Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

I don't know of a single book reader that think Snow is dead. But, we have no clue for sure until GRR gets off his ass and finishes the next book.

Well that was something.
I enjoyed it all pretty much except for the Snow part. Obviously the Snow part is the haymaker, but all the lines were pretty massive. Down goes Stannis. But what about hot redhead and Davos? Why the hell would hot redhead go back to the wall, except ofcourse to revive Snow ala that dude that lit his sword on fire and the Hound hacked up. Sansa is taking a hell of a leap of faith. And WTF got into Reek and why now? The Lannisters are having a go of it. Marcella is surely dead. Will it start a war? Was the prince in on it? And what will happen to Cersi after her nude stroll. I expected the crowd to kill her. As scared as she had been of it. And the mountain is ****ed the **** up. Awesome. Did Arya die? That's kind of how I took it. Anyway. She's in deep shit if she is still breathing. Interesting they didn't bring Bran into this season at all. WTF? What about Dany? Were the Dothraki rallying around her or abucting her fixing to rape the **** out of her like they do? |

I think Melisandre escaped Stannis. He burned Shireen on her suggestion and he lost more than half his army and transportation as well as his wife hanging herself.
His march to Winterfell was pretty much a suicide. |

So we should call our shots.
Snow: dead Rest of the Nights watch: part of a 700 foot speed bump for white walkers. Sam, Gilly and little Sam: figure out how to work with Bran to bring down the white walkers. Bran: whatever the **** is happening with him brings down the white walkers. Sansa: Reek plays the old I'm going to help you escape but it is really torture before I mame you. Dany: abducted by Dothraki and raped a lot because that's what Jorah and Daario: Greyscale eats Jorah. Daario gets crushed by the Dothraki. Cersi: the mountain eats her or something crazy. Thommen: Goes to war with Dorne because they killed his sister. Dies. Jamie: Same Bronn: bangs that hot chick. Fights for Dorne. Tyrian: somehow becomes the leader of Mereen. Lives happily ever after. Dragons: get loose and are a general pain in the ass. Martels: get loose become part of the Dorne war. Die. Baelish: after everyone is done ****ing each other, gets the iron throne. There you have it folks. It'll be interesting to see how wrong I am. EDIT: Hodor: Hodor |

Yeah I'm with you guys at this point. Smart money is on the White Walkers destroying everything. I'm just going to start hoping for the death of any character I like. Might as well get out in front of it.

This is feeling more like LOST and less like Lord of the Rings.
I'd be surprised if the payoff is satisfying at all.

The problem this time around is that they haven't really set up anyone else to step in as the quasi good guy. I realize this isn't really about good vs. evil, but we still find ourselves rooting for those that seem to lean to the good side. They've always had someone to step in next when they kill off the really interesting characters. Boltons? Nope. Dorn? No way. The wall? Not really, but maybe Davos I guess. Tyrion is still great, but I'm struggling to find characters I'm really invested in with Dorn, Myreen and The Wall not bearing much fruit at this point. I'm sure they have a plan, and I'll look forward to next season as usual.

I don't think this show is about the payoff, whatever that might be at this point. There's no secret ending where someone jumps from behind a curtain to wrap things up nice and neat. It's simply story telling that revolved around a power struggle in a fantasy land. It really could be a story with no end.
