Let's talk about how Arya killed that guy.
-
I liked it. It was just like she did it in the book.
-
can this also be a thread for people who haven't read the book?
-
I read a recap that said she didn't kill him in the book - that the Hound did. I can't remember, it's been so long since I read it.
Her character is taking a dark turn, and I like it.
-
can this also be a thread for people who haven't read the book?
Yes but don't open this thread if you haven't watched the latest episode.
-
the hound is also quicky becoming one of the more endearing characters, which I also like.
-
reading is for losers
also this episode totally kicked ass
-
I'm on S1E3 so no spoilers please
-
I liked it. It was just like she did it in the book.
She killed the Tickler in the book (who is now already dead in the show, killed by Jaqen) not Raff the Sweetling, who should still be alive at that point in the books. Also, she goes all postal in the books and isn't so cool and collected as in the show.
Still, that scene was really satisfying.

Yeah, I had actually completely forgotten how that scene went down in the books. That was about 3000 pages ago. It was perfect, regardless. The show does a lot of things better than the books did them.

yes, @MODS!!!!!

I'm not sure which Daario I prefer. Last season's guy really didn't do much, but it seems kind of weird to just pull a switch like that with two actors who look nothing at all alike.
-
between the two, i prefer last seasons, by far.

The original one was hotter.

I've barely started the books so I don't have much frame of reference, but I feel like Oberyn is going to do some bad ass things we all might like. . .he seems to be a cool character.
It's too bad they had to recast Daario Naharis though. . .took me a minute to realize that was supposed to be the same guy.

Reading is fundamental, seven.

Love this show. I have yet to find anything negative to say about it, except that I want more.

got has been pretty bad about recasting people. the mountain has had like 3 different dudes, beric (?) has been 2 dudes. they are going to have to recast bran pretty soon, seems like he's almost taller than hodor now.

The rolls got merged, I guess. ITBs Polliver steals needle but Raff kills Lommy, so they just merged the two (which actually makes that scene work better in the show) Polliver does die in the inn but via Sandor. That distinction wasn't the change I was most surprised at, I was hoping to see postal Arya. The way the show did it was still really good, though.
The Dario recast sucks. They should have gone full bore and recast him to fit the books description if they were going to bother (oiled forked blue beard)

The first Daario had better eyelashes.
-
he also seemed more like an elite partially crazy killer, while this new dude is putting wet blankets out of business
-
Seems like it would be a drag to have read the books. I have no idea what to expect each scene and it's supes amazeballs

This show is so great. Just absolutely shits all over walking dead, aka the iowa state of primetime television.
-
I don't read - this isn't the 1950's. The new Daario is ugly. There, I said it. The last guy had eff me eyes and a fantastic smile. The ending scene w/ Arya and the Hound was splendid. The Hound happily eating his chicken after killing 4 men, Arya, smiling on her horse, her needle at her side after taking pleasure in a revenge killing.....both ride off into a sick/twisted sunset which consists of burning fields muddying up the sky. Perfect.

Naaaa, they didn't post ITT ITB.

Ok, so this Daario guy is the guy trying to seduce the dragon lady. It had been a while since the last season but he didn't look the same and now I know why.
Speaking of characters that haven't changed actors but kind of look like they have, Jaime Lanister. The dude looks he's a different actor each season, which is kind of cool considering his character changes each season. He's becoming one of my favorites. In fact, the Lanisters as a family are kind of dominating this show from an awesome characters perspective.
-
Someone I know thought that Jaime Lannister had been recast...Doesn't he look the same now as he did before he got captured and grew that beard? Maybe a little older looking now and missing a hand.

Can you imagine how hard it's going to be to get future roles now that he's missing his right hand?

I think the biggest difference was be seasons 1 and 2, for some reason.

i figured they were going to save that for the end of the season, bout time.

Joffs wedding

oh yeah. This will be the best season, I think.

Holy crap. Love this show.

Hope this isn't considered a spoiler, but Tyrion's storyline is fantastic from here on out.
I've been waiting for this episode for ages. Seeing it happen on the screen was immensely satisfying. I literally was praying all episode this was the one.

Edit the thread title to include "SPOILERS." Maybe even include a clause telling a well-known poster to stay out.

Wow. Did not see that coming. I was sort of hoping his end would be much slower and more gruesome, but oh well. Not having read the books, I'm not sure how this works. Now that the old king's purported male heirs are dead, is Stanis next by lawful succession? That'd be a funny turn of events. Something tells me Tywin's not gonna let that happen.
-
tommen is king now (also looked like a new actor for him)

I was quite pleased with this episode.

I was quite pleased with this episode.

They've stayed true to the books the best they can.

That's how the books handled it, actually. The actor that played Sir Ilyn died, though, so the change is understandable.
-
Did Ramsey Snow have a girl hunting partner in the books? I don't remember her.

They haven't really showed him much, but Tommen is still alive and well (and yes, it is a recast). But no more male heirs would make for an interesting storyline.

Did not know that about the actor playing him, I suppose that makes me less disappointed with the change up. I thought it was just ceaseless meddling by the writers.
Ramsay didn't have any female members of his group of cronies, who she may be supplanting.
-

No, I thought that was a really weird inclusion, especially considering how Ramsey normally treats women. I'm also trying to figure out how him and Ser Amory are old acquaintances.

in the books i feel like the guy who cut off Jaime's hand was more memorable

Vargo Hoat orders it in the book, but he isn't in the show at all that I've noticed. Ser Amory Lorch seems to have taken over his storyline but now he's best buds with the Boltons so I'm not sure where they're going with him.

The guy who cut off Jaime's hand in the show and who was greeted by Ramsey is Locke. He is sworn to House Bolton, so I assume Ramsey just knows him because he is sworn to Ramsey's father, Roose Bolton.

Ah, good catch, guess I need to rewatch last season. I was assuming it was Lorch who is sworn to the Lannisters
-
Lorch was killed by Jaqen H'ghar at Harrenhal.

Yea I remember that now, the similarity between Locke and Lorch had me confused. Seems weird that they'd change Asha to Yara to avoid confusion but create a character and make him that similar to another character.
-
yeah that is funny. also Yara sounds more like Arya than Asha anyway
-

I think Asha was changed because it was to close to Osha, but yes, it sounds much like Arya now

In the season preview HBO air back in Feb, one of the cast described a scene that makes it sounds like Locke gets the same come-up'ns as in the book, this season.

Was that King's Landing that the dragon shadow was over? I think it was since the very next shot was of King's Landing before the wedding...but I am never sure on these shots because maybe other cities look similar from above?

There's been nothing in the show that leads you to believe that Sansa has the ability, let alone the balls to pull something like that off. Honestly, in the book Sansa seemed a more likely suspect than she did in the show. Just watching the show I'd have been better able to guess who was responsible than I was while reading. I thought the show almost gave it away.

I took it to be King's Landing, but that little bit of story line was very confusing to me. Did they travel all the way north so he could touch a tree and now they are heading back south? I'm sure they will it explain it better eventually. . .but that scene was frustratingly vague.

I'm watching the show with my girlfriend and neither of us have read the books. Our main speculation was any of the Tyrells or the prince from Dorne.

Definitely missed that. I just want Bran to control a dragon at some point. That would make it all worth it. Haha
-
The show left out a lot of the background information that makes all of the speculation about who poisoned joff so fun, like Oberyn is well known for his proclivity for poisoning people. What I saw in this episode supports my theory for who is responsible for it in the books.

Interesting. I guess I'll just have to wait and see, because I have no idea.

As far as poison deaths go, I thought they made it about as gruesome as they could. He looked extremely blue and dead at the end, and his eyes were googily. Pretty good.

Haha nice. Is it wierd that it was a giant pie and not a cake to anyone else? I mean,. . .come on right?
-
and also filled with pigeons
-
I thought I saw Joffrey eating what appeared to be pigeon crap on his piece of pie. He probably died from e coli.
-
Didn't Marjorie refuse to eat the pie? I can't understand why she would kill him, but then again there could totally be some devious reason.
-

Maybe so that she can be married to a younger FP she can control instead of an abusive sociopath who likely would have made her life miserable? Seems like an excellent reason as reasons go.

Team Marjorie's mom did it

Somebody explain how the procession works. With J dead, who's now in charge? Is it Marjorie? Or some male relative of Jof? Low royalty iq over here.
-
I'm going to rough ridin' lose my mind. It's Margaery, dumbasses.
edit: as in, Margaery is the correct spelling.
-
I think it was Tyrion cuz he was holding the cup at the end all like "Waaa"? Man, tricky show right?
-

Though the Iron throne is technically a monarchy, it is also patriarchal in the sense that a male heir always comes before a female heir. Since Margaery's marriage went unconsummated and ultimately didn't produce any heirs, she wouldn't be included in the line of succession (had she a child, male or female, she'd be queen regent) So the next in line by the customs of Westeros would be Tommen.

Joffrey has a little brother. I forgot about him too. It goes to him.
Jaime was Joffreys real dad right? And is he also father of the younger son?

-
Looks like ol' Tommen has the best motive.
-
And the worst name.
-
what if tommen is in the pocket of big cercei?
-
i don't know why people won't just give Marjorie a chance, shes basically been proven to be the superior queen regnant.
-
I watched the wedding scene again, and I'm pretty sure that Margaery and Lady Olenna were in cahoots.
First, Tyrion has no motive. What does he gain if he poisons Joffrey? Sure he stops getting made fun of, but he doesn't really seem to mind all that much. Second, it doesn't look like he slips anything in--and he had several opportunities to do it before Joffrey dies.
Why I think the Tyrells smelt it/dealt it:
-Margaery gets super-excited about the pie. They set it up to seem like she was excited about the pie because it stopped the confrontation, but what if she was excited about the pie because she knew it was poisoned?
-If it is in fact that wine that is poisoned, it looks like she slips something into the wine glass when Joffrey hands it to her. (It's not clear enough to overturn the call on the field, but it sure looks like it to me.)
-Most important--Lady Olenna and Margaery both effectively use the "She Who Smelt It Dealt It" defense. Margaery is the one to point out that Joffrey is "choking." Lady Olenna immediately says, "Help him!" And then what do they both do? Turn their backs while Cersei and Jaime run to try and save the king. They smelt it because they dealt it.
Now, what's their motive? It's unclear--either Margaery is going to make an appeal to the people (who love her) that she is the real queen, or there is some financial motive (Iron Bank?) that I don't know about because there's no way I'm going to read 600,000 pages.
WonderMeal's Probably 100% Correct Power Rankings of Who Did It:
1) Lady Olenna and Margaery
2) The Dornish dude (too obv)
3) The drunk fool (not capable of pulling it off)
100) Tyrion
Last place) Sansa. (too incredibly boring)

i don't know why people won't just give Marjorie Margaery a chance, shes basically been proven to be the superior queen regnant.

Just re-watched the episode. How incredibly well acted was that scene at the Dreadfort with Roose, Ramsey, and Reek. Possibly one of the best acted scenes of the whole series IMO.

color me surprised that a 5 book series spanning over 5,000 pages developed a character more effectively than a tv show did. this is some cold fusion type crap going on with this george rr martin guy. i bet he met with bill self the inventor to figure out a way to aptly develop ol' arya sans an hour long tv show.

This practice is based on real history. Apparently it happened on an episode of The Tudors as well.

Joff also took a drink from the cup after Sansa picked it up but before breaking the pie. If it was Sansa that's when he'd have started chocking.

Some poisons have a delayed reaction. Maybe the poison caused his throat to swell up and that took a couple of minutes.

Wow - that's genius, but also pretty diabolical of the old bat to pin it on Sansa, but I guess that explains the Fool's terminator "come with me if you want to live" line.
It's also a bit of a stretch because Olenna couldn't have known that Sansa/Tyrian would hand Joff the goblet, but whatever. Still clever.

Even if that was the case, I still stand by my statement that Sansa had neither the ability or the balls to pull this off. Besides, do the "Sansa did it" folks think she just happened to be carrying around an extremely lethal poison on the off chance Joffrey's cup happened to roll under the table to her?

She's practically in a daze. No way she thinks she can find a way to get to his cup. She's also terrified of Cersei at this point.

Her mental state right now makes her more likely to murder by grabbing a knife and just going to town on someone than the cold calculation needed to pull off a poisoning like this.

I like how people complain about Sansa being boring. She's been passed around like a disposable vagina from a psychotic pre-pubescent king to a dwarf and had practically her whole family murdered, partially in front of her. I'm surprised she can even speak.

I've read the books and know who's responsible in the books, but I watched the show assuming they could change it to anyone (wouldn't be the first or the last time the show changed who killed who). I thought it was painfully obvious who did it in the show but that might just be because I had an idea of what to look for.
-
Honestly don't think without a rewatch it was all that obvious to me who did it. But it would be the BEST EVER if it was Lady Olenna. She is in my top five favorite characters if only because she doesn't give an eff.

They did give a big nod to the book readers that they would not be changing the story in that regard... what do you guys think about the speculative news articles trying to guess who did it? I guess I don't see the point in trying to guess something that is already public knowledge. Either the author of the article doesn't know and is just guessing or they do know and they are spoiling the surprise. Seems odd.

Just finished season 3. I can't keep anyone straight. Sometimes they'll drop in on two guys having a conversation and I just have no clue who they are or what they're talking about bad. I just want these dragons to grow up and have that blonde chick take over everything already.

yeah, when you have that much detail, it forces the show to become cliff notes, as pissclams eloquently alluded to.

I can't explain it, but at some point the entire plot (character names included) just "clicked" for me. Not sure exactly when it was either but I think it was sometime in the second half of season three. Just fwiw

I still have trouble with the minor characters, like all those guys along Arya's journey.
Also, I get was getting confused between Beric Dondarrion and Thoros for some reason - maybe the recasting of Beric was the issue.

GOT is a fantasy epic. . .but it's a little slower moving. It also generally is about moral dilemmas and struggling with real life issues. That tends to be less fun then "Good vs Evil" swashbuckling.

Finally had a chance to get caught up today... I think the grandma did it. Also, I've been able to watch the entire series despite only learning about 10 names. I probably don't have the GoTIQ of some on here but I still have a pretty good grasp on what's going on.
In the end I hope either Khaleesi or Arya win the Iron Throne trophy. I've been #TeamKhaleesi since season 1, but watching Arya become a cold blooded killer as she roams the countryside with the Hound has been a treat.

There hasn't been a bigger two face in the history of mankind than the actress that plays Margaery. She can look pretty at times, but holy eff can she look birth defect ugly. In a two face scenario the ugly one is the one that counts for ranking purposes. Her face is busted.

I don't know what the grandmother's motive would have been.
Maybe she just didn't want her granddaughter being married to a psychopath, but I'm guessing there's a more devious reason that will be revealed.
No idea if this is related, but granny was talking to Tywin about the "iron bank" earlier at the wedding. That's come up before. I assume it will be significant at some point.
I probably should have guessed that Sansa's necklace had some significance, since that scene where she receives it seemed pretty out of place.

Tommen is slow. That is why his character hasn't said a single word in the show's 3, going on 4 seasons. It's a product of the inbreeding.
He's like four years old at this point. The only thing he is concerned with are his pet cats.
In show he looks like he is about 12 so he aged pretty fast from the first season.
I was quite a bit off. The Ice and Fire wiki says he is seven when the series starts, so twelve would be about right. He's very juvenile, but I think that has a lot to do with Joff's bullying and Cersei's babying.

my point is that the characters are not similar, other than being the matriarchs of their respective families.

she looks like her body is equal parts sour cream and Tylenol with the eyes of a opossum staring at you as it devours an apple core from the garbage. if you flashed your headlights at her she would scurry away.
you know?

No, I don't know

Equal parts sour cream and Tylenol? I have no idea what you're saying but :lol:

Sansa is pretty attractive. She's definitely better looking than Cersei.

ANYWAYS... so will Tyrion be on like death row in the next ep?

If you guys GPC this thread up, I'll lose my crap.

ANYWAYS... so will Tyrion be on like death row in the next ep?
There are about 5 characters that they better never kill off or I'll quit watching. The Imp is one of them.
In no order, the other 4 are Arya, Khaleesi, Jon Snow, and Fat Night Watch Kid.

Yes, all things Tyrion related should be great over the next few episodes. The only thing I'm worried about is that they'll start rushing. There's still a significant amount of book 3 left, especially in KL and the wall.

His storyline is probably the farthest behind though. The KL storyline could easily last most of the rest of the season. I'll be pretty pissed off if they try to catch it up and don't fully cover it because like you said it should be great tv

I know that and I'm fully expecting some skippage, I'm referring more to the possibility of leaving out key parts that would be great on tv simply to hurry the storyline along to catch up with other story lines.

It sort of bothers me that the show might catch up to the books and then what happens?

Just watched Peter Dinklage's interview on David Letterman. . .he jokes about the fact that he has never read the books so GRRM is probably going to kill him off.
If that happens I'll be all like

They've pretty much come out and said this will probably happen. Martin has already told the producers how it ends and some key points he plans to have occur. I'm assuming when they pass the books Martin will have an increased role in writing (or at least in reviewing) episodes.

IIRC they are even discussing deviating a little from the books so that the ending works well for the show. This meaning that a)a lot of things won't match the books and b) the book snobs will have nothing to say! :thumbsup:

Hadn't heard that but I'm fine with that. The 2nd half of book 3 is one of the best parts of the whole series. The only thing I've read that worries me they'll try to hurry things is they're worried about how old the kids are getting to play their characters.
-
From what I understand the Jon Snow and Daenerys storylines are from books four and five because they aren't really present in the end of book three and book four and five run concurrently.

There's still quite a bit of Jon's story from 3 that hasn't been covered. But they've already done a few things that will allow them to easily shorten it. Dany's storyline is pretty close to the end of 3 already though.

Am I the only one that thinks Goffs brother could actually make a really good king, and as long as Tyrion is set free everyone should just call it good and turn their attentions on the white walkers everyone seems to be ignoring?
Speaking of which. . .that mob of white walkers was marching on the wall and what? They decided to just camp for a year or two because it isn't the right time? Baffling really.

Great point about the WWs. We're 3 eps into S4 and nothing... Ever since Sam (aka Fat Night Watch Kid) killed one in S3E8 have we seen one?
-
This one was a little slower overall, but I honestly can't think of an episode I haven't enjoyed. Arya and the Hound continues to be a great storyline. It's also refreshing to see Tommen not be a compete dick, though who knows what he'll do at the behest of his advisors.
The Jaime rape/incest scene though. :sdeek: What the hell was that?
The guy from Dorn? Is pretty awesome. That was a good scene with Tywin.
And Sansa just can't catch a break. Remind me though, with House Stark basically dead, what is Little Finger's interest in her?
-

The Stark PEOPLE might be dead, but their lands, the remnants of Winterfell, and their banner men are all there for the taking once a rightful claim is presented. Sansa (and her husband) would appear to be a the front of the line right now.

Plus he is super creepy

Nope. And they just kind of brushed on the fact that everyone thinks Sam is lying. Maybe they'll encounter the WWs when they go to kill the people north of the wall they were talking about? As someone who watches Walking Dead, that horde or White Walkers would be all over Castle Black by now.

So Little Finger framed Tyrion so he could marry Sansa and be the new leader of the north? Doesn't one of the remaining boys have more claim to leading the north than Sansa's husband?

Littlefinger was in love with Sansa's mother, and Sansa reminds him of Catelyn...but I'm not sure that they are going to let him get as creepy in that regard in the show.

Everyone thinks all the Stark boys are dead, therefore Sansa is the next in line.
-
Based on the fact that they killed all of Robert's bastards because they could claim the throne, could Jon Snow claim leadership of Winterfell if he was released of his obligations to the wall?

I'm not sure if everyone watches the opening credits. . .since it seems to get longer every episode. . .but I quite enjoy that when they show Winterfell it is smoking due to being on fire. Nice touch IMO.
I really want to start liking Jaime. Besides him crippling a little boy in the first episode I've really liked his character development. Last night when he raped Cersei. . .I almost was ok with it because I hate Cersei so much. I can't wrap my head around how anyone thinks that Tyrion committed the crime. Cersei is just a dumb bitch and needs to shut her whore mouth.

We're going to ignore the fact that you said you might be okay with rape because you like one character and hate another and focus on your reliance on sexually demeaning language to articulate your distaste for a powerful female character. From your post, the only thing that I take away is that you hate women.

Must clarify. Not ok with rape. I'm also not ok with murder. But, I did enjoy when Arya stabbed that guy in the throat? :dunno:

Must clarify. Not ok with rape. I'm also not ok with murder. But, I did enjoy when Arya stabbed that guy in the throat? :dunno:
So, we're just going to ignore the abhorrently misogynistic tone of your post then?
I may need clarification. I don't see that tone in there?

getting back to where in the world are the white walkers, the end of season 2 when they are walking past Sam, that is not the Wall in the distance. that is the Fist of the First Men, where all the men of the night's watch were camping. then there was a great big slaughter that was not depicted in the show, and the aftermath was that there are only ~100 men left to guard the entire Wall. after the battle on the Fist, the white walkers have not been seen

I apologize. . .I used that language due to my anger at her accusing Tyrion. I never should have said those things because they look bad on me and on the board. It was never my intention to harm this boards glowing reputation. I put my fate as an up and coming bbs enthusiast in the hands of the powers that be and hope only that they judge me as I deserve. It is with great regret and a heavy heart that I have offended you Mh. I hope you can forgive me.

The Cercei/Jamie scene was weird as eff. I really hope they didn't intend it to be that rape-y but it definitely came out that way. It was somewhat accurate to the books (in the sept, dead Joffrey right there) but in the books it happens right when Jamie gets back to KL and Cersei is all they killed our son, you're back, avenge him, kiss me, no not here, oh, ok. I think they where trying to give that impression but the mixed up timeline made it come off as rape.
It really pissed me off since Jamie's character is becoming likable at this point in both the books and the show. This scene in the books makes you realize Jamie loves her more than she does him and you start to feel a little bad for him too. This portrayal makes you feel a little bad for Cersei even though she's well on her way to psychopath town.

I'm more or less bored AF in a car on my way back to MHK from Denver. It's whatever. There are other ways to articulate your feelings about Cersei. Everything she does is for herself or her children, like most parents I know, but she never considers the impact her decisions might have upon those outside of that circle.

As someone who hasn't read the books I have entertained the idea she might have poisoned Joff to hold on to control of the throne? It was even more telling that Tyrion completely ruled her out. . .which somehow raises my suspicion of her even more. I think Lena Headey has done such a good job with her that like Jack Gleeson I despise the character.

I think I'm rooting for the cannibal wildlings. Man those guys are something else.
-
huge dumbass alert:
what's going on with the wildlings that climbed over the wall? looks like there are a couple different, unrelated types. the cannibals and the others. both groups climbed up and over the wall and are now terrorizing the villagers south of the wall? so, they had to bypass castle black to get to the villagers, no? why didn't they just go attack castle black? The goal is to neutralize CB so that the rest of their armies can pass through the wall, no? So, what are they doing rough ridin' with the villages south of castle black?
Also, what was Snow's gameplan at the end? I missed that. They're going to meet the cannibals in the field to defeat them before they come for them at CB? What's going on here?
-
from my understanding the cannibal wildlings are the Thenns.
Mance Rayder, The King Beyond the Wall, sent out a group to climb the wall, do some scouting and to act as a diversion for the approaching massive army.
Jon Snow wants to go kill the group of Crows that deserted, as they know things that would be beneficial to Mance's approaching force.
-
They mention it in the show, the wildlings are raiding villages to piss off the Watch and draw them out into open combat, rather than trying to siege a fortified castle.

yeah, that's why they sent the kid to the wall. trying to draw them out.

I know the whole point will be that the rest of Westeros will be distracted and divided, but I can't help but think any army south of the wall could crush the wildlings.

They aren't invading because they can win, they're invading because they're running away from something worse.

Wowza. So after Mance Rayder gets his army south of the wall they will go into hiding? Or are we expecting them to send commissaries to ask for other forces to join them against the walking dead?

When you're running from the bear, you aren't looking around for a nice place with cable TV, just some place with no bear.

He wants the civilians inside the wall and safe(er). I imagine the plan after that was to dig in and reach some sort of bargained for agreement whereby the wildings are allowed to remain south of the wall. Failing that they fight to stay south of the wall. They were always going to be mumped if anyone other than the night's watch decided to get involved. The wall and its castles aren't designed to defend from the south. It's better than the alternative though.

I think Cersei and Jaime have a sort of power struggle rapey vibe kind of relationship anyway; so I'm not so sure this was out of the ordinary for them -- well maybe the doing it right next to their dead son part was unusual.

They asked GRRM about it, he didn't seem to have a problem with it... in the books that meeting in the sept is ther first time they've seen each other since Jaime returns to KL, in their shared grief they bang one out next to Joff's remains. Since in the show hes been back a while, it wouldn't really make sense, so they had to change up the scene..... and I guess it got a little rapey.

This portrayal makes you feel a little bad for Cersei even though she's well on her way to psychopath town.
Pretty much what I got out of it. I didn't see it as all that rapey, just messed up and gross all around. It might be due to the fact that I've been desensitized to rape from the numerous brutal rapes that I've seen while watching this show. Jamie and Cersei doing their best Targaryen impression didn't really compete.
-
I think our love for Tyrion blinds us to how weird the rest of the Lannisters are
Haha, no. There is hope for Tommen (who with Jeff and their sis, I consider to be Lannisters). Tyrion is great. Jamie has some very redeeming qualities, but he's still weird AF. Cersei and Tywin are completely despicable bad people. Any positives in their makeup is almost negligible. They're great characters though.
-
What about Stannis? Dude doesn't really live up to his horrid reputation imo. Not so far anyway. I mean he's pretty keen on following his succubus's advice, but other than that I haven't seen the monster that he was rumored to be.

Stannis isn't a monster, just very stoic and cold. Does what needs to be done, but isn't brutal.

I'm just happy to be caught up, so I can read and post in this thread. I've debated buying the books, but decided to read The Accursed Kings series, which GRRM said was a major influence, instead. I still may pull the trigger on the F&I/GOT books.

The last scene made me think... In all of the zombie movies or shows ever made, has there been a baby or child zombie? Because that is pretty much what happened. And that raises a lot of questions, mainly how do they grow?

The Walking Dead had a child zombie getting brained in the very opening scene of its first episode. It had another child zombie in season 2.

It seems like a really dumb added storyline. Like making a lot of people say really dumb things. Like oh man we can totally sneak one by on former NW member Mance Rayder as long as these guys don't tell him anything. And I think my little bro who I thought was dead but evidently is alive, which must have been a major revolution and would have been great tv but wasn't shown at all, will go running to some wildlings for help.

@joda, have you read the books?
Yes. I have other issues with those scenes from a book to TV sense. But I'm alright with those. What bothered me is that is that it wasn't a very well thought out plot line.
I'm speculating that a certain mysterious character from the books, who has yet to appear in the show, is going to show up at Craster's Keep before Jon gets a chance to see Bran. I don't see another option without completely veering off from the story line.
I'm interested to see what they are doing with Locke. The book character he is largely based on (Vargo Hoat) never made it north of Harrenhal and I can't think of another role that they would be combining it with.

I don't even remember half the stuff from the books any more, and I'm not even sure I'm going to pick them up again in 5 years when he finishes the first one. George RR Martin can eff off.

Maybe, I thought they where probably just going to leave said mysterious character out altogether but yea, that might work. Even if they do it's still a poorly done plot line. Not necessarily the concept, but the way it's being done is pretty terrible. Maybe I'm just jaded though because of how horribly they handled the Jon/Sam/Bran dynamic.

That certain character has not been cast yet, so it would be surprising if they showed up (however a certain "friend" of that character has been cast, so maybe...)

So apparently the White Walker storyline has already advanced farther than the books. It will be nice when more of that happens. Still think it was super mean to abandon and then kill that baby, though. This show has a real baby killing problem. Otherwise it's awesome.

Did the baby die, or did it morph into a WW? Seems to be a difference...

This show kills a lot of babies, but this wasn't one of them. I have no doubt this baby will have a better life with the WWs than those murdery raperly pervos.

I don't know, if I were the baby I think I'd opt for the murdery rapey pervos. Seems like a quick death would be better than becoming an ice zombie. Besides, Jon Snow is about to kick some rapey ass, I think.

Hey @joda, I'm not going to PM =Mods?= and RowdyBoyy to ban you from this thread just yet, but good grief. If you find yourself posting in this thread and you think about typing the word "book" in any way, or if you think about mentioning someone who hasn't appeared in the TV show, just don't post. No one in this thread wants to read about what's happening in the books. Zip it. #Team #Clams
In other news, if any of you have long commutes or do a lot of dishes, there's a podcast called Cast of Thrones that is decent. It does a good job of not spoiling anything (unlike Known Ruiner of Fun Joda) and is mildly entertaining. It's PG-13, though, so don't listen to it around the little ones.

Its why they are dispatched in groups. A single Unsullied might be slender and have a beautiful singing voice, and match poorly in a 1:1 fight, a group of them fighting in a disciplined fashion is far more formidable than a collection of brawlers.

the tyrell ladies are incredibly smart. tommen is ~12 in the tv universe. also, refer to her as the queen of thornes or lady olenna.

I don't think Marg was seducing Tommen per se. She was just manipulating a 12 year old boy. She only kissed him on the forehead. More like a big sister that he might be a little bit attracted to.....

I anticipate Marg being nothing but a tease to Tommen. This show has more class than to show a young woman actually performing sex acts with an adolescent boy.

I understand that not every episode is action-packed and some have to lay the foundation for more exciting episodes. This seemed to be the latter. It was important for the future of the series, but at the moment it just left me feeling meh.
Also, the past few weeks have had pretty intense endings/cliffhangers. Seeing Craster's Keep go up in flames was not the same as watching a baby turning into a WW or Khaleesi launching 1000s of slave collars to start a rebellion.
The preview for next week looks pretty entertaining, tho! :excited:

Jon would prevent him from finding the three eyed raven, which is Bran's purpose. Bran has to continue north.

Seemed pretty significant that it was revealed baelish was behind poisoning jon arryn at the beginning of the series, since that is the reason for everything that has happened so far.

Probably the most significant moment of the episode

Fantastic episode. The scenes with Brianne and the squire were awesome. Cersei and Marg was awesome. You know Cersei's too crazy to just fold like that. Crazy Aunt Liza was awesome. Just when you think she's not totally crazy, wham, that chick is crazy. And she and Little Finger conspired to set the whole sequence in motion? Awesome. Aria and the Hound? Best interactions yet. Jon Snow kicking ass. Also starting to learn more about the Iron Bank.
This episode moved a lot of plot lines forward in interesting ways. Great episode and I don't think it even featured a single spoken word by Jaime or Tyrion. All the more amazing. No dead babies is also a plus.

Agreed. Seems like a waste of a pretty good character and plot line, but oh well, Bran continues in his quest, which is probably the least interesting story line but at least they're not spending much time on it. Ultimately, I'm assuming his story line is going to intersect with the WWs in an interesting way.
-
Bran's storyline is a complete snoozefest and then a total LOLWTF why are the books getting more complicated instead of starting to get wrapped up type moment thing

This is the non-book thread. The show isn't wasting much time on it. Ultimately, I think it will be pretty interesting. I suspect the WWs might be sending Bran and the others the visions, for good or bad.

same thing with this work of fiction, but not comparable to addition.

My point is, speculation, when the answer exists, is a waste.
Speculate all you want about events, fictional and IRL, that have not taken place yet. That's fine. I participate in that activity myself.

The fact is, the answers to these questions that are being asked are out there, but some would rather grasp at straws than actually obtain the answer.
Nothing has been done to refute my claims that you TV show only people are lazy and irrational.
I believe the entertainment from a work of fiction comes from experiencing it, just like most life things. It's not a math problem, or any kind of problem.

that's fine but the reality is that there's a lot of us on the board that just don't know how to read. live your life, take things for granted, but never assume that I nor anyone else here can read because that's just complete bullshit of a thing to do.
oh yeah, also I'm illiterate. Thanks for making me feel like crap about it, MH.

can he warg fish? they would never have to worry about food, he could just warg a fish and have it jump up onto shore and they can chow down

Is there a rule to warging that he has to be a certain distance from the thing he's warging? It seems like kind of a ridiculously powerful skill without a lot of rules.

You're describing a show watcher who takes the product at face value and then drops it until the next episode. An information problem appears once the show watcher starts to ask questions about plot points. Normally, this information problem would exist until a future episode is aired that resolves the issue, but, in this case, the information is already published and readily available for consumption.
I wouldn't criticize anyone for keeping these questions to themselves, as then it is their own personal mystery to solve. I get frustrated when show watchers want to make their musings public and then expect not to get an answer. What's the purpose of asking a question if you don't want the answer?

The show changes things. Some missing characters, some new characters, some things happening at different times or happening differently altogether.

To me what you're talking about is like someone who watches replays of Cats games on ESPN3 because they are unable to watch the games live. They could easily search for articles on the web or watch a highlight show to know the answer. Your beef would come from said person deciding to go on twitter or some other social media platform and speculate about "hoping the Cats will win" or "hoping Jamar can go with his gimpy ankle," but not wanting people to tell them what happened in the game.
Love the new avi, BTW.

But your metaphor doesn't really work because this is clearly the "Show" thread, where people assume nobody is going to tell them all the answers because they read the book first. That said, I hope metalhead stays because it makes this more entertaining.

disclaimer for BOOK people: It is perfectly acceptable to talk about the past and how stuff that has already happens is different from the books. It is very interesting and fun. Just don't extend that into future implications to stuff we dont know about from our show data set.
I, too, would like to thanks MH for this interesting combo season argument.
-
it's like the book shitheads are addicted to talking about the books.
-
Back story already glossed over is fine. Good old gods, if I have to explain what a spoiler is, there is truly no hope.
-
Is there a rule to warging that he has to be a certain distance from the thing he's warging? It seems like kind of a ridiculously powerful skill without a lot of rules.
The book goes into some exposition (show only people, is bringing up back story glossed over by the show, in order to better explain current events allowed?) on the rules of warging, so to speak. Some animals are harder to warg with than others, animals with an existing dominance/submission pecking order (wolves/dogs/people[simpletons]) are easier to warg and the more a person wargs with an animal the more connected they are and easier it is for the warg to control the animal. There are times in the books that great distances separate the warg from its animal, but its always with an animal with whom the warg has an existing relationship.
So to answer your question, they can't take over a dragon on the other side of the narrow sea that they've never met and totally burn everything to the ground, just because..... or can they? :runaway:
this isn't backstory glossed over

This thread irritates me.
intolerance
Yea, I guess I'm intolerant of stupidity. "Hey, there's this really cool story that I'm interested in. I would really like to know more about everything that is going on. I'm pretty sure there's a whole series of books out there that would fulfill my desires, but I'm going to get on the internet and speculate about what it going on, rather than reading the information and getting the answers that I seek."
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ OK! There I said it.
-
This whole idea that people should read the books to find out what happens is just ludicrous. I read them because they are fun, easy reads that provide dozens of hours of entertainment. If you don't like fiction, then by no means should you read these books. They are very long.
-
Just watched the show tonight so I've been avoiding the thread. . and man I missed an important discussion.
MH: I have started book 1 and I would like to read through the entire series. . .but for now I don't want to skip ahead to the current book because I'd miss how GRRM develops his characters. I also like for things to be a surprise instead of just finding out right away. The anticipation of what will happen at the conclusion of a storyline is what gets me so excited every week. If I knew a character I loved was going to be fine I wouldn't feel the worry and be as into the show. That being said, I also like to discuss with like minded people what we think might happen next. That's always a lot of fun. It would be like you and your book buddies speculating about what would happen in the next book.
I'm not sure why that seems so strange to anyone? Anyways.. . I agree it was crazy that Peter admitted to killing the old hand of the king.
Speaking of which. . .it is a lot easier for people on this board to forget names because we don't read them as often.

He is very intriguing. . .but I wish we knew more about him. I can't help but feel that the story line has been pretty drug out this season.

well, the entire show is basically cliff notes of the books. It's just what's going to happen when you condense 1000 pages of text to 12 hours of video.

point of clarification since Rusty the Falseist seems to want to lie so much.
it's actually 4,273 pages and a total of 40 hours (through season 4) of tv, which would equate to 106.8 pages per hour of television. also, not sure why he's referring to "video" :confused: are we watching it on a vcr? :confused:

Sansa will kill him or have him killed. IMO she's going to learn rad things from him and will become much more likeable in the next book.

I hope so. She's the only stark kid that I don't care about. (Where's the youngest boy at??????!)
He's with Osha (the Wilding).
yeah, i just wondered why they have not shown them at all in at least a full season's worth of episodes. makes me think they have been kidnapped or something.

Isn't Brienne on her way to find Sansa? I could see her taking him out.
Someone important is going to fall through that damn hole in the floor. Order of likeliness:
1. Petyr
2. The squire
3. Creepy Boy
4. Lyza
5. Brienne
6. Sansa
Note: I'm rooting for the Creepy Boy to fall the most and Brienne to fall the least.

IGAF about Rickon, but I found Shaggydog to be the most badass of all the Stark direwolves. I mean that guy is not to be effed with. Huge nuts.

The creepy boy is very valuable. He's John Arryn's only son and therefore sole heir to the Lord of the Eyrie, Defender of the Vale, and Warden of the East.

Yes, yes. He is Jon Arryn's heir and all of those other things now. Point being he is a very valuable commodity in the game.

He's basically the weakest most sickly, frail, dependent character in the show/books whose mother is crazytown in love with LF. I'd say LF is more than capable of pulling that off. They're both just chips to him obviously. The guy is amazing at the game.
-
Petyr didn't admit to it, his coconspirator started blabbing about it with him around, he even tried to quickly change the subject.
For the record, Littlefinger is my favorite character.
He is very intriguing. . .but I wish we knew more about him. I can't help but feel that the story line has been pretty drug out this season. A lot happens in the episodes. . .but then you realize that the story line only moved forward like a centimeter. . .whereas the first few seasons moved ahead at what seemed a break neck pace.
Yeah I think that's right, but I guess they are also having to write new stuff now instead of just portray what was already portrayed in the books. I kinda hope it speeds up. Last episode had me all like, "meh".
-
Now THAT was one hell of an episode! Prediction: Tywin will make Tyrion and Jaime fight to the death, and Jaime will die because everyone who is too close to Cersei dies.
Also, Sansa will throw Liza into the hole.

Good call. In this scenario, what happens to Tyrion if the Mountain wins?

the accused is executed if his champion loses the fight (dies), so the potential for four lives to be lost is there, instead of just two.

Finally caught up on the show --
Few options for the upcoming trial by combat:
- Oberyn wins: Tyrion is free, but probably has to leave Kings Landing.
- Mountain wins: Tyrion is sentenced to death. Probably escapes Kings Landing beforehand with Jamie's help.
- Oberyn and Mountain kill eachother: Retrial by combat? Probably escapes Kings Landing beforehand with Jamie's help.

This is why I hate these threads. This is such a profoundly dumb gripe, but I can't even delve into because I'll spoil stuff.
This is the third actor to play the role since the series started. I can't imagine the logistical challenges in casting someone to play a character of that physical stature. Sure, they could have done somethings in makeup, put a helm on him or done some computer editing, but overall this is just a weird rough ridin' stance to take.

should have grown out a massive beard. and who the mountain is has been clearly explained in the show, clams is outliering here.
the mountain appears so rarely anyhow that the constant recasting is barely an issue.

Arya and The Hound just discussed him in the previous episode.

Maybe they put some old-people makeup on the guy to make him look older :dunno:

The Hound should look about 20 years older. That's a side effect of having half of your face burnt off. You look older.

