Solice Kirsk posted:If you're expecting this show to go any other way than it has 100% shown then you haven't been watching the last 3 seasons. I think the most foreshadowing they have done in the last three was when they played sad "saying goodbye" music when Tyrion and Varys said goodbye showing that they will not see each other ever again. Guess which one is going to die. For some reason you reminded me of this  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f99n4pFJZE"Ser Jablonski! Go long!"

That reminds me, did anybody else think the guy who reported that the Blackfish was dead seem, well, fishy? (sorry) As if he wasn't actually dead and that was just a ploy. A few seasons ago I would assume as such but now it may be the case. Real shame if we didn't get to see the Blackfish go out fighting.

There is nothing subtle going on. What you see on screen and what the characters say is the literal absolute truth. We're on the express train now there's no time for the complicated layers of lies and misdirection that made this show popular to begin with.

The only way the Blackfish would still be alive is if HBO had shown the soldier crossing his fingers behind his back and then winking at the camera and then Jaime eyeing him up like Larry David.

Man, people seem to be convinced that the problem with Arya's terrible denouement is that it's somehow 'medically impossible'. They're wrong, and they're wrong because they're using the show as a barometer of 'how dangerous gut wounds are'. This is a show that uses stabs as a plot device to remove characters the directors are bored with for shock value. My dad was a paramedic for like three decades. His common complaint about any and all action sequences in media is that certain kinds of violence are always depicted as being far too lethal. In real life, it can take a really long time to die from a torso injury, or even a few torso injuries. If no internal organs were significantly damaged, then you're basically caught in the limbo between 'bleeding to death' and 'will eventually stop bleeding and stabilize'. It can take days to bleed to death, even without medical attention. The problem isn't that Arya's wounds would have been definitely, instantly fatal, or that she wouldn't have been able to perform the action scenes in the next few days with some rest, treatment, and adrenaline, the problem is that the show has depicted the human body as a balloon that, once punctured, deflates in a gory heap. Areo Hotah should have gotten up and starting axing fools while leaking, Roose Bolton would have gnawed off Ramsey's face long before running out of blood. The real death sentence for Arya is that she fell into a sewer in a pre-antibiotic society with open torso wounds. In a show that didn't actively despise its viewers, she would be rotting from the inside out with the inevitability of radiation poisoning after a scene like that. emTme3 fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Jun 15, 2016 |

That would be a pretty good parallel with Dany burning the Khals too. Have Cersei lock the faith militant in the sept when they all gather there for her trial, dump wildfire on the whole place with them trapped inside, smirk smugly until Tommen bursts out looking like Maurice from Robocop.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:Is the shoestring CGI budget a real thing or just a meme? It's not just the budget, but also the time it takes to make stuff. Almost everything that is not a person on the show is CGI. The castles, cities, locations, armies, battles, fleets, statues, direwolves, dragons are all made on computers. Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4GkA6rIPDc Battle of Blackwater: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IKfzFlN4Os (D&D had to basically beg HBO for an extra $2 million to film this) Season 4 dragons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssJwFjyS7q8 Season 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgFuQZSHO6Q Hardhome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aiiCCDZqSY Average cost per episode this season is $10 million, up from $6 million in season 2, and Ep 9 is supposed to be the biggest battle of the series to date, so costs are rising with popularity. e: That said, HBO is probably happy to pay more since GoT is the most popular show on TV right now.

I imagine Ramsay's dagger entered below the sternum, through the diaphragm, and into the heart. Better than the tissue paper skin people seem to have in The Walking Dead.

Would it be remotely possible for her to run around like that a couple of days later? And actually the real dumb part is that the Waif, a trained assassin and highly competent fighter, sneaks up on a completely unaware Arya and opts to stab her in the lower abdomen like a doofus. It was all downhill from that point.

emanresu tnuocca posted:Would it be remotely possible for her to run around like that a couple of days later? Well, that was because she hated Arya and wanted her in pain -- Jaqen specifically told her not to let Arya suffer. I imagine that was some piece of the reason Jaqen let the Waif's death replace Arya's. But the annoying thing is that it would have been so easy to do that scene without complaining from the audience. Just have her struggle a little and have the Waif get her with a few good slashes before she kicks off into the water. I can certainly accept a TV protagonist bouncing back from that after a day or two of bed rest, and you get the exact same "Arya hosed up and almost dies" beat that they were going for (for whatever idiot reason). I just don't understand why they needed to explicitly show her getting stabbed in the guts. Sure, maybe adrenaline could get her through the next action scene, but afterwards she's dying because she literally has poo poo leaking into her body cavity, and no peasant actress is going to be stitching that up. I can't imagine it didn't occur to them. I'm picturing the same guy who does all the gory wound makeup coming in that day and thinking "Aw man, they're killing off Arya?"

I agree that the problem was that it required Arya letting her guard down and being dumb. If they had filmed it like "It Follows", it would've been far more compelling. Imagine her walking through the marketplace, suspicious of each and every person, as the waif slowly gets closer and closer to her, wearing a new face in each shot. Arya knew they were coming for her, she should have been paranoid and on alert from the moment she broke the glass.

C-SPAN Caller posted:So is Cleganebowl impossible now or can I still get hyped? From the way things are going, it seems BwB is going to go North for the fight against the White Walkers, well away from KL, so chances of Cleganebowl are very slim... Which I'm actually completely ok with. Now that I'm not taking the show seriously anylonger this is the kind of dumb poo poo I want to see: "The Wall has fallen. The White Walkers march South, devastating all armies that come across their path. Daenerys arrives with her dragons, but they are no match and are defeated. Emilia Clarke dies. As the battle rages on, more and more people die only to come back as enemies. All hope is dwindling... Until a hero arises amidst the chaos of the battlefield. Kissed by flame when he was but a young boy. He knows his mission now, and overcoming all his fears, takes a sword from the dieing hands of his old comrade, Berric Dondarrion. A sword enveloped by flames. Lightbringer. And with it, the Prince That Was Promised slays his way through the Wight army, leading mankind's last stand against the long night" It makes sense.

What's your guys opinion on Dany's prophecy? Do you guys think book Dany will actually see all her prophecies come true? A lot of stuff don't make any sense to me. I just think those prophecies were written before GRRM make major changes to ADWD and remove the time skip. edit: also google "Dany's prophecies" brought up an angelfire link, that's how old this series is.

Nearly all of the House of Undying stuff has come true already, and the last bit is featured in the latest preview chapter. Most of the Quaithe stuff is wrapped up and Dance with Dragons pretty much closes the book on Mirri's prophecy.
