Game of thrones season 8 [contains spoilers]
- Thread starter Jon-of-arc
- Start date
Yeah, I did a bit. Kinda still think of Maise Williams as a kid, so topless scene felt quite cringe.
I didn't not enjoy this episode. I'm so invested in the series and characters that they'd have to do something pretty rubbish for me to not be entertained.
Buuuut.... As someone mentioned before, the lack of source material is really showing. I'm all up for some good talky bits, but I really didn't feel like this episode advanced the story much. Or developed the characters meaningfully. One or two interesting things happened - Jamie going before Danerys et al, Arya deciding that she wants to get laid before she dies, Jon and Danerys discussing that Jon was a Targarian, Sanda and Danerys trying to sort out their differences. But all these things were really underplayed, and most of the episode was just various characters saying "we're probably going to die tomorrow". Which would be good if it was done good, but I felt it was all a bit slow and pointless (and not in a stylised Better Call Saul intentional kinda way, more a "we've really run out of ideas here..." ting.).
Still, Giants milk.

That was a pretty big spear Gendry gave Arya.

First viewing I felt very much like you did. On second viewing I found myself feeling a great sense of attachment to each character. I am going to be very sad when some of them die next week

If you go down to the crypts today
You're sure of a big surprise.
The king of the dead is on his ways,
Dead Starks are starting to rise.

It’s not a spear it’s a stave with dragonglass at both ends isn’t it?

Troy and Abed in the morning
It's one episode. The Battle of Winterfell. The biggest battle in tv or movie history they say.
Anyway everything's there now. Everyone in the north is together...apart from maybe Danny, she just had some bad news. And people already think they know how she'll react.
Everyone thinks they're going to die.
That little girl that they convinced to defend the crypt...great scene. Set up by the worried man who was before her in the queue.
Pod training the others was good too. The way he was fighting so casually and just beating the guy without being bothered...just like Brienne when she was teaching him. Nice callback. And the fucker can apparently sing like he's in a LOTR movie as well!
Tyrion getting his shit back together and deciding the best thing he can do is get Brann in a room and sit and listen to him.
Tormund told a story about drinking milk but made it sound like the USS Indianapolis.
Bran said that the night king was coming south for him...but they were already on their way south. There might be something else he's coming for.
I wonder if evil dragonfire can burn Danny?

Why isn't Jamie on Ayra's kill list?
P.S.
I like spoilers. Fuck you.

Why would he be. Arya was with the Brotherhood and then travelling with The Hound when she was compiling her list. There is no reason for her to have place Jaime on that list. It was people who she knew had killed her family and friends or in some way threatened them that she put on the list.

The arrest of her father in Kings Landing springs to mind. (edited).

Miguel Sapituk has two episodes this season so we can expect two big battle scenes. Plus narrative structure etc etc, its the end of act two when the protagonists are supposed to be a their lowest point, that would be episodes 3 and 4. Its your getting back to Endor knowing the Death Star is on its way type thing. I am strongly of the opinion the White Walkers will not be defeated next episode, the ones that follow will have lots of action with them in them.
This was very likely strongly influenced by the set up to the battle of Helms Deep. In that you see the Rohan young and old folk worrying about the impending doom.
There is a theory that if Tyrion had been bossing it since he became Hand then Daenerys would have trusted him when he believe Aegon from the start about the scale of the risk from the Nights King. So, like in real life, even clever people fail and he did. Then at King's Landing he knew Cersei would betray them but went with it because he believed getting Daenerys army north was the most important thing so he lied to get her to be at Winterfell.

Deep fried chip butty.
Don't say sorry to Donkyboy, at first you'll find his posting style abrasive, then he'll drop some real misogynistic clangers and you'll cheerfully be telling him to take a flying fuck.
But he is only 14 years old, so you might let it pass.
Would be nice to find out what he actually thinks about the whole situation. Maybe he'll decide that he fancies a bit of power. Once he's actually won, what's the point of Jon Snow? I suppose he'll just end up backing up Danerys against Cersei.

Yipchaa!
I really enjoyed that.
Yes, the TV writers aren't GRRM, but I do like "ragtag band of unlikely comrades" stories, and you could feel the weight of the past seven series in a lot of the scenes.
And yes, did feel a bit awkward with Arya at first, but then I thought, fuck it, fair fucks to ya, go get whats yours.

Fucking boring. If I'd have known I only needed to watch from episode 3 onwards I'd have done something else with the last hour.
