Shooting Blanks posted:Has it ever been explained why the three eyed raven is important? Great, he can see the past. Is there a known reason it's so central to the story, or is that part of the big reveal? He can not only see into the past, but shape it - thereby altering the present and future. Or something.

Kromlech posted:Well, Hodor used to be able to talk when Bran was a young child, but i get what you're saying - it's a causality loop that defies explanation. Whenever Bran actually changes the past, he was "fated" to do it. What happened to Hodor implies Bran can't actually change the present by changing the past.

Theory: What if the 3 eyed raven was invading the mind of the mad king trying to warn him about the long night and instructing him to "burn them all" (the wights) and that's what drove him mad?

So next episode Jon gets to Dany while Arya is apparently the slowest loving traveler in Westeros.

Grem posted:So next episode Jon gets to Dany while Arya is apparently the slowest loving traveler in Westeros. Travel speeds on this show make 0 sense if you think about it at all. Varys and Littlefinger can both teleport, apparently. But, to handwave, I will say that Jon is taking a boat, while Arya's going on land. Boats are faster.

I wish the directing/editing were more uniformly terrible.The greyscale cutting to Hot Pie's hot pie was pretty ah...I guess just terrible in a different way.

I actually liked the direction of Euron's attack, the shot of Yara looking out towards the boats and then it tracks to show the flaming spear hitting the mast was particularly nice. And of course, the gangplank kill was  as gently caress.

Mike N Eich posted:The writing and plotting is horrifically bad, really really bad, but the direction, sets, props, etc. have only gotten better so it's a really weird show. You still have really fun entertaining sequences, and then really strange, boring, and obvious plot fodder like the Jaime Telling the Audience The Situation, and the Sand Snakes reminding you they exist before being killed. I appreciate the dumb obvious plot stuff because as a casual viewer I need it sometimes.

The after the show talks from the director states the "That is not you" is supposed to be a call back to her saying "that is not me" to ned stark in season 1. Both her and her wolf turned down lives of domestication.

3:1 odds on one of jon's ultimate scenes being a megaman-esque boss rush where he has to kill zombie versions of craster, locke, and the fookin legend karl tanner before he faces down ~the night king~

Constant posted:The horses could go about four miles an hour for about eight hours. That makes 32 miles but the infantry could only go about 25 miles. An all mounted force could go further of course, land travel would take months Alexander the Great marched from Alexandria-eschate to Maracanda in 3 days, a total of 180 miles. People can go a lot faster than you'd think if they're not bogged down by wagon trains.

Ever since I first read the books and learned about Littlefinger's duel with Brandon Stark, I've wished for his death scene to by a long, epic sword fight in which it is revealed that Baelish has been secretly honing his sword skills ever since and is now a great swordsman, and fights a duel against a white walker captain that ranges all over Winterfell from the gates all the way to the top of the highest tower

They put the worst parts of this show on a boat and sank the loving boat and I'm so glad. Shame they didn't get all of them.

I imagine a whip could be a pretty decent decent weapon in certain circumstances, unfortunately a giant brawl where everyone is wearing armor isn't one of them.

Both her and her wolf turned down lives of domestication. Is it expected that we remember that exact line from Season 1? What a weird call back and awkward stupid line if you don't remember that. I thought it was likely Nymeria but then it was strange that Nymeria wanted nothing to do with her and she says it's not her. I don't know if I should take that literally or not since I'm not sure why the wolf is leaving. It not being Nymeria is as good a reason as any I thought.

My favorite part was that Whip Snake got the drop on Euron two times, but because she is fighting with a loving whip instead of an actual weapon, she is now dead. Oh is it just me or is Emilia Clarke a really lovely actress that has about one expression, which is fitting for nothing but season one episode 1-3 Dany?

Euron got stabbed at least twice in that fight, Whip Snake had no chance with any weapon The show can't seem to envision drama without some kind of invulnerable supervillain

i'm fairly certain the "that's not you" line is Arya reflecting the dire wolf's own thoughts; Arya isn't Arya from back then anymore it makes sense if you combine it with the Hot Pie scene from earlier where he asks her "what happened to you?" and she doesn't really answer him

Zippy the Bummer posted:i'm fairly certain the "that's not you" line is Arya reflecting the dire wolf's own thoughts; Arya isn't Arya from back then anymore Yea, this is basically my view of it as well. Nymeria doesn't recognize her anymore, much like Hot Pie doesn't recognize her anymore. She now must unlearn being "no one" and become Arya Stark again.

Remember when the Hound let Arya stab his armor? "Your fancy moves and weapons don't matter when your opponent wears armor and is twice your size." That scene basically mocked all the dumb fighting gimmicks people come up with. Then the show introduced 3 teenage circus acrobats with dumb gimmicks.

The Sand Snakes were clearly the bad guys on the show at this point, so I guess the writers mean for us to cheer for Euron then? I wonder what he will do the rest of the season, since all I remember reading in the leaks was this part. Theon had the right idea of fleeing, but man, I just felt so bad, what the hell is he gonna do now. A daring rescue of Ashayara? Just get on the boat with Gendry never to be seen again? Surely he will at least meet Jon who will punch Theon around a bit?
