they really are changing big parts of the story and characters from the book (even to the point of changing a person from good to bad or vise versa).
I understand time constraints and budgets but damn! but it's still a very good series and I want more.

Great series and like you Micah I can't wait for the next episode(s)!no series or movie ever truly follows the books 100%... Plus your own imagination can twist a character's appearance to something different to that of the director's ideal, or even the available actors.

Tyrian, far beyond anyone else. Both the character and Peter Dinklage's portrayal.
I love every scene with Little Finger and Varys. I haven't loved a hateful rivalry this much since Londo/G'Kar from Babylon 5.
I find Arya's path very interesting, and horribly tragic.
And, I really love the character of Daenerys, but honestly, I'm not super-fond of Emilia Clarke's portrayal. I don't think much of her as an actress.
And Sam Tarly.

Anyone else :rant: about the constant re-castings of actors on the show?
Daario Naharis, the leader of the Second Sons is being played by a new actor since the beginning of this season, we're at actor number three playing The Mountain and there have been quite a few before that.
Even Shea looked somewhat different during the trial, I had to check IMDB and credits but they say it's still Sibel Kekilli. :shrug:
So it's not only will the character get killed, even the actors playing them get swapped quite often. :-\

I think the recasting problem is this: They cast darn good actors for very small roles. Since it's such a large ensemble cast, those actors in the smaller roles aren't really making enough to earn a living. So, they're out trying to find more full-time work, and when they DO, they have to bail on the GoT stuff.Sounds about right... plus only 10 EPs a season, and chances are they appear in only about half of those if they're lucky.
That's my take. :shrug:

Are you kidding me? Saying 'turncoat' in game of thrones is like saying "I'm smart enough not to die". Is Jaime a monster for killing a king he was sworn to protect, that was himself a monster? Is Tyrion a monster for breaking Shea's heart, hoping to save her from a terrible fate? Is Brienne a turncoat for her shifting allegiances? And how, exactly, is it morally wrong to change your allegiance when your former lords treated you like crap? You know... kicked you out of the kingdom? Uprooted and destroyed your life, took your lands... etc, etc, etc. I'm not saying he's sterling, but he's been crapped on undeservedly. And now repeatedly. YMMV
And, pfrsantos... you GET that the morally gray slate of the world is a major POINT of the series... right?

I took the entire story, and Tyrion's deep fascination with his cousin's desire to destroy... along with Jaime's comment on how unimportant the act was, compared to all the people who die as a sort of allegory to the world they live in. The great, unstoppable fate eventually crushing them, with a purpose none could comprehend. Tyrion shows his own nature very clearly in this scene. Given all the power in the world to callously, and pointlessly crush even something so seemingly unimportant as a bug, something completely incapable of resisting his power, he instead releases it. It feels to me strangely like one of the most noble deeds we see on the show.
The Mountain, known as a needlessly brutal fiend, crushes 'the bug'. And seals Tyrion's fate. So, Tyrion is a bug, to the fates, and a God to bugs. In a fairy tale, that little bug he spared would gnaw through the ropes to free him at an opportune moment, or whatever, but in this world, it was probably just stepped on off screen by a guard later that afternoon.
I'm curious if this is about how others read that scene.

Can someone explain to me what Game of Thrones is about? I've asked numerous people I work with who watch it and no one has been able to give me a clear answer.
HOPEFULLY no spoilers.
The story takes place in a fantasy world something akin to the Middle Ages of Earth. There is magic in the world, but it has all but died out at the start of the story. Most of the story takes place on the western continent, called Westeros. It's divided into 7 Kingdoms. The seasons are rather random in the world, so a summer may last many years, and a winter may last many years. It has been summer for something like 7 years now. Bountiful crops, no long periods of starvation, etc. There are Old Gods, a pantheon of 7 (The Father, The Mother, The Maiden, The Crone, The Warrior, The Smith, and The Stranger), and there is a New God, a singular monotheistic deity.
The story can be explained most succinctly by saying that it's about the noble houses from the various kingdoms, each trying to exert their control over Westeros. Virtually every character of any importance claims membership of a noble 'House', or allegiance to one. In addition, each house has a sigil, an animal that represents them.
This all leads to blackmail, assassination, plots, rumors, war, while real external threats loom on the horizon, largely unnoticed by the kingdoms as they do their best to kill each other. Magic is returning to the world, and with it, ancient evils.
The series of books is called 'A Song of Ice and Fire', and it is very much building to that.
The cast of characters is VERY large, and can be confusing. There is a fair amount of nudity, and copious amounts of violence. Characters you assume have some kind of 'plot immunity', meaning that they're important, so can't die, in fact die left and right.
All of the scheming is trying to get one member from some noble house onto the throne, and take over the seven kingdoms. Hence 'a Game of Thrones'.
Hope this helps some.

