    that shark splash when ed sheeran's ridiculous face pops up tho.

    not a great episode but i get that they had to kickstart a lot of divergent plot lines and establish some sort of broad tempo. hoping we dont end up a stone skipping across a pond for the rest of the show. could happen.

    i get that we have to set things in motion but there are fucking 12 episodes left to wrap this shit up...even if all of season 8 is feature length im expecting shit to hit the fan pretty much non-stop from here on out. i am sure i will be terribly disappointed

    The first episode of most seasons has been pretty ho hum, so this wasn't surprising.

    I've been wondering how the Lannisters are going to compete, considering everyone was against them. And they somehow made the Iron Island guys an elite fighting force. I never read the books, but the show pretty much indicated that these people get their shit pounded in regularly.

    This. They went from the Ethiopian Canoe Navy attacking tankers to a fleet of US Navy battleships overnight. Probably a more believable avenue then having one of the families get back with the Lanisters but suspension of belief is definitely required here.

    "Ok men - winter is here.... what do we really need? Right-O a shit ton of dragon glass.... wonder where we can find some that? Definitely not where the mother of dragons just pulled up". Again have to move the story forward and fast but Jesus Christ.

    Sansa murdering Jon seems totally reasonable considering Jon's little 'you sound like you admire Cersei' quip, but I think its going to be something where Sansa sees that Jon is heading for ruin and simply fails to stop him, which is a very Littlefinger tactic.

    Somehow I also imagine Sansa on the Iron Throne, making a proper fucking mess of things, and Littlefinger slitting her throat then tearing off his face to reveal Arya, claiming revenge for Jon.

    But honestly havent we cashed the 'Jon gets fucked' check? It's all over the place that Jon & Sansa do _not_ get on this season but seriously there should be enough to work with here without Sansa going full kinslayer. That said, its all allegory for the War of Roses which had plenty of kinslaying, so who knows..

    I also wonder if the 'priceless gift' Greyjoy hands over is going to be some magical trinket (one in particular is featured prominently in the books), or Tyrian.

    not really a spoiler but based on rumor..:

     
    Ive heard that he captures Theon and/or his sister but whats the point there exactly? Who gives a shit about them.

    its nice to see literally everyone discuss how shitty it was to see ed sheeran was last night.

    im sure its going to be just as fucking retarded when conor mcgregor pops up on screen.

    Universally hated. I'm all for some celebrity fanboy being an extra in the show. If Taylor Swift wants on dirty her up and put her in the background of kings landing, no problem. That bit was faggotry in motion.

    I still have no idea how Arya fits in to the endgame here. Does she kill Cersei, then Jamie kills her, then Jamie dies...somehow? A "convenient" way to eliminate 3 characters?

    I've just always assumed she existed to cull the herd as the show progresses and provide some final act of vengeance in the closing scene.

    I kind of hope they just dgaf anymore and just have a giant battle where, at the same time, we see Clegane-bowl, arya sneaky kill someone, arya dies, whoever kills her dies....everyone dies...and now it's just Dany, Tyrion, and Snow riding dragons n burning white walkers.

    The preview about a porn and the mob show set in the 70s looked pretty good. Episode 1 was pretty good in my book. more of the same. But a damn fine show. The north remembers scene was good. Then she hooks up with a band of soldiers in the woods. No Middle Ages rape scene?

    Book nittery (and possibly wrong) but eurons guys are not your classic iron island fleet. Theyve been at sea destroying raping and pillaging for awhile now, afaik.

    Also ed sheeran deleted his twitter over this. Im so out of touch i didnt notice he was in it until i got on twitter. Ep was whatever, did the white walkers already have giants or did we get a close up of dead wun wun? I also am in the full speed ahead camp but i didnt think theyd even wait til ep 2 for that. The cold open was retarded. Who gave a fuck about any frey besides old walder?
