If we see animated skeletons (and I think that one zombie in season 1 had severed limbs move separately from body), just how destroyed do the bodies have to be to not get animated?

Last episode would've been amazing if Gendry had slammed that axe down on the log and it just shattered into a thousand pieces.

I got bored today and started watching Season 3 of The Last Kingdom. Silliness of the costumes and accents aside, it feels much more like early Game of Thrones where they have a ton of source material to work with and the episodes move incredibly fast without feeling rushed. The first episode of the season even managed to fit in a proper shield wall battle that did a really good job of hiding the budget and didn't have anything as ridiculous as a twelve foot high corpse wall.

Give it a watch.

I wonder if someone killed Bran and left his body out on a stick, would the NightKing go, oh, poo poo, okay now we cool, and leave back north?

Like when he claims he is the memory of humanity, why doesn't Tormund just yell "wuat does that even mean" and drag him outside the city gates as an offering to the NK

Tyrion dying and Danny dying covered in poo poo are rumors that will never come true. Ours is a future that will behold Jon and Dany leading Westeros to a new golden age, Sansa marrying Theon whose penis has grown back due to Winter Magicks, and Bran sitting in a tree dreaming of spring.

It is known.

Promise peace under favorable conditions but only once Dany ascends to throne. Then throw more soldiers and perhaps a few elephants into the meat grinder anyways.

Rickon, this is for you because you couldn't loving dodge!

Dude it wasn't Rickon's fault, the showrunners' love of Ramsay is well-documented. Rickon ran for a good 90 seconds, so he was probably several hundred meters away. The world record for archery distance is about 250 m, and that's with modern bows. If you're going up against a superhuman it doesn't matter if you dodge or not.

wouldn't a guy whose balls were cut off lose all his testosterone and therefore not be very aggressive or strong or an altogether good warrior?

I believe this is mentioned in the book, as they are castrated when young they never go properly through puberty, it's also mentioned that they become fat pretty quickly and that they can't really match other trained warriors in 1-on-1 combat.

Also, I don't think there's any instance in history of eunuchs being used as soldiers. And even the whole slave soldier thing they do is kind of something that didn't really happened, there were historical slave soldiers, but it's kind of more accurate to say they were recrutied from slaves or through slavery. Upon becoming soldiers, their status was typically very different from that of slaves or even normal subjects in the state in question, in fact they were typically part of the military and administrative elite and were at or near the top in society.

The whole process of making Unsullied and how needlessly edgy and cruel it is (killing a puppy) is just completely ludicrous, can't remember if it's elaborated in the show, but in the books it is, and it's just so out there that it becomes silly.

For ep 3:

Winterfel gets attacked in three waves. The first is just a bunch of wights and walkers, which gets beaten back eventually. Then Cersei’s mercenary force shows up and things get dire, but they end up getting flanked by the second wave of undead, led by the Night King himself. Rhaegal gets a ballista bolt while Jon is riding it, but they both survive. Tons of nameless soldiers die and the survivors end up fleeing Winterfel. Notable deaths will include Dolorous Edd, Gendry, Jorah Mormont, a bunch of northsmen whose names I already forgot, and the sweet angel-voiced Beric Dondarrion, which cuts the list of characters worth rooting for down to just Davos. Unless you’re rooting for Cersei, Euron or the Night King, all of whom I can respect.

If I recall correctly, in the show they describe the process as not them killing a puppy, but as going to a slave market and killing a child while their mother is watching. And then paying a piece of silver. Not to the mother but to the mother’s owner. SO HARDCORE.
