I don't mind the ice zombies and the eternal winter or whatever. They're neat. One of my favourite scenes is when the Night King is staring at Jon Snow and then resurrects all the wildlings around him without ever breaking eye contact with the living. That was cool, creepy and atmospheric I also like the idea that we get the realms fighting each other in traditional wars at the start of the show while the supernatural creeps closer just out of view But, it's been 7 years now. The zombie war needs to fuckin start already but we're still doing lannisters vs starks. It just feels muddled

ice zombies function as a flagrant metaphor for anything that's gonna ruin everyone's poo poo if we continue to waste all our resources fighting over who gets to enjoy the most resources. It's like a stand in for basic game theory. Everyone works together: everyone wins Everyone works against each other: everyone loses Some faction of people work against everyone: That faction wins (maybe)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozkHwFG91AI This is good. The zombies aren't interesting, but they're just weapons used by the iceguy and this scene made me want to see more of him. I think the best part is the silence. You've just seen like a huge battle at Hardhome and it was screams and swords and death and skellymans rattling everywhere hysterically. But then the Night King just tells 'em to stop and resurrects everyone and there are no words or swelling music. It owns

I just think that ice zombies aren't needed, they're just a plot device to force everyone together and that can be done many other ways. But looking at the Night King as a kind of warlock is slightly more original than "the smartest zombie"

Dragons are fine and fun to watch. Lore-wise they are the only reason the 7 kingdoms ever became one country at all.

But the Lannisters should have gotten the crazy alchemist dude who turned the mountain into a zombie to come up with some sort of magical anti-dragon super weapon instead of a lame ballista.

Lil Peeler posted:And you can see it as the books go on. Game of Thrones is all about dangerous medieval political intrigue. And this is why Sansaz whether people like or not because the actress isn't very good at it, is the best Stark. Cause she's not dumb medieval Batman, or 3 eyed autist, or resurrected/whatever Jon Snow's deal is, but she's the one Stark who learned how to handle the political intrigue that got Sean Bean killed.

This except when Euron pulls Jaime out he takes his gold hand and sticks its index finger in Cersei's bee hole

HAT FETISH posted:i hope the burny godzilla is ok quote:The next few years of the war became more and more violent. The Targaryens returned to Dorne to unleash their dragons, and the Dornish responded with fire of their own. In 10 AC, at Hellholt a bolt from a scorpion pierced Meraxes through the eye. The dragon fell from the sky with Rhaenys on its back, destroying half the castle. It is not certain whether Rhaenys outlived Meraxes. There are those who say that Rhaenys lost her seat and fell to her death, while others claim that Rhaenys was crushed to death beneath Meraxes in the castle yard. A few accounts claim that Rhaenys survived the fall and died a slow death, being tortured by the Ullers. Due to the uncertainty about Rhaenys's exact death, history records that she died in 10 AC at Hellholt in Dorne. Her body was never returned to King's Landing  The real tragedy is that Bronn won't even get badpussy for his efforts.

I kind of hate that it's always a known character doing something. It should of been a bunch of redshirts shooting that thing instead of bronn video game quick time eventing his way through the battlefield.

I think it was kind of reasonable in this case considering he had to get through a dothraki guy charging at him and evade him. Bronn is good at escaping things, random redshirt guy probably isn't as much.

I have no doubt the show runners are going to do some lame poo poo, like have Bronn killed doing some noble thing in order to make some lovely statement. They should let Bronn ride off in to the sunset with a bad bitch.
