They said they have 1 more shorter season after this one.

Not really keen on the show anymore, but curious as to see how they'll end it considering Fatboi still hasn't gotten anything out.

Took you long enough. Of course, the reason he can't finish the story is that he's obsessed with all the "world building" shit you and Puddles have boners for. IT'S YOUR FAULT is what I'm basically saying.

Quote
Benioff and Weiss claim to have sworn off reading commentary about the show, good or bad. When I visit them in Los Angeles in March, they’re writing the next and final season. I peek into a fridge in a lounge area in their offices, a room dominated by a Thrones-branded pinball machine Weiss proudly points out, to find three cases of beer with Westeros-themed labels, low-calorie ranch dressing and yellow mustard. At this point, they have full outlines of the final six episodes. In fact, they’ve been working on the very last episode, possibly the most anticipated finale since Hawkeye left Korea. “We know what happens in each scene,” says Weiss.

The fact that they know is remarkable considering the show will reach its conclusion long before the books. The last new Thrones novel came out in 2011, the year the show began. The author describes his next installment, the sixth of seven, as “massively late.” “The journey is an adventure,” says Martin, who, at 68, has fought criticism that he won’t finish the books. “There’s always that process of discovery for me.” But with young, and rapidly maturing, actors under contract and a community of artisans awaiting marching orders in Belfast, the show can’t wait.

Benioff and Weiss always knew this would happen. So they met with the novelist in 2013, between Seasons 2 and 3, to sketch out what Martin calls “the ultimate developments” after the books and show diverge. The upshot, they say, is that the two can co­exist. “Certain things that we learned from George way back then are going to happen on the show, but certain things won’t,” says Benioff. “And there’s certain things where George didn’t know what was going to happen, so we’re going to find them out for the first time too.”

It’s also changed the on-set dynamic. Coster-Waldau says Benioff and Weiss have “become much more protective over the story and script. I think they feel this is truly theirs now, and it’s not to be tampered with. I’ve just sensed this last season that this is their baby: ‘Just say the words as they’re written, and shut up.’”

Can you imagine the money Martin has lost by not finishing the series and only releasing one book during the show's duration? Publishers dangle advances and bonuses based on deadlines, and he has missed every single one. Not to mention that IF A Dream Of Spring even comes out it'll be in like 2024, long after the craze is dead.

Martin's flurry of activity (signing a new deal with HBO, selling rights to various other properties, the spin offs, etc) reek of him trying to make up for the money he lost. Pathetic.

Can we just assume in this thread that if you ain't watched it by Monday you can just stay the hell out of the thread re:spoilers?

Thought it was a good episode, loved the opening with Arya wiping the Freys straight out of the game. Glad we didn't have to suffer through a season of Daenerys sailing and they put her ass right into Dragonstone -- hopefully this keeps up and we get a whole season of shit happening. Also, mebbe the hound ends up being Azor Ahai, whatcha think?

I read spoilers for the next episode, don't get your hopes too high. Although with only 7 episodes you'd think they wouldn't have so many slow episodes, but this episode was kinda slow. That Arya and Ed Sheeran scene felt like total AffC filler.

It was an OK episode (with the exception of the cold opening which was really quite good) however, the whole Danny getting back to Dragonstone thing was too in love with itself and melodramatic.  The hound thing was a little cheesy too, but I don't see how that could have been avoided. The Sam thing? They spent more time with him mopping up shit than the important stuff (a perplexing choice)

really it feels like the show runners are just sorta guessing the way it goes forward. The iron bank? nope. The sparrow? gone.

Oh and yeah, let's let this Targaryean girl who we know is coming just land all her ships and get a foothold at Dragonstone. I mean, come on. You kidding? It didn't matter what you thought of the Greyjoys but make a deal with ANYONE just to stop the Dothraki getting to Westeros with literally no resistance. That's a whole new level of dumb.

this is why you're a plebe. It was a very good scene in which Arya's entire worldview and actions earlier in the episode were challenged, and also reinforced Jon's decision in the episode regarding the children of traitors. It was the type of scene you'd expect from the books.

And I'd imagine when Arya eventually decides to murder all the soldiers later, it'll once again drive home that she is little more than a vengeful spirit (in the show). She's Lady Stoneheart.

Post by: Raist on July 19, 2017, 04:10:57 PM
So I gave it another watch, and a bit more thought. Let's recap:

- Arya can apparently already pass as pretty much anyone. Instead of having the Freys change side, or something even remotely useful, just wipes them out. I get that they've been trying to build her up as a badass assassin on a quest for revenge, but then again, in the next scene we get a clichéd "wait, people can be normal and nice too??!?!?" scene with a bunch of rando Lannisters soldiers no one gives a F about.

- Bran miraculously comes back to the wall. Not sure how they went past the ginormous army of ice zombies. Benjen disappears again. I guess he doesn't give that much of a fuck about his nephews. And then nothing. Not a single scene even hinting that Jon Snow knows is alive, and here. Let's forget he lost yet another sibling just a handful of episodes earlier, mkay? And when asked why they should believe he's Ned Stark's son, apparently the convincing argument Bran comes up with is "let me tell you what I know you did in season 2". Sorry, how does this follow?

- Sansa thinking it's a good idea to contradict her brother, officially her freaking king, because "bu-bu-bu-but Jon they betrayed us we need to punish them". Also tries to teach him about being "smarter than Dad". Well that's convenient, considering the role you played in his demise. And the death of a poor butcher's boy. And covering LF's ass when he murdered your aunt. Speaking of LF, literally 5mins later, when Brienne asks why he still sticks around, Sansa explains that it's "because he has soldiers and shit". Well hold up, wouldn't that work for the Umber and Karstark kids too then? Guess the fact that he made her marry a complete psychopath is all forgiven.
She was already a garbage character in the books, they somehow managed to make her even more insufferable and useless in the show.

- No one apparently thought it'd be a good idea to hold Dragonstone. Including Cersei who was told in the same episode "Well they're most likely going to make landfall at Dragonstone". "Because of its port" by the way, says Jamie. And then we see MuhDragons arriving later on, and landing on a small shitty beach.

- Cersei invites Euron to hang out and shit, knows (or strongly suspects) he's going to propose an alliance via marriage, but then tells him to fuck off. OK? She also sounds like she never actually gave a fuck about her kids.
Also, Euron now looks like he would fit right in a shitty metal concert. Or maybe the Village People, I dunno. The fuck was that attire and haircut.

- So the archmeister believes Sam but doesn't seem to give a fuck. One of the highest ranking meisters doesn't think that maybe the fact that an gigantic army led by the Night King, which hasn't been seen for millenia, might be a bit of an issue?
As for Sam, we got that he's having a shitty (:teehee) time, but there's no need to repeat that succession of lowly tasks for 5mins. Point was taken in the first 1. But then Sam decides to act for once, and we Harry Potter now. Minus magic blanket. Oh and the big revelation that there's a fuckton of dragonglass in Dragonstone. Although "Oh yeah Stannis mentioned something about this...".

- MuhDragons is back in Westeros for the first time in like, forever, knows that pretty much everyone wants to kill her (and banned her most loyal follower for that reason), yet walks head first into one of the strongest fortresses in Westeros, with just a handful of people walking like 20m behind her. Well that makes sense too.


Thankfully based Sandor is still awesome. It's quite amusing how scenes about three rather minor characters (especially in the original material) are a fuckload better across the board than major stuff. Hound for Prez.

Post by: Phoenix Dark on July 19, 2017, 05:12:31 PM
Not to mention how ridiculous it is that ALL the Freys happened to be in one area like that. Jaime notes they were a valuable part of the Lannister force...were no Freys commanding the Frey army in the field? The war is still going on. And what happens to the Frey army now? Do they just chill at the Twins and do nothing? Or maybe we'll get more Girl Power and Walder's wife will pledge fealty to Jon.

