Game of Thrones - 14 minute preview

[Thebesteva]

Im so excited...tee hee

[BD24]

Hopefully this season doesn't suck as much cock as the last one.

[JMarkJohns]

Big bag of meh for episode 1.

[Death In June]

It was a boring episode. I didn't have any interest in anything that was happening. I hope they can recapture some of the magic from the early seasons, because it all became kind of retarded toward the end of last season.

[InRareForm]

so this is basically the producers creating their own version.... and the george martins will be completely different? This is like 2 head coaches... this season and the others could go sour quickly unfortunately..

episode 1 just seemed weird and not like the others...

[JMarkJohns]

They had like 8 plots at like 8 minutes each, and I hated just about all of them.

They've lost themselves. They don't prioritize, they don't weight plots for minute distribution, they have scattered storylines, and extended others which could have been solved by now.

I have a feeling they've effectively neutered Tyrian. Littlefinger was nowhere to be found.

But fucking Oathkeeper saves the day! Yay!
And Jorah found the needle in a haystack! Yay!
And we get sad face from Marcella's demise. Aww!

And we get each equally alongside boring Tyrian in boring Myreen, and Jon Snows's lifeless body being guarded in a room.

And we saw a great grandmother's snatch.

So, I guess we should be thrilled.

[Xevious]

George Martin is a producer on the show and has given them the storyline going forward since the books are not complete. So like the show or not, it is made with George Martin's blessing.

Oh ok I was confused with that

[Darius McCrary]

I'd still bang Melissandre

[FkLA]

:lol Y'all need to chill. It was a pretty dull premiere but it should pick up once they bring the white walkers into the picture again. I think they set the groundwork for Melissandre bringing Jon Snow back as well imo.

[elbamba]

I don't think she brings him back. There is a theory that when they burn his body, he will be reborn with the fire like a Targaryan. That makes more sense if you ask me.

[Jacob1983]

I am still having trouble unseeing that last 2 minutes. I'll never look at the red woman the same again. Please keep that fucking necklace on.

[BD24]

Haha surprise surprise the show went to shit without Grrm source for them to pull from. What a shit episode. None of it made any damn sense

[BD24]

I don't think she brings him back. There is a theory that when they burn his body, he will be reborn with the fire like a Targaryan. That makes more sense if you ask me.
I think this is the route they will take. I wonder if they will use the same actor or a new one.

[ColinB]

The Dorne plot is so awful.

[Texas_Ranger]

The Dorne plot is so awful.

and Meeren/Khaleesi strory... at least for me.

[ColinB]

and Meeren/Khaleesi strory... at least for me.

Agreed, it is a shame a great character like Tyrion got latched onto the Meereen storyline. Hard to really care about anything going on other than what's happening at Castle Black.

[313]

Dorne is still shit, not really a shocker after last season though. Mereen is boring, I figured by this season Dany would be wrapping it up over there, but it doesn't look like she'll be leaving any time soon. Fuck the old sparrow plot too, how does he have the authority to arrest the fucking queen? I won't even address the plot holes.

I'm hoping the dialogue isn't shit all season, and this episode was just an outlier, but you can definitely feel GRRM writing is missed.

Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to seeing Jon come back, Arya turning into daredevil, and What Sansa and company do in the riverlands.

[313]

and Meeren/Khaleesi strory... at least for me.
I've never been that interested in Dany's story, except for the nude scenes. I heard her plot is better in the books.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Nah still boring AF in the books

[BD24]

Nah still boring AF in the books
Boring, but better. Show did a fucking awful job with the dorne. Literally just killed the one character who made dorne interesting

[batman2883]

Winter is coming!!!

[Thebesteva]

This is a classic case of a show outsmarting itself. GOT's was amazing because it was like 3-4 main story lines going on all at the same time. As the previous poster said, now it's 8 story lines with everyone getting the same amount of screen time. The Dorne thing is garbage. I'm not gonna give up on this show...I feel like it will come back but hopefully it doesnt go down the drain the way the walking dead did.

Oh and in other news GOT's is so popular porn sites lose millions of viewers during the premiere.

[Xevious]

Not sure why people are complaining already. This first episode was setup. Aside from the continued Dorne mess, I'm excited to see where it goes. As far as the number of storylines, that's a symptom of the books as well. A Game of Thrones had eight perspective characters, A Dance with Dragons had thirty-one.

[Texas_Ranger]

welcome back.......

