I hope they abort the Iron Islands plot just like they aborted Dorne's plot last season. Have Euron hit a rock and anticlimaticly sink. Move to the interesting stuff please.

I love that Cersei is so petty that her "Win Everything" plan had to have a special subsection dedicated to getting revenge on Shame Nun. Like all it would have taken for her plan to fail is for someone to notice that Shame Nun was missing.

Since season 1 my friends have always come to my place to watch Game of Thrones because they didn't have HBO. Since then we've all graduated and got jobs. They have HBO now but they still came over today for tradition's sake. They said they will watch the show at their respective houses next week. That's how boring this episode was. Game of Thrones left me friendless

The Hound and Arya's scenes were the highlight of this episode, and only 50% of them. Arya bonding with good Lannister guys was good. Arya mission impossibling all the Freys was fanfic and lame. The Hound's guilt trip over the peasant and his daughter was good. The Hound gaining psychic plot tracking powers was bad.

The Hound's and Arya's scene offer a good narrative contrast. The Hound feels sorry for the death of the family that welcomed him in their house and fed him and regrets his actions. Arya berated the Hound for his actions, and yet now apparently she will kill the soldiers that invited her to their fire and fed her.

Everything twisted or morally ambiguous Tyrion, Jon or Daenerys did in the books was completely scraped in the case of the former 2, or played with fanfare BGM to lead the viewer into believing it was ok in the case of the latter. Those 3 characters are untouchable in the show, at least till the very last 2 episodes of the final season.

Alternatively, Euron could end up being a salty loser that before being defeated blows the horn of Joramund (or w/e it's called) bringing down the wall. Not sure that would make people hate him more than Ramsay, but maybe, just maybe the actor is over exaggerating to hype his own character.

InFlames235 posted:IMO it'd be worse to bring her back and have her character do nothing meaningful at all. Might as well just keep Beric with his flaming sword. Revenge Zombie Catelyn as a character is not interesting because Revenge Zombie, but what could be interesting is the interaction other characters could potentially get with her. For instance, she could come across Sansa and see her with Littlefinger and feel betrayed and plan to kill her. Arya comes across Catelyn trying to kill Sansa and realizes that revenge is bad and she was heading down that same path and have to mercy kill Catelyn to save Sansa.

some guy on the bus posted:Bullshit. All those Freys could have and should have been slowly killed by her over the last two seasons rather than have them all killed in a 3 minute throwaway nothing scene. Non-book readers would have loving loved that poo poo. Especially in Season 5 when there wasn't much happening that people liked. Lady Stoneheart killing Freys would have been a lot of people's second favorite part of Season 5 after Hardhome had it happened. Personally what I find most upsetting about the removal of the Lady Stoneheart arc is that she dies truly believing that all her children are dead and that Ned cheated on her. At least in Revenge Zombie mode she gets to find out that both Sansa and Arya are still alive.

drunken officeparty posted:With the teleporting thing, I feel that way about real history sometimes. Like I straight up don't understand how things got done in ye olde days. Roman consuls served for one year, how they managed to make an army, march it to wherever away, fight stuff and come back all while also being able to be up to date on stuff at home is a mystery to me. It would take me longer to walk to my closest Walmart than it apparently took Julias Ceasar to get from Italy to Egypt. Probably someone did the math on the timeline. After all, a guy on youtube worked a whole theory to explain the irregular lengths of GoT's winters involving 2-3 suns with equations and other math sorcery to back it up. The real answer is don't be that guy. Just don't think about it and enjoy the tits and dragons and tittied dragons

If I'm not misremembering I read there will be a lot of other "celebrities" cameos this season, so I wouldn't make that big of a deal out of it.

So Nymeria shows up next episode apparently. That's neat. Hope she doesn't die cause CGI is too expensive. Also when Euron said he was bringing a gift, my first thought was that the show had forgotten Rickon Stark had already died but my second thought was Gendry. I find it hilarious that the show runners that are super obsessed in wrapping up every single plot thread despite the author of the book saying "hey this may not have a satisfying ending for everyone" have so far completely forgotten about Gendry. I want the show to end without any mention of him again so we can rename the Chuck Cunningham trope into The Gendry. Of course, most likely he is gonna show up next season out of nowhere with an army to save Jon from the zombies and fend them off back to back like their fathers (or fake fathers) did. lezard_valeth fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Jul 18, 2017 |

Rewatching the episode now. Daenerys arrival to Dragonstone reminded me of this  if this continued into "You've taken your first step into the Tohjo Falls....you've taken your first step into Victory Road....and now you are taking your first step into Indigo Plateau" Why did that scene dragged on for so long? Any drama was lost after the first loop of the Targaryen theme.

