The show writers really do need to turn the rest of GoT in to a buddy-cop series. Arya/The Hound, Bronn/Tyrion, Brienne/Podrick and Jon/The Night King just getting in to a series of wacky adventures.

Let's be fair here - Brienne is one of the very best fighters around. I mean poo poo, she beat both The Hound and Jaime in single combat. The fact that Arya is able to fight her to a draw is impressive.

skasion posted:I posted about this earlier. I think it's supposed to imply together with a couple other bits that Sansa is disturbed by Arya being as obviously traumatized and violent as she is. Despite what she's been through, Sansa is still very much a traditional Westerosi lady and Arya's unladylike behavior has been a point of conflict between them since childhood. She can just about comprehend a freakish character like Brienne bucking gender conventions so hard, but for her own sister to be a stone cold bravo who keeps a list of people she wants to murder probably throws her off, especially on top of Bran having gone full Muad'dib and being nothing like she remembers. She's upset at how her family has changed. Anyway that's what I inferred. The writing and acting in this show is mediocre enough that it could easily be something completely different. This is exactly what I got out of that scene. Also, if you think Sansa is a little freaked out now just wait until she learns Arya basically murdered the entire Frey household.

Arya is going to murder her way to the Iron Throne and rule with a murder-y fist. The Night King will see the trail of corpses she leaves and think "You know what? gently caress this noise, these idiots are just going to kill each other anyways." and leave. Thus Arya will save the 5% of Westeros' population she hadn't already killed. The Hound will be kept around as her put-upon surrogate Dad.

geeves posted:Arya learns the Night King touched Bran. Arya thinks the Night King "touched" Brand and adds the Night King to her list. That scene in Winterfell where Arya walks in on the sparring match and wants to train with Brienne? She was actually just returning from killing the Night King. Yes I know The Wall is 300 miles away. I merely assume that there is an off-screen guild of wizards whose only job is to teleport people around at plot-convenient points.

My Episode 6 Predictions: -We get a long shot of the Jon's group plodding out in to the Wilds beyond the Wall. After going 10 miles or so, they all realize that they forgot their hats and have to go back. -The Hound calls Jon a oval office because his sword has a name. When it's pointed out that Longclaw is the Mormont family blade and was named many generations ago, Clegane turns and tells Jorah that his entire family were cunts. Jorah just sort of nods in agreement. -Arya makes a very life-like carving of Tormund's head, puts it on a stick and spends a bunch of time trying to freak out Brienne at Winterfell. Littlefinger watches and continues to smile in that way that would make you want to Taser him if you ever met him in real life. -Sansa rolls her eyes so far up in to her head they get stuck and Podrick has to smack them back down. -Jaime tells Bronn that Cersei is pregnant, Bronn tells Jaime to stop loving his goddamned sister. Jaime looks at him in shock and Bronn tells him that yes, the entire continent already knows and that there are at least three very popular tavern songs about it so stop loving your goddamned sister. -Jaime does not, in fact, stop loving his sister. -We get a shot of Dany arguing with her advisors at Dragonstone about their next step. Finally Daenerys puts a stop to the argument and says that she's making a decision as their Queen and orders Chinese, even though Tyrion and Varys wanted Thai. -Missandei gets Tyrion's order wrong on purpose. -Later Dany sneaks off to a secret cave underneath the castle with Drogon and we find out that her dragons are actually just a bunch of cats in a large wooden frame covered by fabric. This is why we never see cats, Daenerys kidnapped them all. -Archmaester Marwyn wanders around the Citadel looking for Sam, and realizes that he's left. He then goes and looks through the archives, and finds out that Sam took the only scroll that had instructions on how to poop. He shakes his fist in geriatric rage. -Sam and Gilly travel to Winterfell hoping to talk to Jon but are told that he's gone. With nothing else to do, Sam helps Arya mess with Brienne by making a really good wig and fake beard for her carving. -Jaime continues to gently caress his sister. grack fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Aug 15, 2017 |

lezard_valeth posted:They made the right call this time. The dragon dieing really teared me up a bit even though a) I knew it was coming and b) it's fantasy CGI. Had they killed another minor good character like Tormund or the Hound, the dragon dieing shortly after would have overshadowed it, and that is no fitting way to off the Hound or Tormund Giantsbane We haven't gotten Cleganebowl yet, so The Hound can't die. Besides, he's going to end up with Brienne and they will have many very, very tall children. I'm actually really, really surprised that Beric survived. What exactly is his place going to be in the story moving forward?

I'm just glad that the last conversation between Jon and Daenerys made sense. This episode was really the first time since they've met that Jon actually saw the side of Dany that all of her advisors talked about - she was willing to make a great personal sacrifice to save his life and didn't regret doing so. It makes perfect sense that Jon was willing to pledge his allegiance after all that. I still don't think Clarke and Harrington have a lot of chemistry but at least it was better.

Constant posted:I skipped over the winterfell poo poo to get to the good stuff but upon watching it i think Arya is acting like a petulant little twat on purpose. I think the story is basically straight as to how it's being presented - Littlefinger is trying to create a divide between Sansa and Arya that he can (somehow) benefit. I even think Maisie Williams' performance is okay - even though in the show Arya's gone through a ton of poo poo over the last few seasons, she's still very young and really not that experienced with politics. The problem, of course, is that the story is loving preposterous to begin with. Why would Littlefinger try and divide the two? Does he see Arya as a threat? Is he trying to upset Sansa so she relies on him more? For a guy who's supposedly this master political tactician the whole thing is just stupid.

gently caress Valyrian steel. Just launch like, 5000 jars of Wildfire at the Night King's army and have someone shoot some fire arrows in to it. Boom, army defeated, Jon gives a short speech about having to believe in yourself and everybody gets back to incest boning. Fade to black, cut to credits. Post-credit scene we learn that aunt-nephew incest themed porn has become really popular and HBO is getting kickbacks from all the major porn sites.
