We still have like 2-3 eps left and it is agony finishing this series.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does stuff get explained? That werewolf thing was a huge exposition dump, but I'm still confused about the Godfrey daughter. Was that covered in the bit of the first episode where I fell asleep?
And why are you putting yourself through agony? I mean, what don't you like, and what do you like enough to keep watching? Am curious.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
You are right. Which is pretty much why I have not finished it. At this point I just want to complete the series. 2 hours more I can handle. I don't think I will be in for season 2.
I have no comment about things being explained. My answer would be "no."

Because books.
I'm just going to ask for my Brienne/Jaime card to be officially laminated now. I don't even care it if it's sex or romantic love, really. I just want them to be together forever, riding through the countryside being awesome.
And yeah, I do feel kind of dirty saying that about Jaime, but he's winning me over. And what makes it worse is that I don't think he'd even care enough to want to.

Hmm. I found tonight's episode a bit uneven. I'm not sure I have any safe thoughts about it, even in spoiler font.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just wanna say, I was right about Tyrion going the way of Snape, and I'm not altogether happy about it.
(And GRRM wrote this ep! Come on, man, stick by your characters!)

Going the way of Snape?

As in, the book character is a genuinely unpleasant person who is just smart/unpopular enough to have a geek cult following, but then gets completely woobified onscreen.

Oh, I don't know - we are where we are and we'll seen when we get further.

I don't think Tyrion was ever presented the same way Snape was from the start, though.
