Game of Thrones

I really liked that series at the time... The first Braavosan I saw was teaching Arya how to swordfight, and she has probably advanced to a higher level by now and is becoming a ninja, I guess based on her training. The events in King's Landing are starting to annoy me, it's such nonsense that it's almost hard to watch. Thank you to the creators for the detailed medical scene, and I hope next time they come up with a prostate examination. (16.12.2017)

Episode six - that was really a disaster. The plot didn't make any sense at all, it seemed like the logic committed suicide for good, and when I try to write something about what's happening in Králově Přístavišti, only expressions that are off-limits for people under eighteen come to mind. But I have to praise two things. Little Sam looked several times like Petr Čtvrtníček and Daenerys disappeared behind a rock to pull out a dragon from under her robe. Furthermore, she managed (I don't know when) to turn the unpredictable creature into a completely obedient pet. As I said, logic is a thing of the past. (16.12.2017)

The creators casted my favorite actor Ian McShane in the series, which excited me for a few seconds until I found out what character he plays, then they excited me again by not playing it anymore. That was a nice twist. I hoped that the logic was just seriously injured after his suicide attempt in the previous episode, but it was a vain hope, he is truly dead. And more and more stupid talk in the capital city, that's a disaster. (16.12.2017)

I wouldn't even dare to guess that the creators could come up with an even worse plot than in the previous episode, but they did. The dead logic is slowly decomposing and from that stench, such gems are hatching in the minds of the writers as the release of Řekotočí without a fight, an athletic decathlon with a freshly gutted stomach, and the unconventional use of a dragon to carry out a landing in a besieged city instead of burning the attacking fleet. The sixth season derailed right from the beginning, but its inertia allows it to continue causing further damage. (16.12.2017)

In the ninth episode, I give my record rating of this season because the creators packed two battles into one episode, so something finally happened, but at the same time, I cannot add any additional star because there were again a lot of nonsenses. For example: Why didn't I see those bulldozers that someone used to pile up corpses into neat heaps during the battle? Why did Daenerys burn half of the city before destroying the enemy ships? Why did Jon behave like an idiot in the battle? Yara and Theon sailed from the Iron Islands with a hundred ships, if I am modest, it would take 25 men/women to operate one ship, so the fleet has at least 2500 men/women. In that case, the Greyjoy family is the most powerful in Westeros because I assume that the majority of the population stayed with Euron. I would summarize Sansa's speech to Jon like this: "Why don't you ask me for advice when I know nothing about war?" (17.12.2017)

I'm sorry, but that series without logic simply doesn't work for me. Considering that I am not as emotionally inclined as hardened northerners, the scene with the installation of the new king in the North did not touch or impress me in any way. Once again, I have many questions about the episode, but I will limit myself to three: How did Monster Gregor get into Tommen's chamber? Where was the king's guard? Whom did Arya kill to have a substitute face to murder Walder Frey? (17.12.2017)

I’m ashamed to admit that I was hoping for improvement after the previous season. Mea culpa. It really puzzles me why House Greyjoy doesn't rule Westeros when it is clearly the most numerous. Even though Yara and Theon sail away with a hundred ships, Euron's fleet fills the entire horizon, plus his ships sail around the continent at such a speed that Euron must have seen himself from behind several times. Only Daenerys' dragons can match that kind of speed, except they’re flying, so.. I didn't understand what happened to Littlefinger's brain (Alzheimer's? Dementia?) because his scheming got really lame and transparent, which is a shame. (18.12.2017)

Oh no, I don't see any improvement compared to the previous season so far. As Arya continuously removes other people's faces from her head, I remembered Fantomas. I was truly impressed by how Cersei decorated the throne room and the royal guard, Samwell's studies at the Citadel, but especially by the number of ships Euron has. How is it possible that the Greyjoys don't rule in Westeros, considering how few of them there are? How was Varys able to return to Daenerys? (17.12.2017)

During the second episode of the seventh season, I caught myself laughing quite frequently. Terrible creatures appeared there. Experts at King's Landing needed the entire day and night to design and produce an anti-aircraft, sorry, anti-dragon scorpion (not to be confused with the Czech-origin submachine gun, which would be completely unsuitable for fighting dragons). Daenerys' alliance's offensive plans were almost overshadowed by the magnitude of the landing at Leyte, and Samwell Tarly simply has to be connected to the Boltons of Dreadfort. Furthermore, what does Varys think about the night of the eunuch's passion? (17.12.2017)

The third episode was no longer just illogical, it was a disaster. Not even the Kraken from Clash of the Titans (1981) was as terrifying at sea as Euron and his vast fleet using some undisclosed form of hyperpropulsion. Whether this thing works in any way, it is compatible even with an ordinary foot soldier, as demonstrated by Jaime leading the Blitzkrieg army, something that would bitterly make Dolfi envious. Poor Sansa, as if it wasn't enough that Ramsay did whatever he wanted with her, now she will find out that her brother recorded everything, that's a blow. (17.12.2017)

