How do we want Cersei to meet her end?
Apr 14th 2019
2
That witch prophesied that she'd be killed by
Apr 14th 2019
3
      Cersei is older than Jaime....so that answers that.
Apr 14th 2019
4
           It's worth noting that the "younger brother" part isn't in the show...
Apr 14th 2019
5
I'm excited but hesitant
Apr 14th 2019
6
I want the living/dead battle out of the way early
Apr 14th 2019

Khaleesi’s gotta go
Apr 14th 2019
8
I'm thinking it's week 3 just by the run times
Apr 14th 2019
10
So glad Khaleesi is finally getting called out for her shit
Apr 14th 2019
9
That was a GREAT line
Apr 14th 2019
12
      If I couldn't be burned, rode dragons and had two armies
Apr 14th 2019
14
      Also like Bernie, she wants to be the great white savior
Apr 15th 2019
39
Cersei really loves

*laff* @ that ____/____ reunion (guess spoilers?)
Apr 14th 2019
13
of all the expected reunions it's the one i overlooked
Apr 14th 2019

Oh shit!

RE: Oh shit!

Apr 15th 2019
104
           I totally thought it was, as in he'd warged the kid
Apr 15th 2019
110
for reals
Apr 15th 2019
55
is Jon gonna stop fucking his aunt?
Apr 14th 2019
15
also, if I'm Sam I'm not wasting tears on no piece of shit
Apr 14th 2019
16
i think if it wasn't his brother too it would be a bit different
Apr 14th 2019
20
      the brother I can understand being upset about.
Apr 14th 2019
23
           he was already looking on the bright side
Apr 14th 2019
26
Sheeit giving up the dragon(s) is the biggest part.
Apr 14th 2019
18
shit to me those gatdamn dragons are another burden
Apr 14th 2019
22
      ancient farming techniques....burning fields to create char
Apr 14th 2019
25
      not worth the tradeoff of cleaning up a 20 lb dragon dung pile imo
Apr 14th 2019
28
           LMAO...this is hilarious
Apr 15th 2019
44
      what do they eat?
Apr 15th 2019
56
does Jon tell her whats going on?
Apr 15th 2019
70
      imo he does.
Apr 16th 2019
143
           you think he gives up the throne?
Apr 16th 2019
151
                Well, Nedd raised him until he was old enough to join the Nights Watch
Apr 16th 2019
154
Sansa petty as fuck.
Apr 14th 2019
17
RE: Sansa petty as fuck.
Apr 14th 2019
27
Jon was skeptical of her at first too
Apr 15th 2019
34
She’s always been petty and shitty
Apr 15th 2019
35
because she was a child that got raped bro.
Apr 16th 2019
156
She was right, though, Tyrion shouldn't have believed Cersei
Apr 15th 2019
42
      From the Starks she knows Cersei Best. Where the lie in anything
Apr 15th 2019
47
           She's pragmatic and people hate that
Apr 15th 2019
49
           You bring that up in the executive meeting, not in front of the smallfol...
Apr 15th 2019

                Nah, you let the winterfall people know that you are rep'ing their POV
Apr 15th 2019

Apr 15th 2019
98
                When I was rewatching, I noticed how she kept bringing up the food thing
Apr 15th 2019
                it's weird because we have a view of both sides
Apr 15th 2019
116
           Sansa is dope. fans will never forgive her for S1
Apr 15th 2019
140
opening credits looked really good.
Apr 14th 2019
24

When Jon told Bran “you’re a man” and Bran said “almost”...
Apr 15th 2019
33
Dude is Dr. Manhattan at this point
Apr 15th 2019

Apr 15th 2019

Apr 15th 2019

kid's on the spectrum
Apr 15th 2019
82
Uhhh...did the Night King really have to send a message?
Apr 15th 2019
40
Picturing him pausing the whole march south
Apr 15th 2019
43
they tend to do that everywhere though
Apr 15th 2019
106
it’s on brand for them. They did it way back in season 3....
Apr 15th 2019
113
They did it in the first *episode*, didn't they.
Apr 15th 2019
142
      Indeed they did. I'd forgotten.
Apr 16th 2019
145
NK really loves his dead body art
Apr 15th 2019
118
Bran: No time for all of these emotions, focus on the Army of the Dead!
Apr 15th 2019
41
Me and the wife saw this too:
Apr 15th 2019
45
you say spark between Arya and Gendry
Apr 15th 2019
46
I'm unclear how old she's supposed to be
Apr 15th 2019
48
      I almost see Arya as being asexual, Sansa is probably still damaged...
Apr 15th 2019
52
      RE: I almost see Arya as being asexual, Sansa is probably still damaged....
Apr 15th 2019
112
      Like alot of long-running shows involving child actors, they play fast
Apr 15th 2019
53
      shit, I cant believe Maisie Williams is 22
Apr 15th 2019
97
Definitely thought the same with Arya
Apr 15th 2019
50
LOL he didnt give any look that was different
Apr 15th 2019
51
Jamie will apologize and Bran will be like
Apr 15th 2019
90
LOL, probably
Apr 15th 2019
99
did they tell him to channel jaden smith?
Apr 15th 2019
103
LOL
Apr 15th 2019
117
there's always been a spark, but class differences made it weird before
Apr 15th 2019
111
Winterfall must be wheelchair accessible
Apr 15th 2019
57
i dont think so. did bran ever move out of that main square?
Apr 15th 2019
60
      He’s in the meeting in the hall with Dany, Jon, and Tyrion
Apr 15th 2019
77
           My bad. No, he's not. He never leaves the courtyard
Apr 16th 2019
146
Cersei had one of the best lines of the episode.
Apr 15th 2019
61
or a werewolf
Apr 15th 2019
62
RE: or a werewolf
Apr 15th 2019
64
youre right
Apr 15th 2019
66
RE: or a werewolf
Apr 15th 2019
69
      thats true
Apr 15th 2019
72
      her being pregnant could be a lie
Apr 15th 2019
92
and for record, I know that dick was terrible.
Apr 15th 2019
63
she went right to talking about elephants after
Apr 15th 2019
129
Shrug. Some Women disagree.
Apr 15th 2019
65
RE: Cersei had one of the best lines of the episode.
Apr 15th 2019
68
yep...
Apr 15th 2019
71
Damnnn, Weebay .gif. Next level scheming.
Apr 15th 2019
73
She did touch her stomach again after he left - and Smiled
Apr 15th 2019
78
Yup. letting him fuck was business
Apr 15th 2019
83
As soon as he said he would put a prince in her
Apr 15th 2019
85
She's Queen of the Andals and protector of the realm.
Apr 15th 2019
87
      I think she's using him as insurance
Apr 15th 2019
102
      She needs to be focused on the short term right now
Apr 22nd 2019
290
at this point we should never underestimate Cersei
Apr 15th 2019
81
apparently Lena Headey was originally against it...
Apr 15th 2019
91
She earned a fake baby daddy
Apr 15th 2019
101
i think she killed a few stones with one move there
Apr 15th 2019
107
...and she might just have wanted some dingaling.
Apr 15th 2019
114
      Valerian Humpnoodlers get boring after a while.
Apr 15th 2019
122
It was the conversation before that though.
Apr 15th 2019
109
^^^
Apr 15th 2019
126
The response was also dope
Apr 16th 2019
153
Can we admit them riding dragons looks...corny?
Apr 15th 2019
74
yeah i didnt really like that part
Apr 15th 2019
76
I think the purpose was to cement the fact that Jon is a Targaryen...
Apr 15th 2019
79
It was emotionally flat, though
Apr 15th 2019
94
yep
Apr 15th 2019
95
Nah, we needed to see John ride a dragon since he's likely to be king
Apr 15th 2019
80
Yeah that's not true.
Apr 16th 2019
150
      You actually don't know what's true. So just speculate like the rest.. L...
Apr 16th 2019
152
           Yeah okay
Apr 16th 2019
157
                We all don't know, that's what makes it FUN!..
Apr 16th 2019
159
I've never liked it. even with just Dani
Apr 15th 2019
84
Nah... I’m all in on this fantasy shit.
Apr 15th 2019
86
The notion is right, the execution is terrible.
Apr 15th 2019
93
Looked like a knockoff Avatar movie
Apr 15th 2019
100
from an efx standpoint it was meh
Apr 15th 2019
108
I agree it's corny as fuck, but there might be a narrative reason.
Apr 15th 2019
138
There's a small easily miss-able part where Jon turns the Dragon
Apr 15th 2019
141
Kit Harrington apparently almost lost a testicle filming this
Apr 16th 2019
147
For comedy sake we need a creepy bran & tyrion scene
Apr 15th 2019
88
https://twitter.com/HayesBrown/status/1117610151358414848?s=19
Apr 15th 2019
89
lol yup
Apr 15th 2019
96
They would rather die by a white walker than be saved by some negra’s
Apr 15th 2019
115
yeah that was weird
Apr 15th 2019
119
When did Jamie become...decent?
Apr 15th 2019
120
there was definitely growth
Apr 15th 2019
121
It started when he and Brienne were taken by the Boltons
Apr 15th 2019
123
the Brienne time was def the most crucial
Apr 15th 2019
125
generally when he'd spend time away from Cersei
Apr 15th 2019
124
yep
Apr 15th 2019
127
That amazon broad changed him.
Apr 15th 2019
128
You're a cold bitch, aren't you? - The Hound
Apr 15th 2019
130
The Hound became one of my favorite characters
Apr 15th 2019
137
What's the weapon Arya wants Gendry to make her?
Apr 15th 2019
131
some sort of spear
Apr 15th 2019
132
I wonder if it's made to detach
Apr 15th 2019
133
its odd
Apr 15th 2019
134
      Conceptually it reminded me a BIT of this weapon
Apr 15th 2019
136
I wonder if it's a ballista arrow.
Apr 15th 2019

Here you go (link)

Theon killed Guilfoyle from Silicon and Mac from It's Always Sunny...
Apr 16th 2019

OK, I thought it looked like Mac

Apr 16th 2019
171
love the show but c'mon we're basically all in on a soap opera
Apr 16th 2019
160
A soap with blood, guts, murder and titties
Apr 16th 2019
161
WWE with dragons, nudity and decapitations
Apr 16th 2019
162
Of course we are
Apr 16th 2019
163
we know that and are ok, just like with other shows
Apr 16th 2019
164
And we like it
Apr 16th 2019
165
lol I have no qualms choosing the pronoun I did
Apr 16th 2019
166
      I mean soap opera elements are fun
Apr 16th 2019
167
           i put years into another world with my mom.
Apr 16th 2019
169
Does Cersei believe Bron would do this?
Apr 16th 2019
170
Bron ain't about to kill either of them.
Apr 16th 2019
172
I agree but I can see them trying to fuck us because we all believe that
Apr 16th 2019
173
Bronn told Tyrion back in Season 4 that he'll always give him a chance..
Apr 16th 2019
174
Especially with her paying him up front.

that knighting scene?
Apr 21st 2019

This was Brianne's episode.
Apr 21st 2019
183
      honestly it's pure joy in a series with very few bright spots
Apr 21st 2019
190
      the beauty of it is that she already embodied the oath
Apr 21st 2019

Danerys can't leave with the dragons, because one of them is

Apr 21st 2019
186
      i thought it was interesting that Jon didn't immediately..
Apr 21st 2019
191
      He seemed pissed that her first reaction was to ask about the throne
Apr 21st 2019
192
      i have to watch again. i feel like he expected that reaction
Apr 21st 2019
194
      Those dragons have corrupted her.
Apr 21st 2019
193
      i loved how they handled his reveal to her
Apr 22nd 2019
230
      I don't understand why she was willing to let Yara claim independence
Apr 22nd 2019
236
           Yeah the North is the largest chunk of Westeros
Apr 22nd 2019
251
Ser Bronn betta hope Drogon doesn't remember who shot him.
Apr 21st 2019

Predictions: Who dies next week?
Apr 21st 2019

that Bran/Night King connection is weak as fuck imo

Yeah pretty weak plot device or not great writing.

