I haven’t watched the new ep but somehow in some weird transcendentalist way I still don’t know if Theons redemption coming by being punched in the balls (?) was the show redeeming itself or proving that it’s garbage

On thoughts about the ep beyond ‘holy poo poo this show sucks’ I thought it was interesting we got the Greyjoy house words directly in reference to the white walkers. There’s some deep book nerd theorising that the iron isles are somehow special and connected to the magical cycles and dragons and thereby also connected to the walkers, much in the same way it seems obvious the starks are connected also. Both houses are the only two major houses with prominent words that are a warning rather than a boast or a threat. I kind of hope we get some info on that, at least from the prequel series if not this final season

Sodomy Hussein posted:It's more or less established that... Things occurred between House Stark and the Children of the Forest, not all of which are for polite conversation, like the time a Night's Watch commander, probably in the Stark lineage, decided to marry a white walker and declare himself Lord Darkbad. And it's possible that one or more castles exist on ley lines designed to repel white walkers, or a magically-enforced peace agreement kept them north of the wall, and whichever it is was inadvertently broken by the end of long-standing traditions and practices that only the fey know the significance of, and everyone else remembers as an old saying. For example, "there must always be a Stark in Winterfell." Cocked that one up good. The theory wrt to the ironborn involves sea monsters so it’s hard to really take it too seriously but I think the similarities with the starks and greyjoys is very interesting and seems intentional. I always wondered if dying prevents you from being wighted if you come back after. That would explain the weird ironborn baptism thing and also make jon coming back relevant to the end game as well

The actor who played Payne got crazy cancer and was written out of the show so he could get treatment. He’s just gone now. It was all a dream.

If he was putting off finishing asoiaf to dive into dunk and egg I could probably be pretty happy but fire and blood and world of ice and fire are deeply disappointing and obviously mostly other people writing authorised fan fic

In It For The Tank posted:Even GRRM at the nadir of his writing is still leagues better than the show has been in later seasons. Never forget that Theon's dramatic triumph last season was that he was immune to being kicked in the balls. why would you use the only loving good thing that happened last season as an example of this true thing

Stannis getting killed off quite ignomiously and in a similar position to where he was in the books absolutely broke a certain segment of book nerds brains bc of how much time we had all spent collectively analysing that dumb asha/yara chapter from winds of winter and concluding he was pulling a strategic master stroke by positioning himself on a frozen lake in a snow storm

Crimpolioni posted:Feel like that doesn't make sense with the show, where the night king was created in westeros, and not that long ago either, relativly speaking. But in the book maybe the others are more of a global thing? It still kind of does, the essos wall basically cuts off the yi ti empire from the rest of essos which makes sense if the threat started in Westeros.

Grrm has a huge hard on for Lovecraft and I think it’s pretty reasonable at this point to assume all actual divine intervention is the act of some rear end in a top hat higher being not acting in humanity’s best interests

GoutPatrol posted:Did we ever learn in the show if Hizdahr zo Loraq was actual betraying Dany or not, I can't remember much of that coming to anything and instead he's just kinda killed and gone forever. Imo he isn’t but is being manipulated by those that are but its always been a fairly fringe theory that he was ironically innocent

This ep was actually p good? Some pacing issues with connecting the stuff up north to the rest of the episode but I actually really liked it and I hate both this show and myself so that’s something.

SirKibbles posted:Still mad about the show being like Robert's Rebellion was a lie. Bran he burnt your grandfather alive ,made your uncle struggle to save him and then demanded your father and Robert's head and that's before Rhaegar (who is already married) abandon's his wife and children with his insane father. Man the show cutting out Rhaegar's dragon dreams and making it a generic love story really makes him and Lyanna look awful You’re not wrong overall but Rhaegar eloping with Lyanna was the catalyst for Ned’s brother to go down there seething for justice. The whole thing is dickheads all the way down but Rhaegar eloping with Lyanna really doesn’t make it any less rhaegars fault than a kidnapping

It’s almost like this show has gone out of its way to show how good intentions can lead to bad results, but I guess assignment of fault is equivalent to moral equivocation bc goons

an skeleton posted:Come on y'all. The absolute WORST these last 2 episodes can be, the floor on entertainment here, is stupid visceral high-budget spectacle with 2 handfuls of Cool Looking and/or Badass poo poo and probably at least 1 actually emotionally affective scene. This is all I’m expecting and I’m excited, but the part of my brain that will never let me be truely happy is absolutely gonna post about it here and let you all know specifically what the worst 3 parts were

this whole season felt it was written entirely as a series of shots and then they realised they were missing a fuckton of character development despite some admittedly powerful moments of visual storytelling, and they just crammed in some dialogue around it to try and make it make sense. All the big moments are almost entirely visual, all the small moments feel entirely forced, even when they work. The Long Night and this Finale in particular feels like they were almost in preproduction when they started writing dialogue. I guess they were trying to tell a visceral story about war but it means they also have to spell out a bunch of stuff because they don't have the faith in their visual story to carry the narrative

It just felt real jarring to have all these big thematic scenes interspersed with a bunch of really hamfisted dialogue. The payoff wasn’t really ecstatic or we enough for me to care about what it meant
