry but at one point you said in your videos "you think im not playing GoT out here in Hollywood? I'm definitely playing GoT out here" and it's been bothering me. You are not a fucking GoT chracter. GoT character are original. You are not original. All you do is comment on and criticize other people's work. You aren't some special little snowflake, but a bastardized reflection of one.
you youson Damn that was harsh... but sorta funny!! I miss the good videos with production value where i actually liked her criticism of others peoples work. Not its the most lazy, bare minimum nonsense on youtube. And having the guy talk in the background just so she can repeat it to the audience as if we didn't hear him. If he's going to chime in constantly and help guide her "review" (I use that term lightly) the whole time than they might as well put him on screen in front of the camera like they do with the robot version of him.But that would be too much work and might even require editing so scratch that idea. Im so angry with how this channel has just become complete shit. I was hoping it would go back to how it was after the stupid fucking X-Men thing no one wants was over but no. I might have considered buying the stupid X Men bs if she cared about her other videos at all.
I LOVE the live recaps! They're not like the old ones but I appreciate being able to participate in the discussion. And with the show airing at the same time all over the world... Having a live recap show is very fitting. Thanks, CBG19!
One change from the books that I HATE is suddenly kinslaying is cool in Westeros? Euron being out and open and still having the Iron Islanders support? The Northerners being cool with Ramsay butchering his whole family? Ellaria and the Sand Snakes killing Oberyn's brother and nephew because...the didn't act enough when Oberyn, his sister, and her children were killed? And the guards and rest of the Dornish being cool with it? Idk it just rubs me the wrong way?
in terms of the Iron Islands kinslaying is not taboo there.
+SantomPh nah man, remember how Victorian HAAAAATES Euron, but the only reason he won't kill him is because kinslaying is taboo?
This is her reaction to literally EVERYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING.. *shrugs shoulders* "I dont know, whatever.... we'll see"
Still hating on parts to be hip I see... I remember how good your stuff was before you hit the big time
I don't agree with her, but it's an opinion. I don't think she's doing it for the sake of it.
Maybe, just maybe, the show's writing turned horrible at the same time she "hit the big time?"
she's an avid book fan. D&D shat all over massive parts of Georges well laid plots and plans. Like Dorne and a good example of Georges amazing pay off was Hodor aka Hold the Door. that was all George. So yeh id be bitter too knowing how much better certain things could be.
Erik Magyarsthetic I'm in the middle of Dance of Dragons, with bits of the book spoiled for me, so I think I can consider myself amoung the book readers. I enjoy GoT as a whole, book and show in all. Do I agree with *everything* the show does? No. Is it ok to point out stuff you don't agree with? Yes. Is it ok to dislike the show? Yes. However, reasons for disliking and complaining about the show is where I draw the line.
My interpretation of someone having "shat all over" someone else's work, like you say, is implying they have no respect or love of the original work. From what I've seen and heard, that cannot be further from the truth. A lot of those who complain about the show seem to get in their minds that the show runners think they're better at writing the story that Martin for the reason that they make changes to the story. May I remind everyone that this is an *adaptation*, not a carbon copy. Martin is in the middle of writing the next book, which has been a long time coming. In between then and now, the show runners are doing their best to tell a story to the best of their ability while borrowing certain elements of Martin's story *with his express permission*, as well as not step on his toes and allow him to tell the story *he wants to tell* as he finishes the book. That's a fact I think many people here are forgetting. The two main show runners aren't some random hollywood execs with no prior knowledge of the books. They are avid book readers like many of the audience. Unlike the audience, however, they've talked to Martin personally and know generally where the book story is heading. So really, they have more knowledge of the story then *anyone* here. That doesn't mean they're above criticism, but don't talk like you know this story better than them, because you don't, simple as that.
And like she says in the video, she wants to read the story first before seeing it condensed into TV. If the show runners decided to spoil the entire book series with no changes to the upcoming story, what would be the point for Martin to write the books? So you either quit complaining, stop watching the show, and wait for the book, or you follow the example of the youtube channel Westeros History and accept the fact that the show is it's own thing and should be viewed as such by default before being compared to the books.
I get your point. But people keep repeating the line "the show is it's own etity" or "it's an adaptation" ok fair enough but when you make illogical changes that cause your story to skip plots and entire storylines for characters when they are well aware that they are rapidly approaching the end of their source material, where is the reasoning behind that? Its counter intuitive. When they make a change based on adaptation or budget its cool but when they drop minor details that would only add to the magnificence of the story or make massive changes that benefit nothing and only take away from the show it just annoying. Goodbye Dornish master plan :/
At the end of the day the show is based on the books. Without the books there is no show, without the book fans there is no initial launch fanbase to springboard off of. As much as they'd like to try there is no escaping it. The show is anchored to the books and will always be judged in comparison to it.