Gregor is approximately 35 years old at this point in the story, Sandor is about five years his junior.
Hafthor, the actor currently playing Gregor, was born in 1988. Rory McCann, Sandor, was born in 1969.

glad they got back to the round head, widows peak vs the long head, strait hairline. much more true to the books, IMO
-
I like how Tyrion got to basically go through the whole trial, realize he had no chance, and then got to decide "well, forget all this, I'd rather have Trial By Combat." I would think that the Westeros Rules of Criminal Procedure would make you decide that before trial.
Also, Tyrion totally played the Imp card.

The whole "trial by combat" thing is pretty stupid. If it's obvious you're guilty why wouldn't you do that everytime? Why would the "government" allow a person who is most likely guilty to kill someone in order to be set free?

Because people are barbaric and would rather see a fight. Also, if I'm pretty sure the person on trial can only request a trial by combat. That doesn't mean it has to be granted. Can one of the book nerds weigh in here?

I don't know all the ins and outs of it, but they view trial by combat as letting the gods decide things. You would have to be pretty influential to ever find a champion willing to fight for you, and if you don't find a champion, you are stuck fighting the best fighter in the king's army in full armor. If you don't have a suit of armor handy, I don't think you are given one. I really think your odds of living through a sham trial would be a lot better than the trial by combat route in almost every instance. They often let murderers take the black rather than face execution.

Because some are fine with the wall. Also you've got to have someone good. Tyrion knows oberon wants to eff over the lannisters
-

At this point, Tyrion's probably thinking he can get Bronn to fight for him again. Oberyn will be the backup plan when Bronn can't/won't.
-
I liked when the dragon flame-broiled the goat.
Medieval episode of Law And Order was also pretty funny to watch.
Also Lord Varys was kind of a bitch in this episode. I thought he was conniving but supposed to be kind of a good guy in the show.
-
Tyrion is all like "Hey remember you were all psyched about me saving the city and said that I was awesome and stuff, did you forget that?"
And Lord Varys is all like "Unfortunately I don't forget anything, guy."

Not entirely true. I can appreciate a scene filled with dialogue, but sometimes they can get a little dry. And sometimes you have to see the action to have the context of a previous scene's conversation make sense.
I'm not sure if I'll ever go back and watch this series from start to finish again, but I'm sure if I did the earlier episodes would make a lot more sense due to the fact I know how they'll later impact the show. This happens a lot while watching movies, but it's much easier to rewatch a 2 hour movie than what will be a 60+ hour long series by the time it's done.

I'm pushing your buttons. The show, and the books even more so, are a gigantic time investment. I'm quite fond of this series but I doubt there will ever be a point in time where I consider rereading them.

And Lord Varys is all like "Unfortunately I don't forget anything, guy."
WHAT KIND OF ANSWER IS THAT???
Operates on a few levels.
First, unfortunately for Tyrion, Varys didn't forget the bad stuff Tyrion said about Joffrey.
Second, also unfortunately for Tyrion, Varys doesn't forget all he's learned about "playing the game" and his overall awareness of everything that's going on everywhere in the GoT world. Which means that he knows this is the play he needs to make at this point, for his own purposes. Also, he'd like to be able to forget some of the screwed-up crap that he's aware of, but that's kinda his line of work now, so.
Third, unfortunately for Varys, he of course remembers what he told Tyrion and knows he's screwing him over and feels kinda bad about it, and also knows he won't be able to forget feeling bad about it. (But still, better to be able to feel bad about that than not being able to feel anything because your head is no longer attached to the rest of your body. YOLO.)

Shae is going to redeem herself. Cersei obviously ran her down (what happened to Bronn?) and she's doing what she needs to do to live. Tyrion still loves her and threw in the whore insult at the end of the trial for her protection. The two will live happily ever after.

The oberyn tyrion scene was a tear jerker
-
So I'm all geeked up because of the "trial by combat" and all that. This epi is all over the place. We get a little Daenerys, some Stannis business, and bits all over the map. A great little dialogue between Brienne, Podrick and especially Hot Pie. You think that Tyrion and Oberyn have a end-of-the-epi worthy scene, but then they throw in the incredibleness 'round the moon door at the end.
I love this goddamn show.
-
Epic episode. Was curious why they cut away from that scene where Dany was being all dominatrix? Did she sign something saying she wouldn't be nude the rest of the series?

Baelish is a master at manipulation -- odds are the only reason for the Sansa kiss was that he knew that Lysa would be watching, and he could get them both alone by the moon door. Now, he's Lord of Harrenhall, Protector of the Vale, and working towards Protector of Winterfell.

Is Littlefinger now the protector of the vale and all that? Or is the boy still that title? I'm just curious how that titling will work. The preview for next week makes it seem like Sansa is going to tattle. . .so I wonder if Peter kills the boy too.

Robin is still Lord of the Eyrie....but I think Peter is like his regent now with the title of Lord Protector of the Vale...unless he gets convicted of killing Lysa.
-
could they frame Robin for the murder? what would happen then?

If Robin were killed (as punishment for the murder) then the Lordship would have to pass to some other relative...Jon Arryn didn't have any other sons so they would have to go back to his siblings (if he has any?) and their kids...I think.

I could see that Peter might have thought he could just lie and say it was an accident or that he was saving Sansa, Sansa would back it up with her eye witness account, then he would tell Robin what to do. I'd be surprised if he offs Robin because then he would have to worry about an adult.

Does he need to get rid of robin to clear his way to sansa tho

Unless there's something they haven't talked about yet in the show, there's not a reason for Baelish to kill off Robin Arryn.
Baelish is now the Lord Protector of the Vale until Robin comes of age, so he's in control for the forseeable future.
The assumption is that the north will rally around the Starks when the time comes, so as long as he holds on to Sansa, he'd have control over Winterfell as well.
He has control of 2/7 kingdoms now (Harrenhall, the Eyrie), with eventual plans on the third (Winterfell). He's got to be playing the long game, but I can't see what he would go for after Winterfell, maybe Riverrun?

Harrenhal is not one of the seven kingdoms. The kingdoms, and their seats, are as follows: The North, Winterfell; The Iron Islands, Pyke; The Riverlands (Harrenhal is located here), Riverrun; The Vale, the Eyrie; The Westerlands, Casterly Rock; The Reach, Highgarden; The Stormlands, Storm's End.
Dorne was added as the eight kingdom sometime later. The region where King's Landing is locatede is referred to as the Crownlands.

Wasn't Harrenhall (despite being a crumbing castle) given control of the Riverlands after Riverrun rebelled with the North? Or did the Lannisters give it to Walder Frey?

Ok. . . .So he would potentially control The North, The Riverlands, and The Vale? He is going about this much smarter than Rob. I just googled a map of Westeros. . .man the North is a huge chunk of it. I feel like knowing that shifts how powerful Winterfell should be. . and how sad it is that i is no longer controlled by the Starks. What is the viable next move then? The Iron Islands are about to be messed up by Reek causing trouble.
-
The only stable kingdom right now is The Reach. All of the others are in varying states of disarray.
Harrenhal became "the seat" of the Riverlands after it was given to Petyr by Joffrey. House Tully did not go the way of House Reyne. The curse of Harren the Black ought to right things sometime in the future. *not a spoiler of any sort*

Yeah, but no one wants to live in the North because it is so cold and because that's the first place that Wildlings (and Wights) attack when they come south of the Wall.

Actually, Dorne is one of the seven kingdoms. The Iron Islands combined with the Riverlands as "The Kingdom of the Isles and Rivers" when the Iron Borne conquered the Riverlands before the Targaryens showed up and took over. So the Seven Kingdoms weren't the Seven Kingdoms until Dorne was brought into the realm with the marriage between the Martells and Targaryens brought it in diplomatically.

Hafthor is by far the most physically able to portray the character and will look the most natural swinging a giant claymore around. The Mountain is supposed to be giant and freakishly athletic and he will nail both of those aspects. Conan probably had a better face and demeanor but that is much less important than the physicality of the role. Idk WTF they were thinking with that twit in the second season, just awful.

I know the backstory. Thanks for linking me the wiki article that I've read before. The title "Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms" existed, from my understanding, since Aegon I was anointed in Oldtown. There are several logical conclusions we can reach from this, either Aegon I or the High Septon couldn't count, Aegon I didn't care that he hadn't conquered Dorne but was going to claim that he ruled the Dornish anyway, or, the most likely possibility, he counted the Iron Islands and the Riverlands as separate kingdoms.
It's possible that Aegon I had enough hubris to completely ignore his failure to conquer Dorne, but I feel like the most likely possibility is the last explanation I offered. Either way, Dorne was the eighth kingdom added to the realm. Source: rough ridin' math.

I thought the first season's Gregor was the best, the mountain doesn't need to be freakishly large by our standards, just by medieval standards.
Also, the Twins are now the seat of the Riverlands now, as a reward for Frey's loyalty to the crown.

Championing for Tyrion seems to be Oberyn's role on the show. It makes sense for him to die now.

Good call. In this scenario, what happens to Tyrion if the Mountain wins?
Finally caught up on the show --
Few options for the upcoming trial by combat:
- Oberyn wins: Tyrion is free, but probably has to leave Kings Landing.
- Mountain wins: Tyrion is sentenced to death. Probably escapes Kings Landing beforehand with Jamie's help.
- Oberyn and Mountain kill eachother: Retrial by combat? Probably escapes Kings Landing beforehand with Jamie's help.

Good call. In this scenario, what happens to Tyrion if the Mountain wins?
Finally caught up on the show --
Few options for the upcoming trial by combat:
- Oberyn wins: Tyrion is free, but probably has to leave Kings Landing.
- Mountain wins: Tyrion is sentenced to death. Probably escapes Kings Landing beforehand with Jamie's help.
- Oberyn and Mountain kill eachother: Retrial by combat? Probably escapes Kings Landing beforehand with Jamie's help.

Those screams were just horrible. My god.

Traumatized again. Thanks GoT

So, even though the Mountain is probably dead too, because his kill was first and definitive, he gets the win?
Also, we probably get the 102 vs 100, 000 fight at the wall next episode! :excited:
-
So.......... yeah..........

I, um..... yeah. I don't know what to say.

Medicine seems to be pretty advanced in Westeros. His wounds will heal and he'll be back to raping/slaughtering in no time.

Is it too late for Tyrion to say "Hey, you know what? How about I take the black instead?", or have we already crossed that bridge?

Guys that was brutal. Pretty disgusting really

Man, talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. What a disappointing end to an otherwise great episode. Lots of LOL moments. The look on the Hound's face. Oberin drinking before the fight.

personally disappointing, because i loved the oberyn character and actor. but better TV, because there is no way i would have got such an extreme emotional and visceral reaction to oberyn just killing him like i thought was happening.
-
TBH, I had no doubt that the Mountain would win because I expect the opposite of what I want or what would normally happen in a show to happen.

agreed, you also knew something was coming, he tore through the mountain dude too easily

The amount of pressure you could apply seems very contingent on body weight and hand size.

That episode sums up the show pretty well. Bunch of boring talking, then 2 minutes of the episode is something crazy happening. Everyone talks about the crazy thing that happened, no one discusses all the boring talking that happened.

Hey how about all that talking guys? I thought the talking was really well done in this episode.

Sansa was great. She really took my by surprise. Sophie Turner may just save that character yet.

pretty great dialogue from Dolorous Edd (the sourpuss guy on the Wall) per uge (uzhe? uje? i'm trying to shorten "usual")
also pretty important scene with Jorah Mormont leaving Dany (I WONDER WHERE JORAH IS GOING TO GO YOU GUYS)
the Grey Worm / Missandei thing is pretty dumb, could deal without
i loved the 17 minute beetle smashing story, Tyrion :dubious:
The Theon/Reek stuff is fantastic.
Boltons! :curse:

It was supposed to be an eloquent way of saying some people just kill things and there is no reason it's just in their nature, or something, but it came off as kind of a dumb long story.

It's going to end with Missandei figuring out, one way or another, how much of his "manhood" Grey Worm is left with. It's stupid.

The dialogue and exposition in this show is mostly awesome. It's often better and more interesting than the action - though the fight last night was really well done. Probably the only dialogue I find annoying us the red witch or whatever she's called.
Walking Dead follows a similar action:exposition ratio, except the exposition is boring and lame, which is why that show sucks. Without good dialogue, the fighting in GoT would get boring and repetitive, just like Walking Dead.
-
Yeah if you don't like the (extremely well-crafted) dialogue you really might as well not watch, because it's admittedly 90% of the show.

Caught up in the entirety of GoT in about 2 weeks.
Not bad, but glad I am watching for free.

Tyrion and The Mountain = suspenseful M-Sat (less for me).
The Mountain isn't so much suspenseful out of care for his lame ass (sorry to MH, Oberyn is much more interesting imo).

The allegory was nice, but I just enjoyed the brotherly memories/ conversation so near a presumable death.

Sansa is definitely worst to near first in my book.

How is that a character flaw on Dany's part? She just found out that her most trusted advisor was once a spy. If anything, her character flaw was not ending Jorah's throat.

She's supposed to be a queen. She's supposed to use reason and mercy, use a little empathy. Jorah may have started out as a spy for Varys, but he didn't know her at that point. He's done nothing but support her for the longest time and also swore fealty to her. Out of all Daenerys' advisors, Jorah is the most trustworthy despite being a former spy. That's the rub.
It's true that she did show some restraint by not killing him instantly as she'd done so many times, but that's only a slight improvement to her black/ white line of thought when it comes to most situations.

She showed a lot of restraint by not killing him. He probably caused the death of her child because Varys/Tywin probably sent that witch lady who "cursed" her child. And then almost caused her death with that poisoned wine.
Yeah, it's only hurting her in the end because it had Tywin's intended consequence of removing her adviser from her, but can you really blame her?
-
Varys is pro-Targ in all respects. He is not bros with Tywin. Mirri Maz Duur was operating of her own accord. Bad crap happens unrelated to the Game occassionally imo. None of this is spoilers btw it's opinion.

Exactly. He controlled what if any info got through and to whom. Also gives him the appearance of always having been on the side on anti-Targ, particularly for the late King Robert who despised them all.
Plus maybe you're forgetting he is best bros with Illyrio. Illyrio was Dany's benefactor and also the one who introduced Jora to her and arranged her wedding to Drogo. All according to he and Varys' plans. Total control. Only LF rivals Varys in playing the Game imo.
Illyrio visited KL to see Varys and scheme in season one iirc.

You've read the books (AFAIK), so you may actually know these things, but I feel like that is grasping. He was loyal to her, for the most part, before he got his pardon, and completely loyal after.
To put it succinctly, despite the wrongs he's done to her, he's done right by her more than anyone else has.
-
No way Varys could have known that Khal Drogo would have been cut in a fight and have a festering wound. That his a huge stretch.
Varys and Illyrio specifically schemed to get Dany married to Drogo so they could use his massive army to put a Targ back on the Iron Throne. They definitely did not want him killed. This was all stated pretty clearly when Arya was down in the tunnels under the red keep in KL and overheard them in season one.

I'm not saying that Varys had anything to do with Drogo's death, I'm saying that maybe possibly what if Mirri Maz Duur just used that whole fetus' death in exchange for Drogo living as a cover for what she was already planning to do which was kill the fetus.
Or maybe Dany just blames Jorah for the death of her child even if it really is not connected to anyone in Westeros at all and so she really just wants him out of her sight and out of her city right now because she hates him right now and can't stand to look at his face, ok??
-
The portrayal of Dany kicking Jorah to the curb comes out a little rough in the show. Especially 1 epi after the whole people change scene between them.
-
Varys is pro-Targ in all respects. He is not bros with Tywin. Mirri Maz Duur was operating of her own accord. Bad crap happens unrelated to the Game occassionally imo. None of this is spoilers btw it's opinion.
Wasn't all of Jorah's info going through Varys?
Exactly. He controlled what if any info got through and to whom. Also gives him the appearance of always having been on the side on anti-Targ, particularly for the late King Robert who despised them all.
Plus maybe you're forgetting he is best bros with Illyrio. Illyrio was Dany's benefactor and also the one who introduced Jora to her and arranged her wedding to Drogo. All according to he and Varys' plans. Total control. Only LF rivals Varys in playing the Game imo.
Illyrio visited KL to see Varys and scheme in season one iirc.
And still that guy almost killed Dany with the wine.
Manipulation, good grief Mrs. Gooch. From the show wiki:
Daenerys tries to convince Drogo to invade so their son might claim the Iron Throne, but the Dothraki do not trust ships and water their horses cannot drink. Now that Viserys is dead, Drogo does not feel inclined to honor the bargain. A wineseller attempts to poison Daenerys to fulfill Robert's orders. She is rescued by Ser Jorah and Rakharo. Following the assassination attempt, Drogo reverses his decision and swears that he will lead his forces across the Narrow Sea and seize the Seven Kingdoms in blood and fire.
Varys used the weak ass poison attempt to get Drogo back on board with the invasion. He is very good at the Game.

Mirri Maz Duur hated the rapey, conquering Dothrakis. They destroyed her village and killed/raped her friends and family and beat and almost raped her and her reprieve was to be one of their slaves. She did whatever she could to hurt them, pay them back. Dany merely provided her with the opportunity. She was not anyone's agent.
Totally unrelated to Jorah or the Game. The Dothrakis got Dany's son killed. You eff with people sometimes you get mumped with.

I was trying to remember if they showed who was talking in s1. That scene is somewhat glossed over in the show I think (don't really remember)

Good job today, Mr. Bread.
FWIW, neither Varys, Illyrio, Jorah or Rakharo are POV characters. For all we know, Jorah and/or Rakharo could have been given details about the assassination attempt.
-
I think Jorah definitely knew. He stepped in right after he gets the note from one of Varys' little birdies in the show.
The book makes it seem more obvious that he was tipped off than the show imo. He leaves to get his Illyrio letter and won't let Dany come with and then comes back out of nowhere and puts a stop to the wine.
The show kind of makes it appear he might have gotten suspicious of the wine guy prior to stepping in because he's sort of watching from afar prior to stopping it.
Still Varys is too good to just leave his investment in Dany hanging for fat drunk King Robert to crap on from across the sea. Not to mention Varys is the one tasked with putting the hit out. He would know everything about how it was communicated and to who. More control.
-
Important to note that Varys needed an obvious foiled attempt on Dany's life by King Robert and Co. Public and seen by people Drogo trusted. It wasn't just about protecting Dany, he needed Drogo insulted, enraged and ready to go to war with the West.
-
This Castle Black showdown has me pretty excited for 8pm! :woohoo:
-
I wouldn't say I'm NOT excited for tonight's episode of Game of Thrones.
-
Another solid episode. Almost felt like I was watching another show since they stayed with the same storyline the entire time.
Also, add "ride a wooly mammoth" to my bucket list! :D
-
Grenn and Pyp were not supposed to die this early. I am gutted.

I guess I'm confused what the point of this huge wall is if you're just going to build a door at the bottom of it for people to break into.

-
I guess I'm confused what the point of this huge wall is if you're just going to build a door at the bottom of it for people to break into.
It's made of ice and appears to be several hundred miles long...Wouldn't it be easier to just carve a new tunnel somewhere else? Nope! Let's scale the damn thing! :lol:

The Night's Watch used to send patrols out along the wall to watch out for that sort of thing.
-
What was up with such easy access into the Fort or whatever, but then they still try to scale the wall or go through the heaviest gate? I'm really confused as to why you don't focus at least a large part of your army at this much easier access point. Is the Fort actually on the North side of wall?

Castle Black is on the south side of the wall. Weren't you paying attention when Ygritte, Jon Snow, and that group of wildlings scaled the wall a while back and then headed south? That's so they could attack from the south as the big group was attacking from the North.
Castle Black is not heavily fortified to the south because they are expecting an attack from the north only.
-
Wow, I feel like a ruhtard. Completely decided to forget that whole scene/move. Also, never mind that they'd been ravaging the towns around Castle Black to draw the NW out. Needed this shot to the dome, thank you.

there was a really amazing camera take where it panned from the small group in the south, up past the fort and up the wall, and then ended with the view of the huge fire to the north

[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Castle Black isn't well fortified to the south because of the Night's King's and his actions. None of the fortresses on the wall have been since he was overthrown.
-
So anyways, GOT does extremely cinematic battle sequences. Like that whole thing last night was pretty great. Very effective and fun to look at.
-
Have we nerded out over the long take yet? WOWOW!!!!
-
Why isn't anyone talking about how sad it was when Ygritte died in Jon Snow's arms?
-
Why isn't anyone talking about how sad it was when Ygritte died in Jon Snow's arms?
Because that might have been the worst part of the episode. "Let's throw out all the guidelines we've used to shape the battle so far and have a heartfelt moment!"
-

Yeah, actually I think the book was more heart wrenching since they didn't even get a goodbye...but it was still sad dammit!
I had no such reaction because I was irritated by the departure from logic, but I'm clearly on the upswing of my aspie behavior right now. So it's whatever.
-
I was a little confused by the defensive strategy. The gate is a lot easier to breach from the south side, and they know there's a wildling army ready to storm the castle, so... naturally, they distribute most of their men to defend the north side of the massive wall? Seems like they should have sent everyone down to defend Castle Black except for a skeleton crew to drop the pitch barrels on the gate crashers. Maybe it was better explained in the book.
-
you book idiots just can't help yourselves from booking out in this thread. idiots.

well i'll be.

The battle scenes were really well done. I started laughing at Olly's head nod after the kill shot, which probably wasn't the reaction they were going for.
I came out of the episode a little disappointed though -- I think it was because there wasn't a huge twist at the end of the episode like the previous 2
-- Episode 7 -- Welp, episode's about over......and there goes Lysa.
-- Episode 8 -- Welp, looks like the Viper's going to win ...... and there goes his face.

I thought it was weird how they were obviously a huge tactical advantage but everyone seemed fine with putting them directly in harms way without even big giant helmets on or anything five minutes into the battle.

It's just a giant, unorganized horde of desperate individuals, most of whom have never fought in a battle before.

There was only one mammoth. I guess they didn't have enough CGI budget to make another one.

Did they just have one bolt for that massive crossbow? Seems like it would've been a pretty easy shot to take out the only mammoth since they were able to hit a running giant.

I thought it was cool they did it while he was taking a crap.
The dialogue was a little sparse. I would have thought they would have a deeper moment but instead they seemed to want to make Tywin really easy to want dead.
-
i enjoyed it. i mean, his father sentenced him to die for something that he knew he didn't do, and then he was screwing around with the woman that he loved. i enjoyed the irony of tywin being on a "throne" while he died.

I don't think that's clear yet.

-
I thought it was pretty well done - using the same crossbow that killed Roz (I know she doesn't exist in the books, but it worked).
Tywin did say something that got overlooked though -- something to the effect of: "You are my son, I wasn't going to let them take your head". I wanted to see what the plan had been, but whatever.
Also, Varys is a master at the game. One step closer to getting a Targaryan back on the throne, now with a weak king and the Lannisters crippled.

I don't think he had a plan or was even planning to save Tyrion. He was just saying that to try to not get killed.

So was Oberyn's spear poisoned when he was fighting the Mountain? There wasn't much that would have indicated it in that episode, but they were talking as if he'd been poisoned.

They cut some stuff from the books that accomplishes this. I was pretty angry about it, and thought that the scenes seemed poorly done, but it seems that you guys can live with it.

i liked how varys saved tyrion so they could be irl buds again after varys punked tyrion during the trial.

GOT is a great show, but I was really glad they did an episode like this.
I get that the show and the books, besides just being extremely well done, are ramped up a notch by the shock and counter-culture factor of killing off well-liked characters when you don't expect it. But, if you're only cutting off good guys heads it has the same effect as shows where only bad guys die; eventually you don't care.
I'm glad they gave some points to the good guys in this one, so they can resume killing off every awesome person with the shock factor intact.
-
That's the thing, it's not a good v. bad situation. It's supposed to be as close to a "real" world as possible. Everybody thinks of themselves as the good guy. If you're Cersei Lannister, all of your actions are justified. Renly, Stannis, Rob Stark, they are the bad guys from her perspective. I don't think the show accomplishes this very well, because it doesn't make for great tv. TV watchers don't want to think. They want a knight in shining armor to vanquish a terrible scourge and woo a pretty lady.

No I get that, I'm talking about how tv writers (not even necessarily the writers for this show) talk about how an audience will react. I think it's just natural, regardless of the principles of a show (in this case, no good or bad just people). I think this episode was good for the show in the long run as there probably won't be another "feel good" episode for a couple seasons.
-

Yes, and a good guy - sort of.

I think killing a kid for no good reason is a pretty good reason to consider him bad. And just because originally he was on the side of Joffery and pretty much did whatever he said. He also helped in the slaughter of Ned's household guard.
He's on Arya's list even when she is with him so she considered him bad.

Well to begin with he just wanted to get some ransom money for her, but then she kind of grew on him as they traveled together.

Yeah they bonded when Arya tried to squish his head with a rock while he was sleeping.
-
He also obviously had a soft spot for young girls (no pedo)
-
So The Hound was a bad guy?
Yes, and a good guy - sort of.
Other than the Miken incident, what made him a bad guy?
I think killing a kid for no good reason is a pretty good reason to consider him bad. And just because originally he was on the side of Joffery and pretty much did whatever he said. He also helped in the slaughter of Ned's household guard.
He's on Arya's list even when she is with him so she considered him bad.
He either had to follow his orders or get killed himself. His SOLE motivation for continuing to live is to kill his brother. He made his choices based upon that, until he semi-befriends Sansa (in his own weird way) at Kings Landing. He's a broken human being, not an evil one. Gregor, Viserys, Joff and the Boltons are the only pure evil characters in the story IMO.

I said he was sort of bad and sort of good - as are most of the characters. I didn't say he was evil. Just because your life experiences and choices led you to have to do bad things that does not mean you didn't do those bad things.

Red lady bits

Interesting. I must have missed that.
-
Stannis' army is about to get much (99K) larger, isn't it?
-
Yeah I'm guessing it's all rolling towards a stannis/khaleesi/perhaps a third player showdown for the throne. But probably not, cuz it's GOT.
-
Walder Frey is a bit of a prick too...

He didn't pick up trained and armed troops. He got a bunch of wildling hobos.

Let me be a little more clear, I specifically want to know how you feel about Tyrion murdering his father.
A man who cares only about his legacy, murdered by his own son, on the shitter, hours after hearing from his daughter that she and his favorite son have been incestual for nearly two decades, all while, despite his best efforts to the contrary, one of his greatest achievements crumbles around him.
Perfectly fitting imo.
-
This isn't some sort of trick. I want to know what the opinions are of people who didn't know it was coming.
I felt he was vulnerable, but really his death — like King's Landing in general — seems very minor to me.
-
i enjoyed it. i mean, his father sentenced him to die for something that he knew he didn't do, and then he was screwing around with the woman that he loved. i enjoyed the irony of tywin being on a "throne" while he died.
ha, didn't think of that.
-
Let me be a little more clear, I specifically want to know how you feel about Tyrion murdering his father.
I thought it was cool they did it while he was taking a crap.
The dialogue was a little sparse. I would have thought they would have a deeper moment but instead they seemed to want to make Tywin really easy to want dead.
They cut some stuff from the books that accomplishes this. I was pretty angry about it, and thought that the scenes seemed poorly done, but it seems that you guys can live with it.
I know it won't hold much water with you as someone who has experienced this story thus far from the books, but I feel sorry for you that you are able to watch this show from a cynic's perspective (at least in some respect), and not just be able to freshly and fully enjoy it for what a great show it is.
FWIW, I would probably be doing the same if I'd read the books prior.
-
That's the thing, it's not a good v. bad situation. It's supposed to be as close to a "real" world as possible. Everybody thinks of themselves as the good guy. If you're Cersei Lannister, all of your actions are justified. Renly, Stannis, Rob Stark, they are the bad guys from her perspective. I don't think the show accomplishes this very well, because it doesn't make for great tv. TV watchers don't want to think. They want a knight in shining armor to vanquish a terrible scourge and woo a pretty lady.
Stop being so pretentious.
-
So The Hound was a bad guy?
Good guy to me. Was sad to see him die. That is one of the most maddening/ entertaining thing about the show to me. People in the show often don't see or understand what I feel is the true character of the other people in their lives.
-

Yeah. Also, I don't think he's dead.

Those of you who are show only people, please give me your thoughts on Tyrion's final scenes in this episode.
Finally got around to watching it last night... The final scene with the Lannisters felt rushed. It was fitting for Tyrion to kill him though...if you're going to be convicted of murder you may as well commit the crime. Albeit, a different victim...
A couple of other thoughts...
- The Hound :bawl:
- Arya :love:
- Stannis :Ugh:
- Jon Snow :thumbs:
- Jaime/Cersei :Yuck:
- Varys :surprised:
- Dany :frown:
- Zombie skeletons :runaway:
Bran has the most boring storyline on the show, but unfortunately it appears to be one of the most important. I'm glad us show-only people get to wait a year to find out exactly what the hell is going on under that magic tree. :bang:

Yeah that's true and I hope it changes. Every time the show starts focusing on him it turns all lord of the ringy and I start to lose interest. Which is pretty annoying when everything else is pretty great.

Yep, I'd rather see them show what's going on with Rickon.
So is the Bran stuff all beyond the books at this point? They could probably just leave him out of the next season or two and allow every other story line to catch up.

I thought this finale was probably one of the top three episodes of the series. This is my favorite show on television. I get peeved when they alter things that I think shouldn't be altered. I get over it in short order. However, that scene, if done to it's full potential, could have won numerous awards for Dinklage, Dance and the production staff.
It's weird. I thoroughly enjoy the show. I am glad that someone took on the challenge of turning it into a television show. I realize that it is one of the best shows on television, at the moment, but I have high expectations because of the quality of the source material. Posting "good episode tonight," does not make for very good BBSing.

Pete has read the series, but there will only be like three other people in attendance who have read the series. I doubt he will do that.
-

I think that was a coincidence. I feel like he befriended the Stark girls because they were people that he could relate to, damaged individuals. It also fits with GRRM's "Not A True Knight" theme, which you may or may not be familiar with.

That's not in the books. They developed that to circumvent spoiling, what I assume, is a later reveal for all of us. That, or they just didn't have the CGI budget to do what they really should have done.

I think the HBO show has done an amazing job of compensating for Martin's pretty bad writing style (the dude can get super repetitive with his descriptors), and exorcised a lot of unneeded fat from the books. I honestly haven't disagreed with a decision HBO has made yet.

and moonboy, for all I know.

if my years of tv watching has taught me anything, it's that badass characters that you don't see die alot of times aren't dead later on.
-
CLAMS!
-
he's dead guys, grrm had a thing on hbo about how he's def dead and the scene was more about showing arya walk away instead of the hounds death
-
so, back to arya and the hound. somebody explain the story arch of that relationship. I'm confused why her character just left him for dead instead of putting him out of his misery. I mean, at first blush, the hound is a heartless eff face that takes helpless Arya "prisoner" for self gain. but then, the show chooses to develop their characters and their relationship over an entire season. by the end, the hound's character has developed into a likeable father figure and arya embraces him. this development culminates with her mending his neck wound 'n such.
and then, in the last episode when he's facing death, she's just like, ahh, eff off, robs him, and leaves him for dead.
I guess it just shows that the hound had successfully molded her into a survivor, devoid of any moral fortitude (i.e. robbing/killing the guy who took them in).
-
I don't even know what is going on with Rickon.
Yeah, that's an interesting aspect. Where were Rickon and Osha going again?
-
The show does a less than thorough job of getting the viewers into Aryas head. She is, and has been, basically solely focused on revenge since the butcher boy was killed and has been sliding down that slope since. Her time with the hound only steeled her in her view that the world rough ridin' sucks, that there is no safety, and that she needs to become physically able to punish fools.

Just because a guy got you a horse does not make up for the fact that he killed your friend. Arya came to respect the Hound a bit, but that doesn't mean she still didn't want revenge.

Arya has been getting a crash course in becoming a hardened killer just as Sansa is getting one in being a Machiavellian political manipulator. They've each had excellent teachers thus far and just as importantly tremendous motivation in the form of wrongs done to them and the necessity of surviving on their own. They've had little choice but to adapt. Depending on how long the story runs they both could become forces to be reckoned with.

I don't think Arya is yet to the point where she can kill out of anything but blind hate or true self-defense, therefore she didn't have the guts to kill the Hound. :th_twocents:
Wrong.
Compelling argument.
Arya specifically chose not to kill the Hound; it wasn't because she couldn't do it.

yeah but she didn't seem too bummed about it.

I'm just going off the books. Even with the benefit of a character's inner monologue, her motivations are far from clear, so it's certainly not a black/white issue, especially since Arya isn't very consistent with her actions as it is. Later, she realizes she has no monies and regrets not killing him and robbing him.
This is the show thread and in the show she took his money and specifically did not kill him.
-
I don't really understand your harping on the point of "specifically" not killing him. It is a point of fact that she chose not to kill him, no one is arguing that. What does it mean to "specifically" not kill him? Are you alluding to a specific motivation and, if so, what?

She specifically chose not to kill him, as in she made the distinct choice to not kill him. It wasn't just that she happened to not get the opportunity to kill him or that she couldn't make herself kill him. It was that she made the distinct, explicit, precise decision to leave him alive to suffer.
-
I think she liked the Hound and I'm not sure if she had it in her to stick needle through his cold hound heart.

Ok, so you're saying that it is clear that she chose to let him die more slowly and painfully out of spite?
-
Arya is basically a sociopath focused solely on revenge at this point. She's like a 10 year old 'nam vet. She definitely left him to die.
-
i get why she didn't kill him. I didn't get why she mended his neck (aka) showed compassion a few miles earlier in their journey.
I think somebody explained that she was just using him? meaning that she was just keeping him alive, using him as protection on her journey, self gain? this makes sense to me. if this is not the case, then the story was not executed properly.
-
good rough ridin' grief.

they were both using each other. they recognized similar things in each other on their journey, but they were still using each other.

i mean, yeah, they were using eachother. But that's not all they were doing. That's why their relationship was compelling. At least in the show (didn't read the books) they appeared to genuinely care for eachother. or, at least, the Hound appeared to genuinely care about Arya.

Yes, She chose to let him suffer. The thing that may have made her make that final decision might have been when he started being condescending toward her. "OK, you know where the heart is. Go on, girl."

It's not that rough ridin' hard, people. The Hound and Arya were both using each other to accomplish their goal(s). The Hound sought money and reprieve from Stark sympathizers, as he had burned his bridge with the Lannisters. Arya sought safety and revenge. Over the course of their story arch they began to relate to each other on some levels, but neither actually developed the sort of relationship that is being suggested here. Arya still said his name in her prayer every night before going to sleep and Sandor was well aware of this.
Arya chose not to kill The Hound, as she did not want to give him the satisfaction of a quick, painless death. She thought this was the appropriate form of justice. It's not that rough ridin' hard to understand. Arya wanted safety, then revenge. The Hound wanted money and clemency.

You're not wrong. you can settle down. I just assumed there was more to their relationship than ^^ given a portion of every episode was devoted to developing their story. By the end, I believed that they had developed a true care and respect for one another. This, based off of all of their interactions ove the course of the season. I guess I was just watching a different show.
-
I mean, if you've been paying attention, the whole thing about the GOT world is that, sure there are some relationships built and some political savvy required, but at the end of the day that is outweighed by the brutality of the GOT world and the practicality that it requires.
-
So, belvis, they could have developed a relationship, but at the end of the day she's still gonna leave him to die.
-
Cleaning his neck was a strategic decision to keep him alive and ensure her safety. She decided to end the mutually beneficial relationship after he was too far gone.

I think you have the right of it with respect to the story, but it does appear that in adapting the story to the show, they may have glossed over some aspects in order to make it easier for the viewing audience to understand. If in fact Arya never omits the Hound from her nightly devotional in the show, then that's a pretty clear signal to me.
-
I think they were showing their journey together more to show Arya's character development than to say that their relationship was turning in to some sort of really caring relationship.

ps, the final scene explained by the actress herself....
http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2014/06/15/maisie-williams-on-arya-stark-the-hound-and-the-game-of-thrones-finale/
How did you play her emotional state as she walked away?
I really don’t think it was spiteful. She doesn’t purposefully leave him there to die. He’s bossed her around for so long, it’s like that final straw of, “Now you take me seriously, and it’s too late.” Her whole life, she’s been desperate to prove to people what she’s capable of. Now the Hound really gets it, and it’s too late. He has almost created a monster and it’s started to backfire on him. That’s a lot for her to deal with as well. She kind of likes him! He really helped her out, and as much as it would be doing him a favor, I don’t think she wants to kill him at all. And possibly walking away is killing him. But in “Game of Thrones,” unless you’ve got a dagger in your heart, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re dead.
-

MAISIE COME ON SIS SPOILER ALERT JFC :curse:
-
Sounds like the character was pretty conflicted, then.
-
Sounds like the character was pretty conflicted, then.
yeah. and I, the viewer, was confused.
but, one thing is for sure, the story of Arya and the Hound wasn't as clear cut and obvious as many outted dumbasses on here tried to make it.
-
That's not what she said in this interview.
http://www.makinggameofthrones.com/production-diary/2014/6/15/maisie-williams-reveals-aryas-red-flags
She basically said she did purposefully leave him there to die and the thing that cinched it up was him asking for her to kill him.
-
That's an actress projecting herself into a character, not an actress understanding the source material.

She basically said she did purposefully leave him there to die and the thing that cinched it up was him asking for her to kill him.
I mean, you might as well have just pasted the relevant answer, rather than a subjective summary:
HBO: Was there any temptation on Arya's part to put the Hound out of his misery?
Maisie Williams: She almost would have – until he asked. It's like when you have an argument with someone and they go, "I'd like you to apologize." You immediately don't want to because you feel talked down to. They never saw this day coming. If anyone, it would have been Arya on the floor. She's kicking it over in her head and not quite sure what decision she's going to make until he says, "OK, you know where the heart is. Go on, girl." And that's when that sick, twisted girl we saw in Episode 1 of this season comes back again. With every cry and plea from the Hound, it almost gives her more strength to hurt him more, emotionally. He's taught her so much and she uses it against him.

I linked the whole article because there were other relavant quotes, like this one...
HBO: Arya spends the whole season with the Hound. What has he become to her?
Maisie Williams: They're not necessarily friends but I think she does look up to him. Not quite in the way she looked up to Yoren; they'll never be that close. The Hound has so many walls up and so does she, but they are looking out for each other. They both have qualities that the other needs to survive. I feel like Arya was a popular character because of the decisions she made, and this year, the audience really started to see a nicer side to the Hound too.
But, exactly to Benja's point; it's not that she wasn't conflicted but her final decision was to leave him to suffer.

In my defense, I'm usually reading articles about the Royals' mindblowing dominance on my Ipad while watching.

this. like, the guy who's been torturing greyjoy for a few seasons now. bad guy. needs killing. Cersei. needs killing. these are simple characters.
-
It was a complex relationship for sure, but I also don't think the HBO writers made it an inconsistent relationship (as was argued previously). I could fully believe that Arya would clean The Hounds neck wound and also abandon him to his own devices when pushed too far.
-
I think cersei is a bit more of a redeeming character than most seem to. I wouldn't place her in the purely evil category.

I think Cersei is a very complicated character. From her point of view, her actions are about protecting herself and her children. She doesn't do these things out of pure malevolence (except maybe her attitude toward Tyrion, but then again it's sort of justified in her mind).

I guess I just didn't see the conflict that Maise talked about. In a book, it would be more obvious why she walked away, because her thoughts, mental state, emotions are literally explained for you. In the show, you just see her blank stare as he is writhing in agony. this guy who she actually likes and who she looks up to.
in her interview, she explains that she walked away because him ordering her to kill him was the "final straw" that made her choose to walk away instead of putting him out of his misery. I guess I just didn't see this in that scene.

Cersei certainly has complex motivations, but I think her lust for power (which might trump her other motivations) is what keeps her from being redeeming. If all she wanted to do was protect her children, she would just hide behind the walls of Casterly Rock rather than trying to maintain an iron grip on the Iron Throne, because when you play the game of thrones, you either win or you die.

