I truly think the death of Cersei will happen as it was supposed to in the books. It's too big a thing for Martin to not have told them and for them to stick to. Jaime will kill Cersei (maybe even accidentally) fulfilling her prophecy from Maggy the Frog, and Jon will kill Dany, just like foretold when Azor Ahai killed Nissan Nissan. As for Arya, she'll kill Sandor after he kills the Mountain.

Kylaer posted:Holy poo poo Reign of Fire. Haven't thought about that one in ages. The trailer for that movie was amazing. The movie itself was...decent, I guess. Only saw it once, and that was while it was in theaters. Maybe I should watch it again and see what my opinion is ~18 years later. Reign of Fire is pretty good until the final act. Mcconughey is in full Mcconughey-saince in the movie.

Really the problem is that in one episode Jon Snow gave away his direwolf and then lost his dragon. Now hes neither a Stark or a Targ!

The show seems to rushing as quick as possible to fulfill every checkbox on the “this is how the story ends” outline GRRM handed them. This whole episode was either secondary characters exiting the story or setting up the endgame for every other character in the laziest way possible. The actual storytelling linking this outline is complete poo poo when it even exists. Daeny need to be here and angry, Sansa needs to be here and scheming, Arya and The Hound needs to be here and cynical, Jaime needs to be here with cryptic motivations etc

My Kit expected a super happy ending and didn't get it. Or maybe he's genuinely disappointed. Or neither.

Josuke Higashikata posted:never forget this old gold Holy poo poo. Also, I would say the foreshadowing in this episode suggests that Arya is going to give the Hound a merciful death unlike the last time they parted ways. It’s ~character growth~ and the two boners in inside the bones will say: “In this scene, Arya gives the Hound the mercy of death. In their last scene, she didn’t. In episode 4, they talked again and she said she would leave him to die, but this shows character growth because Arya didn’t leave him to die and instead gave him the mercy of death, unlike when they were together last time. She did it this time because she grew as a character.”

I really hope that the end of the books will switch the order around, or make Cersei sympathetic and willing to help the North defeat the white walkers. Or at least do a better job of why she's so drat evil. She isn't the least bit sympathetic in the show, which is why a big part of the books works, because most of the villains are relatable in some way. Ramsay is the only one I can think of as irredeemable. Joffrey is just a bratty kid with too much power and Theon is just a dude whose super confused about daddy issues. They are unforgivable acts, but they are forgiveable characters. Not so with Cersei. She's willing to chance the entire 7 kingdoms being plunged into darkness so she can be Queen.i am the bird posted:Holy poo poo. This is actually believable. Sandor kills the Mountain but is also mortally wounded, and Arya finishes him off, which as you said restores her arc, and finishes her list. I like it.

Does anyone have any experience with the Game of Thrones LCG? I had spent about $800 collecting cards for the first edition, and now apparently they are incompatible with the new rules. Are there any rule supplements that allow them to be integrated into the newer system? No big deal if not, I'll just play 1st edition and say gently caress it.

The greatest trick GRRM ever pulled was not only getting all of us to complain about his lovely books and the lovely books he's not writing, but also about a terrible no-good TV show he isn't even involved in anymore the man is a top notch troll. just the top fuckin echelon

But I love the books and quite like the show and the only problem I have with the author is that it looks like he's going to eat himself into an early grave before finishing the books that, clearly, he owes me.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Arya should have taken a minute or two to explain to Gendry what it means to be lord of something, and thus how bad an idea it is for him to do it, let alone for her to follow him. How about they do literally anything else together. I hear yi ti is nice in the spring. Gendry's stupid earnestness the last two seasons is one of the few saving graces this show has to offer. Some loving crazy Dragon Queen just offered you a lordship of one of the biggest kingdoms in the continent while you're drunk off your rear end, of course you're gonna take it, gently caress yeah

There's a bunch who survived, Cersei didn't get to those outside of king's landing. Arya meets with one of Robert's bastardesses when she's with Gendry (who wants to bang his half sister but Arya interrupts), Sansa and Catelyn meet Mia Stone or whatevers her name a bunch of times, then of course there's Edrick or what's his face who Davos smuggles out of Dragonstone.

There's enough minor Baraetheons in the books still alive to have a mini succession war if Gendry ever sits the Throne in The Books Which Won't Be Written. Another prominent bastard is the chick who leads Sansa through the Eeyrie's elevator thing in AFFC/DwD. edit: beaten.

I completely forgot about Mia "donkey Rider" Stone and Edric Storm. Last time I read the books through was right before season 1 started, so I forgot that Gendry wasn't the dude that Davos saved. Has the show ever talked about the whole "there are three heads of the dragon" thing? Because obviously with what we know in the show and book, the three heads are Aegon, Griff-Aegon, and Dany. I hope book 6 doesn't introduce poo poo tons more plots this time. I loved book 5, but a bit of brevity wouldn't hurt this series at this point.

It is funny, and also true... Dorne dead doe.  Three dragon prophecy is not in show, didn't they replace it with the ash-in-Red-Keep vision six seasons back. I don't remember the show doing the three "love-betrayal" prophecies either... Could be wrong.

It's weird that there are no other Houses that have cadet branches other than the Lannisters. For as much as GRRM loves to write about minor house bullshit, it beggars belief there weren't minor Stark's or minor Baratheon's or whatever. People have lots of kids and all of them can't inherit so...