Maybe bran will go back in time and make the wall 10ft higher.
Errr ... her being impervious to fire was a one time thing in the books? It happened twice in the books ... so, not a one time thing. Once at Drogo's funeral pyre, and once at the fighting pits of Mereen. Drogo pops up and starts eating the fighters. Dany jumps down to control him only to get a face full of dragonfire. Naked and bald, as the fire has burned her clothes and hair, she grabs a whip and begins to crack it to reign him in. He fires off another blast at her but only the whip catches fire. She then cracks the flaming whip across his nose. Stunned, Drogo submits to her. Only then is she able to mount him and fly away.
Fire didn't kill Viserys, molten gold did. And the mad King's obsession with burning King's Landing down to the ground with dragonfyre, was grounded in the idea that he was impervious to it. It may not be a gift shared among all the Targaryens equally, but it isn't a fluke when it happens either.
Aerys wanted everything to burn, including himself- his belief that he was a lord of fire was part of his insanity.
GRR Martin himself was the one who said that Dany's survival in the pyre was a one ime thing, answering a question from a fan, long before this episode.
GRRM has specifically said the dragons hatching was a one time fire thing having to do with blood magic because of the witch burned also.
I dont think she gets hit by fire in the fighting pit scene. You sure?
I've never heard nor read GRRM say such a thing. So I can't imagine the context to which that answer was given. The only thing I can think of is he was purposely misleading someone who had yet to read the books or at least had yet to read A Dance of Dragons. Hell, maybe he meant that fireproof Targaryens were related to the cyclical nature of magic in that world ... related to whether or not Dragons exist in it. Blood Magic hatched the three dragon eggs. Dany's fire immunity was either inate or activated as a consequence of the dragons hatching.
I might have forgotten a few details in the years since I read the last book, but Dany being engulfed in Drogon's flame and again not being burned is one of the most indelible images from A Dance of Dragons.
But in the arena scene in the book she races down to drogon when he is burning everyone alive and almost catching fire from the heat of the dragon flames, but survives it loosing her hair (Or clothes I haven't read it in a while). I don't think normal fire is going to hurt her.
still sad for Hodor....
sad...
Sir Holder of the Door...
he was knighted post-mordem
Distract yourself with Tormund eye banging Brienne.
you actually didn't see him die did you now
Im not sad that he's dead..Im sad that he had to live his whole life knowing A. He is going to die by zombies B. He has been stuck in an endless Warg loop, and is not retarded...
I suppose cutting off his own arm wouldn't have save Jorah? I feel like he should have amputated that shit as soon as it happened.
he should have done so as soon as it happenned, but he only realized it after landing with Tyrion
Didn't Stanis' daughter have gray scale on her face? I think there is a cure, or at least something that stops it from spreading. I'm pretty sure it was the red priest that helped her. I have to re-read the books, been too long since I last read them.
Jason McAlpin
Yeah, something was done to stop it, so there is hope for him.
It might be easier to stop greyscale in a child than in an adult. don't know though
Who said anything about the Knights of the Vale being anywhere near the north? The odds of Littlefinger being there that fast are slim enough, an army? No. The knights of the vale are nowhere near the north yet. If they were then they would have already been engaged by Bolton.
LF said they were at Moat Cailin, so yeah they _are_ in the North.
If if they are (which is plausible) that is just barely in the North and way further south than Winterfell let alone Mole Town. The idea that Sansa would be able to simply commandeer them right away is ludicrous.
Moat Cailin is closer to Winterfell than Winterfell is to Mole's Town and the Wall. It is also very close to White Harbor (which is where I think they are headed). From there it's a quick trip up river (not as quick as Littlefinger's jetpack) using the Manderly fleet to reach Winterfell. I agree that Sansa won't just up and commandeer it but they _are_ there to help *her*.
a detail most people wont give a fuck about tbh
I suppose it depends on if they were going by land or sea. I was picturing them going by sea and crossing the bay to get to Whiteharbor and then going to Moat Cailin. That way they avoid the Mountain Clans and the Neck.
I can't remember from the previous season, does Cersei know about Ramsay marrying Sansa?
Your cool Comicbook girl but the constant comparison to the books is a party killer. Consider the fact to that Weiss and Benioff already know the ending per George RR Martin.
I am genuinely shocked that you thought this was the best episode. I thought that the writing was really dumb, alot more like season 5. That last scene was like a bad action movie. I wanted to feel sad, i knew i was supposed to, but i just couldn't. It was too poorly done.
You might be the only one on earth who thinks like that.Last scene wounded us all.