I think that a lot of relationships are more complex than Arya/Hound, not that there wasn't some complexity there.
Cersei/Jaime
Tywin/Tyrion
Ned/Jon Snow
Littlefinger/Catelyn
Tyrion/Shae

Arya: I'm not going to help you die. Screw you.
Hound: WTF? Just a couple of episodes ago you showed compassion by cleaning my wound that would have killed me just as painfully if it had festered!
Arya: I know, but now I hate you again. Maybe you did something off screen to make me change my mind. Whatever. Bye.
What don't you understand about the fact that she was using him, you rough ridin' dunce?
When d00d was bit, she still needed him. After she found that her aunt was dead, she realized she no longer needed him.

I think everyone is arguing about this Arya/Hound thing because it is the easiest thing in the show to get your head around and make a point. Everything else is even more subjective.
Arya/Hound was anything but "easy" to understand. And that's why it was a popular storyline, IMO.
Exactly. It generates discussion because it is anything but straight-forward. Tyrion killing Tywin is pretty simple to understand, by contrast.
this. like, the guy who's been torturing greyjoy for a few seasons now. bad guy. needs killing. Cersei. needs killing. these are simple characters.
I think Cersei is a very complicated character. From her point of view, her actions are about protecting herself and her children. She doesn't do these things out of pure malevolence (except maybe her attitude toward Tyrion, but then again it's sort of justified in her mind).
Cersei certainly has complex motivations, but I think her lust for power (which might trump her other motivations) is what keeps her from being redeeming. If all she wanted to do was protect her children, she would just hide behind the walls of Casterly Rock rather than trying to maintain an iron grip on the Iron Throne, because when you play the game of thrones, you either win or you die.
Well, Lysa hid behind the walls of the Eyrie with her kid and was no more redeemable than Cersei.

ps, the final scene explained by the actress herself....
http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2014/06/15/maisie-williams-on-arya-stark-the-hound-and-the-game-of-thrones-finale/
How did you play her emotional state as she walked away?
I really don’t think it was spiteful. She doesn’t purposefully leave him there to die. He’s bossed her around for so long, it’s like that final straw of, “Now you take me seriously, and it’s too late.” Her whole life, she’s been desperate to prove to people what she’s capable of. Now the Hound really gets it, and it’s too late. He has almost created a monster and it’s started to backfire on him. That’s a lot for her to deal with as well. She kind of likes him! He really helped her out, and as much as it would be doing him a favor, I don’t think she wants to kill him at all. And possibly walking away is killing him. But in “Game of Thrones,” unless you’ve got a dagger in your heart, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re dead.
Really the writers are the only people that can say for sure. But that doesn't even really conflict with what we were saying. I'm not saying she wasn't conflicted, just that at the end of the day she leaves him because that's GOT.
I get that. I'm commenting more on Metalhead's dumbassery that "It's not that rough ridin' hard, people. The Hound and Arya were both using each other to accomplish their goal(s)."
The reality is that it wasn't simple. She was twisted and conflicted. It was hard.
I disagree.
ok. pay closer attention to the show.
I pay closer attention than you do.
In my defense, I'm usually reading articles about the Royals' mindblowing dominance on my Ipad while watching.
But, ultimately, Maisie Williams agrees with me and thinks you're a dumbass. so, thanks for shopping.
Interesting, I didn't see anywhere in the article where Maisie Williams stated that she thinks I am a dumbass, but thanks for letting me know that I got under your skin. Why don't you learn Ramsay Snow's name, and then get back to me on matters related to this story.

It was a complex relationship for sure, but I also don't think the HBO writers made it an inconsistent relationship (as was argued previously). I could fully believe that Arya would clean The Hounds neck wound and also abandon him to his own devices when pushed too far.
I guess I just didn't see the conflict that Maise talked about. In a book, it would be more obvious why she walked away, because her thoughts, mental state, emotions are literally explained for you. In the show, you just see her blank stare as he is writhing in agony. this guy who she actually likes and who she looks up to.
in her interview, she explains that she walked away because him ordering her to kill him was the "final straw" that made her choose to walk away instead of putting him out of his misery. I guess I just didn't see this in that scene.
I immediately took the scene the way Maise described it. :dunno: It wasn't a blank stare to me, it was an intense studying/decision making stare.

Cersei would still not be redeeming even if she would have taken her kids to Casterly Rock and not played the game. She would still be the same spiteful, hateful person.

As many posters have already stated, the show sucks, compared to the book series, at conveying the characters' complex motivations. In the books, we have the benefit of internal monologues from first person characters. We can tell what they are thinking.
Thankfully, in the books it's far more clear how Arya feels when she parts ways from The Hound, and it is a long the lines of what Belvis is suggesting. She does look up to him in many aspects, and it is clearly communicated through her behavior and her internal monologue. The show glosses over many of the developments between the two that make this obvious. The most important being her prayer, which Spracne and I have mentioned. Her prayer is quite central to her development as a character throughout the books. The last time she says it on screen The Hound is still included, and she states his name loud enough for him to hear.
Benja is correct in assuming that I think the show does a poor job of portraying the emotionally charged scenes. I don't think there was enough done to establish the relationship between the two, and I don't think it is the fault of either Rory or Maisie. I've been disappointed in how a lot of things have been handled by D&D this season, but it was still the best show on television and the best season in this series so far. I look forward to the next one.
It seems that I've created a quite a mess, and I think that we're on the brink of a flame war over a television show/ book series. So I thought I would go ahead a put that out there.

Cersei is a great character. Far more redeeming than most give her credit for, but she's very narrow-minded. I get the feeling that many mothers placed in her situation would act the same way (this is ignoring the incest).

You simpletons are all wrong about Arya's motivations. She wants revenge on the hound, but she wants to be the one who bests them. The hound getting too injured to continue does not satisfy her need for revenge, therefore she gives him a chance (not a great one) but if he dies, so be it. If he survives, in her mind it is only 'til she is able to overcome him and kill him on her terms.

The Mountain crushing skulls at the Arnold Classic
After breaking a 1,000-year-old world record during the World's Strongest Viking competition back in February by carrying a 30-foot, 1,433-pound log, Bjornsson added another notch to his belt with a world-record throw at the 2015 Arnold Sports Festival. The 6’9”, 419-pound Icelandic weightlifter posted videos (h/t BroBible.com’s J. Camm) of the feat to Instagram. With one arm, he managed to toss a 56-pound kettle bell 19 feet and three inches into the air.

I've been rewatching season 4. Slipped my mind that Littlefinger and Lysa basically started this whole thing. Now Sansa is best bros with the guy that ruined her family.
-
So I read that Bran won't be in a single episode this season. While I'm not a huge fan of his story arc, it seems weird.
-
Iirc, the show and the books are pretty much caught up with his story for now, yet they have quite a bit of Jon and Danny ' s story left to catch up w bran.
-
Yes, Bran's story is caught up to the books, but also he is just going to be sitting there learning how to be a warg/wizard or whatever from that guy attached to the tree, so that would be pretty boring to watch. It will be better when he shows up in Season 6 as a fully powerful necromancer.

I don't understand how people thought last night was boring. Why do you think that? Were there not enough deaths for you animals? Sure it didn't match up to the season 4 finale in terms of pace, but if it did there would be no main characters left by the end of episode 3 this season.
For me, the only disappointment last night was no Arya.

So, the show cuts out a lot of content from the books and i'm OK with that. Between the sack of Astapor(Where the unsullied came from) and the capture of Meereen (where the show is now) the books had an entire third city Yunkai that gets sacked. Its got some important story elements in it (After its "liberation" Dany leaves to head to the next city, the power vacuum draws in a tyrant who re-enslaves the population, convincing Dany she must stay in Meereen until stability is restored) and just got cut out. On top of that, no Strong Belwas (seriously).
I'm OK with these cuts for the most part. You can't include everything. What I don't like is scenes being cut so they can add in new scenes that suck. There's been 2 scenes in the show, thus far, devoted to the complicated sex lives of the unsullied. That's like 20 minutes, almost half an episode, supplanting characters and storylines that will never see a wider berth beyond print. In the books they're like "Oh yeah, some of the guys likes laying around with the girls for companionship. No big deal" And that's the end of it. No inquisitive heart-to-hearts between Grey Worm and Missandei. I might be alone in this, but its just not that interesting of a story-line.
AND new Daario is a p word, yes.

the yunkai sack was shown in about 2 minutes. and the yunkai warlord drama keeps coming up in her ruling queen business. actually everything you said they are missing actually happened.

i'd wather watch missandei and grey worm awkward it up (they are adorable!) every minute for the rest of my life than watch p word face daario give neck rubs for another 5 minutes
-
Watching the next 4 episodes online and then waiting 5 weeks before you can watch a new episode would be horrible. Why would anyone want to do that?
I'm worried about spoilers, friend.
Obviously as a fan I would not want to hear spoilers from people who access the leaked videos. That is concern #1. I also feel like watching 4 new episodes and then waiting a month for the show to catch up is just torture.
-
Story didn't advance at all but lol at Robin.
I was super pissed at first because I thought they recast Grey Worm and then killed him.
Stannis is such a stud.
I was so pissed about grey worm and then smiled my ass off when they showed the real gw

Not all UnSullied look alike, jerks.

Just started binge rewatching GoT from the first episode. Should finish about the time Season 5 wraps up.
Damn - I forgot how dark the first few were, even by GoT standards. Shoving Bran out the window in epi 1 and Joffrey being a dick and getting the baker's boy and the dog killed in epi 2. Really hated the Lanisters and the Hound back then.
But it's fun rewatching now that I know who the characters are and how they're related. A lot of that backstory went over my head the first time around.

I start rewatching them around february, but i got held up and only got to the end of season 3 this year. I paid for it when 'clams silverbacked me about Yunkai earlier :frown:
-
That was a really fun episode.
-
I mean, thats two straight weeks with a main character having internal conflict about their leadership abilities that culminates with a public beheading. What more could you want?!
-
Last night was really great. I can't wait for the Queen of dragons to finally face a IRL Lannister for the first time. :driving:
-
When that old guy who wanted to bone the Khaleesi said "I'm taking you to the queen." did he mean Cersei? Or did he mean Daenerys?
-

Daenerys. He wants to win her trust back is my guess. She kicked him out and he has nowhere to go.
-
I wondered this too, but Cersei isn't the queen so it has to be Dany. It also seems a lot more practical to take him to Mereen vs Kings Landing since they are in Essos.
Also, what do you think Varys thinks about when he's in a brothel? Must be very awkward, right?
-
wait did you guys not watch ep 4 yet?

I think you are supposed to wonder which one he means....he doesn't yet know that Tommen married Margaery so he might still refer to Cersei as "the queen"....you are supposed to wonder if he is still trying to win Dany's favor or if he has decided to turn on her completely and go back to the Lannisters.....
....But he is taking him to Dany.
Also Varys feels a kinship toward the whores.
-

Yes. I watched it in HD on my tv last night and not on a tiny laptop 2 weeks ago.
-
cool man glad you did :thumbs:
-
Disregard. I lost track of which episode last night was. :flush:
-
Either way, I'd rather watch one week at a time than have a month long wait.

was jon there in like the very first ep when Ned chopped that dudes head even tho he really didnt want to?
formative moment, if so
-
yeah jon made bran watch
-

Yes, it was specifically used as a teaching moment for Jon.
-
aha, thanks team!
i really need to rewatch the first season
-
Well, it was a teaching moment for Bran, really. Jon was just there because everyone else was.
-
do you guys love how grrm named him "Bran". just like heads up, this guy is going to be painfully boring

That's just, like, my opinion on what is happening....I have no idea what is going on now that they deviated from the books so much.
And what about those other people who said he was taking Tyrion to Dany?
-
I read an episode 3 recap this morning that mentioned the Sansa story had gone completely away from the books. Pretty soon no one will know what's going on there.

Yep, Sansa is completely off the rails from the book. I can probably guess what happens to her for the next several episodes based on her location and "companions", but after that :dunno:

Love rheagar stories
-
I really fear for what's next for our girl Sansa.
Grey Worm :frown:
-
Yeah, I don't like the possibilities for Sansa, but it will be interesting to see how she reacts to any abuse by Ramsey and how it will differ from her reaction to Joffery's abuse.
Also, Grey Worm isn't dead, right????
-
It looked like Grey Worm killed a guy who was about to slit Barristan's throat before he could do it, but then they both died anyway. Maybe they are just gravely wounded, though.
-
i would not approve of grey worm being dead. also what would have been the point of all that if he was?
did not like how the elite megawarrior unsullied just got massacred everywhere by dorks with knives.
barriston is def dead
-
I think Barristan is dead and Grey Worm is just injured....and yeah while I was watching I said, "Why is Grey Worm so much better than all the other Unsullied?" They were all getting their asses kicked except him.
-
With Barristan gone, it is going to give Dany more reason to accept Jorah back as an adviser.
-
also Barristan just had his last good old days convo with dany. HE GONE
-
I'm hoping this finally pushes her to unleash the dragons. It seems she has handled everything so poorly this season that if she doesn't do anything I don't even want her to rule Westeros. That being said, the preview for next week gave away Barristan's fate. There is no way Dany takes Jorah back right? In the teaser for the season there was a scene shown with Jorah in the fighting pits. So I am assuming that will be his punishment for returning.
I also was audibly upset the whole time that the unsullied didn't just destroy the harpies. For how expensive they supposedly are, they sure seem to be killed rather easily.
-
All that cuddling made the Unsullied soft.
-
Better villain - Ramsey or Joffrey?
-
Of course the unsullied go their asses kicked by the harpies. the unsullied's biggest strength is their organization. they operate as a unit. they are not trained to fight in utter chaos.
-
rough ridin' chowderheads, the lot of you.
-

How many Unsullied are required for a unit? Whatever that number is is how many Unsullied should patrol together at all times. Why would you attempt to fight with fewer than required?
If they weren't soft then they were being stupid, which is arguably worse.
-
Better villain - Ramsey or Joffrey?
Ramsey. He does the dirty work himself and he's much more torturing about it.
Joff was a cold hearted a-hole but at least he never cut off a guy's johnson.
-

Joff was a cold hearted a-hole but at least he never cut off a guy's johnson.
Ramsay can be witty and humorous, even if he is a sadistic madman. He also at least has some sort of an excuse as to why he does what he does. He comes from a family of psychopaths and desperately wants to be accepted as a true Bolton. He's basically the super Bolton.
Joffrey was just a terrible human and didn't have any redeeming qualities as a person or character. The only thing he provided was anger and making everyone wish someone would off him. Not that he wasn't a great character. He was, and his mega-heel status made for a lot of great scenes where you could really root for whoever he was up against.
You hate Joffrey. Ramsay is a sick and twisted eff, but doesn't really invoke seething hatred like Joff did.

I'm more scared of Ramsey than Joffery.

Joffrey was given a whole lot more screen time to develop that hatred. Give Ramsey time, and I think you will hate him even more. Joffrey was the more unique character, though. I think I prefer him just for that.
-

Absolutely. Joff was very hate-able, but Ramsey is more villainous.
-
A month ago the term "greyscale" meant absolutely nothing. Stannis' daughter looked kinda scaley, but who cares? It's like the show runners sat on it until the last possible moment. I wonder if Jorah will cut off his arm or try to hide it...
Ramsey was very Joffrey-ish at dinner. It's pretty much #caseclosed on who is the bigger villain between he and Joff.
Grey Worm!!!!!! :excited:
-
so, uh, this show kinda sucks now.
-
yes nothing is going to happen this season unless they fast forward through a bunch of terrible book 4 narrative (looks like they kind of are)
-
Still binge re-watching the last 4 seasons. Back to Season 4 now. Looking forward to firing up Season 5 next week!

Where is the thread where I get mad about the show deviations and get all high and mighty about reading the books?
Is this it? I want to make sure that I'm in the right place.

The Boltons have to be really stupid if they think that Sansa is just going to go along with them, right? They have to know that she hates them...Do they just think that she is a quiet little girl who does what she's told and isn't going to try to get revenge?

Sophie Turner has mentioned in interviews that there is a particular scene she filmed this season that was traumatizing. Since she is now wrapped up with the Boltons I'm really afraid of what will happen to her. Given the Boltons history with the Starks nothing would surprise me.

Not really a spoiler. She doesn't say what it is that happens and traumatizing scenes are par for the course on GoT.

I'm upset that the sand snakes are trying to kill a little girl and not Cersei herself. That would be a much more interesting plot line to me.

About the only story line I'm currently interested in is Stannis v Bolton. I'm assuming that will be the episode 9 battle.

Two episodes into Season 5. Starting pretty slow. Dialogue seems a little mopey and listless at times. I haven't read the books, but I'm a little concerned about where this show is headed without the source material. Like does anybody have any idea what's going to happen with Sansa and LF, or is that going to continue on a really boring/annoying track? But the Breeane/Podrick duo is still funny.
Glad they've reunited Jamie with the sell-sword - that should be good, even if it is a seemingly pointless mission to Dorne.
The stuff in the North is really getting interesting now with Stannis/Bolton/Snow/Wildlings. That's going to be good I think. I'm still not clear on why Stannis took his new army all the way up north. Did Fire Lady tell him he needed the Wildlings?
Oh yeah, and Dragon Lady is getting super stale. I guess Tyrion will liven that up soon, hopefully.

I believe that Stannis knows that the North isn't very Pro Lanister, and he had to retreat after the blackwater

Watching Reek/Theo come to the rescue of Sansa later this season and crush Ramsey's face is going to be highly enjoyable and really something to look forward to.

Apparently people didn't like that rape scene...
http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/19/senator-quitting-game-thrones
As far as rape scenes go, I didn't really think that one was very gratuitous at all....they cut away and didn't really show it at all.
-
Wasn't much of a rape at all
-
Wasn't much of a rape at all
If I remember correctly they showed more in the Drogo/Dany rape...and that wasn't even a rape in the book. The Ramsey/Sansa rape was even worse in the book than on the show, although it wasn't Sansa in the book....Do you think people care more because it was actually Sansa instead of small character that we know nothing about?
-
That cornball ridiculous bullshit with Jamie and Bron in the dessert dressed up as Dornish dudes and then the HORRIBLY choreographed/acted fight seen with the little girls with whips may have been the worst television on an HBO series in the history of all HBO series. It was sad and felt so uncomfortably forced the actors even looked out of sorts. GoT has jumped the shark and they have no idea what they are doing. it's awful. Please bring on True Detective 2 ASAP.

Yeah, on GoT marital rape is not a crime. In fact, Tywin was really mad at Tyrion for not raping Sansa.

The interwebs are really freaking out over this rape scene. So even if the rapist is a sadistic eff who's clearly a bad guy, you can't depict rape by evil people in a medieval fantasy series? Or did there need to be some sort of trigger warning first?
Also, would love for Theon to finally have his Darth Vader moment of redemption, but I figured it would have to happen when Ramsey was raping Sansa. Nope.

If you didn't see that rape coming then you haven't been paying attention - no trigger warning needed.
It would have been totally out of character for Ramsey to NOT have raped her.
People who are complaining about this are just stupid. They didn't stop watching when Drogo raped Dany. They didn't stop watching when Ramsey tortured and cut of Theon's junk.
The rape of Sansa is part of the story of what Sansa goes through (and the fact that she chose to go through with it). Just because rape is happening in a storyline does not mean that the writers/showrunners are pro-rape (like Wacky).

Right. I think the Dany and Cersei rapes would actually be more objectionable because Drogo and Jamie are portrayed in at least a somewhat sympathetic light, as are their relationships with the rape victims. I don't get the outrage here.
When Claire McCaskill tweets that this was the final straw for her, it makes me wonder if she even actually watches the show.

They really teased us with him using his real name earlier in the episode. I was really hoping he would stab the dude or something.

I wish they would have had the scene with Ramsey telling Reek that he had to pretend to be a guy named Theon for the wedding.

Next week starts with Reek stabbing Ramsey while he marriage-rapes Sansa, right? He looks like a guy who's about to snap, and what better time to kill the person responsible for making his life an absolute hell?
And here's the twist: Ramsey has already been able to impregnate Sansa because Ramsey goes out like NPH in Gone Girl.

Sansa and GRRM's opinion on the rape scene:
http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/sophie-turner-george-martin-talk-up-the-recent-game-of-thrones-controversy-322\
When I read that scene, I kinda loved it. I love the way Ramsay had Theon watching. It was all so messed up. It’s also so daunting for me to do it. I’ve been making [producer Bryan Cogman] feel so bad for writing that scene: “I can’t believe you’re doing this to me!” But I secretly loved it. After Joffrey, she’s escaped him and you think she’s going to lose her virginity to a guy who’s really sweet and takes care of her and she’s thrown in with a guy who’s a whole lot worse. But I kind of like the fact she doesn’t really know what a psycho he is until that night. She has a sense, but she’s more scared of his father. And then that night everything gets so f*cked up.

I'd like to think Theon or Sansa or Breeane is going to kill Ramsey, but it seems like the bad guys win in GoT - until they're killed in a totally unrelated manner.

Wouldn't be surprised if Theon tries to kill Ramsey tonight. Weddings usually signal death on this show and Theon's life can't get any worse. He has nothing more to lose.

I'm pretty curious as to what Little Finger is trying to do. The past 3 episodes he has formed alliances with Lady Olena, Cersei, and the Boltons.

Yes. It's a total snoozefest when he's on.

Gilly is going to get pregnant, right? And then everyone will know Sam broke his vows so it will put Lord Commander Snow in quite a pickle: Uphold the sacred vows of the Night's Watch (which he too has broken) or choose to side with his only true friend.

i think he just wants to eff up everything until he is in position to be king
he said before that his goal was to be king of the world

This show continues to kick ass. Pretty much every story line, except for Danny, continues to be interesting. Tyrion should liven that up. Speaking of Dragon Lady, I thought she commanded that the fighting pits would only be open to free men - not slaves? Did I miss where she changed her mind on that?
I thought Sansa had some sort of plan in marrying Ramsay. It looking like she didn't really have any plan other than "trust Little Finger." Ouch. Speaking of which, I'm surprised Little Finger is so successfully playing all sides. Don't all these people have their own spy networks?
I didn't expect Tomen to be such a FP, especially after he started getting laid. Disappointing because he seems like a good person, but I guess his only role is to be a puppet.
Sure looks like John Snow is riding right into a trap.
Danny - you're boring. Quit whining and make a move already.
Finally, anybody else rooting for Stannis? At least among the tools who are currently vying for the throne, I like him the best. So I guess he'll probably die soon.
Oh, and Brandon Stark hasn't even made an appearance this season, has he? Huh.

I think that Dany is not exactly aware that they are slaves fighting.
Sanas's only plan was "Trust Littlefinger, marry Ramsey until I find an opportunity to strike."
Hopefully Tommen will be less of a FP when he doesn't have his mommy there manipulating him.
Bran Stark will not be in this season.
-
Sansa is doing a very poor job of finding an opportunity to strike. She really swung and missed with the candle. As awful as it must be for her, her best move is to play nice for Ramsey and lure him into trusting her. It's probably too late for that tho.
This also makes me think that Reek/Theon is making that move. Him ratting out Sansa was a big step towards taking out Ramsey.
-
Unless there was more to Theon and Sansa's conversation that was left out and this was all part of a bigger plan...
-
In a typical movie or TV series I would expect for Theon to finally take some type of action to defend or help Sansa.... in this series, I doubt he will because that's what everyone thinks will happen.
-
Does Jorah really think Dany is gonna take him back? He's about to turn into stone I mean get a load of this guy.

I'm not sure it has anything to do with intentionally going against what the audience wants - I just think an overarching theme of this show is that the ruthless and cunning tend to prevail over honor and justice. Ned did what was right - lost his head. Little Finger betrayed him, he prospers. Bronn's win at the Eyrie. The Mountain's win over Oberyn. Geoffry is a sadistic little eff but none of the people he wronged got their revenge - he fell to a plot between Little Finger and House Tyrel.
I'm guessing Theon, Sansa, and none of the other "good guys" are going to bring Ramsay down. Roose or his wife seem more likely to kill him. I'm still hazy on why Roose felt it would be a good idea to inform Ramsay that he is expecting a son. Is he trying to put Ramsay on warning, or is he trying to bait Ramsay into doing something?

Yeah, but aside from Tyrion's lofty ideas of love and family loyalty, he's super cunning.

He is a good guy in a relative sense. He also has the potential for redemption, unlike some of the flatter pure evil characters. Other than that, I agree with you. That's why I put "good guys" in quotes. He is good relative to Ramsay.

Just needs counseling

Theon is not a good guy...even though he didn't actually kill Bran & whatever the younger kid's name is...he did kill two innocent boys to make it look like he killed the Stark boys.
But other characters have been redeemed after doing things just as bad. Jaime killed his own cousin to get out when he was captured.

I didn't say he was good - I said he was better than Ramsay. And he's redeemable. His dad shipped him off as a child to become the hostage/ward of his enemy. That's pretty mumped up. Everything he did at Winterfell was an effort to prove himself worthy to his POS dad.
-
as soon as ramsey has something terrible happen to him you guys will all think he's not that bad either.

Theon is about as redeemable as that Two-For-One Tastee Freeze coupon you've had in your wallet for the last three decades, KSUW.

Theon is a POS. He's had a very terrible time since being taken by the Boltons, but he hasn't done anything since the show started that makes him the least bit likable or redeemable. He's the biggest coward on the show.

Theon is a complete stud. Hoping he becomes King.

Just because Ramsay is cruel does not make him worse than Theon. Ramsay's treatment of Theon does not change Theon's history, it may make him pitiable, but there is not much evidence that he is better than Ramsay.
In the GOT moral universe he is not better than Ramsay because he is a coward (Greyjoy/Iron Isles paradigm), not loyal (Stark/Greyjoy paradigm), and not tough/resilient (Bolton/GOT in general).
Ramsay has done a lot of evil things, but they have mostly been in service of carving out his slice of life. Even when it was pure cruelty, it served to bolster his house's reputation. (flayed man sigil) He has not betrayed his father. Ramsay is an evil, ruthless sadist but how could you possibly think that Theon betraying both his family's core beliefs and then repeatedly betraying the House that he was fostered with are more excusable than Ramsay's excesses?
Theon is weak and so he suffers. On it goes.

If I was in a room with pre-Reek Theon, he'd probably just brag about how many girls he's shagged (kinda like Beems). If I was in a room with Ramsay, he'd probably peel my face off. Ramsey is a lot worse than Theon.

I don't know if it's because I binge rewatched seasons 1-4 leading up to this, but I am loving the crap out of season 5. Awesome stuff.

No, the insurer didn't pay some family even though the some now dead capt paid him.

Ok, but the captain in the scene with Arya tried to take out life insurance, and the scammer refused. That doesn't seem like a very good scam, unless he's trying to up the premium?
Also, it seems like this guy wouldn't stay in business very long once word got around that he wasn't paying beneficiaries. I know they don't have Angie's List, but word should get around, right? You've really got to put a hit out on him?

That's not fraud - that's insurance. I think this guy is taking money with no intention of paying it if the guy dies. In which case, I'm not sure why he didn't take the money.
-
I think they are only saying that it has happened, not that it always happens. As for word getting around, he is a rich guy and their world is violent. I can imagine mulitiple ways the insurer can make that all work out the way he wants it to.
Anyway, word has gotten around. That is why the one guy at the temple knows.
For future viewing, I would recommend the implementation of willing suspension of free market belief.

So which king/queen is most likely to decree that all insurance providers have to provide insurance to people they think are going to die? Stannis and Jon Snow both seem like studs of the free market variety. Daeneryscare?

Then what will be the climax to finish the season?
I am thinking:
Jorah kills a bunch of people in the fighting pits and accidentally gives someone stoneman disease.
Tommen uses the army to free his mom and wife and kill the high septon.
Sansa kills Ramsay.
Bran is shown hanging out up north.
Tyrion drinks wine.
Unless they make the Tommen thing super cool, none of that is at the epic level of the episode we just saw. So I don't know what to think.

I bet the winterfell battle doesn't happen. We get like right on the doorstep, then, booom! White walker giant hits winterfell right in the nuts.
Its not going to be a battle. Ramsay and his 20 guys are going to sneak in and flay stannis or the red lady or both
Then what will be the climax to finish the season?
I am thinking:
Jorah kills a bunch of people in the fighting pits and accidentally gives someone stoneman disease.
Tommen uses the army to free his mom and wife and kill the high septon.
Sansa kills Ramsay.
Bran is shown hanging out up north.
Tyrion drinks wine.
Unless they make the Tommen thing super cool, none of that is at the epic level of the episode we just saw. So I don't know what to think.
I'm glad you don't write this series
-

former, yes
latter, nope.
He kept his kid alive even though she has that stone skin thingy.
He will def implement a mandatory religion with burning of deniers.

i don't think you can use his treatment of his child as a bellwether for how he would treat the proletariat.

Why don't the wights just turn the sea to ice and walk out there? Also why did the one guy settle for just knocking Jon around instead of killing him? Very dumb.
-
I don't think Stanis will be around much longer anyway. Not in a position of power, anyway. I think the combo of Winterfell and the White Walkers will knock him down a peg or two.
Also, the Red Lady may pick a new horse soon.
-
No, the insurer didn't pay some family even though the some now dead capt paid him.
Ok, but the captain in the scene with Arya tried to take out life insurance, and the scammer refused. That doesn't seem like a very good scam, unless he's trying to up the premium?
Also, it seems like this guy wouldn't stay in business very long once word got around that he wasn't paying beneficiaries. I know they don't have Angie's List, but word should get around, right? You've really got to put a hit out on him?
Who knew Game of Thrones could make a life insurance scam so interesting.
he only insures people he thinks wont die. that captain was too old and taking too risky a trip
That's not fraud - that's insurance. I think this guy is taking money with no intention of paying it if the guy dies. In which case, I'm not sure why he didn't take the money.
he only insures people he thinks wont die, and if his gamble fails he doesnt pay out. he provides no service just takes. NO WONDER YOU LOVE HIM SO MUCH
luckily the free market god is going to judge his ass
So which king/queen is most likely to decree that all insurance providers have to provide insurance to people they think are going to die? Stannis and Jon Snow both seem like studs of the free market variety. Daeneryscare?
Jon Snow has a perfectly good wall already built and he's using his executive power to just let the immigrants through anyway.
-

Jon's valyrian steel sword protected him and allowed him to kill the white walker, just as Sam's dragon glass allowed him to kill the white walker he encountered.
-
At some point, Arya will be considered trained and will be assigned to go back to Westeros and assassinate those pushing the God of Light. Right? I mean, how else will she tie back in to the story unless she quits?

I get that, but he was without Longclaw for parts of the battle and the guy didn't take advantage. What I'm getting at is the wights have supernatural abilities but are really shitty fighters.

Where has the boy been? The hawk boy?

Because Jon Snow is a stud and much better fighter that white walkers....Do wargs have any special usefulness/significance to the Others? Maybe they have a purpose for him?

Do you think that people are going to be upset about Meryn Trant's rape of a little girl like they were about Sansa? No, because she is not a character we care about. (Also, all the people who were upset by the Sansa rape stopped watching. :dubious:)

Arya is going to get herself kicked out of her murderer's club.

Ser Meryn the Diddler. That guy is a rough ridin' creep.
Will Arya be the "fresh one" tomorrow? It seems likely but who knows because nothing that is obvious ever happens in this show.
-
gross, stannis. i hope ramsay gets ahold of his bits.
-
As much as it sucked, killing the princess makes sense for the show. Just a few episodes ago, Stannis gives this tearjerking speech about how she's his daughter, and he would do anything for her. But then it is revealed that there's only one thing stronger than his love for his daughter - his obsession with the Iron Throne. So now he's beyond any hope of redemption, and even he knows it.
I'm still hoping he kills the Boltons, though. For some reason I find them even more repulsive and I'm not sure why. But then Ser Davos needs to avenge the little girl next season.

davos will probably try to kill melisadre. dont know how it will go tho

I'm glad that dude dany was going to marry got stabbed. I HATED every time he talked.

I wondered the same thing. The director appeared to let the camera focus on their hands touching for an extra second or two.

were the harpies slaves? was it a false flag the whole time? am i correct in perceiving that the harpies were slaves and they were massacreing the masters?

I think he would have to touch her directly with the infected part of his body, but I'm not 100% sure.

What? The Harpies are the masters...or working for the masters....and they were just killing ever-y-body.
-
And I have to think the prissy guy who's dead now was in on the scheme, right? That's why he was late to the fight?
Also, Joran really, really loves Dragonlady, so I doubt he did anything that would infect her.
-
ok. it seemed like many or most of them were dressed in slave clothes. also it was made to seem like hizzy was out schemeing the attack but he ended up getting shivved anyway
-

A lot of them were wearing the same cloth pulled through a metal ring type thing that the guy announcing the fights was wearing...and I took him to be one of the masters because that's who like to promote these fights...
As for Hiz, I really thought that he was on her side, but it was pretty suspicious that he was late. I think they killed him for being on her side (whether he really was or not).
-
hizdar got got for trying to play both sides.

HBO guys just did a really good job of consolidating the not-lanisters and Not-bolton camps. I mean, Dany's bandwagon has to be overflowing with stanis losers right now.

The girl had it, but was somehow cured because her dad spared no expense in saving her, only to later burn her at the stake.
The guy who used to be under queen of dragons also has it, but it takes time to spread.

In the books, they mention that children often survive grayscale but are left disfigured (I think they even casually mention other children/adults with scars) but that it is always fatal to adults. Think of it like a nasty version of chickenpox.
Also, to grayscale nerd out, its supposed to be an allegory for leprosy. Many substances have placeholder names (milk-of-the-poppy:opioum, dragonglass-obsidian, etc) in the series and some of the descriptions of greyscale are similar to medieval qualities of leprosy (those afflicted are considered "unclean", shunned off to colonies of the infirmed). As such, leprosy is not something just anyone can get. Only people whose body temperature runs on the low side are susceptible to it. Dany having dragon's blood is far too spicy for grayscale. Boom.

I don't think White Walkers can get grescale....your blood needs to be circulating to get it to progress through your body. But someone with greyscale could be turned into a White Walker.

the whole fighting pit was just laughable. the guys in masks were like untrained bad guy ninjas in a bad ninja movie. And the CGI sucked.

I miss the subtle story lines mixed with occasional ultra violence and epic battle scenes. This season is more "here's a bunch of stuff happening". It's still just as fun or even more fun if you look at it a certain way but less unique imo.

-

I will never get over how easily the unsullied are killed by random untrained fighters. Not to mention how insanely accurate they were with spears when throwing at Drogon.
That being said, when Danny interacted with Drogon the CGI was poor, but on a TV scale that was still pretty phenomenal. And all the parts where Drogon was by himself were pretty epic.

I think Stannis is dead. Good. I guess Jon Snow probably gets resurrected, but I hate to think of him abandoning the watch and under the thumb of the red lady. Ollie's betrayal makes me sad.
I guess I didn't really care too much about lil Lanister. The Cersei moment was also a little anticlimactic because I just don't like her. At all.
Dragon lady is back with dothraki, which I'm not too excited about, but we'll see. Why did she take the ring off?
Sansa and Theon - dead or the next Arya/Hound? I'm hoping for the latter.
All in all a pretty shitty season finale, but I still think it'll all pay off.
-
The show creators explained that Danny took off the ring so that anyone following after would know they were in the right place. Are you kidding me? Who is going to stumble across that tiny little ring in an area that big?
The Theon Sansa jump was annoying. I don't know why they left that ambiguous. The show creators were not trying to be secretive after the show saying that her and Theon escaped. Why not show that when they jump it is different than when that other girl got pushed. How much snow would have to be down there to break that fall?

This was my initial thought on why she took off the ring, but yes it will be a really big coincidence when Jorah & Daario find it.

Sure they escape, but how badly were they hurt in the jump? Have to watch next season to find out.

Jon is definitely going to be resurrected by Melisandre. Otherwise why would she return to castle black specifically and not ride somewhere else entirely?

I wasn't wondering it because the show has shown every beheading and death in gruesome full detail. Of course he's alive.

I'm a little annoyed at all the death cliffhangers. Are these people alive or dead?
-Arya
-Jon Snow
-Stannis
-Sansa
-Theon
-Myrcella
At least some of those people have to actually be dead, right? Having all of them alive would just be too gimmicky.

Yes I know, but surely they wouldn't apply the same gimmick to six characters and events in a single episode. Would come across as tacky and lazy writing. At least two of those people are dead, dead. My guess would be Myrcella and Stannis*.
If Stannis is still alive, then Brienne is likely dead.

I think he makes his way back to King's Landing to fight Zombie Mountain during Cersei's trial. Every trial so far has ended in combat.

Have we talked about how awful Daario's accent is? He's much better in Orphan Black.
-
did you guys smile when Varys showed up to banter with Tyrion one more time? well i sure did

How awful was the mountain reveal? I was hoping for awesome brutal crap, but I got a doofy purple bloated dinosaur squeezed into gold armor that doesn't talk

I heard it suggested that possibly Brienne would keep him alive as a bargaining chip to get Sansa back.

Oh, and Ollie stabbing Jon was some of the most God-awful obvious foreshadowing I've ever seen.

This season had several of those types of too obvious groaners. When Sansa was headed to the tower I called it that Brienne would just miss seeing it by seconds. Predictable / annoying.
-
well that was supposed to be painful
-
I'm now on team Cercei. She's pretty terrible, but I'm really rooting for her to inflict her vengeance on the Sparrow.
-

Because this is the thread for people who haven't read the books.

Has nothing to do with the books. I didn't take it as she was dead on the show.

I haven't read the books and thought it was very obvious that she was only blinded and not dead.
-
so, can somebody explain to me why cercei was locked up for so long without the King's Guard just laying waste to that place? Like, they just let the Sparrow take her prisoner and take her out of the Red Keep? And then didn't do anything while she was prisoner?
What gives?

Because Tommen has no idea what to do when his mommy isn't there to manipulate him.
Also, the King's Guard is only like 6 guys, right? And Cersei gave the Faith Militant a whole army basically....

Well, she took someone's life that wasn't hers to take, and jaqen said only death can pay life, and then drank that potion. I don't think it's stupid to infer that the character might be dead as a result. Uppity-ass nerds...

I didn't mean the King's Guard - I generally meant the entire royal army (whatever it's called). like, they had this big exchange at the bridge to the Red Keep, lined with armed royal guards - just standing there. Like, does the royal military not control the entirety of King's Landing? Or are they only empowered to protect the castle?

They only do what Tommen tells them to. He was going to use them to free Margaery, but Cersei convinced him not to, telling him that the Sparrows would kill her in her cell before he could rescue her. I'm sure he feels the same holds true if he were to try to rescue his mother.
-
I haven't read the books, but I get the impression that the vast majority of the city - the poor - support the sparrows. I think Tommen (his advisors) realizes that he doesn't have the forces necessary to route the sparrows and quell the revolt that would ensue. That's just conjecture, but my only explanation for how even Tommen could be this inept.
-
The price would be civil war. With Tywin gone, no one else has the balls to do it.
-
The last episode was amazing. Dear god.
-
I didn't enjoy this last one much at all. Basically just "killing" a lot of characters and setting things up for next season. Mostly boring/depressing. Even the bit with Tyrion/Veris was flat.
But I did like two things: Stannis's end was well done. "On to Winterfell." The way he unsheathed his sword with resignation as the Bolton army approached. His confession to Breanne. It was good.
I also liked the Sansa/Theon bit.

I'm not sure what else Theon needs to do to finally get out of the doghouse for some of these people. Yes, he was generally a prick and also did some appalling things to try to prove himself to his appalling father. I think he's suffered quite a bit for those decisions. I also think he's recognized the evil things he's done and he'll continue to redeem himself (if he survives the fall).

I may have read the same article and couldn't see anything. Some fans are really stretching with their theories, but who really knows. Anything is possible on this show, but I find it extremely difficult to believe that a few daggers to the torso would magically reveal Jon's heritage.