[Boogie Munster]

One of the best episodes of the series.

[gambit1990]

great episode.

[Xevious]

Shit... I hate waiting a week between episodes.

[TE]

A lot of moving parts introduced in episode 1 of this season. This episode got the series back on track with those parts. He's back!!!!

[Death In June]

Glad we went back to Pyke. Crows eye is awesome.

[InRareForm]

Now that's the GOT I remember. Great episode. Suspensful scenes all throughout

What happen to hodor?

That priest annoys the hell out of me.

Why was the dog shown so much in the revival?


So what do the dragons do now? Go find mama?

[~O~]

This show needs an episode every other hour and the actors need to be forced to act endlessly.

[Xevious]

There's a whole lot to soak in from this episode... spoilers obviously...

Interesting that Bran had a vision with Lyanna Stark in it. Of coarse he's more focused on Hodor, but I was more interested in Lyanna and Brandon. With Sansa heading to the wall, and Jon waking up (in what condition though, I was expecting to see him warg into Ghost with the way the camera was focused on him), hopefully we finally get some confirmation about Jon's parentage.

Tyrion telling the story about wanting a dragon as a child and unchaining them may have more meaning going forward. Many people have theorized that he becomes one of the three dragon riders eventually.

Ramsey just gets more and more twisted.

I'm interested to see where they go with the Greyjoys.

[Xevious]

Why was the dog shown so much in the revival?
I just read that Jon could have been warged into Ghost during his entire death, which is why he "wakes up" at the same time Jon does.


So what do the dragons do now? Go find mama?
Dont think they were released, just unchained.

Spoilers

I am not of fan of how they killed Bolton. After the red wedding, I wanted the Starks to get revenge. This is the second Stark killer to get killed in an unsatisfactory manner.

It was fitting I suppose, he was killed the same way he killed Robb. Roose was one of my favorite characters, though, I wish he would've went out on a higher note.

Snow vs Bolton, bastard bowl coming soon.

Shit that makes sense

[InRareForm]

I read that the season 1 trainer for Arya fighting uses the same movements as the chick that fights her when she is blind and a beggar.

[vander]

that seemed a little too easy: a sponge bath, a haircut, and some words is all it takes? she could be making millions raising people left and right.

also, why was everyone so sure this would happen? I read the books, I didn't see anything foreshadowing it...

[Holden_Caulfield]

got shit for praising ramsay :lol

[Xevious]

R + L = J is pretty much confirmed.
While it seems to be common knowledge amongst readers/viewers, I'm ready for Jon himself to find out and have the implications discussed. But like I said, it looks like they're moving in that direction.

Beric Dondarrion was resurrected multiple times similarly. But Melisandre was having a crisis of faith and I don't think even she thought it would work. And honestly, I doubt she did it on her own. I like the idea that Jon wargs back into his own body, so perhaps it's a combination of the two. Hopefully we find out next week.

[InRareForm]

What's r + l = j?

don't

What a tease. I didn't expect them to show the inside of the tower of joy this early in the season, but I hoped they would. It was cool seeing Arthur Dayne though, who was supposed to be the biggest badass around, moreso than Barristan or Jamie.

[313]

Episodes without Dorne are 2/2 so far

[gambit1990]

great episode. can't wait for the fight scenes that the mountain will be in.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Kinda bummed that we didn't get the full Tower of Joy scene this week but I should have expected it.

Arthur Dyane was awesome, I wish he would have used his sword Dawn though.

[JudynTX]

I'm really enjoying Tyrion and Lord Varys at the moment. Funny pair.

And I want High Sparrow to die a horrible death.

[InRareForm]

Is anyone really winning right now? Bunch of question marks everywhere..

Seems like the end game for queen of dragons and tyrion and Co. Is going to take forever.

Will have to come sooner than later. D&D supposedly want to shorten seasons 7 and 8 to end the show. If I had to guess, Dany wins (back) over the Dothraki people who will then march on and stabilize Slavers Bay. Then she'll be free to sail/fly to Westeros, probably just in time for the White Walkers to attack.

Jon is going to march on Winterfell this season probably. He knows now that the Nights Watch is fucked and he'll need to stabilize/unite the North before the WW attack.

What I can't figure out is how Arya fits into the endgame.

Between her becoming an assassin and the list it shouldn't be too hard to predict some of it.