One of the best things about Rome that there was a scene with a slave showing his big dick. That was like a decade ago, people. Game Of Thrones is missing out on a big opportunity with male nudity.

But anyway, I alluded to Arya being LSH in my previous comments about the episode. Makes sense, as long as the end is as tragic as I assume LSH and book Arya's arcs will be. Arya just being a killer who does "cool" murders with no other development would be cheap.

Don't worry, the worst things Jaime does are immediately forgotten by everyone, especially the writers, and have no lasting effect on the character whatsoever

How is Sam still fat after all this time at the wall and barely eating and then going to the citadel and barely eating.

My first thought too! How's this dude still so thick? Dude spends all day dragging multiple full steel bedpans around and carrying three foot tall stacks of books

I agree with everything except your assessment of Sansa. She's much less awful than Jon. Sansa learned from her abusers while Jon was gaying it up in an all boy's military encampment where he was eventually murdered by his semen-receptacle boy Olly, and he somehow came back dumber than ever. Jon can only redeem himself by banging Danaerys as soon as possible.

I find most of those kinda nitpicky. I'm willing to forgive traveling sins and faux pas at this point because I want the show to move at a breakneck pace (although I acknowledge stuff like Littlefinger's teleporter would be shitty in a lengthy book). I could also probably come up with some feasibly likely reason on why they might want to hit up Dragonstone first pretty quickly. The only thing I really agree with is the ballista. That's the master plan of the dude that gave us Zombie Mountain?

Re: Jon and Sansa, I think they've cut Littlefinger some slack since he saved their asses at the Battle of the Bastards (a pretty big deal), but I think both Sansa and Jon have made it clear that some slack isn't much slack. I still want to see Littlefinger seduce Sansa because he is the best character on the show. I might be a bit sour next week if Jon interacts with Varys or Tyrion in any meaningful way and Jon isn't informed about Littlefinger's role in Ned's death (assuming Varys or Tyrion know that Jon is buddying around with The Finger, of course).

As far as Sansa opposing Jon goes, I think that might just be her nature after everything she's been through, and she might also feel she has a right to speak her mind considering she's a real Stark. Thinking a bit further on this, did Jon and Sansa ever really interact way back in season/book 1 before everything went down? I don't recall if they had a friendly relationship or if Sansa (who takes after her mom, a person that did not like Jon) resented or didn't like him. If they had a salty relationship back then, that might also play into her attitude towards his shitty leadership. I only went through AGOT, Clash of Kings, and part of Storm of Swords and I don't recall what Sansa personally thought of Jon.

They're not wrong though.
I was talking with the wife last night and it just feels like the show runners have let the show get away from them. The thing that made made GoT more than standard fantasy schlock for me was when Ned Stark gets beheaded and GRRM was like "Oh you thought he was the main character? The events are the main character bitch!" The show runners seem to be thinking "We have all these characters, what do we do with them?" "Well, let's tie fatfriend with Sir Friendzone, why? because people will eat that up." I can't speak for the books, especially after the last 2, but unless Sir Friendzone has something important to do,they'd just leave it as, he died somewhere.

And don't get me started on the Varys "I choose you Pikachu!" It started off strong with him maintaining that he's on the side of the realm but then is like "But I'll server you." And then the Greyjoys. "Oh noes! It's Euron!! I'm this badass Piratess of the sea and I'm just going to sit around slack jawed and not give a single order." There are so many things that they're doing with their caricatures that are just so perplexing. I have to admit, I was like "I'm not going to read the next books. The show will do." If this is how it's going to go? I'll probably read the books just to see if they're as big a mess as the show

Last season was a wreck until Hodor and then the battle of the bastards. This season? Episode 1 was OK. Episode 2 feels like the show has gotten away from them. We'll see if they have another epic battle scene to save the season.

I'm pretty sure in A Dance With Dragons the slavers' armies had ballistas, and they didn't do shit. Tyrion said the only way they'd be effective would be a lucky shot right to the eye or into the mouth.

The books had led me to believe that the giant horn Victarion came across was going to be the secret weapon against the dragons. But there's no Victarion and no horn, so I guess we can go with ballistas getting a buff.

Yep.

at this point in the show i think euron has best chance at killing one of the dragons with his magic swagger

Meraxes was shot out the sky by an iron bolt through the eye, by the Dornish; I'd imagine a lot of bolts were shot at the same time and that was the lucky shot.

I wouldn't expect history to repeat itself on that front. If any of Dany's dragons die in the show it'll be due to magic or something. In the books, you could use a horn to steal a dragon and pit it against another.

Except Game of Thrones was always laying the ground work for typical fantasy schlock. GURM just tricked people with Ned Stark for one book, but since then it has been pretty clear who is safe and has plot armor (Jon, Daenery, Tyrion, Arya). Everything else is just fat pink masts and grimdark for grimdarks sake.

Ok so, Cersei does get her comeuppance but with none of the build or fan fare. I...don't get this show. The back and forth between Maergary and Cersei was amazing. The way it builds up, the way you can read inside Cersei's head, and see her slowly get more and more insane. Here, Cersei is just Cersei but with a little extra. I mean, we have the same end result with a less satisfying conclusion. I truly think this should have been a more season wide story line. There should have been more visions with Cersei visitng the Maegi. How she killed her friend who went with her.

I simply cannot understand why this show changes things from the books for the worse. I cannot understand it. I understand if you can't do something because it requires a huge budget or whatever, but this change in particular MAKES NO SENSE and is a vastly inferior conclusion.

Which particular changes are you talking about? I barely remember that season.


Ok so, Cersei does get her comeuppance but with none of the build or fan fare. I...don't get this show. The back and forth between Maergary and Cersei was amazing. The way it builds up, the way you can read inside Cersei's head, and see her slowly get more and more insane. Here, Cersei is just Cersei but with a little extra. I mean, we have the same end result with a less satisfying conclusion. I truly think this should have been a more season wide story line. There should have been more visions with Cersei visitng the Maegi. How she killed her friend who went with her. How she relives this moment over and over and does whatever she can to stop the vision the Maegi said from coming true. How she continually talks about what's best for her children but really is just crazy. Again, the show gets to that destination, but with none of what makes it so fucking satisfying.

I think Cersei's downfall and her increasing insanity is the greatest part of Feast. Her imprisonment. The letter to Jaime. Jaime burning it while he takes care of business and being a bad mother fucker. Cersei is the villain you love to hate. Her back and forth with Maergary was golden and instead it ends abruptly and stupidly. In Feast it's a really fun storyline. Here, it's pretty droll.

Ep 1 of season 6 currently reeling in fury after they killed my man Doran. Doran is a calculating thinker who bides his time, not a fucking pussy. And to go out like that? Again, the conclusion isn't satisfactory. The Sand Snakes are far less interesting than Doran and his long game playing ass. Another force that wants to have open war with the Lannisters. That. Is. Fucking. Boring. You've got the Boltons for that job. Doran acts as something more interesting, and now? Well...

Fuck D&D. I hope their Civil War show crashes and burns because this time they won't have good source material to fall back on and people will see them as the fuck up hacks they truly are.

TBF tho, Dorne represents more world building bloat in the books. I'm completely fine with them giving it not a lot of love on the show. There's only so much airtime, and decisions have to be made as to what to focus on.

Also, how do you adapt the Dorne storyline in a way that works for tv? I don't think it does.

In the books Dorne is one of my favorite locales, if not my favorite. So I'm really disappointed by how they treated it. I disagree that Dorne by itself was world filler as Doran seeks to get Dany on the throne, and it makes sense for her to have a massive nation backing her given she has no allies in the high families of Westeros. With Doran dead and Dorne merely another force that wants to kill the Lannisters, things are now far, far less interesting geopolitical wise on the Westerosi map.

