ol qwerty bastard posted:When you think about how Bran can see the future and how this makes him potentially an unimaginably valuable military asset, it's kind of hilarious they just let him sit outside in his wheelchair waiting to say hi to a guy who tried to kill him the last time they met. Like goddamn at least have some guards around him. Well, it doesn't look like Winterfell is ADA compliant.

During the last battle, we see the screen split three ways as Varys, Grey Worm, and Theon all get kicked in the crotch simultaneously. They each look up, smirk, and strike back.

Remember when Dondric's priest was killed by a zombie bear after being in the show for four seasons and not doing anything besides showing off his power?

I am hoping that they actually show consequences for people fighting over the stupid throne rather than preparing for winter, it doesn’t seem like there’s really time to do that well. Even in this episode, Sansa brought up the really pertinent question of how everyone’s going to eat and then they just shrugged it off like, eh doesn’t really matter. I would honestly kind of love if Yara is the Queen of Westeros by default in the end, and they become a pirate nation since all that’s left is a war-torn wasteland. And all Targaryens are finally dead forever so we no longer have to deal with all their bullshit.

The show is just going through the motions to set up conflict and depth but don't think about it for even a second.

One, maybe in the books but the show is dumb and will end with happy ever after. Two, even if everybody in westeros gets totally smoked by others / white walkers, humanity will be FINE. They haven't really touched on it much but there's tons more land to the east, Westeros is basically just Europe. You can blow up all of Europe and Humanity would not go extinct. Most people don't give a poo poo. Heck, its implied that the long winter didn't even really affect the people living out East. They don't give a gently caress about any of this. Although that kinda raises the question of why the white walkers haven't built boats yet? Or just freeze the sea and walk on it. You could easily go around the wall if you could... ah whatever.

Mike N Eich posted:This is 100% right. The show is really good at fleshing out characters that are dull and one note in the books (Davos is way funnier in the show for example, Cersei has more dimensions, Etc) but for some reason the only guy the books *try* to make funny, Dolorous Edd, is anti-funny in the show. It’s weird. Cersei is so incredibly dumbed down for the show. All the Lannisters are.

Yeah Beric is only going away if a. he dies or b. he gives his 'fire' to bring someone else back. I'm assuming option a will happen soon.

I didnt think it was so much shrugged off as just ignored because theres not much they can do. Foreshadowing for the the fact that they are well and truly hosed. I am not sure how bad things will really get but I bet Cersei specifically gets killed by white walkers. the dramatic irony is there since season 1 on that one.

Even if that part didn’t go exactly right, they may have no interest in anything other than killing humans on Westeros. They could be the cause of the weird seasons there and the reason why everywhere else has regular seasons.

Actually now I'm hoping that the Night King just besieges Winterfell and waits out their food supplies. Not like it would take long and it's not like the White Walkers are in a hurry. He might even be able to ice javelin another dragon or two.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:I think they’re conflating the old nan stories with what’s actually presented in the books. The show doesn’t feature too many of the stories because old Nan’s actress died before season 2 started filming. I think it's mostly a gently caress you to the children of the forest, a perversion of their holy symbols. They just don't care that they're all dead and the northerners don't really know what they mean though.

The speculation on The Others having their own society/etc in the books is also partially based on GRRM deadass saying we'll be seeing further beyond the wall than ever before, and that they are more than they seem in Winds. A lot of people think this may mean a POV chapter from one of The Others or something similar. Except Winds ain't coming out.

Everyone talking about happy endings and bad endings, no one considers that it might resolve nothing and just end in the middle because people love a mystery and anything that builds discussion. Or a cliffhanger to be resolved in a movie sequel.

As much as I enjoy this stupid rear end show I still think it’s at its funniest when it tries to sell Sansa as some kind of mastermind genius. I about died when Arya declared her the “smartest person she knows.” The only character who consistently makes worse decisions than her is Theon, Tyrion is catching up quickly though.

VagueRant posted:Everyone talking about happy endings and bad endings, no one considers that it might resolve nothing and just end in the middle because people love a mystery and anything that builds discussion. My bet for an ending is a brokered peace deal. A huge part of Game of Thrones is subverting fantasy tropes and there is no bigger fantasy trope than the cataclysmic battle between Good and Evil with The Good Guys triumphant. If anything I would guess it is a reestablishment of the status quo. The wall rebuilt and a DMZ between humans and Others.

The show added that prophecy to the House of the Undying scene where the throne is covered in ash and implied KL is decimated so I always assumed it would end w/ no throne for anyone to sit on anyway. Though leaks imply that may be a turn of events that happens for another reason if at all so Who loving knows if D&D even remembers adding that scene lmao
