"Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Brandon Stark stepped into the Old Man Tree accelerator and vanished... He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing Hodor images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. And so Dr. Stark finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home."

It's been a while since I've read the books, I don't remember Euron being that smart- did I miss something?

Granted, most characters have more opportunity for exposition in the books, but he's less soccer hooligan and more pensive pirate.

No doubt there. Even show Euron's costume didn't feel right. He looked too modern, like he was in a band or something.

I hope it turns out there's a bunch more giants on Jon's side and they start stepping on loads of ice-people

but then it turns out that the ice-dudes brought an ICE-TITAN and it steps on more giants

and for a while it seems they're done for but Tryion convinces the surviving humans to lock arms-and-legs together to create the biggest giant of them all and it steps on the ice-titan

My prediction for next weeks episode:


The battle is going badly, all hope looks lost-

When suddenly Robin fookin' Arryn strides onto the battlefield like a Golden God...







And he gets stepped on by a giant.

(That was not giant's milk he was suckin' all those years)

If by some miracle Gurm lives to finish the books and they are actually good, HBO should hire a new cast to do the whole series over, but just superimpose them over the original footage like in Kung Pow

I'm certain HBO will want to keep milking this cash cow. I expect Game of Thrones: Brotherhood in like 10-15 years.

Serious question- so what was the point of Dany's story arc? What did she ultimately learn? What did we learn?

I honestly can't think of anything that's not a joke response...

An exploration of how people (like Jorah or Jon) can follow someone who does evil things?

Who am I kidding, themes are for 7th grade book reports.

I guess it fits into the larger theme of the inherent problems that come with seeking power. Characters who sought power in the story were corrupted by it, forced to compromise their values, were betrayed, found that it wasn't what they wanted, found that they were wrong, etc.

Basically pick a character who tried to wield influence and count the ways it hurt them or others. Dany's ultimate struggle along those lines came when she realized it wasn't possible for her to win via love, so she had to choose between giving up or turning to fear. And ultimately the pursuit of power destroyed her just like it did everyone else. In the end the "best" rulers turned out to be the ones who didn't want power at all.

Ok, I could accept this. Jon being the exception with how people kept trying to hand him power and him trying to get out of it and ultimately refusing to take power at the end.

Oh also just for clarity, this is what machicolations look like:



Notice as you get up close to the wall the defenders can start shooting at you or throwing stuff down at you through the holes, while still being in cover themselves.

To bring it back around to GoT: loving LOL that Casterly Rock has purely aesthetic battlements and the soldiers are tossing rocks up and over the battlements at the enemies instead of... you know... down through machicolations which are for that exact purpose.

Their merlons are basically useless too, since they provide no real cover and an attacker can rake the walls with arrows and gently caress their day up. Good thing Dany's army has none I guess lmao.



They really should have had Shadiversity advise the castle designers... we would have had far more MACHICOLATIONS

So unless the prequels bomb hard, surely HBO will remake GoT when if* GRRM finishes the books.

Who would you cast in Game of Thrones: Brotherhood?

I think we've come to the obvious conclusion that GoT should be remade with DeVito playing all the characters.
