SHINee's back

Beric has done it a few times and cracks gags plus seems pretty personable though.

Yeah, I realize the show has already forgotten about how there's supposed to be consequences.

I'ma still be pissed, though. Jon being exactly the same despite dying and coming back has been my biggest problem with the show thus far.

You've got to know, to understand,
Baby, take me by my hand,
I'll lead you to the promised land.
I feel like Jon is dour enough and is always rocking a thousand yard stare. H's not exactly Mr Personality.

I want Gendry to give him a hard time and lighten him up personally. It's fine having your undead po faced leader furrow his brows and poo poo a lot, but it can become pretty boring.

Do you know that scene in the Simpsons when Homer is making breakfast and pours some milk into cereal and it bursts into flames?

That's the Night King's ice spear hitting Viserion.

HOLY gently caress

Tormund had a really close call there.

My heart was about to give up and believe that the spoilers were wrong and was ready to give up on this show because they killed Tormund

Uh... Kupo?

If Gendry and/or Davos or someone made Jon always lighten up or something, and each time he comes back he gets more grey-faced and neutral and that person has to witness the changes because Jon confides in him, it could be interesting.

The events of the show are hard enough and ALSO him dying is taking a toll on him, and it would be interesting to see him break down and pray for an end to a close friend and get all weepy maybe, but then in a more public scene put on a stoic face and move forward. And it'll make everything he does a bit cooler. Like, he's suicidal basically but still holding on because he feels he has to do X.

Instead, he just comes back like he used a Mario life.

Jon's not gonna die again. Not sure where you're getting that. Thoros and a red shirt are going to die and Beric and the rest of them are gonna escape.

I thought the most recent reiteration of the detailed spoilers said that Jon falls off of Drogon and dies and Beric sacrifices himself to revive him.

Also, Thoros dies.

Those two are the redshirts at this point. The most we ever got to know them was in the Arya/Hound crossing the riverlands mess a few seasons back. And then they hooked back up with Sandor because Reasons.

At the very best case scenario (by the way the whole scene was shot with one WW having a Dragon Slayer spear at the ready) this somehow gives some credibility to the theory that everyone is not loving dead brain stupid and just gave the NK a way to break the wall, but rather it was all predestined to happen and that the NK was waiting there cause he has future sight powers like the 3 eyed raven.

Like you have to look really really hard for that silver lining.

Another silver lining, now goons can sperg on how the gently caress does a zombie dragon work.

Fire is supposed to make the wights stop dead in their tracks and zombie dragon has fire in his tummy so he should be in a constant state of zombiefying-unzombiefying.

Or do gurm dragons just spit a highly combustible liquid that catches fire the instant it makes contact with air?