Just finished an unabridged dramatisation of the third book on audible. The TV series is a bit tame in places!

Ah audio books, good idea. I used to listen to those while I worked, but I listened to all the ones I had. Ive not read any of the books of this series, so I think I will get them and listen while I work in the shop tomorrow. :tu:

Read somewhere that the Hound is a replacement direwolf to protect the the Stark girls when they need it? My favorite quote of his; The Hound: You're a talker. Listening to talkers makes me thirsty and hungry. Think I'll take two chickens.
Polliver: You don't seem to understand the situation.
The Hound: I understand that if any more words come pouring out your smurf mouth, I'm going to have to eat every smurfing chicken in this room.
Polliver: You lived your life for the king. You're going to die for some chickens?
The Hound: Someone is.

Funny moment. The show is on TV here, and my mother was watching it a bit. (she doesn't follow the show) All of a sudden she shouts out in astonishment while watching a scene happening in King's Landing: "I know that place, I was there!"

Medieval Europe daily life with made-up names for the different realms.

Will be watching s4 ep 10 very soon (within minutes).
Ep 9 seems to be about the most expensive episode to date. They really threw a chunk of budget into it. Lots of special effects, lots of extras, lots of practical effects.
Also... wow.

NO! they change a lot as you read on...big time, but most I can understand for time constrictions and TV formulas (like more love/romance) but as you read you will see how much is changed.

having seen the 4 episodes...Show contentEpisode 4 ends on a real cliffhanger..
I did like the tiny changes.. not only the guy who dies, but the little stories that were added... with Ramsay skinning that nobleman and his family and with the story of how Shireen contracted Greyscale....
Also they removed all the unnecessary princes, may they be called Targaryen, Greyjoy or Martell as well as silly zombie redhead-noblewomen or pig-riding-she-midgets...
The season is sooo far away from the books already...

I do not want t be one of those complaining "it was not like that in the book" and just want to enjoy what I am watching
what I did notice was that there were a lot less "proper" sex or sex scenes than in the previous seasons (OK, there was a "manly" scene). Several female actors that have exposed themselves a lot previously have now gone all shy. Maybe the age rating for this season is lower too.

Well, there were quite a lot of boobs to be seen :) I think I'll have to watch the scene with Tyene and Bronn again :cheers:
And of course there was that scene where Melisandre tried to seduce Jon. Somehow Carice van Houten (the Dutch actress who portrays Melisandre) always has trouble keeping her clothes on :think:
Emilia Clarke won't play any adult scenes anymore.

I also think that one of the issues is that they have slowly managed to kill off most of the interesting characters (and known actors).
There is no really strong/violent/interesting/sexy storyline in progress currently, though this may change soon.

For posterity, this post is made the day after the last episode of season 5 aired.
The fandom is absolutely losing their smurf. :rofl:
One comment I read was someone bemoaning that 'evil is going unpunished while good characters die'.
Apparently, the commenter hasn't read any history.
If the show really is supposed to go 7 seasons, then we are just into 'act three'. This should be the point where the heroes are facing their worst crises. Even setting aside the possibly false conclusion that 'the good guys should win', this should be the point where things seem most bleak.
Still, watching fans losing it is, at least to me, hilarious.

In an interview with the American entertainment magazine, Variety,Nutter set the record straight saying: “I can say emphatically that Jon Snow is definitely dead.
“Kit Harington is just a great guy and Kit was sad to leave the crew. It’s an emotional feeling as well. But I felt it was important to set up the sequence as quickly as possible so you didn’t expect it or wait for it. I didn’t want it to linger. I wanted it to catch you by surprise.
“My concern was to take care of Jon Snow, and he's now deader than dead.”

