Meh. So far I have
watched the first three episodes. First
episode opens with Jaime Lannister on trial at Winterfell, before Sansa Stark
and Danaris Targarien, neither of whom like him very much. Jaime is explaining that although his sister
Cercei is reneging on her promise to send troops to defend Winterfell against
the invasion of the White Walkers, he feels he must come and join the
fight. After that opening not much else
in the episode. Episode 2 the army of
the White Walkers has surrounded Winterfell and far outnumbers the defenders.
Everyone knows that battle starts in the morning. They gather round and do some serious
drinking. Lighting is so bad that I
could only identify who was who by listening for distinctive tones of
voice. Best short part, perennial tomboy
Arya decides that since she will probably die in battle tomorrow she might as
well get laid for the first time this evening.
She hooks up with former king Robert Baratheon’s bastard son, good
looking young guy who is into black smithery.
They kiss, clothes come off, and they get into bed. The scene ends before we can hear any pillow
talk between them. Episode 3 is the
actual day of battle and is remarkable for having absolutely no lines of dialog
between any characters, for the entire hour long episode. Attack begins at 0’dark thirty, and the sun
never does come up. It is too dark to
figure out what is going on, except for a couple of short scenes of dragons
swooping down and doing the flame thrower thing on the enemy.
Not sure if I have
the energy to watch the rest of the season.
