The script was woeful with many plot holes and as much as the show is visually just epic, if I had to sit through another slow motion horse riding scene I think I'd throw something at the TV.

People are complaining about the casting. Not sure why as I think they all did a serviceable job with the abysmal scripts they were given.


On the flip side, after being bitterly disappointed with how A Game of Thrones ended I gave A Dance of Dragons a chance and absolutely loved it. Great story telling & they got the casting perfect considering the time jumps.

The only weak points have been some of the fight scenes. For the laman might be difficult to get their head around the time jumps as they aren't very clarified very well.


Also super impressed with the couple of episodes I have seen of Andor so far.
Original GoT did my head in trying to get into it at the start. Here old mate and his wife, no that’s his sister, what, and these kids are whose? But this family doesn’t like this family. I had a printed family tree next to me watching the first few episodes to help me make sense of it.
Was not helped by the “Balinese or Vietnamese” version skipping an episode.

I’ve heard from a few people the time jumps in a Dance of Dragons are very confusing, from a book-reading fan. So they had more of an idea of the story than I will.
Waiting for season 1 to be done or almost done before I start the journey.


Have been powering through Welcome to Wrexham again after an overseas trip. I’m much more partial to Ryan and Rob now. It’s pretty interesting seeing it from their perspective. Eg. Do we go another 600k over budget and double down, or see how it pans out.
Interested to see it all progress. (Slight spoiler knowing what league they are in this season though…).
