lmao it's bound to happen on any show going this long. A funny thing from the director commentary on Spaceballs was that they knew eventually a coffee cup would end up in the background, so they had everyone drinking from styrofoam cups so it wouldn't be a problem.

This was my initial reaction as well, all Kingslayer-revival style, but the producers specifically explained that his reasoning was loyalty and love and realization that he's actually also a bad person and whatnot.

They say the following:

"When he hears what Cersei has done, that's the turning point for him. At that point Jamie really has to take a long and uncomfortable look at who he really is. As much as Jamie cares for Brienne and admires and loves her, he almost has an addiction to Cersei that he just can't break. So even if he's given a chance at happiness and some kind of a different life for himself, he can't pick it. He makes the choice to go back to Cersei."

I mean, there's still a chance they'll just renege on that or have that just be the initial motivation for him to go back (which is still pretty dumb imo) before making him have YET ANOTHER come to god moment and realize for YET ANOTHER time that welp, Cersei is actually pretty bad and he is forced to turn Kingslayer again because destiny and redemption or whatever, but Jesus Christ.

Arya is going to attempt an assassination on Cersei. The Mountain will kill her. The Hound will then have more motivation to ice his brother.

Zombie Clegane has been shown to be many things but light on his feet he is not. If they write him teleporting to grab Arya from the shadows I'm gonna feel pretty disappointed.

Maybe not the right thread for it but that Chernobyl show is pretty terrifying, particularly if you've done any reading about the incident. Managed to convey how completely hosed most of the people there are.

I'm so stoked for watching the first episode tonight.

I never really had a huge historic interest in Chernobyl, outside of remembering that my family wouldn't eat mushrooms or a whole bunch of produce types for like 7 years, but once I started playing Stalker - Shadow of Chernobyl, and the whole science-fiction/mystery element behind it, I suddenly gained a shitton of interest in the incident and gobbled up a ton of books and every documentary I could get my hands on.

Was hyped when I watched the trailer, and I'm really curious to see if they manage to capture the creeping dread that surrounded basically every step of the way. I didn't read up on the series itself to keep more to the element of surprise, but I hope they cover the actions and fate of the biorobots/liquidators.

The atmosphere reminds me quite a bit of "The Terror" so yeah I think they nailed the creeping sense of dread and doom that responding to a meltdown of that magnitude would likely cause.

My prediction:

Jamie is going to die heroically saving somebody’s rear end (probably Sansa). Arya is going to take his face, get close to and kill Cersei, then take the throne. (I’m not like a huge GoT nerd so I don’t know the conditions of taking someone’s face. Do you have to actually be the one to kill them or can they just be dead by some other means?) This will cause turmoil between Dany and Jon. Final showdown will be Dany and Arya.

This is way better than whatever the real ending is.

It’s like the North and South American continents for Westeros, maybe with a small body of water between North/South...and then Europe all the way across the Atlantic right

It's basically England and the Iberian Peninsula.

Dead Reckoning posted:

What exactly did Qyburn say that wasn't true? I don't want to restart medieval tactics chat, but equal numbers doesn't seem that great when one side has a position they've clearly been fortifying for a while, giant ballistae, fresh troops, and control of the sea.

If a city isn't well supplied (which it sounds like King's Landing isn't) siege is very effective. Fortify all you want, when tens of thousands of people inside get hungry, you have a whole new army to fight on YOUR side of the wall.

Yo sup my name is Dany and I can’t quite figure out whether the one thing that I have that no one else does that reigns fire and death on everything is better used as a strategic weapon to be selectively employed as so to maximize its survivability and effectiveness against the enemy or as a reconnaissance asset that I myself will personally use. On a completely unrelated note, I have no idea why I’ve lost 2/3 of these assets in recent weeks.

Hey remember the fact that the Starks are bonded to their direwolves?

Remember when the show had way better writing, and a Stark losing their direwolve meant bad things for that Stark? Like, Sansa lost Lady, and was later Joffrey's prisoner for 2 and a half seasons. Nymeria left Arya (because Arya shooed her away after Nymeria attacked Joffrey, and Arya knew her pup would be killed if she stayed), and she was later caught by the Mountain and held prisoner at Harrenhal. Rob was separated from Grey Wind (he was locked in the kennel), and both died separately. Summer died defending Bran in the Three Eyed Raven's cave, and things didnt go so well for Bran after that until he got to Winterfell. Shaggy Dog was killed by the Bolton men, and Rickon was killed shortly after.

If they're continuing with the theme, Jon's gonna die. If they're not, then holy loving poo poo what a dumb loving move.

Respect Ghost: How ‘Game of Thrones’ Botched Jon’s Relationship With His Direwolf

quote:

Ghost has been with Jon through thick and thin—from warning Jon that a reanimated member of the Night’s Watch was trying to murder Lord Commander Mormont in the first season, all the way to fighting against the army of the dead last week. (A fight, it seems, which tore the poor fella’s right ear off.) I can understand why Jon would want to leave Ghost in the North, and I appreciate that it should ensure his canine companion’s safety moving forward. But the bizarre indifference to leaving Ghost—for possibly the last time, depending on what happens in the South—was an inexcusable narrative choice. David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have messed up the import of the Jon-Ghost dynamic (among many other things).

The only way this story can end is the worst possible way for every character people are attached to. I guarantee that Daenerys is going to lose her marbles sooner rather than later, seeing as how all of her longest, most trusted advisors are dropping like flies, along with her dragons. I'm thinking she's going to go "if I can't have the iron throne nobody can" and gently caress everyone up before getting stabbed in the back by Tyrion.
