Just seems like a gimmick to kill and bring people back-- trying to prepare myself for fail tonight. I have high hopes for this episode but a little tempered after Arya's plot progression-- still bitter
yeah the resurrection and face changing are my least favorite elements of the show and, imo, the least deftly handled elements of the book.
and i have a terrible feeling that we arent done with them, and 'arya' is going to just show up at winterfell to fall into sansa's arms and end up knifing her mid-embrace before pulling off her arya mask and being all TWAS THE WAIF ALL ALONG, *ACTING* because oh my god this show honestly.
I hope I'm not over stating this but this is the most important night in the series since the Red Wedding. At 10:00 EST people are either going to be freaking the fuck out about how this is the best series ever and going ape shit over the fact that there are only 14 episodes left in the greatest show in the history of the world.....
Or.....
The episode will suck and this will be the day that music died.
I'm optimistic, but it's 60/40 at best.
im actually not entirely not dreading these next 2 eps.
you better not say one god damn thing, tine
Need to take it all in. Kind of confused as to how they got pinned in like that.... I mean the fight had to have a gimmick but it just made little sense to me.
Quick question though..... Has there ever been such a big GOT episode where 99.9999999% of us saw all of this coming?
Good episode - I'm happy.... But it was missing the GOT what the mother fuck moment.
Actually sat through a whole episode for once and thought it was awesome.
When Snow, Davos, and the wildling fellow were discussing strategy, they specifically talked about not letting that happen, I think, and the wildling had no real idea what they were talking about. Didn't know what a flank was, or pincer movements were, none of that.Quote:

Also tune in next week for a bunch of Kings Landing faggotry that means absolutely nothing in the long run, at all.
Lord Robyn needs to get hitched to the lady of Bear island.
RIP Wun Wun. You will be missed.
:laterfag:
Definitely the downside of the episode was the predictability. However, I'll take completely telegraphed over completely cheesy, which it could have definitely been based on the back half of this season.Quote:

So called this on page 29. I even knew that there would be some last minute reinforcements, granted, I didn't know who, but I knew that's how it would play out.Quote:

and lol at Jon Snow gone full Connor McCloud out on the battlefield. How the fuck does he not scream 'Fight me damn you!' there?
So my grand prediction on the season ending is "the secret" is the wild fire storages from the Mad King days are still in Kings landing and the whole place gets burnt to the ground this week taking the faith and the King with it. This also squares the circle because it fulfills the prophecy of Tommen droping dead and clears the way for the "real" final battle of Walkers vs Human.
good to see jon made such good use of his wolf there.
the arya question is so open ended and insane, there is literally no longer an arya end game scenario where the writers didnt stone shit the bed.
either shes still arya, in which case the scene in braavos was a total bedshit, or shes now waif and on a mission to kill sansa, probably hired by cersei, in which case the scene in braavos was still a massive bedshit but so was the totally needless scene in the temple where she apparently cut off her old face and put on aryas.
and why would she do that...? it gains her no advantage at all and turns every aspect of the story into a Fallout 4 'is she human or a synth' question.
yeah its just a bed made of shit at this point.

lol at the director just being like "WAIF DIED, DEAL WITH IT"
This whole storyline is to me, a dead end. I mean all this shit she went through has to be for a higher purpose, but it really seems like a girl has no plot line.Quote:

She has some very cool, cold blooded parts in the books but i never saw her as more than average as far as the POVs go. Jamie/Davos/Tyrion were much better imo.Quote:

LegalizeMeth: it was a great episode stop nitpicking
this is not entirely untrue.
Enjoyed the episode despite the predictability. Tormund NOT dying was the only surprise for me, I suppose theyre saving him so he can make insane viking babies with Brienne.
Obviously the repeated whining about the 6k men vs only 2k was to build up LF showing up, but still it ignores the fact YOU HAVE A FUCKING GIANT. He's gotta be worth at least a thousand men.
Also, ya the repeating themes this year by the lazy writers are just lulz.
jorah/davos finding things in the middle of the field
hodor/wunwun having their final moments with a door
I enjoyed the episode but the series is starting to play out in a Walking Dead kinda way. We have had a lot of build up that needs a payoff so the writers are obliging. Just from a pure film making POV I thought the battle scene with Jon Snow drowning in the bodies was excellent.
i feel, strongly, that either the writers are just totally fucking retarded at this point, or arya is actually waif and shes going to open up sansa's throat at cersei's behest.
true story; the European Regional Development Fund actually cofunded GoT's production.
post-Brexit, their further support is basically unlikely.
given that HBO's budget for GoT is laughable to begin with, i wouldnt expect many dragons in the next 12 hours of footage.
seems way overly pessimistic, considering the bulk of the tapings aren't in the UK anyway. I'd imagine its not too hard to find a proper area in the republic of ireland to film the Winterfell and/or kingsroad stuff they still need to film. everything else is in other EU countries already, so I doubt they cut the entire thing just to spite England, they'll simply move what they have to to greener pastures.Quote:

I think this season has showed us the writers are on level 1 and plot twists/theories are not happening. The arya plotline, noncleganebowl, shaggydog being dead/umbers fighting for bolton are all good examples imo. Its time to look at this show through a much different lens and just enjoy it for what it is i guess.Quote:

I can't start thinking of this show in that manner-- you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube
What I get most out of this clip is that Leslie Jones should be hosting the Seth Meyers show.
