isn’t Simpson’s Disney now too? Lol

Haven’t watched it forever. Seems most agree about season 10 and on is garbage with maybe a few nuggets between

I just know they outsourced to some cheap South Korean animation company or something a while ago? So the art style is just, bleh. Very fake robotic looking movements and just not like the real animation

Also there’s no loving way there’s somewhat a happy ending with Jon and Khaleesi on the throne or w/e

I think somehow Cersei and the dead army win or exploit something, lot of important people die, then maybe one hero is left to claim the throne and come out triumphant finally killing Cersei or some poo poo

I mean there are a lot of loving side characters and stories they built up that haven’t had any resolve

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. That said, it just almost seems like everyone sees the light at the end of the tunnel, and after being at this for 10 years, are sort of done with their characters. Almost feels rushed like they’re blatantly just trying to wrap it all up fast and head home

I mean trust me I’m gonna watch the poo poo out of it and I’m glad we’ll have a conclusion, just a random thought

Honestly don’t even venture outside of GIP, people are chodes. I remember a thread title in GBS had nearly a whole season of spoilers in the title.

Bran will probably sacrifice himself and and pull some last minute deus ex machina to save the day where he absorbs the white walker and explodes to end them for good or some bs

Curious on the Azor Ahai poo poo. They mention the prince that was promised etc but haven’t talked much on that otherwise.

Jamie still needs time to strangle Cersei too. I really don’t see Arya dying. Also what’s up Cleganebowl is for sure happening right?

The best part is that if they'd never gone north to try grab a wight to make peace with the south, the dead would still be stuck north of the wall Nd Daenerys could clean up Cersei

yeah that whole thing was loving dumb

Hey we know you all love these heroic tough guy bad dudes and their quips so we’re going to send them on an adventure! Surely our hero is out of op....oh here comes Uncle Benjen

How the gently caress did they get the chains on the dragon is what I wanna know. I mean I guess they can walk underwater...maybe?

I remember in a later intro the water next to that castle has frozen over and people theorized they were simply going to walk around the wall. Don’t remember if the water was frozen in the actual show, or if they showed it.

I’m still waiting for Syrio Forel to save the day and or reveal himself as the faceless man.

I guess the Nymeria scene was just paying homage to the books? She better not come save Arya with her wolfpack or some bs. With all that CGI money spent those wolves seemed pretty lame and just constantly died. Well, I guess Bran’s saved him

Also, WE NEVER SAW STANNIS DIE ON SCREEN! There’s still a chance! I forgot but where is the red witch again? Is she done? I think Jon exiled her but I don’t recall.

That witch did say Drogo would come back...if certain parameters were met. But yeah, I know if any old character came back people would put it together and leak the gently caress out of it with them being on the sets and not able to film other roles

Also is Cersei still pregnant? I know she’s been drinking wine, so not sure if that’s a factor.

Sorry for the mess of blabbering

The flames of the Dothraki being snuffed out one by one was an incredible narrative choice to set up the episode.

super spooky. I mean, was that charge ordered or Dothraki gonna do as Dothraki do and they all got pumped up with the flames and took off of their own accord? As highlighted in the commentary, it all went to poo poo cause Khalessi couldn’t watch her people die and took off to help. Still not sure why they were at the front though

There’s a lot to nitpick, but like most plans during war, it went to poo poo fast. Am curious if Bran was doing something worthwhile while warging. Really wanted him to warg into Viserion. He took some ravens to see the night king on Viserion and then uh...?

The shot of the dragons above the clouds was dope.

Did Melisandre go off to die since she fulfilled and completed her path or? Was there any significance I missed to her using Syrios quote? Or just that it’s a saying in Bravos?


Also lol I don’t remember if Arya did that move before but otherwise nice copying that Jedi trick there

I thought she bit it at least three times during the crypt scenes, but she's the rightmost of the survivor group at 1:19:00.

Yeah a bunch of women looking very similar to her get smoked and I also thought the same

Definitely recommend watching with subtitles. A lot is hard to discern.

I get all the gripes I just guess the show has been this way since the start so at season 8 it’s just business as usual

I mean, at least we have battles rather than handwaved scenarios and then cutting to the aftermath like all the Robb Stark battles


And yeah so is House Karstark done then? Don’t recall seeing them for a bit. Also Gendry was gone most that episode. Sam being Sam. Saw him getting his buddy killed a mile away. GOT sure loves the surprise sword through the back of the head

Supposedly GRRM's wife loves Arya and made him promise to not kill her. I'm not sure that she'll have as big a role when things wind up on King's Landing, but she might get seriously injured and or maimed.

My prediction:

Jamie is going to die heroically saving somebody’s rear end (probably Sansa).

Wouldn’t be surprised at all if it was Brienne. He’s dead for sure though


Bored As gently caress posted:

The Mad King ordered it to be placed under the entire city. Cersei only blew up the Cept of Balor, so the wildfire caches under the rest of the city should still be intact.

I can see them storming King’s Landing clearly about to take the throne then blowing everyone up with wildfire turns the tide for Cersei to almost win. She won’t, though. She’s going to get close for sure. Tyrion knows about the wildfire stores right (if they’re still there) so it’d be a short-sight for sure. But all battles have been bad and no one seems to stick to plans


Dead Reckoning posted:

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.

I was surprised they killed her tbh. Look, a lot of us were intrigued by this show because no one was safe. That said, since the red wedding, I think they realized they cannot kill everyone, and it’s hard to write themselves out of it. Many characters have clearly had plot armor for multiple seasons so that sort of allure towards GOT has been gone for a bit


but really did they run out of money to pay Varys for his lines or what

Why was the night king after Bran again. I mean why was he a primary target for him, cause he didn’t seem to have anything on him, I forgot. I know he was marked when he had that vision

In that stare down I was half expecting Bran to consume the night king killing himself and the night king in the process, or showing that he’s a night king too or some poo poo.

That or the Children of the Forest come save the day

Yes, yes, this is a Wendy's drive-thru etc. it was a fun episode, but a bunch of stuff in there just felt unnecessarily sloppy or forced when it could easily have been written better with barely any impact on filming-logistics, as opposed to the Battle of Winterfell

Nah I appreciate any long winded rants in here tbh

*Ghost died on his way back to hardhome without saying goodbye to Jon*

They ran out of CGI money. Hell, they won’t even CGI Jon petting. I’m not sure why they didn’t just use regular-rear end wolves or wolf-like dogs with crafty perspectives and maybe some CGI. The wolves in this show have just been awfully done through and through. Especially in regards to the story.

This season had really been lame so far and I felt needed a Hail Mary and boy what they did with Khaleesi was definitely a shock. Especially how they built her up as a female lead. I get the writing was on the wall what with her crucifying etc but I digress

Jon continues to just gently caress up everything he touches even though he doesn’t want to be involved. A real Stark since he completed that arc of loyalty being the demise

Lame hand wave for Euron and Jamie
