It fits the story and general theme and the lovely producers will find it sufficiently shocking that they will like it. Yeah, that vision from a few seasons back of a ruined, snow-filled throne room and empty Iron Throne it's assumed that's the "If the Night King wins" bad end but is actually either Cersei blowing up the Red Keep with wildfire or Dany torching it trying to take it.

General Dog posted:The last two seasons have felt like they’re on fast forward The first two episodes of season 8 had fantastic pacing. Episode 3 was a little too fast but still great. Episode 4 was a parody. They should have done whatever they needed to do to make everything in season 8 feel the same pace as the first two episodes, including season 9 if that's what needed to be done.

Fuzz posted:This. Especially after spending 2 whole episodes setting up the battle in Episode 3, and now in one episode they just throw wrenches everywhere and go nuts in under 30 minutes. The battle in episode 3 was such an anti-climax that the two episode buildup, while enjoyable, retroactively feels like a waste of time. Honestly, if they knew this was going to be the end game, then they should have just dispatched the walkers in season 6 (instead of wasting everyone’s time with the mission north of the wall), and just devoted this entire final season to the true endgame.

Friki was talking about this almost a year ago, his spoiler then was that Tyrion had drogon do something that blew up the wildfire and caused everyone to burn and Jon had him executed. That seems really far fetched with what's actually happening now but maybe he's right about the wildfire and wrong about the events surrounding it?

General Dog posted:I guess episode 5 probably ends with Jamie and Cersei’s deaths, and episode 6 deals with getting rid of Dany and the aftermath. The only thing I have about this is Cersei is treated like someone who will actually give up and surrender under any circumstance. You could have 2 scenes where both the Night King and Cersei walk with a crew to a vulnerable Dany/Bran for someone else to surprise kill them, and both would work about the same.

Honestly, they should have had 10 episodes last season with the battle of Wintefell being episode 9 and then had this season be all about living vs living. There's just nowhere enough time to resolve both plotlines in 6 episodes.

Next Week After Game Of Thrones Dumb Writer: You see.. in season 2, when Dany killed those bad guy slavers despite promising she wouldn't.. we planted the seeds that she was the mad queen all along!

Diogines posted:These seem like obviously lovely dice. There is 0 chance such a deal would be honored and no reason to think it would. He should have tried to cut a less insane deal. Like "I am going to give you detailed information on the defenses of king's landing AND not murder you, you give me some extra gold and poo poo". Much more reasonable and... well I see no reason they would not? I think Tyrion likes Bronn enough to give him a castle no matter what happens, short of Bronn actually murdering like...Sansa or someone else close to Tyrion.

I don’t think Euron is smart enough to make the connection. He probably just figured, “oh, she was so excited she sent her brother a raven to tell him the good news”

Harlock posted:Next Week After Game Of Thrones To be fair, Dany has been hinted as mad queen pretty much every season since the first. I've always been convinced she would go batshit crazy and die in the end. I also like that they're doing this, I just wish they spent another 5-7 episodes on it instead of the 3 we had left (including this one).

Am I the only one who think's its really loving weird that a billion dollar show actually lets two actors hating each other dictate who's on screen together or not? And that two supposedly professional actors aren't professional enough to be in the same scene together?

Yeah, Jon very briefly being king at the end and just disbanding the authority of the Iron Throne and declaring all the kingdoms wholly independent nations makes too much predictable sense at this point.

They need you to remember nothing but vague impressions of the previous episode to keep going. Cersei: -literally no self control since her father died -wants to kill her brother Suddenly found some self control, to not get the thing she wants more than anything. Weird!

Diogines posted:Danny has to agree. Why would she make Bronn a high lord? I'm sure Tyrion (and Jaime) can sell her some line about Bronn being a capable, tested battle commander and a reliable, trusted servant. Also like half the great families in Westeros are dead, those castles need filling and lands need leadership. As long as she doesn't recognize him from the loot train battle I don't see why there would be an issue. Mat Cauthon fucked around with this message at 05:57 on May 6, 2019 |

Its strange that dragons flying in the air can't see a massive amount of ships sneaking up on them. With huge octopuses on their sails.
