Game of thrones season 8 [contains spoilers]

[Lord Camomile]

Anyway, getting back to the series - I much prefer the character-based stories, the development, the politics, etc, so I preferred the last episode to a lot of the other more action-based ones.

The odd episode here or there, like Battle of the Bastards, is great, but to me they work specifically because of all the character work that's gone beforehand. Definitely think the ratio should be heavily in favour of plotting and scheming than blood and guts.

I feel like this is a gag, but can't risk it...

 

[The Octagon]

Lol at Tyrion's *I know what will help this tense situation with angry Northmen*

"Fear not, the Lannisters are coming to your aid"

Sansa's right, he's turned into a moron.

Rest was just setting the stage for the season, nothing overly exciting but some good character interactions and glad they're not dragging out the "Jon doesn't know he's banging his Aunt" drama.

They needed yon dragon to get through it.

I meant the walk from hardhome in season five, they weren't far off the wall by the time they got the dragon

Someone's noticed something about the very first episode.

From 4.00. Look who Robert touches

Ned (hug) - beheaded
Cat (hug) - throat cut
Rickon (hair tousle) - shot with arrow
Robb (handshake) - stabbed

and talks to

Sansa ("you're pretty") - is used as a plaything by Joffrey and Ramsey
Arya ("What's your name?") - becomes no-one
Bran "You'll be a soldier") - is crippled and becomes pretty much opposite of a soldier

I liked it, anyway

06:35


The whole video shows a number of foreshadowings, a few examples of the art of the walkers and a discussion of Jon Snows abs.

well, yes, but only out of curiosity when they've been posted here.

I find 'em pretty handy. Particularly when I was playing catch up ahead of the past couple of series and couldn't chat to other people about them.

Why do they go to the trouble of making them, when they could just write a blog? It takes much less time to read an article than watch a fucking vid and you actually take in what is being said

What? That video with 700,00 views in a day?

Personal guess but it might spoil a plot twist:

Spoiler

I bet Beric Dondarian turns out to be pretty important in the story. Even to the point where he may turn out to be Azor Ahai reborn.

He has been dragged around and given screen time right up to the last season without really having a point. It would be very GRRM for the religious woman not to have seen what was staring her in the face as she went after first Stannis then Aegon.

Why would you read something? This program is nothing to do with reading. It's all about watching. So people prefer to watch a video.

Plus reading sucks.

Different people have different preference es for receiving information shock!!

 

[Lord Camomile]

If people had wanted to read about Game of Thrones then they would have already written a book about it.

read that bran's "waiting for an old friend" comment is actually referring to Theon. Most fans mistakenly think it is Jamie Lannister he is talking about. This makes more sense.

 

[T & P]

Glad to see Bronn once more spoke the funniest line of the episode . Though credit where it’s due, Sansa scored a close second.

 

[Me76]

I am looking forward to watching from series one again when this is finished, although I am not looking forward to the drop in script writing that happen from five onwards.

"Which girl?" ?

The way GoT goes...Theon could end up a fucking hero.

That scene was well played I thought, Tyrion clearly trying to convince himself Cersei won't betray everyone and Sansa having none of it.

Sophie Turner's acting has improved a lot IMO. It's good that she physically towers over Jon and Dany as well.

It may be more that her character has moved from victim to protagonist. Before I generally only worried about what would happen to her next, now she's the one making many of the moves, taking care of shit, challenging everyone.

Indeed, and that's not her arc in the books at all.