Yes, that is the article I read. They haven't made any mention of it on the shows, and I don't think Dany has purple eyes.

So I just read about jon snow being a targarean has this possibility been discussed here?
-
well the show has kind of been hinting at that
-
It has been discussed.
Many are confident Melisandre's blood magic will bring Jon Snow back to life and reveal him as the blood of a dragon (Targaryen). Fire will be involved (like it was for Daenerys).
Going a step further, I feel like at some point Jon and Daenerys will unite and kick White Walker ass with dragons.

They know just how to pique our interest without giving anything away. The ultimate recap covering all the key elements.
I did enjoy the pretty cheeky line at the end "They have no idea what is going to happen." I also think that was the "big reveal" because I think that was Bran's voice. It might play along with the theory that Jon is a warg and warged into Ghost just before dying. I think Bran is going to play a huge role in the battle to come. I'm too excited for something that doesn't come out until April!

I just came here to post that. I don't think I have ever been more stoked for a TV show than I am after watching that trailer. I am actually starting to think without a book to hold it back that the show might be more impactful and more fitting for a TV audience.
I still don't know what to think about John Snow. He had this to say in an interview with "Time Out London"
Here is what he had to say
Kit Harington: 'Look, I’m not in the show any more. I’m definitely not in the new series.'
Time Out: 'So you didn’t film any new scenes?'
KH: 'I filmed some scenes of me being dead – [jokily] it’s some of my best work.'
TO: 'Do you know what happens in the series or have you lost your privileges?'
KH: 'I don’t have a clue. I know how long I’m a corpse for, but I can’t tell you that!’
http://www.timeout.com/london/blog/kit-harington-tells-us-jon-snow-will-return-in-game-of-thrones-season-6-030416
-
I refuse to believe that Jon is completely dead and gone. Even if for some reason he does not appear in Season 6, he will be back.
Also, I saw last week that HBO isn't allowing media and critics the opportunity to view episodes in advance this year. The fact that they are keeping such a tight lid on this makes me think it's because of Jon.

I'd bet he's alive in the first episode.

i started rewatching BB last night and already wanted her to die by the birthday squeezer scene in the pilot

Ramsay could spend all day torturing arya, stringer bell, and kim wexler, and then if he went home to skylar i would feel bad for him

Very much so part of why BB worked. Walt could be a monster and you could easily discount it because of what he put up with.

The Tyrion theory is fascinating. First time I'd heard that one.

Just like we all hoped: naked old woman vag!

I can't shake the image of naked old Melisandre :Yuck:
Seriously tho... She has to be like 200 years old, right?

Not sure what red lady is waiting for - maybe she just needs a nap first.

The creators said it immediately after the show.

So the Many Faced God and the Lord of Light both seem to be real - they've produced actual results.
Has the Seven-faced-God actually done anything to prove their existence? Or the Old Gods?
-
I'm trying to figure out why revealing Mel's age is significant. Maybe it is foreshadowing that her resurrection of Jon Snow is going to require so much power that it will kill her, and she knows it.

oh great, more of the sand snakes. :don'tcare:

It is not shocking to me that she is really old - she's basically a witch so faking her own "youngness" isn't a surprise. The fact that her body actually looks that old is a little jarring.
Right now she is questioning her whole belief system - the Lord of Light didn't save Stannis even after she sacrificed Shireen. Which, BTW, the killing of one little girl is less significant to her because she is so old and has seen lots of people of all ages die in her lifetime.

how the F did she give birth to that black ghost thing that killed actual good king candidate Renly, and yet she can't do anything else?

She picked the wrong guy. Stannis is not Azor Ahai.

I think she'll sacrifice her immortality (or whatever you want to call it) to bring Jon Snow back from the dead.

The Arya storyline is the only intriguing part of S6 so far. Everything else is just puzzle pieces falling into place, but I have no idea what she's being set up to do.
My best guess is she will assassinate either Ramsay or The Warrior Formerly Known As The Mountain (or both).

Not really sure how you can be sure what the hell role Bran will be set to do and what impact he may have on Westeros. He's obviously the most powerful Stark still alive and I doubt he will only serve to give us flashbacks.

Presumably due to the Red God, not because of his own power. Outside of brooding looks and being entirely too sensitive and nice to Sam, what "power" can you really attribute to Jon Snow. Obvz he could be a dragon rider/targaryan/savior of westeros, but at present, Bran is just warging with little giants, time traveling, and, presumably, watching the entire world.
-
The Arya storyline has always been my fav but is SUPER slow developing. I'm really skeptical that she's going to do anything of note this season (until maybe the finale).
Does anyone think the hound will be back?

They sort of leave it open in the book, I hope so.

He has them in the books, but he doesn't have them on the show.

Pretty sure the title of this thread pretty clearly states why we are all here.

This has nothing to do with the books at this point.

JS hasn't once warged with Ghost in the show. His eyes didn't glaze over like Orell's did when he died. And, unlike in the books, he didn't say "Ghost" as he was dying.
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fnewmediarockstars.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F01%2Fwildling-warging-at-death.jpg&hash=5ca66f3f50369ffac408572e1396e286a2ad0129)
Not saying it couldn't have happened, it would just be very odd for the show to all of a sudden spring that on the viewers without the least bit of hint. The show has been extremely good at foreshadowing and leaving clues.
-
I mean, it doesn't matter at all to the plot right now whether Snow was warging it up during his death or not. So why would they bother adding that factoid in?
-
If anything it would make things worse from a plot perspective. "So you were controlling Ghost the whole time and all you did was lay there?"
-
I binged on the first five seasons. Finally saw the first two of the new season this evening. Glad I'm watching and can now read this thread with a bit of background.

It's a pretty fun show, canary :cheers:

I'm enjoying it, lib. Thx

One of the best parts of GOT is getting to talk with people about it each week. Season 6 has been great because I can discuss episodes with my buds who read the books. Everyone is on level ground now.
-
So obviously I don't know that Jon was inside Ghost but the way Ghost woke up then Jon woke up....it was like the real Ghost was waking up for the first time in a few days as Jon left his mind and woke up in his own body.
This season is supposedly the best for Jon Snow yet so some important stuff is going to happen with him. After we learn about his parentage in those flashback scenes that are going to happen next week, he is going to need to start honing his warging powers so he will eventually be able to warg into a dragon.
-
The dire wolves have always had a 6th sense when it comes to their respective Stark owners. Ghost was sad because his companion was not waking up. Once life came back into Jon's body Ghost sensed it and perked up.
-
it'd be a lot cooler if he warged into the wolf to live again than if it was just some red god nonsense. i assume these tv writer dudes want the show to be cool, but i dunno, maybe not.
-
If Jon warged into Ghost then why did it take some Lord of Light magic for him to come back to life? Without Mel would he have just stayed in Ghost forever?
-
Red God magic works. I don't think he was warging

I think the show is quite obviously pointing to a warg connection bw Jon and Ghost. The question is whether Ghost woke up bc Jon was coming back life, or did Jon not come back right away bc Ghost was sleeping? I'm leaning toward the latter theory bc that's what the repeated camera shots back and forth bw Ghost and Snow seem to be suggesting. I'd guess that Jon is going to reveal that he saw at least some of the aftermath through Ghost's eyes.
Regardless, Snow is back and ready to kick some ass. I cannot wait until next epi when he comes sauntering up to the traitors' ice cells... :lol:
Enjoyed the Ned flashback.
So we're doing the iron islands thing? Meh. Ok, but meh.
Did not miss Dany. Not one bit.
Ramsay is such a cold hearted eff. He just keeps upping his game. Killing babies is just the worst part of this show.
Lannisters are kinda meh right now and I expect they'll remain that way for a while.

Pretty much anything besides laying there. I mean, if Jon was really in there then I would never want him as my charades teammate.

Yep. While everyone else is playing pattycake and having snow ball fights Ramsay is hyper-focused on the task at hand. Unifying the North (and Westeros?).

This
That's the simplest explanation. But the camera kept doing this really obvious back and forth bw sleeping Ghost and dead Jon. And by the way - Ghost is just sleeping while red Lady is putting her hands all over Jon? That doesn't add up.
-
See previous 6th sense point. Ghost knew she was trying to help him thus he was chill.
-
Surprised they didn't wait another full episode to bring Jon back. :zzz:
I was actually kind of hoping they would. There was a theory out there that Jon would actually be resurrected by fire itself--and furthering the other theory that he is a targaryan, and possibly the other theory that Snow is the incarnation of Azor Ahai, creating the flaming sword Lightbringer--rather than by the red woman. Would have been great if after all that the ep ended and it started with Jon Snow being burned on a pyre and coming to life, unburnt. ANYWHO, loooks like that is out.
Mrs. Gooch, you are super into warging. Weird considering it has played a very small role so far in the show. My bet is that JS does not warg with a dragon, but rides it, next to Daenerys and Tyrion, just like Aegon and his two sisters.
-
Mrs. Gooch, you are super into warging.
Yes because warging is super cool. There should be more of it in the show. It is the only thing keeping Bran from being a total snoozefest (but he is going to be important in the future).
My bet is that JS does not warg with a dragon, but rides it, next to Daenerys and Tyrion, just like Aegon and his two sisters.
Also a strong possibility but I think warging a couple of times to get the dragons in the habit of accommodating a rider could really help the process.

if you're trying to get your dragon in the mood for a rough ridin' rough ride, a little wargplay goes a long way

warging into a dragon seems dumb if they're so smart like Tyrion says. Like, what's the point.

if you warged into someone's wife, would you apologize to the husband?

I love this show and I caught up on it last summer, but I have no clue how you guys keep up with character names. Maybe my brain is small. There's so much going on, i'm always like: "Oh man, i've seen that guy before. Why is her murdering Jon Snow?!" :confused:

It is a little easier when you've read the books (although that gets confusing because there are characters in the books who are not in the show and vice versa, and also some of the characters' names have been change from the book to the show). Also, maybe easier when you have time between episodes to kind of soak it it, rather than binging?
Also, that guy was Alliser Thorne (who really has never liked Jon Snow and is jealous of him becoming LC) or maybe you are talking about Ollie (the little kid whose parents were murdered by Wildlings and therefore he is mad at JS for allying with the Wildlings).

There is no way that a adult human could watch GoT and not remember Hodor. You're full of crap, fanman.

I don't think I forgot him, but he's always in the background to me. I have a short attention span with slow shows, so i'm usually playing baseball on my phone or BBS'ing throughout the show. Oh, look, bird...

We cut it much shorter for this season, and do a different hairstyle this season and put it up in a bun.

There is an interesting theory out there that Hodor is actual a warg. He was warging with a horse, but something went wrong and now the horse's mind is trapped in Wylis's body. Hodor is the name of the horse, so keep an ear open for horse names in the flashbacks. (Maybe Lyanna's horse.)

Pretty sure that's not how warging works. That would make so much more sense if the horse was a warg.

Well maybe the horse was a warg too. What happens to the animal's mind when a warg takes over? I am not sure. Is the animal conscious of the person taking over their body or are they just "asleep"?

Don't even get me started on this guy!
-
Wylis did not come across as a very bright kid in the Bran warging flashback, but something definitely happened to him along the way. He displays signs of PTSD.
-
OK, there's another theory about Hodor. When they were kids, Wylis & Benjen went north of the wall and saw something shocking/horrifying.
It was so shocking that it caused Wylis to stop talking (except the word "Hodor" of course). Perhaps he was traumatized so much because he didn't know how to fight (because Old Nan wouldn't let him learn).
It caused Benjen to join the Night's Watch and became a ranger, either because it was so terrible that he wanted to try to help stop it or because he actually met the Night's Queen and joined the rangers to try to find her again........and in fact he did find her and she turned him into Cold Hands.

Hodor probably met his real parents (giants, obvs) and then witnessed them having sex.

Warging is stupid. Having Warging be super common is even stupider
There are up to 4 people in all of Westeros and Essos that might be wargs. 2 of them were born like 50 years ago and 2 of them were born within the last 20 years. So, not that common.

say what you want about warging, but that prologue chapter in a D with D with Varamyr was awesome

I remember something about this guy actually being a member of the Knights Watch some like 1000 years ago and he's been biding his time after a huge battle. IDK but it is probably awesome and crap is gonna get real. I think he ate a bad sandwich or something and left the wall. Also a girl was involved or something.
-
yeah isn't he a Stark or something
-
iirc, he was one of the first commanders of the night watch. Found a wildling girl, when north to be with her. Abandoned his job, or something. Also, I also think I remember them making reference to the fact that they think he was a stark.
-
He is the Night's King. He was a LC of the Night's Watch 1000 years ago (or so). He went North and met a white walker woman (Night's Queen) and she turned him into that thing. Then he went back to the Wall to rule as the Night's King for a while until he was ousted.
Some people think he was a Stark. (Others don't.) Some people think that there isn't really just one Night's King, but that the Night's Queen chooses a new Night's King every once in a while....and some people think she chose Benjen Stark....and some people think she's about to choose Jon Snow.

OMG, what would happen if a warg warged into a dead white walker horse?
-
Ladygooch failed to mention that wyllis + hodor =~ white horse
-

And Lyanna's horse is white. So I'm pretty sure that Wylis warged into her horse because he wanted attention from her.

She sounds like an important character in how this thing will play out. Wonder why we haven't met her yet?
Also, can we talk about how rough ridin' stupid the name Wylis is? And are we so sure that Wylis and Hodor are the same person? Bran made that assumption in the flashback but that doesn't mean he was correct.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it was already known that Hodor's real name was Wylis. That may be from the books.
-
In the books, his name is Walder.
-
you're thinking of Frey.

In the books, his name is Walder.
Too many Walders so they had to change his name on the show to avoid confusion.

Hodor is likely a descendant of Ser Duncan the Tall.

No, Lancel was there with the wine. It was a secret warg that Cersei had killed later.

I think this whole season is goining to be great. I read somewhere that HBO said there are only going to be 13 more episodes after this season. Given how much is still developing and up in the air, to wrap this all up in less than 2 seasons means it's going to be a sprint from here on, imo.

Dany - you still suck and storyline is boring. Nobody likes you.
Kevan Lannister is easily my third most favorite Lannister. Glad he might be getting more screen time.
Tower of Joy. I liked the casting for Dayne. Not so sure on young Ned. But maybe. The whole two broadsword thing seemed a little sand snake choreographed, but ok. 3EY says Howland is Meera's father. I don't buy it. We shall see.
The High Sparrow is a good actor and they're really trying to make that storyline into something. But it just kinda bores me.
Jon gonna go kick some ass, and wildlings are coming with him. But what's Ed supposed to do now with his half-dozen Brothers?

Ned clearly heard Bran talking to him from the future, which means Bran has the power to change the past.
Also the "written history" of Ned vs Arthur Dayne was obviously untrue, and now there is a person who was not there who knows this.

Peeling their skin off and rape of course
Good thing Reek already escaped or he would be punished for lying about killing Rickon.
I thought he told Ramsey he didn't kill Rickon.

So, who was the "Oathbreaker" in last night's episode as per the title of the episode?
1. The traitors who were executed because they broke their oath to obey the LC
2. Jon Snow for leaving the Night's Watch
3. Arya A Girl because she is going to end up killing more people on her list
4. Dany because she is going to leave Vaes Dothrak against the rules
5. Howland Reed because he stabbed a guy in the back
6. Sam because he is not keeping Gilly with him as promised
Jon. Although he technically died for a bit so his watch ended.

Yeah, I agree that Jon didn't break his oath since he died.

jon executing the oathbreakers was a direct echo of ned executing the oathbreaker in S01E01. pretty great work, cinematically

Is Jon Snow going to go off and sulk somewhere or kick extreme amounts of ass?

Odds favor sulking

Gonna take him a long while to get over his forced hair removal.

He's probably going to sulk in between ass kickings.

All those "cut to Olly" scenes that we were forced to sit through. WHO GIVES A crap WHAT OLLY THINKS OF THIS SITUATION, SHOW DIRECTOR; HE'S A KID! Olly was a fuckboi if there ever was one in GoT.
-

Olly deserved to die.
I think Olly was (1) a child, who (2) had a personal and intense dislike for wildlings because he watched them murder his parents, and (3) got swept up in a coup because of items (1) and (2). I'm not in favor of hanging children, especially in that situation.

OK, maybe deserved is a strong word, but he needed to die. The punishment for being a traitor to the LC is death. You can't keep a traitor around, not knowing when he is going to stab anyone in the back, just because he is a little young.

The North remembers. I think the Shaggy Dog head was a fake. crap will go down at Winterfell before Jon gets there, if that is where he is headed.
Also, KSUW, Westeros is not earth. The kids all deserve to die if the writers deem it so.
Warging is awesome.
-
You guys are a rough crowd. I've enjoyed pretty much all the scenes. Seems like three hours well spent so far.
Except for the Dany stuff. Woof. There's not much suspense when the mother of dragons can have her dragon swoop down and carry her off to safety whenever she's ready to leave.

This show marked a turning point in the season. After the first three episodes went at breakneck pace and provided a very satisfying answer to the Season 5 cliffhanger, this episode significantly slowed down. I don't mind that, per se, but whereas similar "reset" episodes in the past have been driven by great dialogue and intrigue, this one just didn't have it. It was really kinda crappy. No sand snakes, at least.
The Mereen and Kings Landing stuff is getting tedious. The one character that significantly advanced in this episode was Dany, but she's my least favorite of the main characters. The scene also felt a little campy.
The meeting between Davos and Breanne felt perfunctory. The Stark reunion was great for the first few moments, but felt sterile as soon as they started talking.
Question: so did Mormont and Dario pour oil or something on the floor, or did they just bar the doors? I'm trying to figure out if Dany has some kind of built-in magic flamethrower.
Also, it seems like time is advancing by weeks and months in all the storylines except for Kings Landing, where Cersei's trial continues to be "a few days away."
-
I think there was oil in those fire holder things that Dany pushed over, so it spread out over the floor when she pushed them over.

Did you guys see the new red priestess in the preview for next week? I wonder if she is 400 years old also.

Didn't Littlefinger convince the people watching the Arryn boy to also go to war against Bolton? It will be Jon/Sansa/Wildlings (army of 2k) plus the Arryn's men (unknown numbers) vs Bolton's army of 5k.

The best estimate I've read is 2-3 years since the very beginning of the show. But I was just rough estimating a few months since we've seen Bran (in season 4). A few more since we've seen Rickon, I guess.

Yes, but Jon & Sansa don't know that yet and who knows if both armies will meet up at the same time to attack the Boltons. I don't really know how far away the Vale is, but it is possible that Jon/Sansa/Wildlings could arrive to Winterfell much sooner and not have the Vale army as back up.

Do you guys want to hear another theory about how Hodor got to be Hodor?
In Bran's visions, he is actually time travelling (as evidenced by Ned hearing him) and at some point he is going to warg into young Wylis to try to warn his family of the upcoming danger. But for some reason (warging into people is bad, or warging across time is bad) that is going to screw up Wylis' mind and he is going to turn into Hodor...maybe Bran says the word "Hodor" during the warging debacle. :dunno:

I like Yara a lot more than Dany. To be fair, most of my Dany dislike dribbles over from her POV chapters in the books, where her thinking is annoying as crap. But overall, if she was killed and we could focus back on Westeros, about the only character I'd miss would be Mormont.

mormont is about 10x more annoying than daenerys. he's one of the most worst people in either the book or show.

Come on, guys, he just got kicked in the head by a horse...

Ok, yes it's more complicated, but I don't think they are going to do anything where Bran actually alters history (especially in a way that actually explains events that previously happened) by time traveling. Time traveling plots are ridiculous and mostly circular. If GoT starts going the parallel universe route I might be done with it.

Also, what do you guys think of the idea that when the Mad King was hearing voices it was actually Bran talking in one of his time traveling visions?
Why the eff would Bran begat the very circumstance that eventually caused almost all of his family members to die?

Osha deserved to die. She had one rough ridin' job to do! :curse:
If she was relying on a knife that just happened to be laying on the table of a room that she was forced to go into, that wasn't a very good plan to start with.
Her one job was to protect Rickon.

Do you guys want to hear another theory about how Hodor got to be Hodor?
In Bran's visions, he is actually time travelling (as evidenced by Ned hearing him) and at some point he is going to warg into young Wylis to try to warn his family of the upcoming danger. But for some reason (warging into people is bad, or warging across time is bad) that is going to screw up Wylis' mind and he is going to turn into Hodor...maybe Bran says the word "Hodor" during the warging debacle. :dunno:
So, Hodor helps Bran get to the tree where Bran learns to time travel, and while time traveling he wargs into Wylis and turns Wylis into Hodor, who later helps Bran get to the tree to learn to time travel?

I like Ramsey more than Goffery. Ramsey is pure, unadulterated psycopathic evil. Goffrey was a spoiled toddler.

The Lord of Light is legit, and seems to be the most powerful.
Kind of a dick though.

Is this a trick question? If not, then I have no idea.

No, not a trick question. I just looked it up and they worship the Old Gods of the Forest (which people seem to just refer to as the Old Gods). I'm pretty sure they are in charge of warging, so those are my favorite gods.
-
The many-faced god is the coolest. The most lame is the lord of light. I don't think the 7 gods actually exist, so they don't count.

I'm not claiming to know WHICH god is real, just that some god is real. If I had to guess, I would say the Old Gods because they are more like nature and that could explain all the things. Also the white walkers ARE the zombies. The Others are the ones who are raising them. Maybe the Others are gods (or maybe just their leader). Or aliens.

Fireproof-ability could just be genetic mutation. White walkers could be the lord of light too. That guy is pretty twisted.

Always get all those confused.

I thought they got all the faces from that hall? If you're saying they can impersonate someone who is still alive then I'd just say they have enough of a database by now to have a dead person's face who just looks like the alive person. As for the last question, you can tell they are sticklers for cleanliness, so that's easy.

OK, sorry you are right. The zombies are wights. The ones creating them are Others (but the Wildlings call Others White Walkers).
Also, if there were no god needed then why did Melisandre need to pray to the Lord of Light to get stuff done?
-
How do you know she had to?
-

Pretty sure Magic by it's definition is supernatural, so it has to originate from outside of nature. Call it whatever you want, but most people tend to refer to that source as a "god." I mean, if it makes you more comfortable you could just call the source some alternate dimension that is somehow accessible from people in the GoT world.

Actual magic doesn't exist in our world, it does in theirs. It's useless to compare the two
-
If magic just exists then who determines who is able to use it?
-
Who determines if you have any ability? Who determines if you are male or female?
-
So, despite people in both worlds explaining supernatural events by godly intervention, and despite neither population of either world claiming magic exists independent of gods, you're going to say it's useless to compare the two because magic exists there and not here?
-

2. The many-faced god

This is nonsense, try again

I'm just saying, why are you so dismissive about magic existing here, but so convinced it exists in Westeros without divine intervention?

I guess lib is dating that magical ability is genetic? Do Westeroes have an extra chromosome to determine if they can do magic?
So previous Starks were wargs. Maybe it was Lyanna who warged into Hodor and screwed him up.
Do you think Melisandre's mom was a witch 300 years ago or is she still alive?
-
Good God discussion tho.
Top 5:
1. Based God
2. Young God
3. Godspeed You! Black Emperor
4. Charlamagne tha God
5. Godsmack
Seriously tho, the old gods are probably behind everything and will somehow make their presence very clearly known based off a couple themes in the show. People said there weren't White Walkers. They were wrong. People said that giants don't exist. They were wrong. People in Westeros have kind of nailed the whole "prove it" thing only to have things generally proven.

Horse and Wylis simultaneously warged into each other, like a Freaky Friday type situation. It sounds like "Hodor" because that's what a horse sounds like through human vocal cords.

Sure as hell looked like Ned knew he was there, and the white walkers know he is there (from what i can tell in the preview). Warging into a time traveler who is warging with the world is probably how Bran became Hodor tho.

The 3ER said "the past is already written; the ink is dry." One of those statements may be incorrect. Also, pretty clear that Bran is much stronger than 3ER.
This excludes the possibility of predetermination/fate. In the original history Ned jerked around because he heard a voice cry out "Father" that he couldn't explain, it just took some 20 years for the event to come around full circle. Bran was predestined to have done that, even before he did it. The ink is not only dry on the past but on the future (or at least some of it).
Also, re: magic or gods, after you guys are done, can we discuss who would win in a fight, Batman or Superman? It seems like the direction you're headed.

GMAFB. Superman wins and it's not even close. Probably because he follows the old gods tho. Batman for sure is a new gods type of guy.

Wow. Did not see that coming. I liked it! Also did not see the WW-COTF connection, or that WWs can sorta transcend time/space. I liked those, too! This one was great overall.
Only bad things:
1. Kingsmoot - dumb.
2. Crow's Eye - horrible miscast, the guy looks and talks like a fat loser.
3. Totally unnecessary, random, and bizarre dick shot. It's as if the show runners are getting tired of being criticized for all the T&A, so they just said "ok assholes, here's a penis! Happy now?" No, not happy. It's stupid. This show is too good for that kind of stupid.
4. Jon's a bit broody. Hey show runners - we got it, now stop making jokes to the audience.
Littlefinger's still evil as eff, right?
-
why hello there, carcetti
-
can't wait to see the new red chick's boobs
-
They did an alright job with the Hodor thing, but I'm still pretty pissed they went with a time travel plot.
And yes, no more gratuitous dick shots, please.

People who freak out over penises are just the worst

on a different note, that ep confirmed that sansa is prego, right?

I think that warty penis will be the tool Arya uses to kill that actress.

Certainly hinted at it. We might get to see some westerosi 'bortin

kinda disappointed i can't really read this thread anymore now that i know who these people are :frown:
-

i didn't take it that way during the episode, fwiw. i thought she meant he was just really rough with her and it messed her up pretty good.
it could certainly mean she's pregnant though.

On a lighter note, I really enjoyed this moment last night:

^ yes that was an outstanding moment

Just saying it was dumb. It was not related to any plot (big deal, whatevs), and it was like a full frame shot. Plus, it's not like women are really clamoring for more dick shots in the show. I cannot think of who would have appreciated that waste of 3-5 seconds other than maybe a few gay males.

i thought it was hilarious.
go ahead and just abort this sock account, edn.

Most of the nudity in the show actually serves some purpose - usually sexual manipulation or violence, but at least some purpose to the story. I don't recall anyone complaining when the guy in the crowd whipped it out during Cersei's Walk of Atonement. Because it served a purpose - it was part of her humiliation. This was just "look - a full frame shot of a penis!" That's dumb.
-
Penis :runaway:

Some really misogynistic douchers up in here.

I'm also generally in favor of less nudity overall in the show, but I get that some forms of it are a draw for some folks.

You two deserve each other, woof

Please stop talking about how weiners offend you so that this thread doesn't turn into something awful.
I'm still in mourning over hodor. So sad.
I hope we get a lot more bran. His story is a lot of fun.

Mrs. Gooch missed last nights 'sode. :lol:
-
I enjoy that the white walkers were created by the children of the forest as protection. It makes them more interesting imo that they were a creation and not just a natural thing
-
I didn't quite follow how they created the white walkers. Like, did they ever actually do any good or just immediately started murdering everything? It seems like a super poorly thought out plan unless something happened that caused the white walkers to start going after everything.

I just watched it during my lunch break at work.
1. Thank god no one was standing behind me at my desk when that dick shot happened.
2. So Hodors' condition did have something to do with warging, just not exactly how I thought. So Bran was warged into present day Hodor and the past at the same time and past-Wylis got sucked into it somehow.
3. So the Old Gods must be real if the Children had the power to create the Night's King. (P.S. I wonder if that guy was a Stark before they turned him.)
4. Was that direwolf Summer? He looked really white.
5. I did not get the reference to Sansa being pregnant, but now that you mention it maybe. I thought she was just saying that the physical trauma to her body was so bad that the pain of it is still there.
6. OMG why did Hodor have to die?????? :bawl:

Yeah, I've done a 180 on Bran. His story was the most boring part of the show prior to this season, but now it's my favorite story line.

I think all the story lines are pretty great. The Greyjoys story line might be my favorite next to Bran because I'm curious if they will be the ones to help Daenerys across the Narrow Sea. Where is Theon and his sister going with all the ships? :fatty:
-
Bran's story is the most interesting, but I really hope they reign in some of the ridiculousness before we find out Bran is actually Ned's father because time travel.

Lol that you believe a ton of this show but draw the line at time travel

Lol that you believe a ton of this show but draw the line at time travel
For me it's right up there with "it was all just a dream." So yea, there's the line for me. Maybe Bran will go back and stop the red wedding from happening, or murder the Mad King as a baby. What then? GMAFB

I don't think Bran is going to cause things to happen that didn't happen. I think it is going to be revealed that he was the cause of things that did happen (like what happened to Hodor). Like maybe he will cause the Mad King to go mad.

What if Bran was controlling Jaime Lannister the day Jaime pushed Bran off the tower? Bran paralyzed himself! :surprised: and :fatty: at Bran wanting to get some Cersei via Jaime.
-
I don't think Bran is going to be controlling Jaime, but it is possible that future Bran accidentally alerted Jaime to young Bran's presence. (i.e. Jaime wouldn't have looked up except that he heard a noise which was actually created by future Bran.)
-
I always assumed (or was it described in the books?) that the Iron Born actually did CPR on the people after they drowned them..................So is the Drowned God real then?

That's what makes it stupid though. If those things didn't actually happen in the past but then happened as a result of future Bran's intervention then it's not true that it "already happened." It's an alternate universe. There has to be some universe where future Bran didn't intervene because he was only present Bran. In that universe the future would have to look different than what this one looks like.

4. Was that direwolf Summer? He looked really white.
6. OMG why did Hodor have to die?????? :bawl:
I thought it was Ghost at first too.
Hodor :(. So is it time for Bran to fly? Because like how the hell is he getting out of there without legs or Hodor?
I think Benjen Stark is finally going to reappear in some form to save the day. Because Meera is not getting very far with that travois.

So anybody else agree that the Crow's Eye actor was a shitty casting choice?

No, he was fine

No complaints. Pretty hateable guy.

lol @ caring about the eye actor and a penis. Like, wtf
Also, was bran warged into hodor the whole time? Or did he just eff him up for the rest of his life for that one moment?
-
Arya watching a reenactment of her dad getting his head chopped off was kind of lost in the drama of the rest of the episode.
-
I don't even think Bran was warged into young Wylis. I think he was warged into old Hodor and just the past vision thing in general. And then that caused something to get crossed....
-
Surprised mich hasn't brought up the fart machine at the theatre yet...

It looked like old hodor snapped out of his simple mindedness. His eyes went worg white but then went back to normal a second later and then started whomping ass. So I'm not sure bran was controlling old hodor at the end, he might have just been watching the past
-
Pretty sure you're supposed to think he was warged into old Hodor at the time, which kind of explains the eyes as well Wylis being able to hear.
Which brings me to the other thing I hate about this whole time travel situation. Bran warged into Hodor because Hodor was basically incapacitated out of fear (presumably because of the whole "hold the door" incident), but he wouldn't have been that way if Bran hadn't warged into him, which Bran wouldn't have had to do if Hodor hadn't been that way.
But I'm not that pissed about the scene itself because I thought it was beautifully done.
-
Surprised mich hasn't brought up the fart machine at the theatre yet...
It seemed appropriate for that type of show. They weren't exactly producing an HBO drama.
-
All the other times people/animals have been worged into it's been from their perspective I think. I don't think Bran was in Hodor but rather a weird 3rd perspective of the incident. So much chaos was going on that it fried Hodor in the process and set him on this path, which then begs the question about causal loops in time travel.

I am pretty sure Bran was warging into Hodor while Hodor was fighting off the wights. It was exactly the same as when he warged into Hodor at Craster's Keep - Hodor's eyes went white for a second then back to normal except not simple-minded.

Do you guys want to hear another theory about how Hodor got to be Hodor?
In Bran's visions, he is actually time travelling (as evidenced by Ned hearing him) and at some point he is going to warg into young Wylis to try to warn his family of the upcoming danger. But for some reason (warging into people is bad, or warging across time is bad) that is going to screw up Wylis' mind and he is going to turn into Hodor...maybe Bran says the word "Hodor" during the warging debacle. :dunno:
So, Hodor helps Bran get to the tree where Bran learns to time travel, and while time traveling he wargs into Wylis and turns Wylis into Hodor, who later helps Bran get to the tree to learn to time travel?
Come on, guys, he just got kicked in the head by a horse...
It's got to me more complicated than that or they wouldn't have made such a big deal about it.
Also, what do you guys think of the idea that when the Mad King was hearing voices it was actually Bran talking in one of his time traveling visions?
Why the eff would Bran begat the very circumstance that eventually caused almost all of his family members to die?
Well he isn't going realize what he is doing when he does it. He is going to be trying to warn someone of something.
So maybe Bran is going to think he can stop all this by going back in time and warning King Aerys that the White Walkers are coming and that they need to send word North to burn all the bodies.......but the king just hears "burn them all" and starts burning people alive (like Ned's father & brother).

I think this is right. I'm pretty sure that Bran's presence in the past and future caused him to warg into not only present day Hodor but also Wylis, making Wylis aware and live his own future death.
Really weird though. Why didn't he just stopped his vision quest and returned to the present day danger?

I suppose it's also possible that Hodor held them longer than was shown. But not likely because those zombies are a feisty bunch.
Also, how stupid are the rough ridin' rules of the cave? Oh, we're 100% safe here eating moss until the white dude touches you in a vision and then he can be there in like five minutes and have free reign of the place? GMAFB

just saw the episode last night. not boring at least. not really about the episode, but from the preview - littlefinger's "time to join the fray" = time to join the freys? seems like the sort of Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) punny foreshadowing the show writers would think is clever.

I really hope this isn't the direction they go, just having Bran Mr. Magoo everything in the past which screws up the future where he feels compelled to go back in time to fix everything he screwed up in the first place.

OK, so let's talk about the ridiculous travel times.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KAqa9wwODqaFkegqf8Si6fmuE55-M-GMIj0ZmcKUFxs/edit
It is about 650 miles from Winterfell to Castle Black, so it should have taken Sansa 16 days (even if she was pushing her horse for 10 hours per day) to get there.
The distance from the Vale to Mole's Town is about twice that (plus over mountains) and Little finger was traveling with a larger party. (Plus, did he stop in the Riverlands to find out about the Blackfish?) So it should have taken him at least 36 days to get there, and that is assuming he had replacement horses and could therefore travel 12 hours per day.
-
I thought the wall was only 2 day ride from winterfell. Also kings landing to winterfell is a month for king Robert in the first episode so I doubt the vale to winterfell is longer
-
I don't even think Bran was warged into young Wylis. I think he was warged into old Hodor and just the past vision thing in general. And then that caused something to get crossed....

I think this is right. I'm pretty sure that Bran's presence in the past and future caused him to warg into not only present day Hodor but also Wylis, making Wylis aware and live his own future death.
Really weird though. Why didn't he just stopped his vision quest and returned to the present day danger?
Because he had to mess up Wylis - that's the time loop thing. If Bran had just left the dream and warg'd normally into present day Hodor, the event would not have occurred to turn Wylis into Hodor in the first place.
It is pretty clear that the 3ER knew what was going to happen, which is why he urged Bran to do what Meera said instead of shoving Bran out of the dream to do it normally. Somehow, Bran's warg'ing of present-day Hodor from the dream only worked because Wylis was in the dream to act as a conduit, which mumped Wylis up and turned him into Hodor.
The problem with the time loop is the bootstrap paradox. If each event causes the other event, then how could it have ever started? It is illustrated most simply with the chicken/egg question. But as others have said, I'm not that annoyed by an impossible time loop because it was beautifully executed.
-
I thought the wall was only 2 day ride from winterfell. Also kings landing to winterfell is a month for king Robert in the first episode so I doubt the vale to winterfell is longer
But the Vale has a bunch of mountains to go over, plus you have to go around a bunch of water (The Bite?), or else go over the water but then that means you have to get ships or a ferry or something which would delay your travels.
Where are you getting the 2 days ride thing?
-
I thought it took jon/tyrion 2 days to get to the wall in s1/book 1. Maybe it was 2 weeks

in addition to the whole time travel deus ex machina, i didn't like that everyone was all "hold the door, hodor" a thousand times when he held the door. like what an bad person thing to do. trick/force some Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) giant into killing himself to buy you a couple of minutes. the child that blew up, the ravenman and the wolf all willingly sacrificed themselves and no one was egging them on. but with hodor it was all, "come on hodor, hold the door. do it, big man, hold the rough ridin' door." they weren't even guilty or conflicted about it.

pretty par for the course when it comes to servants v. lords.

Awesome episode.

It isn't clear to me if Bran left Hodor's mind toward the end. Maybe he did and it was actually Hodor himself holding the door. Not sure. BUT we all know that Hodor would have done anything to save Bran, so he would have been willing to sacrifice himself. Also, by saving Bran he basically gave his life to save all of Westeros since Bran is going to eventually beat the White Walkers.

Anyone else think Cersei's plan to have the Tyrell's move their army in against the sect is entirely to have said army then destroyed? She's always scheming against everyone else, so I see this as her likely end game with them. I realize this was not the last episode, but whatever, I just watched 5 and a half seasons in 2 weeks, so everything runs together.

I feel bad that he had his mind and his life stolen from him as a child. At least he got to go out like a badass for a noble cause.

I think the main benefit of bringing in the Tyrells is to destroy the Faith Militant. That's hurdle number 1. Any damage to the Tyrells is just gravy. But I still think Cersei is getting her trial by combat.

Was it just me or did it look like the White Walkers catch up with Bran immediately in next weeks preview?

I don't know how they possibly wouldn't catch up when you just have a teenage girl pulling a crippled boy through the freezing cold. Someone else has to jump in there.

I thought it took jon/tyrion 2 days to get to the wall in s1/book 1. Maybe it was 2 weeks
GRRM has said Westeros is supposed to be about the size of South America. If you project Westeros over South America and measure a straight line from Winterfell to the Wall its about 1000 miles. So, its a hike

Yeah, but when people are in the same place and/or know about events that happened in other places, they must be happening at the same time.
Littlefinger told Robin that Sansa had escaped, when they were in the Vale. Then he shows up to meet Sansa at Mole's Town. Those two times must have been synced up. So are you saying that Sansa has been sitting around Winterfell for 3-4 weeks talking about what to do?
-
In the books they reference a fortnight a lot which is supposed to be equal to 14 days.

I'm saying those times aren't necessarily synced up. And keep in mind that sansa did have time to make a dress and that scarf thing for Jon.
-

what do you want, a few episodes of horses trudging through forests? or just a quick shot of an hourglass between scenes?
like of all the myriad logical flaws this season is committing, the fact that time must be passing without comment is the absolute least.

yes, minor characters do tend to selflessly sacrifice themselves to advance the plot in lazy writing.

They don't sync up? So, by magic, Sansa and Littlefinger just appeared in the same place?
OK, maybe Sansa was there for a few weeks. I forgot about the stuff she made.

I think when Tommen had his little chat with the High Sparrow and then told mommy afterwards, the High Sparrow might have told him about Loras' confession(which may include the Tyrell's plot to kill Joffrey). Mommy then comes in, has the Tyrell's basically start a war with the people of the city who laughed at her, the Faith, and the Tyrell's and tries to kill off 3 birds without throwing a stone. But we shall see. The High sparrow is mentioned in the episode 6 and 7 preview text, so he sticks around at least a little while longer.
She may get her trial, but in the end, even though most would say the prophecy would likely point to Tyrion killing her, I think Jaime ends up doing the deed since he is technically her younger brother by a few minutes.
-
the small council being pushed into an offensive against the faith mil is the stupidest of all the stupid crap this season. "oh, what's that evil queen that we petulantly refuse to stay in the same room with? the high sparrow has imprisoned our youth and brainwashed the hand's kid? that's shocking news, but what's to be done? oh, you're right, we do have a gigantic army, what a clever plan."
-
the whole faith militant thing is stupid. I must have been not been paying very good attention to when they got so much power because it just seemed like *poof* this guy wearing a burlap sack is rough ridin' running crap and there's nothing the goddam king's army can do about it.

to be fair, the army prolly could do something about it, but the super persuadable king that no one else in the world listens to asked the hand not to do anything.
i agree w. the suddenness of their appearance, but really that's kind of everything in the show isn't it? i'll give them some leeway on needing to compress.

