Siliziumleben posted:Why did the Night King leave a spooky message at Last Hearth? What does he have to gain from doing that? I thought he was just a single-minded reaper of the living, not a fan of theater. Villains love to warn their enemies and explain stuff they plan to do before they do it, so that they can prepare. Imagine how effective this crap would be if the night king would just use undead Viserion to StuKa the poo poo out of Winterfell, burn the Dothraki and Unsullied real quick and gently caress off before Danaerys and Jon can stop loving for a second to mount Drogon and Rhaegal. Also, if he additionally carries one or two of those magical ice spears with him, those two dragons wouldn't even be an issue.

Nah, since like season 5 goons dislike the show professionally just for the cause of it. Remember last season how we spent like 2 pages discussing why Dany using Drogon in the army fight was poo poo and bad and proves how poo poo the show has become, as she didn't use it vertically in a StuKa move.

emanresu tnuocca posted:"Let him be king over ashes" is sort of a theme and it applies very much to Cersei's ambitions who already burned half of king's landing just so she could cling to power. I honestly wonder if the writers really believed that a passionate viewer would believe Cersei turning around after seeing one zombie, that was defeated by the Hound easily and even if he wouldn't have been chained, would have been torn apart by the Mountain before he could hurt her. It was sooo out of character for her to all of the sudden go from jokes about how everyone in the city wishes to be dead to "The crown accepts your truce". Sure, obviously, it's zombies, but the strategic situation was completely off. She was fighting an unwinnable war against dragons that burns her soldiers and executed allied families, she lost the stuff she captured from Highgarden in like 5 minutes of Drogon coughing and the next best army was a continent away. Cersei doesn't give a flying crap over the world and if she does it's only because she wants to rule it in one way or another. Everyone, especially Tyrion, actually believing that she would actually turn around because Danaerys and her guys did some monster hunting is ridiculous and partly out of character for those who do so. Even if they did believe her for a moment, there should have been voiced doubts.

I'd assume GRRM differentiates between magic as in "people do spells and poo poo" and magic as in "it exists as a metaphysical idea of stuff happening in the world", like with that Warlock Dany found (I know, after the comet, but I guess he didn't become warlock in a day), or magical seasons or the wall being magically enchanted. Also, it's said that magic did not disappear, it just was very weak and didn't happen a lot until danaerys took a hot bath with some stones.

Given that magic still is inherently bound to the world, even if it's to a super small degree for humans until dragons happen, magic seasons seem completely fair either way. Also lol, completely forgot about Varys' dick. Dragons should never go away, so this is not necessary.

Alchenar posted:If you want to get rules lawyery about it, his titles and claims all passed over when he died too. Medieval law never had figured out what to do if someone dies, passes his titles and claims and then comes back to life. However, it's plausible to believe that nothing would have been passed on once he's back to life, because death is usually considered permanent and if it isn't, well, then he by law wasn't really dead. Thus, the things go back to him. This technically also goes for the oath, but really, until the last episode he officially was a bastard, soooo

Given that White Walkers are not exceptional swimmers, I wonder how they got that chain around his neck anyways. Did they just throw zombies holding the chain into the water and kept on doing that until someone eventually managed to hit the neck before drowning entirely? Or are they able to walking on the ground as they don't require oxygen? If so, the iron islands might not be super safe in the long run.

Anime assassin Arya killing a dude that was built up for 7 seasons seems quite underwhelming, also maybe some more deaths would have been nice to counter that plot armor argument, rest was cool. Bit sad though that we are now left with Cersei, but now I'm actually excited what will happen, as I can't imagine they are going to need 3 longass episodes to deal with that if they manage to kill the night king in the first large scale battle against the walkers.

Gunthen posted:Next episode (maybe next 2 honestly) will be like the first 2 in this season. Mostly nostalgia and talking. Whatever happens to Cersie, will unfold in 30-45 minutes. Most of the remainder of the show will be building up to it. Couldn't see why they would actually need two talkative episodes for that. The first two were needed to shove every main character that ever existed and isn't on Cersei's side into winterfell, that kind or writing takes time to unfold. But now? What's there to discuss and who's left to reunion?

