Game of Thrones - 14 minute preview

[Reck]

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.

Season 3 is among the best of the series so I guess starting there is not bad at all.

[SnakeBoy]

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.

Just join netflix dvd for $4.99, they have all seasons on disc. Cancel when you're done.

I heard they block the special features and such. A friend of mine has the DVD thing and he has said that most DVDs come with just the movie or episodes stripped of it's extra content.

That sounds about right. All I remember them having as far as special features was a map like thing showing which houses were which and info about their history.

6 hours!

7 Episodes. I'll eat that for breakfast.

I'll wait until the season wraps to watch. The wait wont even be that long.

[InRareForm]

-ed sheeran wtf lol

- great opening..... "tell them, winter came for the frays"

- the Hound scenes were great

[spurraider21]

it was fine... first episode needs a lot of setup, but they did nothing for dany except "oh hey, here's this big uninhabited castle you can use as a fortress!" no development there really

cersei going through the trouble of inviting euron and then quickly turning him down like that seemed weird, but the books give a pretty good hint about what his "gift" will be

reek lol. i guess he made the right move imo.

what was the point of dorne throughout the whole series.. now nothing confirmed.

grandma tyrell always has great lines: Act like a dragon

[spurraider21]

that battle scene was pretty vicious, but too much rapid editing for my liking. quite the contrast from following jon's scene in battle of the bastards

[BD24]

What a fucking terrible ending to the episode last night. Jesus the show is really starting to go down the shitter. GGR martins fat ass needs to finish the series before his fat ass dies tbh

Terrible in what way? Season 6 was solid, and I've seen nothing so far these first two episodes that make me think it won't continue to be (season 5 being the obvious low point). GRRM seems intent on doing anything be can to not finish the books. I don't expect Winds of Winter until the show is over and done with.

Makes sense though. Fighting in close quarters in the dark with fires/explosions happening all around, the editing helps make it feel more frantic.

I'm glad Yara didn't die. I like her. Was hoping for a lesbian scene w her and Mama Snake

fair point tbh

[redzero]

This show might have overtaken Breaking Bad and The Wire as my favorite show ever. The spoilers for this season sound amazing, especially in episode 6.

[Xevious]

My one complaint is that things are moving so fast right now. Characters are zooming all over the continent within the same episode. I know we are to assume that days/weeks have taken place, but they make it feel like Jamie is having breakfast in Kings Landing, and sacking High Garden at dinner time. And with everything that needs to happen with so few episodes left, I'm afraid we're going to be left with an unsatisfying ending. I would like some time for things to decompress so we can see where the surviving characters end up once the series ends.

[Reck]

Cant believe next week we'll be halfway through this season. Insane

Capped by a 2 year break to boot. Damn.

I like that it's moving fast. Major complaint of the entire series was how damn long everything was taking. Especially that bitch Danny and her dumb ass dragons.

I was dreading last night's episode that most would be spent watching Jon do nothing on the way to Dragonstone. The episode beginning with him already there had me in relief. Show is moving faster and resolving threads at a great pace now that they're not confined to fat fuck Martin's books.

I think it has more to do with Dan and Dave being tired of working on the show. They're ready for it to be over.

[Xevious]

Next episode will have a battle betwwen the Lanisters and Dothraki/Dragons that should rival Battle of the Bastards in scope.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Them and most viewer that've been on board for the long haul.
That's why I'm glad they're finally wrapping up story lines.

[lefty20]

A slower paced show would've meant filler episodes, which are a complete waste of the production budget and time(actors and ours). It's better this way.

[Xevious]

Good points, it's just a little jarring having Euron, Jamie, Varys, etc literally travel the continent within a single episode when they had been so intentional in showing the size and distance of the globe before a couple seasons ago. At the same time though, you have the Hound, Bran, and Arya taking two plus episodes to get around, it just depends on the needs of the story I guess. I am happy that they're spending more budget dollars per episode now though with less filler.

[BD24]

Fucking christ this season just gets worse and worse.

There is so many plot holes at this point that the story is like swiss cheese. Very very poor storytelling. I suppose most people don't notice and care about that sort of thing though. Hopefully fatty finishes the books at some point so I can forget about this abomination.

Its like a terrible carwreck, you just cant look away.

I'm not ready to go that far, but there is a definite "let's just get this shit over with" feel to it.

my only question is where is gendry? last we saw him he was in a rowboat leaving dragonstone.

they had the perfect opportunity to bring him back and row theon to safety after escaping euron's attack

Certainly seems headed that way.

