Game of Thrones Season 7 - Monday Morning Torrenters Thread

Tbf Bron wasn't wearing armour. And was very obviously not wearing armour in the previous episode compared to Jaime, cunt dad Tarley and *smirk* Dickon.

But yeah. One bloke in leathers falling into a river and dragging another bloke in armour underneath the waters and popping our miles away with armour bloke only half drowned is still very unlikely!

I was wrong anyway. They didn't pop out very far away. The battle is in the background when they're bantering, which is actually worse, cos there's a magic dragon and a horde of beardy maniacs running about. On the other hand, there's a lot to be said for the production crew's 'yeah that'll do, fuck it' approach to work.

since his weak lemon drink business was failing it was time to take up something with a monthly wage

'Are you a maester ANSWER ME!"

It was the Blackwater Rush, which flows so quickly even heavy objects get carried along and washed ashore on the, uhhh, opposite bank

 

[rekil]

Up the zombies.

 

[The Octagon]

This was an episode where they really could have done with taking more time or stretching into a further episode, there were shedloads of potentially great scenes (Jaime / Tyrion, Jorah / Dany, Jon / Dany, the less-than-magnificent seven's connections to each other at Eastwatch) that felt rushed and almost tripping over each other.

Even Gendry's return and subsequent eagerness to fight and connect with Jon was a little too neat and thematically on-the-nose. Although I did appreciate the dramatic irony of him thinking their fathers were best friends, when in reality they hated and fought each other to the death

Still plenty of good dialogue and acting in the ep (Emilia Clarke has drastically improved now she's acting against the other main actors and part of the main storyline).

The next episode looks great (although it's the Episode 9 equivalent, so bye-bye a few cast members I reckon).

Also - next episode = 81 minutes apparently

 

[The Octagon]

And for all your childish sniggering needs (the facial expressions are on point this episode) -

 

[Siouxsie]

I loved the way Daenerys melted when Jon stroked her dragon...that's not a euphemism!
The romantic in me wants to see them go at it like rabbits. They'd make beautiful children

Yes, beautiful, 6-toed and slightly slow children.

 

[Siouxsie]

Yes, beautiful, 6-toed and slightly slow children.

More toes to put pretty nail polish on...perfect!

 

[Flipstick]

Yes, beautiful, 6-toed and slightly slow children.

Danys parent were siblings (it's a Targaryen thing to keep the bloodline pure) and she's not been hit with the ugly stick. Although come to think of it we've never seen her feet...

Was the episode watched by stevie wonder and his mates? Bron never wears armour.

"420 blaze it"

 

[Crispy]

I think this was my fav

Who cares what her feet look like!

Do you think Dany gets bored some nights and paints Drogon's talons?

I think this was my fav

Thought that might get a decent response here tbf, apparently there's been a theme throughout these with 'lil Sam wanting Westeros to rise up and shake off it's feudalistic hierarchy

 

[The Octagon]

Quentin Tarantino

 

[mojo pixy]

S1, E1

 

[Siouxsie]

Do you think Dany gets bored some nights and paints Drogon's talons?

It's a skill!

 

[Gromit]

Yes, beautiful, 6-toed and slightly slow children.

They are obviously going to get it on... then Bran will turn up and do a creepy "I've been watching you two getting it on, oh by the way you're bro and sis (or cousins or summat)."

Bron is well informed for a sellsword.

What? There fathers Robert and Ned were best mates.

E2a.

Ah yes. Johns actual father...

Agreed, this episode particularly, but the whole season feels rushed. Inevitable there would be a lot of placing characters in location for the big fire verses ice finale but it's a bit jarring. The characters not really plotting any more, just reacting and rushing about.

 

[xenon]

Was still a good ep though. More reunion stuff. Sam getting angry, for once. Davos still rocking it.

 

[Gromit]

Bran is so booring I can't remember his name.

 

[Gromit]

Sam always gets angry away from people though. I want him to find his balls when he is face to face.

That scene with the maesters should have run like this:

No I'm not just a scribe.
I'm Sam the fucking Slayer. The first mother fucker in over a thousand years to kill a fucking Other.
You like writing books? Why bother if no one is ever going to read them?
Other maesters won't read them as you'll be the last ever maesters.
You'll be mother fucking dead when the wights come to fuck your arses with their dead maggoty cocks.
Pull your fingers out before it's too damn late.

 

[InfoBurner]

I'm going with the fan theory that Bran's name may be The Night King, due to some timey whimey, disastrous warging, to the age of first men. Would make him less boring

 

[Gromit]

Now that he is omnipresent his true name is All Bran.

 

[donkyboy]

not funny

 

[Gromit]

not funny

You're right. I messed up and forgot to add his full title All Bran - First of his name.

It's also rather unfair as one is famously bland and boring even with milk poured on top...

... and the other is a breakfast cereal.

 

[spanglechick]

Well, i prefer the pacing of this series - the combination of being freed from the loyal book wankers and their clamour for fidelity to overlong exposition, and the enviable satisfaction of this part of the narrative arc, where things come together, but none of the current series is boring, and I don't think that's been true of any series before.

 

[tommers]

I'm trying to figure out what I don't like about it. I think it's the lack of plotting (and yes baelish, I know) - it's turned into an action film. Look at Bron on the anti aircraft gun, oh now the heroes are going off to capture a zombie, here's hammer man with his big hammer, Knight man is back being a Knight. I know they just burned two people alive but it all feels less gritty. I don't know, I'm kind of waiting for the end a bit. It's all plot points, the bits in the middle have disappeared.

The characters have become caricatures. I think that's what is bothering me.