Post by: Lynn LeFey on May 11, 2016, 04:05:02 PM
I think The Seven are represented by living embodiments in the show.
The Mother: Daenerys. She is called 'mother' by more people than anyone else in the stories. Meesa, mother of dragons, etc.
The Father: Tyrion. The father is the judge, and no one has been judged as much, or made judgement about people as much as Tyrion. The scene where he talks about his cousin crushing beetles is a perfect example. In a world that just randomly smashes the helpless, Tyrion picks up a beetle, examines it, and sets it free unharmed.
The Maiden: Brienne. She is almost always associated with the song 'Bear and the maiden fair', and is chaste.
The Crone: Until recently I wasn't sure, but now I'm fairly certain that it's Melisandre. Before a couple eps ago, I thought it could very well be Cersei. I also would like to see an arc of redemption for her, but that's my want, not necessarily what will happen. So, at the moment, I think it's Melisandre.
The Stranger: Arya. This one seems the most solid case of them all. The faceless embodiment of death.
Warrior: Jon Snow.
The Smith: This is the only one I haven't absolutely pinned down. For the literal interpretation, I'd say Gendry, but this isn't always obvious. 'Smith' might be less literal, and mean 'maker of things', in which case it might mean Little Finger, who has 'crafted' a great deal of things. Someone else pointed out that Gendry's position, son of the king, puts him in a similar position as Hephaestus, son of Zeus and blacksmith of the gods. Whereas Littlefinger... is frickin' LITTLEFINGER!

Tyrion, the third, and only living Targarian heir (re)weds Sansa, the next in line of the Starks, uniting the two remaining noble houses.
Jon dies, Dany dies, Tyrion and Sansa rule over what's left of the seven kingdoms.
All seems rather obvious to me. :D

Jon, Daenerrys, and Tyrion are the three heads of the dragon. Jon is Azur Ahai, and will alight his sword Lightbringer by plunging it into Daenerys. This is part of the covenent with the White Walkers. The Wall isn't to keep White Walkers out of the South. It's to keep humans out of the north. Jon killing Dany being a condition of bringing ice and fire back into balance.
Tyrion, the third, and only living Targarian heir (re)weds Sansa, the next in line of the Starks, uniting the two remaining noble houses.

I agree that I can't see a happy ending for Jon or Daererrys. I do think though that the death rate has to slow down, we're simply running out of characters that we are sympathetic with. If everyone dies before the end then who's going to want to watch?

If you notice, the entire 'map' shown in the intro is concave. They are, literally, all living in the eye of a giant named Macumber. Although, this is probably NOT true, because the story is only in the TV show, and not the books.

I know it's silly to say I didn't see it coming, it's Game of Thrones and anyone is fair game, but that was a real gut punch indeed. Also Bran now has to live with the fact he destroyed Hodor's life some 30 odd years before in order to save his own life.

This might not be the last time we see him. Hodor could come back as a member of the army of the dead. This is a special horror we haven't seen yet, recognizing someone we love turned into a shambling monster. :(

Soo... as Bran warged into Hodor, because he is a greenseer it bled into the past Hodor (Wiliam), I've got that from that scene. Does it mean that young Hodor saw himself being attacked by the whites in the future as he held the door? Was that the traumatic event that caused him to become a bit slow? Or was the warging into a human that did that?
I was wondering about that as well. My guess is that it was simply that Bran pushed the command onto him too hard. I never got the feeling that Hodor knew what was coming.

S06 E09, B of the B, might be the first episode I actually LIKED this season.
I can't place it, but the whole season has felt OFF. Someone suggested that after surpassing the source material, the problem is that the dialogue isn't coming from GRRM any more, and that might be it, or part of it.
There is most definitely a couple other factors. One, as the show moves into the 'third act' of the story, we're seeing a shrinking of cast. And, also, as it moves into the third act, we're seeing a BIG ramp-up of the fantasy elements.
Show content
I had a serious problem that Wun Wun (The Giant) showed up on a battlefield and no one in the Bolton Army seemed to blink a f-ing EYE at that.
"Hey... uhhh... Lord Ramsey, I can't help but notice that the one wildling guy... just there... is standing head and shoulders... and torso... over everyone else, and seems to have... ahh... just PUNTED a horse. I'm just thinking... just spitballing here... that maybe that gate, meant to stop men... MIGHT not stop him. Also, if they have a Giant, they might have Grumpkins and Snarks, and I didn't sign up for that sh!t."
The battle was pretty epic. In fact, it was awesome. Dany's terms of surrender scene was pretty excellent.
The 'GRRL POWER' thing is wearing SUPER thin. I like strong female characters. I DON'T like that right now, it seems EVERY male character is groveling at the feet of the super-awesome-wonderfulness that is feminine leadership. Dany, Sansa, and Asha.
I guess it doesn't help that Jon Snow is still about as no-nothing as he's ever been. Super strategy FAIL! But don't worry, Jon, it only cost a few thousand people their lives. No big.
I'm going to have to say, Ramsey's end was incredibly satisfying and perfectly apropos.
Is it weird that I cared WAY more when Hodor died than when Rickon died? Oh, by the way, there was this one Stark kid named Rickon. Remember him? No? Don't feel bad. No one else did, either.

