What's going on guys Carmine here back with another review for season 6 episode 8 of Game

情態副詞

of Thrones. Traditionally this show has kept to its lineup of having some heavy things

going down in the last three episodes of the season. In season 4 we had Oberyn Martell

Vs The Mountain fight. In season 5 we had Jon Snow's journey to hardhome.

Both epic episodes which delivered on a lot of points and really shook things up in the

world both in terms of story development and scope.

I hate to say it but season 6 did not deliver on what the standard they've previously set

up. Now I won't say that this was the worst episode we've gotten this season because I still hold

firm that episode 1 will be the worst but this week definitely won't be making my top

5. Before I begin the video I must stress one important thing that some people failed

to understand in my video for last week's episode. This is a review video and everything

said here is my opinion. If you disagree with anything I say here? you are welcome to dispute

me in the comment section or make a response video explaining why you thought otherwise.

But as I said this is a review video and my job here is to make sure I point out all the

For the 99% of you who understand this? I apologize for having to explain it but there

is always that 1% who don't get it so I felt this was necessary to point out. Now with

that out of the way lets get to the review.

First lets start with King's Landing. One of the most hyped up moments of the season

6 trailers was Cersei's one liner "I choose violence" and I was waiting for it all season.

It felt like as soon as she said that then all hell would break loose and for a minute

it did but then it stopped for what ever reason. We've seen the zombie mountain destroy people

before but I wanted a little more carnage on the Sparrows and especially Lancel. For

such a destructive force of a man he is becoming very under utilized this season. The main

purpose of King's Landing this episode is to deal another hit to Cersei who planned

on relying on the old Lannister manuever: Trial By Combat. Well now that is out of the

question because the High Sparrow had Tommen out law the practice, probably after he realized

that there aren't anymore crazy bi sexual Dornish princes willing to fight the zombie

Now..this will be kind of douchey for me to say but what I'm loving this season about

her power is leaving her and the situation is becoming much more dire. Somehow shes holding

it all together that it's almost inhuman. At this point any normal person would be in

a deep depression and crying constantly over the humiliation, helplessness and loneliness

she must be feeling. Her only loyal companions are frankstein and his monster which are about

as comforting as a diner date with Ramsay. We also find out that Qyburn has learned some

devious secret, possibly about the High Sparrow which is a sure setup for their confrontation

And as i said my one disappointment with the King's Landing stuff was how anticlimactic

the whole "I choose violence" scene turned out to be. I expected him to take out his

sword and go crazy on those fools but he just ripped one guy's head off. I did however enjoy

the little twist Tommen brought in this week by outlawing the trial by combat practice

which really does remove Cersei's option for survival. I've said it before and I'll say

it again: the High Sparrow isn't a fool and its possible that, ever since he had his first

meeting with Cersei in season 5, hes been playing her all this time. She thought she

could use him but he used her and is slowing removing her options in every single episode.

Hes a great player in the King's Landing scene and at this point she will have no options

left to play other than blowing up the city with wildfire which seems to be a theory amongst

many people and I can see where they're getting at here. Its later foreshadowed in a conversation

with Jaime and Edmure about the love mothers have for their children. But the King's Landing

stuff was a mixed bag for me and once again there wasn't enough here to keep me really

invested in much of what was going on but I am curious about her next move and I'm really

hoping she and Tommen are secretly working together because if not then her setting the

whole city on fire will really start seeming very probable. Also I'm starting to feel bad

for Kevan because hes really pissing her off and something tells me he won't be making

it to next season. But King's Landing was okay for me, its becoming a guilty pleasure

of mine watching Cersei get whats coming to her but I'm also hoping for some type of plan

B or master plan to come through and surprise us all.

Now lets turn to the Riverlands where Brienne and Podrick have arrived on scene. I did like

the little scene between Bronn and Podrick, as I said in my previous video, Bronn can

be paired up with anybody and make it fun and interesting. He's pretty much saying what

we're all thinking about Brinne and Jaime and here's hoping he survives til next season.

But lets move on to the main course with Jaime and Brienne and in this episode their interaction

was really cool and little cute. It almost felt like two professional people who like

each other a lot but they're trying not to show it in the work environment. I don't want

to go ahead and say that Brienne and Jaime are hardcore in love with Brienne but you

can tell he has some respect for her and he sees a lot of himself in her...and no I don't

mean that sexually. Some people are saying that he likes Brienne a lot more than Cersei

and that he went all douchebag on Edmure, threatening his child, because he wanted the

siege to end quickly before Brienne was put in danger.

While that does make sense I don't think he loves her more than Cersei. Jaime and Brienne

have been through a lot of things and she helped bring him back from a big depression

in season 3 and in a way you could say that she is his best friend. She was with him through

a lot of shit and, to me, what they have is a mutual respect for each other as friends.

I like to think that not every man and woman on television need to fall in love with each

As for the whole conversation Jaime had with Edmure? I liked it a lot. Jaime has changed

a lot since season 1 and in a way I kind of miss him being a jerk a little and we got

to see a bit of that. I do like Edmure's take on Jaime and how we've come to see him as

a good guy but to the real good guys? Jaime is just another asshole and that makes sense.

During their conversation you could sense a little desperation in Jaime for wanting

the whole thing over with, not just because Brienne was there but because he wants to

get back to Cersei and even I'm surprised he came out and told Edmure about that. But

eventually he does convince Edmure to have the gates lowered and I did like the scene

between the Blackfish and the Tully soldiers. Edmure is lord of Riverrun and it shows how

loyal many of these soldiers can be to their own.

But my disappointment in the Riverland scenes comes mainly from the Blackfish and his stupidity.

For him to stay at the castle and die was terrible and poor writing on the show runners

part. And if you're wondering why? well its because their family words are "Family. Duty.

Honor" in that order. Their House puts family above all else. He could've gone with Brienne

because he is well known throughout the continent as one of the best soldiers to have under

your command. He may not have had the numbers needed to defeat the Boltons but having him

around does help in many others ways. His decision was selfish and made no sense. The

House Tully words are taught to Bran in season 1 by Maestr Luwin so Even if you hadn't read

the books you would still know that. Hell I was watching the episode with someone who

hadn't read them and even they thought it was a dumb decision.

what really gets me is that they brought back another great character and did absolutely

nothing with him and he just ended up being some old man yelling at people to get off

his lawn. The blackfish was another character wasted just to get Jaime out of King's Landing.

They did this last season when they introduced the Sand Snakes and House Martell for that
