When was the last penis shown?

These are the real questions that should be concerning people on this forum

Where has the tits, penis and rape budget gone?

Did we really sacrifice them all for Dragon brochette?

Was the arrow shaped mountain a place that has been shown before? How did they get from the east watch to there which would have been close to castle black in the middle.

Pretty sure Missandei + Greyworm sex scene was the only scene with tits.
And we didn't even see ken-doll Greyworm's nethers.

Why the gently caress would you send the guy who has never been north of the wall to run all the way back to Eastwatch so he can send a message in time to some random frozen lake? Why not the guy who has spent his entire life north of the wall and probably knows exactly where they're at?

Why was Gendry up north anyway? Shouldn't he be in Winterfell making a poo poo ton of weapons with freshly mined dragonglass?

We can talk about future season leaks/rumors and generally more bookchat here. I do agree it's starting to get redundant to have two but it was nice being able to talk about the episode 6 leak here.

Well I mean, he's right. Just look at the other guys.

Hound: big and slow
Tormund: also big and slow
Thoros: old and drunk and dying
Beric: old and slow
Jorah: old and slow
Jon: maybe as fast, but has the only weapon that can kill White Walkers
Gendry: young and fast

So pretty easy to see.

He could have sent a red shirt, and kept all the named characters on screen.

Plus imagine the memetic ascension the red shirt would have gotten if he managed to call for help in time. We haven't seen that since Potato Boy ascended

Get him in the sled, by this point he can probably row super fast even on land.

A lot of the bitching in this thread could have been solved with some easy work arounds:

1. Dany shows up on her own with no prompting because she was getting worried about Jon and it was taking too long for him to get back. No raven, no teleporting, just the typical showing up right place right time. Woulda been consistent with the timing and made sense why she did it.

2. Viserion falls on the ground somewhere dead, not in a lake. No reason for him to fall in the lake. If he was dead, the group still woulda had to ditch him to save their own lives. No chains, no lake, easy.

I don't know how they coulda saved the Littlefinger stuff tho it's just pretty bad but oh well.

Redshirts would have died somehow on the way back, and you think Jon took the time to talk to them to find out who they were and their talents? Nope. He didn't even get around to offering Longclaw back to Jorah until they were halfway there.

There are definitely some valid criticisms to be leveled at seasons 5-6-7 of this show that set it apart from seasons 1-4, and most of the people posting in this thread have done a good job of breaking them down and making great observations.

That said, hate watching and commiserating about it on the internet is probably one of the worst "cultures" the internet age has produced, and I say that having browsed SA since 2007 and rarely missing a week off the weekend web.

A lake that was already frozen and the dead men were scared to test it until the hound threw a rock that didn't break the ice so they know it can now support 10,000 skeletons, and they are dead anyway they don't need to breathe

I just got to the part where the random falls into the zombies and it cuts to his perspective looking up and blood goes everywhere. What a loving cliche zombyism that's in every movie about them.

the drama and tension in this episode were great and it kept going up even after the dragons showed up! I thought the scenes of the rangers were good, the show has always done that thing with two characters you never see talk well. and they ran through a bunch of them this week.

I'm amazed that Tormund, Gendry, Jorah, and Beric all survived. I thought they'd kill Gendry to do a spell or something but I guess not.

When did they turn into flesh-eating zombies anyway? At the start of the series they were content to arrange body parts in weird patterns now they're eating people alive.

It was done this way to make clear why they hadn't had a chance to burn his body. If he had gone down on land they just had to do another strafing run to burn his body with one of the other dragons, This way it's evident why they couldn't. Clumsy (the chain part), but it worked well enough for me.

I'm normally pretty much along for the ride with whatever stupid poo poo shows and movies like this come up with, but I really don't understand why Jon stayed so long to fight the wights, and then why Danaerys didn't blame him for Viserion's subsequent death.

I knew he was going to die since last Fall when the spoilers came out, but the way they ended up doing it was confusing and poorly done.

Not only was the zombie army carrying around thousands of tons of chain for just this eventuality, they also apparently have underwater diving wights capable of fashioning some kind of purchase around the dead dragon at the bottom of the frozen lake.