They can always be defeated as long as the memory of how to do so

204
Jon got burned back in season one
Apr 22nd 2019
223
      thats true
Apr 22nd 2019
235
Just the very idea of anyone else being on the throne makes her mad.
Apr 21st 2019

      dont blame her tho...shes otherwordly and has legit gripe

Jon and Ygritte and Sam and Gilly = the only non weird scenes
Apr 21st 2019
209
nawww that Grey Worm and Missandei scene was great
Apr 22nd 2019
211
^^THIS! I was shouting all kinds of "NO!" at the screen.
Apr 22nd 2019
215
wish they would have cut that part
Apr 22nd 2019
216
except Arya's situation is the exact opposite and is empowering
Apr 27th 2019
334
right that shit was hella weird and doesn't really fit with her..
Apr 22nd 2019
218
it EXACTLY fits with her character
Apr 27th 2019
332
Don't have a problem with it (she baked men into a pie,) but
Apr 22nd 2019
229
this is inaccurate...
Apr 29th 2019
376
I hated it
Apr 22nd 2019
257
there are already think pieces lecturing us on our reaction
Apr 22nd 2019
260
good.
Apr 23rd 2019
319
I will say, the look on Gendry's face when he saw her scars
Apr 22nd 2019
Look at pics of you and the girl you lost your virginity too tho.
Apr 29th 2019

Great episode, I didn’t think Jon was going to tell Dany the truth
Apr 22nd 2019

i dont think they showed enough to know how she really felt

Dany is awful and has no defense for her stank ass, hypocritical attitu...

shit's complicated, that's why its called Game of Thrones lol
Apr 22nd 2019
219
Thanks for that, uh, insight. Solid observation you have there. As alway...
Apr 22nd 2019
245
it's always been a struggle. her advisors have been key
Apr 22nd 2019
258
      Yep. She still needs far too many checks at this point
Apr 23rd 2019
303
What's up with Theon and Sansa?
Apr 22nd 2019
217
I think he feels bad for all that shit he did for Ramsey Bolton
Apr 22nd 2019
220
Damn I forgot Theon was around for that.
Apr 22nd 2019
224
      I'm re-watching the entire series and seeing so much that I forgot
Apr 22nd 2019
249
           same
Apr 22nd 2019

But they aren’t so....
Apr 22nd 2019

i dont know what to expect with this battle
Apr 22nd 2019

I also think a dragon neutralizes the whitewalker threat
Apr 22nd 2019
247
how they use the dragons will be interesting
Apr 22nd 2019

Most of the coalition army is essentially expendable
Apr 22nd 2019
252
      I wonder if he needs something from Bran first
Apr 22nd 2019
256
Martin would never have an epic “Good vs. Evil” battle
Apr 22nd 2019
250
its not gonna be a battle, so much as race to the Night King
Apr 22nd 2019
271
My dream scenario won't materialize, BUT here's my ideal end

The scene with the little girl in line for soup with Davos
Apr 22nd 2019
259
I think they were implying that she survived Greyscale...
Apr 22nd 2019
261
I think this kid's face was just burned.
Apr 22nd 2019
266
I guess she reminded him of Stannis' Daughter.
Apr 22nd 2019
262
she looked like a little girll Gilly to me
Apr 22nd 2019
263
I thought that was one of the best scenes in the episode!

           They mentioned a wife, too, a long time ago

heard a theory that the girl in the soup line is the Red Woman.
Apr 22nd 2019

But how cool would it be if we really did get Zombie Nedd in the crypts?
Apr 22nd 2019

It does make me wonder why they think the crypts are gonna be the safe p...
Apr 22nd 2019

they dropped the ball on the Hound
Apr 22nd 2019
278
thats true
Apr 22nd 2019
279
they don't know what to do with him
Apr 22nd 2019
281
      Seems like they ran through all the "He's a new person" story beats...
Apr 22nd 2019
284
In general, there are just too many characters at this point
Apr 22nd 2019
      this makes me wonder how on earth they will pull off
Apr 22nd 2019
293
also fuck those lil demons who ran away from missandei
Apr 22nd 2019
280
you know their parents voted for trump
Apr 22nd 2019
282
It does make sense they'd be the most racist
Apr 22nd 2019
283
      Accept Esso has slavery and it's banned in Westeros
Apr 22nd 2019
285
           That's true
Apr 22nd 2019
286
                It's hard to make a direct comparison between Essos and Westeros tho
Apr 22nd 2019
288
Dany to Sansa: They're threatened by strong women like us. Girl power
Apr 22nd 2019
291
LMAO. She cant GIVE these people freedom.
Apr 22nd 2019

I'm guessing that Dany doesn't go full Mad Queen
Apr 23rd 2019
301
Where is Daario Naharis and the Second Sons?
Apr 23rd 2019
306
Holding her territory in Essos.
Apr 23rd 2019
307
      Yeah, but you'd think that at time like this, they'd be on deck
Apr 23rd 2019
308
           I wonder if the whitewalkers are really a threat to Essos
Apr 23rd 2019
309
                Not sure how/if winter affects Essos
Apr 23rd 2019
311
                Well here's some info on that
Apr 24th 2019
322
not one of these smart ass characters is skeptical of the crypts?
Apr 23rd 2019
313
is NK's power with those of who were killed by him/whitewalkers tho?
Apr 23rd 2019
314
Jon and them burned all the wildlings they killed
Apr 23rd 2019
315
      Yeah, that's why they're going straight for the Night King.
Apr 23rd 2019
318
Arent they a bunch of skeletons and dust at this point?
Apr 23rd 2019
316
You don't remember when Bran, Meera, and Jojen were entering the cave?
Apr 24th 2019
320
      Was Cat's body ever recovered?
Apr 24th 2019
323
           I don't recall there every being anything about Cat's body
Apr 24th 2019
328
Pretty big oversight for Jon and Tormund
Apr 23rd 2019
317
      Sam's the brains of the operation, he should know this, too
Apr 24th 2019
324
"Yeahhh, that's what I'd do if I was the Night King!"
Apr 24th 2019
321
So the theory- Night King has bypassed Winterfell on to King's Landing.
Apr 24th 2019
325
I don't buy it, but it brings up a question
Apr 24th 2019
326
It's a really dumb theory
Apr 24th 2019
327
      I agree it's probably not going to happen, but...
Apr 24th 2019
330
           Raise the dead. Who then spend a month walking to Winterfell.
Apr 24th 2019
331
Yeah i'm not buying it either. I think Winterfell falls and they flee
Apr 24th 2019
329
      I don’t buy Winterfall falling.
Apr 27th 2019
333
           There havent been any major battles yet.
Apr 27th 2019

Yo Sophie Turner aka Sansa has no chill 😂😂😂

Love her. LMAO
Apr 27th 2019

Bran gonna have a tough time
Apr 28th 2019
338
Before this starts, I'm saying that "Keep the Dragons in God's Wood...
Apr 28th 2019
339
Made no sense at all
Apr 28th 2019
343
that pissed me off to no end.
Apr 28th 2019
348
they couldnt risk losing another dragon to the night king
Apr 29th 2019
458
I changed my mind, i'm not ready for the hurt thats coming
Apr 28th 2019
340
Ayra for the fucking win!!!
Apr 28th 2019
341
No it didn’t.
Apr 28th 2019
346
      Yes, it actually did.
Apr 28th 2019

           As epic as Solo: A Star Wars Story maybe
Apr 29th 2019

In all fairness, the show has never been big into Azor Ahai prophecy
Apr 29th 2019
371
      Thats what angers me though
Apr 29th 2019

           The flashbacks more have to do with Jon being king tho

Apr 29th 2019
397
      I'm aware. That was lazy convenient writing on their part.
Apr 29th 2019

      That's fine but there's so much more to the prophecy than just prince/ss

What do we say to the god of death? Not today!

I thought the first 20 minutes was amazing
Apr 28th 2019

night king dumb as hell tho tbh
Apr 28th 2019
350
Well if you really wanna get deep how did Arya get past all the other...
Apr 28th 2019
352
      yup nk goons are worthless
Apr 28th 2019
355
      She was one of them
Apr 28th 2019
363
           she would have had to have killed one
Apr 29th 2019
367
      He hit the pause button on his army tho didn't he?
Apr 29th 2019
372
      With her being trained as a silent assassin and all, I could get that
Apr 29th 2019
373
      so show her sneaking up on him.
Apr 29th 2019
420
      That would kind of kill the surprise wouldn't it?
Apr 29th 2019
431
           nah.
Apr 29th 2019
443
           yep, they literally showed her sneaking like a boss
Apr 29th 2019
459
      Not really tho. They all stood there while Theon charged him as well.
Apr 30th 2019
496
      RE: Well if you really wanna get deep how did Arya get past all the othe...
Apr 30th 2019

How I wanted the NK to die;
Apr 28th 2019
351
When he yelled Theon loud... I was like.. he's going to warg him
Apr 28th 2019
353
      when he told him he was a good man...
Apr 28th 2019
354
Misdirection was good...

Good suspense doesn't require not knowing what's going to happen.
Apr 29th 2019

Come on, NO
Apr 29th 2019
451
      lmao, he trippin
Apr 29th 2019

I'ma just say it. That shit was wack.
Apr 28th 2019
364
Grrm never putting another book out in this series
Apr 28th 2019
365
Oh. You know something he doesn't?
Apr 29th 2019
368
I kinda agree, but that first 25 minutes was the most intense shit ever
Apr 29th 2019
369
I’ve never been that nervous watching a tv show
Apr 29th 2019
379
Ay, I’m very much a “Books>>>>,” but this is it’s own thing now
Apr 29th 2019
370
I hope the books goes more into the walkers interacting
Apr 29th 2019
377
I agree with not enough major characters being killed
Apr 29th 2019
374
Wack is too strong of a word
Apr 29th 2019
378
they were the achilles
Apr 29th 2019
381
im fine with the episode what seems weird to me
Apr 29th 2019
383
I think they knew there was no way the battle could be satisfying.
Apr 29th 2019
390
they can script it well but Sophie Turner can't act
Apr 29th 2019
395
are you serious? I think she's awesome I love her character's growth
Apr 29th 2019
402
dead serious. she's usually the weak link in her scenes
Apr 29th 2019
404
this is pretty ridiculous
Apr 29th 2019
421
it was a good decision to do this midway
Apr 29th 2019
426
really it was almost like 2 shows, one was the "game of thrones" and the...
Apr 29th 2019
398
Yup.
May 03rd 2019
566
I loved it, but too many characters survived.
Apr 29th 2019
382
yeah I felt like almost all the main characters surviving was cartoonish...
Apr 29th 2019
384
both of her dragons are alive and kicking
Apr 29th 2019
385
I thought the one Jon was riding died
Apr 29th 2019
387
      Severely injured at least.
Apr 29th 2019
389
      Plus Drogon had a bunch of zombies jump on his back stabbing him...

      RE: I thought the one Jon was riding died
Apr 29th 2019
396
arya is the most believeable
Apr 29th 2019
403
To be fair, the majority of the main characters *are* the best fighters.
Apr 29th 2019
410
Jon and Brienne were good but not that good, Jamie wasn't shit with one....
Apr 29th 2019
417
Brienne was very good. One of the best.
Apr 29th 2019
438
There's no excuse for Jamie living. Dude had ONE hand.
Apr 29th 2019
425
Jaiime talked the dothraki being the best fighters he's ever seen
Apr 29th 2019
435
      I originally thought he'd be in charge of the wall defense
Apr 29th 2019
444
nah. maybe a few. but they were all on the front lines.
Apr 29th 2019
475
i agree. it's lesser show shit
Apr 29th 2019
448
Jorah retreating with a face of dread could've been perfect

Dany was a superhero.
Apr 29th 2019

all in all it was a good episode
Apr 29th 2019
399
The plan before she saw the Dothraki die...
Apr 29th 2019
413
      i forgot about that, she did do that and it did help
Apr 29th 2019
414
           Gendry was there in the battle

422
                cool, ill have to look for him when i rewatch it
Apr 29th 2019
430
                     Re-watching it, and he's there in the battle a lot
Apr 30th 2019
546
I’m sorry, but how was Bran a threat?
Apr 29th 2019
400
He was more a goal than a threat.
Apr 29th 2019
405
He's also the magical history of Westeros.

Can we talk abut how the Women SAVED Winterfell?
Apr 29th 2019
406
what did Brienne do?
Apr 29th 2019
411
      Lead the troops into battle. Saved many during retreat.
Apr 29th 2019
415
           she was at the front then sneaked back in the castle while most of...
Apr 29th 2019
416
                Sneaked? I think you mean retreated into the castle.
Apr 29th 2019
432
                     its just weird to me that all the "leaders" that were at the front...

Apr 29th 2019
447
                          How may Medieval times battles have you fraught?