B of the B is definitely the strongest episode this season. There's been other incidents that have been very effective and well done, but a lot has been pretty forgettable. Totally agree with your summation of the episode, with Sansa's little smile at the end needing special attention. That gave me a little chill down my spine.

Post by: cbl51 on June 22, 2016, 11:04:18 PM
I liked the battle strategy. Reminded me of some early episodes of Vikings. The shield wall tactic is brilliant! Been used since the times of Alexander the Great by several armies.
:salute: :tu:
I remember reading that the Romans used the shield wall in conjunction with spear to create a near impenetrable wall. The soldiers of the Legions were trained to spear the guy not directly in front of them, but to the front right or left. This was a deadly tactic that the hordes of Germanic tribes were killed by.
Post by: Lynn LeFey on June 22, 2016, 11:24:34 PM
Tactically, the only thing I had GREAT issue with was that Wun Wun should have been able to punch a hole through that shield wall essentially effortlessly. He's like a war elephant. I assume the entire Wildling army fail is due largely to the fact that (as Jon said seasons earlier) they REALLY don't know how to fight in organized war. Even if Wun Wun had, the Wildlings wouldn't have been looking for the breach to capitalize on it. They're essentially a bunch of individuals instead of an organized whole.
Gareth, yes. The little Mona Lisa smile Sansa gave at the end of the ep was so awesome.

Just read that the Brexit might cause some budget cuts in GoT... since part of it is filmed in the UK and uses funds from the Eu.Not for a while. From what I understand, Britian will still be a full fledged member of the EU for the better part of two years, at least until the terms of leaving are negotiated.

That ep seemed even more murdery than usual.
About half of what happened was pretty dead on to what i thought would happen. I do have to admit that there were a few surprises, though.
Pretty awesome.

You can see lots of stuff like that in the battles, when you look away from the main characters in the foreground. Another thing I like is when you see an archer at full draw for more than 10 seconds without trembling...

I mean, killing Natalie Dormer's character, WTF!!!
First class eye candy.
I think they borrowed a bit from the Baptismal scene in The Godfather, with Cersei getting all duded up while everyone is in the temple, the somber background music, all set a feeling a something is gonna happen here, and it ain't gonna be pretty. The evil queen at her plotting and payback time. I get the feeling that her own payback is gonna be a Mutha!
It all looks like they are getting ready to wrap up the show with everything going against he Lanisters at last. Diana Rigg's charter Lady Olenna Tyrell, making a alliance for revenge with the Sand Snakes, Dany the Dragon lady finally gets her ships and sets sail with her army and air support. It looks like the Lanisters are going to end up like a walnut in the nut cracker.
But best of all, I LOVED the Frey back stabber getting his throat cut by the younger Stark girl. Looks like Arya learned a lot in the house of black and white. Besides Bronn, I've always had a fondness for Arya, she keeps her eye on the ball and doesn't shrink from slipping a blade into someone to settle an old debt. Dangerous little girl with a knife, I like that! Now that she's back in Westros, it'd be nice to see her and the hound meet up. They made a pretty good tag team in that tavern fight over the chickens.
They've really speeded up the killing off of major bad guy characters.

It's still so weird to me that the book this is based on still isn't released or even finished being written. Normally books come before the film adaptations.. normally... He's taking his sweet time on this one.
Than again what series takes 20 years to write the first 5 volumes (A Dance with Dragons took 6 years to complete) and we are still two volumes until the end. Martin is slacking so bad... we'd have seen the series over the holodeck with frozen actor heads if they waited for him to finish the books.
I don't know what you guys have with Natalie Dormer.. she's not even that... ow... wait... ::)

Everything! From the musical score, to the closure of some situations, beginning of other plots, swerve in some characters attitude...
The initial music was so peaceful and ominous, so unlike anything we associate with GoT. It set the mood perfectly for what followed. The peace Cersei achieved and the somber destiny for the cultists (and her son, ultimately).

Did someone else noted the similarity between Tommen's death, caused by Cersei, and Brandon being thrown from the window, also because of Cersei?...
Tyrion coming full circle, from behind the Hand to being a slave to being the Hand again.
Remember Arya, the sweet innocent girl from the first episodes? Aaaand... it's gone!

She has aged a lot.. especially if you see her in 300. Still a good looking woman though.
They were at Lesbos (considering the nature of GOT, the name sounds funnier than usual..)
That's make-up... She was supposed to be a "cartoon" queen in 300, flawless and unreal.
In GoT, she's supposed to be a tormented woman, who has been tortured, humilliated and lost her childs. She's supposed to look like that.