That said, I like the show. But the massive changes just keep making me lose my shit especially when many of them feel so unnecessary and are most often for the worse. I tend to not be a "adaptations should 1:1" kind of fan thing but GoT just drives me crazy, guys.

Can't wait to marathon season 6 and should be caught up for Sunday if things go right.

Quote
Williams explains that episode director Mark Mylod and his team wanted Arya's escape from The Waif in episode seven and subsequent chase in No One to be far more theatrical, but the actress maintained that it wasn't Ayra's style.

She said that in her mind, Ayra was really struggling, and wouldn't expend extra energy on pulling cool-looking stunts when she was just trying to stay safe:

"I wanted her to look like she was struggling. I didn’t want [the chase stunts] to be unnecessary or superhuman. I got on set and they were [going to have Arya] rolling around, and diving, and I was like, 'That looks amazing, but no.' I’d be like, 'Why would she run over there? She’d just duck under here and just get out.'"

Saw the episode last night. There were multiple dialogue moment that were stunningly bad ("you said fire can kills wights. What breaths fire?") and just idiotic plot driven decisions that made no sense. Like, why would they sail all the way to Dragonstone and then sail BACK to Dorne to get troops? They passed Dorne while sailing to Dragonstone.

Still I enjoyed the plotting amongst the various factions at the beginning of the episode. The Euron stuff....parts of that battle just looked distinguished mentally-challenged. I dunno brehs....

Post by: Human Snorenado on July 29, 2017, 01:54:03 PM
Here's the thing with D&D, at least IMO: they tend to suck at the "little things" but deliver on the "big things." So, a lot of what people love about the books are the small details about characters, and that tends to get not as much love on the show, but look at the most memorable moments from the show:

-Ned's death
-Battle of Blackwater Bay
-Red Wedding
-Purple Wedding
-Tyrion's trial in King's Landing
-Hardhome (which is a complete and total show creation, too)
-Jon's betrayal
-[redacted for QoI] in the S6 finale

They tend to hit on the bigger beats of the books more than they miss, IMO. Which just makes the inconsistency that much more frustrating, sure, but again like you said- at least they're fucking finishing the goddamn story.
Title: Re: Game of Thrones Season 7 Thread | Winter is Here
Post by: Himu on July 29, 2017, 02:00:55 PM
Yeah, that's my issue. We all know they can deliver, so it drives you mad when you know have the knack but follow up on the smaller, more subtle things that truly makes the series what it's known for the most. So when the quality or charactersizations could be better, it sucks because you know it can be better and given HBO's penchant for quality tv like The Wire, you kind of have certain expectations.

I go back and forth.

The thing is, the S6 finale is more of a slow build, which the show isn't as good at doing in a lot of ways, as opposed to battles which they're known for. Also, I enjoy [redacted for QoI]'s character arc more than Jon's, although you could argue Hardhome is more about the Night King than Jon in a lot of ways.

It wasn't so much that D&D sucked at the little things (though they did!) as much as that they replaced the meaningful little things with boobs and dick.

Oberyn was a great example of this. We barely got any of his cool conversations from ASOS, but we got plenty of him establishing that he likes to fuck the pussy AND the butt.

Yeah this pisses me off. I don't even remember if he told Tyrion about the time he and his sister saw Tyrion in his crib and Cersei pinched and squeezed his penis, trying to hurt him. Tyrion and Oberyn have a very interesting relationship in ASOS. When Oberyn comes to his aid via trial by combat it's portrayed in a manner where he wants to achieve more than revenge. It's almost like he considers Tyrion a friend. But this isn't explored. Let's muse on how Oberyn was bi, shall we?

This is one of the reasons I am doubtful about their civil war alternate history show. They have shown time and again they are incapable of nuance and tact. And yet they want to tackle the subject of antebellum slavery, with all of its horrendous offenses, when they've concentrated on simplistic things like "this character is bi"? Um.

And from a different vantage point Cersei is totally sane and the best ruler for saving Westeros from foreign invaders. POV counts for a lot. And from Jon Snow's POV, Olly was a traitorous little cunt who killed the best piece of freefolk ass north of the wall.

Jon is my favorite character in ASOIAF but I truly find Jaime to be the best written and the show is really reflecting and improving upon this.

They really could have improved Jamie's character in the show if they included that one Mace Tyrell POV scene from Storm of Swords. The one set in the back room of Littlefinger's brothel, where Jamie, Littlefinger, Varys, and Mace are all lined up on the side of a bed, naked and presenting while wearing very femme head pieces (I think Mace is wearing Olenna's). Oberyn goes down the row, servicing each in turn, and after he finishes, Jamie gets up and Oberyn takes his place on the bed. Jamie then uses his fake hand to blow out all of their assholes. Everyone then gets up and starts voguing in a circle around Jamie, proudly displaying their prominent rosebuds, while "Work This Pussy" plays on repeat.

The show really fucked up there.

For real though, Jaime had multiple inner conflicts in the book. The show just gave all of it to his obsession with Cersei after season 4. Him literally throwing the White Book aside and fucking Cersei instead of wanting to do his duty as a Kingsguard like in the book was a clear sign of intent from D&D.

If you look at his character development in the show by itself, you can see it go exactly as Queen described.

They really fucked the director too. Can't find the article, but basically he didn't edit the scene together/make the final cut. So when it aired he realized oh shit that's not the scene I shot, yet he was the one being asked to defend it. IIRC he hasn't directed an episode since then.

Bran was channeling Ramsay there.

"Hey sis, good to see you again.  By the way, the weather was beautiful the night you got raped.  You also looked really pretty on the way to your rape."  It comes off like Bran was aroused by what he saw that night.

That's the third meeting we've been waiting years to see that has been complete shit (along with Arya/Nymeria and Jon/Dany).  We've been waiting years to see Dany invade Westeros and it's as lame as can be.  She actually decided not to use her dragons and not to attack King's Landing, lol.  Can you believe that shit?  Tyrion should be getting fed to a dragon for coming up with that plan.  Lannisters can easily defeat the Tyrells in about a day I guess because they're not good fighters.  Teleportation everywhere.  I still enjoy watching the show just because it's funny.  Jorah is completely cured of grey scale because Sam cut it off, haha.  Hilarious season.

I mean, time travel is fine, no need to spend one entire episode on the road, the problem is that it's highly inconsistent.
Bran shows up at the wall at the very beginning of Ep. 1, but somehow only reaches Winterfell during Ep.3.  He really, really needs to talk to Jon, especially to you know, let him know he's not Ned's bastard, and lso that SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER I'M NOT DEAD, but they couldn't at the very least send a crow either. While Sam, on the other end, managed to do that in the same episode. FROM THE OTHER FUCKING SIDE OF THE MAP.
The worst part is that there's not even an excuse for it. Given that Bran had maybe 10mins of screen time so far, they could have made him arrive to the wall in Ep.2 or something.

And there's tons of other stuff like that.

The Lannisters is the only house that has an infinite supply of troops that haven't been ravaged by war lolol.

The best bit about that is that the Lannister land is one of the smallest ones, with the fewest major cities.

It would be great if upon reuniting with his siblings, Bran flippantly said something insensitive to each of them and then Sansa, Jon, and Arya just agree to fucking kill him.

"Hey, remember that time you got married and got raped? I saw that! Ewwwww!"
"Hey, remember that time you saw Grey Wind's head sewn onto Robb's body? That was gnarly!"
"Hey, remember when that fucking obvious plot piece Ollie bullseyed that chick you loved? AND you passed up a chance to bang Mellisandre? WTF Jon?"

Other than Kings Landing every major house seems to have a castle and not much else. Its like in an old RPG when the only buildings are ones where you can spend money or talk to important NPCs.

Lannister's taking Tyrell's isn't out of the ordinary. They're not considered a fighting house and Tarly was their man fighting force bannerman. Olenna spells it out when Jaime walks in: they're not known for fighting, Lancel  or no. They're important because of their resources they provide to the realm.

