She leads the remaining people to another city where they pull a trick, gain an army and take over the city. She then fucks around in Essos ( that side of the world ) and has all kinds of lovely adventures. As of the most recent book ( and TV show ) she is still in Essos. Her supposed Trip to conquer Westeros has not happened, and arguably never will. FWIW I hated the Dany chapters the first read through, but enjoyed them more on future re-reads. The dragons are a bit of a wildcard - she can't really control them and they are on the edge of going rogue the whole time.

Wood Elves are supposed to be kindly wise tree hugers with an innate connection to nature and whatever. Renowed for their wisdom and mystic arts. Well what if they were also responsible for the worst monster that exists in the universe by intentionally creating it? You feel that fantasy trope? You've been SUBVERTED. GRRM'D!

Here's another question. Why are rapists in The Game of Thrones called rapers? Is it because they're like, a ~fantasy~ version of rapists?

I went to reddit to see how people were reacting. Literally saw like ten people saying hodor deserves any Emmy nomination. People seem to love it. Also so many minds blown by "Summer died because winter has come!!"... My initial reaction to this episode was basically "this is loving retarded".

Please changed the thread title to "Hold the Door" repeated as many times as will fit the forums.Cavelcade posted:"Hold the door" was dumb, but I thought the scene of him holding the door was good. I'm loving pissed they killed Summer though. Dick off, why do they hate everything cool? At this point I fully expect the Riverrun scenes to include some background chat among soldiers/hunters about how they killed the massive she wolf causing problems in the area. Blind Sally posted:
This was probably the best scene in the episode. Varus talks down to her and as she replies about his mutilation incident he just gets more and more uncomfortable. Shimrra Jamaane posted:I love how noone gives a gently caress about kinslaying anymore. Even when it's their liege lord. Even if you could excuse the Karstarks due to their overwhelming anger at their father being beheaded (for murdering people Robb explicitly told him not to) there's no reason for the Umbers to want to throw in with the Boltons. In the books they're at least forced to do so since the Greatjohn is still alive and held prisoner, though IIRC a potential heir in the book wants him dead while others of the house are very "gently caress the Boltons but we'll obey for now." davecrazy posted:Wood Elves are supposed to be kindly wise tree hugers with an innate connection to nature and whatever.

So Hodor lost his mind by being intensely focused on holding a door. So all this time he was an MRA.

I liked the actual scene but could have done without the hold the door part. I guess if I had read it in the book in a more subtle way it might have gotten a chuckle out of me.

brans timetravel hodor mindraping created a causality loop because in the book they specifically mention that 1 . the assassin who came after bran and started the war by sending cat south was in the stables and 2. that hodor, stableboy, noticed him and had been acting loving weird since the kings party went south, but couldnt say aynthing but hodor to prevent it.

RIP Summer. Why does D&D gotta kill off all the direwolves? It's going to suck rear end when someone finds Nymeria's pelt on a wall or something dumb. I liked Hodor's finale scene. It was a little hammy sure, but it was a nice reveal that Past Willis got mindfucked into Hodor by Future Bran so he could control Future Willis. Better than Horse Hodor, that's for sure.

To be fair, Celebrimbor was manipulated into it by Sauron, a fallen angel seeking tools to dominate all life. The rings turning out bad was a design feature

overall, I thought the new episode was alright. the last scene was pretty bad, though. the whole white walkers thing and children of the forest and bloodraven and--all this high fantasy poo poo is so schlocky and it feels out of place. like, they kinda tried to make it creepy and scary, but it lacked any of the impact that Hardhome had. also, it has none of the fun Harryhausen sillyness that Johen getting stabbed had. instead, it was just kinda lame. Bloodraven died like a chump (though the effects for his death in the dream were kinda neat), the Children of the Forest died like chumps, and Summer died like a chump. the Hodor scene was the best part, but that feels like I'm damning it with faint praise. i thought someone in the TVIV thread summed it up best when they said it was equal parts "lame and tragic and ominous". still probably the best episode of the season so far thanks to the lack of all things Danaerys and Dorne. i'm enjoying this season more than the last one. oh, and I realized what the loving Child of the Forest grenade scene reminded me of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHjRQJZsUGg only, you know, not good.
