Game of Thrones Season 7 - Monday Morning Torrenters Thread

Is it just me or has the dialogue got a lot more modern?

'Reliable source of information' seems more suited to a cop show than a dungeons and dragons show.
 
Also, a face is a face. There's probably plenty of people across Westeros and beyond who wouldn't recognise Baelish from any other face in the crowd, but it gives Arya one more face to hide behind, should she need to.
Why make a big deal about it being Baelish's face then? If all she wanted were more anonymous faces she'll have a wardrobe full after what she did to the Frays
 
I'm not a fan of there being actual physical faces, I always assumed it was a metaphor and the Faceless Men did it magically (see Jaqen Hgar changing his right in front of Arya when he gives her the Bravosi coin).

I'm imagining her walking around with a satchel full of them, like a fancy dress shop owner who's fallen on hard times :D

Given when the show had a smaller audience and budget they hired people to make the invented languages sound authentic, this may be part of the tonal shift towards the climax aimed at drawing in a bigger audience. They are pitching this at LotRs and Marvel Cinematic Universe type fans now. More accessible language may be a deliberate choice.
 
Wow. That was page 12. Are you going to quote every pedant's fallacy on the thread cause I'm pretty sure there's some less/fewer nonsense as well. Irregardless has been an English word for well over two hundred years and a perfectly fine one it is too.

Are you being pedantic about his pedantry?

I may well do. Surely you've twigged by now that one of my finest qualities is an aptitude for being a pedantic grammar twat?

No it's not. Irrespective, or regardless, pick one. Irregardless simply doesn't make sense.
Oxford English Dictionary said:
Irregardless means the same as regardless, but the negative prefix ir- merely duplicates the suffix -less, and is unnecessary. The word dates back to the 19th century, but is regarded as incorrect in standard English

Irregardless of your feelings on the subject it's a perfectly comprehensible word and none of us learn how to speak from the OED. It's a 'hoho aren't I clever' response to a particular word that you've learned. You haven't analysed anything or proved anything. It's just pointless fuckeries.
 
That's exactly what I'd accept you to say.
My opinion of you is so low that I genuinely and honestly don't know if you're trying to make some not relevant to this conversation point about using the wrong word or if you really are that illiterate and stupid. Honestly, I don't know.

Again, it's a particular forte that I've invested a great deal of time and effort in cultivating.

That's the most craven way of saying "I totally took your bait" :p
 
shagged his aunt and all, irregardless!

definitely nothing wrong with this ^ :thumbs:

Considering he tried to give Jorah his sword which can kill White Walkers, while they're on an expedition NORTH OF THE WALL!!!

Compared to that, accidentally shagging your Aunt is positively Mensa material.

Once again;

Very plausible theory that might have been staring us in the face all along and which might have huge repercussions...

The Stark children's direwolves seem to be pointers to their fates. Rickon's was killed by the Boltons, and he was killed by a Bolton. Robb's was killed by the Freys - as was he. Which leaves Sanaa's - Lady - who was killed by a Stark - Ned. Ghost is still alive but is called Ghost and Jon has come back after death. Brann's dog Summer was killed by the White Walkers, and Arya's, Nymeria, is off being a lone wolf...

spoiler tags? :rolleyes:

The season is finished. this is a spoiler thread and he is putting spoiler tags on comments. Sorry, but it's open season

And, erm, Rickon's direwolf was killed by the umbers, not Boltons. :rolleyes:

They were following Bolton's orders, so it's a reasonable enough comment.

And the only reason it's not a spoiler any more, is because it's at least three seasons old. I don't think it really holds up any more, now Arya isn't a lone wolf.

There are lots of these theories - see 'there will be seven survivors corresponding to each of the seven members of the Faith of the Seven' for example - and they're mostly just teasers I'm sure. One will be right but it's pure luck which one to choose.
