Cersei and The Hound are the only really good characters still imo

Hoping that Bran timewargs into Jaime and pushes his younger self out of that tower.

Well, I learned something today. I couldn't remember what happened to Pycelle once Qyburn took over, so I looked him up, and holy crap he was Walter Donovan in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade!

That part where he drank from the wrong grail gave me nightmares as a kid. Thanks a friggin' lot Pycelle

That cut scene goes on far too long. And fishing is too passive an activity for Tywin.

Anyway...This battle map is very worrisome.



Even given that the dragons can do some strafing runs to break up the mass of the horde into smaller groups. From the Battle of the Bastards, Jon should know to

a. create bottlenecks / kill zones to funnel the enemy forces into areas so they can be surrounded or outmaneuvered and picked off.

b. Keep the horse-riding Dothraki on the far side of Winterfell until later in the battle so they can charge in and attack the flank of the horde. Putting them in front of the Unsullied is not going to go well and negates their main attributes of speed and mobility.

There are very few heroic and cool characters that aren't killing kids adjacent tbf. Theon, Jaime, Arya, Tormund, all of our favourites kill kids!

George is not finishing another book. That fate was sealed once he became rich. Anyone thinking otherwise is lying to themselves.

I have a morbid curiosity about reading Fire & Blood but I don't want to contribute to GRRM's "never going to write another book again" fund.

The Battle of Blackwater took place at night and didn't look nearly as lovely, same for the fight on the Wall between the Night's Watch and the Wildings. Both those battles look significantly better. Some super questionable choices form DP for The Long Night imo. For all the hype built up for the Battle of Winterfell, its execution on almost all fronts of filmmaking was basically the cinematic equivalent of a whoopee cushion deflating.

Making the Battle of Winterfell that large in scope and having it last as long as it did was its hugest setback; it didn't need to be over an hour long battle. A lot of crew involved mentioned "battle fatigue" in the behind-the-scenes featurette, and how they felt they got around that... but no, no they didn't lol. It was a chore to watch.

The beauty of CK2 is that it is "feudal politics meets Dwarf Fortress" and making it about GoT makes that even more beautiful.

That sequence is masterful, if you take the German view of the battle they start winning,massacring entire landing boats before they can even reach the beach, then the US get a contested breakthrough and then the germans get routed and slaughtered.There are reversals, there's change, there's an evolution of things happening and you understand everything, they even tell you why there are no tanks in the beach and why the soldiers land without support.Defeat looks assured for the allies till they start doing small things to win.



The germans also stay inside the loving bunkers instead of fighting in front of them.

Xanderkish posted:

Me, it's a combination of my love for picking apart why the show's dropped in quality, my interest in seeing if the show can still stick the landing, and sunk cost fallacy that it's only three episodes left and I paid for a month of HBO for it and dammit I'm going to watch it.

She should have breakdanced fought with the zombies. If the show is running on what looks cool why not put that in.

It's not comparable IMO. LOTR Two Towers costs 133 million in today's dollar. The entire season 8 of GOT, with four times the runtime, costs just over 90 million.

I think it's frankly magic what GOT has been able to do with what's a relatively small budget for a major fantasy production.
