GoGoGadgetChris posted:My prediction is we're never seeing the Iron Islands or Girl Theon ever again I was trying to figure out how the hell they're supposed to still cover Wintefell and King's Landing when the white walkers are already at the gates. Someone mentioned they think it'll go like: Ep 3: Winterfell fight. Humans lose, half the cast dies and the rest escape Ep 4: Here we are, running away. Maybe we run away to the islands. Ep 5: SOmething happens in King's Landing? Maybe white walkers again?? So there's some room in there ALSO also - there has been a popular fan theory for years that the main villian progression was gonna go Joffrey, Ramsay, Euron (Which it has in the books, and Euron is way more hosed up than Ramsay even) and they kept doing press before Euron came out that he would be worse than Ramsay and that all ended up being a whole lot of nothing. In the books, Euron is obsessed with black magic, and claims to have tools to bring down the wall and enslave dragons. There is a pretty popular fan theory that he will have something to do with the white walkers, possibly to the point of joining them or wanting to become their leader There is nothing suggesting any of this in the show and it would come out of fuckign nowhere if that's where they're going

In what sense did they mean “worse” though? Because I certainly do not enjoy him nearly as much as I enjoyed Ramsay.

Euron in the books is a pretty drat scary and mysterious character and the show has none of it. Book Euron might be the scariest motherfucker in the whole series.

All the marquee show villains (Joffrey, Ramsay, Euron) have been campy in their own endearing ways, like they’re on a different show than everyone else and that show is the Adam West batman show.

I really hate how they did Euron in this show. I wasn't even a huge fan of the character or Iron Islands stuff in the book but they could have had some fun with the character for the show. He was this maniacal ambitious pirate who had been everywhere. And the showrunners were like "Ok make him a tubby dork".

Ramsay was a dogshit character in the show and gave us years of torture porn and 20 good men. I'm 100% okay with them not attempting to go that direction again.

I liked the way Ramsay said "nock". Kinda been side-eying a friend of mine since she told me she had a huge crush on him, though.

I was randomly watching "fights on the Game of Thrones TV series" YT video and I got incredibly depressed on how they didn't include Sword of the Morning Arthur Dayne but instead got medieval Darth Maul to play his part.

If you're one of those guards assigned to feed her and change the torches by Cersei you're probably not gonna gently caress that up. I guess she could have killed herself by like, smashing her skull against the wall or something? Like you said though, it doesn't matter. Nobody seemed to care in the show even when the big Daenerys Alliance was a thing, now that it's kinda not she has even less of a look in.

So from what I can tell, Game of Thrones is actually about Zaphod42 and GoGoGadgetChris wrestling with each other, calling each other names, because they don't want to just admit that they want to give each other maximum smooches

He just comes off as Theon and Yara's wildly inappropriate uncle; talking openly about his sexual exploits, dressing wrong for his age, still going clubbing in his forties, constantly trying to score some molly from anyone he thinks might have some. That scene where he approached Cersei in her throne room last season, I asked my friend 'Is this guy in his pajamas right now?' Show Euron is living the goddamn dream.

I'm more disappointed we never got Victarion and his cyborg arm. Was hyped for more Greyjoy stuff from the books that we never ended up getting.

There's still plenty of time for Euron to get a cyborg arm from Qyburn, grandstand like its a real game changer, and then immediately get one-shotted by Yara. They could knock that out in like, five minutes.

I don't know why people get weird about Arya having sex. She is such a different character after she served the Frey pie I don't see her the same character in the show. She is like the robocop version of kid Arya.

Someone mentioned they think it'll go like: Seems along the right lines to me. My baseless predictions: Ep 3 - Winterfell fight, humans loses and a bunch of main characters die, survivors escape to iron islands Ep 4 - Northerners make some last ditch plan to save the day, probably by assassinating the big bad undead mage guy with some magic macguffin. Other random characters turn up to help, red lady etc? Walkers march south, some scenes with people doing pointless poo poo in kings landing and not realising doom is coming. What's his face turns up with the crossbow and decides not to kill Tyrion and Jamie. Ep 5 - Walkers reach kings landing, big old fight with that army, loads of people die, Cersei probably survives Ep 6 - Northerners march south to take on the dead army. Big fight, dragons fight each other, blah blah, everyone gets an improbably meaningful battlefield encounter. They kill the bad dude and defeat the undead. Cersei reappears just in time to try to betray them. Jamie probably kills her. Yayyyy the world is saved

I dont expect the iron islands to be relevant, Yara's suggestion was just to make it clear Theon was welcome back there and she wasnt just hoping to get rid of him. If we go anywhere it's King's Landing, a place viewers know quite well and where everyone would like the show to end for a variety of reasons (how and why? idk. hope it's wacky).

Two theories I have: -The dragonglass spear has been chekhov's gunned too much for it not to kill someone important and since the only notable characters in the undead army are the NK and the dragon my bet is on Arya killing the NK. It is also possible the dragon glass is a red herring and the spear is used to kill somebody else. If this were the case I think the hound will die in the battle and ask Arya to kill the mountain as his dying wish, in which case the spear is still relevant but not in the way you expected. This has the bonus of closing both their arcs neatly. -From a narrative standpoint I think Jamie's arc can only end in a confrontation with Cersei where he chooses to become the king(queen)killer again despite knowing the burden he will have to carry because of it.

I mean the night king is allegedly after the memories of humanity And that was the citadel's stated reason for existence So it would fit logically really.

Alchenar posted:At the pace they've set themselves the entire 6 episodes have to be set at Winterfell otherwise it's going to be really weird. All the characters are now gathered, they've spent 1/3 of their runtime doing setup for the climax at Winterfell, it's all got to happen at Winterfell. Trying to rush close off everything else in the last two episodes by having the cast teleport around won't work. Never stopped them before