Eyüp Gökhan Karahan I'm probably in the minority but i guess you an't please everyone. I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway
J3SS3 H
Man you are talking like you've started to watch GOT from last episode! It is not just some fat kid's seizure,it is how Hodor became Hodor,the most innocent and naive chracter's murder,Hodor's sacrife,his strength,how Bran cause it,Bran's guilt,how Bran's power might effect other events in GOT history and many more things for real GOT fan.If you dont understand the importance of scene,that doesnt mean that scene was that,it means you need to learn lots things about GOT.
So, if marking Bran allows the walkers to enter a magically protected area he's in and, if Mira is going to take Bran to Jon at the Nightswatch, does that mean that when Bran enters the wall again, will the magical protection be dispelled allowing the walkers to proceed south?
Did Mira and Bran escape or were they let go?
You might be right.People say Knight King will destroy the wall;that's probably how he will do it.
But they didnt let them go.Night King was dealing with 3ER,Summer sacrificed himself,last child of the forest did a suicide attack,Hodor was holding the door ,remember?They all died to buy sometime for Bran to escape.
As most of people infers from E6 Promo that someone will save Bran and Meera,and that someone probably be Benjen Stark.
Eyüp Gökhan Karahan Yeah, but the Nightsking had a large enough army to have that whole mountain covered. He likely knew about that door and left it open as a way for Bran to escape. Now he'll drive Bran toward the wall always giving him just enough breathing room to keep ahead of him so that he thinks he's getting away when what he's really doing is what the Nightsking wants. Taking the mark into the wall.
White walkers were trying to kill them all right there,Bran could be dead right there, before he got to the wall.What you say makes sense but i dont know if the Night's king is capable of making that kind of complicated plans.Maybe Night's King was going after him,Benjen Stark helped them to escape rapidly. We will see about that in the next episode.
Btw, are we sure that NK is gonna destroy the wall? Is it written in the books?
Eyüp Gökhan Karahan The destruction of the wall gets foreshadowed in both the books and the show, so we assume that it goes down at some point to let the walkers become a threat to the rest of humanity.
And while the skeletons were chasing Bran and Meera the whole time, they are not necessarily trying to kill Bran. Like I said, the walkers have more than a hundred thousand in their army now, that door was at most a few hundred yards from the main entrance, so the walkers would have found it and could have easily had it cut off.
But they left it open and I think it's so the Nights king could use Bran to defeat the magic guarding the Wall.
Remember. Walkers don't sleep, so overtaking Bran and Meera should be easy as they have to stop to rest while the walkers don't. Only reason Bran and Meera should be able to even make it back to the Wall is if the walkers allow it.
Maybe they just didn't know about the other exit. Maybe they just got his location and that's it. Maybe they're not good at tracking too. =P
I really hate how Martin tries to make every character complex, parting from no one is completely evil and no one is completely good...then show says fuck it and goes with "let's go kill my nephews for no reason whatsoever"
i believe he wants to kill them bc they want him dead, she even threatened him bc he killed her father
If they want him dead it would be because he went out of his way to admit he killed their father, again for no reason whatsoever.
Euron is supposed to be this larger than life cool pirate (probably full of shit, but he knows how to sell his bullshit to the masses), not reaver Ramsay Bolton.
He didn't went out of his way. She accused him, and instead of denying it and looking weak, he took it as a strong point, he even apologized for not killing him sooner! That's pretty clever. Also, He needs to kill his niece and nephew, They can challenge his rule.
Been a sub for 4 years now. Saw lots of people hating on cbg19 in the comments just had to say you do you cbg19 I am enjoying the new format... not seeing anything like this among my other channels I tune in for all things GoT. If you don't like the critical book reader go to Emergency Awesome. He has read the books but according to him every episode is 10/10 show adaptations got to do what show adaptations do. Me personally I go to CBG19, Rawrist, Preston Jacobs, and Because Geek for my GoT reviews, with some lagniappe Smokescreen and Red Team Review.
Iron Islanders: WE WUZ KANGS N SHIT
Also, not enough Max von Sydow. I guess he was expensive :/
he is expensive and still active in theater and other projects.
He's also reaaaaally old. Don't want to have recast that character again.
dude...
They should have kept the first guy. MVS added nothing to the role.
The three eyed raven was terribly portrayed in the show and he didn't actually do anything and taught anything to Bran. Not gonna miss him.
I am a simple man, I see "cruella de vil", I click like.
CBG19... I implore you. You have friends "inside", or people that know people. PLEASE find out why the hell these writers or whoever refuse to have anyone look the tiniest bit different then everyone else. It's not just Euron, there was also Salladhor Saan, Xaro Xhoan Daxos, Daario Naharis, and many others. Are D&D just so against costumes and makeup? There has to be a logical explanation. I mean, they can't even give Euron a fuckin eyepatch??? Is that so crazy??? It boggles the mind. Overall, very good episode, though the King's moot part was so bad, I wish they had just skipped it like they wanted to.