[Xevious]

Some of it, maybe. But we aren't watching her train and become a faceless man for multiple years just to see her kill Cersei. There's more to it than that.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Sure but it's going to involve her assassinating all the people on her list Faceless Man style.

They probably won't attack the wall until winter is in full swing and they enter another long night.

[313]

Another great episode. Next episode looks fuego.

Lol @ D&D noticing that Dorne was shit and scrapping it. D&D makes more adjustments than Pop :lol

[~O~]

Well.......Khalessi just got fun again.

[InRareForm]

Lot of politics in Kings Landing. Looks like there will be some action in that region soon finally.

Little finger finally is seen.

lol did anyone really think ramsay was going to get stabbed there?

[Xevious]

Lot of politics in Kings Landing. Looks like there will be some action in that region soon finally.
I'm curious where that is going. Cersei's plan is only going to instigate violence, I'm sure. The entire region will be screwed and unable to provide aid when the whitewalkers do come.

It was nice finally seeing a Stark reunion. I liked that Sansa had to convince Jon to take action. Jon is disillusioned and confused, and Sansa has been nothing but a victom the entire series, so her having to be the strong one was a nice change.

[Brazil]

:lol

Also when are the white walkers coming back? I figured they would be the central theme of this season and would've been brought into the picture by now.

I have no idea tbh... I watch the stuff but don't bother trying to connect dots... I just discovered in this thread the R+L= whatever the fuck :lol

[leemajors]

leading by not dying in fires.

[Darius McCrary]

Danny's story with a blip of life. Let's see her actually fucking do something before the season is over.

Nice feels with Theon/Asha and Sansa/Jon reuniting.

The Vale is going to be in the equation in the end game now? wtf is going to happen with so many shitloads of armies marching everywhere.

:lol tbh...

[lefty]

I should start watching this show tbh

But only because of Peter Dinklage

[InRareForm]

Tonights episode supposed to be off the charts

[Thebesteva]

Interesting theory online...you know how Bran has these visions and screams father and his dad can hear him? The 3 eyed raven and him debate whether his dad actually heard him or not. Obviously Eddard did hear Bran...so what if the Mad king who heard ,"burn them" all the time wasn't mad at all and it was one of these travelers telling him to burn all the white walkers but it drove him mad? There's a bunch of theories that go into detail on youtube...makes sense.

[mFFL03]

An odd last "vision" by the three eyed Raven. Other than bran discovering he can manipulate the past, if that's truly what happened there.

[~O~]

You know what ruins the show? Social media. I like to be surprised and all this week, I ignored social media surrounding this show as much as possible. I'm actually even more satisfied after watching this episode of answers that the SHOW is suppose to give you.

Now, I should ignore thebesteva since he's coming up with all these theories that might be true.

Not sure about that one. Many of the Targs throughout history have been crazy as a result of their inbreeding, and many of them have had an obsession with fire, including the Mad King on both.

[Leebrix]

Hold the mother fuckin door

[vander]

I thought the dead couldn't go into that tree cave, the Bran crew already fought some when they arrived and they were supposedly safe in the cave. also, what was the tree people's plan? were they just happy to have some company? :lol
and LOL at Bran letting himself get grabbed, what an idiot.

[chunticakes]

Ghost :cry

[Darius McCrary]

Pretty cheap plot device with Bran not knowing he could have fucked the entire thing up going into his visions alone.

But poor Hodor :( So many feels for our fat friend.

They kill off Dire wolves with 1 seconds of screen time lol

[313]

Ghost :cry
Thought it was Summer

but still :cry

[Darius McCrary]

Thought it was Summer

but still :cry

Yeah Ghost and Nimeria are the only ones still alive.

So that Wolf's name was Summer? That's what reddit meant when it kept going on about 'the death of summer' lol. I was like wtf does that mean

[InRareForm]

How about the sister and bro Grey joys stealing the sea lambos

[elbamba]

GOT needs to drop the iron islands arc just like they did with Dorne. At this point, they need to focus on three places, The North, Kings Landing, and Daneryous war against the Slavers.

[angrydude]

GOT needs to drop the iron islands arc just like they did with Dorne. At this point, they need to focus on three places, The North, Kings Landing, and Daneryous war against the Slavers.

So you're saying drop the plot lines for the 2 kingdoms absolutely likely to side with Daenerys Targaryen when she comes to Westoros, but focus on her.

It's disappointing how much the fucked up the Greyjoy storyline. Obviously it's too late for this season, but I'm hoping it improves and isn't as bad the sand snakes. If it is, hope they cut it for next season.

