Question, because I don't remember.

what happened to the crippled kid who could put his spirit in animals? Watching episode 5 and I thought Reek was told they killed the 2 boys, hanging burnt?

 

That story line isn't in this season.  The boy is still alive though.  He won't be back until season 6.

Is that how the book goes?

 

To be quite honest...I haven't read the books.  When it comes to books made into tv shows/movies the directors deviate too much for my liking and I'd rather just enjoy the show.

 

But, I follow the online forums/blogs/etc...like a maniac.  I love the show.

For those without cable or low internet caps... I would 100% recommend downloading them.  Good quality, clear audio.. I see nothing wrong with them.

I think one if the reasons not to, is purely vanity, in my case, I've spent a small fortune on building my home theatre set up, so it's hd or bust for some, sd or ota broadcasts look terrible on big hd screens

But if you are a video buff.. you aren't going to download anything sub 1080 anyways.

Look for an old movie Kama Sutra, (The version that stars Rekha <Bollywood superstar>) She gets naked in that :p

 

Oh I've seen it ;)

i'm pretty far behind, is that kid still the king or has he finally been killed off?

 

Depends on which kid you mean.  Joffery was killed last season, so his little brother Tommen is now king.

Why does this season seem so much lower quality compared to what I I've come to expect from GoT.

 

...maybe I'm just getting bored of the show.

 

...maybe it's just because I'm not interested in the current phase of character development. I find the only arcs I seem to like are not really being shown with the exception of John Snow / Stannis which is always good. They've even managed to make Arya's arc boring, and I couldn't give a damn about Sansa/Bolton, Brienne and Daenerys.

 

I miss the Lannisters, the hound and even Joffrey.

a lot of bad guys we loved to hate are gone and it makes the show less entertaining

 

also book 4 is the weakest in the series. 

 

we are also OFF SCRIPT for a lot little things so its not as intriguing and complex as the book is and was in previous seasons

Well, if they tried to go by the books, they'd dig their own grave. Characters get little screen time as it is, imagine cramming ten more storylines and two dozen more characters, we'd be watching a slideshow, not a TV series. They're doing a marvelous job compressing very bloated source material.

 

For me, perfectly on-par with previous seasons. Looks-wise, might be even better, loved the cinematography of the latest episode. Can't wait to see how the whole Winterfell story goes down (Sansa/Brienne/Stannis/Melisandre), considering it's such a departure from the books.

Man, that was intense.

 

I kind of feel that, as painful (both physically and mentally) this was for Sansa, she still wasn't a victim in all this, as she perfectly knew what she was getting into back when Littlefinger made the offer. And the whole ordeal could have been much, much worse. *cough*Jeyne Poole*cough* Still, very unnerving to watch. I do wonder how it progresses from this point on, especially since this is so divorced from books. My thinking is, her book marriage deal turns out similarly unpleasant, and that it fuels the fire for her eventually turning her back on Littlefinger. I also happen to think he was directly responsible for Ned's beheading (even Cersei was visibly shocked by Joffrey's decision, and I'm kind of thinking he didn't come up with the idea on his own), ant that she will figure it out, and since she is his only weakness, it will be the end of him. Or at least that's what I hope for, because I'd hate for her to regress back into being a pawn.

 

And the whole Arya bit about the Hound was adorable in a way.

I was waiting for Theon to snap out of it and kill Ramsey during the final scene.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.
