kings landing is def getting sacked by the night king and the last stand of humanity is gonna be on pike as the ocean freezes around it

That would be interesting, if anything so it doesn't feel like the iron islands are out of the show altogether. I got the sense that Yara was basically done in the show now and we won't see her again. They wrapped up that plotline so quick I thought it was a dream sequence and it would cut to her waking up still on Euron's ship.

Yeah, last we saw him in Season 7 he was headed north by himself to honor the false oath that Cersei committed to — she promised to send Lannister forces to help defend the north against the dead, but she lied. When Jaimie learned that, he told her that he was going north anyways and Cersei said that's treason, and he just left.

I'm glad Sansa just straight up called Tyrion an idiot for trusting her promise.

Rewatched the episode, and missed that Bran was talking about Jaime when he said he was waiting for an old friend after Sam asked why he's outside lmao. Dude literally just chilled in that one spot until he showed up. Amazing.

I guess learning to see the future didn't involve learn how to judge time, he could have been inside all night.

Or maybe he was out there all night giving cryptic half advice/creepy voyeuristic insights to random folks whenever they walked up to him.

The only real defeat Robb suffered before the red wedding was when the Karstark forces abandoned him. Robb killed the head of the family who had disobeyed Robb and killed some Lannister children as revenge for Jaime's escape attempt. With one death Robb lost half his army. The Northerners would rather lose with honor than win.

Hell, Jon left to get allies and now they're mad he came back with them.

e:VVV Oh yeah, I vaguely remember that now. They're still too proud for their own good though.

Sure but it probably would have been more honorable to not jump into some random girl's pants after you've already made a political alliance predicated on your future engagement to somebody else.

I still find it funny that he'd do something as stupid as betray a key ally and then go to celebrate that betrayal in the ally's house and expect no hard feelings.

I just remembered, when Bran first got to the other 3-eyed raven they were attacked by skeletons that didn't have much if any meat left on them, so really a crypt full of skeletons is still doable. That might have just been the three-eyed raven's home defense system though.

I haven't gotten through all the backlog of posts in this thread but just lol at you sweet summer children who are like "the corpses in the crypt would have rotten away to bones and they're stored under heavy stone so they can't attack the people hiding there." It doesn't matter how illogical something is on this show, if that's the easiest way for them to get to the next plot point, then surprise, zombies out of the walls.

When Bran first got to the other three-eyed raven, a bunch of skeletons popped out of the frozen ground like they were in Jason and the Argonauts. It's still a possibility.

One year = one season has been established for a while now

Yeah, the show has never done a good job of conveying the passage of time. The first couple episodes took place over a few months due to travelling but watching it you'd think it was a week or two at most. It's the kind of thing that normally doesn't impact the show much till people start zipping around the country side in a matter of hours or age questions become a focal point.

I don't think Bronn will hurt Jaime or Tyrion. The show is pretty much goodies vs baddies now, and Bronn while a scoundrel, is a goody. He's gonna go with the goodies. But maybe not for the right reasons .

Yeah, I'm expecting at most Tyrion goes to the toilet, the door swings closed, and Bronn is sitting in the corner with the crossbow. "You're lucky I remembered your offer." "Well good, but I don't need to poo poo anymore." At this point the writing quality makes this sound pretty likely.

From what I've read the actor says that the other filming (it was the Hobbit, not Warcraft) did not interfere with the GoT filming but D&D used it as an excuse to fire / replace him. Apparently other cast members didn't like him at all and he was really difficult to work with, including demanding that the scripts be changed to give Gregor more depth.

He didn't even get the role in The Hobbit, he lost it to a CGI character. Dude nuked his career prospects by being a jerk. What's funny is the current mountain is apparently a teddy bear.

No one remembers the second mountain. He was tall but nowhere near as big as he needed to be to fit the role. Apparently he played the space jockey in Prometheus.

I demand geographical precision in my show about dragons and zombies, and furthermore I find it very disturbing that there was an innocent girl who grew up to be a badass assassin who kills a bunch of people and then she started sexhaving and that's just right over the line!

Speaking of, when the episode aired it was labelled "Game of Thrones 69" instead of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms."

Curse my filthy depraved mind.