They may also hold off to have an epic battle with the walkers. War goes to a stalemate with neither army wanting to waste itself against the other.

My gut says the walkers will breach the wall, and start heading south, and with it, winter will come, even to the southern climates, which will freak everybody out.

cirsei will fall at some point, as they have already shown the Throne room in ruins, with snow falling in a hole in the roof, if memory serves.

Series will end with a grand alliance against the walkers.

[RandomGuy]

I'm glad Yara didn't die. I like her. Was hoping for a lesbian scene w her and Mama Snake

My guess:

Yara is being kept alive to be installed as queen of the Iron Isle, IMO.

Her uncle will be killed by Cersei in some sort of betrayal.

What she does after being given the Iron Isle... that is something I would not care to guess at.

i think theon redeems himself, gives his life to kill euron and save yara

I kind of want to watch the leak of the new episode, but the quality is shit. I'll wait for Sunday.

[redzero]

I caved in and watched the episode,and it's the first time in seven seasons that I was able to fully appreciate the power of Dany's dragons, and that probably has to do with the fact that I'm invested in the fight at the climax. Drogon is terrifying. The Lannisters immediately lost their shit when he started lighting them up.

My only question is why didn't Dany bring Rhaegal and Viserion? She rode Drogon herself, so there is no point in leaving the other two at Dragonstone. If she dies, the other two would either just fuck off somewhere else or start terrorizing Westeros. But that's a minor gripe.

easily a top 10 episode of the series.

arya was a boss that episode. she has so much confidence and dgaf

amazing visual effects.

how does jamie get so lucky all the time.

[BD24]

The battle scene at the end was pretty great, I do call bs on Bron and Jamie living though.

Lets be honest, both of them niggas should have burned to death at some point in the battle. A pretty dull episode outside of the battle scene, but the battle scene made the rest of the episode worth watching.

[TE]

Was an epic battle scene. Now the question I have is: how many of the dothraki did this cost Daenery's? The title of the next episode is "blood of the dragon". So, yeah, either Daenery's or one of her dragons shed blood (or die)...or something else that I read by fucking up with my own curiosity.

You didn't read thoroughly enough, because neither Daenerys nor her dragons get hurt next episode, if the leaks are true.

Im assuming Rhaegal and Viserion are not there because they decided to use the CGI money in future episodes. Same reason we rarely see Ghost.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

For a bunch of scared ass Lannister's they sure held their ranks decent enough after seeing a Dragon for the first time burning people nearby to a crisp.

I would have expected to see some people flee in terror and lose their shit. For the most part, gotta give Lannister army and Jaime credit.
Dragon's are so cheap lol, what would the Targaryen's do without being so damned lucky with the dragons...

Glad Jamie and Bronn are okay, woulda been pissed if they died.

That "your people can't fight" line was supposed to be sad for Tyrion... but what did that Dothraki expect the Lannisters to do when they were already spread thin, and then ambushed by a horde of Dothraki and a fucking dragon?

That was probably the first battle on GoT that I wasn't sure who was supposed to be the "good guy". While the Lannisters have always been antagonists, I like Jamie and Bron and it was kind of sad seeing all those soldiers roast inside their armor. I got goose bumps when Jamie heard the dragon roar for the first time.

There was no plot armor for Robb Stark or Ned Stark now was their? Both far more popular characters than Jamie and Bron. Not to mention both far more important than Bron. I actually am a big book jamie fan btw. Show Jamie is ok though I suppose, they have made him far too much of cereseis bitch though.

Plenty of fan favorites have died in Game of Thrones. Its been a staple of the series. Since they have lost GRR Martins source material they have gone away from that.

Because they don't want to hurt the fans feelings :cry

lol no he doesn't. He burns Cersci letter before Brienne takes him to Zombie Cat. Could he be his own man and leave Cersci for good? Sure but there is no more material to prove that's the direction he is going. I enjoy what the show is doing with Jamie since he is way too far deep to go back now. He has nothing if he leaves Cersci. A brother who he'll kill next time he sees him, a dead father and mother, no hand so he can never be a knight and no worth in Casterly Rock. All he has left is to protect the kingdom and the woman he loves. And he's gonna betray one of those before the series is over.

You can't fault it when that's a storyline like Lady Stoneheart they are completely avoiding. Most likely because GRRM included it to mean dick at this point in the storyline.

