My knowledge of pop culture is absolute dogshit so I didn't realise Ed Sheeran was in the show and I thought it was just some vaguely familiar looking dude. What is the issue with him being in the show? That scene was pretty good...

Is that kid with the bull helmet going to come back and wield a big loving hammer like his dad, or did that just get forgotten as a plot?

Phenotype posted:Yeah, I dunno why this was such a thing at all. I didn't know there was a cameo at all going in -- I thought he looked vaguely familiar, but you know, actors, and he did a decent enough job that I wouldn't have suspected he wasn't some D-list actor trying to get work. I felt like you were meant to worry a little at the start of that scene, but as it progressed I relaxed because the dudes were just talking about wanting to be home with their families and were generally chill and happy to have some interesting company for camp.

TOOT BOOT posted:Maybe it'll be a good show but I'm not sure right now is the best time for it culturally. It just seems lovely to launch a show like that in a time where white supremacy and confederate symbolism are a big concern. Is it meant to be commentary on this? Only outcome I can come up with is that it is going to make a lot of already angry dickheads even more angry and probably handle the northern "good guys" in a weird/lovely way as well.

I've always got it in my head that they'll finish got with a movie. Given the built in fan base it wouldn't be a bad idea to make a $200m film and turn over some Marvel money.

This show is just a bunch of unreasonable lunatics going around doing poo poo without rhyme or reason. I somehow prefer that to the earlier seasons where it pretended to be something more than it is. The dialogue has become way worse as well which is cool.

GrandpaPants posted:One thing that I didn't get was whether Euron attacked on their way to Dorne or on their way back from Dorne. Not that it matters much because Dorne never mattered much, but I want to know just exactly how underwhelmed I should feel that this multi nation coalition died before it could do anything cool against an opponent that it shouldn't have had any trouble with. Yeah. We knew that was coming, just not when. They were on the way to Dorne because the Dornish woman is asking whether Greyjoy had ever been before. It does feel like a really stupid cop out since this Euron dude raised a fleet that is bigger and better than Yara's very quickly and without the audience knowing it was even an undertaking (unless i missed something, which is likely). You'd also assume Yara had a loving massive fleet of ships given the army she helped to convey. So now Dragon Mountain or whatever has a bunch of elite Ghilman dudes and barbarian light cavalry milling around eating ??????? and occupying themselves by ????????? without access to regular army or a fleet. Vegetable posted:I don't think the Dothraki know how to siege, and they don't want to use them for fighting so what the hell is their purpose I think they were going to send them to fight at Casterly Rock and I assume you'd expect some field engagements along the way. They'd be useful for guarding Big Worm's flanks on the way there at the very least.

i81icu812 posted:Casterly Rock is coastal 1-800-DOCTORB posted:Is it? I thought it was in-land and it's nearest port was called Lanisport. I looked at a map like a nerd. They're like the same major city centre and Lanisport services the slightly more inland Rock (which is still a coastal city). You have to walk past Kings Landing to get there or sail all the way around. How on loving earth they intend to service an attack on Casterly Rock is beyond belief. It makes sense to march over there since its a short deployment from Dragonstone to shore in the Stormlands and then you'd be serviced by the friendlies in that area. Sailing around seems like a loving cool way to end up stranded on the other side of the continent with enemy armies stopping supply while you try to siege a castle. I guess the dragons mean they can trash the place, but what's the point of doing that when you can spit on Kings Landing from Dragonstone. Anyway now they're all trapped on some shithole island with no fleet so it doesn't even matter. some guy on the bus posted:Sand Snakes dying last episode was a nice cool surprise that I enjoyed. I don't bat an eyelid at deaths because they always feel like lazy ways to end potentially complicated story arcs before they even start or even worse they're just there to make the viewer get all huffy and cry no at the tv.

banned from Starbucks posted:Dumb question...why are there chains hanging off all the book shelves in the libraries? Presumably because there are hooks on some of the books meaning you can lock them into the shelves. I think monks used to do this when bound books were very rare and expensive. Most likely in GoT it is because it looks cool or whatever though. e: I actually think in olden irl times you had to read the book at the actual shelf and they didn't come off. Basically you couldn't steal the book or remove it from the library. JBP fucked around with this message at 07:20 on Jul 26, 2017 |

i81icu812 posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chained_library Yeah it's just there to look cooOOooOOool like every other tokenistic poo poo in the show. GaussianCopula posted:So in this season Davos is going to find Gendry in KL, where he is working as blacksmith again (keep in mind that Cersei wants him killed) and has him row his boat back to Dragonstone - where not only Mel is hanging out, who might want to burn him, but also a certain Dragon queen, who might want to burn him because he is the son of the usurper who killed her brother. When Dany has her mental breakdown it's going to be Snow and Gendry trying to defeat her I reckon. The end of the show is probably going to be Dany taking advantage of banging Snow and then killing him for the throne or some poo poo. I feel like they'll deal with the zombies then go back to squabbling and the magnificent game of throne will continue forever. What a thematically fitting conclusion. Well played DD.

Dany doesn't want to starve everyone in KL to death. She wants them to be under siege and start to starve, then turn on Cersei because they can see friendly house armies outside representing the true queen and not the queen they hate. I thought this was pretty clear. That's why she won't use foreign armies. They're trying to win the hearts and minds of the people to help them.

The other thing with not attacking KL with dragons and brown people is that Dany genuinely thinks the people are there waiting for her to come and be the queen. She's already crazy.

Feels Villeneuve posted:Cersei just blew up the Great Sept and nobody likes her. It's not entirely crazy to think that people might be pining for a return of the Targs at this point. Everyone is a crazy arsehole except for Bobby Baratheon, but his name was sullied by Joffrey being a fuckin' psycho. I think the people just accept that their rulers are going to be some colour of motherfucker so who really cares. They're not going to be like "thank God it's Dany!" Cephas posted:she literally says her brother was a fool for believing it when people told him things like this tho But she thinks it will be somehow different when she lays siege and doesn't force her way into KL? Anyway it's not our fault all this poo poo is flimsy and the character motivations are bad/inconsistent , it's the writers.
