Well the pattern to the show has now been established. Check the thread for two days after for the good discussion, then completely avoid it for 4 more days to skip the binary/baby plop debates.
Spot on.

Spot on.
It's like the off-season on the football board those 4 days. It's hard to deal with 10 off seasons and 10 seasons in 10 weeks. Bit of a roller coaster.

I actually personally love the birthing noise derail this thread has been on for the over exaggeration of how upset people are being painted as being at the scene and the additional hilarious defense of it by stating we don't know what birthing is like in Westeros.
As someone that has been apart of 100+ deliveries (in reality), it was absurd, and in no way consistent with any sound ever heard during a delivery, period (well i guess unless someone was making balloon animals in the delivery suite). There are plenty of visceral and sometimes disgusting sounds that happen during childbirth, no need to add a rubber balloon noise (seriously…how is anyone defending this?).
In all, it's not really a big deal and I still love this show, but I thought it was hilariously bad and I think it is bizarre that there are so many on this thread passionately defending it. It's okay to admit that a good show has some very minor, nit-picky flaws.
For something that's not that big of a deal, it's the main topic of the last few pages.
It's mind boggling to me how off the rails this thread has gone a few times.
Here is the issue-
Someone notices something absurd or bad about the show
Makes a minor joke or comment on it
Twenty bleeders attack the person relentlessly for 10 pages and never concede the last word
Someone else who notices how bad something was and wonders - why are there 10 pages of bleeders attacking people on this subject?
Bleeders then continue whining for 10 more pages.
Hint; its a discussion forum. People can express opinions without being evil racist obygyn know it all villains, and this show doesnt have to be perfect.

Pathetic. Go back and read the thread. I started one joke. You and others bleated on for twenty pages about it. I got tired of idiocy and let you continue bleating on about it. The thread moved on. Then Others wondered what all the bleating was about, and you started bleating again.
Someone else started one joke about stupid squishing noises. You and others went bleating on about how brilliant it was and how no one should criticize it. I made one total post on the topic. You guys bleated on about it for days.
Now you're still bleating, just about your own bleating.
Its a *******ed discussion forum about a ****ing tv show.
Why dont you go open your own thread, the 'no one can joke or criticize anything on the show thread' and have fun doing whatever it is you do in such an echo chamber.

I think the main reason that Targaryens have so many problems is that they don't spank their kids enough.

If cbr ain't a bleeder, then I don't know that we have any bleeders on this thread. And cbr talking about bleeders who have to get the last word in, WOW! That's rich!!!!
Cbr please quote all these posts that said the silly noises were brilliant. A few people (myself included) basically said who gives a **** about those noises and let's move on from dwelling on those noises, but no one said they were brilliant. There were some mild attempts at justifying them as possible, but no one suggested they in fact liked the noises much less that they thought it was brilliant. There certainly wasn't an army of people suggesting this.
Lol this is hilarious

I appreciate the morning chuckle.
I observed that this thread has been a train wreck of derails over stuff that isn't pertinent at all the story we're watching unfold, and your reaction to that is to take it personally, getting profanely defensive, and explain to me what I've read over the many preceding pages... as if I hadn't read them.
But seriously, enough with the straw men you keep erecting. Your problem is that you're happy to share your opinion/jokes/whatever, but if someone disagrees or objects to it in any way, you go on a non-stop series of replies defending yourself and attacking those whose opinions are contrary to yours.
In your defense, a lot of replies to you have been unnecessarily rude and immature, as well.
And I didn't single you out in my post. It was just a general observation that this thread is a disaster, and it takes a bunch of people for that to be the case.
all this talk about bleating and bleeding and I'm still waiting on TC to come in here and provide info on dragon sightings.
Here you go:

Well if the show gave us something better to talk about….
Anyone who uses the term bleeders unironically should be banned
Agreed. Copying the list of GoT characters someone mentioned below with some context of how we would have felt about them through only 1 season (and we haven't even finished season 1 of HotD). I agree that I'm not as into the characters compared to Tyrion, Robert, etc. in GoT, but some of this may be due to the changes. Once we get through the last time jump, I think we will start getting into characters more. There are also characters that have taken a back seat since the first few episodes that will likely be able to have an expanded role going forward (like Varys and the Hound in Season 2/3 of GoT).HossAg said:I feel like people are forgetting that we've seen only 6 episodes. I'm pretty sure our character list through 6 episodes of GOT S1 was pretty comparable.PatAg said:
I don't really see any of the negatives that are being brought up lately.
I'm personally a little disappointed in the time jump this early, as I felt like at least a full season with the original cast would have been better. I think we'll warm up to the new cast pretty quickly, though. I thoroughly enjoy every episode regardless of the time jump.
Major Season 1 Character
Ned stark
Jaime Lannister
Bran
Geoffrey
Khal drogo
Jon snow
Danarys targaryen
Tyrion Lannister
Cersei lannister
Arya stark
Significant/Loveable side character in Season 1
Littlefinger
Maester aimon
Tywin Lannister
Bronn
Lord varys (almost put in next category since he got much better in seasons 2/3)
Jorah mormont
Not as significant/loveable in Season 1
theon
Osha
Hodor
Hot pie
Sam tarly (really annoying in season 1)
Sandor Clegane (almost put in the prior category, but he wasn't the hound we grew to love yet)
Jaqen hagar
Not in Season 1
Ramsay bolton
High sparrow
Davos
Margaery Tyrell
Mance raider
Lyanna Mormont
Oberyn martell
Brienne of tarth
Melisandre
Lady olenna
Tormund giantsbane
out of this list, I'd wager that non-book readers were only mainly invested in Tyrion, Dany, Jon, and Arya at the end of season 1.The Dog Lord said:Agreed.

Ned and Khal Drogo were dead, Jamie Lannister and Cersei were the incest twins and horrible people. JOFFREY was even worse and Bran was in a coma half the season.

Not an issue.