It's not a weakness in the show as-is, especially when the seeds of Jamie's break from Cersei have been planted with that masterful Tyrell scene

I actually enjoyed a Dance with Dragons. A feast For Crows wasnt great though. Still better than the bullshit D&D have been putting out though. At least the plot still makes sense in the books even if its slowed down and seems at times that fat ass doesn't know where he is taking things or how he is gonna resolve some plotlines.

Thought FFC was incredibly dull. The fact that his editor allowed him to do 2 books at the same timeline, instead of condensing, which he should have done, resulted in basically 10 years with the storyline barely moving ahead. JMTC

As for Jaime my guess is that he will have a role to play in the coming war against the Walkers, after his sister gets croaked.

The most pirated show ever. Not only that but the plot leaks from months ago have been 100% spot on. There haven't been any surprises this season because I'm too weak to avoid the spoilers.

[chunticakes]

That episode was amazing.

[Xevious]

Night King OP as fuck, by the way.
Which is why I think all the dragon glass/valyrian steel business is not as important as they're making it seem. There aren't enough people in the realm to defeat the WWs in traditional warfare. Bran is going to end up doing some crazy to end the war, probably after most of the major characters have died already.

Holy shit. What an episode.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

I'll wait until a legit HD viewing.

I didnt like the episode. great effects tbh... but everything was just so forced. dumb strategy they did, but somehow it all worked out.

I enjoy more of the story that goes on south of the wall.. shrug.

[Xevious]

:lol Somebody on reddit did some math to determine how long the team would have to be stranded before they were rescued. Some of it was based on guess work (how far the team was from the wall, how fast dragons can fly, etc). But based on a roughly 2000 mile one way journey (according to most maps), the team would have to be stuck on that rock for greater than four days.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

The convenient plot devices are getting pretty bad

Anyone else think Veserion dying was kind of anticlimactic? I didn't get the feeling from Dany that she was pissed or mad or sad or anything that her child just got harpooned.
I would have expected a blood-curdling scream like Elaria Sand made after the Viper got bloaded

[tlongII]

It might be rushed, but it's still great. The Night King was awesome last night.

[Texas_Ranger]

I think this is one of the worst seasons of GOT. LOL Nightking. Why not kill the dragon that is closer to you and it has people on it? The writting in this season is pretty bad.

This season of Game of Thrones feels like fan fiction
https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/20/16125490/game-of-thrones-fan-service-jonerys-benioff-weiss-versus-grrm

I tend to agree but I'm still enjoying it. It's a very flawed but still fun season. Maybe if they'd done the full 10 episodes in each of the last two seasons it would improve some of the pacing and allow for more of the typical GoT pump-fakes.

I'm with this show til the end cuz have so much time invested but you can def tell they pandering to the masses now

[leemajors]

From the director of Beyond the Wall:


We were aware that timing was getting a little hazy. We’ve got Gendry running back, ravens flying a certain distance, dragons having to fly back a certain distance…In terms of the emotional experience, [Jon and company] sort of spent one dark night on the island in terms of storytelling moments. We tried to hedge it a little bit with the eternal twilight up there north of The Wall. I think there was some effort to fudge the timeline a little bit by not declaring exactly how long we were there. I think that worked for some people, for other people it didn’t. They seemed to be very concerned about how fast a raven can fly but there’s a thing called plausible impossibilities, which is what you try to achieve, rather than impossible plausibilities. So I think we were straining plausibility a little bit, but I hope the story’s momentum carries over some of that stuff.

[InRareForm]

[Xevious]

Yeah, some of the complaints are dumb (chains :lol ). But even the casual observer has to acknowledge the timeline issues we're having this season and the questionable logic with this capture-the-zombie plan. It would've played out better had Daenerys just decided to fly North to help out on her own, rather than waiting for Gendry and the raven.

[Xevious]

All in all though, even when season 5 and 6 passed up the books, I was convinced that the producers were following some rough outline laid out by GRRM with some necessary changes made for television. Now I feel like they may be completely on their own and have no idea how the story is going to end. And other than it feeling really fucking rushed, I can only place blame with GRRM. He supposedly has limited involvement with the show anymore so that he has more time to write the books... but he still has time to work with HBO on the spin-off(s).

Brandon Sanderson could probably do a better job finishing than he could, like he did with Wheel of Time and Robert Jordan.

[InRareForm]

why is george so slow with finishing the book?

[redzero]

Daenerys should stop listening to Tyrion, because every fucking plan he has had this season has been a disaster. This Wight Hunt plan was orchestrated by Tyrion, but lots of people are blaming Jon Snow for some reason. Jon just agreed to go along. If he is to blame, so are the other six he went with (and the red shirts).

