bloom posted:So what was the point of Euron burning the Unsullied's ships if they're just gonna show up in King's Landing anyway? I don't mean this as a "hurr teleportation" complaint, since presumably they just marched there and pillaged the countryside for supplies(but you know, in a good guy way). I just don't see what it added to the story when it obviously didn't inconvenience them in any way. It really seems like they wrote this season episode by episode without considering the larger arc because they forgot or totally dropped seemingly important plot threads within the same season they were introduced. They're just in total whatever mode right now

Constant posted:maybe im remembering my spoilers wrong Nah, i think it makes perfect sense if you look at it from the producers stand point. Gotta get a shot of Castle Black falling, another bullet point down on their list. I believe it is even the first scene of the next season, so it also makes for a good opening.

WTF was the point of the Dothraki and Unsullied in this episode anyway? As far as I can tell they teleported to Highgarden (I think?) and did nothing other than trigger some banter between Bronn and Jaime, who then themselves teleported to King's Landing.

Ok on my 3rd rewatch i figured out how Tormund and Beric could've survived. When he comes out of the little watcher hut and yells to run he hangs a right and books it westward across the top of the wall. Then it cuts to a bunch of redshirts running down the myriad stairs towards the Eastwatch castle. I dont think Tormund tried to get down at all and he and Beric can just travel across the top of the wall to Castle Black

Next season will start with Tormund and Beric arriving safely and unharmed to Winterfell. It wouldn't be the first time the show pulls a Bolivian Army Cliffhanger and next episode the character makes it out all right without even handwaving it. Sam survived the Wights and NW back in S2 when the writing was still alive.

Couldn't help myself and read the season 8 spoilers. Oh boy. Overall, I don't mind the broad strokes because how else do you wrap up this series in six episodes, but I really hope there's a lot of misinfo there in how everything settles. Killing the bulk of the characters, sure, that's fine. The deaths of Jon & Dany are just... really unsatisfying though. Tyrion being a temp king is fine too, but there's a thru line that just snaps in context of our two main heroes not sticking around. Him raising the kid instead of either of his parents means pretty much all the character investment & lessons learned by them won't matter squat for the future ruler. Super unsatisfying. This ain't no Wire, but one of the best parts of that show was how it really built on the notion of a wheel of archetypes- after five seasons, characters would come and go but the game remained the same. There'd be corrupt cops, good cops, corner kids, etc. etc. and they'd follow familiar paths as each grew older, developed, & were groomed for their position. GoT has that kind of feel coming from the Mad King -> Rob's Reb -> the show... but after killing off so many without bringing in new blood it's kinda gone stale. Let the bear family little girl survive the undead army assault and be a future leader in the new world. That'd be easy to do. Super satisfying. They don't have many 'next gen leaders' left, and the spoilers sound like they'll be killing off whoever is left & replacing them with kinda sub par characters. Sam seems like he'd be a pretty lovely leader. Sansa as the ruler in the north is dope, but I guess there'd just be a lot of empty castles everywhere for people to take. All to say, I really, really hope they don't kill Dany in childbirth, as that's such a lovely way for the character to go out.

wait but that was actually thoughtfulEatinCake posted:Couldn't help myself and read the season 8 spoilers. Oh boy. Tyrion watched both of them grow and change. He doesn't need to be them to have learned their lessons, and frankly he'd be a better dad than either. quote:This ain't no Wire, but one of the best parts of that show was how it really built on the notion of a wheel of archetypes- after five seasons, characters would come and go but the game remained the same.

Let the bear family little girl survive the undead army assault and be a future leader in the new world. That'd be easy to do. Super satisfying. But that's what the s8 spoilers say? Yara is as good as Sansa if not better. lol Dorne. I guess I wonder where the gently caress Gendry went this week, it was weird for him just to gently caress off to neither Winterfell nor King's Landing nor Dragonstone nor the Wall. That bit actually makes less sense than the aerodynamics of a holey-winged dragon. But then, quote:Sam seems like he'd be a pretty lovely leader. Sam's not his dad. Very explicitly. Sam's dad was a poo poo leader, got Sam's hotter brother killed for no drat good reason. Empty pride. Again, this part does make some narrative sense. quote:All to say, I really, really hope they don't kill Dany in childbirth, as that's such a lovely way for the character to go out. Killing off Jon's baby mama the same way his own mom died? That's poo poo? Alrighty, then. I just try to end each episode half as drunk as any given Lannister. So should you.

a.lo posted:so they went with the who dead dragons bit did they? that's cool. NOT. like, i was sorta expecting it last episode when the dragon died, i kept nudging my girlfriend, "when are they going to resurrect the dragon?" of course they did as the final scene in the previous episode. but i just feel that it's lazy. i thought it would be dead men vs dragons but i guess not. so now we have to deal with a dead dragon? i am sure somehow jon snow (forgot his real name already, sorry) will somehow try and communicate with it at some point and bringing back to their side. also if the undead have a dragon why not just fly right down to king's landing already? they took out a thousand foot wall in a matter of minutes killing thousands just from this dragon, hey guess what night king? you already won buddy. take it over man fly to the throne and claim it You sound like a fun guy to watch things with.