Honestly would've preferred them not do it at all if they were going to rush it.

[InRareForm]

Little Finger looked shook when sansa spoke.

Jorah is the GOAT with the friendzone.

Jorah the Andals gonna tap that mother of dragons ass when he's cured imho.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

No way Bran and Meera escape without some sort of major help..... Possible Spoilers below!!!



















My guess is that we finally get the return of Benjen Stark. I think he is in the original trailer for S6 swinging the fireball (or whatever it is). IMDB (for what it's worth) also has the actor that plays Benjen listed for Ep6.

[Thebesteva]

So if a slut smells bad...is she a Hodor?

I wouldn't say they fucked up the iron islands storyline.
They ignored it, streamlined it.
The Dorne storyline, however, was really really fucked up.

Agreed. It looks like they are going to do another rushed storyline with the Tarleys in the next episode. I love the show but if they are really serious about wrapping it up in 15 episodes after this year (which I doubt they willl) then they do not need to add even more characters from the books.

[InRareForm]

^ it's like making fun of a rare luxury car and saying the side door handles look weird. the show is great overall, calm down

[FkLA]

Is Dorne really 'scrapped' though? I think the Lannisters are simply focused on the high sparrow right now. I doubt Jamie and Cersei will just forget that their daughter was murdered.

I'm sure it'll come back in at some point, but time is limited if the 7th and 8th seasons really are shorter. D&D seem to be picking and choosing which secondary storylines they focus on each season. The problem is, now the Greyjoy stuff is happening so late. How in the hell are they supposed to create a fleet that large in such a short amount of time? I'm sure it was necessary for budget reasons though. It can't be easy with all the different filming locations, cast, crew, etc.

Oh, and hold the door. :cry

Don't think u can force someone to be ur Champion in a TBC. One must either volunteer or accept an offer to become one.

[Xevious]

Seeing flashes of the Mad King "burn them all" was cool. I want to slow down that part and see everything. There was a whole lot of images flashing around.

I have to wonder though, what was the point of Arya messing around with the faceless men for one and a half seasons if she just up and leaves? So she can be a trained fighter/assassin?

And Tommen is a jackass. Now the church has the crown in their back pocket.

[Xevious]

i bet the trial by combat will be between The Mountain and Tommen.
I think it's obvious who the other champion will be.

Who? Jamie?

[elbamba]

So you're saying drop the plot lines for the 2 kingdoms absolutely likely to side with Daenerys Targaryen when she comes to Westoros, but focus on her.

Dorne's history suggests that they are not likely to side with her. Maybe the iron islands but only if she would agree to marry Euron, which again is unlikely. She is more likely to concur Westoros with the armies she currently holds. Who in Westeros is likely to fight against her outside the Lannisters and Tyrells? THe Vale has yet to get in volved, the North and the riverlands appear to be nuetral at best.

[elbamba]

Who? Jamie?

SPOILER







The Hound most likely.

I'd imagine she kills the other chick and they take her face instead

[Boogie Munster]

I think it's obvious who the other champion will be.

Technically, since Tommen gave into the Faith, the Kingsguard is a part of the Faith. Which means, Cersci can't choose the Mountain/Robert Strong as her champion. So the Tommen move complicates a lot.

[InRareForm]

Good episode tbh..

Next few episodes should have some battles

[313]

Ep was good but it had potential to be much better.

Best:

Olenna x Cersei back and forth was incredible.
Margaery scenes were wild. The dialogue with her and the Sparrow was fire.
Although we didn't get the broken man speech, Mcshane smashed his scenes with Sandor. Was very different to what we usually expect from the show.
Jaime http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/Smileys/default/HWaQd6Z.png siege of Riverrun was dope. Having Bronn with Jaime is a great change.
Lyanna Mormont was great


Ehh:

I'm honestly not really connecting with Jon and Sansa campaigning in the North. I don't know, it just feels kinda http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h443/jackflag1/GIFS/39-Jay-Z-Ehhh.gif

Jon and Sansa really seem like they have no wits when they were bargaining with the Glovers and Mormonts.


We know Arya isn't going to be dying in Braavos, so idk why they would make her take 3 stab wounds that would kill 99% of the population. Rubs the Faceless men the wrong way too imo

I'm not the biggest fan of the Yara and Theon plot. I really wished that it was Euron sailing to Meereen, which would've made him seem like a genuine threat. Euron is literally the devil in the books with powers to control dragons and raise krakens.
The next villain evolution from Joffrey to Ramsay to Euron.
He's on Charizard status.