When I first saw the episode I was expecting a cripple joke Like them glancing towards Bran's legs with a look of "how many cripples claiming to be Jon Snow's supposedly dead brother do you think are living in zombie wasteland?" Regardless I'm glad Edd is back. Boomed down that he will be remembered as the Commander under whose watch the Wall went down.

emanresu tnuocca posted:The funny thing is that hardhome to eastwatch is about a fifth of the distance from castle black to winterfell so unless the night's king was purposefully waiting for Jon to sort out his season 6 plot lines he should have already overtaken the under garrisoned castle. In the show's defense (what the gently caress am I doing) after Hardhome the Night's King went to gently caress around the Heart of Winter where his zombie horde dramatically stared down a mountain. Then they paid a visit to the Forest Elves and Discount Gandalf and chased Bran down till they got bored and went do something else. You just don't remember the Night's King doing all this stuff because you are used to characters sitting on their assess waiting for a candle for a whole season. Or getting wasted and cracking eunuch jokes. Or straight out dissapearing for a full season and returning to die offscreen. lezard_valeth fucked around with this message at 07:41 on Jul 18, 2017 |

What annoys me about the whole Greyjoy thing in the show is that...they LOST. These guys that had like a fleet of 100 ships and men to sail them, and then could built 1000 more ships and have more men to sail them in a small amount of time LOST the rebellion. Up till last season the Greyjoys were a joke family not much unlike the Freys (and the show kept drawing attention to this parallel this very episode to boot!). Everyone that interacted with Theon went like "hahaha your family sucks", they barely had enough men to take some understaffed northern keeps or mount a proper rescue mission to save Theon, and now they have the GREATEST FLEET OF THE 14 SEAS!! This is what makes me not take show Euron seriously at all, the fact that he arrived too late to the game, had 2 scenes that together don't add up to more than 10 minutes and was suddenly promoted to arc villain after the previous arc villain died and the show and the actor want to make us believe he is more  than a psycho kid who killed the decoy protagonist, was a dick to everyone and had 2 powerful armies full of named characters on his side, or the psycho teen that gave us a full season of torture porn and shirtless plot armor, gave us another season of rape and 20 good men, gave us YET another season of plot armor of winning and had the North and Stannis' army on his side.

Oh, and also the fact that in the books, he claims that he was able to sail and return from Not-Mordor something considered to be impossible. He may be lieing, but he has the horn and Valyrian armor to back up his claims. In the show Valyria instead is bookSorrows and is not very remarkable.

Sit and wait for one of the 12 people who can afford them to want someone dead? It's never made clear, but it's also hinted that gold or killing some random shmuck as payment ala Dark Brotherhood won't work. They are...mysterious. Like the origin story of them has the slaves of Valyria asking for freedom from the slavers who force them to work in the mines all their life...so the Faceless Man kills them all. The slaves, not the slavers. Can't remember if the show brought this up. But then, there's this ship insurance guy, who promises he will pay money to your family if your ship sinks, but then scams them, and apparently one of the widows manages to hire them to kill him without backfiring into "lol here let my knife free you" Or maybe they are just trolls

What my imagination just can't come up with is a way in which Bran would be useful at all in the fight against the Night's King. Unless witheld from the audience, he didn't gain any valuable information from Raven that the other characters didn't find out on their own via trial and error or by reading a book He doesn't seem to have any special sorcery power outside of warging and seeing the past. Some theories said the "you will fly" thing meant he would warg into a dragon and control him during the fight, but that makes sense in the books were Dany can't control the Dragons and at best can bond only to one, but in the show they are puppies. I guess if he could learn how to warg into multiple things at once then it would be useful to warg into a bunch of zombies and have them sabotaging the army from the inside.