408
All yall saying Bran didn't do nothing got to check this theory
Apr 29th 2019
412
Cool
Apr 29th 2019
424
fixed the timeline how?
Apr 29th 2019
428
If he gave her the knife last season what does he have to go fix?
Apr 29th 2019
433
yeah i'm confused
Apr 29th 2019
450
The argument
Apr 29th 2019
454
He fixed the timeline by going back in time last season to give Arya the
Apr 29th 2019
455
I don’t think he fixed the timline
Apr 29th 2019
436
That seems complicated
Apr 29th 2019
440
About as good as the theory the Night King was going to Kings Landing
Apr 29th 2019
445
Perfect quote from twitter regarding character deaths
Apr 29th 2019
427
True. Ain’t no way Sam, Jamie and Brienn survive that onslaught
Apr 29th 2019
434
Brienne got mobbed by wights TWICE lol
Apr 30th 2019
497
Sam was completely covered AND they showed Jon not saving him
Apr 30th 2019
502
      after Jon saw the Night King raise up those dead people around him...
Apr 30th 2019
505
^^^^
Apr 29th 2019
449
So if Bran's whole purpose was to be a decoy to distract the NK...
Apr 29th 2019
437
it actually worked though
Apr 29th 2019
456
      ^^^ basically
Apr 29th 2019
477
anyone not feeling that.. I have only this to say to you:
Apr 29th 2019
439
Also that was probably the weakest castle defense in the history of GoT....
Apr 29th 2019
452
how do you have the perfect infantry defense (unsullied pikemen)
Apr 29th 2019
464
      right they just sent the Dothraki out there to die by themselves...
Apr 29th 2019
465
           maybe theyll claim no one really tells the dothraki what to do
Apr 29th 2019
472
I thought the battle with the White Walkers would be the big battle
Apr 29th 2019
462
their forces are fucked right now
Apr 29th 2019
466
Yeah, ALL of Dany's loyal troops are gone
Apr 29th 2019
467
      I'm assuming Cersei comes to them
Apr 29th 2019
469
           It's funny, though, because the promo for next week...
Apr 29th 2019
474
           This is what I see happening (re: Tyrion)
Apr 29th 2019
478
           Eh, no way Cersei's coming North
Apr 29th 2019
483
                they're def setting Tyrion up for a W
Apr 29th 2019
493
                Right? The fuck I look like marching towards the white walking dead?
Apr 30th 2019
504
I'm guessing that this was the last "big" battle of the season
Apr 29th 2019
485
This is like LOST all over again.
Apr 29th 2019
463
Nothing is as bad as Lost
Apr 29th 2019
489
      Thrones is a better show, but this final season
Apr 29th 2019
495
           Yeah, they gotta stick the landing.
Apr 30th 2019
524
           i still don't think it's that extreme
Apr 30th 2019
532
                Thrones the better show
Apr 30th 2019
537
                     yep. the last episode confirmed it.
Apr 30th 2019
538
                     I hear you. I'm at least glad they're not ending on it
May 02nd 2019
560
Man I would love a time jump right now.
Apr 29th 2019
468
They've only got 3 episodes left
Apr 29th 2019
470
good thing the remaining episodes are all around 1:20
Apr 29th 2019
473
      imo it would be too cold to march an army to Winterfell
Apr 30th 2019
544
Winter has started.
Apr 29th 2019
471
im not gonna lie ive fast forwarded through more than one
Apr 29th 2019

You’re crazy she’s the star of the show and the GOAT villain...

Watching it again the Red Woman basically told Arya to go kill the...
Apr 29th 2019
486
So y'all think Jon really woulda beat NK 1 on 1?
Apr 29th 2019
487
jon could've went heads up w/ him for long enough
Apr 29th 2019
491
I wouldn't have been mad at this
Apr 30th 2019
533
would have called back to the Ned/Howland Reed move too
May 01st 2019
552
all Ive seen NK do is raise his hands
Apr 29th 2019
494
Right, but fwiw he threw that spear and killed Viserion
Apr 30th 2019
534
the NK certainly did
Apr 30th 2019
498
lol...
Apr 30th 2019

Jon has killed two WW Generals 1 on 1 already

I assume they grow up to be Walkers and grow quickly

As visually stunning as that flaming dothraki scene was,
Apr 30th 2019
500
The original plan was for Dany to light the flames
Apr 30th 2019
501
I thought she was suppposed to light it after they retreated
Apr 30th 2019
542
it was stupid
Apr 30th 2019
507
I can’t see how any soldier wants to keep fighting after that nonsense...
Apr 30th 2019
508
      Or at least use them to burn their dead
Apr 30th 2019
509
woulda been dope to see the whole battlefield go up in flames
Apr 30th 2019
511
were the Knights of the Vale even there??
Apr 30th 2019
512
I was thinking knights of the vale might be like 50-100 dudes.
Apr 30th 2019
513
is that how many Cersei has?
Apr 30th 2019
516
      i believe the gold company is 20k men
Apr 30th 2019
517
      I just think of Knights as being super rare. Shit Brienne JUST became
Apr 30th 2019
518
           Yeah, not everybody in the Vale army is a "Knight of the Vale."
Apr 30th 2019
526
                hmm, i didn't know that.
Apr 30th 2019
539
                     I should admit, I don't actually know for sure.
Apr 30th 2019

Looked like there were bird sigils on some shields before the fight
Apr 30th 2019

Cersei can turn little Robin if she offers him some "food"
Apr 30th 2019
515
      By food do you mean breastmilk?

I saw their shields scattered among the carnage.

           Agreed. Arya is p4p the rawest in Westeros.

Tyrion's needs to do it fast.

Nah, I'm with Varys.
May 06th 2019
634
did they really think Cersei was going to me like "my bad..."...
May 06th 2019
612
After he already found out that she backed off her promise
May 06th 2019
616
exactly lol...
May 06th 2019
619
Well, Tyrion did get to sneak in an implication that Euron's "prince"
May 06th 2019
621
      That occurred to me. Would have liked a camera pan to Euron then.
May 06th 2019

Seeing the show really start to struggle past beyond the Source Material
May 06th 2019

Sure it makes any sense at all that Missandei was even on the damn boat

... a younger brother right? And she's been on Arya's kill list for the longest. This is gonna sound farfetched, but the theory that Jaime dies (nobly), Arya steals his face, and returns to King's Landing to kill Cersei herself *kinda* makes sense

5. "It's worth noting that the "younger brother" part isn't in the show..."
In response to Reply # 4


  

          

...version of the prophecy. It ends with her three children dying.

However, if they went with the book version, about the "valonqar" aka little brother, it's also worthing that the Witch says **the** valonqar, not ***your** valonqar. Cersei always assumes it means Tyrion.

However, there's a theory that she will die in childbirth, giving birth to twins. The "first" will a daughter, and the second, which kills her, will be a dwarf boy.

I just got done rewatching the series, and the difference in quality btw the book seasons and the off book seasons is enormous.

I'm excited of course because I love how great Game of Thrones can be when it's on, but those last few seasons...gatdamn.

In response to Reply # 13


          


I got confused at the end of the episode. I was thinking to myself "Wait, have Bran and Jaime met? Is this some mystery they're gonna reveal next time?"

Wasn't until just now that I remembered when they met. A lot's happened in this show.

Interesting how it was right at the end of the episode again.

This episode actually mimicked the opening episode several times. The Umber kid was doing Bran's intro to the show, Arya was doing Theon/Jon's intro to the show (I forget who was watching the Baratheon parade like that). Those were the two that stuck with me since they were so early and obvious but I felt like there were a few more besides these three.

15. "is Jon gonna stop fucking his aunt?"
In response to Reply # 0


          

Or does he keep the tradition of Targaryen incest alive?

Now it's pretty obvious that Jon's not interested in any big leadership positions, but being king of the seven kingdoms is a pretty hard thing to say no to. If I am rightfully the heir to the throne and all the perks it contains, is it possible to walk away? I feel like Maester Aemon at some point mentioned walking away from the crown, and I really need to see Jon drawing parallels to his uncle's? great-uncle's? predicament.

Sam started crying even before he knew about the brother tho. And don't get me wrong, I freaking love Sam. I just don't want to see him feeling bad over a man who while perhaps gifted on the battlefield, was an otherwise piece of garbage.

In response to Reply # 18


          

If I am not trying to terrify the continent into submission, they seem pretty useless to me. Just another (gigantic) mouth to feed.

Now obviously they'll be useful to beat the walkers, but what's thier use beyond that?

(I admittedly am not a pet person, and those dragons just seem like bigass pets with a limitless capacity to kill.)

But I think the point of the Dragons is to keep would-be-adversaries at bay.

Granted, it doesn't stop an intimate death but it makes it hard to march an army up to the kingdom.

In response to Reply # 15


  

          

im very curious how the news is going to be delivered to Danny and by who. especially curious how she will take it.

not so much the sex stuff but Jon being the king and her needing to bend the knee to him. i cant see him asking her to do that.

143. "imo he does."
In response to Reply # 70


          

I think one of the big shocks for Jon is Ned Stark lying. Honorable, upstanding, dependable Ned Stark was a true blue liar.

One of the most consistent themes in the series is the notion of kids doing better or *trying* to do better than their parents. You see it with Daenerys trying not to burn every person who opposes her, you see it with it Sansa not being naive and trusting like Ned, fuck you even see it with Ramsay taking this savage shit to levels his father can't even imagine. So what I think is going to happen is Jon (or Aegon I guess) is going to tell Dany the truth, and also punctuate the fact that he is vacating his claim of the throne. I really think he is going to do better than Ned regarding lying for decades about his heritage, and the conflict is seeing how Dany is going to respond to what he tells her. I mean that's my hope, but we'll see what the writers do.

151. "you think he gives up the throne?"
In response to Reply # 143


  

          

i guess that would go with his character.

i watched s1 ep 2 last night. when jon asked ned who his mom was ned told jon that he is a stark, that he shares his blood. they would talk about his mom next time they met.

im sure he did tell him at some point before that he was his son, or at least told others. i doubt he could have been that slick with words with everyone but i bet you they do a flashback to that convo.

he did tell robert the womans supposed name. i dont know if that was also some slick way to not lie and that was a name his sister went by that not many people knew.

the other thing that i questioned about ned last night was why he would allow jon to go to the wall if he promised his sister to protect him. i guess because ned really didnt believe there was an actual threat.

154. "Well, Nedd raised him until he was old enough to join the Nights Watch"
In response to Reply # 151
Tue Apr-16-19 10:49 AM by Marauder21

  

          

So I think he thought his job of protecting him was done. Because once he takes the black, he's supposed to lose any inheritance claims (which he never would've had) and wouldn't have been in a position where he could've threatened Robert. I'm guessing that's why Robert never went after Aemon Targaryen. By joining the Night's Watch, Jon was unknowingly removing himself from ever being a threat to Robert even if he did find out the truth and would no longer be seen as a threat to his legitimacy.

Or at the very least, once he joins the Night's Watch, he'll be trained to take care of himself and have a whole brotherhood looking out for him. Kinda like how some parents will treat their job of raising their kids as "done" when they graduate high school.

It is a very valid line of thought, but it's already going to be a tough sell making these people embrace a foreign army. You don't make it worse by making it seem like you are taking food out of their kid's mouths.

They've already seen both her and Jon in the trenches, so their loyalty and to the North is not in question.

What is questionable are these new people, and their place in Winterfell and the North at large. First integrate the new people so they consider them part of the family, then bring up supplies and food. Now in the background you still look to get more food, and maybe as a whole you announce to everybody rations are being tightened, but don't make it seem as if people who are here to help fight the enemy are burdens.

in season 7. Making sure that Winterfell had enough provisions for the entire North, and she finally does it when all of a sudden OOPS, here's thousands of more people and some dragons, feed them, too.

I relate hard to having to do a thing and then being told when you're done that actually you have to do something completely different because something changed on their end.

there's a notable difference between people who have experienced the dead and who haven't.

I get Sansa's side of it and how its a balancing act, and she's hardened quite a bit from going through so much, and doesn't have much faith in other people. but like you i get uncomfortable with her always publicly disrespecting Jon. I think she does trust and respect him but at the same time there's still that part of her who looks down on him.

Loved that moment, the little "surprise motherfucker" look Bran gives him is perfect.

Was I imagining things or was there a spark between Arya and Gendry?

Yep to all of this. This is why I was bummed when Rickon died. Ned’s line basically died with Rickon.

She looks like she 14ish which is probably her age on the show. But in that universe bleeding = woman.

I thought Gendry said something when they parted that alluded to them hooking up if they ever saw each other again but I cant remember

In response to Reply # 41


  

          

My sister read the books so she's more familiar with this so credit to her, but Gendry was one of the first runaways to learn who Arya really was and he soured on her a bit because of her highborn status, but during their bonding at some point Arya proposes to him (can't remember if it's for the Starks to adopt him like Jon or Theon or an actual idea for marriage) and Gendry shrugs it off joking that he'd always have to call her "m'lady" regardless since he was still a scrubby nothing from the Bottoms.


They did a callback to that in this episode but Gendry definitely seemed a little more openly flirtatious, knowing what he knows now about his heritage.

"If you want a whore, buy one. If you want a Queen, earn her"

With that line, she could have won the battle of the sexes, instead she fucked up by letting Euron fuck.

I know there were male writers who wrote that shit cause a female writer would have never had them fucking. There's no upside for her in them fucking, he gains everything and she gets nothing. I woulda been more satisfied if she had fucked undead Mountain. At least he's tall.

as far as feminism goes, maybe she just wanted a nut? she told him she likes how arrogant he is. i would be surprised if she didnt do it for a strategic reason as well.

Naw, I don't buy that. I sincerely think the sex wasn't great, and him begging her to compare him to previous lovers shows his insecurity and speaks to a lack of confidence in his skills. She's really not asking for much, and even if she did just want a nut she could have fucked somebody who less obviously a scumbag.

right since Jaime left and cousin Lancel got saved then blown up she probably needed some dick

Jaime Lannister abandoned her. She can't say the baby she is carrying is from Jaime (who is now a traitor to the Lannister cause). She can now say the baby is Euron's and then plot to kill him and still control the Iron fleet.

