Game of thrones season 8 [contains spoilers]

The progression of a female character, from a child to a woman. Never mind child who was basically sold and then used as chattel, and then saw over the death of one of her abusers.

Eta, saw over two, was in control of one.

I haven't seen any of these. I have only just started watching stuff on TV. How do I go about it (I do not have Sky, just a normal box with BT Sport for spouse). Asking because my sole topics of convos seem to be either ranting or plants...need to broaden my social interactions and this seems like an easier way than Facebook.

I did read the books ages ago - mainly persevered as they were free (the books) and basically mindless tosh which evidently suited at the time since I did get through all 6 of them...but then again, I read all of Julian May's turgid Many Coloured something (Land? Torc? Gown?)

Incidentally, DotCommunist, I am reading a decent SF about intelligent plants (yay) which has your name on it if you want.
 
If you don't 'download' then NOW tv has them, I think.

You could actually catch up all 67 hours and reach the end same time as everyone else.

Quite easily, actually.
 
Further to what DexterTCN has said, NOW TV requires no contract at all so you can cancel it at the end of the month. And rejoin at a later date for a cheeky month if there is something else in the in the future you fancy.

You can either watch on a computer or mobile device or watch on to. But far easier than streaming it is to buy the stick if your tv has USB ports, and it comes with a remote. Costs more of course.
 
Indeed, and that's not her arc in the books at all.

I thought the last we saw of Sansa in the books was jumping off the wall with Theon at Winterfell.

Anyway good ep. Allbeit, I didnt' really know what was going on as the Now TV apps are atrocious shite accessability wise...

It's one of those setting up episodes. Some incely done interactions. Sam's I know you're the queen and all, - my dad was an arsehole and brother a twat but I might just need a moment was good. Tyrion's continuing decline.

GoT is primarily about power.

Lots of people have had power over Sansa and look at how they used it.
She now has some power and has been taught some hard machiavellian lessons.
She's now loath to for anyone else other than a family member to have power over her and mistrusts others with power (after seeing how many others got it and how they used it).

She is defacto running the Eyrie as a mother figure to Robyn Arryn and in the guise of Baelish's bastard daughter Alayne Stone.
Theon rescues Jayne Poole and they have made it too Stannis's camp, she was married off to Ramsey Snow as a fake Sansa.

A fake Arya, but yes.
 
I've had a thought. All the stuff about Sansa being clever as shit now.

I wonder if Bran is filling her in on everything?
It fits her character arc. She learnt from the most devious in the game. They do not have the space of the first 4 seasons to let the characters "breath" and show their strengths, they have to squeeze a huge amount into a short time but Sansa really seems to be given space to show her growth. That matters.

Yes but Bran told her about Littlefinger's shenanigans. She knew Cersei was lying (with a certainty) and she knew about the night-dragon although I can't remember if the night's watch have reached Winterfell to tell them.

It was just a thought. He is though.

With the exception of Rickon all the other Starks of this generation have shown very strong intellectual prowess. Robb was a master tactician, Arya was a survivor who raised herself from living of pigeons in Kings Landing to being a lethal assassin, Bran is a "psychic tree god" (TM) and Lyanna's boy is your colour by numbers bastard to hero.
Her siblings and cousins are bright as they come.
Even from being a 13 year old in the court of Joffrey, she had to learn to swim in a tank full of sharks. She had Olenna and Cerscei giving her monologues on how things worked, she ran off with Littlefinger then watched him play his games and worked then out, she was with Ramsey learnt from the master of abuse then got away from him.
When she got to Jon\Aegon she had had a master class in being a devious c*nt.
Arya had her own journey that had her own teachers in death and mayhem.

Two young children were thrown the wolves, those two are now a pack of very hardened and clever direwolves.

(In my wild guessing opinion)
 
The episode has been leaked if you can’t wait. In all the usual places if you’re into that shit. The file is about 350mb though so SD quality.
 
the ones that appeared early a week ago were all dodgy as ****, not even worth downloading and deleting
 
I flicked through the start. It’s certainly watchable but will happily wait for the morning what with it being bank hol and what not.

It was Arya that told her about Littlefinger's shenanigans. Cos of the letter hidden under the bed and stuff. That's what I got anyway.

Arya/anyone else didn't know about Baelish putting his knife to Ned's throat though, only Bran, Bran said it at the trial and Sansa didn't look surprised.

I'm not saying that Sansa isn't on top of her game, I've said earlier that she is and has been one of the (so far) best character progressions and she has learned from many extremely shit situations. I just think she may be getting helped by Dr Manhattan. It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing. Hopefully.
 
When you compare it to the Ygritte story line I'd agree. To be fair I never really see the need for long romance stories, or sex scenes.g.
(Hey newbie in this section - hi everyone, massive GoT fan and general geek)

Jon married Ygritte in real life so this might hamper how both Jon and Daenyrs actors act together. They are all young and inexperienced. It would put me off my stride knowing the wife was watching him have to seduce me in almost the same way/place except with added dragons

I'm trying to stay awake and watch Ep 2 tonight. Anyone else? (must read the rest of the thread)
 
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
Because they can make a LOT of money. Ozzie Man (or it might be Ozzie Guy) is so huge he got to interview GoT cast members. Two of my sons see being You Tube or Twitch stars as doable careers
 
I suspect you are going to require a list of other folk to add to your ignore list if you don't want your head to explode at the rampant misogyny/bullshit on this thread.
Thanks for your concern. I've never been one for ignore/blocks etc. But take what you say on board and with thanks x