Its because they don't want it to seem silly. They think some of the characters, such as Daario, that have more outlandish or radical costumes and looks in the books would seem too silly on TV. They try to make the show very realistic, which for them means hitting almost everything over the head with the bland stick.
I do wonder about Euron's eye-patch, perhaps they will give it to him during the season or next season to show character development? You know maybe someone attacks him or something and BAM he suddenly needs an eye-patch. I could see them doing something like that.
+vidarDJ16starkill the thing is the Ironborn are not cartoonish pirates, having Euron with an eyepatch will only give people Pirates of the Caribbean flashbacks
D&D think they're geniuses. They think they're TV GRRMs, so they won't ever accept they're doing stuff wrong
+Katsumi think the popularity of the show should tell you that they know exactly what they are doing
Scott S Popularity =/= Quality. Or would you tell me Justin Bieber is a musical genius?
It's great to relive these episodes with you.
Will Brienne Run into Lady Stoneheart on the way to River run?
no.
that would be cool but i feel like she would need a bigger build up to show up.
+Daniel Whittaker (PerfectBeef1) yeah i agree. but brienne might wanna watch out.
I loved how in one episode, we witnessed;
Jorah actually confess his love. Finally. And Daenerys accepting it.
-Real fear in Varys eyes, and also cockiness, when discussing with the red priest.
Arya "re-live/watch" the horror that was the death of her father. And how it had been turned into a farce for the common people to laugh at.
The rise of the Pyke rebellion (but it was poorly executed).
The birth of "The Others". And that it was directly because of the Children of the Forest. But indirectly because of man.
Bran once again cause lots of trouble due to his curiosity. And we saw the power of the Night's King.
Sansa learning to 1) force Littlefinger to take responsibility and admit his actions 2) Keep him out as an information source for a meeting that would've made it look like he was their ally, since he always does the same thing - get close to people and then stab them in the back. (Ned, Lysa, Sansa.)
The death of Summer (the direwolf), but in a metaphorical sense it was the death of summer itself. The Night's King is here and winter has finally arrived in Westeros.
And contrary to all other deaths in GoT Hodor didn't bring this upon himself: Robb/Talisa (broken vow), Ned (honor/stupidity), Osha (plotting murder), Stannis (rebellion), Martells (supressing the will of their people) etc. Hodor made a pure sacrifice.
I feel bad for CBG19, it almost seems like she doesn't want to do the reviews.
Lets trade every Sam and Gilly scene for Brienne and Tormund scenes. They're awesome together
will she ever just do a photo shoot with meg turney
I like the idea of Arya warging into Nymeria but D&D will probably just kill her.
what was wrong with episode 3?
the quality of her recap was not good (worst than this one, ikr?) so she did not want to put up with the criticism for the quality.
+Emmykins83 You mad because people read or what?
I was wondering the same thing.
Tywin walked into the sea carrying Tyrion as a baby. He wanted to drown him, but just as he wanted to do it he heard a voice from behind me. He compelled him not to do it. Thanks Bran!
I don't blame the GoT writers. George has been writing this series for almost 30 years. Needs to hurry up!
I love these rewinds. I wish I could've seen episode 3. Keep up the good work!
That kingsmoot was pretty underwhelming.
Is anyone else getting the feeling that Arya can't forget her past at all, and that she's truly gonna turn into "a girl with no name". She's still the daughter of Eddard, no matter how much they try to pry it out of her. I think I like that more than her just completely forgetting about everything that has happened and just working for these weird people in a creepy house in another land.
21:58 book nerd rage
I think there's the possibility that Jorah doesn't find a cure and we see him kill himself soon. Jorah was her adviser. But now Tyrion is there as her adviser, and Tyrion is the most popular character on the show. Ultimately now Jorah is just taking screen time from Tyrion.
I don't think Arya will become a standard faceless girl. You're right, how would it serve the story? Also, Jaqen pretty much said it when he said, "She has a point." But he's still training her. It sounds like he knows she won't become faceless, but he has other plans for her.
Jorah was also the first of her Queensguard (not counting her blood riders) so he would still have a role to play. He's not as old (or as good) as Selmy was but that's still something.