What nonsense is this? They have the largest fleet in Westeros and it's due to his alliance with Tyrells that Renley had a nigh unstoppable army and Stannis could only defeat him through treacherous sourcery, rather than open combat. The whole "they aren't good fighters" but was made up to
boost Cersei up.

The show also discounts Reach politics with Hightower and especially Redwyne being power players. The Redwyne fleet is about as large as the Ironborn's and was the biggest in Westeros till Euron built them up IIRC

So I guess the show just gave all the bannermen power to Tarly.

I'm guessing if the books do come out, the Reach houses will be divided on who to support and the Tyrells will get got one way or another.

I'm feeling like a real apologist for the show at this point, so I should probably stop responding, but I don't think it would be especially difficult to convince the public that Yara was in cahoots with the murderer of Cersei's daughter since she was caught on a boat in the midst of a sexy lesbo "foreign invasion" with her. Also she's like 75% less attractive than any other female in the cast. Euron gets props for capturing them.

Also, to suggest today's Trumpian times again, I'm sure Cersei's crowds in the Red Keep are very carefully selected from known loyalists.

Because it was the first (I think) act of rebellion by a former ally that was now a threat? Maybe Myrcella was liked? She seemed nice enough. It's not difficult to come up with reasonable justification for some of these complaints.

Also, I'm out for the night. I just found the most AMAZING fisting vid on Tumblr. I swear this dude must have been born without a sphincter. I need to investigate.

I approve. I normally love to hate on things, but in light of all the awful book readers hating on the show, I think I feel some sort of need to defend it.

tbh the most glaring problem to me was Varys in Dorne one minute and on Dany's boat the next. That was jarring. What the fuck. Most immersion breaking thing I've seen on this show yet. Haven't had a problem with Lannister's taking out Highgarden as per the show logic or Kings Landing people booing the enemies of the queen. After Cersei bombed the Sept, she rules that place with an iron fist called fear. So it makes sense the populace would side with her if they valued their life. Especially since Cersei issued a mandate for Clegane to kill anyone who bad mouths her. They could have shown more fear in KL during last season as the Mountain silenced the populace who talked shit about Cersei, but as we know, details isn't one of this shows strong points and you have to fill in the gaps. So the recent stuff is just par for the course for the show.

But Varys suddenly appearing on Dany's boat in the s6 finale. That's weird.

Probably the biggest book bitching I have is the fact that Varys and Littlefinger are like straight up chumps in the show. Or at least have been since like season 5.

Alright, I guess Lannisters sacking Highgarden as easy as taking a candy from a baby isn't THE most awful thing about the last couple of episodes.

Why were all the commoners in King's Landing cheering for Euron and throwing shit at Asha again? Do most common folk even know who Asha is? Didn't all the commoners hate Cersei and throw stuff at her when she did her walk of shame? The residents of flea bottom have the memory of a frut fly..

Personally, if Donald Trump killed all of the most annoying and awful religious people in a glorious green explosion tomorrow, I'd probably be willing to forget a lot about his past. King's Landing was probably ecstatic to be rid of those Sparrow assholes.

I think all the Washington Elite Nobles hated the Sparrow assholes, but they seemed to help out the dirty poors and won favor with them. My question was more along the lines of, what explicit reasons did they have to hate Asha/Yara and rain adoration at Euron?


They're just like americans, clapping at anything and everything.

Are there any Preston Jacobs fans in the house?  For those not familiar, he's about the closest thing we have to a RedLetterMedia recapper of the show.  Sometimes, he points out legitimate flaws and bad writing.  Sometimes he goes overboard with his nitpicking.  But even then, it's amusing to see someone who thinks far too deeply about a story talk about a show written by people who barely put any thought into it.  (Ex: "Dany is too powerful, hey, let's turn Dany and Tyrion into bumbling idiots and have them attack Casterly Rock instead of King's Landing and let's not use dragons."  "Hey, we want Sansa to get raped, let's have her agree to marry into the family that murders hers with no plan and no benefit to Littlefinger.")

How many times did you jerk it to that fisting vid?

I'm old and have a refractory period of like 7 days. It's like The Ring between after I jizz and when I can jizz again.

The video itself was of the highest quality. The fister had a kinda nasty arm hair situation going on that would've needed an agent orange drop to reel in. Prety thick arms, too, and appeared pretty solid. The elbow got inside the fistee a few times. You didn't see the fistee's full face at all (the video focused on the important things), but there was a shot of the side of his face and you could see the dude was bawling his eyes out--I was a little surprised since he seemed to be taking it so easily. Oh, also, the bottom dude was young (not cool young dude young, but like mid 20s and looked like a fucking adult) and didn't look like the normal sort of degraded nasty dude that you see in like 99% of these videos.

They did also mention that the people of King's landing will change who they favor at the drop of the hat, so I guess the explanation is that they're just easily influenced.

Dang, Arya killing Littlefinger would be so sweet!

I do think they're making her too OP, she shouldn't be handling Brianne like that. She should be able to pull a bunch of crafty/stealthy assasin dirty tricks, but in a one on one battle, I think not. She didn't even train with Syrio that long, and besides that she wouldn't pick up or get considerable practice fencing on her journey. Sure, she's killed tons of people, but usually in the chaos of melee battles. She shouldn't stand a chance against a seasoned warrior like Brianne (and if Arya can easily beat Brienne, she should have been able to dispatch the Hound at will as well, but we all know that was not the case).

I think they were showing Arya could take Brienne in a point-based fencing competition, but I think she'd be fucked if both went all out. Good luck getting through all that armor.

What makes Arya actually OP is her face switching tech, which thus far has been shown to have zero drawbacks and unlimited flexibility.

Also, the show is silent on the issue of Bran's assassin, but (from a wiki read) it's spelled pretty clearly in the books - and it ain't Littlefinger.

No, I expect Sana to have the majority role in orchestrating his downfall.

It isn't Littlefinger but the dagger isn't relevant. Littlefinger helped cause the war of the five kings along with Lyssa. Also, he is one of the main culprits whose actions lead to the death of Ned Stark, which is Arya's cup of tea.

Bran showed he knows Littlefingers little games. He also gave the dagger to Arya. It's my wish that Arya does the little snake in. ☺️ Bran is planting those seeds. :hyper

Was Little Finger on Arya's list?

I loved that look Arya gave Sansa when Bran told her that Cersei's on her list. Like "I wasn't kidding about the list, bitch"

Also, is it just me or did the Lannister's gave away their hand with the ballista? Now Dany knows they have weapons that can hurt dragons and will use more caution.

Littlefinger is not on her list but I believe Bran gave her the dagger because he knows the truth and will reveal it to Arya so she can kill him.

Dang, Arya killing Littlefinger would be so sweet!

I do think they're making her too OP, she shouldn't be handling Brianne like that. She should be able to pull a bunch of crafty/stealthy assasin dirty tricks, but in a one on one battle, I think not. She didn't even train with Syrio that long, and besides that she wouldn't pick up or get considerable practice fencing on her journey. Sure, she's killed tons of people, but usually in the chaos of melee battles. She shouldn't stand a chance against a seasoned warrior like Brianne (and if Arya can easily beat Brienne, she should have been able to dispatch the Hound at will as well, but we all know that was not the case).

Sparring != fighting

I don't think it's saying Arya could kill Brienne at all. I think its purpose is to show how formidable she is as a fighter and with Littlefinger and Sansa watching Littlefinger has more and more enemies. He should be scared. :rejoice

What sparring experience did Arya have, besides Syrio Farrel? My point is that she would need years and years of practice to get on that level, and as we know her training sessions with Syrio didn't last very long.

I don't really care though. I just hope she sticks more people with her pointy bit.

Ehh, she didn't spar anyone with a sword. They fought with sticks, and the Arya parts of last season were generally laughable.

