kcroy posted:are you sure about that swimming part? anyway did you read the leaked script for that episode, it originally had jaime and bronn swimming up past a bunch of still living/drowning guys whose armor was pinning them to the bottom and you could see their "pleading eyes" or something. That was super awesome, so of course it got cut. It'd depend on how its crafted but yes if it's not restricting your mobility too much. It's still dozens of pounds of extra weight though and it'd be hell to do for even a couple minutes.

Show-Euron is the most underwhelming 'bad guy' in a long time I think. He's neither going for the mystical character that Euron is in the book, or nailing the cool-and-wordly-viking act. It's going to be such a bummer when his ships teleport in through hellfire on the seas with Euron dropping down screaming: "Time for post-credits bossfight!"

well, they're convinced that the show can't function without a joffrey/ramsay type hateable wild-card figure so they're trying to hurriedly set one up without any of the elements necessary to make it work joffrey worked because they had plenty of source-material to draw from, because he had a whole narrative support structure to ensure that he was both loathsome and threatening, and because jackie gleeson is real good at what he does ramsay sorta worked (even though most of the original material they made for him was dumb) because they had some source-material to draw from, they had four seasons to work with, and iwan rheon is real good at what he does with euron there's no source-material (not gonna pretend they're even trying to adapt book euron), no time, no context or narrative support, and an actor who may or may not be good at what he does - it's hard to tell because I'm not sure what the intent is supposed to be

PupsOfWar posted:I still can't think of more than 2 prequel ideas, given that they've already ruled out Dunk and Egg Another option is The Doom of Valeria and the Conquest of Westeros. I still think Robert's Rebellion is the best idea because it has the closest connection to the show. It allows them to recast younger versions of characters people already know and love. Who wouldn't want to see a well-cast, young Ned Stark and Robert Baratheon loving poo poo up across Westeros on their way to King's Landing. Not having Dragon's would be a downside but maybe not that big of one and maybe they could work them in somehow.

I'd like it if things were resolved with a minimum loss of human life and the recognition that wights rights matter And then all of the kingdoms decide they have intelligent leaders and stay out of each other's business and Dany, Jon, Cersei &c could get along Possibly Sansa as well

The voyage of the rhoynar(lol every day they land in a new place and hosed up poo poo happens, reset each week) or "Valyria" in the style of Rome or maybe just a "meanwhile in meereen" for the rest of the series.

heard some good theories from friends and family. I liked this one:" Bran takes over the night king, and gains control of the undead. This is important because Qyburn learned how to raise the dead, and is sending them north to kill Jon/Dany. " I mean, they really made it look like Qyburn is up to something, didn't they? I'll bet that sneaky gently caress is up to something. Question: I thought Theon lost his dick, not his balls too. I sort of assumed he was left with a bit of a stub. Did the crotch shot show then that he had been gelded?

Even if you had lost the sausage and eggs, getting kicked in the mound where your equipment used to be would still hurt a lot. depending on how it healed (probably not well all things considered) it might be way more sensitive

Regarding the Tyrion in the hallway scene, I just assumed he scowled like that because he just received a raven from Winterfell that explained Jon's heritage, and is trying to figure out wether or not he should barge in there to tell the lovely couple the truth. Sam and Bran are talking about how they should inform Jon, after all, and time is meaningless in the show. But I guess there is no evidence for this.

My best shot at the Tyrion scene is "Jon has already screwed us once due to falling in love with Dany and now those two crazy teens are gonna go at it like rabbits and make more stupid decisions" + "oh no, a Targ and a Stark banging passionately, this didn't pan out so well the last time".

Even though Cersei seemed genuinely surprised and had professed the belief that these undeads were fake she somehow concocted a plan with Euron that when these undead were actually revealed to be true he would fake being scared and go get the Gold Company?

So did anyone else find it to be absurd as hell that there were dragon remains in the Dragonpit? Like, that place could've been under guard 24/7 for the last 200 years and there's still no way in hell something as valuable as dragon bones would've still been lying around. I'd figured the bones Jon picked up were just from some random animal and not one of the last/tiny dragons but apparently that was giving HBO far more credit than they deserve. e: Yep, I definitely gave them more credit than they deserve, going by this cut Winterfell scene: https://io9.gizmodo.com/game-of-thrones-cut-a-scene-that-wouldve-explained-that-1798622658 Bran continues the Stark tradition of all men in the family being awful and worthless.

Yes really. This is the first I've heard what the show is actually about. Wouldn't that come off as more anti-confederacy though? To show what non-functional garbage the whole concept of the confederacy was and how if they actually got what they thought they wanted it would be a racist monstrous poo poo show and have nothing to do with states rights or whatever. It sounds similar to Man in the High Castle, but I've never heard anyone describe that as pro-nazi.

Do you really think that these guys are gonna have the balls to show the true brutality of slavery when game of thrones literally has am active plot of slaves loving their new queen because she's slightly nicer than the old owners? The inherent issue is that whatever they do will he a whitewash because the actual institution of chattel slavery was horrifying on a level that the general TV audience just won't be willing to tune in for. Django Unchained was accused of being violence porn already and that poo poo was a fairly mild depicting of slavery. It'll inevitably just be the same Virtuous Southerner poo poo as every other piece of media about the Confederacy.