I must have watched a different show. I remember a wannabe young warrior girl who tormented her brother by outshooting him with a bow, and wanting to learn sword fighting. When the kong was coming to Winterfell for a visit, they had to snatch the helmet off Arya's head and tried to make her act more 'ladylike.'
At Kings Landing, Ned had Serrio give Arya 'dancing lessons' to appease her warrior girl leanings that were well known enough that her brother gave her the gift of Needle. A sword scaled down for her small size. I think the first season was filled with enough clues to hint at Arya becoming a serious player in the final fighting for the seven kingdoms. I think they were showing the viewers that a very hard substance was under a veneer in that girl. Now that she's become a very adept assassin, there's gonna be some real payback.

Maybe she has gone such a dark path lately that I remember her as I said. You are right, she always was something of a Tomboy but I still think she saw all of that like kind of a game, one at which she was better than her brother. The passage from that being a game to being her reality was quite harsh.

Arya's character has gone down some pretty interesting paths. She was always my favorite character (after Margaery :drool:), and i was pretty dissapointed in how little screen time she had been getting lately. Still, Walder Frey's death (and death and subsequent baking of his sons) was probably the most satisfying and poetic death in the show.As for this last (so far) episode...

We've seen great deaths, for one reason or another.
One of my favourites is from the guy fighting Bron, when he was saving Tyrion from prison. After Bron throws him down the hole:
"You don't fight fair!"
Bron: "No. But he did."
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
YES!!
That was one of my favorite scenes with my favorite character. The thing abut Bron is, he is so pragmatic about everything, and he has no illusions about honor or any of that. To him it's all about the money he gets paid, and surviving to enjoy what that money will buy in the way of drink and women or whatever. He latched onto Tyrion because he was a Lannister and that meant money. Bron is a sell sword first and for most. It's always about the money.
Rember that scene where they are going you to battle to save King's landing from the invasion by Stanis? Tryrion wished Bron "good luck my friend" and Bron says "Oh, we're friends now?" Tryion said that he thought they were and Bron reminded Tyrion that he paid him(Bron). Tyrion thought that the money 'enhanced' the friendship. Tyrion really didn't get it. When it came to crunch time and Tyrion was on trial by combat, Bron wasn't his man anymore. He'd been bought off by the Lannisters and he really didn't want to fight the Mountain anyways. Too big a rush for the money. The talk he had with Tyrion in his dungeon cell was very telling.
Through all the seasons and scheming and back stabbing, Bron has always been predictable and smart. Bron is for Bron. He doesn't care about who sits on the iron throne, he doesn't even care who he's loyal to. It's always about the money and his own security.
Plus I guess I'm a fan of Jerome Flynn from his roles Sargent Drake on Ripper Street. But he gets promoted to Inspector Drake in season three I think.

:think: :think:
Could it be http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/horary ? Kinda like a sundial or something similar?...
Orrery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orrery), they are super cool and some of them are super advanced!
Thanks! This was driving me mad (well, madder...)!

And for me, I think Ramsey's death has, so far, been my favorite. So very apropos. With maybe the awesome gold crown death for Viserys being a close second. No, wait... scratch that, I'm going Viserys first, then Ramsey. The only difference is we had so little time to learn to hate Viserys.

Everyone I've seen doing reaction videos to s06e10 have been elated about Arya killing Frey. I get it, but NO ONE seems to mention how very sad it is that Arya has become this killing machine. I'm not sure if that makes her more interesting, having her childhood stolen/corrupted. It fits GoT, though.

Another great death: Tywin Lannister.

Arya has become my girl!! love the transformation to a no nonsense kick a$$ person who's checking names off a list. Love that she's evolved and took charge of her own fate. Rooting for her all the way.
Tywin is a case study in stupidity. The man was a legend in his own mind.
He has a cople kids, two of witch are total losers. He its the KIngslayer in charge of an army, who then promptly gets defeated and captured, spending the whole next season sitting in the mud chained up. Jamie makes bad decisions. But not as bad as his sister. who's a total nut jun. But who does Tywin have to resort to; his dwarf son who he hates, tells openly he'd cast him into the sea expet that he was a Lannister. Then when Tyrion proves to be hero, he then removes him form the hand of the king position, sticks him in some basement room to recover, and then tried him for killing the king.
THEN, after all that, when he's caught with his pants down, literally, sitting on the can, and Tyrion tells him not to call Shea a whore, he does it again!!!
Now I ask you, if your VERY estranged son, who you've condemned to death, has a cross bow aimed at you, and tells you to not call her that, at that point wouldn't a prudent, smart man choose his words veeeerrrry carefully? Huh???
Apparently Tywin wasn't that smart!!