:confused

Arya has used that sword for self defense for years. Combined with her Faceless training it isn't really a surprise that she's skilled at fighting. Essentially, Syrrio taught her the basics of sword fighting. Arya did not stop practicing and her skills I fact, got better. Arya is also a natural at fighting. She trained with Faceless Men who are trained assassins. She learned how to fight blind. While she wasn't fighting with a sword, it doesn't matter. Fighting skill is fighting skill. Just because she's using a sword doesn't change the reactions and skills she learned while blind. She even kills someone with that very sword in a dark room. Faceless Men took Arya's talent for fighting and her already solid sword fighting base and we have what we saw last ep.

And like I said, sparring isn't fighting. Brienne and Arya weren't fighting. They were sparring. Arya winning a spar doesn't mean she could kill Brienne. It just shows her abilities as a fighter and her character development.

I don't see why this is confusing.

Where did I say anything about kicking ass? Cersei doesn't fight and she she's the baddest bitch on the show

Sansa's been nothing but a whimpering little girl the entire show. Every time she had an opportunity to stand up to someone she faltered. Every time she got out of trouble someone else had to bail her out. She might have a coniving, survivalist streak in her, but that's about it.

Basically creating a rift between the Lannisters and Starks, which seems to have been an early goal of his. They are two of the biggest houses and the whole idea of marrying Sansa to Joffrey was to get them all on the same page and invested in the Baratheon dynasty. So it could make sense that he'd move to cause problems before that could happen.

I'd have more questions about how it would work logistically. He wasn't at Winterfell at the time, so even if he's using ravens to give orders there's the question of the knife.

That's what I figured it had to be, but it's kind of a convoluted scheme. If Caitlyn brought the dagger to anyone aside from Littlefinger (and bringing it to him wasn't her original goal, it just happened that way), the scheme may not have worked. I'm guessing LF pinned it on Tyrion rather than another Lannister since he was the brains of the family (I forget whether Tyrion was on the Small Council at the time).

I forget too many show details about the first season. I just read the book explanation (I never did finish the third book), and if it was who the AWOIAF page fingers, it's really not a particularly satisfying resolution.

Post by: Himu on August 08, 2017, 03:48:07 PM
TBH I've always thought it was either Jaime or Cersei.

Littlefinger conspires with Lyssa to have her husband killed. A separate incident happens with Bran seeing Jaime and Cersei together. I thought it was clear either one of them would have him killed. Given what we know of the two, I'd hedge my bets on Cersei. When Caitlyn goes to Littlefinger, he deduces that this is a good time for chaos and decides to cause a further rift in the realm by claiming the Lannisters did it. That's just Baelish taking opportunity. Not only is Tyrion the brains of the family but 2/3 of his family absolutely hated him and wouldn't have remorse if he died, which blinds them from the fact he's the brains. Baelish, who knew Caitlyn, deduced that Cat would take Tyrion prisoner and the two families would fight. With the seeds planted, he conspires with Cersei to help kill Ned.

At least that's what I've thought. Littlefinger is a roach. Some things are totally his schemes, but for the most part he seems to be about climbing above the rubble and using it as his advantage more than anything. Although he's a schemer as well, obviously.

I don't know.

I remember one part where someone (Littlefinger?) shows Joff the dagger and Joff acts like he's never seen or used it totally has.

Plus, there's the quote.

"You're not s'pposed to be here; no one's s'pposed to be here. It's a mercy; he's dead already." And as said, Joffrey wouldn't want to live if he could never walk again. He thought he was doing Bran a favor.

From the wiki:

Quote
In A Clash of Kings, Catelyn found out that Littlefinger lied to her about the dagger only after she interrogated Jaime Lannister. Jaime bluntly admitted that he pushed Bran from the window in attempt to kill him, but claimed that neither he nor Cersei nor Tyrion had anything to do with the assassin; both Tyrion and Jaime pointed out the key flaw in Littlefinger's story- Tyrion couldn't have won the dagger in a gambling bet because he never betted against Jaime in such circumstances. When asked about the dagger, Jaime remembered that Littlefinger bet and lost it - to Robert, not to Tyrion. Catelyn realized Jaime was telling her the truth, for he had nothing to gain by lying about the assassin and the dagger after admitting that he pushed Bran. Jaime admits that he and Cersei considered having Bran killed, but given the fact Catelyn was in his bed chamber at all times and the room was guarded, it would have meant murdering their way through half of Winterfell's population to reach Bran, and they concluded there was no need when it seemed more likely that Bran would die of his injuries from the fall.

During a casual conversation at King's Landing, Tyrion made a comment about Littlefinger's elegant suit and handsome knife. Littlefinger drew his knife, glanced at it casually, as if he had never seen it before and said “Valyrian steel, and a dragonbone hilt. A trifle plain, though. It’s yours, if you would like it." Noticing the mischief in his eyes, Tyrion realized that Littlefinger was teasing him insolently about the assassin's dagger, without saying anything explicit.

Tyrion suffered a lot as a result of Littlefinger's lie: he was humiliated, kidnapped, beaten, locked in a sky cell and nearly killed three times (on the way to the Eyrie, at the Eyrie, and on the way back) - and yet he never attempted to settle the score with Littlefinger, either openly or secretly (as he did with a singer who tried to blackmail him), even after being taunted about it. It is unclear why Tyrion let Littlefinger get away with that, in contrast to the unofficial motto of his house (though Tyrion does note that at the time, Littlefinger is still too useful to House Lannister to kill him out of hand simply for revenge, though Tyrion's own train of thought implies that he will gladly have Littlefinger killed for the grief he caused Tyrion, once his usefulness is at an end).

In A Storm of Swords, Tyrion and Jaime independently deduce that it was Joffrey who sent the assassin:

After Joffrey uses his new sword to cut the book Tyrion gave him at his wedding, he says "I am no stranger to Valyrian steel." That strange comment makes Tyrion realize it was him (discounting the only two other possible culprits, because Jaime was too proud to have another do his killing for him, while Cersei was too cunning to use a knife that could be traced back to her). Tyrion remembers overhearing Joffrey jesting with the Hound in Winterfell about killing wolves: "Send a dog to kill a wolf." Even Joffrey was not so foolish as to command the Hound to slay a son of Eddard Stark, as Clegane would have informed Cersei. Instead he found his catspaw among the unsavory lot of freeriders, merchants, and camp followers who had attached themselves to the King's party as they made their way north. Since even Joffrey was not stupid enough to use his own dagger, he went poking among his father's weapons. No doubt some diligent servant had made certain that the King's weapons went with him, in case he should desire any of them. The only thing Tyrion cannot figure out is Joffrey's motive. Recalling a nasty quarrel between Joffrey and Robb, Tyrion asks Sansa if there was any ill feeling between Bran and Joffrey, but her answer is negative. He guesses then it was mere cruelty of Joffrey. Another possibility is that Joffrey grew incensed when Tyrion slapped him and ordered him to offer his sympathies to Eddard and Catelyn about Bran's injury (simply for the sake of decorum); in his warped mind, Joffrey felt so insulted at being commanded to express sympathy to Bran's parents that he may have wanted to soothe his wounded pride by having an unconscious seven year old boy assassinated.
   

Jaime tells Cersei that Catelyn suspected him of sending the assassin to kill Bran. Cersei recalls Robert saying of Bran: "We kill our horses when they break a leg, and our dogs when they go blind, but we are too weak to give the same mercy to crippled children" in the presence of their children, including Joffrey. Jaime deduces that it was Joffrey, but he was a child hungry for a pat on the head from the drunken fool Cersei let him believe was his father - that somehow in Joffrey's warped train of thought, he concluded that Robert would appreciate his decisiveness for euthanizing Bran without permission. It also may have been a combination of all these motives.

