That tease with Nymeria was complete bullshit but I guess it just means she's gonna show up and save Arya at some point. Why else would they even bother. Also holy gently caress that bit where misandei was like "Oh lol it could mean prince OR princess" was loving painfully stupid

In the post-episode commentary on HBO Now, Benioff and whatshisname specifically mention the relevance of that scene, and how Arya saying "That's not you" before smiling is a MASSIVE CALLBACK to the first season, where Ned tells her she'll grow up to be a pretty wife of a knight with children and all that good stuff, and she says "That's not me."
So she realizes that as little as she can be domesticated, she can't expect Nymeria to go back to being a domesticated pet or sidekick, because "that's not her".

I mean...I kinda see where they're coming from, but you can basically hear them say "Oh boy, is the audience going to think we're ever so smart when they get this"

It's the GoT version of

They showed how deadly armored knights are at the Battle of the Bastards IMO, and also when Stannis decimated the Wildling Army.

Oh yea Tywin & Loras hosed up Stannis' army at blackwater with cavalry as well.

The trial by combat was dumb as hell though. Dude fuckin gassed out in like 2 minutes flat.

Arya also tries to swordfight a bunch of people before she goes to braavos and is never shown as being anything more than a useless kid with a sword.

This really doesn't mean anything. Her performance at that point was just to move her from point A to point B. The story needed her to go to Braavos and the House of Black and White or whatever, so she needed to be awful.
Of course it means something. This is a bizarre and pointless thing to argue dude. You can't just arbitrarily decide that poo poo she's seen doing doesn't mean anything because it doesn't fit your lame-rear end fanfic.

e] yea way to prove my point

How the gently caress do y'all nerds know which dragon is which besides Drogon? anway I'm hype as gently caress for ICE ZOMBIE DRAGON! FIRE VS ICE DRAGON SHOWDOWN!! it's gonna be like the perfect lovely metal album art come to life :allears:

I'm disappointed that they didn't, frankly. I get that Jon, Cerisi and Dany have plot armor until the end, but the rest of these fuckers need to get put back in play. What happens of Tormund bites the dust? We don't get to see whether or not he convinces Brienne to let him show her how they keep warm north of the wall?

Eh, they're probably gonna kill Arya.

Yea I totally get that too, you can see pretty clearly when they ran out of books to follow cos they've gone straight back to every main character having classic tv/hollywood plot armour. So you get poo poo like the Tarlys being burned after they were like, bit parts for 2 episodes or the loving random number of wildling fodder last episode that are virtually never shown except to die. And Benjen out of nowhere was the most pointless one of all.

And yea Tormund dying woulda been fine really but I'm glad there's a chance for him and Hound to be bros now.

Willingness to kill likable characters that you wanted to see stick around was part of what made this show great in the first place.


Uh yea dude, that's what I was just saying with the whole plot armour thing. I was agreeing with you :shrug:

weird how i never noticed, especially since the second guy looks nothing like the others besides being a white guy with brown hair

OG Mountain was the poo poo, Strongthor can barely play a shambling zombie without looking awkward and weird.

e] Second Form Mountain looks like he got real weird and introspective while he was torturing some folks in Harrenhal.
