This guy could. If they were not all dead. Plot armor may be able to melt steel beams but it cannot protect giants from a arrow to the eye.

Every battle scene over 13 living men in this show has had archers and many with less. Hell it was even a point of kings shooting whores in bedchambers and fathers while taking shits.

After 4 episodes of eating only bread and hot pockets for cast and crew, it was determined that while cool, the giants had to go.
This caviar is excellent! Where are the CGI giants?
You're eating them.

Im talking about like an iconic archer more along the lines of Ygritte where its their main weapon and that character has a particular backstory and has some type of awesome bow that shot valaryin tipped arrows or something.
Obviously they have used archery all throughout the show Im just saying having that cool archer buddy to headshot a guy every now and then or save the day with his bow would be nice is all. They showed glimpses of this with Bronn on the Blackwater and The Blackfish during funeral ceremony, just more of it would be cool.

GRRM admits he is highly influenced by LotR as it is. With wonderboybowman added I think it may have triggered the great triggering of the 21st century. Still, quite a few exceptional archers have existed. They are just better at dying.

I just want Jon and Daney to be in the middle of sweet sweet passionate love making and Sam busts in "JON NO!!! SHE IS YOUR..." and then you have a raven on the window perch watching as the camera zooms in on it and it slowly nods and smiles.

do their released runtimes include extra shit like "previously on" and open/end credits?

It appears to include the intro and previously on for the official runtime. Many articles deduct 2 minutes previously on and commercial leaving it only to the intro+run to credits. So it varies a few minutes depending on the source. Episode 7 should be about 10 minutes more of actual episode than 6 was.

also arya and bran should be in the corner watching
this was a good explanation on why the show simultaneously sucks and is decent. I like all the visual cool shit going on - I mean, the last episode was absolutely insane from a CGI and practical effects standpoint, its better than 95% of action movies and that final 5 seconds of blue eyeball opening was straight up heroin into my World of Warcraft: The Lich King memories - and its nice getting an ending to a series that

Season five I think it was when I noticed a lot of conspicuous bullshit. Stuff that, for all its meandering, the book series is better at handling. Dany leaving her ring in the grass and Jorah finding it immediately like some two bit Aragorn. At least Tolkien took the time to cover his contrivances with dumb shit like "Aragorn's Numenorean reeee"

Its not a new revelation by anyone at this point that the writing on this show is pretty terrible, its just amazing the show has somehow managed to keep staying fun to watch (contrast it with Dexter, Walking Dead, etc).

There were a bunch of little bits that bothered the over-analytical part of me. Clearly it's the show's popularity which contributed to the change in tone, among other things. For instance the jokes are all now ball busting bits. Gone is the self-deprecating, Pythonesque humor from seasons 1 and 2. When the show was indirectly poking fun at its fantasy setting as though they weren't sure it would find an audience.
Then after rewatching s5 I accepted the blockbustery approach the show was taking. Given that, the show does 'hollywood' extremely well. Better than the books in that it separates the chaff. Season six was great in my opinion. Also I like the no fucks given approach of minimal Shyamalan twists & ramming through the plot like a bullet.