The creators, while writing the fourth episode, once again returned to their proven conversations about nothing, in which Littlefinger excels, in order to find something funny for the viewers. They set up Arya with her Needle in a practice duel against Brienne with her one-and-a-half-handed sword, but Arya, true to her Stark nature, calmly deflects the blows. And now, attention! Spoiler alert!!! Guess who didn't drown? And the Emmy for the best TV series survival goes to... Bronn! Well, that was a surprise. (17.12.2017)

No! Seriously? I had completely given up hope of saving the one-armed bandit, but it worked out despite the full bladder. That was a pleasant surprise. I realized that I was too much of a troublemaker, but I can't understand where the Lannisters found asbestos to make their banners. I understand that the creators wanted even the biggest fool to understand whose army lost its supplies through dragon fire, but should I really believe that wood and meat burned while the canvas didn't? Gilly is the only one who managed to surprise me, that clever bitch. Until now, I thought Jon was a Targaryen bastard, now it's clear that he is legitimate. Isn't that amazing? (18.12.2017)

The sixth episode "impressed" me with wonderfully written dialogues, to the point where I wanted to tell Jon and Jorah that if the sword is indeed available, I would shoot it on e-bay, not to mention the terribly "funny" interjection by Ohař-Thormund. However, the march to the pole was indeed interesting, I even had the impression of seeing Roald Amundsen twice, and I couldn't miss the beautiful homage to the first marathon runner by the creators. Malíček disappointed me, his intrigues would confuse only Dontos Rudý, and the dragon had bad luck that the King hit him directly into the engine. I lived in complete deception the whole time, I thought that it constantly freezes north of the Wall, but now I know that lakes only freeze when surrounded (WTF?). After pulling the dragon out of the lake, it finally hit me, the King is the Lich King, his undead are Catastrophe (Scourge), and Game of Thrones is turning into World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. (18.12.2017)

If only the storyline of the seventh episode wasn't so painfully transparent. Even in the seventh season, some characters driven by the "excellent" script think it's okay to make a deal with Cersei? Congratulations on the prize for naivety. I really enjoyed Bronn, who, while looking from the walls at the arrival of the light cavalry, speaks of a disadvantage:-) However, Brandon Stark provided the humorous top scene in his conversation with Samwell Tarly: "I see things that have happened in the past, things that are happening now all over the world. Why did you come to Winterfell?" That was great work by the screenwriters, who immediately contradicted the first statement with the second one, someone should appreciate that :-) (18.12.2017)

The plot of Season 8 was extremely weak. It didn't surprise me after the previous shortcomings, but I still thought that the writers were taking a one-year break for a reason. This makes it seem like they just needed more time to totally twist logic to suit their needs. Disappointing, but at least it's over. (15.08.2019)

After several previous disappointments, I never thought I'd give the opening episode of the final season more than three stars. But here we are. My concerns remain, though—probably because there were no action scenes for the writers to mess up. This episode was heavy on dialogue, mostly in Winterfell. While some of it didn't grab my attention, it wasn't terrible. Cersei must be a wild one in bed; poor Euron was so caught up in it that he didn't even notice he lost three ships. What happened to his soldiers and sailors remains a mystery. (14.08.2019)

In the second episode, the action basically boiled down to one deflowering. The rest was just a lot of talking. Based on my previous reviews, you'd think that would guarantee a three-star episode, but... The "unforced and random" encounters followed by "elaborate" dialogue got on my nerves pretty fast. And Brienne getting knighted really topped it off. (14.08.2019)

Benioff and Weiss once again showcased their unique approach to warfare tactics, and this time, it left me almost tearing my hair out. I won't delve into all the nonsensical elements they threw into the battle frenzy. Let's just say the whole thing felt like watching a midnight scuffle between rival gangs in a tunnel - I caught glimpses of eyes and teeth but that's all I could see. Honestly, I think the screenwriters would've done better if, after the battle, two guards met on the walls and exchanged banter like, "That battle, huh?" "Oh yeah! Did you see how they kicked the Dothraki's asses?" Maybe I'd have a clearer picture of what went down. Hopefully, the fourth episode sheds some light on things because, amidst the inadequate lighting, I have a feeling some major characters met their end. But hey, who knows? (14.08.2019)

The fourth episode brought a welcome change - no more relying solely on audio cues; we finally got some visuals! But aside from that, it left me scratching my head. With the darkness lifted, it exposed a bunch of inconsistencies. Like, why would anyone let an army with long-range weapons just stroll onto their turf? And why wouldn't the enemy take advantage of that? I doubt Tyrion would hobble more than a hundred meters to the walls. Also, a deflowering took place, but given what we've seen in the past seven seasons, I'm pretty sure it was the only one left. (15.08.2019)

The whole city destruction thing felt like it was just to check off some boxes for the screenwriters. The plot was a mix of eye-rolling and funny moments. As we're nearing the end, the creators didn't hold back on the death toll. Cersei's refusal to surrender turned King's Landing into a modern-day Dresden, and the more sensitive viewers might've needed a tissue or two. (15.08.2019)
