Valko posted:I have heard the stories about season 8 and I honestly don't think I am missing out by not watching it. Season 7 was getting pretty rocky anyway. It might be because I was mixed on the "good" seasons, but I thought season 8 made the whole slog worth it. It's like going to this big, beautiful Thanksgiving dinner that everyone's been looking forward to. Just as you sit down, the chef's brothers come in and drunkenly start an argument. Annoying, but you ignore it. Then they start angrily throwing food at each other. Everyone's yelling, but they're pretty big and no one stops them. Then they start breaking furniture. Everyone's screaming. You're kinda in denial now. Is this really happening? Then they grab scraps of wood and dishes and begin tearing at the walls, the floor, each other, not each other. You kinda wanna know how completely they can destroy it all, how far they can possibly go. Are they going to leave the electrical wiring in- oh nope, they're ripping it from the walls. They even tore the little hand turkey apart, and that was only important to Tim's mom. Is someone going to die? Is this going to end in murder? One of them, you're not sure which, appears to be holding a wet rag. You should probably leave, but you have to know if he intends to start cleaning this late in the game, or... is that for lighting? In the end there is no longer a dining room. Whatever it is, it isn't a part of this house. To mention it brings tears, fury, fighting. Just close the remains of the doors between and deny we ever had a dining room. And I'm the aunt who at every subsequent Thanksgiving is like, "Haha, they really got everything!  "

Das Boo posted:It might be because I was mixed on the "good" seasons, but I thought season 8 made the whole slog worth it. It sounds like the ending to FANTASY MISSION FORCE. A Hong Kong comedy action film starring Jackie Chan that turns into a violent bloodbath at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFITuik_iUM&t=1101s quote:Nominally set during World War II, the film begins with a Japanese attack on an Allied military camp, which a map reveals to be somewhere in Canada. After four Allied Generals, including one who introduces himself as Abraham Lincoln, are taken hostage by the Japanese troops, Lieutenant Don Wen (Jimmy Wang Yu) is called in to organize a rescue effort (rejected candidates for the job include Roger Moore's James Bond, Snake Plissken, Rocky Balboa and Karl Maka's character from the Hong Kong film Aces Go Places). The entire wikipedia plot description is worth a read. You have convinced me. I will get around to season 8... eventually.

Mumpy Puffinz posted:especially Bran. He of all people earned it “Who has a better story than Bran the broken?” Every character including the guys killed in the opening scene of episode one. Imagine if the infinity saga ended in the same style as GoT, right as Cap goes toe to toe with Thanos MJ from Spider-Man pops up out of nowhere having snuck through his entire army and shanks him. The end (General Ross is voted in as king)

Extra row of tits posted:“Who has a better story than Bran the broken?” Hbo literally said take as much time as you need. Money is no object. Instead of finishing the show or handing it off to someone who wanted the job, they just said gently caress it. who cares. Then they didn't even get the job with disney

Ned Stark executes the guy at Castle Black in both the book and show iirc so I don’t know why the guy in the show says he never went back to Castle Black. Looks like a missed early sign of the showrunners being morons.

Waltzing Along posted:I haven't read the books but in the show, there are 3 guys from castle black who go through the wall to do something with some wildlings. 2 of them get killed by the white walker/zombies and the third ends up around winterfell where he gets his head lopped off for being a deserter. Before that happens, he says he never went back to castle black. I don't know, probably elf magic or some poo poo. maybe he had a flying unicorn. that seems to be how these things usually go

What made you think they were at Castle Black?

I guess I just assumed it was at Castle Black since they traveled North from Winterfell to get to where the guy was being held? The deserter is strung up on a wall and Ned asks that he be pulled down so he can chop his head off. I assumed the courtyard or wherever they are when that happens was at Castle Black.

Ned, Bran, Jon, and Robb all traveled North from Winterfell to execute the deserter. Castle Black is north of Winterfell at the Wall. Since they were traveling north, and the deserter is being held at their destination, it’s not a stretch to assume their destination is Castle Black. After the execution they return south to Winterfell. The execution does not take place at Winterfell.

Bran and Jon have a whole conversation about it I started googling stuff because goddamnit, I demand answers, and this topic has been talked about in many a reddit thread. Consensus is there's lots of places for individuals to sneak through/around the wall, and several characters do it throughout the books/show. So, he went through one of those places. And the wiki says he was found near Winterfell. The Game Of Thrones wiki seems like it's run by some pretty smart folks, so I'm trusting them. I think we're done here, folks.
