Even this (bolded section) can be subjective - one can but refer to the plethora of online arguments regarding the Dragon Queen and her descent into Madness.
Oh it's all certainly subjective. Each of us will have our own way of viewing it. I think for me, something ringing false would be more about the content. It would have to seem more contradictory than someone hitting a dragon with ballistae one day, and then missing the next, when different conditions apply in each case. As I said, I think the first scene could have been constructed a bit more clearly. But to me, the issue is in the presentation more than the content.
This might help explain why I still watch it. Particularly the quote from Jester David.
Okay. I don't think I tend to view things that way. I mean, I like all kinds of things, and consider myself a fan of them. But I don't know if I identify with them so strongly that it messes with my perception of who I am if I don't like something. That seems bizarre to me.
As a comic fan I've suffered through my fair share of awful stories out of some sense of loyalty to the characters or whatever.....and I long ago learned that it's not worth it. There is too much other stuff to enjoy and ways to spend time to waste on stuff I don't actually enjoy.
I suppose in this case, given how close it is to the end, I can kind of understand people watching despite not enjoying, but it still seems odd.
Well they could have reduced or altogether eliminated Euron/Cersei, Arya stumbling around KL, Euron/Jaime, Tyrion/Varis cock jokes and a few other scenes to actually assist with the main storyline...
Maybe. I actually like a lot of the personal stuff and character interactions just as much as the plot stuff, to be honest. That's the stuff that gives the action scenes context. Episode 2 of this season being a good example.....it was nothing but character stuff, and it was great.
Hmmm doesn't that happen everywhere (i.e. politics comes to mind) and why can you not have both - valid criticism with insult.
I'm sure it does.
Wouldn't it be better if it didn't?