[lefty20]

They've also screwed up the Arya's character. IIRC, her kills in the book were surgical, but in the show they've been just been sloppy. I'm talking about that brothel kill, not only was she seen by a lot of ppl but the kill it self was terrible. She's suppose to be Jason Bourne/Nikita in training. Showrunners need to get their shit together.

[JudynTX]

Is it just me or have the last few episodes been boring? :( I feel an ending like The Sopranos coming. FML

LOL Agents of Shield

[elbamba]

I am not getting how next week's episode is supposed to be some huge battle. Where are John Snow and Sansa getting an army? They have maybe 4,000 soliders, most of whom are untrained wildlings.They will need the Vale and hopefully an Umber turncloak to win the battle. Perhaps they will be more successful with the Mandaley fmily like the book, but the show did a lousy job setting that up if this is the case.

[JMarkJohns]

The show has been pretty lousy of late.

So the payoff for almost two whole seasons in Bravos is Arya killing The Waif off camera, then walking out on Jaqen? Well, I guess the payoff was her impressive ability to cope with a belly full of stab wounds delivered by a master assassin, and her Wolverine-like ability to just shake them off and run a medieval obstacle course.

And RiverRun? What the Fuck was that? No fight? No help for asana/Jon?

And Mereen continues to be the location of wasted characters.

You bring back Benjin to save the all important Bran, then nothing.

Even the Mountain scene was shitty.

Total letdowns.

the axe part was good, but yeah i dunno wtf was going on with riverrun

[JMarkJohns]

The Hound was great. Even the comedy of the hanging.

But everything else, even if the buildup has been great, it has fallen flat.

[InRareForm]

Very much of letdown episode with lazy outcomes with stories that were so dense before (Arya for example)

[FkLA]

Is there sexual tension between Jaime and Brienne or just friendship? Kinda weird since she's like 6'5" tbh.

The next episode looks like it's going to be badass.

[Big Dog]

:lol I like how all the edgy hipster posters are being critical of this season. This season has been great. The build up has been great. Only thing I'm taking issue with is all the time spend on The Hound with that weird little gathering of people..other than that I can't take that much issue with anything else.

I think that was done mostly to give Al Swearengen some screen time. It's too bad they killed him off that same episode.

I like the Deadwood reference. Truth is in that entire episode he was made out to be an old dog on his last legs. That entire episode featuring scenes with him its like he didn't belong :lol..guy made a guest appearance on one episode but truth be told he could probably displace some of the current cast.

[JMarkJohns]

This season has not been great. It's had a few great episodes, but has been very disjointed and has misused/squandered multiple main characters.

Episode 7 was incredibly strong. Episode 8 was a resounding thud.

I don't care to go into everything the last episode undid, or failed to do, but it represents the culmination of multiple stories, some many seasons long, and almost all were abject fails.

[JMarkJohns]

N76HMUwvFU8

This does a pretty good job of explaining disappointment, including brief discussion how many of the story lines were multiple seasons long.

Also hints at larger disappointments and absurdities of this season, like the stupid fucking sand snakes.

Writing has gotten very lazy. Characters mostly suck, and plot lines either extend too long, are snuffed out too soon, seemingly disappear (what the fuck did ever happen to Dorne and the Sand Snakes?), and almost every building story line of the last two seasons has led to disappointment.

I know it's a complex story with complicated narratives throughout, but it really needs some simplification. The entire RiverRun scene could have been played out in a delivered Raven's note. Rickon has been a captive of Ramsey for how many episodes now? Have we ever returned to that potential fucked up hostage situation?

Hodor was the last conclusion of a building plot to hold any significance, or land any lasting impact on the viewers. Glad the Hound is back, but that is a just developing story, not end of one.

The last two seasons really have built to almost utter disappointment.

Even Jon Snow and Tyrion suck as characters now.

[Xevious]

I've liked this season actually, much better than season 5. The only thing that really disappointed me this episode was Arya and how she seemingly just brushed off multiple abdominal stab wounds and killed the waif off screen. And I still don't know what the point of her storyline has been the last two seasons.

