Funky See Funky Do posted:The last episode has Cersei waking up in a bed of blood after a miscarriage but nothing more about her after it. Could it be that the younger brother that's supposed to kill her will be that miscarriage? It's not her brother. It's her niece/nephew and son/daughter.

Doesn't say it would be her brother. Just the little brother. The prophecy also says she'll be choked by it though but the show could just outright ignore that part.

Isn't Jamie (or the little brother or whatever) supposed to stab her with a flaming sword or is that something else

It still doesn't work with the prophecy, which says she'd have three children. I don't know if it was ever laid out in the show though. Either way I'm pretty sure the miscarriage killing her wasn't GRRM's original intent, and either the show changed it or he did.

She's had four though. I just can't see the point of them throwing in a miscarriage in the last episode of the season if it's not somehow important. That means it has to be relevant to the next season which is going to be even shorter and they have to jam in all the Long Night poo poo into it.

She's not very good at any of those titles either. I guess "Mother of Dragons" still stands, but even that seems a bit of a stretch. She's used them like, what, twice for anything worthwhile? Killing one dude to get her dickless army and then to torch some boats.

TK-42-1 posted:it was the loving opening of one of the seasons. like 5 maybe. Yup, as another goon said the flashback ended after the golden shrouds part. That was one of the minor things (among a lot of major ones) that dissapointed me in season 5. It opened up with that half of the prophecy and I thought "oh, poo poo! we are doing an introspective approach reveal, with Cersei revisiting the flashback again in later episodes of the season each time revealing a little bit more, while paralelling her sanity slippage". But nope. Nothing else comes out of that nor is it ever revisited. Instead time on that season is devoted to THE BIG RAMSAY AM WINNING AGAIN and...whatever the hell was supposed to be Dorne's plot.

JBP posted:Which season was the one where is was just a series of buddy cop adventures? That was loving poo poo. The good buddy cop was season 3-4 with Arya and the Hound The average buddy cop was season 5 with Bronn and Jaime. It would qualify as good since it has Bronn as part of the teamup, but it happened in Dorne, so it defaults to average. The bad buddy cop happened in season 4-5 with Brienne and Pod. I guess this is still ongoing? They had a 10 min cameo in season 6 I think.

As flawed as this season has been, I'm really enjoying not having Ramsay around; Euron is close but since he is on Cersei's side and he has been around for just a few episodes, he doesn't feel as awful.

Roose was a thousand times better character and should have been the Bolton point man as he deals with Ramsay, not the other way around.

I loved Iwan Rheon as Sexy Ramsay, but it suffered so much from overkill. Of course there was no way they would remove Alfie Allen from the show for a couple seasons, and chronologically it made sense to show his time becoming Reek. But there was just too much of Ramsay. And the longer he was on the show, the more he got away with. It was so clear how much D&D loved their version of that character and the show suffered for it in seasons 5 and 6. The way they handled Roose's death was ridiculous, too, but I guess it made sense in the show where Ramsay isn't reviled by everyone but a select few Bolton banner men, and his dogs. It still sucked, though.

Of course there was no way they would remove Alfie Allen from the show for a couple seasons, and chronologically it made sense to show his time becoming Reek. The Reek torture porn part was not what ruined Ramsay, although it did get hilarious after a point. What killed Ramsay was him naked fighting the ironborn unscathed, 20 goodmanning the Mannis, leisurely strolling on the battlefield completely unscahted or bloody or dirty after trashing Stannis' army, and well, the whole season 6 in which he just anticlimaticly kills a lot of named characters, including his father who was setup as being a bigger threat than he was, with no consequences at all, and then elaborates a dumb physics defing plan in which everyone dies at the right spot to form a wall of dead in an open field and then when the plot demanded it was time for him to lose he decided to shoot the giant instead of the enemy leader that was a much easier target standing just 2 feet away completely exposed. You were supposed to take him as a serious villain but they ended depicting him too cartoony, because if there is one thing this season so far has proved (and if the spoilers are true, even more so) is that D&D can only write cartoony villains. And this are the kind of people HBO thought would be a good idea to hire to write a series about the civil war.

Nah I don't think the Reek torture porn is what killed Ramsay, just doing it so early in the show and adding all the dumb poo poo they did. Like I was already tired of him before they cocked up the Winterfell storyline in the last season. That dumbass shirtless moment, though, really was the turning point.

Noctone posted:I've get that that leak is just a plot outline but good god does it read like fanfic. I mean, the full season spoilers say that: - The Stark kids reunite - Jon is a legitimate Targaryen - Jon will gently caress Dany - Gendry has become a skilled warhammer warrior like his father - At the end of the season the good guys side will have Jaime, Brienne, the Hound and Bronn The whole show from here on is a fanfic. The only thing we are missing is J'aqen revealing that he was actually Syrio Forell all along and Melisandre returning from Essos with a resurrected Khal Drogo.

Also I'm calling it now, so tell your friends you saw it here first, this whole terrible mess will end with either Jon or Daenerys (depending on who the fan polls this year favor) riding Drogon, the last surviving dragon at that point, in a tactical nuke maneuver taking down the Night's King in the process, succesfully removing all magic from the world for realsies this time, while the other watches the heroic sacrifice helplessly. Cut to a timeskip and it's Daenerys and Jon's kid visiting the grave of whichever died while accompanied by the one that survived as he tells his son "yadda yadda yadda this is the grave of your mother/father, and it's time that you learn about him and how he played The Game of Thrones" *FADE TO TITLE CARD* Extra stupid points if it's Jon that survives and Daenerys just happened to have a super secret birth before her sacrifice. lezard_valeth fucked around with this message at 08:56 on Aug 2, 2017 |

I doubt they're going to do the I had a prophecy thing that makes it morally grey and are going to do a straight up true love thing. Also, I'm glad that dudes can now only exist to be eye candy and so that a lady character can have a romance plot and doesn't exist outside of it.

What's hammering this home even further is what Littlefinger's character has turned into over the past 2 seasons. First four years of the show where they're following the books he's a master manipulator, orchestrating Jon Aryn's death, the whole War of Five Kings, Joffrey's eventual assassination, and seizing the power of the Vale. He's Varys' equal in connections and underground influences. He's a massive wildcard and a true threat to gaining the Iron Throne once all the chaos and wars he's instigated subside and he's there to pick up the pieces. As soon the show passes where he is in the books, D&D transform him into a buffoon. -Sending Sansa to Ramsay probably knowing already he's a terrible human being and the rape and abuse he puts her through makes her, the object of his affections, hate him. -Send in the Vale army to win the Battle of the Bastards hoping to ingratiate yourself with the Starks, but then continuing to just be a creepy rear end in a top hat. -"Hey, Jon, sorry to interrupt you in your PRIVATE FAMILY CRYPT as you're about to depart to possibly get burned alive by another Targ, but just wanna let you know I had the hots for your step mom and now for your sis-Jon why are you choking me?" It's like he now basically just exists to be a trolling hate sink for the Northern characters since Cersei & Euron are down south contending with Dany's forces, and the Night King can't speak and still stuck beyond the wall and they NEED an antagonist of some kind to be there for the sake of being there. Whatever "grand master plan" his character was building to the first four seasons apparently no longer exists. And hoo boy if those spoilers are true is his end going to be as fittingly dumb as his character has become. Ragnarok the Red fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Aug 2, 2017 |
