nine-gear crow posted:The flashback to the Night King being created straight up confirms that he’s responsible for the seasons being elongated and out of whack in Westeros and if he’s taken out not only will the Walkers and the wights all drop dead too but it will instantly restore the seasons back to normal so nobody will have to worry about winter and poo poo any more. Uh what. When does it confirm that?

banned from Starbucks posted:Uh what. When does it confirm that? The scene where he’s turned takes place in the same place as the Three Eyed Raven’s tree is, deep in the Land of Always Winter, but it’s shown to be warm and full of greenery and a normal landscape. The next time we see the same spot (chronologically, at least), it’s frozen over and has been for a very long time. The Children of the Forest confirm that the Night King was the first White Walker they ever made and was basically patient zero for the ice zombie apocalypse. Now, correlation doesn’t mean causation, but the implication is pretty strong—the land beyond the Wall is a frozen hellscape because of the Walkers in general and the Night King specifically. It probably won’t thaw out instantly if NK gets ganked, but it probably will eventually.

The moment the GRRM dialogue runs out it becomes painfully obvious what complete hacks D&D are. You could use that "let's play a drinking game" scene with Tyrion, Missandei, and Grey Worm in film or literature classes to demonstrate how not to be "clever".

HBO has truly devolved into male gaze trash for chronic masturbators and teenage boys too stupid to follow a real plot. Dawg, it’s a TV show, like just change the loving channel.

They also make a big deal of how the arrows the blue cat people fire are poisoned but the arrows are the size of spears and impale humans as if fired from a ballista so the poison seems pretty redundant.

I suspect either deus ex army from essos to save the day or deus ex dragons from previously unseen eggs laid by the first 3 somewhere. Or maybe the series will end on a show of dragon eggs in some sorta nest.

Jaime will end up killing her to complete his face turn, but we've known that forever. Edit: Speaking of Jaime idk why they thought him and Bran was big enough to end an ep on. Brans entire schtick is not giving people the reaction they expect when they meet up again and it's just gonna be the same thing, maybe a slightly extended version if we're lucky?

The circle of arms was cool as gently caress, and I wish they left the white walkers more mysterious so you were just super unnerved by whatever the gently caress they are doing to places now that they are south of the wall.

I want the grrmy twist to be that the Night King is actually super easy to kill, and Drogon just flames him to death next episode and the whole white walker/undead threat just evaporates (also Bran because he is the Night King for some reason). Then we can see the rest of the humans fighting amongst themselves for the rest of the series, with Dany and Cersei acting progressively crazier.

The fight against the Night King is basically a fight against like 10,000 years of history and beating him means the world finally gets to move on from his cycle of death and bullshit. Honestly with all the sick fuckers on the show everybody forgot about Craster. Possibly the worst person on a show composed primarily of horrible people.

Katt posted:Pages of rants about how they must be children. We must have children and lots of children in the right age. This does make sense though - the story is primarily interesting _because_ they are children. The story has a nice twist, but the character development of Ender, as a child, makes more sense than Ender, a 16 year old. A GLISTENING HODOR posted:And here's the thing, here's the GRRMy subversion: Dany, the hero's journey character, has to die. And when she dies it will be because one of the characters with a valyrian steel sword shoved that poo poo into the fire lady's heart. I like it! Sam as hero would be interesting. Jon could do it ( choosing fam first ) or Arya. Is love / sacrifice a requirement of the AA prophecy? MoaM posted:I just came to the realization that Meera and Howland will likely never show up in the show again. It's always been weird we never see Howland Reed. He's alive, he knows about Jon, in any other book - dude would pop up somewhere. Maybe those little shits show up at final battle riding children of the forest or something.