In response to Reply # 68


          

She's already an unconventional leader, and as unreliable as Euron is she could have chosen any random follower. Marry the first son of a house with a lot of farmland, marry a slave master from Quarth, marry dude from the Golden Company.

Marry somebody who's bringing something to the table, not the the man that killed his father, kidnapped his sister, and wants nothing from you but the throne.

Obviously Cersi has always believed in the power of her pussy, but her fucking with Euron is short sighted and not inline with what Tywin would have done.

102. "I think she's using him as insurance"
In response to Reply # 87


  

          

in case either Jamie doesn't come back (he won't, but on some level she probably thinks it's still possible) or she can't find someone else. The one thing that both Starks and Lannisters are both consistent on is how much they don't trust Greyjoys, so I think she's doing everything with Euron knowing that he's the only one by her side . . . for now.

I also thought she might've been trying to use him as a cover for Jaime's baby but that might just be a side benefit.

Right now, she needs to defeat Dany's army and he can help alot with that. The Iron Islands are also an escape destination if Westeros is overrun by white walkers.

I think she gave him some bc she needs him, to some degree, and she's attracted to his extreme arrogance (one thing he's got in common with old Jaime).

She can maneuver her way into a better situation later.. if there is a later... but for right now, nobody else is as useful an ally.

109. "It was the conversation before that though."
In response to Reply # 61


  

          

Bruh that whole alliance is on a fucking tightrope over some pussy. Euron is wild unstable and was willing to pack his whole fleet up if he ain't get to fuck that night. A fair amount of time passed since the last season. So dude is like "Ma, come on now."

So either she just wanted to fuck, she gave him the pussy to not risk him fucking up her plans, or both.

IMO they both need each other. Cercei ain't moving the needle without that fleet and it's not like Euron got shit going on over in the Iron Islands besides dumb shit.

But only Euron is wild enough to roll out in the middle of a war.

94. "It was emotionally flat, though"
In response to Reply # 79


  

          

It's always goofy seeing them try to make Emilia Clarke on those big mechanical rigs look natural once the CGI is thrown over it, and this very much looked like old school video game FMV where the computer graphics are clearly existing on top of the photography.


But narratively, it just didn't register that this was a big deal to either of them. It was the equivalent of Dany offering Jon a pickled cucumber, Jon saying, "but I've never had regular cucumber" and Dany convincing him to eat the pickle first.


One of The Ringer's articles today made the point that this scene would've had a little more impact and a lot more emotional weight / consequence if it had closed the episode AFTER Sam told Jon of his heritage. Then you get the confirming he's not who people think he is for the audience, but you also have Jon having to fight with accepting that and you can also pivot away from the goofy, Marvel-like flirtation scene once they land and instead move into a cliffhanger of, "hey, I didn't really expect you to be so good at that since you need Valyrian blood to ride a dragon at all, but you were exceptionally natural at that, even compared to me when I first rode a dragon...sup with that, huh?"

Oh well, still a good episode!

It might be how Danaerys gets convinced that he really is a Targaryen. I even got the impression that she had been noticing how the dragons respond to him, and she put him on a dragon to test her hypothesis. Like she herself was figuring out who he is.

Then again, immediately afterward she got all flirty with him. So maybe she's just happy that he gets along with the kids.

He sees the waterfall and turns the Dragon to head in that direction. You can see Dany is surprised by it. He's not just riding the dragon, its actually letting him drive. I think that will come up again. The execution could have been better but i figured they had to fit it in somewhere early

In response to Reply # 120


  

          

Losing his hand seriously humbled him, and in Brienne he finally had someone who saw him as the honorable man he's always envisioned himself as (and that she's every bit the duty-driven knight he could've been.) I'd argue their relationship (whatever its nature, I know a lot of people want them to end up together) is what swung him around.

In response to Reply # 120


  

          

he'd started gaining humanity and decency. Cersei would bring him back in since she was his primary motivation (I mean, she's the reason he pushed Bran to begin with).

it's been a gradual shift, but their last scene together was the tipping point.

almost literally any scene of him away from Cersei...

is of him either trying not to be an asshole to everyone or at least trying to be as least assholish as he can get away with

he's always been a bit of the boyish type...generally decent but easily pushed towards mischief

if he feels cornered or threatened...he's ruthless but still often requires external motivation.

So she can turn it from a spear into a shorter weapon if she needs. That was the first thing I thought.

Granted, in execution it seems it'd be fairly different, but the basic concept of this weapon in this game was that you had a close range weapon that was agile and easy to handle that with the flick of a wrist would become a medium-long range weapon with a completely different skillset required to use it effectively.

(The big dragon-killing crossbow, I mean.)

I wonder if she wants to steal it and fire a dragon-glass-tipped spear to kill the demon dragon. I don't know why she'd be the one with that job on her mind. But it should definitely be a priority for team living.

wrote an episode of Sunny in Philadelphia two or so seasons ago if memory serves me right and at least one of them made a brief cameo on the show. The cameo episode was when they went to a water park; I'm not sure if both writers made a cameo in that same episode or not.

or is it just kind of a what has she got to lose thing by hoping he'll go for the gold?

IF he does for the gold, I think it would be a huge misstep on the show's part. I know we've established Bron puts himself first, and "fights without honor" and all that, but I don't see him as an entirely unprincipled trash human who would sell out Tyrion and Jaimie like that.

In response to Reply # 170


  

          

...to double what he's been offered by anyone else.

I can see a scenario where Bronn kills Jamie, then offers to spare Tyrion for the "double" payment. Tyrion agrees, Bronn lowers the crossbow, and Poddrick sneaks up on him and kills him.

Which would be lame, but the show would do something like that at this point in its evolution.

I'll be very disappointed if there isn't more to this story.

I fear this might be the kind of thing that used to turn out very interesting when Martin was writing the story, but has turned into boring TV plot tropes ever since.

I saw Sofian above, earlier tonight, mention a "Brienne scene" and stopped reading to avoid spoilers. Then when I watched the episode there were like four scenes that I saw and thought "Oh, maybe that's the Brienne scene."

But yeah, that knighting scene was one of the great GoT moments.

Just to see everybody so supportive of her, the love and faith in Jaime's eyes when did it, Tormund being genuinely happy for her even if doesn't understand southern culture norms, Brienne herself tearing up.

Very rarely am I able to say on first watch that a scene is standout, but that scene is definitely one of my favorites of the series.

In response to Reply # 186


  

          

jump to saying he doesn't want it, since that's been his go-to reaction to being thrust into leadership positions.

i think Sam asking if she'd give it up the throne for the greater good stuck with him.

She's come off entitled as hell these last two episodes. She seems to always need to be talked down from her immediate reactions to situations where she feels she's not getting her proper respect.

193. "Those dragons have corrupted her."
In response to Reply # 191


          

Absolute power corrupting absolutely.

When she was a nobody she was the paragon of justice.

Now that she's the most powerful person in the world, a bit of Viserys is coming out. And she doesn't notice it because she's too used to seeing herself as the breaker of chains.

Whatever happens, if there's any kind of "happy ending" to the series I think the dragons will have to die.

230. "i loved how they handled his reveal to her"
In response to Reply # 186


  

          

he didnt jump out and say the throne is mine. he let her connect the dots. she brings up a good point about bran and sam being the ones that told him. most folks would be suspicious about that. a very convenient fact for him.

then they leave us hanging on how they both feel about it and what they will decide to do if they survive this.

i think its possible that dany bends the knee back. she was okay with her brother being the king until it was obvious he sucked. then she was the last of her people so she had to take the reign. maybe this is a wake up call and she decides to step aside.

maybe she says nope and we have a battle.

maybe they decide that why does the gender decide whos the next inline? why wouldnt it be the oldest living seed of the last king?

maybe one or both of them die next week.

well done.

236. "I don't understand why she was willing to let Yara claim independence"
In response to Reply # 186


  

          

for the Iron Islands but can't do the same for the North. It's the exact same argument (people sick of having a far-off king decide things for them) and if anything the North has a better historical claim to be independent. Is it just because it's so much bigger/more valuable territory than the Iron Islands?

In response to Reply # 236


  

          

and more relevant than those shitstained rocks Yara calls home.

She probably sees the map in her head and thinks hell nah. Part of her just likes conquering places. Obviously Jon/Sansa come into play here. Dani feels threatened that Sansa refuses to kiss her ass. She was feeling like Uncle Junior in and that Jamie scene

In response to Reply # 187


          

I think using him as bait is gonna cost him and Night King shows his ass, which gives them intel they need to defeat him in one of the subsequent episodes

it appears either NK or Bran can survive

it looks like killing the NK ends the threat and killing Bran would likely be the end for humans

In response to Reply # 187
Sun Apr-21-19 11:25 PM by mrhood75

  

          

Definitely:

GreyWorm
Brienne (becomes a knight, then dies a night)
Jorah
Beric (if for no other reason to be "resurected" one last time by the Night's King
Varys (The Red Woman prophesized his death last season. He dies in the Crypts after the Night King raises the dead down there)


Maybe to Probably
Theon (seemed like they were suggesting something between him and Sansa, which was weird. But maybe there going the full redemption arc)
Bran (seems like one Stark has to die. Doesn't really have a purpose now)
Tormund (sadly yes)
Pod (though he's more likely to make
Ed (close to definitely)

Longshots
The Hound (still has to fight his brother in King's Landing)
Jamie
Davos
Drogon
Arya
Samwell (The Martin stand-in who writes the Song of Ice and Fire after its all over)
Gendry (I think he makes it; last Barratheon standing)

In response to Reply # 198


  

          

WTF is Jon thinking. He ain't.

1) Daeny losing her temper at the drop of a dime, ready to burn people up. Then yo dumb azz gone tell her that you the real King of Westeros.

2) You are putting people in the crypts? The Crypts?! The Night King raises his hand and dead people start to walk. That's where you are thinking people are going to be safe. Stupid m-fer.

3) Everybody gettin it in. You downstairs looking at pictures of your auntie/momma when you should be boning your girl/auntie.

4) Tell that chick that you don't want the damn Iron Throne. You just want her and to chill in the North. But shit. Yall get married. She is the Queen anyway so...??..???

In response to Reply # 0


          

I mean the three eyed raven is the one protecting the living from an endless night? What??? I don't buy it. Wasn't the last raven in his cave for like a thousand years? Not interacting with any humans, only children of the forest? I don't get how this is the protector of humanity when he doesn't interact with humans at all, and his overall humanity is questionable. They gotta do better than that, or at least grrm gotta explain it better in the last books.

I think they overstated the value of Bran to the Night King. Wiping out humanity is their goal and part of that is wiping out the memory of man. He is not the prize, but the job isn't done until he is gone too.

the actor on jimmy kimmel said he was the protector of the living and whos to say the night king isnt alive. it was said in jest but i have to give the show the benefit of the doubt that there will be a good payoff on this.

this whole season so far has been payoff after payoff.

If she decides she gonna take it out on Sansa, Arya ass will two face her and assassinate her.

In response to Reply # 203


  

          

it was gross and it took me out of the episode. they could have handled it similar to how they did the Sansa and Ramsay Bolton scene with Theon.

Tired of all the sexualization of young looking girls. Think that's more of a me problem, but its been all over popular media/culture for a while now and it sickens me.

334. "except Arya's situation is the exact opposite and is empowering"
In response to Reply # 216


          

her character is a young woman who has experienced a tremendous amount of trauma, was homeless and has had to literally fend for herself in a male-dominated world

she has survived, matured and CONQUERED, is now a certified bad-ass and is feeling empowered enough to CHOOSE her sexual partner at an age of maturity. She was not being raped or used or degraded or coerced in any way in that scene, unlike most of the other women in series

Y'all should have been CHEERING during this scene, except for your ingrained patriarchy and sexism blocking you from doing so.

In response to Reply # 218


          

Arya has been ALL about owning her own power and being who she wants to be

its never seen as weird when a male comes into his sexuality but its weird for a female to?

at some point, isn't it normal for every human to have sexual urges?

plus like she said, THEY BOUT TO DIE

who isn't trying to fuck if the world is ending?

..Arya's crush on Gendry started in the 1st & 2nd season (during their attempted escape from King's Landing). They bonded throughout quite an adventure (Gold Cloaks, BWOB, & Stannis). She once suggested that he join her (headed to Winterfell), but he declined (reminding them of their origins).

Fast forward a few years to S8E2 (reunited at Winterfell) and the entire convo between Gendry & Arya @ the forge was foreplay. Not sure how anyone could miss that.

I was like please no, no, NOOO

Like I'm fine with the idea of it but they showed too much. Should have alluded to it more IMO. Arya taking her shirt off was disturbing. I've never had such a visceral, negative reaction to a sex scene.

565. "Uncomfortable to watch but I thought it was a great moment."
In response to Reply # 407


  

          

The show has been on ten years now. We literally watched Arya, and the actress who played her, grow up over that time.

Time to stop thinking of her as a helpless girl bent on revenge.

She's a grown ass woman, wise beyond her years, and has a normal woman's appetite.

Ended up being good setup for ep 3.