The Riverlands stuff has been fine. I really liked Jamie and Brienne's scene together, I liked their characters the best when they were together. I also liked Arya and the Hound the best when they were traveling together. The Lannisters taking Riverrun by simply threatening Edmure and setting him free is very much in line with his character. Dude is a pussy and a fuckup.

I will agree though that the show should have minimized the storylines these last couple of seasons.

[JMarkJohns]

RiverRun is quintessential everything wrong with the show.

You have two epic characters, one of legend, one well fleshed out, facing off for important play, who have an incredible opening scene, effectively promising a payoff. The story is extended further than it needs when rather than a payoff built up by initial conflict, something is just simply resolved, and, increasingly, it's resolved off screen.

I'm fine if the dude pussies out. But they built him up to brave death just the episode earlier. He had a knife to his throat and nary a budge.

So, stop it with the 180-degree character changes.
Stop it with the wasting of significant characters.
Stop it with the extended story arc.
Stop it with the passive or bland payoffs for promised conflict.
Stop it with the off screen deaths of significant characters.

They purposefully drag out narratives and seemingly just let the plot whither.

[JMarkJohns]

Above all, just stop wasting time. I really feel like almost all of the last three seasons could have been trimmed and fit in about 12-15 episodes.

So much useless filler. Too many extended plots for no reason or no actual payoff.

The difference in A Game of Thrones and A Dance with Dragons is pretty drastic. Eight perspective characters vs almost twenty. Most of what happened in the last two books was just to waste time and allow for characters to age and the dragons to grow up.

True, but both are less compelling than they used to be.

[elbamba]

In the books, Edmure had a reason to turn Riverun over to the Lannisters. Jamie told him specifically that they would first send all the houses that fought for the Tullys for the initial assault on the castle. The extreme loss of their bannerman was what made Edmure hand over the castle. However, in the book, Edmure tricks Jamie because the Blackfish is able to escape. I am okay with killing the Blackfish but I hate how they make it look like Edmure was a traitor against his uncle.

[FkLA]

Too many tough critics on the internet. The battle of the bastards and Daenerys returning with her dragons as the masters are about to attack should make for a solid end to the season imo.

I thought the white walkers would play a bigger role in this season but I guess it makes sense to bring them into the picture slowly since it will take a united Westeros (including Daenerys) to take those fuckers on tbh.

No one ever complains about the big episodes with big battles, etc. It's more that you can just look at the episode numbers and pick which ones will be boring af, tbh

[Spurminator]

If someone's shooting arrows at me while I'm running away, I typically try to run in a zig zag pattern.

[vander]

had to skip through most of the first 11 minutes, soo boring.

glad Little Finger is finally back in the plot. I always thought He and Varys would be major players for the good team, but then he disappeared... Varys hasn't been doing much either

[Thebesteva]

If someone's shooting arrows at me while I'm running away, I typically try to run in a zig zag pattern.

Was thinking the same thing...if you die by an arrow from 300 yds away then ur a fag

[elbamba]

Solid episode. I wish they had spent more time building up Jon Snow recruiting the North and less time on Riverrun. But maybe next episode we will get an unexpected payoff in the last episode.

The preview showed Walder Frey making a toast with a Fray and Lannister sending their regards comment so I suspect there could be an assasination taking place. My money is on the Blackfish dying like he was suppossed to die. On screen and avenging his house.

[Xevious]

Where was Ghost during all that?

Anyway, don't have a whole lot to say... awesome episode, though the "Saved By The Vale" moment was predictable. Even the music was excellent. I usually don't rewatch individual episodes, but I probably will rewatch this one in a few days.

Episode 10 is supposed to run long, something like 69 minutes.

[Brazil]

Great episode tbh

[InRareForm]

Easily top 3 episode of series tbh. Battle episodes are high quality.. You can tell they spent a large amount of time trying to perfect it

[HarlemHeat37]

Great episode..seems like they're going all-in on episodes 9 and 10, tbh..

That may have been the first time the Daenarys + Dragons scenes didn't look corny, btw(although I still dislike her:lol)..

[Darius McCrary]

Danny flying around on the dragon just holding two of his spines is probably the fakiest most nonbelievable part this show has ever had. LOL. And that's saying something.

The battle of the bastards was legit except they completely misused Wun Wun. If you have a fuckin giant--give him a tree to swing around or something. Or some rocks to chunk at people. Smh.

[elbamba]

I wanted to see him pick up a horse and take out a row of the bolton soldiers. Give him a couple of dead horses from that wall and watch him break that trap.

