Game of Thrones
Hit Track:
Recommended Pairing: An ice cold room and a few ice cold beers... And an amulet to keep your tits looking great.
I'm willing to bet that in hindsight, once it's over and done with we'll all agree that this show hit it's peak at the infamous "Red Wedding." That was the ninth episode of the third season. Since then there have been plenty of great episodes including my favorite, "Hardhome," from last season that really got even the casual fans screaming at their television sets. However, with all of these amazing episodes, scenes, and characters have finally come some duds.
I'm not the first person to complain about Dorne or the Sand Snakes. I certainly won't be the last. It just seems like that was the first glimpse of the show buckling underneath the weight of it's popularity and it's hype. The only show I can remember holding up to the pressure of becoming a pop culture sensation was Breaking Bad, and that show didn't have to pay tribute to a subsect of fans who were invested heavily in the material before it was a show. Game of Thrones has delivered so much incredible television that a very good episode, like the premiere on Sunday, feels a bit like a dud when it fails to blow our minds right out of our fucking skulls.
Game of Thrones has a tendency to start off a bit slow at the start of the season before hitting the gas and just hauling ass through to the finale. I hope that's what we're seeing here. Just to be safe, I've forced myself to temper my expectations and just try to enjoy an incredibly entertaining show and not nitpick every perceived plot hole or oversight. Besides, I think we're done with Dorne for a while. So that's nice.
Also, Where the fuck is Bran? Hodor?