213. "Great episode, I didn’t think Jon was going to tell Dany the truth"
In response to Reply # 0


          

during this episode, I was glad he did. That scene and the way he did it was exciting to watch.

Dany didn’t take that revelation very well at all. Which makes me wonder, will she abandon Jon and take her dragons to the Iron Islands. Dany now knows Yara is freed and sailing to take back the Iron Islands for Dany. It doesn’t appear that she will in the trailer, as it showed Jon and Dany standing with each other but if the battle starts to go bad I wonder if she will just leave.

at most she was still incredulous. its definitely a shock and anyone would have to take a moment to take it in. they did set it up as to make her seem reluctant to accept it but we will see what the battle does.

i wonder if jon accepts his real name or sticks with jon snow.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

She's in the north.

A people who were not only deeply wronged by Dany's greatest living enemy, but by Dany's family as well.

For a ruler who wants to "break the wheel" and not repeat the cycle of prior generations, she sure seems hellbent on keeping it firmly in tact.

She refers to this shit with the Night King as as "Jon's war", despite previously coming to a clear understanding that this is a grave threat to everyone.

Yet.... she wouldn't help unless Jon BENT THE KNEE.

Sam was 100 last week: Jon put his people ahead of his crown. Would she do the same?

She's certainly doesn't give the impression she would.

She's using a power position. Good for her. But there's a clear contrast with her and Jon right now, and she certainlyooks like another spin of that wheel.

258. "it's always been a struggle. her advisors have been key"
In response to Reply # 214


  

          

in getting her this far. when she doesn't listen to them she tends to do strategically dumb shit, like publicly executing that slave.

i was 100% on her executing Randal Tarley. She probably could have spared Dickon though.

but it's almost always her advisors that pull her back from going full mad queen on people. her immediate reactions to situations are always telling because she comes off petulant, and entitled before she has a chance to think things through. being the "gentle heart" queen is becoming more and more of a pipe dream for her.

303. "Yep. She still needs far too many checks at this point"
In response to Reply # 258


  

          

Particularly on light of the fact that she's not particularly forgiving when those advisors stop batting 1.000......until another advisor tells her to fall back.

So the issue I see here, is that she doesn't absorb the wisdom of her advisors for future application.

Worse, she's too reliant on her name and the line of succession, and doesn't think she should earn that position in equal parts force and genuine leadership.

She's become too comfortable with a "might
+ birthright" status quo.

In response to Reply # 224


          

Like, for the life of me, I couldn't remember when Qyburn showed up... turned out, he was one of the survivors at Harrenhall.

Re-watching the whole series, slowly, with the benefit of knowing what ultimately happens is very rewarding. As vague as some of the dialogue was in previous seasons, they really didn't waste any of it. The payoff may not come for a couple seasons but it almost always comes.

In response to Reply # 217


  

          

Because they both endured psychological, physical, and sexual torture at the hands of the same monster, separately and together.

They escaped together.

Despite everything Theon did, they're bonded through a rather unique shared experience, and Theon doing all he can to atone for his sins.

The nature of their interaction is cut & dry, with no interpretation needed.

Like the plot is laid out for there to be an epic battle between white walkers and the coalition army, then for the remainder of the coalition army to fight Cersei and then it ending with either Jon or Daenerys on the throne (or maybe a fake out and it's Sansa or even Arya on the throne).

But when has Martin stuck to the plot that has been so clearly laid out?

I mean he may have run out of jiujitsu moves for plot twists that are still satisfying, but if he had one last move in him...this is when we could expect it (or would everyone call foul if there was a build up to an epic battle and it doesn't take place?).

if their plan is to just kill the night king (uhm jon why wait to tell everyone this until hours before???) then why send all your people to die and build up the ranks of his army? they have to have a better plan to keep the walkers at bay.

there were definitely some measures they were taking to keep the walkers from just being able to rush in (someone was watching the walking dead) but i dont see how it makes sense to send a lot of your people to fight them.

maybe a good chunk of the episode is trying to keep them out then they break through and thats when the night king is killed?

The armys are going to fight, mostly as a diversion.

But they're hoping by carefully exposing Bran/3 eyed raven, they can get the Night King to expose himself as well.

What I don't get is what would compel the Night King to expose himself. If he just wants Bran to die, he can wait in the back until his zombie army overruns the coalition army.

He doesn't need to do it himself unless he plans to turn Bran. Also, It's not like he wants to "spare the lives" of his soldiers with some special ops-like strike like the coalition leaders would... he can re-up on zombies at any time.

Which gets to another issue... I dunno how the coalition army is going to keep up with burning their dead at the pace they're going to be dying. I feel like the battle is going to go bad for them relatively quickly.

If there’s one thing that the books hammer over and over and over again, it’s that how damaging and horrible and not awesome war is. So having some extra bloody Hobbit “Battle of the Five Armies” shit would be an anathema to him.

I’m guessing the fake out is that the second war with Cersei isn’t a real war. That like Dany takes Drogon and just melts down the city.

Most of the main characters die during this battle, getting emotional and/or blunt send offs that remind us all of the subversion the first four seasons of this show displayed absolute mastery of. A few primary players remain, but just enough that a retreat to King's Landing is necessary, predicated on the idea that Cersei might somehow turn around when she sees how little of the greatest army Westeros has ever seen hobbles into her territory. Unfortunately, Cersei Cerseis and imprisons or executes most of them, obligating each to their few and/or many glaring character flaws from the perspective of her character. In the show's closing moments, she smiles with a cup of wine in hand, staring out the window of the Keep as the White Walkers begin emerging from the skyline.


These first two episodes have made an exceptionally convincing case that the show is going to wrap up fairly tidily, but I can't think of an ending that would be closer in line with everything that made this show great in the first place. This is a story about people always putting their shortsighted goals in front of the larger public, and I feel like Cersei ignoring the incoming threat to get one last gloat over her greatest enemies would be right in line with that. Breaking Bad came close to ending a show with absolute bleakness, and Game of Thrones has a grand opportunity to put a period on this past 15 years of anti-hero TV with one last big statement on hubris and narcissism, but I'll bet it doesn't really go for it.


As a non book-reader, I really hope Martin can finish his story so we can know for sure whether the show is mostly getting this right or gave up on trying to tell his story in favor of satisfying the general tropes of television and hero fantasies.

And the show has in the past 3 seasons stopped giving a fuck.
Kings Landing is FAAAAR from King's Landing. We're talking a month's ride or more. A retreat to King's Landing makes no sense. And there are tons of other castles between the two.

I'm clearly too tied to logic.

You just never see people taking it or mentioning it.

That's my headcanon reason for why you can get from one place to another within an episode, while it took Arya and the Hound nearly a whole season to get from one part of the Riverlands to another.

Great acting from Gilly there, and especially from Davos.

Just to clarify the reference: Davos saw her burned face and for a split second thought it was Stannis's daughter. I forget her name; the kid who survived grayscale, taught Davos to read, but then got sacrificed by The Red Woman.

The reaction from Davos is very on brand, he has continually has taken kids under his wing throughout the series. Shireen, Gendry, Jon, etc. For a smuggler he has a surprinsingly soft heart, and I love him for it.

she DID say she had to die in Westeros, so she GONNA be back.

and if she did protect the crypt and died in the process it'd be a "noble" death to make up for her transgressions.

In response to Reply # 267


  

          

Can the Night King just raise his hands and ALL dead within the vicinity come back? Or does he have to somehow direct it to the bodies? In other words, if there's a corpse in the area that he doesn't actually know is there, does it come alive? And WHERE are the bodies? Are they underneath the various Stark statues? If so, it would seem like a lot for them to physically lift heavy stone statues and move them, but maybe they get strength from the Night King?

IIRC, when Littlefinger presented Cat with Nedd's remains to be buried in the crypt, they were in kind of a large chest instead of a coffin. So I don't think the rest of his body was still intact.

Lyanna Stark, on the other hand . . .

287. "Yeah, and they referred to it as "Ned's bones""
In response to Reply # 273


          


implying that they'd burned the body and this was just what was left after the medieval cremation.

This is another reason I don't think it's likely that zombie Ned comes back.

But yeah, Lianna, anyone else down there. I assume they could come back.

I saw a fan theory that the night king was actually Rhaegar Targaryen, and he was gonna come specifically for Lianna. Doesn't match well with the story as we've seen it of how the white walkers were created millennia ago. But I don't think it's ever been specifically stated that the night king was the first white walker.

There are also stories about the "Night's King" of the books (who was apparently mentioned in a story in season 1). This was an ancient Stark, who led the Night's watch and fell in love with a female white walker. The theory goes that this guy is the Night King, he knows about stuff down in the crypts and he's coming for it (like a cache of dragon eggs).

I've also read somewhere that a white walker is buried in the crypts (maybe the Night King's wife, or the Night's King's wife...). Supposedly the whole castle is geothermally heated, but the crypts are cold for an unexplained reason, and that's supposedly the reason.

There are some partially decomposed wights but they could've gotten that way after being reanimated.

I mean, they could certainly reveal that he does indeed have the power to raise those that have been long dead but I'm skeptical he does that.

In response to Reply # 0


          

Just like Jaime, we have a character who's current iteration is vastly different than his starting person, and this season they've done nothing to further his character. Points of focus they could have showcased: the northerners being afraid of the former lannister dog, is the post Brienne and Rorge hound as ferocious a fighter as old Hound, the Hound in love, the Hound's internal battle btw who he was and who he currently is, etc etc etc.

At this point, it just looks like his sole purpose is just to survive the battle with the dead so he can battle undead Mountain. What a waste smh.

Kind of wish they would have done more with that, as the Northerners are always portrayed as the salt of the earth/best of Westeros types, and it seems their inclinations are just as fucked up as anybodys.

Maybe Dorne would be more welcoming, they at least don't put so much stock in how they hate "outsiders" but nobody cares about Dorne anymore.

Westeros as a whole always seemed more racist than Essos.

286. "That's true"
In response to Reply # 285


  

          

Although Slaver's Bay has been slavery-free for what I'm guessing has to be a few months in the show's timeline.

I was more thinking about how in places like Qarth and Braavos you see people from all over interacting with each other like it's no big deal, whereas everything in Westeros has to be filtered through which part they come from and whether or not they're highborn.

I wonder how/why they were able to ban it in Westeros. It's not like they're opposed to doing horrible crimes against humanity for money there.

In response to Reply # 286

Westeros is a united kingdom with one ruler. Essos is a collection of self-governing city states. Most of them do allow Slavery. But not all. Braavos, the most powerful of the Free-Cities in Western Essos is founded by formerly enslaved people and is anti-slavery to it's core. Slavery is illegal in Pentos, but rich people think they're above the law. In Volantis though, the enslaved outnumber the free people 5-1, 3-1 in Lys. And who knows what's going on in (formerly?) Slaver's Bay at this point.

301. "I'm guessing that Dany doesn't go full Mad Queen"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Back in the end of Season 2, when she goes to the House of the Undying to find her dragons, she has a bunch of visions. One is of the throne room in King's Landing, destroyed by fire. She walks up to the Iron Throne, but just as she's about to touch it, she stops and walks away. So I'm guessing that no matter what happens otherwise, she's going to have the opportunity to take the Iron Throne, and change her mind.

322. "Well here's some info on that"
In response to Reply # 309


  

          

The people of Westeros refer to the last coming of the White Walkers as "The Long Night." Many/Most of people Esso also talk about what seems to be the same event. Some of them just talk about the darkness that came and how the rivers froze or disappeared. Others cultures/areas talk about The Long Night like Westeros does. Melisandre's culture (from the far East of Essos) specifically talks about it, and how Azor Ahai (remember her talking about that?) had to be reborn to stop it from happening. At first she thought Stannis was Azor, but then she thought it was Jon. Another culture of the Far East talks about the Lion of Night and his demons, and they even have a structure (really structures) similar to the Wall to keep him away.

So, we don't know the details specifically about what The Long Night looked like in Essos (ie wights, white walkers, etc.), But we know they experienced the same event to some degree. Esso is HUGE though so it was likely different in different places.

as a safe place, with all the dead people down there? Not the wildlings? jon? Tryion? Varys? not even all seeing Bran?

if NK does make the bodies down there rise up it feels like a pretty big writing flaw if none of them saw it coming. We'll probably forget about it with all the fuckery that's about to go down next week. They're likely about to lose the battle, and many of our favorites will be dead. Still, the "you'll be safe down there" mindset seems a bit lazy going in.

I think they're assuming that if they kill the Night King then all the walkers and their wights will collapse.

I don't think we'll see Nedd, but Lyanna's body was intact when she died. I've got to imagine there just aren't that many physical remains of the other Starks who have died, and if they are there can't be much.

I can see Tyrion and Varys missing it because at their core, they don't really believe in any of this shit (especially Varys, who hates magic).

As for it being a big plot-hole, well, this show has kind of specialized in ognoring big-ass plotholes for a few seasons now in favor of going after the "cool" visuals and what would be "bad-ass."

