Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 289

Cool, I’ll give that a try. Sounds like if I’m still not there by the end of season two that may be the place to give up the fight.

 

HAHAHAHAHA YEAH RIGHT BUDDY, TIME TO GO WATCH IT 20 TIMES

 

One question: do you like fantasy aspects in movies and shows? Like creatures, spirits, etc...

 

I'd say Seasons 3 and 4 are prob the best two overall seasons, becuase they are based on what is probably the best book in the series.

But I loved Season 2 mainly for how Tyrion centric it was and the Arya/Tywin scenes.

 

Me watching that trailer:

 

I’ll prob post more thoughts but this immediately caught my eye
Varys sitting in the dark in the crypts of Winterfell leaning against the wall, seemed like a good callback to his visits with Ned in the dungeon in Season 1.


Also, Jaime pleading his case at Winterfell!

 

No, fantasy is one genre I almost never care about. High fantasy especially. LoL. I know in general it’s not my thing, but it’s such a phenomenon that I WANT to care. Every now and then I like some, like growing up with HP and stuff.

 

Okay, I've never cared for fantasy either. Like, Lord of the Rings was okay I guess, so I figured this would be more of the same but it is something different and what's weird is that there's a very fantastical moment in season two that actually made me a hundred times more interested.

 

More things I’m noticing:

Arya looking like Oberyn, fighting with what I assume is a dragonglass tipped spear.

And is Jaime yelling “run” or “Bronn”? I just realized we don’t know what happened to Bronn with Jaime taking off do we?

Jaime supposedly has a good mind of strategy these days so I hope we get some deliberation with him and Jon and others on defense tactics and shit

 

as the wise Ben Wyatt once said;

"It's a crossover hit. It's not just for fantasy enthusiasts, they're telling human stories in a fantasy world."

 

I already said I want to be in the zeitgeist!

 

It's not a bad thing to just not be interested. You gave it a shot, it wasn't for you. There's plenty of other great stuff to spend your time watching!

If you want to participate in the cultural conversation around the final season, maybe try to watch the most recent season as it's faster paced. You'll miss out on certain character arcs, but that's not really what 95% of mainstream folks are talking about anyway. Maybe watch a pre-season 7 catchup video too.

 

Man, the idea of watching the latest season without knowing anything sounds the actual worst. Lol.

 

Trailer was actually pretty subdued (which I'm happy about) and still managed to get me hyped. RIDE THAT DRAGON, JON!

 

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

that whole trailer gave me chills. tears in my eyes, friends.

 

That fucking Cersei just smile is so cold and evil, yet AMAZING.

 

She’s also crying in it.

Ugh worried about the news she just received to illicit that reaction.

 

Biggest takeaway for me is that Tormund is alive, the best romance on the show can continue

 

So many chills. What a trailer and the music is SPOT on

 

Arya running away being completely terrified was all I needed to see to confirm my hype. I'm over here getting all emotional over a trailer, so idk how I'm going to make it through the season.

 

I'll never get over the look characters have the first time they see dragons

 

I wasn't going to watch it until I realized it's going to be everywhere and all over HBO - so I might as well watch it.

 

Fuck I need it to be 5pm now so I can watch this. Just read all your comments and it's painful not being able to watch atm.

 

Protect Pod at all costs

 

Someone on the internet pointed out that in the trailer it looks like Jorah has Heartsbane on his belt
