Ciprian Maricon posted:I can't wait to see how this show continues to gently caress up the best character (Jaime) He'll spend all season passively watching Cersei gently caress things up, and then he'll get owned by Grey Worm or something. He might die when he gets owned too because it sure looks like his book plot is headed toward an ending with Lady Stoneheart, therefore extraneous to the show, and they'll probably want to kill one of the big characters this season to make things more extreme. Then again, I don't remember him dying in the spoilers. PostNouveau fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Jul 17, 2017 |

The intro map is a lot harder to follow as they added locations. Early on it was like King's Landing -> north to Winterfell -> north to the Wall, easy enough. But now it like spins from the Wall to look southeast toward Braavos and then runs west to Meereen and the back to north to hit Dorne or something. It's probably pretty hard to make sense of if you've only watched the show.

Dragonstone can't supply itself. It sucks except it's a cool castle. That's why Stannis was pissed that Robert gave Renly Storm's End and stuck him on Dragonstone.

I hope Howland Reed shows up in the show. What the gently caress is going on with him is one of the book mysteries I'm most interested in, and lord knows GRRM is never going to write any more loving books, so maybe the show can give an idea.

They're trying to feint toward Littlefinger talking her into going against Jon's orders once Jon leaves for the North and she's in charge. But instead, she's going to have Littlefinger killed. Jeb! Repetition posted:Did Arya recognize any of those soldier boys? She seemed to be looking at the blackberry wine one a lot. She was into him.

Nah I think that other poster was right that their conversation about being homesick will spur her to go back to Winterfell. She won't kill them unless there's a scene where they realize she's a northerner and hold it against her.

Sydin posted:The reason I think she's going to murder them is because - as a goon mentioned several pages back - her story is very nicely paralleled with the Hound's right now. Clegane and Arya were accepted into that dude's house way back in season four and given hospitality, which Clegane then abused by robbing them and leaving them for dead, which at the time Arya heavily criticized him for. Meanwhile this episode she just murdered the entire Frey family and castigated them for violating the law of hospitality, and has now been accepted fireside and offered food/drink by the Lannister soldiers. Clegane showing remorse for his actions - to the point that he went out at night during a blizzard to bury the bodies and offer a prayer - shows how much his character has grown. Conversely if Arya kills these guys - and thus breaks breaks those same laws of hospitality she holds so sacred - it shows how far she's falling in her quest for revenge. How's killing some random mooks part of her quest for revenge though?

Sydin posted:They're Lannister soldiers. I admit it's tenuous, but the show went out of its way to let us know via their outfits that she ran into Lannister men, not just some random bandits or northerners or something. Presumably it's significant. I think they'd have to impede her from going after revenge for all that to hold. It doesn't seem likely because they didn't show any indication they wanted to stop her from going to King's Landing. I don't think we'll see those dudes again.

Yeah it'll probably end predictably with like Jon Snow riding a dragon that's breathing fire at the Night King while he shoots an ice ray back and it's a Harry Potter wand fight. But it could be a lot worse. Maybe I've watched too many Preston Jacobs videos, but there do seem to be a lot of hints at circumstances being manipulated by the various gods. It would be loving terrible if there's some moment where Jon meets the Red God and gets a big exposition dump about how he and Dany and everyone else are just pawns.  I'm just fine with a big stupid obvious battle between good and evil.

emanresu tnuocca posted:Come on the ending will all be about Jon\Dany teaching the night's king to be human again or some poo poo like that, GRRM is a hippie and the entire conflict is set up so that every side has legitimate and just grievances. The show hasn't really had the hints about the zombies having a legit grievance, and the show is the only ending we're getting. Note too, that is ALSO a Matrix ending that everyone hated where Neo sacrifices himself to make peace with the machines, who had legit reasons for doing what they did.

Yeah there's no way this show doesn't get latched on to by the neo-Confederates. quote:The story takes place during what’s called the Third American Civil War and follows a group of characters on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line, now a demilitarized zone. The groups the characters belong to are vast and include freedom fighters, slave hunters, politicians, abolitionists, journalists and others. One specific group are the executives of a slave-holding conglomerate and the families they control. Not seeing slaves mentioned as any of the characters either.
