yeah whatever, it's awfully coincidental that you'd say something like this when your av's colours are red and gold, gee who uses those again????

Last scene better be Bronn and Pod safely rowing off to Essos while all of Westeros is over run by ice zombies that kill everyone else of note.

I gotta say: the first few episodes have just felt off. Yeah it’s been two years, and it’s pretty much just been reunion time.

You mean two episodes of the remaining living desperately trying to escape and the iron islands discovering that undead dragons fly

I don’t think she’ll kill Jon. I’ve been doing a total rewatch and she just said in an episode I watched that was in Qarth that she isn’t going to have human children. Her dragons will be her only children.

Imagine how well they would have done if they put the soldiers behind the fortifications instead of in front of them.

Edit: I enjoyed the episode immensely.

Pretty sure Gilly got smoked too? Haven't finished watching the episode yet though

A) horse cavalrymen who had B) never been defeated and were C) never big on discipline in the first place. The miracle was that they waited as long as they did before turning themselves into human projectiles against an enemy who out-horded them.

Here's a headscratcher that I had: Didn't they repeatedly say that this was going to be the biggest battle in TV and film history?
When I kept hearing that I figured they'd be operating on technical terms like non-CGI, or most extras involved throughout shooting, or some other metric, to even compete, and I still enjoyed the heck out of the episode, but how was that even remotely close to the biggest battle in history?

Arya: List of names - but it will be too much I think if Arya kills both Cersei and the NK. Maybe she'll die fighting against the Mountain and we'll get cleganebowl.

That was Joeffry and Janos Slynt. Tyrion even shits on her for being unable to control her son.

Pretty sure those are the norm for these armies given that Gregor Clegane was commanding forces for a while and he is a real rape enthusiast (tm)

It hit me a bit late, especially after I already said I originally expected the battle of living vs. dead to be like three episodes to close out the show, but we've essentially had 7 seasons of build-up for the White Walkers to gently caress poo poo up, and then they're waxed in a single episode after having spent like half an episode loving up even the remotest bit of Westeros since breaking through the wall.

I'd say the crown of "wettest-fart failure post-huge-buildup" safely passes from Stannis to the Night King.

After thinking on it, I'm really disappointed by the producers' post show bit where they say that they thought they had to give Lyanna Mormont a worthwhile, deserving death. The thing that I really liked about the early seasons of the show, what made it good and suspenseful, was that who lived or died, and how they died, wasn't tied to audience expectations, or fan favoritism, or whether they deserved it. You can write a great show about the wicked being unpunished, I submit Breaking Bad as an example.

My prediction:

Jamie is going to die heroically saving somebody’s rear end (probably Sansa). Arya is going to take his face, get close to and kill Cersei, then take the throne. (I’m not like a huge GoT nerd so I don’t know the conditions of taking someone’s face. Do you have to actually be the one to kill them or can they just be dead by some other means?) This will cause turmoil between Dany and Jon. Final showdown will be Dany and Arya.

the gently caress everyone doing in Essos anyway none of the white walker poo poo effects them right what do they care

It’s like the North and South American continents for Westeros, maybe with a small body of water between North/South...and then Europe all the way across the Atlantic right

Dead Reckoning posted:

What exactly did Qyburn say that wasn't true? I don't want to restart medieval tactics chat, but equal numbers doesn't seem that great when one side has a position they've clearly been fortifying for a while, giant ballistae, fresh troops, and control of the sea.

I’m telling you it’s like Battlestar Galactica

Built up all these cool concepts, ideas, and side stories, but don’t know how to write themselves out of it. This season has just been poo poo through and through I’ve been telling y’all. It just all feels rushed and them burnt out and going through the motions to finally finish this

TF CURES GENERATOR posted:

I mean to be fair, Daenarys at least has been shown to be unstable as gently caress and this is completely in character for her.

You know that old saying about monsters and abysses?

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.

The abyss has been gazing back into her for a long-rear end time now.
