Doesn't matter. You torrent QVC and me and my homies at Big Jew Media will still make a few bucks off actually contributing members of society, instead of thieving immigrants such as yourself trying to get free shit off the hard work of their betters.

Tonight on Pawn Stars. Tragedy strikes when Shia LaBeouf tries to sell his boyfriends watch for cigarette money and instead rapes a mannequin resembling a blue haired flower artist. Coming up later tonight, How China won North Korea for Trump. Thank god someone in this world cares. Also this hour, would you eat chicken with a knife and a fork? America weighs in. Now back to Dances with cats.

I'm better with news headlines than drama.

Lena Cowham. That's Lena Dunham right? But you said Cow instead of Dun. Because she is fat. Cows are fat.

there wasnt originally supposed to be dragons, just the game of thrones intrigue between the houses, somebody suggested to Quarm that he should put dragons in there because 'dragons are cool' and he said, why not? and it shows. the show took these dragons and jacked them up for eye candy and now they are a serious plot problem and without book source material they are going to handle it in the lamest way possible. through a writing team.

...are never parted, especially when an ungrateful Cossack thief tries to act hard when he knows deep down that quality entertainment that his betters pay for is something he will never be able to afford to pay for fairly, so he instead acts like it's still 1999 and Kazaa is still a thing? Thats Russians for you.

Scream one thing you were so cocksure about was your assessment of the loot train episode, specifically when you said "RANDAL TARLY OBVIOUSLY WAS SEEN RIDING AWAY BEFORE THE BATTLE THSTS WHY YOU DIDN'T SEE HIM DUH PAY MORE ATTENTION".

Before that I was bitching about why we never saw a single shot of him during the attack. Well, turns out I was right and that was "lazy writing as you have one of Westeros' badasses on the field and you show NOTHING. At least have a quick shot of him cutting someone down....something.

But now we've found out not only was he at that battle he was such an effective participant he survived the fucking thing.

It was obviously an out for the show runners just to have Dany roast them but c'mon son.

Every episode of Pawn Stars ever:

CUSTOMER: Hey I was scuba diving in the ruins of the Titanic and found this priceless diamond necklace.
PAWN SHOP GUY: Wow that looks pretty valuable, I know a guy who can appraise it, let me call him.
APPRAISER: Wow that necklace is uber rare and worth at least $50,000.
PAWN SHOP GUY: Ok I can give you $10 for it.
CUSTOMER: Oh come on man it's worth $50,000 can you at least do $20?
PAWN SHOP GUY: Ok best I can do is $15.
CUSTOMER: Deal.

Apparently there is some privacy law in Nevada regarding pawn shops that impacts how they have to handle that show. It is still entertaining, though. It is basically antiques roadshow, but the twist is they try to buy it from you for like 25% or less of the actual value lol

I agree the show is totally staged - one of the worst examples was when "Rick" (I think thats his name, its the guy who restores shit and he had a show for a while also on History channel) brought in a coke machine to sell, and the Pawn Shop acted like they didn't know him. But I don't know if they use a set. The pawn shop in real life looks exactly like the one on TV, and if you've been there you can tell the same shit is on the walls, the same signs, etc. And the show does a lot of pans that show the exit, etc, and it's the same shop. I'm sure they just have times when the film crew will go in and shoot a couple of scenes for a few hours, and they'll let the line of people out front just wait.

Plan is pretty of stupid, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

I don't really get all the complaints about "teleporting". They've always played a bit loose with how long things should really take, they just put more of other storylines in between so it wasn't quite as noticeable. But now, ain't nobody got time for that. There's not a lot of side stories left. Almost all the main characters are together in 2-3 groups.

I think the issue is that we were so used to characters spending multiple episodes travelling (Cat and Tyrion to the Vale, Jaime and Brienne, Hound and Arya) that the teleporting feels disjointed. But those lengthy journeys were important for character development and necessary - now those characters are properly fleshed out that they can skip straight to the action.

So yes, the pace of the storytelling is different

It's not so much about showing them traveling, but about the viewer having some idea where each character is and where they are going. We see Jorah at Old Town and when he's cured he says he will return to Daenerys, so it's not jarring when he shows up there. This episode, Jon makes a plan to get to Eastwatch, we see him set off and then arrive there. We don't see either of them travelling but we know where they are going so when they arrive, it's expected.

When Euron shows up out of the blue not once but twice, it's jarring.

This episode had the biggest plot hole since "The Lord of the Rings."
Jon Snow: "We are going to send 8 men north of the wall to capture a White Walker and prove that they're real."
Common Sense: "Or, you could take one of the three fucking dragons that you have, fly there and pick one up and return with it in a couple of hours..."

I was really hoping Jon would ride a dragon back to the North carrying a loot-crate of dragonglass arrows and then 1v1 the night king.

The last couple episodes really cemented how OP the dragons are now. If they can endure cold they really need to show what the white-walkers can do against them.

I played a strategy game called Mount and Blade that has an ASOIAF mod ( A Clash of Kings (Game of Thrones) mod for Mount & Blade: Warband ) and travel is of course super critical. It blows my mind everytime a character teleports. Jon Snow going from Winterfell to Dragonstone is like, an epic LotR trip from the shire to Mt Doom. Euron sailing from King's Landing to Casterly Rock is as long as the Odyssey.

This is especially funny since the show is centered around the two slowest trips in fiction history: Daenarys traveling from Essos to Westeros, and the white walkers moving south. I think it'd be more suitable if when they showed the white walkers they were just hanging out waiting for even worse weather to move in.