Although there is no direct evidence that definitively proves that Joffrey was the one who sent the assassin, it is very likely Tyrion and Jaime are correct about pinning the assassination attempt on him. When Jaime finally engineers Tyrion's escape from the dungeons, during their conversation through the secret tunnels of the Red Keep, Tyrion becomes annoyed and asks Jaime if he knew that his son tried to kill Bran Stark. Jaime grudgingly admits that he had thought he might have.

Riiiight, I forgot that Jaime and Tyrion came to those conclusions. Yeah, it was Joff.

During a casual conversation at King's Landing, Tyrion made a comment about Littlefinger's elegant suit and handsome knife. Littlefinger drew his knife, glanced at it casually, as if he had never seen it before and said “Valyrian steel, and a dragonbone hilt. A trifle plain, though. It’s yours, if you would like it." Noticing the mischief in his eyes, Tyrion realized that Littlefinger was teasing him insolently about the assassin's dagger, without saying anything explicit.

Tyrion suffered a lot as a result of Littlefinger's lie: he was humiliated, kidnapped, beaten, locked in a sky cell and nearly killed three times (on the way to the Eyrie, at the Eyrie, and on the way back) - and yet he never attempted to settle the score with Littlefinger, either openly or secretly (as he did with a singer who tried to blackmail him), even after being taunted about it. It is unclear why Tyrion let Littlefinger get away with that, in contrast to the unofficial motto of his house (though Tyrion does note that at the time, Littlefinger is still too useful to House Lannister to kill him out of hand simply for revenge, though Tyrion's own train of thought implies that he will gladly have Littlefinger killed for the grief he caused Tyrion, once his usefulness is at an end).

In A Storm of Swords, Tyrion and Jaime independently deduce that it was Joffrey who sent the assassin:

After Joffrey uses his new sword to cut the book Tyrion gave him at his wedding, he says "I am no stranger to Valyrian steel." That strange comment makes Tyrion realize it was him (discounting the only two other possible culprits, because Jaime was too proud to have another do his killing for him, while Cersei was too cunning to use a knife that could be traced back to her). Tyrion remembers overhearing Joffrey jesting with the Hound in Winterfell about killing wolves: "Send a dog to kill a wolf." Even Joffrey was not so foolish as to command the Hound to slay a son of Eddard Stark, as Clegane would have informed Cersei. Instead he found his catspaw among the unsavory lot of freeriders, merchants, and camp followers who had attached themselves to the King's party as they made their way north. Since even Joffrey was not stupid enough to use his own dagger, he went poking among his father's weapons. No doubt some diligent servant had made certain that the King's weapons went with him, in case he should desire any of them. The only thing Tyrion cannot figure out is Joffrey's motive. Recalling a nasty quarrel between Joffrey and Robb, Tyrion asks Sansa if there was any ill feeling between Bran and Joffrey, but her answer is negative. He guesses then it was mere cruelty of Joffrey. Another possibility is that Joffrey grew incensed when Tyrion slapped him and ordered him to offer his sympathies to Eddard and Catelyn about Bran's injury (simply for the sake of decorum); in his warped mind, Joffrey felt so insulted at being commanded to express sympathy to Bran's parents that he may have wanted to soothe his wounded pride by having an unconscious seven year old boy assassinated.
   

Jaime tells Cersei that Catelyn suspected him of sending the assassin to kill Bran. Cersei recalls Robert saying of Bran: "We kill our horses when they break a leg, and our dogs when they go blind, but we are too weak to give the same mercy to crippled children" in the presence of their children, including Joffrey. Jaime deduces that it was Joffrey, but he was a child hungry for a pat on the head from the drunken fool Cersei let him believe was his father - that somehow in Joffrey's warped train of thought, he concluded that Robert would appreciate his decisiveness for euthanizing Bran without permission. It also may have been a combination of all these motives.

Although there is no direct evidence that definitively proves that Joffrey was the one who sent the assassin, it is very likely Tyrion and Jaime are correct about pinning the assassination attempt on him. When Jaime finally engineers Tyrion's escape from the dungeons, during their conversation through the secret tunnels of the Red Keep, Tyrion becomes annoyed and asks Jaime if he knew that his son tried to kill Bran Stark. Jaime grudgingly admits that he had thought he might have.

Riiiight, I forgot that Jaime and Tyrion came to those conclusions. Yeah, it was Joff.

Yeah, I read that and still thought it was pretty weak, although that final paragraph does toss in some uncertainty. I'm still not totally convinced that even Joffrey would use a weapon that could be easily traced to his family. I guess he could have been unaware of the weapon's significance, but I'm still unclear on why an assassin would be using a weapon other than their own if not to send a message.

The actress that plays Sansa is so boring, she has no charisma. She's like a wet rag.

It's the writing.  She acted well enough during lots of key scenes.  Ned dying, the moment when she thought about pushing Joffrey off of the roof, lead up to the Ramsay rape scene where she's getting more and more scared, afterwards when she's an abused prisoner, meeting Theon, Theon telling her that Bran was alive, reunion with Jon.  She had to play a wide range of emotion in Season 5 and did it well.  She was one of the few good parts of Season 5.  Especially when you compare it to what Jon and Dany have been doing.

There's a ton of bad actors in this series that got carried by the rest of the cast. When it starts getting whittled down, D&D realized that the best way to stop people from criticizing the actor's abilities is to just not have them say much at all anymore. This is why Dany gets like 2m total speaking time in a season and 30min flying on a dragon per episode. That chick can't act worth a damn.

Two seasons>one season. Their business model demands sub retention, so letting the cash cow go is hard. Remember The Sopranos' last season was split into two parts as well. Of course, The Sopranos is significantly less expensive than Game Of Thrones. The Sopranos shot on location in Paris in that last season, too. At the time it must have been a pretty impressive budget.

So about that old theory that for some reason popped up in the past couple of days on various news sites...

spoiler (click to show/hide)
The Night King is Bran, somehow. I always thought it was a bit of nonsense, but the more it goes, the more the NK looks like a 2,000yo (or whatever his age is) popsicle version of Bran.

Surely they wouldn't go deeper down the rabbit hole of time travel shenanigans, right? Right?

Thousands and thousands of years ago, Brandon the Builder had raised Winterfell, and some said the Wall. Bran knew the story, but it had never been his favorite. Maybe one of the other Brandons had liked that story. Sometimes Nan would talk to him as if he were her Brandon, the baby she had nursed all those years ago, and sometimes she confused him with his uncle Brandon, who was killed by the Mad King before Bran was even born. She had lived so long, Mother had told him once, that all the Brandon Starks had become one person in her head.

It is funny how extremely fast the show is progressing now compared to the seasons where they followed the books.

Maybe a little too slow before and definitely too fast now.

Maybe a little too slow before and definitely too fast now.

I'm just a bystander; I read the first book, watched most of s2, and the first 3-4 eps of this current season (s7?) — can someone tell me what the deal is?

Is the TV show past where the books have gone?

If so, has GRRM provided an outline to the show to keep them more or less in line with each other?

If this isn't the last season of GoT, why are they speeding up? Are they trying to finish a storyline?
Title: Re: Game of Thrones Season 7 Thread | Winter is Here
Post by: Mandark on August 18, 2017, 09:55:46 PM
They're past the books. IIRC they said GRRM gave them an outline of where it was going, but they've also started freelancing more with the story.

There is another season, but both of the last seasons have fewer episodes for budget reasons. That affects the speed at which they're wrapping things up, also that the characters were still so widely dispersed (both geographically and plotwise) at the end of last season, giving them 14 episodes to wrap up about 60 episodes of sprawl.

Presumably next year will deal more directly with the white walkers and have less room for intrigue, so they're especially rushing the intra-human stuff.

Best episode of the series so far. I might bump it down to merely top 3-5 on a rewatch, but definitely one of the best ever.

Maybe if you eat like a handful of ecstacy before the ep.

