>Hello hound, I'm shallow plot device used only to further your horribly rushed story arc.
Wow what could he mean by this, guys?
Eh, I thought it was fine, especially in comparison to the quality of the rest of the writing. It's still wasn't good, but atleast wasn't as terrible as the rest of it.
>ian fucking mcshane in GoT
>has 2 minutes screen time before disappearing into oblivion
That's sad.
the best got has been in a while though
>>70557154
I was excited to see him, was looking forward to his character annnnnnd he's dead.
>>70556959
>I'm shallow plot device
Ian McShane is so good that he can render a shallow plot device into a passable scene.
There is way better shit to bitch about in this show. You are reaching here.
>>70557154
Also this.
>tits and dragons
What did he mean by this?
>>70557192
You should have instantly known everyone was going to die as soon as the cheerful opening scene started.
Ian Mcshane is such a insane actor.
I wish D&D used to him to play some crazy angry lord for a house or something.
They really dumbed him down for this role...
Best episode in ages, and these type of "slices" of events bring a lot more to the characterer(s) than one and half season training montage.
This is what instills drama, not how good big the characterers power level is in next episode.
>>70557286
He isn't even a fucking septon. What kind of septon doesn't know who he is worshiping to?
>>70557324
It was an AA meeting in GoT. Doesn't matter how it matches up to the books. He was a septon because AA is a religion.
>>70557154
>>70557192
I hate when interesting characters get killed off early. Especially this character. I was really interested in her and having another wildling character other than big dick Tormund
>>70557324
>What kind of septon doesn't know who he is worshiping to?
He was trying to speak to the man on his level to get through to him that belief itself is the most important thing. He didn't want to proselytize to the man about specific Gods like he was another potential convert to net. He just wanted to speak honestly, from one man to another.
>>70557437
Best girl.
I didn't understand those horse riders, who were they ? Brotherhood without Banners ?
Does that means we'll be seeing Lady Stoneheart ?
>>70557437
oh yeah, that girl was a dimepiece...
>>70557463
I love her strong german(I think?) accent, She's such fucking sexy milf. Was hoping she would've stayed longer to show her tits
>>70557491
>Does that means we'll be seeing Lady Stoneheart ?
Yeah, it's in the books she's running around with those guys.
>>70557491
Yeah, dude in middle confirmed he was Lem Lemoncloak on Twitter. That and they were serving the Red God, Ray is missing his Seven Pointed Star necklace when Sandor finds him hanging.
Im just fucking glad the hound is back, most interesting character in the whole series.
>Hey Hound, let me tell you about that time I found you, it's a great story, you really wanna hear this, trust me
>>70557324
He's basically an agnostic. He chose the seven-pointed star as a symbol but realizes that all religions are essentially the same. It's important to have faith, that's all. The specifics about different religions are human fabrications. Dude's a bro.
>>70557778
The dialogue was so fucking expository.
>>70557822
This. He's the complete opposite of the High Sparrow. 100% genuine guy, which of course in GoT means le meme death.
>>70557838
>complaining about exposition in a fantasy series
lmaoing @ u. how many characters, regardless of who they are, go on huge history rants in the middle of a convo in the books? That shit is retarded, yet is thrown in everywhere.
Does that mean Cleganebowl is confirmed?
I sure as fuck hope so.
>>70557879
There's way to make it sound less expository. That's the trick.
>>70557915
The dialogue between Ray and Sandor wasnt't oo bad. Seemed like they reflecting on the progess they've made towards peace. Former drug and alcohol users never shut the fuck up about their past experiences.
>>70557491
Arent BWB like Roobin Hood guys of Westeros, protecting the smallfolk and whatnot? Why did they kill these poor people?
>>70556959
The Hound and him got like, what, 15 minutes and 5 scenes? That's quite plenty in game of thrones. Would you really have preferred the scenes being splint into three episodes with first one ending in Hounds reveal, second one in the discussion about sickness and third in the bodies?
>>70558052
They are Robin Hood initially, but after Red Wedding they pretty much lose hope in helping the small people and become a band of brigands.
>>70556959
Better than bullshit that drags on for 2 seasons.

Lem joined the brotherhood because deserters killed his family. Now he kills innocent families for not following his obscure foreign religion.