Cersei has to have something else in mind as well. I mean, I am not a plotting royal and I think it a top 2 or 3 bad idea to invite someone else's army into your city and have them get all worked up and win a small battle and stuff. I mean, she may invite the Tyrells to just take the thrown by force.

Well Cersei helped the Faith Militant gain power because she thought it was going to help her oust Margaery.

I don't remember who played Benjen in season 1, but that Joseph guy has the look of a Stark.

I think the Bear will head to Oldtown looking for a cure, where he will meet The Slayer eventually, which will tie in Jon and Dany's storylines.
I don't think The Onion Knight leaves the North anytime soon.

Right - but that doesn't actually mean he found a cure. It was a nice story to tell his child, whom he loved (before putting her to the torch a few epis later). Maybe this is getting too far into book territory and hasn't been explained in the show, but I'm pretty sure grayscale is not necessarily a death sentence for kids.

Yeah, I think the Bran the Builder theories about Bran doing things that happened thousands of years ago probably will end up happening. I just don't seem him making the Mad King go mad unless it happens when he's visiting Winterfell or something.

It was a nice episode, but a let down. The previews and build up made it seems like we'd finally see some murder death kills with the Sparrow. I had hopes for a little more action all around.
-
In retrospect, there was some good stuff here, but yeah it sucked overall. Biggest problem was it felt like they spent half the episode in King's Landing. The Tommen/Sparrow/Cersei storyline is tedious and lame. But silver lining: Jamie is headed to Riverrun to hopefully get back on track with the books, which is a far better treatment for his character! Welcome back Frey - that was good.
Sam and Gilly was ok. So nobody seems to have a problem with Sam breaking his vows with wife/child thing?
The great Uncle Benjen reveal fell flat. It felt perfunctory and overly talky, just to move the story along.
Arya was pretty good. At least we're finally moving on.
So sick of Dany. What a crap character and crap story. Why did they close out the episode with a scene that did nothing? They were already headed to Mereen. The hord was already following her. So she gives another pep talk in dothraki? But she was on a dragon this time! Stupid.

Is Margaery really brainwashed or is she just pretending to be brainwashed? She's just pretending, right?

Was that the first time we've seen the Mad King? If so the way Bran's visions went it really does look like he's saying "burn them all" in reference to the White Walkers.

That was a really good episode. Those of you who disagree are mentally deficient in some regard.

I'd really like to see less clumsy work with Danery. Oh on one side we're talking about building 1000 ships and hooking up with her. Oh look, now she needs 1000 ships. This show is better than that, even if it's superficial.
I'm really wondering about that theory that the mad king went mad because of a bad worg like Hodor. Cheapens the story a bit if they start getting into shitty time travel paradoxes, IMO.

As the title of the series indicates, the ending will principally involve Jon and Dany. I expect Dany to play a lead role at the end, but stop wasting precious showtime on her boring crap until she gets to Westeros.

ways to improve game of thrones (stop it from sucking complete ass).
1. kill sam&gilly.
2. less dumb illogical crap in general.
3. more game of thrones/political machinations stuff, less zombie/time travel nonsense.
-
Speaking of illogical stuff just with respect to Sam/Gilly...
1. Why does nobody have a problem with a SBotNW having a wife and child?
2. Why does Randal Tarley hate wildlings? He's a southern lord who has probably never seen a wildling.
3. Why is Sam still as fat as the day he entered basic training?
4. How is Sam going to become a maester in enough time to be any help at all?
-
Sam and gilly better turn into dragons during some experiment gone wrong at the citadel. Otherwise, they should def be killed off. It's going to be even worse if Sam becomes some bad ass with daddy's sword now. Ugh. Just makes me sick thinking about it.

1. the tv show dispenses with details like that whenever it's convenient.
2. why does trump hate mexicans? hatred is just for fun, mostly.
3. he sits around all day having interminably long boring conversations with gilly and eats extra bread.
4. he won't. didn't jon just send him south to keep him from dying since he's of no use in fights?
-
stealing the sword was actually a neat thing to do and my favorite thing sam has ever done. i wish it had been made a plausible action by some prior character development, but at least he finally did something interesting.

undoubtedly someone who has been galloping for hundreds of miles with no idea where he is will randomly intercept his path five seconds before he's captured. i can't even blame sam for counting on being rescued. it's pretty reliable.

Calling it, Heartsbane will be used to kill the Night's King, not necessarily by Sam, but will be a shot right in the chest, bringing around the dragonglass scene full circle (The magic of the children made this monster but its the magic of men that will end him) Because the showrunners, lacking any source material are writing this crap off of drunk half formed GRRM cliffnotes on the story's conclusion.

Quit being mean to Sam and Gilly, they are adorable.

All the lords had bastards and raised them in their castles, of course Sam's mom and sister didn't get pissed at him. They were probably convinced he was going to die a virgin and were happy to have something new in the most gigantic random castle ever. And obviously Sam's dad wasn't exactly cool with the whole sitch.

And I still don't understand the faith militant thing. I thought Cersei already set an alliance between them and the throne? Or did she just arm them?

in the end? is there an end? i'm not buying it.

she armed them, but they hate her. if they had a deal, they have rationalized ignoring it due to her sins.

All the lords had bastards and raised them in their castles, of course Sam's mom and sister didn't get pissed at him. They were probably convinced he was going to die a virgin and were happy to have something new in the most gigantic random castle ever. And obviously Sam's dad wasn't exactly cool with the whole sitch.
the whole story opened with father stark beheading a man for breaking his nightwatcher oath. it was given to us to understand that it was sort of a big deal.

it gives his father, who hates him, an excuse to kill/exile/rebuff him. he's supposedly smart, although almost everything his does is stupid, so he presumably could have come up with a better plan.

And since then they have shown that desertion is about the only oath they take seriously. They didn't care that Jon was tapping ygritte because like everyone else was tapping molestown hoo-ars

Yeah I think Ned had to kill that guy because he abandoned the Night's Watch. Sleeping with girls isn't really a big deal.

tapping randos doesn't interfere with watching the night. huddling with a gilly and rearing her child does.

This ep was alright, although I could use less emphasis on Sam and Gilly. Something tells me they are doomed, but you're supposed to get attached to them so that when they're killed it feels like a bigger deal than it is.
Also, kind of weird to have that emotional scene with Dany at the end when they're like 2 years away from being able to actually get to Westeros with an army. Kind of cool though that her speech was almost a mirror of what Khal Drogo gave way back.
Also still very interested to see what happens to Arya, although I'm bummed she never finished her training.

Guys, they made a big deal out of Dany's speech because she got her dragon back.

And she was controlling it this time instead of just being along for the ride

OK, so Bran knows that Dany has dragons (I presume that he had not had a chance to catch that on the news yet). Then he sees that 7 pointed star of the 7 Gods/Faith militant over the iron throne, and then he sees Dany walking around in the throne room after she devastated King's Landing.
-
That scene of Dany walking around seems to be the same scene she saw in her vision at Qarth from the House of the Undying, but probably all related. Looks like Kings Landing will be decimated. Dany the rebuilder and savior.

When I think of "named after" I think it as being the same name, not just something off by a couple letters ("oh that's Tim, he was named after my uncle Jim"). Unless I'm wrong and the guy's name wasn't Drogo then why would she not name the dragon the same thing?

Yeah, it's supposed to be a big deal in the books and the show. It's the job of lords to enforce the laws, including NW oath breaking, and Tarley hates his kid anyway, so it seems kinda odd that he didn't even mention it at all. It's just a really odd cover story for Sam/Jon to concoct. "I'm a SBotNW and this is just my wife and child...." It makes no sense.
-
I don't think they ever said she's his wife
-
Just to be clear, sleeping with a woman is not against the oath and Sam did not marry Gilly. So having a child is the only thing he did wrong.
I think his family are the only people he told that little San was his son. I think they should have made it clear that he was only telling his family that Sam is his son and made up something else to tell everyone else. But I think the producers thought that would be too complicated with Sam pretending that his fake son is not his son.
-
wouldn't they know it was an incest baby if he told them it wasn't his and they found out she was a wildling? then they would definitely kill the baby, right?
-

can't. too late for the exemption.
-
Not all wildlings do incest. And Sam wouldn't have told his family that it wasn't his, just like the servants and stuff. (See this is so complicated that you can't even understand what I was trying to explain. That is why they didn't include it. )
-
why would he tell the servants anything?
the weird thing is coming home at all, followed by lying to tell his father he's an oath-breaker. if there was actually any point to him going home (obviously it was to advance the plot device of stealing the sword, but i mean any point to his original motivation) they could have backstoried some reason why his father didn't give a crap about nightwatch oaths or always wanted a grandkid or whatever, but they didn't they just left it as yet another inconsistency in service of the increasingly poorly written plot.
-
Sam is also running out of options of where Gilly and Baby Sam can stay safely while he goes to the Citadel.
-
I think there's a lot of chubby haters ITT and I won't stand for it! :shakesfist:
-
why would he tell the servants anything?
I'm just saying the official public story would have been that the baby was not Sam's. Like Gilly was a farm girl with a baby who Sam just saved and was finding a place for her or something.

i doubt if the public gives a rat's ass.

I think it was more about showing how "by the book" ol' Ned was as warden of the north. But yes, also to highlight that the mysterious evil lurking beyond the wall and the importance of stopping it, regardless of what the folks in southern Westeros think.

probably true. In the end Cersei eventually regains control of the capitol, watches it crumble. Her son the king dies, she is killed by one of her brothers. Jaime becomes a footnote or dies, Tyrion becomes a drunk politician, oh wait... Jon Snow is not Ned's son, but rather the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna and is the prince that was promised. Daenerys wreaks havoc with her dragons, becomes a brutal conqueror and not a savior as everyone so hoped. Bran either accidentally manipulates the past, or uses it to defeat the walkers. Sansa, Arya, Rickon. Who knows, they'll do something important I'm sure, or die. Baelish will continue sniveling around Westeros. Sam and Gilly, still wandering around. Maybe he imparts some knowledge on someone who cares. Catelyn Stark comes back as a cold hearted b. And they all live crappily ever after. Oh, Final cut-scene to a lone white walker heading north planning his eventual return.
game over.

Why not just warg into Dany if she's somehow a bigger threat?
-

warg into her dragon, force the dragon to buck her off so she falls to her death, then fly to horn hill and use it to burn sam & gilly to death.
-
I don't think you can warg into a fully functioning sane person. Maybe if Dany goes insane she could be warged into?
Also not sure on the proximity requirement of the warg and wargee.
-
before bran warged into hodor nobody had warged into a person. basically i think you are a warg hater and underestimate the power of warging all the time.
-
warging is a more useful skill than not burning. maybe the dothraki will overthrow daenerys and proclaim bran their khal once they see him grab a horse or two.

Episode 8: No One
Summary: “Tyrion finds cause for concern. Cersei prepares for the worst. Sansa takes control. Arya is not alone.”
- I guess from that we can surmise Arya survives at least a little while longer. If not, it's a lot of wasted screen time for a character they are just going to kill off after not doing anything of note with her.
Episode 9: Battle of the Bastards
Episode summary: “Ramsay surprises his audience. Jon retaliates. Dany is true to her word.”
Episode 10: The Winds of Winter
Episode summary: “A queen comes forth. Euron reveals himself. Brienne meets a friend turned foe. King’s Landing awaits justice. The Night’s Watch gathers."
-
We haven't lost a main character in two weeks so I'd say we're due next week.
-
If Arya dies I am going to be so upset.
-
Does she find syrio in braavos now? I can't think of anyone there to help her
-
Oh, the theater troupe, obviously
-
Short of some sort of magic, she's going to die of internal bleeding. Like the Hound said when he and Arya came upon the gut-stabbed man: "that's not going to get better."
-
Maybe Arya is the waif and she's just having some sort of Fight Club mental breakdown. The waif killed Arya and now she's no one.
-
This isn't lost
-
Jaqar told Waif to not let Arya suffer, but Waif stabbed her in the gut and twisted the blade. I wonder if this might have been Jaqar testing Waif? Might be significant.
-
I would think multiple stab wounds to the gut should be 100% lethal in this time period.
being stabbed to death all over isn't 100% lethal in this time period, as long as someone mumbles the right words, so there's no real reason to think multiple stab wounds to the gut and a quick dip in a filthy urban canal would be that dangerous.
surprising that living again isn't more widespread, but i guess there isn't much demand.
-
that frey dude sure is a cunning old bastard
-
The freys are pig aggie
-
dating thread got me thinking... pretty impressive precision shaving technology the ladies had in that era
-
i don't think she is going to make that early morning ship appointment she set. Good thing she snaked that silver back.
-
People thought that was a good episode? They all seem like crap without book content supporting it. Maybe it was always this shitty and I liked it more because I'd read the books.
I mean, being stabbed to death is basically meaningless, and we got another reference to Jon dying. (at least it was davos that mentioned it instead of Jon whining about it.)
And of course Arya isn't dead. I like, don't care if anyone gets stabbed or gets their head chopped off even more. I have expected Ian McShane to wake up and dance a jig on the rope.
:flush: :flush:
-
Guys, I'm pretty sure Arya was just playing dumb to lure the Waif into a trap. Because Arya had seen that old lady face before in the Hall of Faces (or whatever that big room full of faces is called).
-
I'm sure there is a reasonable (by GOT standards) explanation for how Arya is alive. Like maybe she warged into a fish in the canal or something.
-
Lol
-
Latest theory is arya was jaqar with aryas face, fulfilling when arya named him as her third death.
I could see this happening, but seems like a stretch
-
Didn't Arya get multiple third deaths? Jaqen killed all of the guards so she could escape harrenhall

that's an interesting conceit, but i don't think it explains everything. the books are generally well written, rich in detail, good pace, good development, etc. but the truly unique thing he did was devote an enormous amount of time developing characters that he killed off (and maimed) early in the books. this felt shocking to readers since basically no one does this. it gives the impression that any character is at risk (that isn't sustainable in later books, because the important characters aren't really at risk, martin just encouraged readers to misidentify who the important characters were at first, but as you get later and later in the story, the readers will eventually focus on the "right" characters). the earlier seasons of the show followed this formula, and at least to nonreaders, it had the same effect.
the later seasons (and possibly forthcoming books) have crap all over this. they now follow the formulaic tv/movie standard where important characters face seemingly impossible risks and somehow miraculously emerge unscathed. minor characters are introduced for the sole purpose of having them killed to reveal the emotional complexity of the important characters (hello tedious group of religious zealots the hound befriended and then couldn't hear being massacred while he chopped wood for countless hours a few hundred meters uphill). characters make stupid or out-of-character decisions whenever convenient to the plot. logical inconsistencies abound.
i'm still attached to both the characters and the plot, so i keep watching. but i can recognize that the show i'm now watching is horribly written drivel.
-
In the past 10 episodes of so, the show has killed off Stannis, his wife and daughter, Barristan Selmy, Doran Martell, Myrcella, Roose Bolton and his wife and child, Alliser Thorne, Hodor, Osha, and two direwolves, all of whom are still alive in the books. I consider several of these to be important characters - particularly Stannis. So your complaint about the show not killing enough characters just doesn't wash.
I'm fine that none of the principal "good guys" have been offed recently. That worked well early in the books for the reason you described - GRRM's misdirection as to whom were the important characters. But that model isn't sustainable now that we're approaching the final act. The final act will sort out the remainder of the main characters - we're just building to it.
I expect the remaining books will follow suit. You really think GRRM is not resurrecting Jon Snow? Please. Moreover, much of what we're seeing this season seems to be a logical extension of where the books are headed. It makes sense that Jon is marching on Winterfell. It makes sense that Ramsay has murdered his family and seized control.
This show has made mistakes. The biggest was the deviation they took with Jamie's character, reconciling him with Cersei. Thankfully he's now back in the Riverlands where he belongs. But it's still the best show on TV. It's going to bring home 20+ Emmys this year. And it has made a number of significant improvements over the books by tightening certain storylines. For example, Sansa and Littlefinger in the Vale.

i expect he will be resurrected in the books, but not without significant cost and he will not be unchanged/undamaged by the event. and the process will not be something anyone could do in their mother's basement but no one else bothers with because living isn't that big of a deal for non jon snows.

Well he did turn emo on the show so I wouldn't say he is unchanged. Also stupid man bun. :Yuck:

Yes. For the most part the show has made good decisions on when and how to depart from the books. It'll be a little weird of the shows have a completely different ending than whenever book 7 is finished, but I assume GRRM had shared the broad strokes of what he intends to happen.

I really, really have liked the bran stuff and wish there would've been more time spent there rather than in bravos. I also wish we would've spent more time in the cave before the zombie chase scene, but the Hodor and Benjen stark parts were amazing. I literally stood up and fist pumped after that episode. I don't care much about arya or the hound so I really didn't like episode 7.

Weird that people can like the exact opposite things on GoT. The most exciting moment of the season for me so far was seeing the Hound alive again.

So when Arya gets back to Westeros, what's her first stop? I'm thinking Walder Frey.

jon's not dead was resurrected so that he can go fight Ramsey Bolton, a terrible human being
dany found her dragon after she convinced the entire Dothraki nation to follow her by being impervious to fire
bran can shift time, learned the origins of the single biggest threat to all of Westeros, and learned that his uncle is not dead as previously believed but is actually the single best person to help him fight the biggest threat to Westeros
sam stole a sword which is one of the few weapons left that can kill the single biggest threat to all of Westeros
arya left the learned assassin skills so that she can complete her mission of killing all those on her kill list
hound's not dead and is probably on his way to fight his resurrected brother
tommen believes in the seven gods which is really rough ridin' up Cersei's plans

Was hoping there was going to be a better explanation for how Arya didn't die. You don't get stabbed multiple times in the gut and then not only don't die but go for a jog the next day. Especially not because an actress "patches you up." Basic stuff like that should still make sense, even in a show with dragons, zombies, and all the rest. So that was really dumb.
Tommen throws an unexpected curve ball! What is the rumor Qyburn is talking about?
Blackfish should have gotten in the damned boat. I liked that character. Was also hoping Jamie would be headed in a different direction, but looks like no Lady Stoneheart so I guess he crawls back to Cersei again. Too bad.

Episode summary: pretty great chase scene from a Jackie Chan movie

oh crap, she's sliding under a cart! whoa!

i really like arya, and i'm happy she's gonna go to westeros (and presumably kill people). but, yeah that was incredibly and unnecessarily stupid. the whole story arc would be just as good if you don't have her get stabbed in the gut first, so why do that? just to ruin it for people who aren't good at suspending disbelief?
the whole jaime attacks the tullys thing is also just so stupid. it's like the writers hate their fans.

I'd guess the rumor is pertaining to all the wildfyre that the mad king planted under the city is still there. Jaime never told anyone about it except Brienne.
-
a lot of the Arya stuff dragged on and was total bullshit (the "chase", what the eff was that? the Waif was far better than that and we all know it. not very believable. Arya should be dead.)
with that said, VERY excited for Arya to eff some crap up back at home.

If Beric is still alive, I don't think they're bringing back Cat. Too bad. I'm looking forward to learning where that goes in the books. Will be super awesome if she's reunited with Sansa or Arya. Or Jon. "You were brought back from the dead? I was brought back from the dead, too! Lord of Light? No way!" Both share a good laugh.
-
Agree that the chase scene was dumb and unrealistic. The waif girl was good enough she'd just come back and find Arya another time, not chase her for a mile to murder her in front of a crowd.
Other than that, pretty good episode IMO. Looking forward to the hound and Arya getting back together.
-
I was a little disappointed that Arya really was surprised by the waif in the previous episode (when she got stabbed) and it wasn't a ruse to trap her. Not sure how long Arya was at the actresses house, maybe she had been healing up for a few days but still pretty unrealistic that she could move so fast.

It's the best show on tv, but that doesn't mean it doesn't occasionally do something stupid. Arya's miraculously healing tummy and ensuing chase scene was dumb. If you can't figure out a plausible way to get her out of the situation, don't gut stab her in the first place.

another thing about Arya. her 20 mint jaunt through the streets like a panicked little fraidy cat (all whilst carrying her sword), seemed a bit inconsistent with the character I thought she had become after more than a season with the Faceless Man. I mean, talk about 1 step forward, 2 steps back!

don't think she was carrying the sword, at least i didn't notice it and it looked like she pulled it out from under the rug when she was cornered by (or where she lured) the waif.

I think the idea was, she was punished and made blind and therefore had the upper hand in the dark(although the waif was always more badass than Arya so I figured she could fight blind as well)

HBOnow down for anybody else?
-
woah
-
Ramsey got off easy. He deserved so much worse.
-
The North remembers.
-
Pretty great episode guys
-
Man that was good.
Long game I hope we don't have the Starks/North against Daenerys.
-
why didn't sansa tell jon about littlefinger and the knights of the vale. seemed kinda important.

She was trying to get him to meet with Little Finger but it wasn't even on his radar. I bet right after their meeting at the end of the night she rode out to get Little Finger's army. Did you catch the after episode preview? They get into the trust stuff.
-
no i didn't see it, i watch on hbo
-
After the credits are done they have a 2 minute-ish preview of the next episode. It's on the Hbo Go feeds too. I'll leave it there so I don't give any spoilers.
-
My god that was great. My favorite episode of the entire series
-
What an ep guys
-
Also p excited for Asha and Dany to get down

:Keke:
-

Because that would have ruined the surprise for Jon (and us). Basically one of those completely nonsensical things necessary for the story.
Jon charging the entire Bolton army was likewise pretty dumb. As was "digging trenches" - in frozen ground.
Other than those things, solid episode. That long-shot battle sequence was amazing. Ramsey's end was satisfying. I was hoping there was going to be more to the Umber/Rickon thing, but I guess not.
Oh, and Davos found the stag. I guess that's the end of Mel....
-
I was hoping there was more to Rickon's character. Great episode though.

you missed a lot of the points they were making.
Getting the army shows that Sansa is a leader, Snow is a general. They were right to dig trenches, and Snow did exactly as Sansa predicted and fell into his trap. Also why the eff didn't Rickon toss in a couple rough ridin' zig zags!
-
Meh.

I might rewatch all 6 ep 9s sometime

This show needs to be on more than a couple months a year.
-
Of course an army arrived to save them right at the last minute. :rolleyes:
-
the episode didn't try to be smart, so all the stupid crap felt appropriate. i guess that makes it the best episode of the season.
-
Let's have some more snark, Mich. Let it fly. This is your time to shine.
-
So satisfying

Yeah I kept yelling at Rickon to zig or zag but he never did. :bawl:

Strange that Jon didn't even bother bringing Ghost.

I wasn't surprised when The Vale showed up. I was just pointing out why Sansa didn't tell Jon ahead of time. It added drama, but made zero sense "Jooooon, we need more men (even though I secretly know I've got a whole freakin' army on the way, but I don't think I'll tell him that)!"
Digging trenches by hand in frozen ground is more or less impossible.
I expected Jon to fall into a trap, just not so stupidly as he did. I was expecting a double-cross. Single handedly charging the Bolton forces, even after Rickon was killed? That was uncharacteristically stupid and bizarre behavior.
The shot Ramsay made was impossible anyway - Rickon had to have been over 100 yards away by then, running over uneven terrain - so it's not like adding a few zags was going to make the shot any harder for Ramsay's supernatural archery abilities. And why didn't Ramsay then kill Jon with another of his trick shot arrows?
So yeah, whole lotta stupid in this episode. But the battle and Ramsay's end was fun to watch.
Did Rickon utter a single word this season? I don't think he did. It's interesting that they brought back the same actor to reprise the role but didn't give him a single line.

What happened to ksuw to make him such an unhappy person? Drugs?

Rickon Stark only existed so that he could die in that scene. He was completely irrelevant for the first 58 episodes of the series.

What Direwolves are left? Just Jon and Arya's?

i don't remember what happened to Bran's direwolf

Speaking of the kid sacrificer, what is going to happen next week when Davos confronts her???
-
I'm thinking Daenerys' story is done for this season outside of hopefully showing her and Greyjoys sailing to Westeros.
Knowing the visions Daenerys and Bran have had of Kings Landing, plus the discussions of Wildfire stashes....I'm predicting it will go up in flames with Cersei in the finale.
I'm hoping (but not predicting) that they show significant flashbacks that finally reveal the truth about the Tower of Joy.
-
Those Vale assholes should have minded their own damn business. My Guy Ramsey had won fair and square.

what they did to Ramsay was wrong. House Bolton will rise again.
-
seemed like the Vale showing up late was Sansa's plan. Does seem odd that this plan was intentional, given her pleas for more men. But, with all the dialogue about knowing Ramsey and knowing his tendencies, it seemed like Sansa was plotting her own trap for Ramsey. She also led the Vale charge.

Sansa wanted rickon dead so she could rule winterfell. She won't let Jon have it
-
rickon was a weirdo anyway. he enjoyed hanging out in the crypts as a kindergartner
-
Digging frozen ground is not impossible if fire is used to thaw the ground beneath it.

my favorite part was when jon whined again about being resurrected.

It was really hard on him and he's not gonna go through that bullshit again

Sansa will end up with Winterfell and Casterly Rock. Her and Tyrion will end up back with each other. Both master manipulators by then.
-
was winterfell really worth dying over? not imo. it's slightly nicer than aggieville. i'd have let ramsey keep that ghetto and find a nicer place.
ohh look winterfell, i want winterfell so freaking bad!

the ice gate fared better when attacked by giants, but there aren't any giants anymore so :dunno:
winterfell is warmer, i'm gonna go with winterfell.
-
They should go take over that place Sam was from. That place looked warm and nice. Also the lord is missing his sword so taking it over should be a breeze.
-
Jaime will have to take his army to winterfell now, won't he?
-
i wonder if jon will find longclaw or if it's gone
-
I don't think he lost it
-

It's going to show up conveniently when someone needs to kill a white walker.
-
just like Ghost is going to show back up the next time Jon is getting his ass kicked in one-on-one combat by the crippled King Slayer.
-
I don't think he lost it
I was sure he lost it when he almost got crushed, but now I am wondering if this in Longclaw in his hand at Winterfell...
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
I don't think that is Longclaw's handle but the image isn't really the best.
-
Yeah, doesn't look like it. I'm sure he'll find it tho
-
That is 100% definitely Longclaw.

longclaw's cross guard isn't gold

I'm a few episodes behind. Kind of lost interest lately. Not sure if I will watch anymore until I feel like a binge.

So I just caught the end of the replay tonight and Jon def has longclaw when he starts chasing ramsey back to the castle. Case closed

I think Jon does pretty well with the cards he's been dealt. He's just not smart enough to learn magic, so he had better be good with a sword.

she looks like draco malfoy in that photo

Don't forget that Littlefinger promised Cersei that he would take over Winterfell in exchange for a royal decree making him Warden of the North. So, is he now going to try to take it over from Sansa? And put her head on the spike?

More like his p in her v, then bran is discovered and littlefinger is El mumped
-
or bran wargs into littlefinger to eff sansa and the resulting incest baby is the monarch of the north.
-
Is Bran on his way to Castle Black or what? His story was finally picking up and now we haven't seen him the past 3 episodes.
-
Little Finger is def going to try to force marry sansa.

gonna have to fine a new guy (or gal) to hitch my wagon to as know stud Ramsey got completely screwed.

I'd prefer for him to stop being Cersei's bitch, ergo less evil.

You prefer boring crap

The king's landing stuff this season has taken a lot of criticism, but I really enjoy it. Cersei is such a train wreck. Hopefully her trial has a big payoff.

I think Jamie being his own man and doing his own things is a lot more interesting than skulking around Kings Landing as Cersei's lapdog.

asha (yara in the show) has potential but she might not be bright enough

well then they need to fire the game of thrones make up artist because they're doing a crap job comparo'd to whoever did her for the emmy's
smdh, total vixen
-
Cersei was under a lot of stress when she was imprisoned so it might have taken a toll on her looks.
-
Cersei will probably get a whole lot hotter after she kills the high sparrow and that bitch who chanted "shame" at her.
-
Cersei's getting old and losing her looks, just like Mags told her, and she's super resentful about that.

lulz ok guy

I'm not sure there is anyone with consistently worse takes on GoT than KSUW.

why do some people think that jon is a Targeryen

Book reasons

why do some people think that jon is a Targeryen
it's the Tower of Joy situation. We still haven't seen how this plays out, but the thought is that Ned is far too honorable of a man to have banged some ho during the war, and that, instead, when he reached the tower of joy and found his sister, Lyanna Stark, with a baby. That baby is theorized to be Lyanna and Rhaegar Targaryen's child. Lyanna asked Ned to take the child and treat him as his own to protect his nephew. Ned, being the super honorable man that he is, lied to everyone in order to keep his vow to his dying/dead sister. If true, Jon Snow is the song of fire and ice, the first union of the northern house of stark and the southern targaryen. Gets pretty intricate in terms of clues and depth, but that's basically it in a nutshell.

jeez, he's such a dumbass. tough to believe he is some sort of chosen one. it's not like they have dna testing back then, no one would believe such a tale.

i saw something that the producers said jon has been suicidal and depressed since his resurrection, which is supposed to explain both his incessant whining about being alive and his incredible dumbassedness.
it's a more or less believable concept, and i'm gratified that they're trying to explain those things, but i don't think they did enough to clue the viewer in on jon's supposed post-resurrection depression. he just seemed like a whiny Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

If the dead can't go south of the Wall then there shouldn't be any issues. Unless the rules of magic suddenly change for no good reason, which has never happened before so pretty unlikely, right?
-
Arya was my favorite part. Although the septa thing was pretty good too.
-
Maybe with the 1000yr winter snow is high enough they can walk over the wall broette, ever think of that?
-
That was just so much great stuff
-

Didn't they show that it already changed when the white walker kings crossed the barrier into the tree?
So maybe the resurrected dead white walkers can't cross but the Kings can? (Since they were human and turned?)
-
Now we are never going to know what Margaery's real plan was.
-
That was the best epi since last week
-
We got two happy endings in a row. They're getting soft
-
I want to like Sansa, but I don't trust her any farther than I can throw her.
-
Did littlefinger basically swing and miss there
-
Littlefinger doesn't swing and miss without messing stuff up later though
-
Maybe the best episode of the entire series. Will now watch again.
-
If the dead can't go south of the Wall then there shouldn't be any issues. Unless the rules of magic suddenly change for no good reason, which has never happened before so pretty unlikely, right?
Fan theory is that once little (now marked) Stark crosses the wall it kills the magic. See the hollow they were safe in until he was marked.
-
I'm loving little lady mormont putting all the lords on blast at the end.

Yes. The little lady is great and I wanted to know what Margerie had planned too. Also two brothers are going to be hands of Queens and face off.

Cersei going Mad Queen after being completely torn apart by the Faith was fantastic. Also can't want to see what a rebuked Little Finger schemes up, he probably has the strongest army in Westeros right now.
Not for long. Season 7 will likely begin with Dany & Co. arriving in Dorne.

Also Tywin's last words were "You are no son of mine" right before he got murked on the can.

yeah maybe the mad king aerys somehow got Joanna pregnant despite there being no evidence or hints anywhere, other than the dragons did not kill the guy who took off their chains

Tyrion is a lannister
I agree, but there are reasons why some people (mostly book readers) believe otherwise.

OK, so how is it that Cersei was first in line for the throne?
This article from a while back shows she was the heir to the throne...http://mashable.com/2016/05/03/game-thrones-heir/#yrij1B6PKuqj
But only because Jaime was in the Kingsguard. After Tommen kicked him out, doesn't that put him back in line for the throne before Cersei?
-
If Tywin were raising a secret bastard, I think it would be better storytelling if the bastard were Jaime. That way his only real child would be the one he hates. I think all 3 are Lannisters, though.

The Baratheons hold the throne, not the Lannisters. Cersei is a Baratheon by marriage.

The window of a king doesn't just get to be Queen in her own right. That's not how it works. The article explains that going back in Robert B's lineage, the next available living line is the Lannister line that ends in Jaime/Cersei.

She has the crown because she has the power, smdh lady gooch
-
If Tywin were raising a secret bastard, I think it would be better storytelling if the bastard were Jaime. That way his only real child would be the one he hates. I think all 3 are Lannisters, though.
That would be one helluva a twist considering Jaime and Cersei are twins :D
-
OK, so how is it that Cersei was first in line for the throne?
This article from a while back shows she was the heir to the throne...http://mashable.com/2016/05/03/game-thrones-heir/#yrij1B6PKuqj

Well, really, what is she queen of? She can declare herself queen of the seven kingdoms all she wants, but with the north claiming independence and Dorne and the Iron Islands (probably Highgarden, too) allied with Daenerys, she really only is ruling King's Landing and what Arya left of the Freys. She won't have the title for very long.

look, it was a good episode because there was enough crap happening that the viewer didn't get bogged down in all the illogical stupid crap that transpired. but there were still heaping shovelfuls of crap that didn't make any sense. that's what the show is all about.

Why does Varys call Tyrion "Lord Hand"? He isn't lord of anything. Do you get to be a lord just because you are hand of the King?

Seems like it would have been more efficient to just meet Dany in Westeros.

Jamie better recognize who wears the crown.
i'm still thinking that Jaime and Cersei have a falling out and that opens the door for Jaime and Lady Brienne. I have thought that since they first met.

someone should be there to meet them, since by their relative speeds the dragons should be arriving about a week before the ships. unless they get tired and drown, of course. i don't know much about long-distance dragon migrations.
-
I thought it was just a few day's voyage. The narrow sea is like 2 days maybe + maybe 5 in slavers Bay? Ships go pretty fast.
Of course the season will probably open with dany losing 3/4 of her army to a storm or something
-
I thought it was just a few day's voyage. The narrow sea is like 2 days maybe + maybe 5 in slavers Bay?
i really have no idea. just noticed that the dragons were about 5x faster. maybe there are islands where they can stop and wait for the boats to catch up.
that'd be great if a storm killed dany and her army. even better if bran just wargs a dragon, uses it to kill dany then flies it up north and burns all the white walkers and then they all sit around and drink hot cocoa by the fire for the next 19 episodes.
-
I was wondering if the dragons could land on a boat to rest. They can't just fly the whole way to Westeros without stopping, can they?

I just looked at the map, and if this is true then Dany is already about 2/3 of the way there and should be pretty safe from storms as she is already through all the open sea area.

Joanna Lannister pretty famously died giving birth to Tyrion :dunno:
The theory surround this is that the mad king lusted after Joanna, and did it very openly. This would mean that at some point he raped and impregnated her.

Common misconception. Dragons have almost zero in common with snakes.
They are essentially a genius level platypus with armor and wings. Though, you can make the argument that they are like dolphins, too.

Nah. The show cast Meera to look like Jon's twin - they'll reveal it next season. I didn't see anything in the flashback that necessarily discounts there being another baby in that room. This one is too cool to pass up. Way better than the "Tyrion is a Targaryan" thing.
Also, the whole Kings Landing sequence was amazing this episodes. Arya? Yes. Jon T? Yes. Dany? At least she's on the move - let's get this over with. The best season finale yet? I say yes, even with characters magically teleporting all over the map.

In the books, Willas is heir to Highgarden and Loras is the youngest son. But in the show Loras is the heir so I think that means he doesn't have any brothers.

So it was really snowing a lot and a big blizzard when Stannis and his men died on their way to Winterfell. But then it didn't really seem all that snowy during the Battle of the Bastards months later...............so why is that? The storm let off? They were further south than Stannis? It seems like it should have been more wintry during BotBs.

EXACTLY. So why is that one guy so pissed? It's not like they wasted a child entirely. I would burn a child alive to get rid of all the days in the summer over 90.

I just watched After the Thrones and they didn't address even 1/3 of the things mentioned in this thread since the last episode. So it was pretty useless.

No. Stannis was on his way from Castle Black to Winterfell.
Whoops.

Seems like Davos' freak-out on Melisandre really came out of left field. I mean, they spent how much time in eachother's company between the time of the kid-burning and her banishment? what, had he forgotten about it until he stumbled upon the stag?
-
Or he didn't know. (logical answer)

Yeah he found out in ep9, yelled at her in ep10

Mel burns somebody like every other day, so it would have been my first guess, too.
-
if he'd have been all - "melsie, you're always trying to kill the children of kings and now our king's child seems to have come up dead, hows about you tell me what happened" about 8 episodes back, i'd have found it a lot more believable than the one random old dude who gives a crap about carved deer toys stumbling across the only carved deer toy within a 1000 miles, squinting at it for a bit and then suddenly piecing together a child's murder.

He knew that she needed kings blood, didn't he help gendry escape for the same reason? Or was that just book?

He knew it was Shireen's toy because he made it for her and he found it in the burned out pyre/stake thing. I just don't understand how it didn't burn up.
-
I'm pretty sure you're supposed to get that Davos is suspicious of her as soon as she shows up at Castle Black without the girl. He just didn't have any proof until he found the toy, which I thought she dropped as they were tying her to the stake.
-
I feel like I probably could have made a better argument to Jon for what I did if I was Mel. I mean, she probably wasn't gonna beat the rap - burning a kid at the stake and all - but it really seems like she wasnt even trying to make her case.
-
legally she had every right to kill the child. but that's the kind of mumped up justice you can expect from a deserter.

sam's poop/soup scene :sdeek:

I really did not like that episode and I have really liked most of the show. The cold open was the only good part, but even that I didn't like jump up and go nuts like I should have. One of my least favorite scenes in the whole series was probably that stupid Sam montage. It felt so out of place. I absolutely hated the ed Sheran or whatever cameo. I don't even know anything about that guy, but they clearly just wanted to have a cameo and have it be a wink. It was distracting and I dont think they have ever done something like that before.

If there were a few more seasons to go and they were still doing 10 episodes I wouldn't mind him coming for his sword and redeeming himself in some way. . .but there is simply not enough time to include much beyond the main players.
I am still convinced the destruction of the sept last season was just to get rid of as many storylines as possible before the home stretch.

There's a theory out there that Arya isn't really Arya - it's another Faceless Man pretending to be Arya (Jaquen or the Waif). That wouldn't really make sense unless the Many Faced God just happened to want the Freys dead too.
-
another theory is that when cersei and jaime were boning in S1 E1 and bran saw them, it wasn't really them- it was the faceless man pretending to be cersei and jaime boning and it was the faceless man who threw bran off the tower. EXCEPT, it wasn't really bran, it was the faceless man pretending to be bran.
daenerys targaryen? yep, the faceless man. her dragons? his dog.
basically the show is about a guy in detroit who has schizophrenia and sees all of these illusions around him and tries to hurt himself

It was her wolf. It likes her enough not to eat her but not enough to give up wolf life. Wouldn't be surprised if it pops up to save her in the next few episodes.

Can someone explain the deal with Arya and the wolf. Was that hers and is it supposed to not really like her now that she left it and it has already made a bunch of new wolf friends?
flashback to season 1 when she told ned "that's not me" about being a lady.

Man, I knew there was something more going on there. Pretty cool scene in that case.
-
i'm not saying no one else should be killed before they kill off sam, that'd be ridiculous. but he's not even doing anything dangerous, there just isn't much hope.
-
Sys, hate to spoiler alert you on this, but Sam will be alive throughout. He's the narrarator, and this is his telling of the story.