Apparently, you're missing one VERY important fact.
Tyrion is NOT Tywin's son. Or, at least, Tywin suspects this to be the case, and I'm 99% certain he's right. Tywin can't PROVE Tyrion isn't his son, so he has to treat him as if he was. Tywin is convinced that Tyrion is the son of the Mad King Aerys, who had a serious thing for Joanna (Tywin's late wife). People get caught up on thinking Tywin hated Tyrion because he was a dwarf. Tywin hated him because he was made a cuckold by the mad king, and forced to raise the king's smurf (edit: really, bast-rd gets 'smurfed'? huh.) as his own child. He says as much in the series, something about not being able to prove Tyrion isn't his son.
It's not clear in the TV series, but moreso in the books. Tyrion has a mixture of black and pale blond hair. More Targaryen blond than Lannister blond.
As for how Tywin addresses Tyrion before his death... I'd say he had nothing left but bluff, and used it... and failed.

I never read any of the books, and the TV show is kind of murky on that, or at least I'm dense enough that i didn't recognize it. My bottom line is, when someone has a weapon aimed at your chest, speak Veeery slowly and think veeery carefully what you say. The fact that Tywin tried any bluff at all given how Tyrion had been treated up tp that point, for whatever reason, is just proof that Tywin wan't near as smart as he thought he was. Dumb actually. First rule of life in violent times and places; don't piss off the guy who has your life under his trigger finger!

I'm not sure we're going to see her come back myself. It's been a few years since I read the books, but IIRC the leader of the Brotherhood was supposed to have given up his life for her. Since he's still around then I think they've given that particular story a miss.
Post by: Lynn LeFey on July 07, 2016, 08:28:27 PM
So... some of the stuff has to go. (shrug)
I liked the idea of Lady Stoneheart, but I'm not losing sleep over its absence from the TV series. And, if anyone cares, I haven't read the books. I just know a lot about them from friends and reading wikis. I have a terrible, TERRIBLE time keeping character names straight, and after reading the first third of A Game of Thrones, and being utterly inundated with character names, I gave up. I'd probably do better on a second read now, knowing more about what's going on, but I'm not hearing positive stuff about the latest book(s), so... think I'll pass.

It just feels a bit to me like they're struggling to cram everything in to these final episodes - we didn't even get to see the Lannister/Tyrell battle in this last episode! But we did have time for a prolonged Grey Worm love scene in ep 2!

Haha, no - but typically the GOT series does provide breathtaking battle scenes (Battle of the B-stards, anyone?) - so I just felt a bit short-changed.
Was there even a battle implied? I took it as more of a seizure/surrender...
I think it was implied - I seem to remember bloodied soldiers on the floor as Jaime walked past... but I could be wrong!
to be honest I did sometimes find the slow, brooding pace of GOT a little frustrating in previous seasons, but I'm just a bit shocked at how quick things seem to bed developing this time around. Still great TV, of course!

Enjoyed episode three - but...Show contentdoes anyone else think that this season is racing by really quickly? It was only the end of episode 2 where Jon gets invited to Dragonstone, then the opening of episode 3 has him arriving there! Must have taken the Westeros Express Ferry service...
It just feels a bit to me like they're struggling to cram everything in to these final episodes - we didn't even get to see the Lannister/Tyrell battle in this last episode! But we did have time for a prolonged Grey Worm love scene in ep 2!
good point.

The dragon's breath raining fire down on the Lannister army is something I've (we've all) been hoping to see for a long time! Excellent ending to this episode - also loved the Dothraki horde riding over the hills.
Another favourite part of this episode was Arya's sparring with Brienne. Good to see the remaining Stark kids back at Winterfell, even if Bran is slowly turning into Max von Sydow.

It's funny to see that what makes us say "that doesn't make sense" is not the dragons, it's seeing their behaviour. As if dragons make sense but they never do that, they have a total different behaviour.
That said, why did Daenerys attack the supplies and not the rows of fighting soldiers?

Post by: caninesapien on August 08, 2017, 05:14:09 PM
I'm not sure what to think about the gold... I read elsewhere today that surely it would be in the Lannister's best interests to perhaps be a little in debt with the Iron Bank - as then the Lannisters would always have the uneasy alliance of the Iron Bank following them around for future investments/battles etc.
Also, didn't the battle take place fairly near to King's Landing?

In my defence I also watched the new Twin Peaks that evening - so you're lucky I'm not talking about Jaime being in the Black Lodge!
I think it was definitely Bronn who saved Jaime - there's a post on the GOT Reddit which shows the screengrabs and it certainly looks like it's Bronn.
Post by: Gareth on August 09, 2017, 01:20:18 PM
Yes, I'm certain it was Bronn who knocked Jamie into the water. My guess is that he'll pull Jamie out and they'll both be captured leading to Tyrion meeting his brother and old friend.