Why did he hang himself?
>>70557437
She was great
>>70557154
This is actually my turning point, it wish you the best with this show, but I'm out.
>>70559180
It was probably shot by second unit.
>>70559187
The Hound stole his wood
brotherhood without banners = san fransisco cocksuckers
>>70559224
Probably. Something about this episode felt so fresh and unique. Hard to describe
>>70559238
I haven't read the books, but weren't the BwoB loosely controlled by the lannister/iron throne influence? Why are they still fucking about months after the war of the five kings ended?
>tfw you are so desperate for cleganebowl you kill your friends and hang yourself
>>70556959
The actor probably didn't wanna do an entire season and considering how good he was and the show runners not wanting to lose him; they made a deal that he only has to do one.
He was still very based and had some great dialogue with the Hound.
I liked it introduce the hound the same episode arya gets stabbed nice pottery unfortunately arya doesn't die
>>70559187
Someone add him along with Olly, Ser Thorne and the random guy.
>>70559255
It's like they actually made an effort. Something they haven't done in a long time.
>>70559300
>>70559255
They still shot it on the same hill side used in Kelly C's arc
>>70559291
McShane is on record calling out GoT as silly nonsense that normie plebs take too seriously.
>>70559187
is he REALLY dead boy?
>>70559187
How's it hanging?
>>70559320
"Tits and Dragons" is how he described it.
>>70557838
That post is expository
>>70559320
HAH he reminds me of Alec Guinness who hated being in Star Wars and called it a manchild thing.
>>70559187
The hype was too much.
>>70556959
They mean that his entire book arc is obliterated, since there is no pro-peace Septon Meribald speech.
>>70559269
The BwoB were originally a bunch of knights sent by Ned Stark to put down The Mountain, who was fucking up villages in the Riverlands with Lannister forces, right at the start of the war.
When Ned died and they lost they all decided to stay on as outlaws to protect the smallfolk. Then, in the books, they bring back Catelyn Stark and she tells them to fuck things up and burn shit to help her get revenge. Everybody with a moral compass left after that and they become regular brigands.
>>70557208
>Ian McShane is so good that he can render a shallow plot device into a passable scene.
Pretty much. Still the best piece of acting in this season so far, if not going two seasons back. I was disappointed when he didn't go into COCKSUCKER rant at some point, though. He seemed to be just about ready.
>>70559370
No. It's a critique.

When's this? They start hunting Freys but there's no indiscriminate violence.
>>70559320
So what though? He's a good actor but that doesn't mean he knows jack shit about fiction or writing.
>>70557879
show don't tell
>>70559424
They probably only had a day to shoot that whole scene and so went "fuck it use this".
I don't care though becomes this episode was pure kino
>McShane only agreed to play on Tits and Dragons so we could get a reasonable conclusion to Deadwood at HBO's expense.
The fact that Hbonow ran an ad for Deadwood before Sunday's episode can't be a coincidence.pls.

>>70557879
>lmaoing @ u
>>70559255
The beginning was jarring and something we're not used to in GOT. The music was upbeat, the setting wasn't dread inducing, the characters weren't miserable, they were doing something constructive and no one was being murdered.
>>70559489
>they didn't cast him as Randyll Tarly
Imagine how that dinner scene would've played out if they had?
>>70559504
It was a scream of joy
>>70559424
Plenty of ancient bottles (many dating from before the period the show was based on) were shaped like that.
Can /tv/ overcome its autistic need to correct things that weren't even wrong for 15 minutes?
>>70559413
best acting so far were probably high sparrow's speech to tommen and this. coincidences are a funny thing, I guess.

No they weren't, certainly not canteens, who were usually made of leather because glass was too expensive and fragile.
>>70559489
Oh alright then. I see a lot of people here quote actors opinions on their current show and making it seem like it's some huge deal and thought this was another one of those moments.
Last time I think it was Stannis saying the show sucked.
>>70556959
This was the best part of the last episode and you want to complain?
Drop the series for the love of god.
>>70559645
I think Stephen Dillane said that because he didn't like how he was handled and was usually barely given any context for the scenes he was acting in due to green screen and shit. Then again, there's the famous green fingers incident as well so there might be something there.
>>70559645
Think about how miserable Stephen Dillane's shooting schedule was for two seasons. I don't blame him. Bunch of being cold and brooding. it works for Kit Harrington because he has no prior experience but Dillane actually has an acting history.
>>70559314
So fucking comfy, reminds me of Skyrim tbqh

>Its been known for literally a year his role will be very small, possible a single episde thing.

