Game of thrones season 8 [contains spoilers]

[smmudge]

I think if I'd lived through all that I wouldn't be that bothered about ruling the seven kingdoms or anything really. Just a nice quiet life in the country thanks.

 

[Plumdaff]

They've still got to survive a Winter although the food situation may be a little easier now nearly everyone is dead.

 

[DexterTCN]

We have a new king-slayer.

If horses are ok to eat after they've been killed by a zombie horde then turned into zombies then killed by magic they should be alright.

 

[Shechemite]

They’ll have to fight Cersei’s lot.

It will boil down to love versus fear

Basically it’s Donnie fucking Darko

Same here. Piss off over the Narrow Sea to Dorne or somewhere and go live on the beach.

 

[Voley]

The Greatest City That Ever Was or Quark or whatever it was called. That looked nice. I could put me feet up there I reckon. No you can't bring your fucking dragons.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Naath mate. Where Missandei is from. See if she's got a sister, non-fussy mate, etc.

 

[binka]

Terrible waste of light cavalry which should've been used on the flanks. Attacking head on without support is not effective as the great ham Rod Steiger makes clear in Waterloo. Practical constraints mean nothing to me.

Also terrible strategy to allow the army of the dead to march all the way to Winterfell unhindered. They had air superiority so should have used that to their advantage:

You hit from the flanks to avoid shield walls, spears or bayonets.
Not sure there is any point with a mindless hoard and not sure you would be able to find the flanks in that dark.

 

[Voley]

Naath mate.

Naath

Sounds nice. Lots of butterflies. Bit hippiefied maybe. But you've got to be veggie and it's prone to attacks by slavers. Daenarys has sorted the slavery issue out by now I'd imagine but I'd miss steak and chips.

 

[binka]

Feels like daenerys has got the shitty end of the stick here: down to one dragon, had her cavalry and infantry sacrificed first, lost ser jorah and it turns out she's not even the rightful queen now!

 

[Saul Goodman]

She's an evil cunt. The sooner she dies the better.

Attacks are no problem. Remaining Unsullied are all retiring there after all this is done.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Actually, fuck that. Non-Naath catch a disease off a butterfly if they stay too long that makes your flesh fall off your bones.

 

[Spandex]

Daenarys has sorted the slavery issue out by now I'd imagine

You reckon?

After she fucked off to another continent with all her trusted advisers, her dragons, her unsullied army and her Dothraki horde? I'd imagine Esteros is a mess by now.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Lady Mormont. The best.

 

[joustmaster]

Flying about and that. Wasn't bothered was he? Knew what was going to happen. Thought he might as well go off for a bit of a fly about.

When his eyes rolled back and a load of birds took off, I thought - "Oh ace, he's going to do something cool". And then at the end, just before Theon died, I thought - "What a fucking prick"

Acid flashback.

 

[Lord Camomile]

As ever, have a fair few problems with it, because I'm a miserable cunt (how much fucking slow-mo?! They're even doing meaningful looks in slow-mo!) but yeah, nae bad.

Still enjoyed last week's episode more

 

[tommers]

Feels like daenerys has got the shitty end of the stick here: down to one dragon, had her cavalry and infantry sacrificed first, lost ser jorah and it turns out she's not even the rightful queen now!

Is she down to one dragon? I thought they both survived?

 

[Plumdaff]

They both seem to be in next week's preview, as does Ghost.

 

[cybershot]

Does anyone else watch the web rips where the last 10 minutes of each episode so far has been a making of. Well worth watching.

I assume next episode is more character building, one after that another battle and then more last one more character building of just who ends up where. The last but one episode of the season nearly always ends up being the best.

 

[ferrelhadley]

Lot of superfans having meltdowns over this episode. Especially Arya doing the deed and not either Danny or Aegon as some "prince that was promised" prophecy fulfilment.

Did suck a little from the TV show but hey its just a big fun romp.

Also the Dothraki charge seems to have would up a large number of people, I love this




Dems calvary hitting dem on da flanks!

And a good few stews over the "feminist agenda".

 

[Plumdaff]

Even I, who know nothing about military strategy, have played enough Civ to know that sending the Dothraki calvary out first was ridiculous. It was silly.

It's even more silly to get in a tizz because a girl killed a King.

 

[Rosemary Jest]

The dragons were fucking useless though, eh? Flew about above the clouds for a bit, breathed fire on the baddies once and then pissed off again.


Still, I hope they're ok.

 

[bellaozzydog]

The best place to put trebuchet is between the oncoming ravening horde and your pikemen.

Never behind.

Fuck those trebuchet guys. Awful people.

Tactically and strategically the living are absolute fucking bonk. Jon snow couldn’t hold down a job in a mobile military laundry unit never mind command of all living armies to save the world

Anyways watched it again, still great stuff

 

[binka]

Is she down to one dragon? I thought they both survived?

No you're right she does still have two - I thought the one Jon crash landed was dead but it's not

 

[binka]

Still, I hope they're ok.

I think cos if they were used properly they'd win any fight, that's why they have to find ways to not use them properly. Will be interesting to see the reason for Daenerys and Jon not setting fire to the Golden Company and the Greyjoy Fleet in the first ten minutes of next week

 

[Yata]

dothraki all about the open fields and they were gassed up by the witch. how are you supposed to flank 100k+ hive mind running zombies anyway?

 

[Orang Utan]

Enjoyed it very much - so heartstoppingly tense.
The shit visuals let it down massively though. It sometimes felt like watching a pirated cam vid - so so murky. Hard to tell what was going on a lot of the time, esp the dragons in flight.