Who was Sam in the gE thread
-
I liked Episode 1. I liked the Arya scene with the Lannister soldiers. One of the best things about the books (and TV) are the frequent reminders that this isn't all black versus white, good versus evil, and most characters are just people living their lives and trying to do the right thing.
I liked the Sam scenes. Why does everyone hate Sam? The character development and dialogue are what I enjoy most about this show. Some of the battle sequences are truly awesome (Hardhome), and some of them are much more mundane hack-fests (Battle of the Bastards), but the character development is nearly always terrific.
No Dorne in the first episode! +1000!
I don't even like Dany that much but I thought her homecoming was well executed.
I've got Episode 2 on the DVR for this evening!

how about the dragon crossbow that qyburn made. this from a guy who made the mountain, and a big crossbow is all he can come up with to save his people. and cersai acting impressed? that thing sucks.

those dragons don't seem super smart. based on past behavior, there's about a 100% chance they'll skid to a halt and do one of their screech-roars 10 feet in front of the giant crossbows as soon as they get a chance.

I'm going to be really upset if a dragon gets killed.

Well Dish Network sometimes gives us the movie channels for a few days I guess to get us to upgrade to them or something but I usually just try to record as many movies as I can before they disappear. Well anyway, they are doing that right now and I was able to catch the last 20 minutes of this Game of Thrones show you guys are talking about. Obviously I didn't know what was going on but I have a few observations: When I turned it on those wolves were around that girl and I think one of the wolves was super big. Well the wide shots it looked super big but then close up it looked just regular sized so I'm not sure. Also that young lady talked to the wolf like it was a human being. Is she insane or is it like Narnia where animals can understand english? The wolf didn't speak back so I'm not sure. The next scene was incredibly violent when those guys on the big ship attacked the ship which appeared to house a number of LGBT women. This was my least favorite scene of the 2 scenes that I saw. As you know I prefer my violence to be of the PG-13 variety and this was def R rated. I think a guy got stabbed right in his private parts, but then he just kept on fighting so maybe not. I'm positive one guy got stabbed right through his cheek though, which was pretty gross. I don't think I would like this show. Well if I still have HBO next week I'll try to watch a few minutes again to give my report. Thanks.

so he could take the lesbian queens prisoners?
sonofabitch, i thought he killed them all. goddamn and eff.

No, only killed spear girl and whip girl. the hot one, her mom, and yara are gifts.

we're past the books; just tell us. i don't remember anything about tongues
-
Euron's ship is called silence and it's staffed by people he has defeated in battle and then cut off their tongues
-
that's stupid. sailors have to communicate with each other or else they would crash or get lost or drive around in circles constantly. grrm = confirmed idiot
-
Well he cuts out their tongues so they can't talk to each other to organize a mutiny.
-
Look at seamancat over here
-
another good way to prevent mutinies is to not staff your ship with people that all would like to kill you.

I think the guys without tongues probably get rowing duty.

It's also in the show prior to this, kind of. Balon says something to Euron about it before he's thrown off of the bridge.

I forgot that I also saw the scene where that one guy (king?) strangled that other guy because he said something about his sister. So what was up with that smug look the guy that got strangled gave when he was looking up at that girl on the balcony? My theory is that's the sister and he's going to do bad stuff to her while that guy (king?) is away on his horse.
-

All he ever does is talk about how much he wants (or wanted) to bang Jon's mom and sister. It's really weird, but in a pretty funny way. Especially when he insisted on talking about it at Ned's grave.

It took me a while to figure out that you are talking about Jon Snow (King in the North) and Littlefinger.

The king dude's uncle gave the smug dude a huge scar on his smug chest when smug dude tried to slide up in king's uncle's gf's dm's. Then the uncle died and that chick married king dudes dad but it's not really his dad and the king bro doesn't know it

So the king dude thinks he's a bastard son of his dad and some rando but really his mom is his dad's sister and his real dad is the dragon lady's big brother so the king guy is going to go meet his aunt but has no idea that the dragon lady is his aunt.

mad king aerys II had lots of kids; rhaegar was the oldest. rhaegar boned lyanna stark and jon snow was born.
mad king's youngest two kids were viserys (who years later got notre dame'd by khal drogo) and daenerys.
daenerys would have been born right around the same time as jon snow

Episode 2 was fairly bleh. Moving the pieces into position. Jon's alliance with Dany makes perfect sense - but Dany is gonna eff this up just wait and see. Interesting that Arya is heading to Winterfell to reunite with Sansa! I wonder if she or the Hound gets there first? Sam is gonna cure Jorah by skinning him? Gah. Just don't care too much about the iron islanders but I was glad to see the Dorne stuff pretty well finished.

So how do they reveal that jon snow is a targaryan? Does denaerys decide to burn him alive after he won't bend the knee only to find he doesn't burn? Does bran do something relevent for once and tell everyone? Or does littlefinger know and spill the beans? Have to assume it will come fairly soon.

IIRC in an earlier season Littlefinger and Sansa were in the crypts, and Sansa was talking about how Rhaegar "raped" Lyanna. The look on his face when she said that gave the impression that he knows another side to the story than what is popular belief.
Still a stretch that he knows Jon is their love child.

lots of people know that rhaegar kidnapping and raping lyanna isn't really the true story, but robert won the war and gets the paint the history as he likes. I don't think littlefinger knows who jon snow "truly" is, but he certainly knows that lyanna wasn't exactly an unwilling participant.

the ending for the sand snakes was pretty awful. but, I was hoping for something a bit more gruesome - assumed Sir Gregor would explode some heads or something.
also, pretty stupid question, I'm sure, but why isn't Sansa automatically the Queen of the North? Or, notwithstanding Bran being a complete weirdo/creepster now, shouldn't he automatically be King, whether he wants to or not? isn't that way monarchy back then worked?

They both have strong claims, but neither would get the throne unless the sitting king decided to give it to them or they managed to get enough support from local nobles to defeat the sitting king in war. Possession was 90% of the law then, too.

yeah, but how did the sitting king (Jon Snow) get it in the first place - other then being a leader/warrior, etc? as long as the blood line was alive, seems like it would go to the oldest male heir or, if presumed non existed, to the oldest female heir.

The Dany/Jon meeting was realllllly talky. This is arguably one of the most important events in the series so far, and it detracted from the scene that they had to vocalize all of their motivations.
Tyrian is finally getting some quality screen time. :thumbs:
Cersei is at her best as a character when she's enjoying a steaming hot plate of revenge. Holy Cersei! Ditto for Lady O - what a finish. Oh and Euron is definitely getting way better as a character!
So Bran decides to trigger some extremely painful memories for Sansa just to prove he can see stuff? I would have gone with "btw, Jon and Meera are half-Targaryan twins."
And damn - time and space is starting to get realllly flexible in this series. Jon traveling from Winterfell to Dragonstone, Greyworm and Euron sailing their navies to the other side of Westeros, Jorah all healed up. All in the blink of an eye. And the battles in this episode were both extremely underproduced for their significance. Everything feels kind of rushed and slopped together this season - more like checking off boxes.
-
That siege of casterly rock with voice over was the worst scene in the series
-
i wonder if the producers have unlimited $$ to hyper produce all the scenes in the show or if they have to use discretion and leverage their knowledge of what's going to happen in the show when deciding how much time and money to spend telling the story. who knows, somewhat of a big time mystery i've stumbled upon.
-
I won't be satisfied until Daenerys bangs Jon Snow.
-

I understand the logic behind this theory, but there was not a second child in the Tower of Joy scene.

It was pretty bad.
And I get that they don't have unlimited resources - that doesn't change the fact that it looked very slopped togeher.
Back when they had even less money, they were planning on not showing the Battle of Blackwater Bay at all - just describing it in soldiers' reports to Cersei. Glad they didn't do that.
-
With only about 13 or so hours left in the series, time is more valuable resource than money is at this point. GOT prints cash for HBO.
The siege scene could have been better, but there has been little build up for it compared to the other major battles (Blackwater, Castle Black, Bastards) in earlier seasons. Better to just move the pieces into place and continue moving forward.

Right. And it's the Battle for Casterly Rock. Tyrion storming his own castle! I get not showing the battle for Highgarden - totally unnecessary, but Casterly Rock is this almost mythical place in the books (I know it's all mythical) often mentioned but almost never "seen." Maybe it'll stay that way in the books - who knows - but the show really slopped through it.
-
What if the true Battle of Casterly Rock is the one that hasn't taken place yet?
:Wha:
-
I don't care if they show the siege or not but the way they did it was terrible. I mean late seasons of dexter type terrible.

You guys are focusing on the wrong things here.

The show runners basically turning Bran in to Rain Man is very lol.

like his sister hugs him and it does not register at all, then he nerds out trying to explain the 3 eyed raven, then he talks about watching his sister get raped and how beautiful she looked. I mean, what in the world?
-
i liked it. stuff i didn't like were incongruities with previous episodes, where the blame lays more with the previous epis than the current. and sam not dying of his exposure, of course.
i liked the abbreviated battles. i hate those chaos of war style battle scenes like in last episode.
-
I was fine with not showing the battle for Casterly Rock, since they used the explanation of entering through the sewers, plus the Lannisters basically abandoning it as a way to explain how easy it was to take. I was more bothered with how quickly and easily Jaime was able to take Highgarden, really. That is a huge castle that should have at least required a long siege.

When did that happen? Doubt the guy is even on her radar yet. But he probably will be when she gets to Winterfell and finds out he gave Sansa away to a psychopath who raped her.
Beric and Thoros are also on that list, but they seem like good dudes who may be pardoned.

you're right. I for some reason thought he was on the list. You are also right that he soon will be. I still think Arya takes him out before the season ends. Other bold predictions. Jon Snow almost dies again(ok, so not very bold), but of course doesn't. At least 1 dragon dies before season end. Cersei will go through at least one more roller coaster ride before she is finally dispatched. Meaning she'll look like she is close to being defeated only to rise to the top again.

At what point does Jaime end up killing Cersei? This season?

i just remembered Stannis' death was not shown on-screen. we're like 100% sure he's for sure dead right?
-
Yes, ramsay said something about it I think.
-
Brienne bragged about killing him.
-
well of course she would brag about killing him. she was all ready to go, but the camera crew packed up and left before she could do it
-
The show is in wrap up mode so I don't think we're getting Stannis back. Maybe a brief shot of White Walker Stannis if they make it that far south? But it seems like at least a year must have passed by now since his death, judging from other events.
-
what if the red witch farted stannis out of her labia majoris area and then he milled around for a while before taking kings landing. by himself. show stopper type stuff i need to move to hollyweird and become a show writer
-
let's see if anything is worth hating in S7E3

oh I was just reminded about how I don't give a eff about Jorah mormonts disease and how goddam stupid the cut from chopping off his skin to the bowl of slop was. :flush:
-
oh davos with that "I don't know" look
-
that's a shitty cgi dragon
-
has the dialogue always been as shitty as this conversation between the bald dude and the red head chick on the rough ridin' cliff?
-
OH crap SHE SAID HE HAS TO DIE AND IT SHOOK THE BALD DUDE TO HIS CORE
-
HEY DRAGON QUEEN THERE'S ZOMBIES
-
SHE rough ridin' GAVE BIRTH TO A DRAGON AND DOESN'T BELIEVE IN ZOMBIES??????
-
oh lord this "faith in myself" monologue. so rough ridin' boring
-
I'm going to call the dothraki the "eyeliner army™" from now on
-
they didn't kill the sand snake ladies? :flush:
no one ever really dies in this rough ridin' show
-
omg Euron greyjoy is so crude! finger in the bum! lolzies!
-
all that rough ridin' fantasy about killing for a poison death? :zzz:
-
the iron bank guy is a pedophile
-
It's mycroft
-
oh great a "Lannisters always pay their debts" line
I know she was talking a bank but good grief
-
cut to another convo on another motherfucking cliff
-
they do a lot of damn gazing at the water on dragonstone
-
If they knock over another friggin chess piece this season I'm gonna lose it
-
Shitty casterly rock battle montage with dwarf voiceover
-
Did they use the word "impregnable" twice there?
-
lanisters march like friggin dorks
-
The old lady is the only part of this show that is good but this is still pretty boring and she's about to die
-
Yawn like everyone knew she killed joffrey
-
THAT'S IT? NOTHING HAS HAPPENED IN THREE GODDAM HOURS
-
oh lord this "faith in myself" monologue. so rough ridin' boring
I agree. Jon should have done one of those blah blah blah talky hand gestures at that point. Or maybe just interjected with "bitch please, I was stabbed to death. Top that."

Sounds like the rest of this season has now been leaked online. I plan to keep enjoying them one week at a time, like taking sips of a fine wine rather than chugging a bottle. I hope if anyone chooses to watch ahead they'll avoid spoilers or making "predictions."

if anyone is compelled to make "predictions", i hope they have the common courtesy to google the leaked info to confirm accuracy before they post.

The jaime charge would have been exhilarating to read. F you grrm
-
jaime sunk surprisingly deep in water his horse was galloping through.
-
That was awesome. Right up there with Hardhome. I'm guessing Jamie lives but it doesn't look good for him. (That's some drop off, btw - he gets thrown a few feet from the shore into 20-30 feet of water?)
I was sure Bran was going to tell Jon's sister she's Jon's sister. I guess they're saving that for later. Also, if Bran can see everything why can't he see who supplied the knife? (I thought this was common knowledge it was Cersei but maybe I'm misremembering that).

The show is not ready for Jamie to die. Someone has to kill Cersei.

could we talk about the dagger more tho? :flush:

It's going to end up important somehow, a drawing of it was in the book that told Sam about dragonglass on dragonstone
-
Bran didn't give it to Arya by mistake.
-
cersei tried to have bran killed with it, and now arya wants to kill cersei with it. why 15 minutes of screen time for that? :zzz:
-
Someone put Mocat in the Director's chair. I hate Bran and his stupid eyes and his stupid faced tree. Get him off the screen.
-
cersei tried to have bran killed with it, and now arya wants to kill cersei with it. why 15 minutes of screen time for that? :zzz:
I think it will play a bigger part than that. In episode 1 I think Sam was looking through the book and the dagger was pictured. This dagger will probably kill Cersei and Littlefinger, but I think it will also be the template of how they build weapons with dragonglass.
-
Another solid epi but pretty lame ending IMO. It's like, is anyone supposed to wonder whether Jamie drowns or not? My one complaint this season is all the main characters seem invincible. There aren't even that many episodes left.
-

my one complaint is Podrick's lack of progress as a swordsman. man, he sucks.

He is proficient with a different sword

my friend is pretty convinced Raegar is not Jon's father. Lyanna could have been knocked up by Robert Baratheon before absconding with Raegar. i doubt that is the case but w/e.

yeah i know but what has he been up to? he's coming back this season fyi
-
Then I imagine that he will answer your question himself when he shows up
-
i imagine he's been practicing smashing stuff to smithereens with his enormous war hammer that i assume he probably has now, and also slaying dimes 247
-
Gendry's storyline seems kind of irrelevant now since they're not even trying to act like Baratheon is the rightful ruling family and everyone knows about the brother/sister thing now.
-
yeah i know but what has he been up to? he's coming back this season fyi
Are we doing spoilers now ITT or what?
-
No spoilers or I'll let 'clams loose on your ass
-
no it's just my guess. although i haven't double checked to make sure my guess is not correct (sorry sys)
-
also ksuw, why are you obsessed with the meera reed is jon snow's sister idea? i understand the subtle hints in the books, bu the show has offered up nothing to lead you to believe they're heading that way. also what would be the point?
-
What is going to happen with the 100k dothraki? Like they prob can't fight in the north cause they ain't got no clothes. Where do they go after dany rules everything?
-
lol at the idea that dany will rule the 7 kingdoms

The show offered one big hint: casting Meera to look like Jon's sister. That's a pretty big hint. And I don't think they gave her this big a role (relatively speaking) just to be Bran's sherpa. But mainly I just insert this anytime I can to annoy and/or humor people.
-
Gendry is coming back. For what reason is anyone's guess. Maybe he'll be used to forge weapons with dragonglass. I just don't see any importance to his storyline other than he is Robert's last known living bastard. Maybe he is a love interest for Arya(if she's capable)
I would think that if BranRaven had no problem talking to his sister about her horrible wedding, he wouldn't have any remorse telling the girl who has been dragging him around for several years, "Oh hey, BTW, your dad isn't really your dad"
Speaking of that. Do we ever meet Meera's dad? Considering he is the only other living person outside of Bran that know's Jon's parentage. He might be necessary to prove that fact.
Jaime obviously lives, maybe we don't see him in the next episode, but he still has to kill Cersei (she is too paranoid of Tyrion to allow him to be the one to do it) And what does Cersei have to do to finally cause Jaime to snap and not follow her blindly?
The dagger will be used to kill Littlefinger. Beyond that, I'm sure it has some significance with the white walkers. Maybe it is the only weapon that can kill the night king. you'd think Bran would've figured that out by now though.
I thought the same thing about the dothraki. If Dany helps Jon, they better get the seamstresses working round the clock to get them some thicker underwear.
What's with Theon? Does anyone really care about his storyline any more? I'm guessing they're keeping him around so he can sacrifice himself for somebody.
How slow is the Army of the Dead? Everyone else zips around the continent, but it apparently takes them years to march the same distance Meera dragged Brandon in a few episodes. I can't imagine dead people need to stop for food or rest. Unless they are being calculating, waiting for something to break the magic of the wall.
-
sorry but no. cersei is not going to die in this series.
grmm is going to slap the look off of all of your faces when she prevails and jon and dragon lady die from dysentery
-
No spoilers please
-
I also have this feeling that the 7 Kingdoms are going to look the similar as they did before Baratheon's reign. This will all shake out post-White Walker war.
WNK's Prediction by the end of the series:
Winterfell - Starks (duh and with Sansa at the helm)
Casterly Rock - Jamie Lannister
The Riverlands - Edmure Tully (he is still being held captive)
Stormlands - Gendry!
The Vale - Robin Arryn (he is still alive and rightful ayre)
The Reach (Highgarden) - See below.
Dorne - See below.
The Reach and Dorne will go to Dany and Jon's most trusted. This could be those who came over from Essos and/or the Free Folk that were north of the wall.
Others:
Iron Islands - Theon will rule the Iron Islands. His sister will have been slaughtered by her uncle. Theon will end up killing him and will overcome his PTSD.
The Wall - Jorah Mormont will join the wall as a choice and take the reigns like his father before him.
Brienne of Tarth - She will go back to Stormlands or stay with Sansa.
Dany and Jon will be in King's Landing making tons of Targaryen babies. The King and Queen's council will consist of Tyrion, Bran, Varys and Samwell Tarly.
Cersei and Littlefinger will be dead...unfortunately, as will Arya, Bronn, and the Cleganes.
The 7 Kingdom's are united, with the common enemy being White Walkers north of the wall.
If the above doesn't happen, then my money is on the White Walkers killing everyone.
-

Howland Reed and Meera being Jon's twin sister are more book things than a show things. With Meera leaving the show might not further develop that story.
What's with Theon? Does anyone really care about his storyline any more? I'm guessing they're keeping him around so he can sacrifice himself for somebody.
Theon is going to redeem himself by at least trying to save his sister.
-
At this point I'm mainly just interested to see what happens with the hound and Arya so I'd be pretty pissed if they're both dead by the end.
-
Still thinking about how much ass Podrick gets. Basically the Burt Reynolds of Westeros.

well let's see how this episode goes

During the dragon riding, I kept thinking that Dany needed to wear some safety glasses.
-
i think the dragon CGI is awesome :don'tcare:
-
How did Dany suddenly become able to control the dragons? We never saw any training or anything like that.
-
How did sam learn to read? We never saw any training
-
How did sam learn to read? We never saw any training
Sam could read before the show started, couldn't he? (I really don't know.)
But Dany's dragons were clearly not obeying her at all not too long ago. Maybe she was training them on the trip across the narrow sea?
-
Puppies just sort of figure it out, no reason adolescent dragons (draggies?) couldn't as well
-
Terrible Two's obviously.
-
she trained them to breath fire like a long ass time ago, didn't she?
Which reminds me, were the two dorks who planned to steal a dragon part of the show? Or was that just the books? what was the point of that little plotline?
-
The warlocks in qarth?
-
Yes she taught them (at least Drogon) to breath fire a long time ago. But they wouldn't even go where she wanted and not kill people so she and she had to chain them up in a cave (the 2 she could catch anyway).
No, I don't think the dragon thieves were in the show. That was just a diversion to make you think that Dany might hook up with that one kid who was like a Dornish prince or something.
-

Which reminds me, were the two dorks who planned to steal a dragon part of the show? Or was that just the books? what was the point of that little plotline?
They were part of the show. I think the point was to get Dany into that weird building where they could foreshadow a whole bunch of stuff that was going to get cut out of the show anyway.
-
The warlocks in qarth?
No, he's talking about some kid who was hanging out with a guy with a blue beard.

No he's talking about a different set a dragon thieves, I think.
-
The warlocks in qarth?
no it was that dork quentyn martell
-
Wasn't his name Frog or something like that? It's been so long since I've read the books.
Edit: Oh yeah it was Quentyn Martell going by the name Frog.
-

the mercenaries that quentyn rode with to Mereen start calling him the frog bc he's such a huge dork
-
Was there a guy with a blue beard or was that just Darrio?
-
I'm much more concerned with how Dany actually mounts those things without getting cut up by dragon spikes.
-
Was there a guy with a blue beard or was that just Darrio?
pretty sure just daario.
illyrio mopatis has a yellow beard iirc
-
she has three dragons and can only ride one at a time, who is she going to let ride the other two? and will the care to be mounted by someone other than their mother?
the answer is jon snow and samwell tarly and maybe, i'm not sure yet
-
D-boy is the blue beard
-
I don't remember the blue beard. I thought in the books the dragon thief pair included a cousin of hers or something? Not like it matters.
THERE ARE ZOMBIES WE HAVE TO FIGHT
-
can you imagine meera reed being cool enough to ride one of those dragons? because ksuw can and does :lol:
-
I don't remember the blue beard. I thought in the books the dragon thief pair included a cousin of hers or something? Not like it matters.
god dammit mich, it's quentyn martell and his lackeys
-
Dany controlled all 3 at the mereen battle so no need for meera
-
i am pretty excited for jaime to be tyrion's prisoner. interesting dynamic
-
Jaime should bone dany before Jon does
-
#1 She climbs onto Drogon using the spikes as a ladder.
#2 Did either of the other 2 dragons even do anything against Jaime's army?
#3 Obviously Jon & Tyrion are going to ride the dragons since they are both Targaryens.
-
since aerys and tywin and joanna are all dead, how would tyrion find out he is aerys' son?
-
The three eyed raven obviously. That will be his only contribution to the entire series.
-
since aerys and tywin and joanna are all dead, how would tyrion find out he is aerys' son?
Bran probably already knows and he just hasn't mentioned it yet. Tyrion will inexplicably be able to ride a dragon and then in the last episode Bran will say "Oh yeah, Tyrion is a Targaryen, didn't you all know?"
-
Did Cersei just have one giant cross bow made?
-
Did Cersei just have one giant cross bow made?
qyburn said there were lots of them at the dungeon expo '17
-
If Jon, Dany, and Tyrion are all Targaryen's, who is the rightful ayre? Do they create a democracy at the end?
-
Maybe we find out Jaime is the secret Targ. He falls in love with Dany, goes back and strangles Cersei with his sold gold hand, and then flies his dragon straight to the moon so he can light the moon boy on fire.

Question: Why do you think Hot Pie was reintroduced this season?
Answer: He's going to be a Dragon jockey.
-
Whoa, that's not the preferred nomenclature
-
Can you imagine Meera trying to find reverse on a Soviet dragon?

OK. Asian-American.

He's not a Targ so not an issue. Meera is the third. But for purposes of the show it really doesn't matter whether there are two more riders or not. In fact I kinda doubt we'll see Jon or Meera riding dragon style.
-
If Jon, Dany, and Tyrion are all Targaryen's, who is the rightful ayre? Do they create a democracy at the end?
Jon and Tyrion are bastards so Dany is still the heir.
-
A woman heir, lol
-
Wait when did we learn Tyrion was a Targ
-
Never because he's not
-
it's in the epi 6 script.

That was fun. The dragon CGI is amazing.
-
NO SPOILERS, I have done zero leaked episode research, and don't want to know....
...So, tonight does Jamie drown and get revived ala Iron Born? Or, do they get cute and not even address him this episode?
Isn't it time for some Hound, and maybe Arya? I bet she kills him, and Beric and the red priest resurrect him or some crap.
-
Jon is NOT a bastard then?
-
Lol stupid ass sam
-
So who is higher in the succession line? The son of the son of the dead king or the daughter of the dead king?
-
What a stupid sode
-
No spoilers please, watching now
-
It's always the son
-
Holy crap Jaime's alive whodathunkit
-
Is it weird there's a Bron and a Bran
-
Did the shitty cgi dragon get bigger???
-
It's always the son
Yep, that's why there's so much riding on Jon being legitimate. He's the rightful Targ.
-
Is it weird there's a Bron and a Bran
No. Also FYI there are about a million Brandon Starks in the history of the Stark family.
-
Lol the dragon making people bend the knee was pretty friggin dumb
-
Well there go the hilarious Dickon jokes
-
Ok the dragon got smaller when Jon petted it
-
I'm rough ridin' sick of Jorah Mormont and his goddam sad sack pathetic grovelling

How is every book in the citadel old

Oh man what a rag tag gang of misfits going north of the wall. Snooze

Motley Crue
-
It's always the son
Yep, that's why there's so much riding on Jon being legitimate. He's the rightful Targ.
It depends upon if Rhaegar was killed before or after Aeres II. If after, then Rhaegar was king, and Jon has he best claim. If before, Jon's just the son of a prince and Rhaegar's siblings have better claims. I'm sure the sequence of deaths is explained in the books but I'm not sure it's been explained in the show.
-
It doesn't matter, jon has a weiner
-
It doesn't matter, jon has a weiner
Yeah, grandsons are ahead of daughters.
-
The nerds I googled are saying that they follow strict primogeniture in Westeros, which means the line of succession stays with Rhaegar and his descendants even if Rhaegar died before assuming the crown (and he evidently did). Maybe gender plays a role, too, but it is irrelevant if the foregoing law of succession is correct.
Ooooh the intrigue!
But the more interesting part of this episode is that Jon is gonna ride a dragon. And if the show is adding a dragon rider, that means they'll be needing a third. And that means.... MEERA!!!
(https://static-independent-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/i/s/static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_large/public/thumbnails/image/2016/02/17/08/Jon-Snow-Meera-Reed-GoT.jpg)
(Like this except on bigass dragons)
-
Westoros progression seems in line with most European monarchies, in which case who dies when has no effect on succession order. Oldest son of oldest son, 2nd son of oldest son, third son of oldest son, etc until there's no more sons. Then you get into tricky daughter of oldest son or oldest son of 2nd oldest son territory.
TL:DNR John is king
-
I'm guessing not too many Westerosi lords care about Targ succession, any more than anybody but Stannis cared about Beratheon succession. Dany has the dragons. Cersei has the iron throne, the gold, and the allegiance of most lords (for now). Jon has the north. That's all that matters.
I'm guessing Jon's birthright is revealed by Sam making the connection once he somehow realizes the significance of what Gilly said.
By the way, very interesting developments for Sam this episode!
I liked that the writers inserted the "still rowing" fan joke for
Oooh Arya and Littlefinger play cat and mouse.... don't care. Littlefinger has possibly become the most boring character. Worse than Bran.
The "let's teleport Jon north of the wall and rendezvous with the hound" story all seems a bit overly contrived and stupid but we'll see.
-
Littlefinger is doing what he does best. Weaseling around and trying to drive a wedge between Sansa and Arya. I think he believes this is his last chance to get Sansa's ear again. I believe they will eventually figure it out after some tense moments and Littlefinger's run will come to an end. Good learning experience for Arya, finding out she's not the sneakiest little person in Westeros.
The jaunt north of the wall is foolish and Tyrion will once again be played by his sister. She basically said as much to Jaime. Love her or hate her, Cersei is still playing the game better than anyone. Even if they are successful in capturing a wight, do they really think Cersei gives a rip? Half of the group are destined to die in this little adventure. Good way to kill off a few characters I suppose. Question is who? I doubt it is Gendry. Why bring him back just to kill him off an episode later. Although, I was surprised to see Dickon meet the business end of dragonfire so quickly. But really, are we going to be blessed with an episode of them just dragging a wight around westoros to get everyone to believe them?
Speaking of Cersei. If she has said baby, does that mean the prophecy will not entirely come true? I'm guessing something happens before that baby pops out.
And on Gendry, I'm still puzzled at what part he has to play. I still think he might eventually be a love interest for Arya if she can ever get out of beast-mode.
Oh Sam. Thanks Gilly for the little tidbit. Hopefully that was one of the books you brought with you as I'm sure it will be important later. Alas, I don't think Jon finds out he is a Targaryan this season. Next year I suppose. Will the Northern Lords turn on him when he is discovered to be half Targ, and now apparently non-bastard Targ? I still think Howland Reed has a story to tell, but with Bran pissing off Meera, maybe not any more.
And what about the Maester's inaction? If all-seeing Bran really wanted to get their attention, why not send some cryptic message outlining private details of all of them, basically showing them, I can see what you do, now do you believe me?
-
Meera is in my top 3 crushes on the show. :love:
-
It's stupid that Jon Snow, the King of the North, is personally leading this expedition. But I think what makes this latest jaunt north of the Wall so annoying is that it shouldn't even be possible. Characters are traversing back and forth over the continent of Westeros in the blink of an eye, but the Night King, leading an army of the undead that can march without stop, still hasn't even reached the Wall. This army is so slow they were outpaced by a girl dragging a crippled kid on a sled.
Isn't there enough story left to tell without all this temporally implausible globetrotting?
And if Dany has already decided she needs an armistice to fight the undead, then why the hell doesn't she fly her happy ass up there, have Drogan grab up a wight, and bring back the proof? Nothing about this makes any sense.
-
With all this travel happening, there are like months between episodes so Cersei should be popping out the kid in the next episode. (If she is really pregnant and not playing Jaime.)
Hopefully the stupid Brothers without Banners members all die. Do they think they are just going to be able to go grab one wight and not have to face a huge group of them? WTF, Jon Snow knows nothing.
-
It would take like a week to sail from dragonstone to eastwatch, some of you people try to think too hard
-

How long does it take to get from Dragonstone to King's Landing? 5 minutes?
-
By boat? Probably half a day if that
-
Also with 2 episodes left this season this episode was all set up for next week which is going to be amaze. No penultimate episode has not delivered. I'm p hype for it
-
They could save a lot of time by just killing the drunk from the Brotherhood without banners and then bringing his body back home with them. Isn't that how they got the wight in Castle Black?
-
Yes

I suggested this but Gooch says that the Night King has to raise up his hands for dead people to rise into wights. (ala what he did during the Hardhome battle)
-

It looks to be about 250-300 miles on the maps I've found. Are you telling me that Davos/Tyrion can row at more than 30 miles per hour? Even when you add Gendry that seems a bit fast for a row boat.
-
Well Gooch forgot s1

Well they should have because Cersei obviously saw whatever ship they took to get part way there.
-
No negative consequences
-
I had made note of how long it was taking the army of the dead to move on Eastwatch last week. The only thing that I can think of is they are still unable to pass because of the wall's magic, and are waiting for events to fall into place where they can bypass the magic/destroy the wall with a special weapon/etc... maybe we'll find out in the last 2 episodes if that is the case and they need something they don't have yet to get through the wall.
I saw a table of the distance between KL and dragonstone was closer to 100/150 miles. probably take a ship half a day to a day to make that trip.
-
you know the show sucks when the most lively conversation is people trying to figure out how long it takes to sail a boat from town to town, my god
-
Stop watching then
-
It's like watching a B-movie and enjoying it for it being a B-movie at this point
-
Why are so many people confused by the time sequencing in the show? Goodness gracious. There are plenty of things to be confused about. But, a cutaway scene of Jon Snow in Dragonstone transitioning into a scene 10 seconds later of Jon Snow at gates of the wall, does not mean the writers intended for you to believe Jon Snow's journey to the wall occurred in 10 seconds. This general rule applies across all cinema, FYI.
-
I don't get it either. I also don't get how hard it is to pull up a map and look at how far KL is from Dragonstone.
-

Uh, yeah that's what I did.
-
I get that stories and timelines are being spliced and interwoven, but the storylines are also interconnected and related to certain events, so at some point it gets a little ridiculous that Jon Snow has now voyaged from Winterfell to Dragonstone and now all the damn way back up to Eastwatch. He's really racking up the reward points, so to speak. Hopefully he's staying at Wyndham properties.

i would love to watch 4 episodes of them sitting in a boat. :jerk:
question, why do so many not believe in white walkers when there's a gigantic ice wall and the night's watch?
-
Cause they haven't been seen in 1000 years
-
why do they need the night's watch then? protection from the ice gingers?
-
Why hasn't Cersei's hair grown out yet? Are you telling me that she has chosen to keep that ugly haircut?
-
why do they need the night's watch then? protection from the ice gingers?
If you mean the free folk, then yes.
-

The Night's Watch also became the best option outside of death for criminals and rejects in the 7 kingdoms. It was talked about early in the series how the Night's Watch is small compared to what it was generations before. All towers used to be heavily fortified and manned. Up until recently the Night's Watch was really only at Castle Black.
-
Only thing that's really going bug me, is that if Jon is wandering north of the Wall and they don't include Ghost somehow I'm going to be pissed. I get all the reasons they've avoided using Ghost in the show, but based on the entire character development Jon going into the wild without him is completely un fathomable. Even if they just put some blurry white streaks taking out enemies I'll be a little satisfied, but at least acknowledge that Jon has his own big, badass companion creature.
-

Or you could craft the story in a more believable way that doesn't involve Jon and other characters repeatedly traversing vast distances in the blink of an eye while an army of the undead advances slower than a glacier. This latest adventure north of the wall is as dumb as Jamie and Bron's adventures in Dorne (also concocted for the show).

So Ghost and Nymeria are all that are left? What happened to Bran's dog?

He died when Hodor died.

I assume that Ghost was left at Winterfell. Jon just went straight from Dragonstone to East watch so Ghost wouldn't be there with him...
-
Had to google Jon's "I wish you good fortune" farewell to Dany. Turns it its been used twice earlier in the show, both times between adversaries. Odd choice for a budding alliance.
-
Imagine the dub meltdown if ghost teleported to eastwatch next episode :love:

Couple thousand years makes people skeptical (e.g. Western religions, etc). Makes sense to me.

Ghost and Jon have that Warg bond. It wouldn't be at all out of context for Ghost to just take off and through the wall somehow before Jon. It's more out of character for Jon to just leave Ghost behind while ranging north. That would be like Dany suddenly deciding she was going to just wander into Kings Landing with a couple people while her drangons sunbathed on the beaches of Dragonstone.

The books don't explain any of this recent globetrotting, because it isn't in the books. Again, you can say we're only seeing snippets of storylines, but the storylines intersect. So unless the Night King is marching on a treadmill, they should already be in Kings Landing or Dorne by the time Jon skips from Winterfell to Dragonstone, then all the damn way back to Eastwatch for this latest dumb quest.
It's a fantasy series, but even fantasy series should obey the rules of the world they create, and one of the rules is that travel is as slow as it was in the real Middle Ages (unless you've got a dragon to ride). When they repeatedly trash those rules, it just starts to look more and more contrived.
-
Do we know where the undead army started walking from? Maybe the Night King had to go really far north to recruit before he turned back south?

What travel rule has been broken? I personally don't need 3 episodes of Jon riding on a boat to know it took more than 3 seconds to get to eastwatch, maybe your brain just can't handle that.

If Game of Thrones were a videogame, the characters just earned the ability to Fast Travel.
:lol:
-
I think the most logical answer has already been mentioned. The night king cannot cross the wall due to enchantment. So he is letting his army grow and is chilling on the other side of the wall until a) something crazy happens that allows them to break the enchantment (possibly Bran related?) or b) they are waiting for the sea by eastwatch to freeze so they can walk around the wall. It has been stated that winter marches with the night king and the army of the dead.
To that point, the vision that Bran saw in episode 1 with the wight giants is speculated to be after they are on this side of the wall. Many people believe that there might be a psychic battle between Bran and the Night King this season or the next.
I need to go back and rewatch the episode, but I am pretty confident there is a throw away line between Sansa and Arya where they mention that he left Ghost at Winterfell.
-
looking at the map, I don't know why in book 1 they didn't just go to eastwatch and sail to kings landing instead of taking the kingsroad.
why did Robert go to winterfell in the first place?
-
Getting hung up on the travel thing seems like trying to use minutia to poke holes in a pretty enormous show. They could've put a few lines of dialogue in to explain the it a bit better but I'm not going to let it ruin it for me. I was thinking that the Night King maybe waiting for winter weather to push farther south before he attacks the wall.
-
Some of you would eff up a wet dream. :facepalm:
-
why did Robert go to winterfell in the first place?
To recruit Ned Stark.
-

Yup. After his Hand of the King Jon Arryn was assassinated because he was going to tell King Robert that all of his children with Cersei were in fact incest babies with Jaimie. We found out in Season 4 that it was actually Jon's wife Lys who did it to gain favor with Littlefinger.
Robert thought Ned would be a great hand and I think also made used the trip because he wanted to marry his eldest son off to Ned's eldest daughter.
-
Not to quibble (but I guess, yes, to quibble), you all are making excuses for a weak plot contrivance. If Jon has all this time to traipse all over Westeros because the Night King is just sitting around waiting, why does every shot we see of the Undead Army show them marching?
The Night King and Bran's storylines intersect at the Cave of the 3ER. Bran's storyline intersects with Sansa's storyline at Winterfell. Sansa's storyline intersects with Jon's at Winterfell. So this means the Night King is not only moving so slowly that he hasn't reached the Wall by the time Meera/Benjen towed Bran on a sled all the way to the Wall and then on down to Winterfell, but the Night King is still marching to the Wall by the time Jon spends months sailing from Dragonstone all the way up to Eastwatch.
You avoid this problem by doing something at least plausible, like the Night King attacking Eastwatch as Jon is still on Dragonstone or en route back to Winterfell.
-
That's because you assume the dead dudes are marching straight to the wall and you have no evidence of that. They are clearly waiting for something
-

There were no giant wights at Hardhome (that we know of) so that seems very feasible.

Obvs for scenic cutscene and stuff but yeah. Also, those ravens were flying fast as crap and higher than RL ones would.

cant he just see anything anywhere is space or time anyway? why did he have to warg scout all his ravens?

maybe he can only see the past, in which case he could check out where they were 5 and 15 minutes ago use linear interpolation to get a pretty good estimate of where they are right now.

He'd need to use extrapolation.

what if the ravens that bran warged into were actually aria faceless manning into the ravens so she could fly above the white walkers so she could poop on the zombies then take off her beak as she flies away and laughs at them just to piss them off. :lol:

Yea. Once again, this is only a problem if you assume the WW have been marching directly towards the wall the entire time even though the show gives you no reason to believe that and several reasons not to.

The Night King is moving slower than Michael Meyers. The excuse boils down to "well I'm sure he's taking so long because he's doing tons of other stuff we don't know about, like recruiting." :lol: Besides, we all know the Night King doesn't bother recruiting. Like Snyder, he focuses on development.

i agree 100% on how unforgivably stupid and poorly written all the time traveling as plot catalyst is. but i find the galloping through 6 inches of water/falling off horse into 30 feet of water to be way worse. and where/when/how tf did jaime crawl out of the water to start this week's episode? insulting the viewers' intelligence is one thing, these assholes are gloveslapping our intelligence.

IMO neither of these is quite as dumb as Arya being repeatedly stabbed and jumping into an open sewer and surviving. I love this show but I wish it didn't do unnecessarily stupid things from time to time.

You have to be a pretty damn good swimmer to get out with that plus a full suit of armor.