The fat fuck takes forever with all of the books, it's pretty infuriating. I think e honestly made the story too complicated and is having trouble putting everything together.

As bad of job as the show writers have done without source material it isn't all on them. In fairness Martin basically said here is the end game, have fun trying to get there I've been working on getting there for the better part of a decade.

If fire kills the dead then how is the dead dragon going to breath fire without killing himself....plot hole.

[lefty20]

If fire kills the dead then how is the dead dragon going to breath fire without killing himself....plot hole.

Don't think this is confirmed, but the undead dragon will likely have the ability to flash freeze.

[BD24]

The undead dragon is gonna burn down the wall. That was the whole reason for the terrible plan to go north of the wall and catch a wight. They needed a reason to get the dragons north of the wall because they couldn't figure out how to get the army of the dead past the wall.

Edit: it doesn't seem like fire kills the undead btw. The undead bear got caught on fire and seemed completely fine, it wasnt until the sword/dagger to the dome that he went down

Not sure that was the intention, but it almost seemed like the whole thing was a setup by the Night King from the start to catch a dragon. It's obvious he has some greenseer abilities.

But yeah, the decision to go north at all was incredibly stupid by the group.

solid finale. Seeing all the characters together was awesome. Even through the possible end of the world, deceiving plans are being used.

[BD24]

I'm sure apa was beating his meat to this episode. Jon snow got to fulfill apas fantasy of fucking his aunt.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Kinda boring. Littlefinger's death was kind of anticlimactic at this point. The Stark girl feud was dumb to begin with, but the storylines been so weak that i got suckered in when originally we all knew littlefinger was being played.

I wanna punch Bran in the face.
Why couldn't he see that Raegar had his marriage with Martell annulled?
Jon was banging his Aunt while a dwarf eavesdropped.

[RD2191]

The whole take the walker to cersei plot was kind of lame. Why would they trust her at all when she's shown time and time again that the only thing she gives a fuck about is the iron throne? She blew up half the city for fucks sakes. Makes absolutely no sense.

[redzero]

Great finale. Best episode of the season, which was great overall. This season did the impossible: it made me like Daenerys. She needed Jon Snow to keep her ass in check for a while now. I don't understand how anybody can say that Jon and Dany lack chemistry; Emilia Clarke's acting is the best whenever Kit shows up on the screen. The characters have a lot more in common with each other than any other their previous lovers had.

My only gripe would be the Arya and Sansa scenes, except for the climax. I've seen Beyond The Wall several times, but whenever Winterfell pops up, I get on my phone. In hindsight, the scenes make sense because they were trying to set up Littlefinger--who had nothing to do anymore, honestly--but they still just made me hate Arya for being a c-word to her sister.


Why couldn't he see that Raegar had his marriage with Martell annulled?

Just because Bran can see everything in the past doesn't mean he has seen everything in the past. He didn't know about the annulment because he wasn't looking.

[RD2191]

Serious, would you smash the waif?

[DJR210]

Man, must have been really fun having dick to Khaleesi's pussy for that final scene, even if it was taped down..

Would have purposely fucked my lines up no less than 10 times tbh

[Trill Clinton]

my only gripe this season is that bitch cersai still living....but i understand he's one of the strongest characters so they just can't kill her off like that. but i was happy to see lord baelish finally get his bitch ass throat slit

[Xevious]

I also thought the finale was the strongest episode this season.

My main gripes about the season are the warp speed pace, the questionable logic surrounding the zombie hunt, and the Littlefinger storyline. I'm okay with Baelish dying. But the events leading up to it were crap. Plus the show broke narrative by having the audience in the dark as to Sansa and Arya's plan, and we were instead seeing things from Littlefinger's perspective.

[RD2191]

Serious, would you smash the waif?

Guess I'm the only one.

[Reck]

This season was the shit. Loved every episode of it. Didn't dissapoint.

My gripes, mainly on the last episode:

-Cercei is a dumb whore. She's a simpleton. Did you see that there were only 2 dragons? Huh?

She's deluded. I dont know where people think her character is smart in any way when really she has a really simple, narrowed view where she thinks she and her shitty army will win despite one other side clearly having a clear advantage.

:lol Gonna let them fight it out and then I'll reign. God....

-Bran's selective recalls.

