So...Cersei didn't have a miscarriage right? Was that leak from an actual script page and it was removed from this episode (so we can expect it to come out in Season 8)? or was it just speculation?

It was a leak from Friki so probably a last minute cut. Why? Maybe HBO didn't want to have it in there because of potential controversy overshadowing the talking points of season 7. Maybe the writers decided Cersei and Dany being pregnant at the same time would provide much needed poetry as it rhymes.

VanillaGorilla posted:People probably shouldn't take those "leaked" s8 scripts too seriously - there are some pretty major internal inconsistencies in them. For example, they have Howland Reid both dying in ep. 3 and also having scenes with Jon in ep. 4 (non-flashback). It's pretty clearly someone's fan fiction produced after reading the S7 spoilers. you are the 5678th person to bring that up and I'm the the 5678th person to mention that the leaked S7 plot outlines contained similar inconsistencies

The Theon scene was legitimately bizzarre. I still don't really know what they were going for. Every single beat was muddled and odd and bad. But then I think everyone got distracted by an even more confusing frowning Tyrion standing outside the room for the entire time.

It was to show that what he thought were his weaknesses were actually his greatest strength. I think I speak for all men when I say we live our lives in fear of being kicked in the balls and that fear over shadows almost all of the decisions we make. When Theon jumped off that boat earlier this season a lot of people gave him poo poo and called him a coward but I understood where he was coming from. That old fear of being kicked in the balls held him back. It wasn't until someone actually kicked him square where his nuts should be that it finally dawned on him that he was free now, he didn't have to be afraid of someone lining up a perfect knee to the gonads and dropping him like a sack of potatoes. It was actually a really moving scene for me personally.

To be fair it took Robert a month with his big gently caress off carriages and slow rear end retinue. Reminder that Catelyn arrived in KL's before Ned when she rode with Rodrick to White Harbor and took a ship from there so two weeks for a 100% mounted force seems fair enough.

Of course the Dothraki are only the poor man's lovely Mongols....

Funky See Funky Do posted:So why the didn't either of them say something earlier? Everything that happened in Winterfell this season was done entirely to set up this dumb fake out scene whether it made any sense or not. They have no idea what to do with any of these characters is the simplest answer. D&D just want to get to the 'rocks fall everyone dies' ending at this point.

All the players are on the board so to speak. Whether or not Howland Reed will play some role in the books is irrelevant, in the show Sam has figured out Jon's true parentage and the Citadel can back it up. Howland Reed is a redundancy that they are simply not going to bother with. Fan fiction.

They're absolutely not above bringing in some rando characters for an episode or two if it gives the a cheap and easy way to do a scene they want to do.

Jon demonstrated fire and dargonglass but conveniently left out valyrian steel. If anyone has a lot of valyrian steel stuff around its probably the Lannisters, cmon Jon.

They're absolutely not above bringing in some rando characters for an episode or two if it gives the a cheap and easy way to do a scene they want to do. Sam's family was introduced in season 6 so we could see what a terrible rear end in a top hat his dad was. The Tarlys were referred to as a major house and important to the Lannister's war efforts. Howland Reed is a character only book readers could name, father of the girl who stuck with Bran for five seasons only to dip out this season to, quoting the leaked episode outline here, "walk out of the room and the story." With Sam learning the truth about Jon via the Citadel and Broogle, there is pretty much zero reason for them to introduce a major character (and explain to the show audience why exactly he's so important) this late in the game.

Valyrian steel kills the white walkers, not the wights, but they didn't really get brought up at all for no apparent reason. "Well, you brought proof of the dead walking, but we have yet to see one of these, white walkers you speak of." Jon - "she's raht, we've gaht to assemble the team ahgain and capture a waht wahlker or they won't believe the threat is real."

WampaLord posted:NO To be fair, his placement in the scene is a really muddled. We get the shot where he yells at everyone to run, followed by a snippet of him running along the wall while it's coming apart behind him. He turns around in that latter shot, and you see the collapse stop which heavily implies he's safe on the still intact western edge, but then it cuts back to more footage of Viserion tearing poo poo apart. There should be a reaction shot where he and Beric watch the army of the dead march through the breach, but I guess the show runners prefer an obviously false cliffhanger over narrative coherence.

There are very few Valyrian steel weapons in the world, and the Lannisters didn't have any until Tywin melted down Ned's sword. It's still an oversight not to mention them, but I think there are a total of, like... five Valyrian weapons in the show? Jon, Jaime, Brienne, and Sam's swords along with Arya's dagger. I think that's it. Vintersorg posted:It's actually quite clear. I would have said the same, but I've seen a bunch of people speculating on his death. I guess you could just call them idiots, but I do think the scene could be cut together better.

Yeah it's weird they only talk about the dead. Like it's terrifying, but they're stupid and can't swim. I guess everyone just knows the tales of the white walkers and this implies all of that? They kind of eluded to that.

Shame the Wall coming down had no impact because all the characters decided a few episodes ago that the ultimate battle would take place in Winterfell - a keep easily detoured around OR starved out by a zombie army. Seriously, why were the characters not talking about getting the armies all to the Wall and making a big deal that it was obviously their best defense and position? Such a small thing that would've vastly improved the plot point.

I'm confused why did Danny and John need Cersei's help in the first place? I thought they massacred most of the Lannister army like, 3 episodes ago which is why Cersei is desperate to hire the Golden Company? Seems like with the magic teleportationthat Danny's army has, she could easy take Kings Landing and finish the war then and there before heading up north. This also would have negated the Night King's ice dragon, as his other plan was to apparently to march to the wall and..stare at it?

I don't recall anything about them planning to have the battle at Winterfell. It's their rally point, and it makes sense to mass their armies there before moving on to the wall as it's the most well supplied position that far north.

They weren't angling to get help, just a truce so they could focus on the north without worrying she would re-marshal and march a fresh army right up their rear end in a top hat while they're busy dealing with the dead.
