Wouldn't it make sense to be Tyrion shooting Tywin in the 9th episode?

So what's the episode 9 downer next year? Viper going down to the Mountain? Or will they throw us a bone and have Stannis show up at the wall and save everyone's rear end?

Tywin getting shot on the crapper.

Ep 10 will be Jon getting elected commander of the watch.

Yeah, Oberyn getting killed in the 6th or 7th ep, Mannis at the wall for the 8th, Wherever whores go for the 9th and Jon as Lord Commander for the 10th seems likely to me.

GRRM is reading this particular tweet right now thinking "I know what I'm going to put in the next book!"

A gorilla's dick is only 2" though.
The thing is; where do we go now? It isn't like it's going to be one episode like this again. Enjoy it while you can! Actually I'm disappointed there aren't any Youtubes of 'my girlfriend's reaction to Rains of Castamere' yet

actually I take that back: the beginning of the next episode is probably going to be Joffrey all happy. If they don't kill him off by the end of the episode, there'll be a lot of people going "gently caress this poo poo, I'm out"

There's a pretty obvious reason for this.

The next big negative shock will be when the courageous, handsome Viper loses his duel, apparently failing to avenge his sister's murder. After that it's just a slow roll downhill. Luckily Joffrey's death will be thrown in there to give everyone a brief moment of satisfaction.

There is a bunch of fan reaction videos to the RW already, though I've only seen one that was worth sitting through and only because there was some dude eating popcorn out of a washing bowl while a girl sat next to him and did the stereotypical squeamish girl in a movie thing.

There's still a few shockers to come. Nothing as big as this probably unless in the next two books Gurm finds a way to actually SHOCKINGLY kill characters off again.

When you think about it, only two Starks really die throughout the whole series: Robb and Ned. Jon's too heavily-hinted as being fantasy Jesus in Mel's chapters to make me think GRRM permanently killed him off. And even if he is, that stabbing scene isn't going to be as shocking as the Red Wedding.

drat, I was so sure Jon's alive that I forgot he even "died."

That will basically be the end for the heroic Starks, though, which could upset some people. At least until he comes back.

My upstairs neighbour was sobbing and pounding on the floor this morning. I hope it's because he was upset about Robb dying and he wasn't just having another tantrum, the stupid noisy poo poo.

Also, I think I'd start to get suspicious of what was about to happen if my SO started videotaping me while we were watching TV.

A good sobby "everyone takes a turn" stabbing could work, with Thorne or Pyke forcing Edd's hand.

Question is do they have Jon do the warg eyes thing, or keep it vague?

I just watched the episode with my friend who wasn't expecting it, and man. Yeah. So worth it. :allears:

The scene did convince him to start on the books so that he would not be so upset over the series ever again. I cannot wait for him to ADWD for DanyGRRM to take a steaming poo poo all over his hopes and expectations.

"Why are you so happy about all this?"

"Well it hurt when I read it at first too, but then I also knew that someday I would be able to watch that pain happen to a ton of other people all at once and it was totally worth it"

"But I'll never get to do that"

"Yeah. Sucks to be you."

The best part of that reaction video is the shirtless dude who falls over in grief then hears his friends laughing at him and goes "...you knew about this?!" as if they'd been keeping his girlfriend's infidelity from him instead of a plot twist on a tv show.

Saoritficis posted:

I have to agree with what some other people are saying, the plot seems so disjointed now.

I am just repeating what others have already said here, but I don't see how it's going to continue and keep being so good. The plot lines left are:

-Tyrion's "My life sucks right now" plotline. Don't get me wrong, I love Tyrion, but his plot right now isn't something to base a series on.

-The Stark kids Bran/Arya/Sansa (yea, Rickon's got nothing atm). Arya is just sorta running around aimlessly, Bran is doing something although I don't understand why it is important to the greater scheme of things at all, Sansa is... being Sansa, which is all she has been doing for 2 seasons now.

-Theon is getting tortured. That's it.

-The Ironborn are just sorta raiding and pillaging.

-Jeoffery is an rear end in a top hat and is getting married.

-Tywin is a loving boss.

-Dany is the only one who really has poo poo going on right now, but what does taking Yunkai do in relation to the game of thrones? She is on the other side of the world and her actions have no effect on the greater scheme of things in westeros. It seems like she is just travelling through the east and doing whatever pops into her head.

Isn't the entire point of the series about the Iron Throne and who rules and all that? The series has become so fractured and there are so many thing going on that have so little to do with what was the central plot at the start that now that Robb is dead and House Stark is crippled it seems like there really isn't a central plot left, it's just abunch of people doing things that really only have anything to do with each other on an distant, almost abstract level.

Unless Dany lands in Westeros in episode 2 of the next season, or the white-walkers begin an invasion in earnest, I really don't see how any of this can be brought together anymore.

Love the series, loving loved this episode, but I am seriously worried that the plot is just going to lose all cohesion and go X-Files on us.

Don't worry, I am sure in a generation there will be unaware people we can get to watch this '10s TV Series with and reap it again, and again, and again.

It doesn't really require a post-graduate degree in literature or television to see that the pieces are becoming unglued plot-wise at around this juncture in the story. Though he's discounting the Tyrells as a force a little, and Joffrey's death will leave the Throne question open-ended again.