Barely in the season and when he showed, he didn't lay it on thick on the exposition. Why did he let little finger hang around? And did it really take Sam to trigger him about Alyanna and Reaghar? Isn't he supposed to be in contact with the tree to see visions?

Seems like Sam told him and then he was like oh yeah, this and that.

-Little Finger being at Winterfell at all after the Starks were all there.

So I like little finger's character a lot but for someone as smart as he was, he didn't see the obvious?

First clue of "I need to get the fuck out of here" was when Bran used his own words when they first met and gave him the dagger.

Second clue was when she saw badass Arya sparring with Brianne. YOU'RE IN ENEMY TERRITORY, MORON. GET THE FUCK OUT!

And last..

-The Wall

So much for magic being a component of keeping the whole wall up. All it took was some blue dragon fire and it was a done deal. Not really down with how easy it was to bring it down.

RIP Turmond.

[Reck]

Guess I'm the only one.

You're not the only one scrah. She's hot...in a wierd way. One of those bitches who love anal probably.

[Reck]

By the way..here's a theory for you guys...

Tyrion is the one that has been betraying Dany on the low down. That last scene confirms it for me. That was creepy and out of place.

The wall is supposed to be magical and can only be brought down via some magical horn. I'm not totally displeased though because that whole sequence was a beauty to see, but I'm just going by what they tell in the books. Small nitpick on my part.

Bran is not omniscient. But he does have the ability to know everything. He just needs to put in the right keywords in the search box, I think.


Won't believe that Turmond is dead till I see his body.

[Xevious]

I still think the WW/army of the dead passing beyond the wall has to do with Bran's "mark", and melting the wall is much more efficient than digging or passing through the gates. The show has just done a poor job explaining this point, maybe there will be a line or two next season that clears it up.

And I agree with lefty20 regarding Bran's abilities. Just because he has access to everything doesn't mean he is actively looking at everything.

[spurraider21]

I think the wight dragon plot lends some credence to the bran = night king theory

Yes... He was Rhaegar's first son, killed by The Mountain. It's not really clear why that's Jon's name also other than the fact that it was an extremely popular name throughout Targaryen history and Lyanna probably had to chose the name on her own.

It's also possible Rhaegar wanted both of his sons to be named after Aegon the Conqueror, as he was obsessed with the prince that was promised prophecy.

my sister and bro in law hadn't watched the show, and all our cousins convinced them to get on the train in time for season 8. we all had a viewing party for ep 1 (and have had one for episode 9 of every season... just watched blackwater yesterday). i gotta say on a second watch-through you just catch everything. every little piece of conversation makes sense. helps that you're not overwhelmed by having to learn all the characters at the same time. also throughout the show the backstory/lore is dropped one hint at a time, and after having seen the whole show, you have a pretty good picture of it, so when you hear one guy mention a small tidbit and you know the whole story, its much more meaningful.

I had read all the books a couple of times before the show started, it was interesting to see what they skipped, included, and/or added as it went on. The last season felt pretty rushed but I was still entertained.

The books shit on the show tbh, but the books may never get finished either. GRRM fat ass probably gonna die of a heart attack before finishing the series.

The show was great for awhile, it got increasingly shitty the last few seasons, it makes sense though as they didnt have fatties source material to pull from anymore.

they still consulted with fatty to get his idea of how he thinks the story will end

some of the specifics (the plot to capture a wight) may or may not have been from fatty himself, though

Don't remember the season but the Dorne arc almost ruined the entire show for me. What a shit fest that was. They fucked it up bad.

Dorne arc was one of my favorites in the book. They really fucked it up with the bad pussy shit, a god damn shame

i chose not to nitpick and just enjoy a decently done fantasy show tbh. Martin's stuff was fairly unique when it came out but several other series are way better.

Agreed on the bolded part. Joe Abercrombies First Law series is much better than ASoIAF imo. If you haven't read it I would highly recommend it.

Honestly it isn't nitpicking with the last few seasons. They have been pretty poorly done and are riding off the success of the previous seasons.

That series has been on my tbr list for a while now. Hoping to squeeze it in sometime this year but we'll see.

I've never actually read the first two books of ASoIAF. I didn't even know that the show was based on books until after I started watching the show a week after season 2 ended. Went to B&N immediately after the s2 finale to pick up books 3, 4 & 5 and blistered through them within a couple weeks. Considering that was nearly 7 years ago my memory on the finer details of the books is pretty hazy right now.

Cool, I will check it out. My favorite is Robin Hobb's Realm Of the Elderlings series. The Rain Wilds portion is slow, but the rest are fantastic. I've reread them several times.