[JudynTX]

Best war scene I have ever witnessed on a TV show. :tu

Good points actually. At Hardhome he was swinging a flaming log at the wights. Had he just had a club of some kind, he could've smashed through that wall of shields pretty easily. And if I'm the Boltons, I'd pummel the shit out of him with arrows while he's trapped in the circle.

[Boogie Munster]

Hosting the finale at a private screening this time around at the Park North Drafthouse. We have about 30 seats left. If anyone is interested in going, shoot me a PM.

[Spurminator]

Well that was just about a perfect episode of TV.

[hehateme]

Damn good episode. Guess the rumors haven't been wrong so far so I assume the third is Tyrion.

[313]

:worthy: great episode

but lol @ the Varys and Arya teleportation

[Big Dog]

Best episode of the series. The last three have been nothing short of amazing.

[Big Dog]

So Daenery's forms an alliance with Dorne and Tyrell..with her target being what's left of King Landing. Jon Snow gets the unanimous nod to be proclaimed as King of the North..only for Little Finger to obviously be disapproving. I cannot believe we have to wait almost an entire year to watch this show again.

[vander]

finally! that resolved a lot of plot lines that were growing tiresome.

[InRareForm]

Now that's how a finale is supposed to be.

GOT used a play from the leftovers show... using dramatic music.

[resistanze]

lol @ King's Landing

[Thebesteva]

Basically this season came down to the Hodor episode + the last 2 episodes. Still was an epic season imho...love the show...ok now back to my pinoy nurse life

On the after show they mentioned it's possible Jon snow could be the offsprjng of the mad king

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Killing Margaery tempered the otherwise gratifying death of the sparrows.

Still trying to figure out how Varys got from Dorne to the deck of that ship.

Figured Lyanna and Rhaegar were Jon Snow's real parents for some time now.

[Thebesteva]

Remember how the psychic witch (frog) told Cersei as a child your 3 children will die tragically before you...then a beautiful young queen will conquer you after you take the throne and your younger brother will choke you to death.

I think its obvious whats going to happen...Cersei thought she was being replaced by Margary Tyrell but its really Danaeyrs who is coming for her and will take over the iron throne. The only question is will it be Jamie who strangles her to death or Tyrion? Jamie is her twin but she has mentioned shes older as she was born first...would be a pretty epic twist and Jamie doesnt look happy about her taking over the iron throne

[Xevious]

I think it would mean a lot more for Jamie to kill her, for several reasons. But I also wouldn't be surprised if Arya kills her. In any case though, the actress is signed on through season 8, so I don't think Cersei will die soon.

[Xevious]

Cersei is going to have to do some serious scheming to survive though. Daenerys' army plus the Martells and Tyrells is going to be too much for the Lannisters to combat. I also expect the Tarlys (Sam's family) to throw in with Daenerys also as they fought on the Targaryen side during Robert's rebellion and are located in the South.

[FkLA]

That little lady Mormont is a badass. I hope she grows up to be a major player.

I also haven't read the books but my guess is all the houses will have to focus on the white walkers before they do major damage to each other fighting amongst themselves.

[FkLA]

On the after show they mentioned it's possible Jon snow could be the offsprjng of the mad king

For a second as I was watching the flashback scene I thought there might be some incestous shit going on between Lyanna and Ned. Then I remembered that r+l=s stuff. :lol

[elbamba]

The question is who is going to fight for the Lannisters. I suspect season 7 will be all about bringing down their house and building up to the war with the white walkers. Season 8 will likely be one big war. Still disappointed they didn't give a better end to the Black Fish. Frey even mocks this by stating that he died by the hand of foot soldiers. The King of the North had to be one of the best scenes in the series. I thought the lead in from the flashback to all the houses pledging loyalty was nothing short of TV excellence.

Hopefully not...she is the 2nd worst villain in the entire show next to the night king. Though I really liked Ramsay because he was the perfect bad guy for Jon Snow

[Spurminator]

Am I the only person who thinks Lady Mormont is a silly character?

I feel like everybody's cheering "good job" like it's a Christmas pageant or something. It's not that the character or the actress is bad, I just don't get the enthusiasm either.

[HarlemHeat37]

^^:lol she fits in well in the world of GOT, though, tbh..

I've never understood how people can cheer for the Starks, outside of Jon Snow and Arya..they are sooooo corny, particularly Ned and his wife + Robb..I cringed when I read those theories regarding Catlyn Stark returning as a zombie or whatever..I'm really hoping they don't implement that storyline in the show, she was the shittiest character on GOT IMO..

