He is pretty smart in that regard (although if the spoilers for next season are real maybe not for long). What's so great about westeros anyway? Let the skeletons have it. What are they going to do, build a skeleton boat?

I think the WW's can create an ice bridge. Unless it's inconvenient to the plot when our heroes are stuck in the middle of the lake, then they need to wait.

Actually Euron should go to Mereen. He'd be awesome at capturing and selling slaves and he could watch the cool fights and sometimes fight himself.

I guess maybe if you kept reading revised versions of the spoilers that included up to date info from leaks or something but I feel like for the last two seasons now the "spoilers" have been so hit or miss there's no point in trying to parse them.

as a side note I'm kinda surprised next season is supposed to be so far away. I sorta figured the reason they did a half season this time and started towards the end of summer rather than early spring was because they were filming both seasons simultaneously and planning to have them closer together, like next feb or something.

Idk. Most of the 7 spoilers seemed more like educated guesses since everyone knew how it was probably gonna shake out. My guess is some of the spoilers for 8 are true but a lot of them feel really loving dumb even for d&d. Especially if it's 2 years away or so and hasn't started filming.

i like how jon snow continues to fall rear end backwards into success despite doing the stupidest thing he can at any given moment and loving everything up for everyone

it would be super cool if this was leading up to nice oedipus style tragic payoff but its probaly more likely that he has a sick dragon dogfight then gets elected god or something

You have to wonder if the outline was leaked on purpose to see what the fan outrage was over certain decisions. And most of them sound dumb as gently caress.

The books drop hints that there is a reason the bone crew is on the march but the show completely ignored everything in favor of long staring sessions and woke incest.

When I try to understand why the show does what it does, or why characters say what they say, I like to play a little game. I like to assume that the writers made the dumbest decision and are the worst writers ever. Every bad bit of dialogue, every unclear plot device, every rushed scene, every unused opportunity - I assume that it's from the worst possible writing.

So ask yourself, why would they end the season without a giant stepping on someone?

i don't think those spoilers are true just because seasons 6 and 7 proved they're too afraid to kill off active main characters anymore just people who are kind of lingering around who more or less didn't have any plot left

according to the spoilers they would pretty much kill off everybody in the last episode, which would be appropriately cowardly.

:smaug: lol look at this poster who doesnt speak high valyrian...

if you'll recall from that scene about the prince that was promised where everyone was like "whoaaaa how can dany be the prince??? unless she has a dick..." and someone goes well ACTUALLY its a valyrian phrase and in valyrian it's gender neutral but defaults to male in translation

WELL GUESS WHAT BUDDY!!! that prophecy that cersei got was ALSO given in valyrian!!! check the wiki!!!!! so "little brither" is ACTUALLY "little sibling" aka boy OR girl. it'll be the same thing as the prince scene. she'll eat the poison and arya will step out and cersei will be surprised until she remembers her grammar lessons...

Why don't you just read the last couple pages? Is that too hard for you?

They should have killed Grey Worm this year. He did nothing and really has no point to the plot. At least someone would have died.

Deaths this year:

Littledick
Thoros
Viserion lol
Thorn Queen
Dickon hahaha (does that even count?)
rear end in a top hat dad

I'm scraping bottom of the barrel to come up with deaths.

At least there were some deaths but c'mon.

Writers need some courage. Have Arya kill Sansa and push cripple boy out a window and take over Winterfell. Have Cersei go nuts and have Mtn kill Jamie.

This season sucked. This show sucks. Gurm sucks. This thread sucks. I suck. You suck. Suck suck suck. gently caress you.

Autistic Bran rules. When they were doing the screenshot of talking about Jon's lineage and and Bran was doing the travel through time montage, where Bran is standing there watching the events unfold. When the show did the final montage cut to Dany and Jon boning I was really hoping that Bran would be standing there watching lol
