Game of Bastards - Intrigue, Murder, and Winter Is Here

Greetings !

Winter is Here

It  is really good to see you all here today

The Game of Thrones is over for what is very likely to be the second to last season. It was a very good season ,  I  likey very much !

It will have to end soon,  because every year ,  the producers  have to pay the actors more and more money, till  it reaches a point where  they   can no longer  continue on  with  it.

I liked   that we got all ten episodes in a row,  this year and  didn't have to wait till October for the last five.  They could have split them,   as the ending for episode five was so amazing.
We could have   all then enjoyed meditating on the sight of Emilia Clarke's bare breasts by firelight during  the passing months.

Book Ends

Lots of book ends rather than cliffhangers,  this makes the fans happy.

No Narrator  

From time to time a narrator is required,  but there is none. There might have been one,  but he was murdered !
  The lines Tyrion says are often worded in a narrative style.  Brandon's flashbacks have helped partly as narrative and  also with the general pacing .

The Bastards Win  

It  is looking like the bastards will win.  The Sandsnakes are all bastard girls.  Jon Snow,  as you well know is a bastard.  And Daenerys Stormborn,  that is a  bastard name.