Probably already said, but I didn't get why Cercei bothered with the fake rousing speech about joining forces and how she's totally doing them a solid. Even if Jamie didn't end up riding north to tell them about the doublecross, they're all going to notice the lack of Lannisters up there anyways. But I guess it works as a stall tactic when you're working with the bizarro time passage of this show, where a whole army will march off and probably get halfway across the continent before noticing that their allies aren't coming with.

The "call our banners - all of them" part was so absurd. It's clearly established that the Lannisters are already fielded all the men under their control to take Highgarden - there are no banners left to call. This brings me to my larger point - Jaime and Bronn make it very clear that the military position of the Lannisters is hopeless, why is their support this important to team Good Incest?

so if poo poo is true, ~2.5 - 3 years after the series ends, HBO will release an ARG where ppl have to dig through piles of poo poo they've carefully placed around London and find scraps of paper that they piece together to form a bitcoin address. if you send $10 to this bitcoin address hbo will randomly generate an address to send you $.01, and that address you received from becomes a one time use password that you can use to attend a local 2 minute trailer screening of the next GoT (probably called Game of Tombs) that shows - rains of castamere (from the national) is playing, raven pecking at dany's bloated dead body floating in blackwater bay, a bunch of flashbacks from GoT, night king bran smiles, the raven's eyes glow blue, it tongue kisses emilia clarke and right when the song goes "and not a soul to hear" her eyes open all blue and she does the classic overconfident dany smile

Cersei's whole speech was an act anyways so the whole 'call the banners' thing was probably just for theatrics. And Team Good Incest doesn't really need Lannister (AKA Team Blonde Incest) support; they just don't want to get backstabbed while they're off fighting zombies. IIRC they were perfectly fine with all the Lannister forces just staying in KL until Jon decided to be an idiot.

That was an option, until Team Good Incest gave the NK a dragon, so even if his undead can't swim, he can just fly over a random poo poo town in Essos, kill everyone and start a new undead army branch. Literally, Team Good Incest didn't just gently caress Westeros, they hosed the whole world.

EatinCake posted:Couldn't help myself and read the season 8 spoilers. Oh boy. The real spoiler leaks for the last few seasons have all come from extras, on set location people etc, we've never gotten leaked info from people getting access to the scripts early. They haven't started filming season 8 yet. What you read was some guy on 4Chan's fanfiction attempting to replicate the style of the real previous leaks because he had way too much time on his hands and wanted to trick people. A 4Channer that loves Euron and hates Dany. I will give my hats off to that guy, he did a convincing job writing it in a really elaborate way to try to trick people and for the most part its pretty consistent. He really made it seem like a script that resulted from the way the show is made now (hack frauds D&D summarizing and rushing between bullet points of a better story that GRRM told them.) There are a couple mistakes here and there that give it away, however. The most major seeming one is that Theon apparently dies in episode 2 but then shows back up later in the last episode with Yara to deliver the news that Jon et all exploded, although that could be explained away by the fact that in the latter scene the transcriber accidentally typed "Theon" instead of "Bronn." Also the writer seems to include that somehow Nymeria factors into the endgame and she travels with Arya and the Hound into King's Landing but then apparently disappears. Also it doesn't contain any details about how Nymeria reconnects with Arya at any point. I don't trust D&D at all and I think they suck, (and I believe that they would do a lot of the stupid poo poo described in the S8 writeup, like having Dany die in childbirth and then have yokels throw feces at their corpse, I totally buy that they would have that happen) but having a giant wolf somehow surreptitiously sneak into King's Landing through the front gate seems a bit much even for them. He obviously read the S7 leak spoilers beforehand and based a lot of his fake S8 script based on that before he actually watched the final two episodes of the season. The S7 leaks we got from extras/location people were accurate, but they omitted some details here and there, especially regarding scenes that happened in enclosed spaces with just a few actors. For example, there wasn't anything in the S7 leaks about the scene from last episode where Tyrion is talking to Dany about succession and mentions the way that the Night's Watch and Ironborn elect leaders - to me, I feel like that scene highly implies that the endgame includes at least some sort of prototypical attempt at an eventual democracy/republic for Westeros. In addition, the accurate S7 leaks omitted a few details about Cersei's plan and Jaime's departure from tonight's episode, they did not include the detail that Cersei pledged to send the Lannister army north to help fight. They include a scene where Jaime and Bronn meet at a tavern and Jaime is surprised to see him there showing up to help. But tonight's episode ends with Bronn and the majority of the Lannister army believing that they were legitimately going to march north and only Jaime knew about the duplicitous betrayal privately, so there's no reason for Jaime to be surprised to see Bronn there like the fake S8 spoilers seem to suggest.
