I don't know if I think this episode is good or not but I will say Tormund loving owns. Almost as much as the Hound.

TyrantWD posted:The biggest problem people seem to have with the sex scene is that we got to know Arya when Maisie Williams was 12, and somehow still looks 12. She doesn't look 12 at all she just has a very round head. When she makes any kind of facial expression besides boredom she definitely looks like she's in her 20s. She'd also extremely short so I guess that plays into it as well. Gendry is like a good foot and a half above her.

Also sending the dothraki in a preemptive charge against...nobody knows what (because they couldn't see) was dumb as poo poo. RIP Dothraki, crossed the sea and then did nothing at all for two seasons. Edit: also, Tyrion and Sansa are totally ending up married that seems obvious.

Escobarbarian posted:I liked the overall feeling of “oh god, they are totally overwhelmed, everyone is totally hosed” feeling at first but then the longer it went on the more it became obvious it was just gonna be a “someone kills the night king right as things are at their worst” thing. The actual scene/having it be Arya was cool though. Jorah, Theon, Beric, and Lady Mormont dying was more than I expected to be honest. House Mormont is truly dead. Also did Jon's dragon die or not?

He's already giving himself the excuses he needs. There is zero chance with this attitude that he will finish the books.quote:In a discussion about The Silmarillion , J.R.R. Tolkien’s posthumous pre-history of Middle-Earth, Martin defended his upcoming history of the Targaryens, Fire & Blood, pushing back against the idea that A Song of Ice and Fire will only continue to be loved if completed.

Raffles posted:I thought Tolkien sent it to publishers when they wanted another Hobbit book and they were like "what the gently caress is this homie?" so he started writing LOTR instead. Yeah Tolkien first tried to publish it in 1937, and he kept at it always intending to get to a final version but never getting there. It was absolutely meant to be published. He never saw it as being ready to be published, and he was right, but there's some cool stuff in there nonetheless.

Locking someone to die in a vault is also a particularly cruel death. Even Jaime, whom she hates, would never do that to somebody. Her first interaction with anybody is also to demand they kneel and flaunt her dragons/threaten to burn them. She is a maniac It's her own fault people would rather follow Jon, she's a raging rear end in a top hat and he's a kind but strong leader who should rule - but he isn't demanding it from anyone.

She doesn't do leading better than him, he's unquestionably the better leader because he gets people to follow him without fear(yeah he makes dumb decisions but so does she) - while fear is all she has. If she sits as the ruler, the second she's gone it would absolutely be war.

Plan Z posted:Mostly only dumb people hated it because they can only think that it's "Tony dies, they just don't show it," versus the more likely explanation that the life and the way it affects Tony is going to be following Tony for however long he has left. It was really respectful by the show to just say "there's no end," and I think they did a really good job with it. It didn't help that the show runners gave absolutely stupid interviews afterwards going on about "We used 'Don't Stop Believing' because in life you like can't stop and we think that speaks to us," or something dumb. Right now, my boss thinks the current season is good because there's lots of fighting and Sansa is Legal and Hot (no joke) and the only problem is nobody's naked. He probably shares a lot with the average viewer or r/gameofthrones poster. I think it works on multiple levels because it works in that sense but I'm 100% convinced he died. The member's only stuff wouldn't be put in place from the first episode to the last scene by accident. Especially because member's only guy was the only named extra in the scene.

I think there's too much baggage there with the Mad King and then what Dany did, there's no way she could rule with any stability - there would always be rebellions or assassination attempts brewing. In any case when she dies, if she's not leaving an heir, it would throw the kingdoms into chaos because nobody could control Drogon and nobody would inspire the same fear she did.

Chris James 2 posted:You can do whatever you want with "did they really die" if it's not explicitly shown on-screen, but in terms of on-screen they're almost certainly not getting shown again in the 80 minutes of new footage the show has left to air in its history. That part of the story's done One of the spinoffs will be Jaime, Cersei, Stannis, the Blackfish, Ellarya, and Tyene in a hilarious adventure as the ragtag crew of a pirate ship.

JHomer722 posted:Are there even any prominent houses left? Technically, the Lannister, Stark, and Baratheon names/lordships will carry on. Yes they're through legitimization and it would need to be Sansa passing her name to her heir, but that's not unheard of (in the lore, that happened sometime back where all the Stark men died and the women carried the name on). Edmure will carry on House Tully with his heir, Sam will carry on the Tarly name, Robin Arryn will carry on that name. The Martells have a shitton of heirs as stated before. I think the major houses that are gone are the Umbers and Mormonts, which are not that major really, the Freys and Targaryens if Jon takes the black (and good riddance), and House Tyrell. But House Tyrell is going to be replaced by a new great house started by a hard bastard good at killing people. Westeros will feel the effects of this war for a long time, and in reality the power transitions (especially a fat weak gently caress like Sam becoming the Lord Tarly, Edmure being reinstalled at Riverrun, the Imp taking over Casterly Rock, and Bronn getting Highgarden) shouldn't be easy. But they will be. Because there's no time left. Nail Rat fucked around with this message at 15:52 on May 14, 2019 |

Telling your family who your real parents are = betrayal Her whole claim to the throne is her birthright, so if there's someone with a better birthright, isn't it betraying them to try to ask them to keep it a secret?

Qwertycoatl posted:Was there any explanation for why Tyrion convinces Varys that Jon would be a better king than Dany then rats him out when he tries to act on the suggestion? The plot demanded that Varys find out, and also that he get burned alive, to match with previous foreshadowing. It's not like Jon is going to tell on Varys, and it's not like Sansa is going to tell Varys. So this illogical sequence of events is the only thing they could figure out to get to their planned endpoint.
