PostNouveau posted:I'm gonna assume in the books it'll be something like Mel hears that Stannis has been defeated and killed on the same day Jon dies, she finally clicks with her fire visions where she can only see snow, she burns Shireen to bring him back. It will never stop being weird that people try to defend Stannis. He's a bigger oval office in the books than he is in the show. He's definitely burning Shireen.

He's so far away from Shireen about to go into the battle that he dies in in the show. I don't think it's possible for him to burn Shireen.

Also he is a giant rear end in a top hat and empty gesture as it may be "if i die you fucks better put my girl on the throne" is good dad by GoT standards.

quote:Arya arrives in King's landing with the Hound but then they go their seperate ways. She gets caught up on all the destruction of the city and ends up helping a group of people trying to survive. Some debris falls on her and it looks like she's dead but the very last shot of the episode is her waking up and getting on a horse and getting leaving LOLOLOLOL what Like I know these leaks, if real, are just descriptions of random screen caps but on paper they sound like the writers were actually like “what’s the most anticlimactic way we could wrap up every plot line? Let’s go with that!”

Saving civilians is the lame job they give the B-team of superheroes. Great job, Falconer! Thank goodness you were here to carry those puppies away from the battle while Captain America beat the poo poo out of Dr. Doom. This is also the job they give to the hero's girlfriend in action movies.

Lowly posted:Do we even know about Bloodraven in the show? I don't remember him at all. I did read the books but I haven't read them since 8 years ago, so I don't remember a lot of details. Even the stupidest plot points in the show have at least been based around established characters and things in their history and not just "oh you see there was this guy we didn't tell you about ... and it's been him all along!" In the books, Bloodraven/Three-Eyed Raven has a big red birthmark on their face in the shape of a raven (hence the nickname). In the show, Max Von Sydow has no birthmark, but that's more likely because he was like "I'll read this nonsense, but I'm not wearing any stupid makeup." They didn't even both trying to match Sydow's look to the previous season's actor.

Yeah the thing about Shireen burning was less that it happened and more how it happened. It basically was a sign that it’s okay Stannis died because he’s a bad guy now

Oh I don’t think the show will pull a “bran is bloodraven and he’s been behind the scenes all along”, I think that’s where the books are going and the show is going to incredibly neuter it to get to “well a literal omniscient god is a just ruler right?”

My bad, I thought you were asking how is Stannis a oval office. No idea how or why he'll burn Shireen in the books tho. I doubt he'll do it, Mel will probably do it behind his back or after he's dead more likely.

Cersei dieing to debris is gonna be great because in episode 6 we'll get a post credit scene where Qyburn excavates Cersei and Jaime's corpse, sew them together and reanimates them "That which was once one shall be one again.

I'm sure they're going to pull another "Sansa and Arya had a genius plot all along" like they did with Littlefinger, which is why they didn't show us their reaction to Jon's lineage and cut straight to Arya peacing out, but it's so loving sloppy and amateurish to make a big twist based on off screen actions with absolutely nothing to lead the audience to believing it's the logical conclusion. But they're absolutely doing it. Look at how Sansa and Arya argued last season all to be plotting off screen and how Sansa acted to Dany this season. That or the writers are just making her character extremely stupid and petty for no reason at all which is equally likely honestly. Fuuuuuuuuuuck show Sansa, Sophie Turner deserved so much better. They all did. Except Euron, gently caress that guy.

I like the direction it's going, a lot of the major beats are what I expect out of the books. The quality of the show is just poo poo now, and that's okay. I'm at peace with it being high budget action fantasy schlock now and I look forward to the battle on Sunday  At least we'll be able to see what's going on 'cause King's Landing is a sunny place despite the fact it should be snowing there r/n. Though I still expect the battle to happen at night lmao

His facial expression when Dany charges Drogon towards the ships is either good acting or genuine madness growing in his mind.