>>70559855
He couldn't understand the green screen effect done fro Davos' fingers so the director had him stare at the blue screen because he wouldn't stop talking about it.
>>70559921
Stop projecting, anon. McShane doesn't like the show but wanted a paycheck. He's right, though, that the show is just tits, blood, guts and dragons.
>>70559934
>so the director had him stare at the blue screen because he wouldn't stop talking about it.
>>70559832
In terms of the actual creation of the show I guess yeah. In terms of writing and ideas I wouldn't expect an actor to know more than anyone else though.
This might be my own hang up but whenever someone says something like "it's just tits and dragons" or that they didn't really understand why a show is popular at all I always wonder if it's because they think science fiction and fantasy is just juvenile in general rather than looking at the actual specific series.
Like does he just think anything that isn't pure reality is stupid?
>>70559934
>>70559974
Shae pasta when?
>>70559217

I would have loved McShane's group spread out over a couple of episodes. Learn more about them, get comfy with them along with the Hound. Nope dead.
Still pretty good. Ian could have played one of the Sand Snakes and partially salvaged the shit heep that is Dorne

Maybe the monkers in suits would forget their trained routine of going to work' My jaw hit the floor and it never really came back up. That's when I thought, is he getting in character to play Stannis, or is Stannis something that's been in him all along?"
>"Sometimes i would go to look into the cameras, and I noticed Jared had put something in the lens. It was stuff like 'What if cameras were guns? Would you buy a mass murderer?' and 'Lights. Camera. Insanity.' I had to ask him to stop because I was getting too scared to direct."

>>70559955
Whether he's right or not, it's pretty unprofessional to shit on a show you were on especially after giving away an element of the story. Some of his colleagues work their asses off in that tits and dragons thing.
The clegane showdown is the main reason I'm hanging in there.
Shit I'm actually interested in:
>Hound returning to fuck shit up and ruin everyone's day
>Khaleesi finally leaving Saudi Arabia
>The Bolton Boii continuing to be a rusemaster extreme as well as a general scamp
>Bronn's based poorfag banter

This was literally the definition of tough chick, or at least how they should be. Not the self-righteous Brienne, not the Smug Emilia Clarke, just a tough chick. I was gutted she didn't make it, honestly she was the best portrayal of a female warrior the show has ever done.

That shit grind my gears
>>70561223
All the episodes of the Hound with Arya had already showed that. We've seen the fuckery that war brings. The septon guy was telling as tory about it. We see how some fuckers come to terrorize poor people. There was no need to add yet another massacre. Maybe before in the series, but I swear to God right now it's just meme writing. It's too much. After 6 seasons we KNOW that this fucking world is unforgiving, as real world is, but real world can also have some hints of hope. This is retarded.
>tfw SanSan ship is still afloat
Set sail for love!
>>70561224
At the beginning I wasn't too scared about a possible drop in quality once they decouple from the books. I had the impression they have achieved to show to some extent the spirit of the books. But every day I'm more convinced that they haven't, that they think ASOIAF is just a gritty world where everybody dies in the end. It's ridiculous.
>>70561269
That hamfisted exposition about why the hound is still alive should have given you a clue about the nature of the episode. The writers can't bring a character back without literally explaining it point blank to the audience.

She's following the same code as every other sworn knight, you fucking mong. It only sounds preachy because so many people double cross and shit like that.
>>70556959
But seriously though, this is the most stupid plot in any show/movie.
>I don't want to fight you, because fighting is bad
>gets murdered
What did he expect to happen, like I understand him not fearing death, but was he seriously OK with them slaughtering everyone else.
>>70562172
I doubt he was gonna stop them killing everyone even if he did something
>>70562172
>but was he seriously OK with them slaughtering everyone else
As he was the leader and disrespected them openly, they probably made an example of him and hung him first or they just rushed him. He clearly wasn't injured short of being hanged so it stands to reason that he bit it first and wasn't given a chance to fight.
>>70558747
>what kept you going?
>>70562679
Yeah nah, I'd say they beat him up before hanging him just to be cunts.
>>70563144
you cheeky cunt

>>70563144
FUCKING CONFIRMED
>>70561760
>It only sounds preachy because so many people double cross and shit like that.
It only sounds preachy because she is still hung up on a pillowbiter that had no claim to the throne. and they didn't make that about her honer as a knight, it was her little girl crush that drove that.
>>70558951
I always saw a young Heat Legend.

I felt the same way when the console of Rome died. Why do they hate people who can act so much?

Meh, desu it didn't seem that unrealistic to me. People always recount events that other people have gone through to their face for the sake of conversation.
