Has anyone mentioned the dumb "marked" Bran thing. The white walkers can get into the cave they couldn't before (because magic?) suddenly because Bran got touched kind of? Like when Voldemort could touch Harry again because Also, has Gurm ever talked about his religion personally? Is he an atheist? drunken officeparty fucked around with this message at 22:40 on May 23, 2016 |

theyve got like 14 episodes left, im not sure the kingsmoot is frankly important enough for a bunch of screen time and impact. got a lot of characters to kill before the end. then again the play wasnt really important either so idk.

I forget, are they on a globe or is the world supposed to be flat? Can Asha & Theon keep sailing west to Dany, or do they need to go south & around Dorne first? Edit: Or Euron, I guess. I just assumed that's where A&T were headed. vvvv Thanks! Hobo Clown fucked around with this message at 22:51 on May 23, 2016 |

It's round, but no one's ever sailed around it. Ships that go west either are never heard from again or come back after they get tired of sailing through a gigantic ocean. So the world must be a lot larger than earth.

Yara & Theon are going East, they're going to stop in Volantis. When they're discussing where to land in Westeros, Daario is going to rip the map in half and switch the halves.

BlueBayou posted:Yeah the Kingsmoot wasnt great but it was still better than Dorne! That's kind of a low bar to jump over. Still, yeah, the Kingsmoot was sort of meh and I'd also have liked Euron to play up his mystical side a little more than just being another utterly boorish Iron Islander, but the scene felt more important to establish pointers for where Theon and Yara are now going and how trust between them has been forged. If they are indeed going to Meereen, I think following their banter as they sail to Essos will be more interesting that seeing Victarion rape a slave and listening to some more religious babbling from a Red Priest. Teron D Amun posted:**theory time*** I like this theory. I do wonder how do you think other mythical entities like the Drowned God factor into this? I mean, we know in ASOIAF that magic is real and we've seen magic being clearly demonstrated that is attributed to the Many-Faced God, R'hllor and the Great Other, but I find it conspicuous that apparently the Seven Gods have no magic connections and the Drowned God seems like a rather paltry god as well.

I think this Kingsmoot was vastly superior than in the books because it lasted for about 5 minutes rather than an eternity of pages.

The kingsmoot was agonizingly slow in the books so I'm glad they rocketed through that poo poo by having craft brewer Euron Greyjoy use his possession of a dick as the key point for making him king.

They were trying to go for scary, but it was kinda a generic horror sequence with wights crawling on the roof/walls like ants. It was way too campy. They even added the stuck door that was only opened/closed at the last second. e: "Hold the door" and Hodor dying did get to me, I hope Meera spends the rest of the season telling Bran how badly he screwed up here.

Nice that we got another reminder that stannis is dead in case anyone forgot. I'm kinda convinced that they are trimming the cast for cost reasons to end their character arcs and get the cast down to the main people who will influence the end game. Same with the doggies, CGI is expensive so they are chucking them out one by one so they don't have to worry/pay anymore. The tree bit was half good half terrible. Those stupid fire grenades are dumb as gently caress.

Teron D Amun posted:**theory time*** I like that theory, if for no other reason than I appreciate someone tying all the loose ends together. I have to admit when I read / watch a story I'm very passive - I just go off of what I'm being shown. I don't try and sort out who jons parents really were ( at least I don't try very hard ). I just kick back and enjoy, and trust in the author to take me through the journey - so I'm always amazed when people come up with theories that tie lots of disparate elements together. With that said - you are assuming that the author actually has a master plan, has an origin story for the "gods" and how everything ties together. and I'm not sure about that in this particular instance.

If everything starts converging the CGI bill will start to go skyward with dragons and walls falling down and hordes of ice whatever. Which in reality means that in Ep1 Davos will rock up to Jon Snuo and be like " the mother of dragons has landed a huge navy in Kings landing and taken the city killing the high sparrow. Also the wall just fell down"

HBO executives have practically been begging D&D in recent interviews to agree to continue the show for many more seasons. It's the biggest moneymaker in the history of the network; they not-so-subtilely have implied that they would gladly write a blank check for every season going forward if D&D wanted it.

Just because an executive wants a show to last 10 seasons doesn't mean they're not gonna want to chop the budget in the last couple seasons. People are already invested and watching anyway, right?