The amount of beating us over the heads with how awful and boring everything is this season is nearing critical mass or the event horizon or whatever. Nearly every character has done zero to one thing in five episodes. Very few storylines have made any progress and the ones that have are mostly "we're going to do x, y, or z" instead of actually doing it. Booooo
Well, ya know, accept for Jon Snow reviving, Jon Snow executing his betrayers, Jon stepping down as lord commander, Sansa meeting Brienne, Theon returning to Pyke, Rickon getting captured, Sansa reaching Castle Black, Jon and Sansa reuniting, Dany getting *all* if not most of the Dothraki, Jorah not being an idiot and telling Dany he has gray scale form the get go, Jon and Sansa leaving Castle Black to get allies, Arya getting her sight back, Yara knowing the obvious that Euron killed her father and will kill her so she gets the fuck out of dodge, Tyrion compromising with the slavers, the origin of Hodor, *NO DORNE FOR ATLEAST HALF THIS SEASON*. Yeah, *nothing's* really happened this season. I'll give you King's Landing and Arya needs to do something new, but the way you describe it, I would assume Jon Snow's still dead, Arya is still begging, Sansa hasn't reached the wall, and Dany is still captured. The pacing from episode 2 onward has had a resolution of a plot thread or an "oh shit" moment each episode. So I wouldn't call it boring.
pjsmith97
We all knew Jon was coming back and the events that followed were going to happen. Boring.
Sansa is regressing back to a whiny shithead character. Boring.
Everything you mentioned about Pyke amounts to "we're going to do something, eventually" with a lot of pointless intrigue and pointless Theon. Boring.
Dany getting the Dothraki was predictable from the end of last season and again, nothing has really happened just the potential for something to happen.
Rikkon being captured, everything about Winterfell, killing off two wolves for no good reason, and Hodor's backstory = awful. Excessively awful.
Arya and Kings Landing have eaten up a whole lot of screen time and even show cheerleaders admit that they are boring storylines going nowhere slow.
The Tyrion compromise made no sense at all. The masters must be the dumbest people alive if they agreed to terms with someone who can barely hold their own city, offers nothing, and only gets more dangerous by the day as the dragons grow.
donfolstar Jon Snow came back in episode 2. They got that out of the way fast to move on to new things with his character. Yet you still complain.
Sansa hasn't regressed at all. Not a tear has been shed and she's pushing Jon to take back Winterfell. That's not Sansa from Season 1-4.
Dany gets the Dothraki in episode 5. With how the show usually paces itself, I would expect her to still be captured, with us checking in with her once in awhile before episode 7 - 9 being when she finally gets freed.
Summer's death was lame and Shaggydog made sense as to why he died, but it seemed unceremonious.
A lot of people liked Hodor's backstory, so that point simply amounts to your opinion.
Any show decisions I reserve judgment on until I see the end result. If it wasn't worth following, then I'll consider it a waist of time. I haven't seen where Tyrion will end up, so I can't state whether it was a good decision or not. So many people surprisingly assumed in Season 4 that the show writers copped out of having a dragon burn a child alive, to the point they complained about it online, spoiling the pay off at the end for everyone who didn't know. From then, I've learned to wait until the season is over before I judge a show completely.
donfolstar And are we just going to ignore how much "checking in on characters" was done in the last two books in the main series? Chapters with little to no plot development and just there for.....world building I guess? Do they get a pass because they're books, or should the show be even _s l o w e r_ to fit the pacing of the books?
pjsmith97 By no means do the books get a pass. GRRM knew how to start this series and we are fairly sure he knows how to end it, but inbetween is just a mess. Without the show the series would be in full on Wheel of Time mode by now.
Amazed by herd repeating filler, bad writing, no action, different than the books, no budget for Wolves, etc. This book reader very happy with show, especially this season. So glad that the filler in the books has been cut from the show. When you turn a tight trilogy into a money making series you get divergent plots and multiplying characters. If Tolkien had modern publishers we would still be waiting for That Ring to fall into the fire.
Epic History X-Men Volume 3: The Dark Phoenix saga is now available on Vimeo on Demand. For the price of a comic book get the REAL story of the X-Men! (Made by people who really really care) vimeo.com/ondemand/epichistoryxmen
wasn't a good cock shot?....Now be honest if they had shown a warty muff and guys complained about seeing an ugly muff shot, you would be up in arms wouldn't you. "women don't exist to be beautiful for men" and all that jive...? I saw a lot of this in online discussions with the Red Woman episode, when men complained about morbidly obese-crone-witch being nude. Frankly, I don't mind as this is a story to entertain, not a porn flick to arouse. I'm not trying to soapbox preach here...just curious if there is a tad bit of hypocrisy to your POV here...and even if there was...I wouldn't stop liking or watching your videos.