This episode really just struck home that a show that was once filled with fun plots and intrigue is going to boil down to dragons and zombies and magic and fantasy bullshit.

I mean, that it would come down to this was pretty obvious from the beginning, but it's not all that satisfying for me to watch, especially when it's done while cutting all sorts or corners.

If it were 20 years in the future, and I were hired to helm the remake of this, the first thing I'd do is scrap the entire wall/white walkers plot and replace it with something more amiable to political shit. North of the wall has given us some cool battles, but not much else, and it's taken so much fucking time.

- Zombie Dragon is how they take the Wall down. It'll still breath fire.
- Berric Dondarion will stay behind at Eastwatch or where-ever and will challenge the Night King (hinted this episode) and will get killed
- Everyone expects Cersei to pull some shit during the meeting... but I think it'll actually be Dany that spoils things. Hinted at by Tyrion saying she has a temper. Cersei will say something and Dany will react and everything will spiral out of control
- Last shot of the season is the army of the dead walking through the melted wall.

(http://explodedviewgallery.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/11-The-Holy-Mountain.jpg)

Then S8 is just a 7 hour recreation of The Holy Mountain, with Littlefinger as the Alchemist, Jon as The Fool, and the other 7 planet characters being whatever remaining characters I still like. Let's say Cersei, Jaime, Tyrion, The Hound, Bronn, Davos, and Robin Arryn.

Something just stuck me as odd. The dragon zombie has the blue eyes like white walkers, the wights do not have those. Of course, I might be giving the show creators too much credit thinking they care about internal consistency.

Also, Arya doesn't really have a place in this new Westeros where old enemies are forging alliances. John Snow is in cahoots with Tyrion Lannister, and they're on the verge of calling a temporary truce with Cersei, while Arya is still stuck being a vengeful ball of rage. I imagine a Scott Evil scenario playing out with her.

The wights have blue eyes in the books, but I guess the show hasn't been consistent on the vfx front for them. The zombie polar bear had blue eyes though.

I thought the episode was rather pedestrian, and like the ep a couple weeks ago is largely predicated on viewers only caring about the final part/act. The fight was amazing, as was the death of the dragon. Seems to me like a trap was set. Did the Night King know Jon was coming? Did he have a similar vision about the arrowhead mountain?

The thing that sticks out to me the most about this season is the dialogue. It's often very bad. I don't recognize Arya or Sansa as characters. That's not even a "bububu the books" complaint, I'm talking about previous iterations of Show Arya/Sansa vs what we have now. Is Arya probably playing a game, and setting up Littlefinger? Probably. But good lord it doesn't feel authentic or compelling at fucking all.

Meanwhile Bran is nowhere to be seen. Surely he'd want to talk to Jon before the mission? And given that Westeros Wifi ensures communications reach their desired party within a day...clearly there would be time for him to give Jon some tips, warnings, whatever.

And where is Euron? He just wrecked shit for a few episodes and then suddenly disappeared? Wasn't available to attack Dany's fleet huh. Oh it's all convenience plotting.

If anyone is bored or looking for something to listen to on a drive or while they work, I think this is a good listen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7K6lIj1fZA&t=180s

Some quotes I liked:

-On Winterfell
"You have to actively forget everything for Arya to be angry at Sansa. To say I saw you up on that stage with a pretty dress. Like I’m sorry, I seem to remember a scene in which Ned’s head got cut off and she’s screaming in pain, like bawling, because her father died. I also seem to remember a scene in which Ned himself is playing along with the Lannisters. And Arya herself played along with the Lannisters at fucking Harranhal when she was Tywin’s cupbearer. So to sit there and blame Sansa for writing this letter under duress when Ned and Arya herself did this, it’s so aggravating and mind numbing.

The motivation makes no sense. These two sisters fighting. It’s just hard to imagine two sisters that have been through what they’ve been through - even if they didn’t even like each other in the first place. They did have a problem with each other obviously but at the same time they didn’t have that much of a problem with each other. A lot of us don’t get along with our siblings but at the same time, if your parents both were killed, and your brother, and then you go back to see this sibling that you dislike, would you be really accusing the other one of their death unjustly? Or would you kind of you know, at least tolerate each other or band together having been through so much crap? It’s just not believable that they would be at each other’s throats.. over a letter that wasn’t even in Winterfell."

-On director Alan Taylor's comments about the show being criticized. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/21/arts/television/alan-taylor-director-game-of-thrones.html "I’ve only looked at one review online, and it was very much concerned with the speed of the ravens. I thought, that’s funny — you don’t seem troubled by the lizard as big as a 747, but you’re really concerned about the speed of a raven."

"It’s disingenuous because we all understand that there’s in-universe logic and when you violate your own in-universe logic you’ve established - like that’s the whole thing about fantasy, right? You first establish a setting with in-universe logic and then you play by those rules. It’s the same thing where like Imagine if I was playing a game of chess and half way through the game, I picked up one of my pawns and I moved him accross the board and I took your king. You’d be like “Well you can’t do that.” And i’m like “Well I’m sitting here in a game where Rooks do that.” You’d be like “You’re a fucking idiot." The rules of the game are that rooks can do this and pawns can’t. We’ve established the rules beforehand. You don’t break your in-universe logic. So for him to be like “Oh, this is a universe with dragons.” No, because you fucking established that this is a universe with dragons. You did not establish that this was a universe with super sonic ravens. And it’s not just the one thing. It was a fucking pile of shit."

-On why the internet turned on the episode
"I think it was a perfect storm of mistakes. On one hand, in a macro sense the mission doesn’t make any sense. I used my mother as an example. She is calling me on the phone going “I don’t understand why they would go north of the wall.” I’m like “Well, they’re supposed to be picking up a white walker for Cersei.” And my mother’s like “But it’s Cersei. She’s crazy. And didn’t they destroy her army last episode?” My mom is only a casual - a couple seasons ago she was confusing who Ramsay and Theon was - she’s not insanely into the details, but she’s sitting there going “This just doesn’t make sense”, on that macro sense.

With Hardhome you could say “Well yeah Jon Snow wants to save the Wildlings. That makes sense.” With the Battle of the Bastards, you could say “Jon Snow wants to save his little brother.” That motivation makes sense. A lot of other things about the episodes didn’t make sense, but you get the macro motivation."

I thought that outside of the last 10 - 15 minutes, the episode sucked.
They literally spent like half the time setting up the truce thing then to be like "Haha! We're not doing it! That 45 minutes could've been done in 10!"
Then the whole Theon thing too way too long.
The Arya/Sansa thing was forced and stupid and now you have Arya, this faceless assassin stuck in Winterfell for no real reason other than to kill littlefinger. What a waste.

And the whole "Jon isn't a bastard" thing was overly dramatic, over wrought and over long.

LMAO, after all these seasons all the Littlefinger fuckery amounted to absolutely jack shit. I always said that he was a terrible schemer and was just spinning his wheels. I said this much a couple of years ago on GAF no less and was shouted down. Still though, kind of disappointing the way he went down, I thought he'd be more of a threat. I guess they're tying up all the loose ends in a hurry.

Cersei continues being an epic bitch and outsmarting everyone. She's still dumb if she thinks that she and the golden company stands a chance against the army of the dead. I guess she's hedging her bets on Dany and Jon prevailing by the skin of their teeth and then pouncing on them. Still doesn't understand the gravity of the situation brehs.

Also, without that stupid plan that amounted to nothing in the end because Cersei is a backstabbing bitch the army of the dead would not have a dragon to destroy the wall and possibly couldn't cross the wall. GG guys.

