Game Of Thrones Season 5 thread of windy words

[Phoenix Dark]

Also, that whole sequence just really goes to prove that Walking Dead is some fucking kindergarten shit

If it was Walking Dead, Jon would have rowed the boat into the middle of the zombies

Yes. They've been telegraphing all season that Ollie will be one of the betrayers. I'm just curious whether Thorne will be too. I'd guess it'll happen in episode 10. Perhaps Stannis will die in episode 9, Jon will get stabbed in episode 10. Melisandre will try to revive Stannis by sacrificing Shireen, pray for the savior to arise...and Jon will open his eyes. Fade to black.

They basically confirmed this was going to happen with Sam telling Ollie sometimes you have to do what you think is right no matter what anyone else thinks and than Jon "always comes back"

[Shaka Khan]

Snow's Valerian sword was hype as fuck. The four horsemen were chilling as fuck. The dread of the attack was thick. Not to ignore how well Tyrion and Arya's scenes were. Even Theon blurted out the bit about the brothers. Overall, it was definitely the best episode of the season. Things are happening, moving, thank fucking christ.

I FUCKING LOVED THS EP OMG

what does trill mean

[cool breeze]

do the horsemen control the undead? was the second boss timing his flourish to the dead rising or was he casting a spell or something.  I'm not sure if I missed lore about this.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Well I certainly didn't expect maybe my favourite episode of the series coming from this snoozer of a season. That was soooooo good. They've done such a good job of making the white walkers and the wight army seem scary as shit.

[Tasty]

I'm hyped as fuck to watch this, and my fucking dumbass roommate is watching some bullshit anime 

Punch him in the fucking face and turn this shit on

I'll gve you my hbo go key if nee be

Question about this episode:

Valyrian steel is just as good as dragonglass? No one knows how to make it anymore, right? And did they lose all of their dragonglass during that fight?

The whitewalkers (the ones on the horses) reanimate the dead. That guy was raising them back up as a fuck you to Jon.

As far as I know, Valyrian Steel is just as good as using dragonglass since it was made using some magic dragonfire bullshit in Valyria

And like all things in ADWD, everyone forgets the shitshow once a big fucking fight happens, in that case

A fucking dragon showed up, time to throw political intrigue to the wind

In this case so far we took a tour of the Walking Dead Alaska. Which in comparison at least trivializes most of what is going on in the rest of the show. I feel like they should have held this back to the end though, now it's like

Oh your fucking dragon is shitting up a fighting pit? Big fucking deal homie. Zombies and shit are coming

[close]

Still convinced Dorne is on the whole shitting the bed. The preview makes 0 sense. Also Ramsay apparently set to fuck an entire army with 20 dudes. Either the guy actually has an idea or we're going to see some dumb ass 300 tier shit where Stannis' army is utterly incompetent.

Fucking book names

So of my three predictions for Jon Snow

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Jon Snow:
- Goes to the wildlings. They wont follow. A White Walker attack convinces them otherwise.
- Jon gets in a fight with a white walker and kills it with Sam's Dragon glass

[close]

The first one was a gimme given how hamfisted D&D are.
The second, I'll take half a point for that one.

[studyguy]

That asshole kid is probably gonna side with Jon in the next episode. Then he'll probably be killed. For shock value.
I feel confident in this bet.

No way,
He's the one that thrusts the knife. Count on it.
D&D have been pounding into us the last 3 episodes "This kid is pissed about his parents and he's having a hard time with it."
Why do that unless he's going to be the one that does it.

Nah, it's all just a redherring. Another Bronn is poisoned bit. It'll end up with him helping in some way, then giving a solem nod because that's all he's worth before they execute the kid. I can see it now, the stans will gush at the misdirection.

[brob]

I kind of drifted out and stopped watching this show last season. I've mainly seen lots of complaining so far about this season, but is it still generally good? If winter finally, actually is coming, it might get a lil good?

You got a slog coming breh. Six episodes of not much but build-up. Power through it.

Could go either way. We'll see. But I'd be surprised if there's any stans left after this season

So Littlefinger's gonna kill Kevan isn't he?
Varys is gone, Cersei will be locked up till the trial. D&D setting up for him to maneuver his way on the the small council somehow or directly influencing the king as the hand or some shit.
 
That's my guess as far as the show goes. Somehow it seems to messy of a rise to me though. I hope I'm wrong, I feel like that's getting shoehorned in to basically set him up as that bad dude twirling his mustache for the season end.

It'll be Varys; my question is whether he'll kill Kevan and Littlefinger. The question is what will he reveal. fAegon seems to be gone. I don't see how him telling Kevan about Dany would be a major shock since he already knows about her. The show has to have something else under its sleeve right?