You'd have to be an even better swimmer to pull yourself and another dude out of the water while both wearing at least 100 pounds of armor. Fortunately, Bron is that swimmer.

yeah sounds like d.b.&d just borrowed a page from guy ritchie and some people itt can't handle it smdh

Should have shown Jaime and bronn stripping naked under the water and swimming with gratuitous dick shots

Sounds like those shots would add to the plot.

Anyone who has seen The Walking Dead should know just how hard it is to herd zombies, and The Night King doesn't even have Daryl on a motorcycle. I think he's going to the wall as fast as he can, and he's getting pissed off doing it.
-
Is that why he's always raising his arms up slowly? I thought it was a magic thing but maybe it's more just a "wtf you slow ass wights?" thing.

Yeah, and then Bran keeps showing up, asking "what's taking so long?" His blood pressure has to be super high.

Anyone else have issues with spoilers? On another forum I clicked a tweet and boom e6 big reveal in the title. Why do people do stuff like that. No spoilers means no spoilers! No way I'm watching poorly encoded sound for a couple days advanced viewing.
-
I don't get upset over spoilers but don't actively seek them out. I don't want to watch the episode early more for the fact that it leaves a longer gap between episodes. 7 days is fine. 10 days... it's like the bye week in football.
-
I watched it already and the sound was fine
-
The only time a spoiler pisses me off is when it is contrary to what I want to happen in the storyline.
-
I dislike spoilers mostly because they are distributed by terrible people that I probably would not like IRL.
-
There are some GOT Facebook posts (Like those articles with fan theories) and in the comments people are putting recaps of future episodes. :shakesfist:
I don't know if they are real or people just making stuff up because I stop reading them immediately.
-
I dislike spoilers mostly because they are distributed by terrible people that I probably would not like IRL.
People who get gratification watching spoilers and ruining for others I assume are the same people who bully and have a lot of hidden sadness inside. The whole "if I can't be happy why should other people" type of attitude. :frown:
-
I watched it already and the sound was fine
So how was the travel time in the latest episode? Are some heads going to collectively explode over the ridiculousness of travel times or does everything move fluidly from one scene to the next?

No spoilers. But yes, my head might explode if Jon suddenly teleports to Mereen or Dorne this episode.

Unnecessary.

I look forward to mcat ripping this one up.

pretty fun episode
-
Guys this whole time I thought it was the last season. I can exhale and enjoy the show more now and will rewatch season 7 with a new perspective. I was hating it as it all seemed hurried and rushed.
-
Well, i guess we know what the knight king was waiting for. 1 guess on what will be used to bring down the wall.
-
And, now we know how to defeat the white walkers, just have to kill the original... good luck.
Arya, sansa and littlefinger dance will come to a head in the next episode. Kinda not how i expected it to play out, but still think littlefinger is a goner. Maybe sansa does it instead of arya.
-
Can a cold zombie dragon still breathe fire?
-
Does Arya have to kill someone to take their face?
-
in fantasy they breathe "cold"
-
Has Mrs. Gooch never played Skyrim?
-
Skyrim is the computer program that John Conner is trying to stop, right?
-
beta version
-
Frost Dragons
-
Amongst the interminable muddled walking dead zombie slaughtering, it looked like several of the A Team died, but was it just Thoros?
Ravens fly really fast.
Did Dany bring all three dragons? What happened to the third? I kinda expected Jon to ride it out.
Speaking of Dany, how did Jon know anyone has ever called her that? And there was probably an acceptable compromise between Dany and My Queen, right?
Oooh zombie ice dragon! What will the code word be for frost breath?
Update: So I guess there were one or two unnamed soldiers who went north with the A Team and died Star Trek redshirt-style.
-
Kinda misleading to create the myth of this party of 7 or whatever and then just randomly throw in a couple of dudes to die you didn't even know were there.
-

I'm still in on magic horn thing to bring the wall down.
-

The sound of a certain horn
-
There is zero chance they introduce the horn(s) this late in the show and if they do it will be stupid
-
Jon didn't technically bend the knee, he was laying in bed. Plus he was delirious from being injured. I think he can still take it back.
-

How was I to know that she even owned a winter coat?
-
I tend to agree. I think the horns just aren't going to make it. They probably will in the books though. Maybe mr knight king had been sending scouting parties out looking for said horn until a dragon fell into his lap. That'll do pig.
I think the zombie polar bear was nice foreshadowing to eventual zombie dragon.
Questions for next week.
What will happen between Arya, Sansa, and Littlefinger? No way they build that up all season to leave it at a cliffhanger.
Does the wall come down this season or start of next season? I would guess this season. I think if we go a whole season of winter is here and the dead are still north of the wall is probably a bad look.
What happens in KL with so many main's? I'm sure a pact is made, but does anyone really think Cersei will keep said pact?
Does Sam ever make it to Winterfell and does he figure out the gold Gilly casually laid out to him?
What role does Bran play in anything?
Is Gendry heading to Winterfell to forge dragonglass weapons? Another reunion in the works?
-
Maybe at the end of this season we are just going to see a crack running in the Wall, and we'll know that it is coming down soon.
Why did Sansa send Brienne away right when she realized that Brienne would prevent violence between the sisters? Does she want to hurt Arya?
Hopefully Gilly will somehow hear the name Lyanna and say "Hey that's the name I read in that book."
Can Bran warg into a zombie dragon?
-
There is zero chance they introduce the horn(s) this late in the show and if they do it will be stupid
yeah but they can show the night king riding the zombie dragon and blowing a horn and not have to explain it. did the show explain his magic ice spear thing?
-

I don't remember any explanation about the spear...also don't remember anything from the book, so please remind me. I thought maybe the dragon was just going to turn zombie right when it got speared.
-
The horn isn't real anyway
-
Pretty sure the horn of Jurgen Windcaller is real.
-
The things I am remembering about the horn are so vague...I'm not sure if I am remembering GoT horn or Wheel of Time horn details.

nope there has been no info on the spear in the books or show
-
It's just a rough ridin' spear of ice good grief you guys
-
how the hell would you know
-
So, all those guys should be pretty pissed at the Hound for his stupid rock throwing stunt, right? But I guess the writers couldn't think of any other plot devise to get the zombies to stop just long enough for Gendry to run back to Eastwatch, a raven to fly to Dragonstone, and then for Dany to (almost) get back to the North...and then the zombies suddenly start their attack again.
-
The things I am remembering about the horn are so vague...I'm not sure if I am remembering GoT horn or Wheel of Time horn details.
Mance was looking for it but couldn't find it.
There is also the horn euron has he claims can control dragons.
-
how the hell would you know
Cause I watch the show
-
Night King has a pretty good arm with that ice spear. I guess he didn't think of that while the A Team were sitting ducks on the island. How long were they on the island? I mean, long enough for Gendry to dash back to Eastwatch, send a raven over 1000 miles south to Dragonstone, and for Dany to fly north of the wall. But hey, who wants to see seven dudes sitting on that island for weeks? :impatient: And can't Night King freeze stuff really quick, like small lakes? He was probably busy recruiting.
Sansa chose Brianne because Littlefinger planted the idea that she might choose Arya or at least jack things up in a conflict between the two. I'm still wondering why Arya hasn't killed LF yet - wasn't he on the list?
-
littlefinger swooping in with the knights of the vale bought him a bunch of mileage with the sisters stark
-
littlefinger swooping in with the knights of the vale bought him a bunch of mileage with the sisters stark
Not with Arya. And not with the Vale, who hate LF. Literally nobody likes him or trusts him, but he's still chilling in Winterfell....
-
I don't think he was ever on her list
-
He didn't want to waste an ice spear on a measly human.
I don't think Littlefinger was on Arya's list because she doesn't know he was behind the scenes stirring stuff up in King's Landing.

Didn't watch last night but I feel caught up now!
-
Jon was going to get to hook up with Dany until he bent the knee and then she was like "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"
-
So rumors are next season will be shorter (6 episodes) and will run 80 minutes in length and not 60. So we have 7 episodes to finish out this series.
Does the wall even come down?
The episodes will move at a fast rate like Lord of the Rings movies do. It will have to. We have 8 total hours of show for next season.
-

"Passed" is a past tense verb.

I wasn't super satisfied with the whole night king scene, but I think you could explain some of the apparent holes by the fact that (1) I think you're supposed to get the fact that the night king really just does not care that much about Jon Snow or any of the other mains, and (2) he could have been using them as bait the whole time. I'm not sure that makes total sense though.
I agree the most problematic part of last episode was how they got that thing past the wall. Best I can figure the rules don't apply if you fly over or around it.

They were nights watch dudes that were killed north of the wall but brought back the castle black and then zombied

So like, maybe you can cross the wall while dead but not while undead.

Well the zombie survived last night

Gendry probably ran for about 3-4 hours. Ravens fly about 50 mph.

In the first episode this season it looked like bran was warged into a dead giant (the giants eyes were milky instead of blue), but it's never been said and the eyes are the only thing to suggest it.

So Dany said that Jon is "too little" for her to marry...like he isn't powerful enough to be a good alliance. He's a King. Who does she think she is going to marry that's better than that?

does the show start to get confusing or something? I'm about an epi into the 5th season and this isn't like lost or something it all seems pretty straight forward

He's a pretty illegitimate bastard king of a bunch of hicks up north yelling about ice zombies. Also, he seems to have little or no interest in her goal of the seven kingdoms.
-
Also he's short and tormund said he has a small weiner

It was a short joke. You guys are overthinking it.

I think Tormund was joking but also Tomund has a huge weiner (Giant's Bane) so he probably thinks even an above average one is small.

Nope, the (show) writers said Jon really has a small weiner because he doesn't get to be perfect

Do you think she'll reconsider marrying him when she finds out he is the rightful heir?

In all honesty, I just took it a size thing too.
But there are prob rich families or someone that will net you a couple of armies out there somewhere. Maybe she could marry whoever is in charge of that bank (Mycroft?).

Hmm. Am I the only person who took it that way? Would she really make a short comment to Tyrion?

Dany is a "under 6' swipe left" 'r
-

He was able to see Bran doing his time traveling thing. Maybe he has a similar ability?
This is my theory, that he has some ability to see the world as it is. But like Bran, cannot effect it directly. It is also possible he only gained that ability once he touched Bran. With this way of thinking, the Night King was simply laying a trap with the hopes of capturing a dragon.
On the Arya / Sansa front I think it is all a ploy to convince Littlefinger that he is in control, than *BAM* double cross and Sansa and Arya kill LF and take his face. This will allow Arya to get close to people she needs to kill next season. I can't help but be extremely annoyed by their back and forth if this isn't all them outwitting LF.
-
I was also incredulous initially at her "he is too small" comment. Then I looked up their heights:
Jason Mamoa (khal Drogo) - 6'4"
Lain Glen (Jorah Mormont) - 6'1"
Michiel Huisman (Daario Naharis) - 6'0"
Kit Harington (Jon Snow) - 5'8"

She hasn't seen his dick. But she was staring intently at his hands when he was in bed so maybe she was reconsidering her position...

I'll be honest. I am kind of rooting for the white walkers. I mean, none of the characters on the show are perfect, and when you get down to it they all just want to reign over Westeros, so what makes the night king any worse than the rest of them? Plus he is always so calm and collected instead of whining like the other ones. I cannot think of a great reason to dislike him.

I wish they explained that a little better. It is kinda weird when you got everyone freezing right there. It's like, "boy, now would be a great time for a fire." It sure seems like he can turn it on and off at will.

This is my theory, that he has some ability to see the world as it is. But like Bran, cannot effect it directly. It is also possible he only gained that ability once he touched Bran. With this way of thinking, the Night King was simply laying a trap with the hopes of capturing a dragon.
On the Arya / Sansa front I think it is all a ploy to convince Littlefinger that he is in control, than *BAM* double cross and Sansa and Arya kill LF and take his face. This will allow Arya to get close to people she needs to kill next season. I can't help but be extremely annoyed by their back and forth if this isn't all them outwitting LF.
Bran IS the night king

Oh God. No.

The zombies can just walk around the Wall once the water freezes. Maybe that's what they have been waiting for.
-
If these little spats between Sansa and Arya were all in public, I could buy that it's a ploy. But not in a private bedroom where nobody else would witness. They really don't trust each other. But it'll probably be worked by next episode, hopefully with LF dead, so don't really care too much.
So the new theory for why the Night King has been hanging north of the Wall all this time is that he was setting a trap... for dragons he somehow knew about, based on a dumbass quest to catch a wight he somehow knew would happen. Mmmkay. If the Night King is really clairvoyant that's gonna pose some obvious plot problems....
Oh and Tyrian is advising Dany to walk into King's Landing instead of finding neutral ground?! That's very stupid. I'm wondering if maybe he really does intend to betray her. But I don't see how he would do that if it would help Cersei.
-
Why does the night king have to have been sitting around waiting for it? Imo he just took advantage of a golden oppy
-
I'm gonna watch this now folks
-
why didn't these dumbfucks take a horse north of the wall?
-
oh lol the red head wildling made a gay sex joke tee hee
-
Jorah mormont sucks so hard
-
arya's bow and arrow story is so boring and bad

wow there better be some zombies soon because this crap is booooooooorrrriiiiiiinnnnnnnng

the hound (and davos) are the only remotely tolerable characters in this show rn

oh nothing like a little RELIGION discussion to get this episode going
:zzz:

zombie bear
that one brotherhood guy dying has hair that reminds me of a toddler for some reason

lol listening to littlefinger advice

lol time to fight some zombies, let's head straight to a frozen rough ridin' lake
-
gendry runs like a lannister marches, how is he the fastest
-
lol collapsing 10 feet from the wall, how shitty can this writing get??? :lol:
-
also like that zombie can't break a rough ridin' rope overnight :lol:
-
lol at the new zombie tactic of walking slowly one at a time to a group of like 6 people completely surrounded
-
also how many rough ridin' anonymous dudes were on this mission for zombies to kill
-
zombie dragon and zombie jon are gonna eff crap up now!!!
-
at least uncle benjen was smart enough to bring a horse
-
arya would be too short to just need sansa's face fyi
-
lol this show
-
I know!

i like the swords that catch on fire, p cool looking when they turn them on
this was a highlight I failed to mention, it was pretty awesome seeing the sword fire turn on

I wouldn't say he was sitting around laying a trap, although I did read a theory stating that. For me it's more to the point that they cant cross the wall without breaking the magic of it. Is anyone aware of the magic except Bran, Meera, maybe Sam? I can't remember if others know, or if it is some kind of myth that most don't believe.
My question is how far in the future was the raising of viserion? I doubt they were dragging massive chains with them all this time. Which means they had to go get them bring them back, hook up viserion at the bottom of a lake, and drag him out.
-
Why does that matter at all?
-
arya would be too short to just need sansa's face fyi
LOL I said the same thing.
-
it's magic you idiots
-
Does the Wall magic extend up above the Wall? Or can the dragon just fly over the Wall?
-
Does the Wall magic extend up above the Wall? Or can the dragon just fly over the Wall?
Does the wall even have magic or is it just a myth?
I don't think the wall is magic. It's just a big wall.
-
There's no evidence magic that I recall. Why have a wall at all if you can create a ward?
-
my favorite part of the season so far is the cave drawings
-
Benjen told Bran and Meera he couldn't pass the wall because of the magic the children in the forest put in the base of it. (similar to the magic hiding the 3ER before Bran was grabbed by the Night King). In the books he told Sam this. I'll go out on a limb and say it doesn't extend out from the wall, so one could fly or sail around it.
-

These were not magic
-
Yea, if there is no wall magic then Benjen is really dumb.

Sansa found the faces a little too easily. My guess is that Arya will kill LF, and she wants Sansa to know it was her who did it. But since Sansa is now in possession of the dagger (presumably the murder weapon) she won't be able to prove that Arya did it.
-
The eyes glowed with magic.
-
What if Arya warged into Sansa already and we just don't know it.
-
What if Arya warged into Sansa already and we just don't know it.
She can't be Arya and Sansa at the same time. That's just dumb.
-
She Freaky Fridayed it.
-
I agree, the books in particular and the show to some extent mention that the Wall isn't just a physical barrier - there's magic, too. But there are now several instances of wights south of the wall. Maybe it's just the white walkers who can't cross the barrier. That would actually make some sense. But then I'm not sure how a frosty wight dragon fixes that. Whatever, the show will do what it wants and I'm just going to mostly enjoy the ride and not try to overthink it too much. (The teleportation thing is still pissing me off a little, tho).
I also agree with Rusty that Arya's deadpan archery story was super lame, as was the failure to bring a horse.
-
She Freaky Fridayed it.
So Sansa was in Arya's body? And Arya was in Sansa's body. Well that explains why Sansa (aka Arya) sent Brienne away.

Yeppers

it's magic you idiots
if magic is involved IMO it would be easier to fake a face w/ magic than fake height :dunno:
-
When it comes to bringing a horse, I guess they assumed that keeping it alive due to the temperature would be tough? You would also have to account for bringing along food for the horse etc.
-
I just don't even understand what their plan was for getting one single wight and not having to fight the whole army. Like, what were they even thinking was going to happen?
Also, why didn't they all have dragonglass or Valerian steel swords? (I assume they didn't because the wights weren't all automatically dying quickly when they got hit.)
-
Speaking of dragonglass, it can turn a person into a white walker (i.e. 1000 years ago) or it can kill a wight/ white walker or it can be used to stop the process mid-transition without killing the person (Benjen).....

Pretty sure they had daggers - that's what the thrilling mining storyline was setting up

yeah how would we never know if horses could survive past the wall based on the last episode
-
I seem to remember the camera zooming in on multiple characters wielding dragon glass daggers.
I'm also thinking that the dragon glass / valerian steel benefits are against the white walkers, not necessarily the wights. . .but I could be wrong.
-
yeah how would we never know if horses could survive past the wall based on the last episode
Part of me assumed Benjen's horse must be special, but perhaps not.
Has the show ever shown wildlings on horses? It could be pretty believable that they walked to Eastwatch and so the castle itself does not have a stable (not to mention how much feed they would need to hold the castle for an extended period of time). So they would have had to bring horses on the ship with them from Dragonstone, but I guess they would have had to borrow them from the Dothraki?

Well yeah, the mining is why I thought they should all have dragonglass. It just didn't seem like the wights were going down fast enough if they all had it.
Maybe it doesn't work on wights...Did Sam kill a White Walker or a wight with dragonglass?
-
Also the plan worked perfectly until they learned the zombies can scream

A white walker.

Lots of bad stuff from Mrs. Gooch and Lib7.
You don't die if the thing you warg into dies. You will be in bad shape. In the case of wargging into an animal and die you'll be fine, see Orell.
And the Horn of Joramun (or Horn of Winter) has been introduced.

They've really dropped the ball not doing some more bran flashbacks, totally wasted so far this season
Agreed. They're probably waiting for the season finale to do the branflashback that reveals Meera as Jon's twin.
I also appreciate how several other posters are now mocking the absurd miles being racked up by certain characters. :thumbs:
Just rewatched s1e1. Winterfell receives a raven saying the King is coming to Winterfell, then POOF, they're arriving. What in the actual eff, GoT...

I don't have time to read every page of this blog, just like I don't have time to watch ravens flap their wings or men march 500 miles. I, for one, applaud convenient time lapses. If only you could figure out how to make a good point without boring the audience to death...

what if Sansa kills herself so that Arya can use her face to sneak into King's Landing and kill Cersei

Would probably be easier to sneak in as someone who is not a recognizable enemy of the queen.

yes because cersei has a ton of non-enemies
Although maybe the iron bank pedophile? :surprised:
-
pretty sure Arya and Mycroft met in like s3 too :surprised:
-
Arya should kill the mountain. That way she can magically transform into the biggest badass in Westeros as soon as she puts his face on. With his size and strength and her fighting style, she could slay Cersei's entire army all at once. Then she could go marry Dany since Jon is too small.
-
Why wouldn't she just use drogan's face?

I don't think needle would pierce drogon deep enough to get the kill. Plus, Dany probably doesn't want to marry one of her children.

King Robert didn't touch any of the living Starks (or Jon) when he came to Winterfell tho. My guess is the rest of them live through the series.
-
What if Littlefinger is already dead? Arya already killed him, wearing his face around, then Sansa kills him unknowingly killing Arya?

littlefinger doesn't kill anybody, he just convinces people to kill people. he'll have an easier time convincing sansa because she's an idiot

I think I mentioned it, but the only remotely likeable characters are Davos and the Hound (Sandor). And maybe Tyrion but he sucks now. The rest probably should die really.
-
Oh yeah, Davos belongs with the survivors
-
I would be ok with the Hound and Davos as the last living people in Westeros. And then a spinoff show if just them out there saying clever things like an odd couple type deal.
-
The Hound can die any time now. He's worn out his usefulness. I hope Tormund gets to reunite with Brienne though.
Also, if a dragon has to kill his own brother, I am not going to be happy.

-
I'd like to see the Hound chop Davos' head and this stuff his head with wildfire and then throw it at the Night King and then KABOOOOOOOOOOM and then they cut to Ghost who just wakes up from a nap. Dog dream. Thoughts?
-
Turns out there's a ton more characters I wouldn't really miss than vice versa:
Here are the only characters I'd like to see come through this:
1. Hound
2. Jon
3. Jamie
4. Tormund & Brianne (she deserves something nice)
5. Tyrion
Also, as villains go, the Night King doesn't seem all that bad. I mean he's obviously got different goals but he never seems to get angry or vindictive. He seems to be playing on a whole other level. I would much prefer to see him survive instead of, say, Cersei or Littlefinger.
-
My favorites are Arya, the Hound, Jon, Tyrion, and Littlefinger. Euron is also great, but he's not featured enough for me to consider him a main character.
-
all the characters are interesting to me. i mean sansa is the closest to janice/skyler territory, and she's not even close to that bad
-
team cersei
-
I guess we aren't going to need 3 dragon riders now.
What if Jon, with all his re-born stuff plus the half Targ/half Stark thing is able to ride the ice dragon?
I can almost picture a scene happening where ice dragon helps bring down the wall and right when everything seems lost he flys in front of Jon and a scene occurs mirroring the scene on Dragonstone after Dany takes out the wagon train. Jon climbs on the ice dragon and turns the table on the Night King.
-
There are a lot of theories online about Jon riding an ice dragon.
-
This is super nerdy, but I was thinking about that Dany prophecy about how she'll be betrayed three times: for blood and gold and love. I think blood (witch who killed Drogo), and gold (Jorah) are pretty well established, but the third betrayal for love is still out there. Lotta people think it will be Tyrion. I think it might be Jamie. Tyrion is trusting Jamie not to spring a trap on Dany, but what if Jamie betrays Tyrion (and Dany) out of love for Cersei? If that's the case we could find out in the season finale.
Another option is that Jon is gonna betray her and double back on bending the knee, but not sure how he would do that for love.
-
What happened to Dany's son becoming the stallion who rules the world? Did that die with her stillborn (monster?) baby or is it still a possibility? I mean that baby didn't rule the world so the prophesy hasn't been fulfilled.
-

Was that a "prophecy" or just something Drogo decided based on Dothraki folklore? He said "hey, my son's gonna be the Stallion that rules the world." Nope. And even if that's a prophecy, sometimes people misread them, like Stannis thinking he was Azor Azai or whatever.

Mounts the world
-
The Stallion Who Mounts the World (Dothraki: Vezh fin saja rhaesheseres) is a prophecy in the Dothraki religion. According to the prophecy, the Stallion is the "khal of khals" who will unite all the Dothraki under his single khalasar and ride to the ends of the earth. The prophecy states that "he will be the khal of khals, and all the people of the world will be his herd."
Sounds like Dany is the stallion who mounted the world.

I read an interesting fan theory that Rhaegar was Azor Azai, and Jon was his theoretical "flaming sword". It mad sense in the "fan theory" realm, but doubt that is really where they are going with it. It went something like, Azor tried 3 times to build Lightbringer. On the third try he succeeded but had to kill the thing he loved most to create it (his wife). Rhaegar was born amidst smoke and salt, Jon is his 3rd child, and the woman he loved died because of the birth.

That Azhor Azai talk is from the books. I don't think that name has been mentioned on the show although The Prince (or a person of unknown gender who is heir to a throne) Who Was Promised has been mentioned and that's the same person (I think).

I mean, the "no one dies" thing is a problem with the books. The second article makes a great point though and makes me think I'll read the new books if they're ever released.
-
The recent lack of main character deaths seems like a pretty silly criticism to me. The problem is the story - not the survivor count. I don't think it can be disputed that the show recently took a severely stupid turn with "the heist" north of the wall. It was a stupid idea and required all kinds of stupid contrivances to get the characters into, and out of, their predicament. Cut that story, and you don't have any of this discussion about how all the significant characters implausibly survived. (Jon somehow emerging from freezing water was easily the stupidest).
We'll likely see at least one major death in the final episode. I'm also guessing this is where the final of Dany's three betrayals comes to fruition, and it is Jamie once again breaking an oath to spring a trap on Dany for his love for Cersei.
My biggest curiousity at this point is whether the show introduces Howland Reed in the final season, or just abandons that story.
-
i will never give up on the reed story as long as K-S-U-Wildcats! has one breath in his body
-
The heist deal was pretty contrived. It did make for some good action though. I totally expected several characters to die north of the wall and not just a bunch of hapless wildlings and a drunk. Highly doubt we see this in the book
The 3rd betrayal thing for me is confusing. Is it someone who loves her that will betray her, or someone who betrays her for love of another?
What about Daario?
-
The recent lack of main character deaths seems like a pretty silly criticism to me. The problem is the story - not the survivor count.
i agree and disagree. the book goes to great effort to kill of important characters in order to create the impression for the reader that all characters are potentially in mortal jeopardy. but of course you can't actually kill off your true protagonist(s), at least not before the end of the story. so, basically the author spent an enormous amount of time in character development creating false protagonists in order to give the reader that impression. it was a storytelling technique that i found very effective - i was shocked when i read the red wedding and the impression it (and to a lesser extent other deaths) left stayed with me, lending drama to subsequent events.
for this season and last, the series has burned through the effect of that effort in an accelerated and pointless manner - characters dying and being brought back to life with no ill effect, characters needlessly placing themselves in harm's way and then, through no virtue or skill of their own, being rescued or dodging death in implausible manner. over and over again. so yes, it has been the ridiculous and unnecessarily story that has destroyed that effect for no purpose, but the effect itself was painstakingly created by killing off characters that readers/viewers were encouraged to invest in. they didn't necessarily need to continue racking up bodies, but they should have valued the impact of those earlier deaths more highly.
-
The 3rd betrayal thing for me is confusing. Is it someone who loves her that will betray her, or someone who betrays her for love of another?
What about Daario?
Exactly. I think a lot of people think the prophesy is referring to someone who loves Dany, and I think that's a headfake. I can even remember now if Daario betrayed her in the books. I think he just kind of went away in the show.
-
Daario betrayed me when he changed actors from freakstud to plushie dweeb

Daario 2 is a handyman flanel shirt type guy who can kill his way through twenty people and then hang your drywall for you

So that's why no one died last week. They were saving Tormund and Beric's deaths for this week.

Perfect end to the season.

Did she say Jon's name is Aegon? Didn't Raegar already have a son named Aegon that was murdered by Robert Baratheon?

I mean I get that people name their kids after ancestors a lot in this show, but that means Rhaegar had 2 sons named Aegon. How confusing.

You may be the only one confused

I knew that's how they'd end this season, but now that it's happened and we're staring down the barrel of (at least) another year before we get more episodes :curse:

They changed Asha's name to Yara to avoid confusion but now we have two sons of the same guy with the exact same name.

Solid finale. I'll try to do this in order....
The dragonpit scene was surprisingly well done. Fun reunions.
That Clegane face off was straight out of a WWE smackdown. Cleganbowl!
Hey Cersei actually does something pretty clever! But good for Jamie - you can do better, bro.
Yay Theon.
Oh so turns out all Bran had to do was tell the crazy sisters everything LF did. Yeah that'll work.
Sam's reaction to Bran. :lol:
Dany doesn't seem to mind having sex with a guy with a bunch of creepy open knife wounds. Seems unsanitary.
Wonder what the whole timeline was with Rhaegar's kids being killed, getting remarried, having Aegon2. Agree there's something weird here. Also how much longer are they going to stretch out the twin Meera reveal?!
Oh so turns out frosty ice dragon breath can melt Walls. And you know Tormund is gonna survive this.
-
tyrion really sucks at being a hand. also he'll be the one doing the third betrayal (not my own theory, but it's fairly obvious once laid out).
-
It was just blue flame upgrade
-
So, Tyrion is played by his sister once again. No surprise really. You'd think he'd know better by now. Maybe he does know? And what was the deal with him creeping outside the door while Dany and Jon were in the sack? It is definitely looking like he might be the betrayer, but I just can't bring myself there yet. Especially since his love is definitely for Jaime, not Cersei, and Jaime just rode off into the sunset.
On that note, we see just how terrible the wight mission was. No new ally, and you gave the NK the ultimate weapon.
We explicitly found out that Jon is a legit Targ. Will he have his long needed talk with Bran now that everyone is converging on winterfell? Or will they divert and head further north now that the Dead are coming? I hope they don't leave that hanging out there as it will add a new dynamic to the Dany and Jon saga. Jorah definitely tried to keep them from being on the same boat together, and of course, the aforementioned Tyrion creeping.
We finally got a straightforward time estimate from KL to Winterfell. 2 weeks on horseback.
Sam's reaction to Bran was great! I may actually end up liking this Sam guy after all.
Rhaegar, his ex-wife, and first 2 kids were killed shortly before Jon was born. The war was started because Rhaegar "kidnapped" Lyanna, so the deaths happened after they were married.
I believe the ice dragon breathes ice breath not ice fire breath. It looked like it made the wall so cold and brittle that it crumbled under it's own weight instead of melting it.
No way Tormund and Beric are dead. Beric still has to accomplish something, otherwise being brought back to life a dozen times makes no sense. And, you just can't get rid of Red Beard yet.
The Littlefinger end was satisfying. I was hinging there for a minute, like, ok girls, don't tell me he still has you crossed.

ice wall seemed like a waste of time, should have just made a wall of fire

Jamie's I don't believe you to walk past the mountain was top notch as well.

George Foreman has five sons named George Foreman (all alive) so I don't see the big deal about the Aegon thing.

The Theon redemption was maybe the worst thing about the show.
"Hey, I am a completely broken man that is a world class coward. I will now somehow beat up a veteran warrior 3x my size and then everyone else will follow me because that makes sense."

I knew that they were going to turn on Littlefinger as soon as Arya walked into the room but it was still so satisfying. I was a little surprised he begged so much.
I think the dragon was breathing blue fire (hotter than normal fire); not exactly sure though.
-
it took jaime too long probably but man his jungle book arc is bitb. he's going to join up with brienne now right?
also brienne is easily the worst actor in the entire show. SAD!
-
Bold prediction time. Final scene next season is Bran warging and suddenly opening his eyes and they're bright blue then he slowly rises out of his chair. Immediate black, credits roll, series over.

Lyanna named the kid, rheagar was ded
Yeah, I still haven't pieced it all together, but that's probably right.
We know that Rhaegar goes south with Lyanna and they get married (and she even looks pregnant in the flashback). Then he heads back north to fight Robert and loses. Then Robert descends to Kings Landing and kills Rhaegar's ex-wife (did she even know?) and kids. Then Ned continues south to find Lyanna.
So we know that Rhaegar was dead by the time Jon was born, and Rhaegar's other kids were still alive the last time he and Lyanna were still together.
So I really doubt Rhaegar said to Lyanna before he left "hey, let's name this kid Aegon if he's a boy - cause that won't be confusing at all what with the line of succession thing."
So it's likely that Lyanna picked the name herself later. Question is, did she know when she picked it that Aegon v1 had been killed? I'm guessing yes, because it's likely the news from KL made to the TOJ before Ned did, right? I mean somebody would have sent a warning to Dayne, right?
So I guess that explains why Lyanna picked the name - using the same name symbolized that one boy had replaced the other in the line of succession. Still a little creepy but might make sense to Lyanna.
I'm sure I'm way over-thinking this but it's interesting!
-
You're over thinking it

LF's end was so predictable that I didn't predict it. I've gotten so used to key characters not sharing information, even when they're in the same place, that I didn't consider that Bran might behave rationally and tell his sisters what's up. The whole "having a guy who can tell you everything's that's going on" thing makes the sister squabble a bit superfluous at this point.
I'm glad that it's (hopefully) wrapped up now because the Winterfell crap was easily the most tedious part of this season, right?

This same kind of thinking is why Tyrion is definitely up to something. We never saw the ending of his convo with Cersei.
-
Yes, I am also wondering what is going on with Tyrion.
As far as the incest thing, Dany was originally expecting to marry her brother so hooking up with her nephew is less incesty so it should be ok.
I like how Bran was condescendingly explaining to Sam how "Sand" is the bastard name in Dorne before Sam told him the whole story. :lol:

Good point. That whole scene was extremely weird, and it really didn't make sense to cut off at Tyrion asking if she was pregnant - unless the writers are hiding something.
-
The show was set up to emulate the political environment of medieval Europe. Rhaegar's son would have been Aegon VI, like Henry VIII.
I mean, I get that the show and the books split, but I'm not thrilled that they merged Jon/Aegon. Of course, they merged Jorah and Jon Connington, so, hey, whatever.
But the symbolism that you need to remember is that Dany rides Drogon, and the remaining dragon is Rhaegal. Her three dragons were named after the men in her life that died (Drogo, Rhaegar, and Viserys). Viserys turned on her, and Viserion is the one the Night King is riding.
My guess is that Dany will ride Drogon, and Jon will ride Rhaegal.
I now seriously wonder how they're going to work Azor Ahai into this, but whatever. I think I know, but I'm not happy if that's how they choose to do it.

I like that Bran has warged into this show's version of the Star Trek computer. Sam: "I read that Lyanna and Rhaegar were secretly married - go take a look!" Bran: "Checks out."

I think this show was pretty amazing until the last season when it really got past GRRM's writing and started to slide into fan-fiction levels of dumbassery. All-in-all, though, I'm still looking forward to the final episodes. Can you name a TV show that's ever done better with a fantasy book series? A series that isn't even and probably never will be finished?

It's the best, but still somehow manages to disappoint. It's just too bad that GRRM is so lazy, because it kind of sucks knowing how much better the show would have been had he had it in him to finish his series in less than 30 years' time.

I think the showrunners and screenwriters could have done a better job with this last season even without the final books, but otherwise I agree. Characters are suddenly teleporting all over Westeros to satisfy fan cravings and it’s getting a little silly.

This may have been posted when rumors first surfaced last year. I was watching an interview with Kit Harington on Colbert a week or so ago. Kit said it took 55 nights to film the battle scene. Many film experts are saying this will be the largest battle scene ever filmed in movie/tv history. Larger then the battle at Helm's Deep in LOTR. So yea...lots of people are going to die.

Also...last season was not boring. Stop trying to be edgy and enjoy the ride. Series like this don't come around often.

I follow the story loosely, I think the acting and production is very good.
-
i'm going to try to re-watch the series before starting the last season, but I'm getting a late start. I'm halfway through Season 1. I had forgotten how good the first season was with Sean Bean. None of the characters are insufferable at this point. They do an excellent job at teasing out all the familial intertwinings that are the bedrock of the story and will become more fully understood in later seasons.
Right now, I wouldn't skip a minute of it. I think starting around seasons 3 or 4 there's a few arcs I'll probably FF through if possible. Should hopefully be caught up before the series finale.

iirc his motivations are he loves doing F'd up experiments and cersei writes him a blank check to do that 24/7

george is obviously saving all his really good subversive plot stuff for twow.

Halfway through my re-watch. Haven’t watched the new epi yet. Damn, I had forgotten how great this series was the first few seasons. In fact, Season Four might be the very best. Can’t remember if things started to slide in Season 5 or if it was 6. But Season Four - nearly perfect.
-
Yes, 4 is the best

Sansa Stark has developed from annoying teen/damsel in distress to the absolute most calculated and worthy leader in this series. I predict she will end the series either on the iron throne or ruling all of Westeros from Winterfell. That or at least at the end no one has more power or control than she.

the thing about how sansa has now supposedly evolved to be smart is basically everything that is wrong with the series in later seasons. everything she does still evidences her to be a complete dumbass. but now the other characters go around saying she's a badass in defiance of all evidence to the contrary.
-
to be fair, all the other characters are also gigantic raging idiots, so maybe she is, by comparison, the smartest. dunno.

Yeah none of the Starks (including John) are particularly smart. I don’t see that as a problem with the show though.

it's not just the starks. they're all rough ridin' idiots.

I also like to think I’d be the smartest character in all of these shows.

I stand by what I said earlier. Season Four is Simply The Best. Jeoffry’s wedding. Jamie and Brienne, Podrick and Brienne, The Hound and Brienne. Brienne! Arya and The Hound. Hit Pie’s gravy monologue. Tomen and Ser Pounce. Settling the mutineers at Craster’s Keep. Tyrion’s first trial. Cousin Orson and his beetles. Tyrion’s second trial. The Mountain and the Viper. Oberin. :love: The Moon Door. The Battle of Castle Black. Crazy how much amazing stuff packed into one season.

Many things to be excited about. This felt like the finale before finale (I'm assuming 50+% will die).
* We got an inside look at the future Mr. and Mrs. Baratheon (if they live).
* Brienne is finally a knight.
* Dany now knows the truth about Jon, and the first thing she thought about was the throne and not that she had been banging her nephew.
* Theon is welcomed back in Winterfell. Sansa may or may not be in love with him.
* Jamie and Tyrion. I mean...wow. Jamie has grown as a person. I'm going to be sad if/when these two die. I'm a big fan of Jamie these days. Not only did he have the balls to come back to
Winterfell...he stood by his decisions (except throwing Bran off the building). He supports the living and wants to serve Brienne in the war.
* The Hound and Arya cleared the air. They both appreciate each other...probably even like each other. Beric and Hound are former enemies and now pals working towards a common goal.
* Bran is all like "hey....Knight King really wants me guys."
* Sam gave his family sword to Jorah. Is this sword actually Lightbringer? https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/Lightbringer
* Jorah defends Tyrion's decision making to Dany. Dany accepts that and reinforces to Tyrion that she has his trust during battle planning.

arya kills BRAD KORN and steals BRAD KORN's face. she shows up to hoops practice and assassinates king oscar. melisandra $!#* farts smoke and revives BRAD KORN, KORN gets framed for the murder of king oscar and sentenced to death. kansas dept of corrections tries to carry out the sentence but you can't kill him since he's a fire wight and the electric chair explodes. citing cruel and inhumane punishment reasons, the state refuses to try and execute KORN again and instead, release him back into society. KORN takes the head coaching job at ksu cats university and his rightful place on the iron throne. KING KORN reigns supreme.

Ugh. Halfway into Season 5. Dany’s Interminably Irrelevant Hunt for the Sons of the Harpies. Sansa doing stupid Sansa things. Arya in psychopath training. Cersei broods. Jon Snow broods. Sparrows. Sand Snakes. Jamie and Bron go to Dorne? because why the eff not the audience will like that. What a horribly average season after Season 4. At least there’s Stanis to enjoy. This season offers his best performance of the series. What a treat.
-
oh yeah i forgot how much the sparrows suck
-
Ok, so Season 5 wasn’t as enjoyable as it’s predecessors. But after a really slow start, Jon’s not completely stupid visit to Hardhome and Stannis really just being his most amazing Stannis self kind of redeems it. Tyrion and Mormont liven up the Dany plotline a bit and we’re finally done with the stupid Harpy crap. Also starting to appreciate what great bad guys the Boltons are. And of course, the best cliffhanger of all the seasons.
As Stannis would say, On to Season 6. :driving: (I think this may be the season where things start getting really goofy. Maybe that’s 7 can’t remember.)
-
I wonder if we’re gonna see any baby white walkers this season. We know they’re out there. Do you think the night king will be carrying one around in those baby carriers?