Also regarding the White Walker creation ritual...My interpretation was that a person that is cold hearted might also be said to have a heart of stone...to be coldly logical, emotionless...without compassion. I saw it as replacing his beating heart...with one of cold, black, stone. It is common in mythology that what creates a mythological entity also can weaken or destroy that entity. This is why I felt dragon glass created the White Walkers and kills them as well.
conner kilmer Relax dude, no need to write a book of your own.
***** I have time to write...I'm locked in a tiny room...I'm in the middle of nowhere...my car was just destroyed so I can't go anywhere...and you're going to begrudge me a few opinions....f you don't like it....don't read it....otherwise feel free to comment.
conner kilmer Oh woe is me! I have no car yet some device and internet connectivity. I cannot be helped but to nitpick over a highly entertaining entertainer's review of a fictional fantasy based show.
Begrudge me though you may, I shalt not refrain from defending the honour of this fair lady.
So...between a 400 pound 7' tall guy and a girl a third of that, Hodor was the only logical choice to hold the door. He didn't need to become mentally retarded to hold the door and die a hero. He would have done it anyway. THAT is what pisses me off so much. In that situation, ANYONE other than Meera and Bran is dying because
1. Bran can't hold the door.
2. Meera can't hold the door.
Whoever is the biggest had to hold the door. Maybe George can write it better or something but goddam it just seemed like...lazy. Or just there for a twist. It didn't need to be in there to be heartbreaking. Instead, it just really made me more upset at Bran. Bran has fucked up more shit in this series than ANYONE. He was seen my Jaime and Cersei which got Tyrion kidnapped which got Ned injured and killed. How about this? Bran go back in time and tell himself DON'T CLIMB THE TOWER LIKE YOUR MOTHER SAYS.
Seriously, Bran is almost up there with Joff in my least favorite characters.
My head went back and i said "oh" when she said "retarted"
I tried to watch the recording at Smilescreen. But it was unpleasant, because it didn't play the video without stopping every second. And it doesn't preload the video when paused. Thanks for uploading it here.
Summer dies, winter is coming. Symbolic.
I got the impression from the final scene and the loss of visibility that Meera and Bran are able to escape because the storm and winds are so strong that it covers their tracks within moments. And visibility is poor so the wights can't see them from a distance. I think that next episode is when we see Cold Hands or some mysterious rider who comes to rescue them, because Bran and Meera still have a ways to go to get to castle black.
I blame Bran for Summer and Hodors death. No one can tell me it wasn't his fault he literally brought it on him self
It was the Three Eyed Raven's Fault. He knew how Hodor was made. That's why he took Bran to that exact moment why they had White Walkers on their butt. He also chose not to tell Bran not to let the Nightking touch you or we will all die.
+Brandon Reed Greenseers or greendreamers can see the moment of their own death, which they cannot avoid.
Well, they kinda have to go through the books fast to keep the Stark children within the believability of their starting age. If they took longer, Bran would be 22 by now.
Good to see someone gets it. That's the great thing about books, it doesn't matter how long it takes to write or read them. I'm not taking sides on book vs show I enjoy both.
I agree... but I can't say I'm liking the direction the show is going...
Everything that's happening now seems more and more "convenient" than it is stones being laid/a story being played out.
"TV writing", is what we going to hear for the rest of the show. I get it, you read. I'm enjoying this season even more knowing book readers feathers are ruffled.
I don't mind that she prefers the books over some things in the show. She's not crapping on the show entirely. Not having read the books, I even agree they could have done things better. I'm just glad she's bringing the energy back.
Reading books was more prevalent when that was your main source of entertainment and you had nothing else you could really do to stimulate your attention on.In this day and age their are a ton of things you can do to entertain yourself,so people just don't choose to do it so much anymore.
What if Aria lets her past go, but then can put on the mask of Aria, and she turns blind again when she does which then allows her to interact with her family on Arias behalf. She will still have her duties to the many faced god, but through a loophole and the coolness of the dudes at the temple allow her to do this. idk maybe
Also, I love your comentaries! Don't be discouraged by all the criticism. You have always been clear that your opinions come as a book reader. As a book reader myself, I really enjoy them.
Oh man, never thought about that Dany going crazy like her father makes so much sense for Jonh or Tyrion to sit on the iron chair.
I feel like those complaining about the change of style here aren't considering the amount of time and editing that went into them before... probably for very little profit. This is faster, easier, allows fan engagement, and gets similar views to the regular recaps. They're here to stay, might as well get used to it.
the heel turn!! comicbook girl 19 just went from a 8/10 to 10/10
I've yet to hear anyone mention yet on how the Bran warging into young Wylis affecting present Hodor seemed different. Cause when he usually wargs into something the target creature eyes milk over. But present Hodor's eyes were clear, like he was himself for his final moment. That his dying act was a willing sacrifice rather than simply being Bran's puppet.