I guess the show just keeps people alive so they can have 1-2 minute "hey remember that stuff that happened to us 3 seasons ago?" conversations. The first part of the episode was largely dominated by shit like that, some being good some being ehhh. Can't help but wonder why so many characters are kept alive with nothing to do. Varys goes from having a WORLD WIDE spy ring to knowing nothing and being of zero use to Dany. Davos just travels around with Jon for whatever reason; you'd think he'd be a nice Hand but he barely gives Jon any advice during the season, and probably would have been of more use in Winterfell. Speaking of Winterfell, Jon basically left Sansa with no one who is close to him. Why the entire cast had to go to King's Landing, who knows.

I continue to be baffled by why Dany even needs a truce. She just decimated the Lannister army. They have no means of stopping her. Nor do the Lannisters have enough allies or men to significantly help. Furthermore aren't there a bunch of castles left with no one controlling them? Surely she has enough men to house Casterly Rock and Highgarden right. Wouldn't you want garrisons in Westeros to check Cersei's power...

I just don't get why they treat so much of this so trivially. There are no rules to anything. Everything boils down to what the writers want and when.

She took out the supply train and the rear contingent, but the bulk of the Lannister army made it back with the gold.

They allude to this in episode 4.

Ah, ok. Well...she landed her entire army near Highgarden for that battle. Could have taken over Highgarden and Casterly Rock, including  taking one as a temporary seat of power (instead of having to sail back to Dragonstone every time she wants to have a meeting). Then all she'd have to do is take Riverrun and the Lannisters would be completely neutralized from invading on land. They'd have to ship their army via Euron to the north, and it's winter so that's not a good idea.

I guess the show just keeps people alive so they can have 1-2 minute "hey remember that stuff that happened to us 3 seasons ago?" conversations. The first part of the episode was largely dominated by shit like that, some being good some being ehhh. Can't help but wonder why so many characters are kept alive with nothing to do. Varys goes from having a WORLD WIDE spy ring to knowing nothing and being of zero use to Dany. Davos just travels around with Jon for whatever reason; you'd think he'd be a nice Hand but he barely gives Jon any advice during the season, and probably would have been of more use in Winterfell. Speaking of Winterfell, Jon basically left Sansa with no one who is close to him. Why the entire cast had to go to King's Landing, who knows.

I continue to be baffled by why Dany even needs a truce. She just decimated the Lannister army. They have no means of stopping her. Nor do the Lannisters have enough allies or men to significantly help. Furthermore aren't there a bunch of castles left with no one controlling them? Surely she has enough men to house Casterly Rock and Highgarden right. Wouldn't you want garrisons in Westeros to check Cersei's power...

I just don't get why they treat so much of this so trivially. There are no rules to anything. Everything boils down to what the writers want and when.

She wants to send her men north, not have them sitting in castles keeping Cersei in check


I was expecting Jon, or more likely Cersei, to ask why the fuck Jon had an emissary arrive at the meeting he set up and was present at

A handful of dudes in shiny armor, standing on horses, safely behind their armies, tend to be a bit more important than dragon fodder.

But then again, it's Muhdragons. Been playing queen for 6 seasons, still doesn't know what the fuck she's doing. What did I expect.
Title: Re: Game of Thrones Season 7 Thread | Winter is Here
Post by: Steve Contra on August 29, 2017, 06:29:39 PM
She came to rescue Jon, why would she go kill guys in the background instead of the horde attacking Jon? And she doesn't know the wights die when the white walker who created them does. There's like a million other things about that episode to complain about.
Title: Re: Game of Thrones Season 7 Thread | Winter is Here
Post by: Raist on August 29, 2017, 06:49:37 PM
She was told everything anyone probably ever knew (at least for the past few thousand years) from first hand encounters by Jon.

The way the whole scene was set up didn't make any fucking sense. She came with her three dragons, and it was clear that just one already could plow through hundreds of wights in a heartbeat. She could have cleaned the place within a couple of minutes, instead of fumbling around trying to get 10 people on a dragon's back while they're still fighting with wights.

Make the NK kill one immediately, making her realize that they need to bail. Make her go with 2, leaving one at Dragonstone just in case, so with one dead they really need to bail. Make her try to burn the whole place down and the NK pull some magic to stop them.  It could have been handled in ten different better ways. The way they went was really dumb, all for the sake of a few minutes of shiny CGI and "tension".

She didn't know about the "everyone they've raised dies if they do" info as that was learned on this expedition.

She couldn't possibly know who the NK was, nor do I think she'd focus on 3 dudes out of a horde of thousands attacking her friends.

Why do you care so much about the whole "kill these and they all die" thing? It doesn't matter. I'm not even talking about this.
The way it was set up she could have wiped them all regardless, instead of staring at Jon like a deer caught in headlights.

If they can't get their shit straight with 3v0 dragons, how is that gonna work out with 2v1 plus the OP ice javelins.
Title: Re: Game of Thrones Season 7 Thread | Winter is Here
Post by: Steve Contra on August 29, 2017, 07:25:07 PM
Why would she wipe everyone out before Jon was safe though and risk him? She didn't know about the spear yet, so why not rescue everyone, and then wipe them out? It's a strange thing to be hung up in an episode that made as little sense as that one.

Why wouldn't Jon tell her all the pertinent details about the WW when he spent days at Dragon stone? Any way you slice it, the scene was handled awkwardly, just like when Bronn and Jamie dove in the water. It's a lazy handwave to say oh Dany is just dumb, or she didn't know. Let's call a spade a spade, the creators are less than competent in many cases.
Title: Re: Game of Thrones Season 7 Thread | Winter is Here
Post by: Human Snorenado on August 29, 2017, 07:37:39 PM
Yes, absolutely. However, I don't think her actions once she got there were stupid. Everyone was about to be overrun; her primary objective was to gtfo with everyone alive. Then one of her dragons got killed. So no, I don't think having her notice a small group of dead dudes on horses set back from the main battle when she's in the thick of it is a cause for complaint.

Now, the whole scenario IN GENERAL is stupid and her rushing off is certainly stupid. But her actions once she's up there? Nope.

Sam did kill a WW but I don't remember there being any wights around.

Edit: I have to admit I hated the whole "Kill the leader = kill them all trope" rearing its ugly head yet again, but if you think of the Night King and WWs are people who warg into the dead, then it makes sense. And pushes the whole Bran = NK thing further.

Hey brehs, something just occured to me. Jaime went rogue and is riding to warn The King In The North about Cersei's betrayal, right? So there's a chance he will meet Bran, the guy he threw out the window and crippled for life. That conversation should be a hoot.

Beric knew exactly who the NK is. Somehow didn't get the idea to repeat to Dany exactly what he told Jon though, for some reason.

I'm sorry but I have a really hard time thinking that how the scene was handled once Muhdragons got there made any sort of sense, considering she came with 3 fucking fully grown dragons but somehow panicked, fumbled and bailed, while 10 dudes who spent the last few days freezing their balls off, had to fight a bunch of times already, and pretty much didn't sleep managed to hold off the horde for about as much time as Dany did. Like please.

She's pretty reckless with the dragons in general. Despite events pointing to the contrary she still seems to believe that they are invincible. The dragon got hurt two times, previously, once when she attacked the Lannister army and before that when the Harpy people attacked the dragon.

Raist, I don't believe Daenerys had met Berric at that point.

He was sitting on the same dragon wasn't he? They could have ended it right there. Unless wights can fly, once they were on Drogon they were pretty safe. Just had to dodge NK's aim, but he quite clearly can't noscope either so.

Rewatch it. They were waiting for Jon to get on when Viserion goes down, and still waiting for him before they had to take off. Like I said, it's a weird thing to get hung up on when the rest of the episode makes little logical sense.

Also she was seeing a vast army of ravenous animated corpses for her first time ever while flying over a strange land, so it's kinda reasonable she didn't immediately think "I bet disrupting their chain of command is the key to defeating them."

Can we talk about how all of Jon Snow's plans since he was revived seem to be designed to get himself killed again? I don't know if it's intentional, but he's really been the guy who came back to the office halfway through his vacation to deal with a crisis.