In response to Reply # 0


          

That was enough to convince everybody to believe Bran? Lmfao, you gotta be kidding me. More than half the people in this room think Bran is just a strange kid in a wheelchair, but his mention of the 3-eyed raven and Samwell's hypothetical was enough to have everyone go along with it. I expected them to at least have one person in there like "why should we believe this bullshit?" Maybe that's supposed to speak to how lost everyone is on how to deal with the impending danger of this rare, unknown situation, but that was weak af.

My guess and slight hope is that the Night King is Targaryan and that Dany or John will get turned for us to see how they don't become complete zombies when they're killed... or maybe we'll find out some other way.

Does NK actually know things about Westeros and how things are now? Like, does he know that King's Landing is the capitol? The last time the Walkers were in Westeros proper, it was well before any of that had been established. But are they up on who rules what?

I always assumed they were just going to move down the country killing everyone without a thought to what rank these people hold.

330. "I agree it's probably not going to happen, but..."
In response to Reply # 327


  

          

...technically the Night King wouldn't have to take his whole army down there, he could just fly down on his own with Viserion. As Tyrion said way back in Season 2, the walls of King's Landing don't make much of a difference against dragons.

So, theoretically, he could destory the city, raise the dead, and start heading north, so even if Winterfell wins, there's another huge army coming their way from the South

But, yeah, probably not going to happen.

In response to Reply # 329


  

          

It’s fallen to the Greyjoys, sort of the Boltons, and then when Jon took it back.

I’m also not buying that they lose in general here. The Night King has won every major battle at this point, and it makes shitty story telling if the humans lose AGAIN.

They take major losses, and they might not kill the Night King, but Winterfell wins the battle.

458. "they couldnt risk losing another dragon to the night king"
In response to Reply # 339


  

          

he baited them out into the air with him where he had a severe advantage...he lost but still had little to lose

the number of wights was so extreme even if they had been out there as the front lines...we saw what happened when dany got grounded

this is an unrealistic expectation

they're a trump card and you never overexpose a trump card

that's fantasy battle tactics 101

In response to Reply # 0


          

So the prince who was promised was bullshit?

Or it was Arya all along?

All that character build up of Jon Snow vs The Night King to have him ride around on a fucking dragon all episode and then squares up against a dragon?

Am i reading too much into this?

Im confused as fuck!!!! Ha

In response to Reply # 371


          

If D and D knew they were'nt going to do it, why play into the hype? The stare-down at Hardhomme, bringing Jon back from the dead, all his birth flash backs, etc. It's like they pulled a bait and switch simply for shock value but it essentially ruined eight season of character build up

388. "The flashbacks more have to do with Jon being king tho"
In response to Reply # 375


  

          

You could say that it started out as Jon was destined to lead the Night’s Watch and fight back the White Wallkers. And even if he didn’t kill the NK, he set things up so that they would defeat them. The face down in Hardhome was the only time they teased a fight between the two.

But now I’m more convinced than ever that his arc is going to be about ruling Westeros as a whole. Or at least establishing the new system the Westeros uses to rule itself after there’s no more Iron Throne. And in that case, the flash backs to his birth are still relevant.

That’s just this episode. But it’s not like they established a history than Jon had to be the one to kill the NK. The NK was always more about Bran.

MISSANDEI: Your Grace, forgive me, but your translation is not quite accurate. That noun has no gender in High Valyrian, so the proper translation for that prophecy would be, "The prince or princess who was promised will bring the dawn."

I'd actually be fine with Arya being the princess who was promised if there were something to actually tie her to the prophecy. There isn't.

the lead up was crazy intense, the Dothraki just disappearing holy fucking shit.

but the battle idk i have to think about it. The absence of dragons for damn near 15 minutes made zero sens to me. I know NK could just pop them back up but they didn't know that. The crypt thing that no one saw coming was ridiculous.

and really the NK think didn't make much sense. It's always been my least favorite part of the show so i'm glad its over.

He had the whole squad there, all the white walkers, all the wights, they were fucking winning the battle, and he just had to make the killing stroke? His ego was such that he had to be the one to look Bran in the eye before he died?

Fuck that, I would been at Last Hearth jerking off or some shit.

They're usually roaming around in kill mode.
Then they all pause for this huge moment, so it's like they were sort unconscious for a bit.

Plot-wise, it's acceptable. But this show was about so much more than plot for six seasons and these last two have just been great characters walking into stupid situations and coming out okay over and over.

The clues are there with Arya and the Red Witch talking about shutting blue eyes and "Not today." The death scene works best when it's a shock to see her flying through the air towards him.

443. "nah."
In response to Reply # 431


  

          

The surprise would've been when we have five minutes of Jon fighting like hell through wights to get to the God's Wood in time to save Bran, the dragon cutting him off and him feeling lost, and then the music cutting out, ambient noise volume rises, quick cuts of feet and torso cutting past hand rails and bushes or whatever, heavy but quiet breathing, character takes a moment to assess the full scene and then reveal it's Arya, the camera turns and she's looking at the Night King, then do the scene the same way.

You're surprised either way but at least you're invested in the scene and not just going "...ok?" at the end.

In response to Reply # 373


          

He put them in formation and 'stand down' mode when he walked through.

Given their inactivity as Theon charged him, everything there is explained by the scene itself.

The only link it had to the library scene was the fact that the audience didn't hear her coming.

I wanted Bran to hit him with the okey doke and warg Theon as he was dying for Theon to sneak him with the death blow.

cuz I mean, since Bran didn't play a direct role in his death, it made Bran basically worthless and just bait.

i was like, yup, he gonna use him to kill the NK and Theon will die n the process, thus the platitudes before he warged him.

and as someone who harshed my high a couple replies up above said, how did Arya come outta nowhere when all them wights and white walkers were right there.

Seems like warging Theon woulda been a more believable death and not made Bran sort of useless.

But didn't we always know Arya was gonna kill the night king?

I loved HOW she did it but they have been preparing her to stare death in the face and best it for mad seasons now..

......

I wish we got more from the NK though.. sure he got zombies on lock but it felt like he coulda had a better verbally defining moment ionno...

At least a reveal into who he was

391. "Good suspense doesn't require not knowing what's going to happen. "
In response to Reply # 356


  

          

In fact, with todays modern online dissecting, it's impossible to completely surprise an audience with what's going to ultimately happen.

You can build suspense though with trying to figure out HOW something is going to happen.

I think I felt a little let down at first until people on twitter started pointing out how everything that has happened to Arya up until this point has been preparing her for this moment. I had forgotten that:

1. Syrio Forel once said to Arya, "stick them with the pointing end and "what do we say to death?", not today.

2. Bran had given her that knife in the exact same place. There is even speculation online that when Bran warged during this episode he was traveling back to hand Arya that knife at that very moment. Which would explain exactly where did he go.

3. I kind of remember Melissandre's prophesy about Arya about putting out "blue eyes".

4. I was wondering what was the point of all the stealth movements of Arya in the earlier scenes.

5. Someone else also pointed out that Arya snuck up on Jon by that same tree a couple of episodes ago.

6. Someone else on twitter pointed out Arya did that drop knife move on Brienne a couple of seasons ago.



Anyway, all the callbacks and foreshadowing coming together so perfectly in fulfilling her destiny IMOP is dope as fuck, even if it required twitter to point it all out to me.

The Night King and the White Walkers didn't even fucking fight.
Yeah, it was cool to see Arya do that but...
The shit was wack.
The most important character to die was fucking Jorah.
The biggest threat in the world is dealt with just like that and now they go back to this petty ass thrown shit. 7.5 seasons building up to the battle between the living and the dead and that's all it fucking is.

Been saying for a while that the show is a bloodied version of the Hobbit/ROTR movies. Great action, but ultimately a very conventional story. And for a larger audience that HBO wants, that works.

And in the end, the books will be completely different. So I’m with this being what it is.

374. "I agree with not enough major characters being killed"
In response to Reply # 364


          

For some reason since Season 6 or 7 this show has basically stopped being the show where "anyone could die." In the battle of the white walkers versus humanity only one major character dies???? And somehow Jamie with one hand survives a battle versus the dead?? Thats the only part that bugs me. That risk factor that made the show so emotional has gone away.

381. "they were the achilles"
In response to Reply # 364


  

          

he waited a long ass time to bring out the walkers and expose himself and look what happened

he literally dodged Jon with a dead shadow clone jutsu and got killed by the NINJA of the clan

it sucked from an epic battle expectation but it was actually almost all good calls from both sides with a few obvious mistakes

the crypt being the biggest mistake but he literally obscured the walkers bc that would kill most if not all of his main force...the numbers of the wights were the strength but the walkers and the NK were a throbbing achilles...especially with a 2v1 dragon ration

they grossly underutilized the dragons for the same reason the walkers were kept on the sideline

the wackest part of the battle from a viewer's standpoint was the comeplete lack of visibility for half the battle

In response to Reply # 364


          


That's why they put it in episode 3 of 6.

Not that I expect them to find a satisfying conclusion anyway, but they'd get closer in a well scripted conversation (also unlikely) between Sansa and Cersei than they ever would in an hour and a half action scene.

Kingslanding scene and one was about the super spooky White Walkers coming to kill everybody, a lot of people liked the former but didn't really care for the latter so I guess they felt like they had to separate the two.

Davos, Greyworm, Brienne, Pod, Misendai, Varys, Sam, Gilly, Gilly's Brother/Son. All of them should have died too.

In response to Reply # 0


          

and comical.

You had almost all of them surrounded multiple times but the zombies yet they all managed to slip away.

From the very beginning you had Jorah(who would actually die later) at the front of the Dothraki army, Greyworm at the head of the Unsullied, Brienne, Jaime, Pod etc., at the front of the North army, their forces get overwhelmed and somehow these great knights/Warriors somehow sneak back into the castle while the rest of their forces get slaughtered outside. Then once inside most of those same people were surround multiple times and managed to squeak away. Sam was just chilling in the courtyard on a bed of dead zombies. When Jon was approaching the Night King outside and he rose up hundreds of zombies around Jon he somehow managed to fight his way out. They should've had Dany's ass too but I guess with both of her armies gone and maybe all 3 of the dragons dead how much power does she have? They had Arya's lil ass hemmed up multiple times yet she managed to get all the way outside and past the Night King's entire army to shank him?

C'mon...

389. "Severely injured at least."
In response to Reply # 387


          


Whole parts of his body were torn off in the fight with Viserion.

But we didn't actually see him die.

The undead dragon at the end was still Viserion.

Considering how badly injured Drogon was after just being hit with a bunch of spears a couple seasons ago, and how Viserion was killed just from a fall from what looked like a lower height, it seems a little unlikely Rhaegal would have survived that fight.

But I don't think the showrunners are all that interested in that kind of logic at this point, so who knows?

the training that she had makes her very skilled at getting away and striking when possible.

sam??? i dont understand. there were some scenes where someone saved him then others where he had like 4/5 wights on him and no one saved him.

im starting to look at this from the perspective of the survivors. if they were telling the story then the folks that survived would exaggerate their involvement and it would explain why the folks that story is focused on happen to be the ones that survived.

The only one I'd complain about is, like, Sam Tarly... but it seemed he just lay his ass down on the ground and pretended to be dead, lmao.

Everyone else was known for being either one of the best fighters in the seven kingdoms or someone trained specifically by one of the best fighters. I coulda seen more people die (Podrick, for instance)-- but there's also only so many notable deaths you can put in one episode *and* have all that action *and* end it in under 90 minutes.

Won the melee in Season 2. Was beating a two-handed Jamie in Season 3. Defeated the Hound in Season 4. Her arc is that she's one of the best and most honorable fighters in Westeros, but couldn't become a knight.

when I thought I saw Brienne get overwhelmed by the first rush it was shocking...then she popped up and everybody important was fighting one-on-one for the next 40 minutes.

it just turned into any old battle scene as the main characters emerged untouched again and again.

I thought some epic shit was on the way -- you have a hardened soldier who has been across The Wall looking like he saw 100 ghosts. him being utterly shook and falling in battle would've been haunting.

but of course comes out of nowhere to save Daenerys in the middle of the battlefield, action hero style.

521. "Initially, when he rode back from the Dothraki charge..."
In response to Reply # 479


          


his face was grimy and it was dark and at first I though he was immediately charging back as a wight.

That would have been a way to raise the stakes even higher in what was already a really tense situation.

When I realized that he was just one of the five or six who were able to retreat, I was relieved but disappointed in the writers.

I liked the way he eventually went out. But it would have served the STORY a lot more if a main character *didn't* get the glorious death he deserved.

-I love Davos but dude still wanted to kill the Red Woman after she pretty much saved humanity.
-Agree with criticisms that too many main characters lived and I would have liked to see some more actual fighting with the walker dudes. John's fight with the guy at Hardhome was awesome.
-Arya killed the Night King with the same weapon that attempted to kill Bran in season 1.
-Bran is a weird dude.
-I'm proud of my boy Theon.
-Both Mormont deaths were good.
-Arya is Arya and she's awesome.
-I will definitely be watching again.

