Game of thrones season 8 [contains spoilers]

[Augie March]

Grey Worm is essentially Dead Meat from Hot Shots. Surprised they didn't have him try to sign his life insurance policy but have his pen run out before he went out to battle

 

[joustmaster]

I just keep thinking about Brienne's knighting. Not only was it everything she's wished for, but she also had the absolute admiration and support of her peers. Sob. Oh God, she's so dead.

She has no chance now. She will be killed to death.

 

[PursuedByBears]

They're all going to die

 

[smmudge]

Obviously Varys is going to be ok as he wasn't in that episode at all.

He was, briefly.

 

[smmudge]

Too brief to die.

 

[Cloo]

I quite enjoyed it, like a bit of a chance to get reacquainted with everyone after a gap, but in a good way. Glad Arya got her rocks off, good on her. Love Tormund and his totally preturbing overtures towards Brienne.

 

[Chz]

So long as Sandor lives. They owe us CleganeBowl.

 

[moochedit]

They're all going to die

Yeah everyone dead at winterfall next week except about 3 or 4 survivors escape using the last remaining dragon to dragonstone i reckon. Then the night kings now much larger army marches south.

Or falling back to Iron Isles, as offered

Yes good point.

 

[D'wards]

Can anyone recommend a decent Thrones podcast?

 

[DexterTCN]

collider video, nerd soup, gray area, alt shift x.

e2a comic book girl 19, once she gets her arse in gear.

 

[Lord Camomile]

everyone dead at winterfall

Occurred to me earlier - will we see any of the main cast become wights?

 

[ferrelhadley]

Getting a bit annoyed with these theories. Quite happy to just enjoy stuff as it happens without speculating on it.

The books are explicitly written to encourage speculation and theories. Its a key part of their appeal. I guess you are not as comfortable doing a bit of thinking as some others are.

Just happy to enjoy the story for what is. I just respect the storytelling and don't see the point of second guessing other people's creative decisions.

 

[Supine]

Great mood builder episode. Go Arya! Go Brienne! I though the scene with Sansa and Daenerys was great with that unfinished conversation.

Will the dragons fight next week? The suspense us getting to me now.

I've never found one that I really love but I've found A Cast of Kings ok and the Bald Move GOT podcast a bit American bro-y but good for speculation if that's your kind of thing

 

[bellaozzydog]

In prep for next week I just watched the battle of the bastards episode again.

This time on a proper big telly with surround sound

Absolutely fucking epic.

We may then see some of our favourite characters again this time with bluer eyes than Tormund

Not a podcast but Ozzyman's reviews are chuckle making. This eps the least funny. Season 7 finale was rofl quality

 

[ferrelhadley]

Obviously Varys is going to be ok as he wasn't in that episode at all.

Other than his teleportating to Dorne at the end of season 5, its been a long while since he was much use to anyone. Not sure what purpose he serves now, unless there is one last scheme to be uncovered.

 

[Lord Camomile]

This, to me, is symbolic of my problems with the later series'. I really enjoyed the politics, scheming, manoeuvring and personalities that was Varys' world, with a little bit of magic thrown in here and there for fun.

Now it's just "there's a relatively generic, very identifiable Big Bad Evil coming for everyone" and it's a bit more run of the mill. The likes of Varys have been pushed to the side, along with Tyrion when you think about how he's now being written.

As I say, I enjoyed last night's episode in part because of the weight of the past 7 series, but there hasn't been a whole lot to grab hold of for a while.

 

[donkyboy]

according to the red witch he will die.

on a side note, everyone seems to have forgotton that poor bloke who was executed by ned stark in season 1. no one believed him about the white walkers.

 

[donkyboy]

And how hard is it to really leave the nights watch once you have taken the black? just dump your uniform and no one will even know you swore an oath

He still broke his vow and deserted his post.

With Rangers tracking you in a wilderness, The Gift, then a huge sparsely populated land where your accent will stick out by a mile when you come across the few, very clannish communities. Its a very very long way to the Moat Cailin and out of the North.

Storm of Spoilers is pretty good too. If a little verbose, sponsers, introductions etc. Joanna Robinson who knows her shit, is in that one as well.

Yep. Pretty much go along with this.

Anyway, reckons. Will definitely not die next week.
Tyrion.
Sansa
John
Sam

Dani hesitates to intervene when John nearly gets iced and it's noticed. She disappears or is killed and turned into a wight along with her dragon.
We see an undead direwolf.
