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.

Now this is the kind of sperging this thread really needed to take it to the next level

I skimmed you guys talking about them chaining the dragon out of the lake before seeing it and thought they were going to use Benjens mace chain

And if the wights are capable of carrying out complicated rigging tasks underwater, why didn't they just walk through the frozen lake, bust out from below the ice at the shore of the island, and take out our heroes right away instead of waiting there in a circle until the lake refroze and the dragons arrived, like idiots.

who were the guys that 1) got killed by the bear and 2) got ripped apart by the wights? Just random mooks?

Where did they get 4 mega long mega huge chains like that?

CDHiggs posted:

It's from the recent leaks, and I've got little reason to doubt them...especially since the ones last November about Season 7 have also proven to be right.

I don't really believe in the season 8 spoilers

not because they read like bad fanfic (since that's the show now) but because they're sorta written in the fashion of somebody who has either watched the show (which hasn't been filmed yet) or stalked the sets

like they're ~visual in the way they editorialize

also I don't think even dave&dan are dumb enough to have their most iconic character die in childbirth, of all things, after eight seasons of hollering about being The Dragon's Daughter and burning people alive

or to reuse the "wildfire cache blows up a large portion of the cast" bit
you only get to do that once!

verb the adjective noun

I remember that nonsense with the Waif last season, and how I thought 'this cannot be this stupid without some kind of twist that at least mitigates the stupity, or expains all the things that don't make sense.

And I remember that now, watching dumb, dumb Arya reading dumb, dumb lines, in the dumbest way - and I just know better this year.

So instead of an ingenious Arya plan being revealed (exemplifying her training or something) that slightly off-sets the whole contrived plot so far, it'll be ... the sisters walking in on Littlerfinger loosening a screw on Bran's wheelchair.

It's the chain Tyrion built in season 2 that the plot forgot about. Just showed up.

The ice that was once so fragile that running across is would cause it to break is now strong enough to support hundreds of wights, tons of chain, and the weight of a dragon.

*preston jacobs voice*
he left his sword at Eastwatch in a bid to passive-aggressively bait Jon into offering Longclaw, so that he could then turn it down and look the better man to bystanders

jorah is a better nth-dimensional chess player than varys or littlefinger, it's just that all of his moves revolve around trying to impress daenerys in increasingly oblique and improbable ways

He is not alone, the whole roster of "characters that need to have a reunion/interaction with each other" are there

Brienne and Jamie
Brienne and the Hound
Tyrion and Cersei
Tyrion and Podrick
The Hound and The Mountain

The only ones who don't know anyone there are Daenerys and Jon which could lead to cool "meeting for the first time" interactions were they portrayed by competent actors. Best we can hope is for Lena and Nikolaj to carry those scenes for them.

The actor claimed at the beginning of this season that Euron was gonna do horrible things that would make everyone hate him more than Ramsay.

Euron's actor should definitely be selling used cars
