And almost freeze near Winterfell. Sansa going through horrible poo poo doesn't render her incapable of sympathy for her sister.

I assume it really was some pre-production outline banged out in the writers room before they got to the actual script writing.

Theon's arc should end with him giving a badass speech to Euron's Iron Islanders, attempting to turn them, complete with a warcry at the end, as the heroic music soar... only for Euron to stab him through the throat and quipping "it was a good speech tho". Also episode 4 was badass.

Lloyd Boner posted:Nah they're definitely the good guys in the scene. The Dothraki making fun of the burning Lannister army to Tyrion while he watches definitely casts Tyrion's botched strategies in a much better light. Yeah the Dothraki guy yucking it up was a dick. Danny’s army/horde didn’t seem to do too well against the units who didn’t have half their men melted.

Phi230 posted:can anyone gimme the spoilers of the episode in text form because I don't wanna watch a lovely quality leak Arya shows up at Winterfell and reunites with Sansa/Bran Jon and Dany have a painfully awkward scene in the dragonglass mine that I think was supposed to be romantic but really wasn't. Dany says she believes Jon and will help him, but only if he bends the knee. Theon shows up at Dragonstone asking for help to rescue Yara, Jon says mean things to him. Jamie and Bronn are escorting the Tyrell loot back to KL when Dany shows up on Drogon with the Dothraki and wrecks their poo poo. Qyburn's ballista is effective in grounding Drogon but doesn't kill him. Jamie and Bronn (presumably) survive by throwing themselves in the water after a heroic charge against Dany. I think that's most of it. The important bits, anyway.

ultramiraculous posted:Yeah the Dothraki guy yucking it up was a dick. Danny’s army/horde didn’t seem to do too well against the units who didn’t have half their men melted. Makes sense. The Dothraki would get wrecked in a straight up fight against pike infantry or a armored cavalry formation. They'd be unstoppable as a raiding force, recon, defeating enemy scouts / forage parties or pursuing a defeated enemy. If they had kept the Unsullied around to engage and break enemy formations they wouldn't even need the dragons to defeat opponents. Alternatively, the Dothraki can move at a strategic level much faster than Westeros heavy Calvary, and burning farms / town is right up their alley.

Yeah, uh, no. Season 3 exists. It has The Rains of Castamere, it has And Now His Watch Is Ended, it has Kissed By Fire. There's three episodes that trump drat near everything else on this show. I would also put Watchers On The Wall up there, along with Hardhome and the two Sapochnik-directed S6 episodes. This was good for that loving amazing Field of Fire II scene and the Arya with Brienne scene. The scene with Bronn running through the chaos was definitely reminiscent of Jon doing so at the Battle of the Bastards.

Pac-Manioc Root posted:Goddamn I'm a softbodied goon but not so unfamiliar with the idea of physically doing stuff that I'd credit a fairly simple windmill kip up to CGI instead of a stunt double. I started doing heavy physical labor on a farm when I was twelve. Not unfamiliar. But it has her face at the end of the shot, so if it's a stunt double it would still need CGI to paste it on. Which was the main thing I was referring to because her face looks kind of blurry and weird. It might just be the video quality so I'm looking forward to the HD.

my favorite part of the battle was the random shots of the Dothraki charging headlong into spear-and-shield walls, in classic Mongol fashion. Not really sure what was going on there, considering they're shown using horse archery in other shots, which seems much more prudent given the nature of the enemy army.

WampaLord posted:They're literally a house known for flaying people. This is a non-secret about them, something they openly advertise. Littlefinger was a spymaster with access to insider, non-common information about the Boltons. I find it very hard to believe he didn't know about Ramsay. The flaying was something that they at least reputedly hadn't done for generations, though. Roose and presumably his immediate forebears had made the house seem legit and mainstream, albeit spooky. e: To be clear, you're probably right, it's probably just bad writing; I'm just saying, there are possible explanations within the storyline for this.

There were so many horsemen and the line of Lannisters was only 2 or 3 deep. It seemed like, even if they stabbed the first horse, the sheer momentum of all of them was gonna break through the line anyway

I mean, I know its a show so as many Dothraki are going to die as necessary for the next plot point, but the characters don't know that and would presumably like to preserve their forces. Running the first dragon fireblast parallel to the Lanister line would have 1) surprised the gently caress out the troops focused on the Dothraki, 2) opened up a massive hole in the line and 3)looked cooler.

Just saw the episode. I can say it, it was drat good. Littlefinger was a waste of time and space but other than that it was really good. With some modifications it should have been the 2nd episode of the season but well, it is what it is.

Not really sure what was going on there, considering they're shown using horse archery in other shots, which seems much more prudent given the nature of the enemy army. It's pretty accurate to the source material. There was a battle between Dothraki and Unsullied where the Dothraki outnumbered them 3-1 or more...and they lost. Because their honour dictated that they do nothing but smash headlong into spears over and over again. Edit: 8 to 1