I'm not sure how I feel about Arya lately... or Sansa for that matter. Some have suggested that Arya is more like Cersei than she realises... consumed with revenge and a furious loyalty to her family.

I would put the odds at about 100%. Minus how Tyrion looks in the books, Tywin had a line where he said something like 'They said I was your father so I had to raise you' or something to that effect, where it seemed pretty obvious that he knew the mad kind had forced himself on his wife.

No Spoilers from me!
I was under the impression though that all episodes of this "Last Season" were going to be like full length feature films and sadly the opener was an hour long like is standard?
Sort of Bittersweet overall to me.
Glad it is back but already sad it will be over so soon and certainly not worth the wait either.
Overall just a lot of reunions and some odd reactions from some characters who I thought were old friends seeing each other again to me.
And Brandon just creeps me out too.

Everyone except Cersei & The Mountain are in the same place that she is right now and what are the odds that this will happen again?
I am thinking that there will be some pretty huge tension around this as maybe Brianne stumbles upon Arya and the Kingslayer going at it during the fight?
It would be a great distraction for sure.

Post by: Gareth on April 23, 2019, 03:54:47 PM
I found episode 2 very satisfying. It was about the characters and their relationships, and after awl, isn't that what storytelling is about? I think they pulled off shooting an entire episode in one location extraordinarily well and can't seem to remember another episode where that was the case. This episode forces the viewer to look back at the past in contrast to present circumstances. For example, Jaime's many dynamic relationships with Tyrion, Brienne, Bran, Cersei or Theon's evolution as a character, the 3 remaining Night's Watchmen... I think a story of this magnitude needs to pay respects to the characters and acknowledge the journey that has taken place, just like any good book would. It can't be straight battle for 6 episodes... and now we have the arrival of the White Walkers at Winterfell, I'm stoked.
Agreed. It's as near to a "nice" episode as we're very going to get in GoT. Think of Shakespeare's Henry V walking though his camp on the eve of Agincourt, the lull before the storm.

The WW seem to be made of Ice too at least when they die so I can't imagine how she has an Ice Face really but on the other hand Plot Armor allows for some unexpected twits if that is what you want to call stupid writing and a mad rush to the Finale which is how it seems to me.

My guess?
It's all going to come down to the Hound and Arya. Dany is going to get killed doing a Kamikaze run on Euron and his fleet to get revenge for her dragon 'child' that got shot down. The Hound will take out his brother for all the years of hatred he's stored up, clearing the way for Arya disguised with anthers face sneaking into Kings Landing and doing Cerci like she did Walder Frey. Then she goes back north to act as bodyguard and right hand for her sister Sansa who will rule the north while Jon rules the south.
Dany is goig to self destruct because her heritage of the madness of her family line in going to catchup with her.
Just guessing.
Lady Brianne never recovers from her broken heart from Jamie, and opens a S&M brothel called "Mistress Brianne's House Of Pain" and makes a fortune. The Hound opens a fried chicken franchise and gets rich. The big red bearded guy goes back up to the frozen north and opens a ski resort that Mistress Brianne stays at for free. He never gives up hope.
Arya opens a chain of martial arts studios for learning to kill people in 8 easy steps. Sam and Gilly open a book store and coffee shop in Kings Landing and influence Jon to open the first public library.
And the peasants are happy.

Having Arya kill Cerci feels like too much of a re-run. I do think she and the Hound have to take down the Mountain, though I suspect at least one of them dies doing it.
Does Jon stop Dany before she fires King's Landing? Either by talking her down or by force? I'm guessing not. I suspect that Dany goes off half cocked and attacks KL showing herself to be a poor choice of ruler. So whatever the outcome Jon is forced to take on either her or Cerci and claim the throne. The Kingdom thrives under a broken-hearted king.

For a while there I was wondering if Cersei was watching from somewhere other than the Red Keep and she would let the opposition take it over then blow it up with wildfire.... but no. What happened was much more moving. Shame Jon couldn't do some remote Targaryan dragon-whispering to stop the mayhem.

Interesting that Arya was not her usual killer self, quite the opposite in fact.
I think that's exactly what she had in mind.
When Dany was crisscrossing the city burning it up, did you catch the flairs of green fire in the dragons flame aftermath? There was stashes of green fire all through the city and she was probably planning if the golden army didn't hold, then let the enemy in and as they take the city, blow it heck with green fire. But the dragon foiled that plan totally. Along with Dany's meltdown into insanity.

