Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


Why does anyone care who's a tangerine? When the throne gets usurped, nobody gives a gently caress about the old royals anymore. People don't care who's in charge, they just live with it because they have poo poo to do.

Is there such a thing as eating too much rear end? How much is too much? What is the appropriate amount of rear end to eat?

What about when you are eating rear end and your tongue is buried deep and just at the tip you feel something. Something that isn't flesh. Is this the point when you have eaten too much rear end?

Once the spoilers came out, they should have re-shot the final scene where the NK revives the dragon.


Instead, he tries several times, fails repeatedly, then kicks the dead dragon in the mouth out of frustration. A giant then steps on a distracted nearby White Walker and half his army dies.

Doesn't the NK have some magic horn in the books that's supposed to knock down the wall when you toot it? The way the show is doing it the main bad guy is only a threat because the good guys are real loving dumb.

There is also some speculation that Bran moving past the wall with the NK's mark on him will screw up the protective magic on the wall the same way it screwed up the protective magic when he was chilling with Tree Raven Man.

Let's work this thought.

Foreign leader, concerned with the destabilization of the southern nation states decides to send contingents south in order to scout the unrest that is happening.

Intelligence reports that no stability is to be gained within the short term and only with some form of overwhelming force, or an outside threat, will reunite them. Thus returning an entire continent to peace.

Yeah, this poo poo has no real life basis. We've never looked at this poo poo, from an outside perspective, and said, gently caress off, you figure out your own poo poo and leave us the gently caress out of it.

Nah. We've never seen a force outside, but included, in a continent's strife attempt to do this exact thing.

You are loving eh right that the night king is the protagonist, by way of being forced into antagonism.

Sometimes you need to give people a unifying hatred of an enemy to ensure peace.

I'm glad they at least acknowledge it is a thing and their reasoning behind doing it is fair enough.

The complaints about teleportation are autistic as gently caress. That's like complaining about the guns not jamming in battlefield 1. No one wants more walking. Go watch lord of the rings or something for that poo poo

If they weren't speeding things up, everyone would just complain about having 9 or 10 seasons or whatever they'd need to even out the pace. Not sure what they'd throw in there as content filler. Jon Snow watching him gently caress his Aunt in the flames maybe. Sam Tarly becoming Lord of his ancestral home. People would just have more time to complain about how slow thing were moving.

Having things paced well is kind of the opposite of "too slow moving" no?

They're not autistic as gently caress, it is called suspension of disbelief based on context and events of the show and the traveling around willy nilly is stretching it considering Robb Stark died essentially because he had to travel a certain way and Dany's entire issue the first several seasons was "how do I travel around."

I mean even the showrunners are saying yeah we're aware but we figured it was more important to get the plot points hit. Which is fair but stop pretending like "it's weird how fast people are moving around" isn't a legit thought to have at all.

That depends on if you think there's enough interesting content that the show could successfully pad the major events with. I don't think that there is and I'm not sure the show creators would handle it well. So I'd rather just have fast.