Warged into some birds and then spent the rest of the episode . . . I think trying to warg into other things? Maybe? People are complaining about Dany, at least she sent the NK off his dragon and got down there stabbing people.

401. "Dany was a superhero."
In response to Reply # 392


          


A little too superhero for my taste, in fact. She was always showing up at just the right time to save someone's life with a blast of fire or to knock the Night King off his dragon.

It was definitely cool and suspenseful, though, at the end to see her without her dragon, helpless and surrounded until Jorah showed up. I kinda thought that might be the end of her. And when she picked up a sword and clearly didn't even know how to hold it. We haven't seen her powerless and scared since season 1.

399. "all in all it was a good episode"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

no way it was going to live up to the hype. i do think the battle was better than endgame. they did a better job of following the characters and putting them in more believable positions.

i guess dany got shook when the dothraki got taken out. im not sure what the plan was before she took off. i think their strategy was stupid. im going to give them the benefit of the doubt and say they just didnt have enough time to properly implement a good strategy so they had to go with something they could actually put together quickly?

i was so sure the hound was going to go out saving arya. i dont know that melisandre really did. she lit their weapons, which did nothing. she stared at arya. she gave her a pep talk??

i did like how they made arya get shook then find herself again. i dont know what helicopter she jumped out of but the way she dropped the weapon and stabbed the night king was dope.

where was gendry?? not sure i saw him at all.

i think the deaths were lacking. most of the main characters stayed alive. they sure lost a lot of pawns but i expected a few more main characters to go.

413. "The plan before she saw the Dothraki die..."
In response to Reply # 399


          

was just to hold back with the dragons and keep them safe until they find the Night King. I actually think that part of the plan made more sense than people are giving them credit for. They've seen how easy it is for the Night King to kill a dragon. They also know that if the Night King is on Viserion, he's basically invincible unless they can attack him with their own dragon. So they don't want to bring in the dragons until they know exactly where they're going.

Just like the humans know they can end it all by killing the Night King, the dead presumably know they can end it all by killing the living dragons.

That said, in the after-episode featurette one of the showrunners said the plan got fucked up when Dany saw the Dothraki die and went in to join the fight. I don't see that. Yeah, if Drogon had been killed, then it would have been a big mistake (and would have doomed the humans). But he wasn't. So I don't know if there's as much moral to that story as they tried to set up.

She did light up the flaming caltrops around the castle, which held everyone off for a while and gave the living a chance to regroup.

But yeah, I think her main role was to get us excited that the Dothraki were about to fuck up the zombies, only to let our hopes be crushed even harder.

>i did like how they made arya get shook then find herself
>again. i dont know what helicopter she jumped out of but the

I just got a vision in my head that she had someone fire her from one of the catapults. That's definitely not the story, but it's how I choose to envision it in my head.

>where was gendry?? not sure i saw him at all.

Resting after making 50000 weapons from an unfamiliar material, I guess.

>i think the deaths were lacking. most of the main characters

It was a little silly how by the end we had Jaime, Brienne, Sam, basically half buried in piles of bodies, yelling and poking all around. But they were fine.

422. "Gendry was there in the battle"
In response to Reply # 414


  

          

They show him outside Winterfell with Brienne; he’s one of the last ones to get to the line. Then they show him fighting outside Winterfell with a Dragonglass War Hammer (like his father). Then when they retreat into Winterfell, I believe they show him fighting the zombies on top of the walls.

there was so much going on that it was hard to tell who was who. most of the characters had some shots where they were the focus. i didnt notice him in any but i might have been looking elsewhere.

He didnt seem to have any ability to affect/stop/kill the Night King and his crew. They probably went over this, but I can’t remember the details.

405. "He was more a goal than a threat. "
In response to Reply # 400


          


He's a supernatural being now, connected to the old gods and to the children of the forest, both of whom the Night King hates. He's supposedly more interested in killing the three-eyed raven than he is in killing the people.

It's definitely not fleshed out in any sort of compelling way, though. There was a lot more that they could have done with regard to the backstory of the three-eyed raven and the Night King. It probably works better in the books (though my understanding is that all this stuff is completely different in the books).

He knows everything. And the Night King's whole shit is trying to destroy/rewrite everything. (At least that's how I think it was explained in a previous episode.)

525. "Here's another:"
In response to Reply # 519


          


https://slate.com/culture/2019/04/battle-winterfell-military-analysis-tactics.html


In one of these (I forget which one, maybe both), they explained away the "put the vulnerable people in the crypts" strategy as a "least bad of many bad options." And I'm coming around on that. There just wasn't anywhere else to put them where they wouldn't have been in the direct line of fire. At least they didn't know for sure that the corpses could be brought back, and if they could, whether they could escape their tombs. So in that sense, it was still the safest place. It might have made sense to keep some troops down there as guards, though, just in case.

Also, they seem to be saying that the reasoning for holding off the dragons was sound.

The closest thing I've seen to an explanation for the Dothraki charge, though, was "sometimes cavalry do stupid things."

I'm fine with that and definitely will be watching to the very end. It's not hate-watching like say SOA but things are off. Don't get me wrong I've enjoyed a large part of what we've seen so far and it doesn't feel as rushed as last season but something is still off.

They can't wrap a tight little bow on the story-lines but please don't give us some fan service stuff.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Bran might actually be the MVP because when he Warg'd the theory is he did his time travel thing and went back to the scene where Bran gave Arya the knife and "fixed" the timeline.

It makes a lot of sense because we don't know exactly what he was doing when he checked out during the battle and he clearly had a vision of the future when he gave Arya the knife (and it happened at the exact spot they were at when Arya knifed old dude).

454. "The argument"
In response to Reply # 433


          


is that we saw him give her the knife earlier in the season BECAUSE he warged to the past and told himself to do it. He can't see the future, but he can supposedly communicate very slightly with people in the past.

So the argument is that in a previous iteration of the time line he didn't give her the knife.

To be clear, I think this explanation is silly, extremely thin, and I don't take it seriously at all. But the logic of it isn't as hard as people are making it out to be.

The real answer is that he was useless in the battle because he's paralyzed, full stop. Just like Max von Sydow's three-eyed raven was in the Hodor episode.

I do wish they'd said something about what he was doing while he was warging, though.

In response to Reply # 433


  

          

knife. That is, if he didnt' warg in that scene, then the scene from last season never would have occurred.

Time travel is overused in sci-fi/fantasy but it would be a different take on it if we see the fixed timeline first and then we see how we got there.

It wouldn't be that complicated. All we need to see is a scene next week where we see where Bran went when he warged and it turned out to be that scene where he gave Arya the knife.

This might not be the case, but if it isn't, then a lot of the Bran storyline (his ability to alter the past) would have been a waste.

"Not killing main characters is fine. Putting main characters in situations where they have no realistic chance of surviving only to have them survive because they're main characters is a lazy way to create tension. They went full Walking Dead."

George RR Martin was the driving force behind the shock deaths and risks. Ever since D and D passed the books it lost the reason it became such a well know show: no one is safe.

and the fight with Cersei would end up being the side note. Figured it was a big metaphor for global warming and how we are all fighting about the wrong thing.

Anyway, I think that theory is wrong. Yall want main character blood, the battle with Cersei is where you will see it.

In response to Reply # 462


  

          

Cersei's "we'll deal with what's left of you" was a legit good Tywinesque strategy

They still have Dragons but the Dothraki are done, and probably most of the unsullied.

Cersei has a most of the iron born fleet, whatever is left of the Lannister army, and 20k(?) Golden Company folk. All fresh and well rested at this point.

Dani can maybe get the second sons to come back through, but I don't even know if there's a thousand of them, and maybe some of Yara's people. Everyone else is injured and spent from this. Plus clean up is gonna be a bitch. I imagine Cersei goes on the offensive rather than give them time to regroup. I wonder how much time they'll have.

The ones that were specifically going to fight to put her on the throne. She's left with a bunch of Northerners, who wanted nothing to do with her or the Iron Throne even before surviving this. Even if Jon tries to convince them to fight anyway, they seem more loyal to Sansa than Jon.

I guess if there's anyone on the Iron Islands still on Team Yara, they could help.

implies that it's gonna be Dany who goes on the offensive, pulling Cersei out "root and stem." Unless I heard the voice wrong.

I'm gonna let out a heavy sigh if they try to tell me 80% of the Unsullied and 40% of the Dothraki actually survived the battle.

I mean Dany does still apparently have two dragons (once they heal a little). And we've seen how those dragons can fuck up Lannister forces. But they've been arguing all this time that you can't use dragons to siege a castle. So I don't know how they go after Cersei unless Tyrion finally comes up with a plot that works.

In response to Reply # 469


  

          

Way back in Season 1 she tells Joffrey that no foreign army can hold the North. And I'd imagine that no foreign country can hold the North especially during the winter.

I think things go sideways for Cersei as Tyrion is able to out-manuver her. It will probably have something to do with the Iron Bank. Tyrion likely convinces them to back Dany. And then I'm guessing the Gold Cloaks break their contract for the first time ever. And bring in the war elephants to take King's Landing.

They always talk about the episodes with the large battles. Generally because even with their budget, they can only afford to shoot one a season. All the pre-season 8 hype was about the Night battle. I seriously doubt they have another up their sleeve.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

The show was fascinating because of the politics and interpersonal relationships.

But the supernatural stakes kept getting raised to the point where the politics and the relationships didn't matter.

But now all the magic was a red herring too, and we're supposed to return to taking the politics seriously, even though the show has neglected them for like three or four seasons now.

I understand the argument that Game of Thrones is all about subverting expectations, but you can't also subvert the truth of the world you've created.

Also, I refuse to take Euron Greyjoy seriously.

If these last three episodes dont somehow tie the narrative together better they are in danger of ruining everything. I really think that Arya decision was a HUGE gamble depending on how they finish. And they seem to be doing their best to ruin the Jon Snow character. How the fuck do you take the ONE GUY who has lived his entire life for this war, convincing people of this war, etc and put him on a fucking dragon the entire time. He should have been on the ground.

maybe because I never cared that much about the supernatural element of GOT, and there's more than enough good shit there without it.

LOST went on too long, and dug themselves far too deep into mysteries under the pretense we'd receive answers, then when it came time to collect, pretty much told us to fuck off.

even if this season turns out to be a bust, the show will still be one of the best. I can't even look at Lost.

and I always thought the supernatural shit shoulda been in the background.

My issue is that since the show has gone beyond the books, it has been ALL supernatural with very little of the development that made the show compelling initially.

And now the supernatural stuff is deaded.

So like, what is they even doing?

That's all I mean with the LOST comparison.

Night King got *too* out of control (let's give him one of the dragons!) and blunted the best parts of the show with a poorly lit, 90-minute orgy of blockbuster movie deaths, invincible heroes, and deus ex machina.

It would be cool if Winter Started right now which would hold off the battle against Cersei.

Or to put another way, I don't see how they have 5 more episodes left.

544. "imo it would be too cold to march an army to Winterfell"
In response to Reply # 473


          

They didn't emphasize that in the show, but with Winter officially here the biggest threat to Cersei would be bad weather and cutting off food lines to her army. It makes more sense now to wait for them to come South before she engages them, as the Northerners would have an advantage being from the North and more acclimated to the cold weather.

her sipping wine while the Sept exploded destroying her enemies was one of the greatest moments in tv history.

Or would rather see the Night King’s sneer and his mindless zombies for 3 more episodes?

Night King I didn’t realize that watching it the first time.

But yeah with between the NK re-raising the dead on both sides plus his dragon breathing blue fire on everything inside of Winterfell there’s no way anybody else should’ve survived before she got to him.

Jon said he was going to Bran but he ended up hiding inside Winterfell like a bitch lol.

Viserion isn't as big as Drogon, but he did what (whatever that weapon's name Bronn shot at Drogon) couldn't do with his hands, so at the very least his strength was superhuman. It's all speculation at this point tho so it's whatever

500. "As visually stunning as that flaming dothraki scene was,"
In response to Reply # 0
Tue Apr-30-19 07:15 AM by shygurl

          

That whole strategy didn't make sense. Nobody knew Melisandre was going to show up and light the arakhs, were they just planning on having the Dothraki blindly ride into the dark?

We know the Dothraki are leagues better than any Westorosi fighters, why not have the knights of the Vale on foot in the front, and have the Dothraki sweep in with the horses from behind or from the sides? What's the point in sacrificing your best and most fiercest fighters in some foolhardy headfirst dicks out move?

Even better, why wasn't fire used more efficiently in this battle? They should have had fires strategically placed all across the battlefield, both to herd the wights into the flames, and to burn the newly dead before they were turned. Again the Night King is dumb too, as he should have had the white walkers in the battle, not to fight, but to turn the newly dead into wights.

Back to the Dothraki though, so did Daenerys and company just commit genocide on a colossal scale? She just basically killed the entire Dothraki khalesar. In all truth, how the show treated the Dothraki is beyond fucked up, and quite in a line with a group of writers who wanted to write a show about the south not losing the civil war.

