Dazerbeams posted:Great show. Bran sat outside all day and all night waiting for Jaime to show up. Oh lord. When Sam asked Bran what was he doing and Bran said he was waiting for an old friend I took it to mean that he was waiting for Sam to tell him to tell Jon about his real parents, because reasons. Nope, he really was waiting for Jaime and did sit the whole day there.

There is no way that what Sansa says in the beginning of the trailer for next ep "The most heroic thing we can do now is to look the truth in the face" isn't referring to telling everyone to get the hell out of dodge when the battle starts going bandly for them. RIP Winterfell.

Alchenar posted:At the pace they've set themselves the entire 6 episodes have to be set at Winterfell otherwise it's going to be really weird. All the characters are now gathered, they've spent 1/3 of their runtime doing setup for the climax at Winterfell, it's all got to happen at Winterfell. Trying to rush close off everything else in the last two episodes by having the cast teleport around won't work. Even the title sequence shows that King's Landing will play a big part in this season. There will be plenty teleporting around.

ZorajitZorajit posted:I'm leaning more into the idea that Tyrion's going to do a treachery before the season's out. It won't be episode 3, but he's being set up now as being untrustworthy and weirdly petulant about the Jon/Dany pairing. I don't think it's great characterization but I'm reminded of his line "I never bet against my family" from way the hell long ago. Maybe he'll be intercepted by Bronn beforehand? I'd say Tyrion will die in the crypt in next episode.

Mike N Eich posted:Tyrion dying after like 3 straight seasons of either doing nothing or loving things up and looking like a moron would be a sad way to end his character arc. Definitely. It's just that there were multiple references to how the crypt is definitely safe in this episode and even Tyrion was sent there because it's super-duper safe. He might be able to escape from the crypt but there will 110% be a massacre there.

ijii posted:I wonder why after 3 greatly successful seasons of GoT GRRM didn't have the motivation to put more time in his books. I wonder how much input GRRM had in these last two seasons to keep it somewhat in line with what he was thinking. Either way, GoT has been a fun and interesting experiment. GRRM hasn't had anything to do with the show at all for the past few seasons, though he has recently said that the books will have the same ending as the show apart from what happens to some minor characters.

The Bran warging to ravens was just a way to end the scene and cut to a aerial view of the battlefield. It won't be brought up in the show.

Invalid Validation posted:The white walkers are a metaphor for climate change/apocalyptic world changing event. It's paralleled to our real life politics where everyone is fighting and squabbling while the existential threat keeps bearing down on them and everyone has to find the time to stop fighting or kill everyone antagonistic off to deal with the threat. That's probably why it isn't quite satisfying for a lot of people. And then it turns out it really wasn't a threat at all. D&D you denialist scum

Gortarius posted:So what the gently caress was the point of that scene with tyrion and sansa where they are seemingly about to kill themselves but then tyrion just walks three steps to the side and nothing happens, the scene is over. Most likely it's to show them "bonding" so that we'll believe when they decide to get married again at the end of the show. That together with Arya/Gendry will see the three big Westerosi houses joined. I'm 110% certain that's where this is heading.

lezard_valeth posted:What three big westerosi houses, the Baratheon line, army and household are completely decimated, the red comet might have wiped Storm's End off the map for all the show cares. There will be an army if the plot requires it, just like the northern guys will have a full army to march south to King's Landing. I don't think there will be a need for it though, he'll just be legitimized and someone will mention an union between the great houses and that will be that.

TrixR4kids posted:That's fine and all but he just seems like a total waste of potential as a character. I suppose he isn't the only one at this point but imo he stands out in that regard. Bran's arc ended last week since it was all about the Others even though he didn't do anything last week. There were spoilers last year which had a lot of stuff right about the battle in Winterfell, includin Bran in Godswood as bait. Though he was with Meera and not Theon in those spoilers and ended up watging the undead dragon before finally dying. It's safe to say Bran won't be seen again or will just say one or two senteces which won't amount to anything.

Tender Bender posted:Oberyn was great and worked within the context of his season, but given the show runners apparent priorities it seems like a massive mistake to have spent any time on Dorne after that, they should have gone more in on the Iron Islands to better develop that plot, giving Yara more than two scenes per season and investing in eldritch euron. Didn't they say budget being an issue and that they had to choose between Dorne and Iron Islands and they went with Dorne because Spain and sunshine.

There was no way to satisfy every one but they've done a good job of burning a lot of good will. This is probably the reason D&D have been spending the past year saying the ending won't please everyone. It's not a statement about where the story goes but preempting criticism about the quality.

The Red God thing was probably the biggest fart of them all in this series. Beric was brought back to life a whole lot of times so he could do his best Jesus impression because Arya felt woozy. Melisandre's whole purpose was to tell Arya she would close blue eyes, did you get it Arya BLUE EYES huh. Then it was fine for her to kill herself. Jon was brought back for a purpose though that fizzled and Jon had no purpose.

It's not a big surprise a lot of plot threads were abandoned since D&D made it clear they had no plan for White Walkers and ended up deciding how they would be defeated only after season 6 and they filmed death scenes for a few characters for the finale and the decision to not to use them was only done when piecing the episode together.They wanted a resolution that packed the most punch in their opinion and things were discarded to achieve that.

The show ended in a truly spectacularily awful way, but this type of thing would really change the point of Dany. She wasn't a well meaning person who got driven mad by war. She was always a massive power hungry turd who believed everything she did was great and just because her yes-men kept telling her so.
