Vegetable posted:Gregor pulled a man apart like a toy. If you like the Hound why would you ever root for Cleganebowl The Hound holds his own against him the one time they show them fight at the Hand's tourney near the beginning of the series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaIwtO6VWCU&t=176s Maybe he would have the advantage against the Mountain now that we have an undead Mountain who is dimwitted and probably less agile than when he was alive? Idk

I mean, somebody has to kill Frankenmountain somehow. If it isn't the Hound it's probably going to be Jaime, Brienne, or Arya. And I don't want any of them to get headsplatted either really.

FWIW Hound is arguably described as the better fighter throughout the books pre-zombie, everybody comments on how fast he is even for his size while everyone talks about how big and slow Gregor is.

Why does Lancel chase the boy outside the church? Wasn't he sent to collect Cersei? Also, what was the point of luring Lancel towards the bomb to begin with? Is the idea that if people start removing rubble from the crater, they'll find Lancel's body, with a torch, at ground zero and assume he's the one that blew up the church? I feel like I missed something here.

Yeah, the Mountain isn't depicted as completely unstoppable. The only reason Oberyn doesn't beat him with a combination of reach, speed, and poison is that he gets cocky/morally indignant and refuses to just let him die without trying to force him to indict Tywin in front of the whole court.

I feel like I missed something here. I'm guessing he recognised the boy for a little bird. Why he lured Lancel in the story? gently caress knows. The real answer is having him down there on the verge of putting out the candles made the explosion less of a foregone conclusion and added tension.

I'm assuming the kid lured Lancel because he was specifically on Cersei's hit list and he was about to leave the sept early.

The kid didn't purposefully lure Lancel to the bomb. He ran away to a familiar dark place so he could stab him and take off.

I bet Sandor will kill his brother using fire, because it's the only thing that kills zombies, and it's also showing that his fear of fire is less than his hatred of Gregor. BUt then question is why they'd fight? I guess there will be some reason for the Brotherhood to fight Cersei's forces, probably after joining with Jon.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the insanely good music in this episode? I'm so happy that the soundtrack has already been released. In my opinion, both "Lights of the Seven" and "The Winds of Winter" are masterpieces.

Arya heads north from the twins and kills littlefinger imo. Only other option is shes heading back to kingslanding as part of the lannister house hold staff to try and take out cersei. News of littlefingers declaration for the north would likely reach the riverlands pretty quick.

Elias_Maluco posted:Its funny to think Jon was literally made king by a 10 years old girl Yeah, but she's the most bad rear end ten year old in Westeros so it's not that embarrassing. It's funny how a season after many critics left or blasted the show for misogyny, literally all the most powerful characters on the show, besides Jon, are women. I can't wait for the MRA meltdowns. Have any happened already?

Linguica posted:Re: travel times, people have accepted that characters can travel short / medium distances within an episode, and long distances between episodes, and that's fine. But when a character is in Dorne at minute 30 of an episode and back in Meereen in minute 69 of that same episode, you've clearly thrown that rulebook out the window. Plus the fact that it was a completely unforced error, since there was no pressing need to have Varys standing on the ship for their episode-ending hero shot. The result is that it feels like the showrunners don't care about their own world and just move the characters as far as they want at any time (which is true of course, but we'd prefer they be less obvious about it). I think the Varys talking to the pussies part was supposed to be in an earlier episode. D&D probably changed their mind and added Olenna in the meeting which pushed the scene to the last episode. Personally I don't care, anything revolve around Dany belongs to a cheaper Showtime high fantasy. I don't care about any continuity error related to Dany.

When that Sparrow sunk his board-with-a-nail-in-it into the Mountain's chest, was the idea that the armor blocked it, or he's a zombie and didn't even flinch that it stabbed him?

Up until Davos started grilling Melisandre I had forgotten that he was not present when Shireen was killed. Also, I don't remember any scenes of him discussing it after-the-fact. Did he only figure out she was burned alive when he found the deer carving? Had he previously assumed she was killed by the Boltons?

I think this one time the ending was actually meant to strongly imply that "a significant portion of time has passed", the only plot that ended on anything resembling a sense of immediacy was Bran and Meera as we would expect them to be back at Castle Black within days or weeks, the rest of the plots could have had months between them. The clearest chronology is that Cersei blows the sept -> Olenna goes to Dorne and meets varys -> Varys is back at Meereen by the end of the episode. So basically Cersei and Jon have already been monarchs for at least a few months and nothing exciting has so far happened. This will also make sense as Sam is revealed to have studied everything he needs and head north in the next episode.

I'd say he either assumed that the Boltons had overrun the camp and Mel escaped, or Mel flat out lied about what happened.

The second one. It actually went through pretty cleanly an inch or two. Not gutted or anything but a clean cut into the skin at the very least. I like that the holes are still there afterwards. mastershakeman posted:I'm really hoping there is no explanation whatsoever for how bran gets back across the wall Me too but he'll probably be one of the biggest reasons why the wall falls. My guess that the one eyed raven didn't tell him because it's inevitable. He has to be ready regardless.

There will be someone somewhere (probably Preston Jacobs) who takes the time to put down on paper how much time has passed inbetween each of the arcs this season. It'd be hilarious for instance to discover that Littlefinger is a year ahead of everyone else while Arya's been in Westeros since the High Sparrow released Margaery.emanresu tnuocca posted:The clearest chronology is that Cersei blows the sept -> Olenna goes to Dorne and meets varys -> Varys is back at Meereen by the end of the episode.

Spoilers for Season 7: Danaerys's ship accidentally hits Gendry's rowboat, killing him. Half-naked Dothraki all die to hypothermia in the Westeros winter. That prostitute Maester Pycelle never paid goes berserk and kills everyone else relevant to the plot. Final shot is a slow fade out of Ser Pounce sitting on the Iron Throne while this song plays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEg4SEch27w