[Reck]

Sercei won't last 3 episodes as "the queen."

If the rumors are true and there are only 14 episodes left, they cant fuck around trying to depose her. My prediction is Dayneris will get to Westeros and wipe the floor with her small ass army, take over the throne and every other house will rally behind her to try and take out the Knight's King army which would be the last battle.

It'd be fucked up if they spend all 7 or so episodes trying to get to Westeros and have the last season rushed with the last arc.

[InRareForm]

They should make prequels to the show... sort of like what better call saul does with breaking bad.

[Xevious]

^ Daenerys will be in Westeros on the first episode. But I dont expect her to sack Kings Landing that soon, maybe by the end of season 7, with season 8 being the battle for the dawn. How will Euron Greyjoy fit in I wonder though.

I assume he's still alive to find a way to help humanity conquer the Walkers, likely the process for valyrian steel en masse. He stole his dad's sword. Gotta be some sort of link.

[JMarkJohns]

There's at least 2/3 episodes of filler content anyways every season. Sometimes literal episodes. I'm fine with fewer for stronger effects, streamlined plot.

[Xevious]

I just hope there's enough time to decompress after everything is done, so that we can see where all the (surviving) characters end up.

[Reck]

I'd be down with the 6 or 7 episodes per seasons but at least make them an hour long, not counting previously on and main theme which sucks like 5 or 7 minutes. If actual content measures up to 60 or so minutes then that can make up for the lack of the rest of the episodes.

Even still, was not a fan when Mad Men and Breaking Bad did it. Waiting a whole year for 6 or 7 episodes is tough. Specially since I dont follow them week by week. I wait until the season ends to watch them as a batch.

[Xevious]

That would make sense as well, save for not being burned by fire also proving blood lineage.

Jon burned his hand in season one while throwing that lamp at the wight, so I don't think that's it. Plus most Targs are not really immune to fire.

I think it's possible that Sam finds records of a secret marriage between Lyanna and Rheagar, legitimizing Jon's name. Polygamy was fairly common practice for Targaryens, as was incest. Or it could simply be that he finds ways to make Valyrian steel, dragon glass, and/or wild fire to fight the whiye walkers.

[Reck]

That would make sense as well, save for not being burned by fire also proving blood lineage.

How would that make sense?

There were only 2 people...3 people when you include the girl that helped birthed Jon in the tower and we know Ned didn't say a word of what happened there. So I find it hard to believe and think that this encounter would be recorded in history by any meisters.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

I don't think they have to prove his lineage to anyone i think it's more about fulfilling the prophecy, if no one ever finds out I don't think it really matters who the heir to the throne is when everyone is dead. I doubt either Dany or Jon sit on the iron throne when it's all said and done.

Can't fucking wait..

Four spin-offs? I love me some GoT, but that's a bit much. Hopefully that are just picking from the four treatments on which project to move forward with. Or may they will be mini-series?

Jesus Christ I can't type for shit on this phone.

As I understood it they won't be run at the same time. It will be parsed if indeed they even go with 4. They're definitely doing at least 2 of them. One being Martin's own project.

Most likely the Dunk and Egg series.

[Spurs da champs]

Hopefully they do a series revolving around the Mad King era.

So GRRM said in this blog that they are actually working on five pilot scripts... and none of them are about Robert's rebellion or Dunk and Egg. Every one of them takes place before Game of Thrones though.

Why not chronicle the history of the most prominent families? Targaryans, Starks, Lannisters, Tyrells, etc. I'd watch that, tbh.

I wonder if the ransom fags are gonna try and extort HBO for the new season..

I found Season 3 at an estate sale, Recky. I've never watched this series at all. Would I enjoy such?

Do you like seasons 1-2 of House of Cards? If so yes.

The early seasons of Game of Thrones are heavy with politicking and plotting. If you're OK with blood, nudity and heavy betrayal than watch. The backstabbing on this show is not done metaphorically.

Why are you starting with season 3 though. It will ruin some major stories.

That's what I found at that sale. I'll just wait and see if I can find the first two seasons around town now that I have a stake in it.

That never works for me. Sittin' here at the desktop watching TV is untenable. I even have a TV ready CPU, but, I disconnected it from the cable. Very tedious. I have to have my couch & Lazy Boy.
