Yeah, but nerds were piecing the words together using the bits of font still visible. They had most of it done when I stopped checking, I wondered if they had finished.

regulargonzalez posted:This was interesting and kind of surprising and informative to me. I had never really thought about "horse people" being a thing and what that culture might be like but it shouldn't really be surprising. I'm a "watch person" and that's also definitely a thing that people get super into. And if there was a scene in a show that featured 60 watches from the likes of Phillip Dufour, Laurent Ferrier, Vianny Halter, etc it'd be a big stupid event in the watch community too. To be even nerdier: The horses riding up steps was also huge, it looks cool on screen to the layman but what made it very very special is that it was actors doing it. People spend years working with a horse to form a partnership just to be able to do jumps - it's about leading the horse so it gets the angle and landing right but also allowing the horse to make it's own mind up. A horse that's not comfortable with a rider or a jump will have it's ears back and toss it's head and be tense - this is when they refuse and the rider goes head first over the horses head. GOT put actors, without helmets on strange horses, and had the horse so well trained that they happily did arguably the most difficult stunt there is with the rider as a passenger. I would wonder if nikolaj coster-waldau knew how insanely dangerous that was, Charles Dance probably did though.

I wouldn't be too bummed out if GRRM died and leaves behind only a complete ending for his books. Then everybody else has to do the mental gymnastics to figure out how the books get there.

I don't even know how this show will end, but I think if the bad guys win / Jon and Danarys die, HBO's prequels or movies or whatever the gently caress will get a worse reception than Confederate. GOT nerds will cyber bully HBO into the ground. I do hope a lot of the fake leaks are true.

Jeb! Repetition posted:If they do die it won't happen like it does in the fake leaks. It'll be at the end, more dignified, and after they have a kid together. In these ""fake"" leaks they die after having a kid together with Dany dying in childbirth which is just about the most gurrmy thing to have ever gurrmed and is also totally dignified, Jon dies after finally restoring peace to the realm and being a total badass hero. Like, I'm totally ok with you guys being in complete denial about these leaks (JAPE! JAPE!!!) but if you didn't read them why bother deconstructing the plot elements? I can assure you that many of the goon summaries itt have really been inaccurate. Dany doesn't die between seasons, the poo poo pelting scene only occurs after Dany has already received a touching send off, etc.

Hey at least it will be justified unlike that time I was banned by Aatrek for saying that Jaime Lannister is the smoke monster in the non-spoiler GoT thread, and that was before I even read the books.

What exactly are you toxxing on because there's a lot of bullet points in the leaks and no way every single one is accurate even if they mostly are.

Basically that the leaks are the genuine plot outlines or drafts thereof. I believe whether that's true or false will become very apparent once we get leaks from the filming and\or from reliable sources like FrikiDoctor.

Jon will die (probably stupidly) but Daenerys will survive and sit on the Iron Throne. The last shot of the show will hint that she's pregnant with Podrick's child. Turns out his cock was actually magic.

As we all know, the death of a leader makes that cause instantly vanish. By show logic if they'd just stabbed Cersei when they had their big meeting everything would have been sorted and fine and nobody would have minded.

They let non-Lena Headey walk naked through a city full of people throwing poop at her. They stabbed Robb's unborn fetus in it's face, multiple times. They hanged flayed people(or props) around a castle.
