Game of Thrones Season 7 - Monday Morning Torrenters Thread

I love the juxtaposition of Jamie as a character. In many ways he embodies the textbook villain.
Yet the textbook hero image of a valiant knight on a white charger bravely challenging a dragon with a lance. That's Jamie too.

 

[DotCommunist]

laughed at a review of ep 3 descibing dany as having a 'kneel before zod' vibe

Why not go full 'fuck it' and give the dragons some character, like the mutant turtles, and have the most violent one dish out one liners like "How about that for a....sick burn".

Arya would make an excellent Splinter-type character

 

[DotCommunist]

oh and that dagger will end up in littlefinger I recon

 

[cybershot]

oh and that dagger will end up in littlefinger I recon

Still think there's more to that, I think he gave Bran the dagger knowing he would give it to someone else, probably intended it to end up in Sansa's hands.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

No killing LF until he's met up for a chinwag with Varys!

 

[The Octagon]

Good camera / stunt work on the Brienne and Arya sparring, looked like Maisie Williams the entire time to me

Sansa pretty much = "what the fuck has happened to my siblings, they get superpowers and I got some vague politicking"

 

[JimW]

Good to see Ser Davos keeping up the less/fewer tradition. Bored sick of Daenerys already though.

 

[Chz]

Ever since Arya went evil, Ser Davos is my "no, you can't kill him - take the rest, but not him" character.

 

[Orang Utan]

She hasn't gone evil, she's far more complicated than that.

 

[DotCommunist]

So far all her kills have been righteous, if without pity or mercy. And maybe a bit too inventive. And there was that time she stabbed a random to death for lolling over the red wedding with his m8s. But still, justified in the main

How is Arya evil? Cause she killed some people?
So has Ser Davos.

 

[belboid]

No one is wholly god nor bad, that's one of the clear points of the show. Not even Jon or Cersei. Everyone is acting according to the hand fate has dealt them.

 

[Chz]

While belboid is the one who's most strictly in the right, I'm going to say that murdering an entire family's male bloodline is probably a turning point.

Now, the storyline may well be going along the "oh, she realises that may have been a bit much", but quite frankly I lost interest there a while ago and just hadn't realised it.

they deserved it though

 

[Chz]

*adds Orang to the "evil" list*

Note that this is a good list to be on, just means I'm not quite as interested in your story.

Everyone she poisoned had been there when they cheerfully slaughtered her family and retainers under guest rights. They weren't exactly innocents.

Aside from maybe Tommen, how many innocents are there in the story? Keeping schtum while your patriarch murders what he says are your enemies are is, in this world, a lesser offence really.

i think quite a lot of them took quite an active part in said murders

 

[maomao]

That was one of the coolest things Arya has done so far and she's done quite a few cool things. Nothing wrong with a bit of bloody vengeance.

 

[maomao]

The only think wrong with Arya is that she can't pronounce her own name. Whenever she says it she suddenly has a speech impediment and can't say the letter 'r' . I don't mind if other characters can't prominent her name but not being able to pronounce her own name is a fairly major defect IMO.

Keeping schtum?
They fired bows, swung swords and gleefully stitched Rob's head to the body of his dire wolf.

 

[Chz]

All of which makes her just as fascinating as Cercei. Who has plenty of equally good reasons for her behaviour. The whole point is to make you question right and wrong, for heaven's sake.

 

[Fez909]

Sam's pure.

Don't think he's done anything even approaching 'evil' yet?

 

[donkyboy]

sam's a good'un.

The end bit where arya and brienne of fucking tarth end with their respect dagger and sword at each other's throat, if you freeze it, you can tell they are plastic sword/dagger.

I really wanted Bronn to die. Think he has survived long enough. Hope he meets a horrible death.

 

[Voley]

Oh God. That battle. That was ace. Immediately rewound and watched it again. Missed the burning bloke being twatted by a horse first time round. Bloody brilliant.

In other news, I am disappointed to report that saying ''Dracarys!!!'' to my cat doesn't result in her incinerating the sofa.

 

[binka]

She could have cremated all of them without committing a single dothraki to battle

 

[donkyboy]

the dothraki like to fight. they haven't had a good battle in ages. let them kill, for crying out loud. quench the thirst

 

[Riklet]

Sam's killed a white walker, cured a serious case of stoned stonewhatsit and read loads of tricky books, all without being beaten up annoyingly for quite a while. Total dude.

Can't believe there are only 3 more episodes left. They are REALLY rushing it, the cheapskates. Even with a normal 10 it wouldnt be quite enough, judging by the current pace. The latest episode was great but cooooomeeee onnnnnn. Martin has clearly totally lost it, and with no books to work off, the focus just isn't quite there IMO.

Btw, was that Sir Bronn at the end there, then? Hope he gets his castle haha

It was Danny he was going to kill, not the dragon.

 

[Riklet]

Keep jousting for tournaments and learn to chuck a bloody spear, then!

She needs to die before she can utter "bend the knee" again.