It also brings back the conversation between Jamie and Tyrion about their cousin. Who only ever repeated "smash the bugs" while smashing bugs.
How the fuck was episode 3 bad? We got the Tower of Joy and etc. Yeah it wasn't exactly like the books, but it was still executed very well.
I'm surprised for comic book fans you guys can't strap your head around any changes made from the books. It's the same story told in a different universe. Just like every retelling of Batman, Spiderman and etc.
Littlefinger KNEW about Ramsey!!!! Littlefinger stated, "I heard that you *ESCAPED* Winterfell." If Littlefinger did not know, he would NOT have used the term "ESCAPE." Someone does not "*Escape*" a decent/reasonable/mildly unpleasant marriage/situation. If Littlefinger did not know (or were a better liar) he would've stated, "I heard that you left Ramsey, what happened? what did he do?" Littlefinger knew Sansa had something horrible to *escape* from, so he had no need to ask her what happened or why she left. In episode 4, he had told Robin at the Vale that Sansa *ESCAPED* and was in need of assistance . . . Littlefinger knew and he set her up! *Escape* is a word used when you leave somewhere horrible.
Littlefinger knew what Ramsey would do to Sansa and was counting on it. He wanted to outrage loyalists of the North who would fight without payment. Littlefinger is a master of coin. He is recruiting free labor/lives by using Sansa. In the end, the Boltons will be brought down and Littlefinger will be able to take Winterfell for himself by using and overtaking what was exhausted by the Northerners. As a result, Littlefinger will conserve his resources and minimize his losses.
It makes the most sense that Littlefinger wrote the show's pink/bastard letter ("come and see" -letter). Free Night's Watch/ Wildling laboring soldiers!
Your reviews are the best ones just because you have the balls to criticise things that actually deserve to get criticised (for example the Kingsmoot scene). Also I mostly share your opinion.
The whole bran thing is you dont fuck with space time, space time fucks you. Just got to go along with it
Not many things made me cry in GOT, but holding the door fucking got me. I cried twice in the time that the scene played out. God damnit, George. I just wish he was a writer on the show.
Sansa is making the same mistakes Catlyn made. Thinking they know whats best during wartime
Why didnt you listen to GRRM who said "why are people excited for season 6? They'll just get more pissed off!"
Book readers have been rippin on the show for 5 years yet continue to watch and complain.
The Three Eyed Raven is Bran as an old man.
No its not, its Brynden Rivers. The bastard son of Aegon IV Targaryen.
your hair looks very mad scientist-y! love your commentary on this ep...
While I definitely think the idea of Tormund and Brienne together is fun, one thing we're all failing to realize is that Brienne simply isn't used to receiving that kind of attention. She almost certainly assumes that Tormund is joking at her or mocking her somehow, especially if we take her history in the books into account. As someone who assumed he was completely unattractive to the opposite gender for many years, I can relate to Brienne simply not being able to register the idea that someone would genuinely be attracted to her.
I really enjoyed this episode, i'm finding CBG19's take on GoT's really negative recently - ok you've read the books, but this is something different and it doesn't have to follow the books to the letter to be good... personally i didn't care that there wasn't a long drawn out ritual to illustrate how the White Walker king was created, it was simple effective storytelling - nor do i care if the casting for that Greyjoy geezer differs from the description of him in the books... etc etc...
if i was sansa: i would believe littlefinger at this point, because he is "scared". sometimes you have to tell the truth, to save your own skin. and after all she went through - i would have killed him no matter what =D
This show has made me tear up several times, but Hodor had me crying in earnest. No shame, tears fell into my man-beard. If anyone deserved to make it out alive it was him
Does anyone think the red priestess woman that Tyrion meets is suppose to be the asian priestess last season? The one that was in Wolverine. They look at each other for a long time that felt like forshadowing and a major part for her in future seasons....just feels like one of many Game of Throne recasting.
Hodor is the best door stopper there is.
I think Cersei is setting up Margaery Tyrell to be killed off which would allow them to take out the High Sparrow. Hordor was the victim of a "predestination paradox" (look it up, it's a thing). Ramsey is the strongest villain they have his side of Joffrey and Sansa's stupidity will help keep him in power and Jon Snow needs to be moving toward the dragons somehow.
Jon knows zilch about the dragons or Daenerys. you are hoping for too much.
On the Sansa and Little Finger scene, I think this was them realigning her character from the show to the books. In the books it's not Sansa in Winterfell married to Ramsey, nor her escaping with Reek so I'm guessing this other character (not using her name for people who don't want book spoilers) will most likely show up at Castle Black, get a call to go to Moles Town to meet up with Little Finger and she will then reveal what happened to her because of Little Finger handing her over to Ramsey and Sansa will then turn on Little Finger and they both go to Castle Black. Makes a lot more sense as to why she would have just accepted that the Black Fish and taken Riverrun back (as she would have heard it while staying with Little Finger) and also why she would have rejected his help with the Knights of the Vale.