In response to Reply # 500


  

          

The snowstorm came in and they kept saying, she can't see the signal.


I would have to seen more battlefield strategy. Some stuff like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06sOEWajpZs


At any rate yeah the Dorthraki were treated as pretty expendable. Which is pretty accurate I guess how they would be treated. The question is do the writers acknowledge that in the story. I'd just like a scene where the Dothraki women give Dany shit for sacrificing all their men. Wouldn't also mind Grey Worm leaving Dany for the same reason.

In response to Reply # 501

In my interpretation, the circle of fire was supposed to be another line of defense once the remaining army had retreated into Winterfell, to be lit once the army of the dead was on the verge of overcoming them. The blizzard came after they were deep in midst of fighting on the verge of a retreat, so she couldn't get back.

But yeah, there should have been more military strategy. If it's the middle of the night, and there are no electrical lights to see, why not have more fires just as guides? Maybe every 200 feet have fires light, if not for use against the wights, but just to see. The lone fire surrounding the castle means nothing if the light is behind you and there are hundreds of other bodies in front of the light of the fire.

In response to Reply # 500


  

          

i think the original plan was stupid, the execution was stupid, the improvisation was stupid.

at some point they seemed to straight up be burning the wights and their own fighters while they were in battle. unless these dragons have laser aim with their fire breaths theres no way they werent burning their own while they were still alive.

im glad thats over and just want to see whats next.

Like, if you know the Dothraki didn't make it, why not do a quick flyover of their corpses so they don't come back. It's not as if "burn the bodies" is a thing Jon Snow has been saying for the last six seasons.

The knights just lead the army. So when the army comes it's because it was brought there by the knights.

I'm just assuming because that's how knighthood normally works, in the real world (way back when), and from what I understand in GoT. Knights are wealthy people, usually thanks to an allowance from the crown. So they can afford to raise armies. It's often how they become knights in the first place.

I recognize the Arryn sigil on the shields. But I should have been more specific and said all Westoros fores should have been on the front lines not the Dothraki.

I definitely had plenty to say about the Dothraki portion of the show along with Dany's white-girl-freeing-the-brown-slaves story arc. Most of OKP either said I was crazy or was reading too much into the show. I just like to see other black people noticing this stuff and I think it's vital that we voice and discuss them, so thanks for sharing.
Anyway, I agree that there's a LOT in this show that should eliminate any surprise that these writers wanted to make that "Confederate" garbage.
Here's the post if you're bored lol:

In response to Reply # 549


          

Daenerys in particular has been used as this white saviour figure throughout the whole series, even going so far as to dress her in light colors and have the brown bodies in dark and black clothing literally in worship or supplicant poses to her.


The racism is blatant but yet I still watch like a fiend lollll.

The more i think about it the more random and full of shit it seems. If the whole crew went to King's Landing and Jon randomly killed The Mountain with The Hound just chilling it wouldnt make sense. They seemed to have done it just for the sake of "no one sees this coming." Came off cheap. Arya had never even seen a White Walker in person before last nights episode. Jon's entire story was White Walker based.

...death. And like she said in episode 2, here she actually got the chance to face death down and kill it. That makes sense for her arc.

However, I didn’t like the creators explanation for it, which amounted to Jon has had all the big moments in this series, so we wanted to give one to someone else. That’s kind of corny.

But since they’ve moved things on the last few years about him being king, I imagine that’s his destiny.

Yeah i should cut them some slack until i see what they do these last three episodes. But if they flipped Jon vs The Night King they better have a great idea for an ending to his story.

That Jon sees Arya creeping through and when he stands up to face the dragon he's actually yelling "go gooooo go" and gets the dragons attention being that it was actually guarding the entrance to the God's Wood

In response to Reply # 535


  

          

Jon is making his way to the God's Wood and is almost there when the dragon lands and clears everyone out. He starts to make a charge, then looks back and sees something for a second. Everything after that involves him trying to get the dragon's attention. He eventually does the face off against it and clearly yells, "GO!!!!!!!" Almost immediately after they show the breeze of Arya running past the other White Walkers, and then lunging at the Night King.

I understand for the Arya surprise but im assuming that she has to addresses it next episode. Otherwise the creators are just letting Jon get clowned for standing up and yelling at a dragon for no reason.

556. "NOPE we gotta discuss that analogy. Because Arya would whoop Jon's ass."
In response to Reply # 530


  

          

I'm open to your rationale, and I get that that's just a simplified way to make the point, but it's worth discussing. Ghat is, if you enjoy that discussion.

Anyhow....Jon's not exactly a boss at this.

Great warrior? Noble, selfless leader?

Abso-fucking-lutely.

That's my mans (c) DMX

But Arya would present a serious problem for any warrior on the show. The sparring with Brienne was enough to show this to be true, and she's a crafty, artful fighter.

The only ones we've seen like her, as a fighter, are her dancing master, and perhaps Oberyn.

Jon can go. Be he's too square to win a fight against the top tier players, and the qualities that make him great while Arya has proven highly and unconventionally skilled at nearly every method of combat she's engaged in.

This was more like what Scottie would have been if he had Kobe's DNA, and straight up taking the rock from MJ for that shot.

In response to Reply # 536


  

          

i think i started watching it on a 32" LCD that did have a somewhat matter surface. at some point i upgrade to my current 48" LCD...the screen has a significant gloss to it :/ so i have always had a hard time with dark scenes. i dont think this weeks episode was any worse than other ones that had dark scenes. i think i was actually able to see more than usual even though i didnt have all the lights off while watching.

i cant really justify replacing my current tv just because of this though. when ever i do need to buy a new one i will definitely consider this.

I still think that's what he's doing, just because I want to think he's good Jaime now. And because I think these writers are too lazy to change him back lol.

But he didn't know Missandei. He doesn't know Rhaegal (except as a creature that supposedly made them invincible, suddenly not invincible). I can understand him thinking Cersei shouldn't be queen, but why would THAT news be the motivating factor?

Maybe it's a Kingslayer thing. Like he feels like it's his duty to protect the people from an unjust ruler (who might not lose in battle anymore).

On the other hand, all he said when he came north was that he was gonna fulfill his obligation to fight for the living. He's done that. Maybe that's the extent of his sense of duty.

My money still says he's instrumental in Cersei's downfall, but suddenly I don't know why, plot-wise.

No love lost between Starks and Lannisters
so Arya gets the best of the one handed Kingslayer and Knight Heartbreaker
with an assist from the hound

Arya then takes Jamie's face and kills Cersei in the last ep

that was their best chance shot at Drogon, and really their best shot at everyone.

when they approached the gates so light like that i'm like.. the fuck are you people thinking?!

In response to Reply # 578


          

I figured its the same as Ramsey killing Jons brother and making him charge at the Battle Of The Bastards. She wants to make Dany look like the mad queen, and it worked. I assume Cersei prolly knows she cant win one on one, specially with the entire Northern Army on its way

Drogon would've reacted and that's probably their best shot. Now he's just gonna burn those scorpions up, guaranteed.

Dude neglected Ghost for 3 seasons, gave him away after he lost an ear and didn't even say goodbye

About Ghost. Bugged me that he didnt say goodbye lol

Regarding the dragon, i (probably incorrectly) thought Dany took off with both dragons without Jon as a little self-preservation move (make sure she's in control of both as she feels her grip on power slipping)...and then when the rider-less dragon got killed, i wondered if she fucked up

I don't think she looked that far ahead in the moment, but I do think she was probably smart to retreat since she's not exactly sure what's she's facing. That was the first of two times in this episode she didn't let her emotions lure her into something possibly fatal. given also her reading of Jon and how people look at him, she's been pretty sharp this episode despite all her L's

In response to Reply # 588


          

The level of desperation and passion she showed in that room over her precious crown exceeded pretty much any passion she's ever shown toward a human being, and Jon didnt seem to double-take at all. Maybe it registered and we just didnt see it. Her selfishness and true motives and values was on full naked raw ugly display

(Props to Emilia btw...she often gets (imo unfairly) panned for her acting chops, but i thought she was great in this episode.

Jaime and Brienne actors killed it too

610. "Especially considering how ghost was instrumental in his resurrection."
In response to Reply # 585


          

I mean, they weren't explicit about this in the show, but my understanding is that in the books Jon survived by warging his katra into ghost. Even the dog's name was a foreshadow of that.

And I was pretty sure they were suggesting that in the show too. But even if they weren't, ghost was the one who stayed in the room protecting his body the whole damn time. Even after Melisandre gave up.

It's clearly a symbol of him giving up (for now) his Stark side in favor of Dany. But I think Ghost will be back.

He doesn't really seem like the kind of guy to care, but I wonder if they were setting something up with that.

In fact, I'd bet she meets her demise early in the next episode, and by exactly the means they're setting us up to expect.

Maybe if Jon dies too in the end (seems very possible). Or if he just decides to abdicate and go live with the Freefolk (another thing they've set us up to expect)...

There would be a certain justice in it ending up with Gendry, since he was discovered by Ned Stark, and though Ned was supporting Stannis, he seemed to also really respect Gendry (more than he respected Stannis).

At the same time, the Baratheons are just another spoke in the wheel, so it would be kind of a boring resolution.

603. "Truthfully, I'm not getting Sansa's motivations here"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Okay, she doesn't like Dany because she's scared that she'll take away her brother and put him in danger in King's Landing. She's traumatized by seeing her father killed down there and she doesn't want to see him share the same fate. Okay, I can see that.

But now... she wants him to be the true King and sit on the Iron Throne? In King's Landing? Where's scared that he'll be killed? And he would be in at least as much, if not more danger as said King? And then there's the fact that any path putting Jon on the Iron Throne would involve forcibly removed Cersei; just waiting for the people to rebel seems like pie in the sky.

I mean, yeah, they're leaning hard into Dany breaking bad and wanting the Iron Throne too badly and hence not being a good ruler when it's all said and done. So I could see if Sansa was really pushing hard just for Jon to stay and ruling the North independently, but the motivations and actions are a complete mess here.

there's no real time going into establishing motivations

even Dany and Jon, and the "I wish things were like they used to be" is funny because it was like for a few minutes 2 weeks ago.

plus ever since last season they've been traveling at 20th century speeds, which wouldn't be as glaring if they didn't spend years taking entire seasons to get from a to b.

Tyrion's given a few half-hearted nods of support for Dany lately. Sansa asked him if he was afraid of her, and he basically just admitted it, but clearly didn't REALLY believe a good leader has to instill "some amount of fear" (or whatever it was he said). Dinklage has been doing the moral conflict thing really well for the past few episodes, and it's been steadily growing.

He and Littlefinger started out looking similar. But Littlefinger was in it for Littlefinger, chaos is a ladder, and all that.

Varys strikes me as a guy who knows that society is unjust, and who's ready to bend those unjust rules to slowly change them for the better.

"you all can have Missandei back and Dany you can have the Iron Throne, open the gates!"

What did Tyrion really think he was going say to dissuade her? After their last meeting it should've been clear that he could say nothing to influence his sister. I'm surprised she didn't have one of her archers take him out then and there. I guess she still does have an extremely small soft spot for her little brother.

621. "Well, Tyrion did get to sneak in an implication that Euron's "prince""
In response to Reply # 612


          


is not actually Euron's.

(Because he knew about the baby at a time when supposedly only Cersei, Euron, and Qyburn knew about it. And he hadn't even seen Cersei since a time BEFORE she'd been with Euron.)

Maybe it's far-fetched, but I'm patiently waiting for a way for Tyrion to redeem himself with a clever scheme, so maybe Euron will start asking questions next episode...

Dude straight jacked up her plan.

632. "I assume that's why he didn't just come out and say it."
In response to Reply # 630


          


He found a way to say it without saying it.

But Cersei knew what he was up to and she wasn't having it.

all of the kingdoms independence. Both Dany and Jon are far too dumb to actually rule Westeros.

Just feels like they are racing from plot point to plot point.

-Sure ships can get launch a surprise attack on a dragon

-Sure Bran (or is it Bron) can roll up and make a new deal and just leave (by the way, a deal made under duress isn't really much of a deal).

- Sure we fall for the misdirection that Jaime is rushing back to be by the side of Cersi not kill her.

- Sure Tyrion's idea confronting Cersei like they did with an emotional plea with that tiny ass army was going to turn out other than it did.

-Sure fine ass Missandei, and Missandei alone, would end up in the hands of Cersei.

All these things happening just because the plot requires these things to happen.


Anyway, still team Sansa because she knows how to play the game.

629. "Sure it makes any sense at all that Missandei was even on the damn boat"
In response to Reply # 628


  

          

They're going to battle supposedly, why the fuck would she (or Varys for that matter) be anywhere near a damn battle?

and it’s not like they expected a battle on the water... but they should’ve been prepared.

I expect them to be close but how did she get snatched out of all of them?

633. "No, they were on the way home."
In response to Reply # 629


          


They were heading from the North back to Dragonstone, which is Dany's actual home base in Westeros.

Euron was just waiting for them in a cove nearby with his giant fucking ballistas.
