They're not even past the wall after 6 seasons. Some slow loving walkers these are.

They're busy taking over all the wildlings' cities and towns to build their army of zombies.

I didn't expect him to make a return. For some reason it looked like Davos with an eyepatch.

Honestly all I want is Gendry to make an appearance in a trailer.

It's weird but the death that really hit me when I was like "this show will kill off anybody" was Ned's bodyguard Jory that Jamie stabbed in the eye.

That really pissed me off cause like just prior to this Jory and Jaime were reminiscing about some battle they were both at or whatev. I bet no one else ever thinks of poor Jory lol

Their conversation was great, too. Jamie was basically an rear end to him right off the bat, then Jory mentions that they were at some siege together, and suddenly they're trading stories "Did you see X? Yeah, then Y!" When they're done, Jamie goes back to being a dick.

Mid-S3: I completely forgot about Podrick loving three whores for an entire afternoon so well they gave him Tyrion's loving bag of gold back. Then Tyrion and Bronn start pouring wine to get him to divulge how. And Varys and Roz being equally baffled. :lol:

Still playing catch up. Just watched Hardhome. loving Sam actually says to Ollie (as Ollie is obviously thinking about killing Jon Snow), "I wouldn't worry about Jon. He always comes back." :lol:

Also, like 3 episodes after Podrick's whorehouse escapades, there's a background moment where he walks past two young ladies of the court who immediately start whispering to each other and staring at him. :lol:

I loving love this show.

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

Nymeria's scene could've just been fan service. The books had several mentions of a direwolf leading a pack of normal wolves and wrecking poo poo.

Duzzy Funlop posted:

This is what I'm clinging to.

There's some theorycrafting on the return of syrio and how he's Jaquen, and my girlfriend sent me a video a friend of hers was chewing her ear off over, which involves some elaborate theory on how Tyrion is actually going to ride a dragon alongside dany, but I haven't gotten around to watch it yet, because lol

Arya says "no one" taught her how to fight. So is groupthink that it's a generic "no one" meaning he's another faceless man, but not the same one?

Yeah. Syrio taught her some basic stuff, but you can't say she was even close to being a real fighter when she left him. The faceless men were the ones that really taught her combat and turned her into a killer.

The faceless men taught her how to use a stick with both hands. Everything she did with Needle against Brienne was water-dancer stuff. Edit: I wonder if Syrio's face was on the wall in the background at some point as a clue.

Syrio and knifeplay isn't. He never taught her anything about that.

You're almost certainly right, but it is all assumption. You declare that something that didn't happen on screen didn't happen at all (and you're probably right, he didn't teach her knife work). Then you assume that the faceless men taught her everything even though none of it was shown on screen.

DON'T TAKE AWAY MY DREAMS


Mr. Nice! posted:

Exactly. Syrio was basically a pop-warner coach. You learn some basics and fundamentals, but you really don't learn football till you get to higher levels.

Agreed, disappointing as it is that he didn't do some weird wooden sword fuckery and escape the Red Keep.


Radical 90s Wizard posted:

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

:confused:

This thread (maybe it was the last one) is full of people bitching about how characters act a certain way to move the story even though it stands out from the rest of their actions. All I'm doing is pointing out the inconsistency in claiming this one's any different. And that assuming Off-Screen Never Discussed Action A is completely made up while Off-Screen Never Discussed Action B must be the case. They're equally speculative.

I thought it was an interesting conversation, not an argument. I already agreed that Syrio's dead. Calm your tits.

But Dany is Rheagars sister, and thead king was still alive when Rheagars died, so Dany would still be in the line of succession before Jon

She's also a girl, so no she would not.

Edit: I think the most surprising thing is that in their little epilogue review thing at the end, they didn't even mention the dragon scene.

Edit2: I was for some reason thinking Jon was the king's son...as mentioned below, Raegar wasn't king.

Rhaegar was never king so I don't think you're right about this

:downs: I'm changing my answer. Dany would probably have the stronger claim as the daughter and sole surviving child of the king, over the grandson of the king. But Jon's claim would probably be stronger than Renly's which was basically "I'm pretty and nice!"

Dead Reckoning posted:


Also, if this show has any underlying theme, it's that the legitimacy of your claim is irrelevant if you don't have the stones/horsepower to back it up. I hope that the most explosive secret in the seven kingdoms just never gets mentioned again, because Sam was too wrapped up in his own bullshit to listen to his wife.

The best fiction has a kernal of historical influence.

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

In hindsight, Sansa should have pocketed one of those faces.
Arya: "My sister sent a treasonous scroll on behalf of the Lannisters."
(Lords of the North ooh and grumble)
Sansa: "My sister keeps a bag of faces in her room."
(Throws Walder Frey on the table with a wet splat)

I didn't realize the face Sansa's holding when Arya interrupts her was Frey until the recap at the end. :lol:

I hope she's playing him right now, while he thinks he's pulling her strings.

Sansa's in on it or will be, and will stab him with the fancy knife, then Arya will step out from somewhere so he can see her.

For a bit there I legitimately thought that Cersei had come to her senses :(

At least Jaime will make it out alright.

So...is she actually pregnant? I'm still leaning towards yes, but she pulled out all the loving stops for that little charade.

And the trial at Winterfell was immensely satisfying. Littlefinger's reaction was loving perfect...that actor is fantastic.

That's how the editing made it look, but he took the loan out to hire his mercenary friend in the Braavos bathhouse. Apparently one of the showrunners confirmed he didn't hire the army.

Also, Cersei sent Euron to go hire and transport them.