Bananasaurus Rex posted:Kinda seems like the night king and the lord of light are related in some way. Her powers grew as the night kings did. But once one fades so does the other. Maybe something to do with ice and....fire. I am still a fan of this theory actually, it came up seasons ago as an option and I'd like to see this at least in the books to be somewhat true. Especially because that would mean that the Night King is also just a messenger for whatever lures behind him, being that lord of fog I guess. Can still see this happening to some degree, as we still don't know what Bran's role is, why the night king was against him and given the fact that there are more red women in the world, with their religion being quite real. Who knows, it wouldn't make a good main plot, but a subtle feeling that behind all the political rabble on the one end and the magic on the other might be something else. At least in the books, as a general vibe between all the details, even though no new books will ever come out. For the show however the politics are better suited to deal with it and while I didn't like the way the night king died, I am glad we can take a step back from the magic and see some human poo poo again, even though I'm afraid the conclusion might be similarly unsatisfactory like the night king's death either way.

Fart Amplifier posted:As the Night King grows in power, stab wounds have less effect on humans. That's why in S1 Ned was crippled literally for the rest of his life from a stab wound to the leg. It's also why Jorah and Arya were able to fight after being stabbed 600 times in the gut and chest. Then after the Night King died, Jorah's previous stab wounds killed him. This show makes sense now, oh my God.

Sodomy Hussein posted:It honestly feels like there's a bandwagon of people who got more into the show after it stopped being dark and political and became Star Wars. Yes, In many of those watch parties or communities in general there is a wild idea that the first few seasons sucked massive monkey dick and it started to become actually interesting after a few seasons, with walkers and dragons being a thing and the complicated politics being left behind. That idea seems to have a lot of agreement on many sides. Apart from goons being goons, I can see a lot of people disliking some of the show in general or this episode in particular as it took this turn and now focuses other things. I think it's fair to say that you can both love and hate what the show has become, and the general trend seems to be that those who preferred the old style are now more critical about the show than those who prefer the show as it is now. Either way, this episode was intense, exciting, visually appealing and emotional, but also had plot holes or logical problems, an anime assassin death and a lot of deus ex machina.

That Italian Guy posted:The episode has some very nice visuals (if you can see them) but good god how the mighty have fallen. All of Martell and their vassals are gone, all of Tyrell and their vassals are gone (OK, some joined the lannisters, fair), all of Baratheon and their vassals are gone, the entire Lannister army is dead and now exclusively mercenaries have to do 100% of the job, the Riverlands must be a barren wasteland by now with no one ruling over any of it, too, the twin towers still have the Frey corpses laying around with no one to clean them up and now the entire north is empty, too. There are no vassals anywhere, no allegiances, no loyalties, no politics happening anywhere, no one cleaning up any mess, apparently. A lot of the show has gone into binary mode of army 1 or army 0. Technically there should be gigantic power vacuums everywhere with smaller houses rising to the top, as they are not affected by the war of the dead or the war between Cersei and Danaerys, but somehow none of them ever come up in any abstract talk-about way, even if either of those cross their lands with their armies or dragons that fly over territories.

Binary Logic posted:Tryion gets credit for being clever but Samwell's smarter than almost everyone else. He found out about dragonglass, he learned about Jon's parentage, he cured Jorah Mormont (who was the best fighter on 2 continents and appeared out of nowhere to save Dany) and...he was smart enough to be scared shitless about the approaching horde. Technically he didn't learn about Jon's parentage, but about Rhaegar being married to Lyanna Stark, making the kid that Bran then was able to see born a non-bastard, but a regular Targaryen. Given he learned about that in the citadel, I'd assume among Maesters it's common knowledge that they did marry, but I doubt it was anywhere noted that she also got a son from Rhaegar, as that needed Bran powers. Also, wasn't the cure for Jorah just to cut off the poo poo? Which was a known cure, but he was the only one risky enough to do it. The rest is true though and he surely still is easily the smartest man in Westeros, as he's a personification of GRRM himself.

Part of me hopes that there at least is some kind of tension regarding that, the other part is happy that they want to go with human politics now, but somehow I'm afraid D&D&D will mix it up altogether.