Once HBO realized how awesome and popular the show got over a very short time they should have started season 2 on by doing 2 seasons a book. This way u can take your time and go through a lot of the small stories and plots they missed. Yes there would be a lot of filler but i still think they would have been better off
One of the callers complained that this season is mostly filler, so I doubt it would be better off in terms of TV only fan enjoyment. They technically did what you suggest with Storm of Swords and season 3 and 4, which was an obvious choice considering how much happens in that book.
she was a complete idiot... it been so fast paced, and also you can't know what's filler if you don't even have the source material... so fucking stupid
What did you think Euron was going to do once he survived the ritual? It was made pretty obvious by the fact that Yara took the ships and ran. Pretty much beat for beat about what Eurons plan was regarding Dany and her dragons.
Bran is the Puppet Master.
At this point I think Sansa's so traumatized that she doesn't really trust anybody, or at the very least she doesn't trust men.
Yup Got teary when I heard "hold the door" I knew that was his Mantra. So Sad but Really great writing.. R.I.P. Hodor!
It feels like I am the only one that does not mind this new format, I really like the polls. I'd rather have this than nothing at all!
She looks like a wizard in this video.
Kinslaying is a huge taboo - i.e the only reason Balon and Victarion didn't kill Euron for raping Victarion's wife... so the new Lord cements his place by throwing out their Iron beliefs.
Kudos to the fight scene where after a close armed sparring round The Waif drops her staff and still takes Arya down - great fight coord, Sand snakes are you .... nevermind
Yes! totally. I agree with you 100% on Euron. No Silence, no Dragonbinder, etc. The Kingsmoot of the show was totally underwhelming.
I don't understand, one minute you're complaining that they're rushing through the story. Then the next you said they're just going to keep dragging it out till the ratings go down. Also the creators have said time and time again they know exactly how they're going to end the show, and that they do not want to drag the story out any longer than they have to.
So your whole thing about "they don't know where they're going" could have been easily answered with a single google search... I love the books too, they're my favorite series. But lets be honest with ourselves, there's a chance we never see book 7. The show might be the only medium through which we see the conclusion
One of my favorite things about you is your love of books - others include the fact that you're left-handed, (like I am,) the fact that you're a great artist, the fact that you're intelligent,... I could continue, but I just needed to give a huge shout-out to THE LOVE OF READING part!!! ☺
i think Sansa handled Little Finger in a way i would expect her character to, it made sense to me. as for the forest children creating the first white walkers, i am a bit skeptical about this. if the white walkers were made with obsidian, then why is it their weakness? white walkers seem to be more arcane than natural, like necromantic type magic. it seems kind of odd even if these creatures are fey-like, to resort to unnatural magics.
i think even D&D fey have limits and ethics to some degree that they wouldn't want undead running around. and even if i'm not comparing to D&D lore, just the idea of using unnatural means, being a natural creature that believes in the circle of life and balance of nature (i assume), resorting to necromancy is worse than Germany turning into the Nazi regime.
i don't know, i think they could have gone in a different backplot direction than that, it feels like the directors wanted the shock value of like "oh, the forest creatures got so desperate that they invented these cold elemental undead." i just think it would have been better if there was just some other explanation, like an ancient cryomancer, or necromancer, or some sort of ancient dark god.
but i don't like reading. i read Goosebumps back in elementary school, because i was forced to read in English class. i read a couple more books in high school, also because i was forced to for English class. i just never liked the medium of text for consuming stories. it's boring as Hell, takes hours to get through what would be minutes of plot, and you basically have to imagine half of everything.
well, Hodor is half giant, zombies don't typically have high strength scores, and only so many of them could accurately help bullrush that small door. i actually feel like there's more issue with the way Hodor came to be, it seems a bit of a stretch, but i'm letting it slide because it's based on fantasy elements, and so it goes with the whole philosophy many have which is "magic: don't gotta explain shit".
even if i did read the books, i think it's a cool concept that this Targaryen princess basically is more or less immune to fire. it's like dragon people, or like they were born of the sun, like demi gods or something. perhaps even, maybe it's a recessive gene that was once more common in ancient days as part of a fire blessing spell, and certain generations get this special immunity to heat and flames.
"you put a dagger in someone's heart.... and then they're ICE DUDE."
-CBG19
i think the 3 eyed raven never told bran because his first instinct would be to go back in time to tell his dad not to go to kings landing or stop himself from getting paralyzed which would alter the timeline i guess