Had no idea that was the same dude. He really is one of the very best characters in the series. Also, aside from That One Really Terrible Thing he's def in the upper echelon of the show's honorable badasses. But then he did that thing and there you go...

Yeah, Stannis really shouldn't have killed Renly like he did.

Yeah, Stannis really shouldn't have killed Renly like he did.
That one doesn’t really seem too bad in retrospect. I mean, Renly was a grown man leading an army to contest his brother’s (superior) claim to the throne. I’m talking about the other horrible thing (which, to be fair, would now be legal in New York and Virginia).

i don't think that's accurate

That was a glorious 90 minutes of viewing pleasure, an emotional rollercoaster. Arya! Holy crap. Biggest Dave Armstrong moment of my TV viewing life.
That said, not enough important people died. Having the Night King die without ever developing any depth beyond stock evil monster was a serious waste of time.

Hound was a bit of a bitch.

There were quite a few things that can and should be criticized but it was still a very good episode.

I was pretty pissed to see Jorah cruising back in after the Calvary charge. His death was way more dignified than deserved. I would have bet the farm on Grey Worm dying so that was a surprise.

Wait GW survived?
What about Missande basically calling Sansa a little bitch?
What about the hound acting like a coward/ maybe even throwing Baric under a figurative bus?
I legit thought Ser Brienne died at the very beginning of the initial infantry clash. Had it held true I thought it would have been a wickedly good turn after basically dedicating a lot of EP 2 to her.
Again, WTF Bran!?!? Though I do think some of his strategic planning was crucial, many WTF moments.
Also, the battle strat in general: Charging the hoard into the zombie hoard? Not immediately retreating the infantry when the first of the calvery survivors retreated after being pulverized?
Lastly, I’ve been big on the Sansa train for awhile, but she was pretty garbage/helpless last episode imo.
-
I wanted more, but I'm not sure what. The nk just died so suddenly.

I was hoping the Night King would have a conversation with Bran.

Great episode overall. But seriously guys you can’t give us one surprising death? It’s not that I just want important people to die, I just want something to happen that makes the ending not completely obvious (Jon and Dany taking the iron throne and liberating the seven kingdoms).

Season 6 is pretty strong, at least as good as the second half of Season 5, but yeah this is where things definitely start getting silly. The Hodor time loop. The Night King can evidently teleport his army wherever he wants, but Meera can somehow outrun the whole army while pulling Bran on a sledge. Arya gets gut stabbed, repeatedly, and not only lives but then runs the Boston Marathon. Jon Snow was a complete moron in The Big Battle all the fans have been waiting for. But the Hound and Ian McShane make up for all of it. Also Blackfish.
-
the episode was ridiculously stupid and the whole story with the white walkers came to a completely unsatisfying conclusion. however. i really liked it when arya killed the dude and i'm just so rough ridin' happy that all that magic/north crap will never pollute another episode.

There have been what, 3 actual kings in the roughly 10 years of Westeros depicted in the show? Add Stannis, Robb Stark, Renly, Dany and kind of Jon Snow (more?) vying for the iron throne, AND Cersi and Tywin Lannister at various times basically acting as King/Queen.
That’s some seriously tumultuous history.

The only real disappointment of the episode was how the night king suddenly became a giant dumbass. There’s no reason he had to personally kill Bran, but for some reason he just strolls into a castle with tons of still alive fighters and is like, ok everyone just watch me. No need to kill anyone else Im sure they’ll just watch too.

Almost done with Season 6. Just suffered through the moronic Battle of the Bastards. Let’s walk through this. Ramsay cleverly uses Rickon as bait. So far, so good. Jon moronically rides right into range of the Bolton archers, even though the chances of Ramsay hitting a running Rickon at 50+ meters is minuscule. Then Ramsay does hit Rickon. Implausible, it whatever. I guess a world with dragons and zombies can also have mystically good archers. Fine.
Then, rather than Ramsay using his archers to mow down Jon - that was the whole friggin point - he delays for dramatic effect. By the time he looses the arrows Jon is charging the Bolton army. Then the rest of Jon’s army follows. Ok fine. So fight fight stab stab. Ramsay’s actual doing the sensible thing of using his archers to decimate both sides because he’s got the numbers. So yay Ramsay for being smart.
Then there’s this weird phalanx bit where the Bolton army somehow manages to completely encircle Jon’s army. What in the blue eff was that? Apparently the shoot ran long and over budget and this was the way they rectified that.
Then, when all hope is lost, LF and Sansa show up to save the day. There is not one single plausible reason why Sansa wouldn’t have told Jon about having a whole other army at the ready - but it’s gotta be a surprise for the audience, so ugh. What a shitty stupid sequence.

Anyone that knows anything about ancient/medieval warfare (I know a very, very little) was super pissed about the battle in Sunday's episode.
-
Yeah, you don't fontal attack with a cavalry charge, you flank or charge during a route.
Whatever.
-
Anyone who has played Rome: Total war knows that.
-
Yeah but it looked cool which is more important
-
look, all of the very important characters go into battle wearing full armor but no helmet. these guys aren't military geniuses.
-
If I watched I definitely would have been one of the people whining about how dark it was. I hate that. I whined and complained the whole time while watching the new Godzilla movie on TV about how I couldn't see anything.
-

Well they all died pretty quick so that makes sense.

Every great swordsman in the history of television knows that wearing a helmet impairs your peripheral vision noob

I will say, the final episode of Season 6 pretty much makes all of 5 and 6 worth it. Cersei hits peak Cersei. Jon's parentage revealed. Just great. Ok. Onto Season 7. Almost there.

Ugh, Season 7 and so far we’ve got Tyrion’s idiotic battle plan to take the army he’s got and sail them around the continent to seize an unnecessary objective, and send his fleet to move another army up to King’s Landing. Dumbass.
Dany has her dumbass #metoo moment demanding Jon Snow bend the knee.
Ugh. It will get better. It will get better. I think we’re done with Dorne so at least there’s that. And Arya gets the Freys. And Dragonstone is getting some love - what a badass set piece.
-
.... but to be fair, at least Tyrion wasn’t rewarded for his stupid strategy. In epis 3 and 4, the Queen of Thorns gets the last word, and The Mother of Dragons finally uses her dragons. Davos busts out the third Stannis “fewer” reference of the series. All in all pretty damned good. Which means it’s time to trot out The Dumbest Storyline of The Whole Damned Series: All of Our Favorite Characters (Except Tyrion and Jamie) Go Wight Hunting.

Yes I think we can all agree that was the jump the shark moment.

Beyond the Wall is so, so bad. Like Star Wars prequels inexcusably awful this needs to be burned out of the canon bad. I’d forgotten just how illogical and pandering this whole shitshow of an episode was. Not just the A-Team up north, but the whole Arya/Sansa thing, too. :bang: Two of the top five stupidest plot lines rolled into one episode.
-
the episode was ridiculously stupid and the whole story with the white walkers came to a completely unsatisfying conclusion. however. i really liked it when arya killed the dude and i'm just so rough ridin' happy that all that magic/north crap will never pollute another episode.
The fact that someone could have this sentiment just shows what a crap job the showrunners did on telling this story. EP1 Prolog, first scene: the others kill a bunch of dudes. This is the story arc, everything else is just a folly meant to be a distraction.

-
Man, Season 7 really ended with a thud. First Beyond the Wall, and then the final episode didn't get much better. The Stupid Summit at the Dragonpit. The Stupid LF Trial that essentially boiled down to "we figured out you're guilty of all this crap because we've got a psychic, and all that conflict we showed you between Sansa and Arya leading up to this was a bullshit head fake for the audience."
Starting Season 8 tonight. I've tried my best to avoid spoilers. Based on the rumblings, it sounds like the dumbassery continues. Arya kills the Night King in Epi 3? Are you rough ridin' kidding me?! Ok, fine, here we go.

Jon kills Dany
-
Alright Season 8, epi 1, let’s see... Starts strong.
I like that Jon and others ride past Arya. Feels real.
Very important to point out that Northfolk stare at black people. Racists.
Oh goooody, Sansa’s back to being a complete dumbass again. Worried about feeding the army that’s arrived to save her skin. But she’s so #metoostrong. You go, girl.
Never mind, Sansa’s back to being smart again. I guess this is gonna vary from scene to scene. To Tyrion re Cersei: “I used to think you were the most clever man alive.” Yeah, so did we, Sansa. Turns out Tyrion is a terrible judge of character and strategist. He’s basically good at saving his own skin and that’s about it.
-
Jon and Arya’s reunion was way better that Arya and Sansa. And Arya said “Sansa’s the smartest person I’ve ever met.” Intriguing - why is Arya lying to Jon about a known dumbass?
Man Cersei, you are a tramp. But you’ve got your #metoo fanbase dialed up to 11 right now.
Sending Bron to assassinate Tyrion and Jamie. That’s a fun idea. Should be good.
-
What is dead may never die. But pretty sure you’re gonna die, Theon. Just sayin.
The bit with Jon and Dany and the dragons was funny and well done.
The Hound, Gendry... Arya seems to have really good reunion scenes with everyone except for known dumbass Sansa. I’m seeing a pattern.
God Jon, just smack Sansa. Please.
Holy crap that meeting of Sam and Dany. :love: Also, Sam has lost weight. Years with the Watch, somehow the dude bulks up. A trip to the Citadel and the dude trims down.
-
Sam and Jon. Sam making some pretty good points. Is a fight between Jon and Dany brewing?
Tormund and Ed “I’ve always had blue eyes!” :lol: Damn feel bad for the Umber kid.
Jamie and Creepy Bran. One look says it all. Well, metaphorically. That’s the same look Bran gives everyone now.
Damn - aside for Our Lady of Perpetual Dumbassery, what an episode! Season 8 starts strong!
-
Not much to say about Epi 2. Great payoffs all around. Terrific. The Gendry / Arya thing was a little creepy.
-
pretty enjoyable reviews
-
although i'm somewhat surprised that as the hoots & dongs wind down, the hate ratchets up
-
Sigh. What the hell. I guess Tyrion devises this battle plan. You start by charging your entire, unarmored cavalry right up the gut of a far superior mess (of zombies)?! You set you catapults up in front if your infantry, and then barely use them?! You put your infantry in front of the trench?! It’s like they deliberately did everything bassackwards. At least the phalanx is doing its job. Now would be a great time to send in your cavalry from the sides. Oops.
Once the castle is overrun, things get pretty great. Wow did not see the crypt coming. No Ned, tho.
Not sure how I feel about Arya and the Night King yet. I’m not pissed like I expected to be. But it doesn’t seem right. Great episode. Maybe one of the best, but that ending. I don’t know.
-
I think my disappointment is not with who killed NK - terribly implausible but not terrible per se - it’s more that this end makes the White Walker’s so meaningless. The entire series, the theme has been that the GOT is irrelevant petty squabbling and the real battle is between the living and the dead. This episode turns that on its head. The NK is reduced to an ice zombie level boss, and the final bad guys are Cersei, the Golden Company, and Urien Greyjoy?!
All the possibilities of the WW and NK having some deeper significance were snuffed out. Why is he marching south? To kill people and the 3ER. Why’s he want to kill the 3ER? Because he wants “to snuff out our memories.” Okkkk. What’s the deal with the spirals? That just means “die.” Any connection with the Weirwoods? Nah, they’re just trees with creepy faces carved into them. How’s the 3ER going to play into all this? He’s gonna sit beneath a tree as bait and warg into some ravens for some reason. What role will Meera and Howland Reed play? Next question.
So while I really enjoyed much of the battle - after the horrific battle plan collapsed - it all feels like a huge lazy waste of storytelling. This doesn’t bode well for the books if GRRM couldn’t give these guys anything better than this.
-
Episode 4....
These clowns may not be able to plan a battle for crap, but they can arrange and construct a formation of funeral pyres with military precision.
Let’s party. But first, what is the chain and circle thing Stupid Sansa is always wearing? Is she trying to pull of a Maester look. Is this like the GOT equivalent of Rick Perry or Alexandria Occasional Cortex wearing glasses to look smart?
The Hound is so great. He should have been the one to kill the NK while we’re at it, because why the eff not at this point? Same for Tormund.
Would it really be so bad for Dany to be Jon’s queen and sit next to the iron throne? Why does she want it so badly anyway? Really Dany, at this point you’re just being a pill.
Drunk Breanne is more fun. Just ask Jamie. :woot:
Wait, first Sansa is pissed to be wasting all of Winterfell’s stores on armies - now she wants to keep them here? SMDH Stupid Sansa.
Wait, Bron is going to go on “the word” of two people on the other end of his crossbow? After already telling them that Cersei’s the losing side? That was a disappointingly dumb exchange.
Seems like a lot of final-ish farewells going on here. Tormund. Ghost. Sam. Surely not Jamie and Breanne?
Urien welcomes Dany back to Dragonstone. Did not see that coming. Neither did they. Dany’s got a serious problem now, and Jon’s looking like a better and better option. Not just to Varys.
Come on Jamie. Really? Really? Ugh.
Tyrion is back to being great again. So if you’re Missandeh, you jump and take your chances right?

The whole story is about the Stark family. Everyone and everything else are secondary or tools to tell their story. This has been my belief for awhile and it has only strengthened over time.
I saw a pretty good fan theory out there last night that I can definitely get behind. I don’t remember all the details (and these theories always get too detailed anyway), but the main takeaway is in line with the beginning of my post.
Three key elements from the show:
1. In Tywin and Arya’s great conversations about the Targaryens’ initial takeover Tywin mentions the Targaryen guy and his dragons Arya tells him basically “It wasn’t just bro Targaryen, it was also his sisters.
2. It’s been repeated a few times, most notably to me recently at Winterfell between Arya and Sansa, “The lone wolf dies, the pack survives.”
Jon doesn’t realize I don’t think, but he’s a bit of a lone wolf at this point. Dany is for him, but she’s really for herself in a very one-dimensional way. The Starks are 100% for each other. And throughout the show Jon has REALLY sprung into action whenever a Stark is in danger.
3. I could be mistaken, but I believe it’s likely that Jon will make his way to Dragon Stone and as a true Targaryen king may likely somehow reanimate the stone Dragons there. I wouldn’t rule out Jon, Arya and Sansa all riding dragons together. This may not happen exactly but I think it is likely to play a role.
I do think Dany will either turn on Jon, the people, or just go mad.
How will it end up? I dunno.
It also goes along with the thinking that #FAMILY isn’t just who you are given, what you are born into, but what you make it. Tyrion could and also is a big part of this too as he’s proven to be a good human and kind of part of the family due to kinda marriage to Sansa. He also treats her with a ton of dignity.
-
why wouldn't cersai have one of those huge arrow guns shoot tyrion? she absolutely would have, if this were irl
-
I just think it's amazing that Cersei is the first ruler to figure out how to kill a dragon. Nobody else ever thought to shoot them with a ballista.
-

Pretty sure that’s a war code thing for them. They always ride out and meet each other for diplomacy or whatever. Not saying Cersei wouldn’t break that rule too tho.

You could be right with respect to the show. If the show runners decided to go in that direction, there's nothing to be done about that. But it's very clear from the books that the title of the series - a Song of Ice and Fire - is referring to two overarching themes: it's a story of the battle between the White Walkers (Others) and Living, and it's a story of Jon (and maybe Meera) - the product of Ice (Stark) and Fire (Targ). Seeing as how the books may never be finished (by GRRM), I was hoping the show would stay true to these themes, but it decided to put more emphasis on the Game of Thrones instead.
I don't know what the real significance of the White Walkers should have been, but it should have been something more than "ice zombies to be killed before a final confrontation with Cersei." What a waste. The Battle of Winterfell should have been a defeat for the Living while revealing the deeper significance of, and connection between, the NK and 3ER and the Weirwoods (something better than "he wants to wipe out our memories" - man that was stupid). The remnants of the Targ armies should have retreated to Kings Landing for the final three-way showdown between Cersei, Targ, and the NK. That would have been epic.

Yeah, why can't showrunners make everything in the show exactly the way I pretended it to be in my head? Idiot showrunners! What is the deal with these showrunners anyway?

Meh, the books will vindicate the Meera theory if they ever get written. Disappointing that the show ditched Meera but whatever. Shows cant do everything in the books.
But everyone except known dumbasses should be disappointed by where the show went with the WW. The WW and 3ER were the central mysteries of the show - not just the books - and the show ultimately gave short shrift to both. The WW were ice zombies and the 3ER was a plot device to provide some necessary flashbacks. Okkkkk.

Probably because Tyrion really hasn’t been worth crap the last few seasons and always ends up getting owned whenever they battle Cersei.

I mean, half the people at Winterfell would’ve been like “Oh hey, ‘sup Bronn” when he walked in. And he’s a half-assed Lord anyway.

I’m more troubled by the fact that he led off his negotiations by admitting that Cersei was probably the losing side. But yeah, your points, too. It was pretty dumb.

The A-team getting the zombie to send to cersei was the dumbest.
I thought the first scene when Dany made Gendry a lord was one of the best in the last three seasons
-
I tend to judge each episode as if it couldn’t help the circumstances it starts with. On that scale I think this was a fine episode. I’m still pissed with how the white walker storyline ended but I’ve come to grips with the fact that there’s simply not enough time to do anything else with it. I think the Jon vs Dany plot and setting her up as Mad King 2.0 is probably as interesting of a storyline that they could come up with at this point.
-
I’m also still a big fan of the entire Arya storyline, and I hope they don’t ruin it by having her kill Cersei.

I don't have any issue with them building a ballista to shoot at dragons. They are just way too accurate. It would be really hard to hit a flying dragon with a heavy bolt from a ship bobbing up and down on the water from more than 100 yards away.

Dude has only one hand. Probably affects his self-esteem a bit. Plus, he was nailing his sister before. Isn't not incest an upgrade from incest no matter who he was boinking before?
Maybe Jamie loves and respects Breanne? That makes up for a lot of physical shortcomings, even for men. I actually liked this development.
-
it's Brienne (unless Breanne is a nickname joke that i don't get)
-
I’m also still a big fan of the entire Arya storyline, and I hope they don’t ruin it by having her kill Cersei.
Well, the Hound and Arya are headed to KL. We all know what they're setting up the Hound for. It seems like Arya's still got a major role to play, which is kinda annoying to me because Arya's whole super-ninja-assassin thing has worn a bit thin.
-
it's Brienne (unless Breanne is a nickname joke that i don't get)
Nah - I just can't get all the spellings right. Apparently Bronn has the two ns, too.
-
the Bronn scene did not bother me at the time but now you guys have ruined it for me :frown:
-
Nah, the Bronn scene is barely a blip on the radar of stuff to complain about.

I don't have any issue with them building a ballista to shoot at dragons. They are just way too accurate. It would be really hard to hit a flying dragon with a heavy bolt from a ship bobbing up and down on the water from more than 100 yards away.
it would be all but impossible. also, a person riding a dragon could see a fleet of rough ridin' ships at dragon-shooting range more easily than a person on a fleet of rough ridin' ships could see a dragon. and also, they show those rough ridin' overgrown arrows hitting the ships as if they were rough ridin' cannonballs. jfc, even actual cannon don't sink ships that easily.

Magic arrows tho
-
you can either magic up a giant dragonseeking arrow or you can magic up a giant ship-destroying arrow. but everyone knows you can't fit two magics into the same giant arrow.
-
Some of you guys are trying way too hard with this show. If you’re calling BS with some of these events this season, why the eff have you been keeping up on dragons, dead soldiers, etc. the past 10 years? Good grief. Stop trying so hard to bury nice things.
-
Liked the second watch better. It's really clear that tyrion jumping off the ship and getting bonked with the mast was supposed to be the end of the episode. The next scene of the unsullied washing ashore and the next 20 minutes felt very much like the start of the next episode that was cut short and didn't fit the tone of the first 2/3rds. So we ended up with a good 55 minute episode and then half of a very poorly edited episode mashed together and it's just doesn't flow correctly.
The sneak attack is just so amazingly stupid though...

interesting thought and makes sense. i thought it was the end of the epi while watching live.

I agree in that if the writers were like "okay bottom line we gotta get this down to 1 dragon" then the better way to do it would have been to have Rhaegal just go down against Viserion and the whites. Kind of dumb he survived all that and then just gets blasted out of the air from a considerable distance away by a bunch of grayjoy turds. Otherwise though I think they needed some way of giving Cersei a hostage that is close to Dany and I mean whats another scenario for that to happen that isn't equally as stupid?
-
Not spending 15 seconds on Jon saying goodbye to ghost was just tragic. Same with not showing us Sansa and arya's reaction to learning about aegon.
-
Perhaps it’s not really goodbye. :Wha:
But it’s pretty clear they wanted to have the dragon going down to be like, hey look these things are vulnerable after all. Still, would have been 10,000x better if they did that by having one of the dragons killed during that pointless negotiation scene at the gate.
-
On the positive side, Jon's funeral speech was really good. I really don't want them doing the mad queen, but all the scenes with tyrion and varys were very good and they seem to be settling it up well. Arya's hit it and quit it made me happy. Hound with sansa was great.
-

The wolves haven't done crap so who cares.
Sansa's Aegon reaction was going straight to Tyrion to tell on him, she's cold blooded now.

Her convo with the hound was equally icy, RIP little dove.

Sansa's development would be as interesting as Arya's except Sansa still hasn't done anything worth a crap.

Seems pretty likely that the Jamie/Brienne parting makes zero sense because it’s another head fake for the audience. He’s not really pulling a 180. That would be dumb.
It also makes zero sense for him to lie to Brienne about his true plan. Except that the purpose of the lie/nonsensical action isn’t for Brienne - it’s to set up a surprise for us. This is something the writers have been doing a lot lately. Other examples are the Sansa/Arya feud orchestrated by LF, and Sansa’s decision to keep her Vale army a secret from Jon.
So Jamie’s headed back to KL to do exactly what he did before with the Mad King (maybe he’ll kill Qyburn, too). How poetic.
-
no jamie is going back to be with and protect cersei. he'll probably get captured on the way though.
-
I am 100% certain Jaime kills Cersei in the final episode.
-
Honestly at this point I don’t really GAF how they end it provided they have a few decent prequel spinoffs to keep feeding me.

I can’t tell if I didn’t like this episode because it wasn’t very good, or because the whole direction of the story feels so stoopid at this point. Oh, and evidently Jon Snow, for whom the entire series is based, is now an afterthought.
-
dragons are invincible again, so that's nice. a little surprised at the amount of structural damage a good dragonburn can inflict on masonry, to be honest.
arya killing dany will be fun, i hope.
-
We all knew it all along. eff that bleached blonde bitch.
-
How the directors thought there was only enough content for 6 episodes blows my mind. If they wanted to go this direction...fine. It needed a lot more development. I would argue this season should have been dedicated to White Walkers only, and a separate season on Dany’s downfall and overtaking King’s Landing.
Now we have one episode left to watch Arya kill Dany and wrap up the rest of this show. Or, we have 1 episode left that shows Bran waking up North of the wall after foreshadowing these events. He sends Raven to have her killed before she sails to Westeros. In parallel, he kills Sam so Gilly’s baby is donated to the White Walkers and they never march towards the wall.
-
that was wild. what the hell dany?!
-
you can lay any blame for plot missteps at the feet of grrm
-
Dany has always shown a proclivity for sadism and violence. She wanted to "break the wheel" but that ended when EVERYONE she trusted died or betrayed her.
-
Was Tyrion the worst Hand of the Queen ever?

either he told the writers how the books end (and it's this garbage) or he didn't tell them. if he didn't tell them, it's still his fault because he hasn't published a book since 2011.

-

Agreed, GRRM is not the problem. He provided more than enough excellent source material to lead to any number of satisfying conclusions. It's more like the show runners completely forgot all the masterful work they did on season 1-4, and to a lesser extend 5-6, setting up all these great characters and story lines.
Seasons 7 and 8 are like a completely different show. This isn't a matter of being disappointed with how one character or another ends up - it's a matter of basically putting seasons 1-6 into the shredder. The White Walkers? Turns out not such a serious problem. Jon Snow? Turns out he won't really play any significant role with defeating the White Walkers or Cersei. Jamie Lannister? Turns out after a remarkable arc of character development, instead of completing his redemption he'll return to be buried with Cersei and do nothing of significance. Dany suddenly decides to napalm innocent men, women, and children even though it was completely unnecessary? So, like, she just suddenly goes mad? First Arya takes on far greater significance than she deserves in the White Walker plot line, and then she has absolutely zero significance in the Cersei plot line?! What in the seven hells is this crap?

"suddenly goes mad" - my favorite compliant yet lol. She's been threatening to burn cities to the ground since early season 2 and now that everyone who has stopped her from doing that in the past has betrayed her or died, people are surprised she burnt a city to the ground. This has literally been her first instinct since she got dragons.
OK.

The Wildfire was exploding last night because her father put it all around under the city, that’s why Jaime killed him.
It also makes perfect sense that Jaime and Cersi die together because they started the whole mess. But are they really dead.
But I do agree these wrap ups are very disappointing.

it seems like a different show because the writers are out on their own now. and i blame grrm for that because he hasn't finished his books. these guys are really good at running a show, but asking them to satisfyingly end an enormously epic fantasy book series that they didn't even start was a mistake.

we have more than enough evidence to now conclude that the show runners are completely talentless, absolute hacks. whatever virtues the earlier seasons had can only be attributed to a story already well-developed enough that they couldn't eff it up (and probably also grrm micromanaging the scripts to keep them from going to crap).
-
Yeah, show writing got bad when they source material was gone.
Jon literally never did anything great in his life. He was just supposed to be a wall guy that had a soft heart and it got him murdered. He was never some hero in waiting.
People are trying to make Dany/John/Jamie into people that they aren't.
-
Cersei's death was so incredibly unsatisfying. She deserved something slow and horrible and painful instead of a nice graceful touching scene dying with her lover, who by the way she sent Bronn to kill just a couple of episodes ago but apparently forgot about that.
Jaime should not have been killed by some B team scrub like Euron who looked to be the only survivor of the Iron Fleet's whupping and who also JUST HAPPENED to be stumbling ashore at the exact moment Jaime was walking by. Please.
I'm no dragon expert but you'd think there is some limit to how much fire a dragon can produce in a short time. Apparently not, guess Drogon was well hydrated or whatever dragons do to crank out unlimited fire.
So the fleet of ships with scorpions went from marksman level to Stormtrooper level of accuracy overnight.
I'm also puzzled about people flipping out over Dany's heelturn. She's had absolutely no problem using her dragon to torch people and things previously and now she feels like she's been betrayed by almost everyone around her.
-
successful dragon attack on fleet didn't bother me, they tried to make it clear that the dragon used the clouds and the sun to remain hidden but it wasn't super clear either.
Agree on Euron, Jamie being lame.
Also, wanted cersei to die a slow horrible death but I guess sitting up there watching everything she worked for get torched was probably painful to her. Kind of like hitler's last hours.
-
She has never targeted the innocent, and that is why fans are losing their crap. Kill all the soldiers sure, but not the innocent women and children.
-
it was just stupid, clumsy and utterly lacking in subtly like everything the showrunners do. they had to behead her friend like the day previous (for absolutely no reason), because otherwise how would viewers know she was all emotional-like. and then they spent a total of like three minutes on her devolution into kinda-sorta burn-them-all targaryen madness. and then they had to make her choice so obvious as to slap the viewer in the face. like they could have started her off flaming up a bunch on non-surrendering soldiers and then she could just keep going in the firelust of a targaryen at war. or they could have had her fly off to flame at cersei despite the surrender and then things could get out of hand or whatever. but, because they're rough ridin' hacks, they just have her sit her dragon down for a spell and then with no provocation or motive whatsoever, start off on the nearest women and children. they're just so bad at writing.

Reagal should have died in this battle and the transition to Dany #bid would have been more smooth, but they really wanted to show how overpowered dragons are.

Right but she fundamentally changed with Jon's betrayal and the betrayal or death of her ENTIRE inner circle.
She was betrayed because they didn't fear her.

it's just silly to have dany kill half a million people. terrible writing and all that. enjoyed the crap out of it anyways.
-

Exactly. Comparing what Dany did to KL to her other uses of fire and fury is laughable. At most, the civilians were collateral damage. And now all of sudden she is deliberately targeting them? The sudden break is even less plausible than Anakin’s “I’m sad my mom died so now I’m gonna murder children” thing. Stupid, stupid, stupid. And I don’t even like Dany, but for goodness sakes write something for her that doesn’t completely reinvent her character from one episode to the next!

I don’t care how good the source material is, the writers did a phenomenal job adapting it to the first 4 seasons. It takes real skill to do that. Which is why this latest bullshit is so unexpected.
-
I think the show deserves some criticism for the last two seasons but it was inevitable to experience a drop off. Don’t really understand how you could watch 7 and not expect 8 to be a letdown.

If you didn’t know that Dany was going to go mad and kill innocent people, then you haven’t been paying attention the previous 7 seasons.

It’s not even the overall story that has pissed me off the last few epis. It’s that they choose to include ridiculous events when it’s completely unnecessary.
Why have dragon #2 die by supposed ship sneak attack when dragon #3 can single handedly lay waste to the entire fleet + city on high alert?
Why spend another 20 minutes following Arya around again to be like hey maybe she actually dies in this sequence?
Why have Euron stab Jamie through the torso twice if you’re gonna have him immediately walk a mile to casually say high to Cersei after?
-
Oh and then when Arya does finally make it clear, she’s the only living human in sight, but then there’s also just one super chill horse hanging out nearby?

Why have dragon #2 die by supposed ship sneak attack when dragon #3 can single handedly lay waste to the entire fleet + city on high alert?
my initial response to this was like, that first kill was a total (if implausible) suprise, and now that the dragon is ready they are really no contest and never were.
then i remembered that the scorpion was already revealed at the wagon train attack and they should totally have been ready and expecting.
-
it was really good to illustrate that dragons are a superweapon beyond any living persons comprehension and that team cersei was undeservedly overconfident and complacent hiding behind their laughably insufficient technology.
-
the arcs were fine and or good (even if hamfisted in rushed execution).
I only really take exception to
-arya just being there to give us a name character POV of the razing

-jamie/cersei final moments (too lame, too nice)

So with ONE EPISODE LEFT, a report card on what Seasons 7-8 did with every major character....
Cersei Lannister: After 6 seasons of Cersei being a generally despicable character doing generally interesting things, even some smart things such as getting the jump on Ned and obliterating her enemies in the Sept, in Seasons 7-8 Cersei does.... almost nothing. She does do the smart thing of betraying her enemies in The Great War, but otherwise when she’s not banging Ueron Greyjoy she spends most of her screentime smirking at a balcony before ultimately creeping down to the basement of the Red Keep to be buried. Huh.
Jamie Lannister: After 6 amazing seasons wherein we watched Jamie transform from a despicable monster who literally pushed a kid out the window and murdered his cousin to get back to sleeping with his twin sister, to a conflicted but honorable man who aided Brienne in helping the Stark girls, Seasons 7-8 see him abandon Cersei to do the right thing, do right by Brienne, only to.... abandon Brienne and rather than return to KL to stop Cersei he tries to escape with her only to be buried under the Red Keep. Huh.
Tyrion Lannister: After 6 seasons of Tyrion generally being the best character in the show, Seasons 7-8 relegate Jim to a supporting character and he generally ranges from sucky to boring.
Dany Targ: After 6 seasons where she rises from being sold to a warlord to amassing an army and three dragons to cross the narrow sea to reclaim her throne.... in Seasons 7-8 she makes one stupid decision after another and then suddenly goes crazy and firebombs the civilians of KL for no reason whatsoever. Huh.
Jon Snow: After 6 seasons where he rises from a bastard son of Ned Stark to Lord Commander to King in the North, where the dude is literally killed and resurrected.... in Seasons 7-8 it’s finally revealed that he is the Song of Ice and Fire - the trueborn son of Targ and Stark and rightful heir to the Iron Throne. And then he basically does jack crap against the Night King, jack crap in the battle of KL, and generally sulks and claims allegiance to Dany.
Sansa Stark: She gets way too much screentime being a dumbass in Season 7-8, but to be fair that was par for the course over the entire series.
Arya Stark: Spends the first six seasons honing her craft and nursing her grudge against Cersei and then.... in Season 7-8 she jumps out of nowhere to kill the Night King and then does absolutely nothing against Cersei.
Bran Stark: Become the 3ER who can see anything in the past and control other people and animals and has some connection to the Night King and then... in Seasons 7-8 he provides some flashbacks to further the plot and then does absolutely nothing against the Night King except sit under a tree as bait because the Night King “wants to snuff out our memories.”
White Walkers: Really, I don’t need to go into this again.
Hey - they at least got Cleganbowl right!
-
They did peg the cleg bowl, respect
-
I really don’t have any issues with the Jaime/Cersei story. One of the only consistent plots throughout the entire series. The Euron battle was ridiculous but I did enjoy the “I’m the man who killed Jamie Lanister” line.

Unfortunately for Euron, nobody will ever know he even fought with Jamie Lanister. They'll find his dead body by the beach, and Jamie was crushed by debris, so both lose.

That’s why it was funny. No one really cares.

I'm really looking forward to see how Dany is going to explain herself.

Not sure she’s going to live long enough to have a chance
-
dragon though
-
This thing broken?
-
It was a good ending. I’m still deeply disappointed with the fizzling of the WW and Jamie storylines, but everything else was satisfying enough.
-
Boat loads of feel good in this one. I admit I laughed when Tyrion uncovered his siblings bodies in the rubble of the red keep. Glad it’s over.
-
I’m still processing
-
All of that for Bran? The Night's Watch is still a thing with no purpose just as method for Jon to go north? I just can't believe they put 8 seasons in just to end up with Bran.
-
i guess the joke's on us. ha ha, you got us pretty good, showrunners. eight rough ridin' years.
-
HBO missed a couple water bottles in this finale.

Bron getting all the castles. :lol:
-
I enjoyed it :Chirp:
-
This season missed a ton of context. There was way too much fast-forwarding. I think a large majority would have been fine with all the events if the development was done correctly for viewers. Hopefully GRRM can put more time into that with the books.
-
The first prequel I think has a working title of bloodmoon and is loosely based on the genesis of the house Lannister and Bran the builder and crap. I think they are already filming it.
-
pretty anti-climatic, don't really care.
when viewed in its entirety, i'd give the show a 7/10
time to move on to higher quality writing such as is found on the bachelorette and temptation island
-
For where they started, I thought the finale was fine. There was really no coming back from the way they killed off the White Walkers, though.
I’m also still confused on why they felt so rushed to end such a cash cow for HBO.
-
I am mad that Deadwood just has a movie as a finale now and that Powers Boothe and Ricky Jay are already dead. HBO has made so many mistakes.
Rome getting cancelled? YOU'RE CANCELLED HBO!
-
That was so incredibly bad. I don't even know where to start.
-
I’ve had time to think about it and it rough ridin' sucked and I hated it. Looking back at the entire season in full, it kinda sucked too. What a shitty way to end something that was so good.
-
I watched the whole show in about 2 months. I get there are circumstances with the books not being done & GRRM's writing style to not outline everything out then write the dialogue.
However, watching the show that fast, spending so much time dragging out Ramsay Bolton, Joffrey & Arya in Bravos then rushing the end is rough.
-
Weep like a baby the entire epilogue, but this hit me the most. I'm glad Jon ended up free.

Yes this is worth noting when judging the merit of the writers. Also I think I read Ramsey is not even in the books? Pretty messed up.

Oh, he's in the books.

Must have gotten that mixed up with someone else. But I guess the books did not actually depict the torture of Theon like the show did.

the original sin.

They described them after the fact. It wasn't as graphic in the books.

Many people don't talk about it, but it was/is really terrible.
-
No one watched it until years after it was canceled and hbogo became a thing.
-
final season was so so so so so so so so so so rushed
but aside from everything about being so incredibly unbelievably rushed, it was good.
-
When LOST first ended I didn't care for the finale. It was fine but I had hoped all my questions would be answered. But then I realized, it wasn't about the mysteries anymore, it was about the people. I hope this can be of some help to my grieving GoT friends.

I still don't get the point of the night king
-
I'm coming around to most of the way the series ended. The half-assed disposal of the White Walker / 3ER / Jon storyline will always be unforgivable. But at least the final episode did give Bran and Jon a purpose. The Bran selection by committee thing was a bit bizarre and rushed, but it at least made Bran something other than a plot device to show flashbacks. Likewise, Jon's arc received a meaningful end - his final act with Dany and Drogon was terrific - and his final disposition was satisfying (but why is there still a Night's Watch?!)
Dany was resolved in the best way possible, all things considered. Brienne's bit with the book was touching and another good resolution. The final small council meeting was a perfect farewell to those characters.
I'm even coming around on Jamie and Cersei. I wanted something more dramatic, but there was a poetic justice in Cersei's end. And Jamie's end makes his arc all the more tragic and compelling. Even as he evolved to see Cersei for who she really was, he couldn't stop loving her and trying to protect her. That's why he rode north - not to abandon her but to protect her - and that's why he returned south.
Even Sansa and Arya were not completely insufferable in the finale.
Agree this all would have come together a bit better, especially Dany's abrupt transformation and the final committee, had it all not been so rushed.
Questions...
Who wrote the book Sam presents at the end, and how the hell could Tyrion not even be mentioned? I get that it's supposed to be funny, but the dude was Jeoffrey's hand, then convicted of murdering Jeoffrey, then murdered Tywin Lannister, then became the Mad Queen's hand... how is it even possible that he wouldn't be mentioned?
What are Jon and Tormund doing at the very end? Going AWOL with the Free Folk, or just resettling them? And is that green sprig in the snow plus the FF headed north supposed to mean that spring has arrived? It doesn't look like Jon's aged a day so I guess it wasn't a long winter after all?
-

Apparently neither do the writers. He was the Ice Zombie Level Boss. Arya leveled up and killed him with super jump and super stealth powers.
-
I took the sprig as "a dream of spring" and that perhaps spring will reach beyond the wall now that the night king is dead.
-
I don't get why everyone thinks Dany turned so fast. Her default has been to be brutal since the beginning, but often talked out of it. I pretty successfully muted everything related to the show & unfollowed a lot of people before the season started. It wasn't until today I see a bunch of people mad about her "twist". It seemed like what she's always wanted to do and became more independent to do what she wanted as the series moved on. When her interpreter said the command to burn just before getting behead I knew she was burning everything down and tearing down the houses.
-
I didn’t watch the last 3 episodes, and at this point I don’t know if I will. The 6th season largely sucked too and people gave it a pass mostly.

I liked that they actually had a long discussion about this very topic between Jon and Tyrion in the final epi. But I’m dubious of the argument that “she’s killed people before so napalming an entire of city of civilians after they had already surrendered is not a surprise.” It would have made more sense to provide at least a little more foundation for her flip, and it would have been so easy to do. Like maybe the city surrenders and then somebody kills her second dragon (instead of the stupid Euron bit).
-
The whole burning of the city was so contrived. It left zero drama on what to do with a queen going mad, they could have had a fantastic story line just on that alone.
Cersi and Jaime ending was nonsensical, the Lannisters in exile, another great story line.
Yeah, I know it can't go on forever.

The shot of drogon taking off behind dan was awesome, albeit really on the nose

I think the beheading Missandie and Missandie saying "dracarys" as her last words was the tipping point.
-
What I loved most about this show is it helped me step away from social media a bit. Whether people are banging their chest about not watching the show, bitching because it didn't turn out the way they wanted it turn out, etc. It's just a giant cesspool of whiny snowflakes these days. Woof city!
That being said, it was fine. My moment that nobody talks about that made me sad is when they didn't put Tyrian in that book. :cry:

I took that as a joke, my good friend wackycat08

Yeah I chatted with someone today who pointed that out, and I was like. Oh yeah that was supposed to be like the biggest reveal in the show but turned out to be a complete non factor in the story.

I’m rewatching this and they really could have just completely written out Theon & anything to do with all the Grayjoys and the show would have been much better.
