Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 110

Idk I think there is gonna be a big payoff for King's Landing story, and the Jamie/Twins shot they showed.

 

I actually think my favorite scene last night was the Dany/Tyrion/Theon/Yara stuff.

 

The Dany/Yara stuff kinda took me out of the world for a bit. It's just that I'm so used to crappy things happening, especially to women that my mind boggles that such "progressive" views can exist.

 

I do find it interesting that more women are coming into power when the season is going to culminate in the one woman who has had power all along potentially receiving her, admittedly deserved, downfall. It'll definitely put Margaery in an interesting position, as she's in the same generation as Dany, Yara, and Sansa.

 

Read tht review earlier. Hated it.

 

Imagine if Dany finally gets across the sea and dies immediately.

 

One thing that i've been pondering about, what is the general belief level of some characters in the coming Long Night? I mean only a handful of characters currently south of the wall (Jon, Sam, Ed, Tormund, and Gilly) have actually seen White Walkers and/or wights in person. I know we can understand why Melisandre would believe, and with what Davos has experienced i can understand his willingness to believe, but i don't understand why someone like Sansa or Brienne would take the accounts at their word even if they trust Jon Snow.

In the context of this universe claiming a White Walker invasion is coming is tantamount to claiming a UFO invasion is coming to most people, it should sound insane, and it's kind of bugging me how some characters are not treating the idea like it's insane.

I'm really interested in seeing how the coming Long Night will effect Littefinger and his plans. As a meticulous person who plans things out 10 steps ahead White Walkers is most likely something he never factored in.

 

All of the Sansa being preggo stuff is awful.

 

Well for one, the people in the show are simply more prone to believing that magical elements exist that we are because most of them have seem or heard plenty enough about some form of magic that it isn't outlandish to them.

Secondly, I believe that most people in the North think all the whitewalkers are dead, not that they're just stuff of fairytales. The lack of belief in their existence at all increases as you head south. But most Northerners know that WWs at least were very real at some point. And what was real once can come back again.

Finally, I think now that you have seriously reputable and believable people talking about WWs, and not just deserters from the Nights Watch, it tends to lean some credibility towards the whole thing as well.

 

There's also a weight lent to the WW claim since the Night's Watch willingly let Wildlings south of the wall. Something Big would have to effect centuries of prejudice and war THAT much.

 

Seeing the white raven in the preview for next week got me all hyped. I think between Davos confronting Mel, kings Landing coming to a head, and hopefully the hanging of the Frey's it could still be a satisfying finale.

 

Season finale is 69 minutes long.

Nice.

giggity

 

*in South Park cop voice * niceeeee

 

the sequence of events was to be expected but i thought the episode was really an adrenaline rush. i was really thrilled with the episode and i dont see a point in trying to pick it apart to come up with things about it i didnt like. what matters to me is that i had fun watching it and i did.

 

Just watched the episode a little bit ago, was away at Firefly last night.

Hollllllly shit. That was awesome. Yes it was a little "predictable", but it was still awesome. But even with knowing the Vale Knights were going to sweep in eventually, I still had a huge knot in my stomach when the army was encircled and Wun Wun was starting to falter and Small Jon was headbutting Tormund over and over.

For anyone saying they wanted 'unexpected', I think Ramsay showing he actually had a real, good plan in place and showing a good mastery of warfare tactics was pretty surprising. He'd been portrayed as the 'mad dog' who had a certain sadistic cunning, but I fully expected his sadism and own over-confidence to do him in, and that his actual plan for battle would be 'slaughter them all'. When he was shooting arrows into his own men, I thought that's where it was going. That either Karstark or Umber would turn on him. When Small Jon charged, I thought there was a chance he'd charge into the backs of the Bolton men, especially after the "who owns the North?" chant. But nope, instead it was a perfectly executed plan by Ramsay.

I both knew Wun Wun would die and was hoping against hope it wouldn't happen. ugggggh. Wun wun :(

The non-Winterfell scenes were fantastic as well. Dany taking Drogon, and the other dragons breaking out and burning a ship or two was awesome. Tyrion/Dany was great as well, Grey Worm taking out the two dudes felt good. Yara and Theon teaming up with Dany was great. Yara (inadvertently?) knew how to play to Dany and the whole 'who run the world? girls' thing. Though I do wonder how the Iron Islanders are going to support Yara when she goes back and says "oh BTW, whole way of life is changing". Guess having the backing of the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms and three dragons helps, though.

 

I can't see how Euron can be a believable threat to Dany and co unless he has a dragon horn like he has in the books. I'm expecting that reveal to come in the finale.

 

It's not that he is a believable threat. It's that she had the option to have 100 ships now or have to fight Euron when she rejects his offer. It's easier to fight him from Westeros with ships and the country against him.

 

So, in light of this last episode, is Jon just a moron? He fought an out-manned battle to overtake a supposedly impenetrable fortress (I guess not, eh?) and did so without any real strategy by just charging into archer fire? So, absent some perfectly timed deus ex machina, he just gets all of the free folk and the last of his family killed.

Also, Ramsey's death was just retributive cheese. As such, I didn't find it moving or satisfying at all.