When Dany was crisscrossing the city burning it up, did you catch the flairs of green fire in the dragons flame aftermath? There was stashes of green fire all through the city and she was probably planning if the golden army didn't hold, then let the enemy in and as they take the city, blow it heck with green fire.
Yes I saw noticed that, although not much was made of it.

I’d say the Dothraki did exactly what Dothraki do.
I think Dany will die. Question is how. By the hands of Jon (Aegon) himself? Or maybe Arya will kill Grey Worm and use his face to get close to Dany and kill her? Or maybe Tyrion will honor Jaime’s “tradition” and become the Queenslayer?

Or maybe Jon (Aegon) is going to plot with Tyrion and the Onion Knight to stop Dany, she prevents that plot from happening and then makes the mistake of sentencing Jon/Aegon to die, only to see Jon/Aegon rising up from the flames just like Dany did before, because fire doesn’t kill the dragon. And then everyone knows it’s true that Jon is Aegon and the true heir to the iron throne. Dany falling on her knees in tears, defeated, realising it was all for nought. Wouldn’t that be a great dramatic scene!
The only thing that would make that scene really great, would be Dany on her knees in tears, and seeing Arya coming up behind her with that Valerian dagger in hand, and gives Dany the Little Finger treatment.

They missed a few bits out deliberately, I'm not sure if including them would have been good or just dragged the story unnecessarily (such as the discovery of Dany's death / Jon getting taken prisoner).
A shame Grey Worm didn't die. >:D

What I do think is creepy is the fact Bran knew this is what was going to be all along, meaning that all the plotting, twists and turns were made so as he could be king. They can say "he doesn't want it" all day long but the line "why do you think I came here?" rather gives lie to that statement.
Yeah I was sort of torn between what you suggest and him maybe just trying to be funny which would be completely foreign to us too.
What a creepy King! :think:
It turned out that Drogon was the character with the most common sense in the entire show in the end too.
I feel cheated really by the whole thing because of how terrible and Cliche this entire last season has been and I sort of wish that I had never stated watching in the first place.
On the other hand we see Roz naked in the 1st episode and I am not trying to kid anyone but that kept me coming back for a while too! :dunno:
I am Cheap maybe but also Consistent! :hatsoff:

Am I the only one that feels like they dragged it out a few EPs when it could have all ended sooner?

Eg: first I was hearing some say Episodes 1 and 2 were boring but Episode 3 was better, now I am hearing some say 1 and 2 were good but they didn't like Episode 3. :think:

I'm sort of satisfied by how things turned out, the unwilling king, we need some of those.

I spent the first 30 minutes thinking Stephen King wrote that episode, IMO a great story teller that doesn't know how to write an ending :facepalm: JMO

Funny you mention that. After viewing the last episode my first thought was about Stephen Kings’ The Stand. Building up the whole story, meticulously bringing all the characters to life, and then the whole thing ends in just a few hasty pages.

I am calling B.S. on this idea though.
Do we even know if Bran is a Human still?
It is not difficult to make a case for him steering every thing that happens leading up to his taking the Throne/Puddle by the few times he actually says anything to anyone and essentially he knows in advance what will happen and/or what he says will happen.
I think I would rather have Drogon on the throne at least he makes things happen directly!
So add to this the fact that most of what the series used 7 seasons to foreshadow & setup seems entirely abandoned in this last season and we are simply introduced to situations,characters and events that we have zero or almost no reason to expect or accept at face value in any way?
I am not talking about surprises or tricks here either but entire character and plot reversals that we have no idea where they originate?
Stuff 'n Things just made no sense?
Anyway I was really excited before the season started but then in short order it became clear that there was little attempt going to made to continue to finish a story that we have all become fixated on but instead that driven by source material conceived from thin air by people other than Martin we would be forced to accept nonsense and shortcuts with few mysteries answered or played out that I think we all had good reason to expect would be.
So regardless how I feel about any single episode or incident that took place,I do feel screwed in the end by the way things were played out.
And yeah I even started watching the Finale again last night too? :think:
Its like I cant live with it and I cant live without it. :facepalm:

And many more puzzling bits...

You might be right on all points you raised, but this is a story on such a scale I'm guessing it couldn't go on forever.
Never have and probably never will read the books, but I guess they could've worked in another season before ending it.......

I'm part-way through watching The Last Watch, a fly-on-the-wall look behind the scenes. One thing that came across was that Season 8 was much much bigger production-wise than any of the other seasons.

There's an interesting scene where all the actors are reading through the script together for the first time and you see their reactions to learning their characters' fates.