Tbh season 5 is when the show went off the rails and that had nothing to do with not having Martin's source material. They tried to streamline two long books into one 10 episode season and it didn't work. The Dorne arc being the worst offender. Season 6 was fucking good though I thought. And season 7 was just way too rushed, and that capturing a zombie storyline was asinine.

Same. But I stuck with it, and the show redeemed itself.
That short-haired one with the "Bad pussy" was hot AF, you gotta admit

Agreed, but it makes it more palatable if you accept season 7 as being a crowd pleaser. So much build up for so many years, we're finally getting what we wanted.

It’s a pretty quick read. I don’t remember any of the books being to lengthy, only 3 books in the series. Most importantly the series is already finished, no need to wait 10 years for the next book in the series.

i think season 5 was the worst of the show. dorne sucked. the sons of the harpy shit got tired. the house of black and white was surprisingly boring (except for the meryn trant scene).

only redeeming qualities were hardhome and tyrion/jorah plot with tyrion finally meeting daenerys . sparrows were hit and miss.

season 6 was a great rebound though

season 7 was a clusterfuck but was still action packed and overall fun to watch. more fan service than great writing, but i still enjoyed it.

want to expand on season 7 though... that shit was fun regardless of the writing flaws.

- dont tell me that seeing gendry again wasn't great. fucking davos was dropping memes when he said "i thought you were still rowing." then gendry picking up a warhammer instead of a sword.
- seeing dragons in combat for the first time (not counting the end of season 6 since that wasnt exactly a battle)
- euron's attack on the fleet, and theon throwing away his redemption arc was brutal to watch, but good writing tbh
- jon/daenerys interactions were very well done
- bran being a creeper was entertaining. especially when he dropped the chaos/ladder quote on littlefinger

i think there are two very valid criticisms

1) the arya/sansa tension. that never felt believable at all.
2) i'm NOT going to say its the whole plan to capture a wight, and the fact that ravens travel faster than the speed of light. because i dont give a shit, it led to one of the better spectacles and moments in the show. i'm ok with any shitty writing that leads us to the equivalent of seeing the avengers assemble. what i WILL criticize is that they completely fucked up a golden opportunity to do this. completely unforgivable in my book

Season 7 as a whole wasn’t great, but definitely had some great moments, I can agree with that. “Battle of the bastards” was a fun battle, watching that pos get what was coming felt nice, mainly because the show let his character become unbelievably powerful/smart.

Actually getting to finally see the dragons in battle was fantastic as well.

the wight hunt was one of the low points imo. I’m all for getting to a good battle scene, but that was just so forced and unbelievable that it was hard to enjoy.

it is nice to get to see a lot of the storylines wrapping up and the buildup of previous seasons finally paying dividends

battle of the bastards was season 6 tho, in the penultimate episode.

season 6 finale had daenerys dragons fucking up the slave cities, cersei blowing up the scept, and jon getting the king in the north chants thanks to the mormont mvp girl

Yea I couldn’t remember if it was 6 or 7 tbh. The Lannister army vs Dani’s army and dragons was great entertainment.

i forgot about the dumb cunt blowing up the sept tbh :lol. One of the dumber plot lines.

as much as I complain I will be watching every episode of season 8 tbh. I’m curious how it will end at this point especially since the books may never be finished.

The fact that noone in thirty years walked into the basement of the sept and noticed 1,000 cases of dragon fire. What's not believable about that?

I always interpreted that as they moved a hidden cache of dragonfire into that location for that specific plot. Maybe i was giving the show too much credit :lol

That's exactly what happened. King Aerys had dragonfire stashed all over the city as he was going to burn King's Landing down when it was invaded, which is what ultimately led to Jamie killing him.

wildfire not dragonfire noobs

I don't think the wildfire was just sitting around in plain sight for over twenty years, and Cersei just lit a match.

rewatching the series for the first time. a few episodes into the 5th season and the harpy shit is already drawn out.

The Danaeyrs plot should have been condensed and more time given to Westeros plots. Shit was taxing to get through at times.

yep, harpies were a drag

Curious to know why HBO hasn't released the title of each episodes yet. Dont know if this is how it's always been done but I dont think so.

Holy fuck. For some reason I thought we were a week or two away. I'm going to have to go into hibernation for a while to avoid spoilers. I'm going to be out of town for a while and I won't get a chance to start this until I get back (may try to wait until it's over).

There's also Endgame and Cobra Kai I have to watch.