[close]

[studyguy]

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I question whether or not Varys will sail back all the way to King's Landing just for that, it makes sense since he's basically disappeared with Tyrion at his destination it doesn't matter much what he does now.
 
We'll see I guess.

GUUURM says he'll try and drop the next book in 2016.
Is Winds even preorderable yet? If not, I don't trust it dropping anywhere till the end of '16 if that unless we have a hard date by December of this year.
I'd expect his publishing house to give it at least a year of preorder time given the relative scale of fandom.

[StealthFan]

Best episode of the season by far.

When Cersei gets out, she really needs to just slaughter the sept down to the very last nun.

Pretending that Cersei isn't fundamentally evil and doesn't deserve every last bit of this is pretty derp.

Nothing they could do with that character could ever evoke sympathy, only schaudenfraude.

Walrus is a Walt White stan breh. He probably finds Cersei sympathetic.

When she said, "I'm right behind you"
I told my wife, "Oh no! She just turned herself into the funky black guy in all those horror movies. She is so dead."

[Nibel]

Wrote my thoughts in the superior forum and yeah, this was an incredible episode and up there with the GOAT GOT episodes to me. The last 15 minutes were TV masterclass; this is where all the energy probably went this season and it's so weird because I expected that shit was about to get tense at Hardholme for several reasons but never did I expect that a fucking onslaught was on the menu. I get a lot of fuzzy feelings when thinking about the episode, just great.

And while I know a lot of people love the horsemen imagery, I thought this scene is one of the best shots of the entire series, and it was so important that they nail it because it's the first time Jon encounters a White Walker iirc. Just good shit.

[Beezy]

Wrote my thoughts in the superior forum

 

[I'm a Puppy!]

To be fair, Nibel WOULD think that.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Also,
I'd like to point out while I've been a supporter of Emilia Clarke (I'd always say, "Come on guys, she's not THAT bad") after last night I have to agree with everyone and admit I was wrong. She IS that bad. Holy hell.

"I will break the wheel"

Perfectly fine dialogue but the delivery?

[Human Snorenado]

Yeah, she was sorta ok as a naive teenage girl- believable there. When asked to do anything else, not so much unfortunately.

[studyguy]

WHERES MAH DRAUGINS

[Phoenix Dark]

Yup and she was even worse with Dinklage. She's just bad. I thought Harrington (Jon) was pretty bad for years but he has been very solid over the last two seasons.

The best young performer on the show has to be Alfie Allen. I would have never guessed it.

Arya tho

[studyguy]

I don't find Arya's acting to be all that great to be honest. Not bad either, just whatever.
More to the point, the situations she finds herself in are interesting, but the actor itself isn't anything special.

I've been more impressed with Alfie.

Even a few minutes in the first scenes north of the wall I'd already sort of sniffed out that things where of a better quality than they've been for quite a few episodes, then things hit the fan and I was like oh yeah sometimes this show is great and can be great.

[bachikarn]

Why wasn't Dany pissed that the fighting pits had slaves? Or could she not figure out that Tyrion, in shackles, was a slave?

Honestly, the Lannisters have taken a bigger L all things considered. It's even right at the start of their names.

[king of the internet]

Damn, that episode just made up for the rest of the season. Dany's storyline got a much needed stimulus package with Tyrion's arrival.  Hardhome was easily the best action sequence in the show yet, my heart was pounding the entire time. My nicca Jon Snow owning the walker.

Too bad they had to wait this long to get gud but the next two eps should be pretty fuckin baller too.

[fizzel]

Even a few minutes in the first scenes north of the wall I'd already sort of sniffed out that things where of a better quality

That's been the north and the wall in general for five seasons now. Every time a scene lit with eery ghost light and pallid inhabitants comes on; my dick twinges with the anticipation of 15 minutes of quality entertainment.

[Steve Contra]

That fucking episode

Not really a single bad thing to say about it.  Not since this:



Has an episode ended so perfectly.  If they can keep up the pace of the last two episodes in 9 and 10 we can forget all the problems with the rest of the season.

[Kara]

4.8 seasons in and the Starks somehow still have 2 daughters, 2 sons, and 1 bastard still breathing.

One's a sexual slave to a brute, another is LARPing Assassin's Creed, another passed on the chance to be Warden of the North (I wouldn't hitch my cart to Stannis bin Laden either, but I'm not a Catholic priest with a sword), another is a cripple LARPing Of Mice and Men with one of the most unbearable characters in anything ever and the last one hasn't been on screen in forever so who knows what Starkefail they're up to.

Let's be honest, the only one not taking massive Ls is Baelish.
