I didn't say they looked out of range, just that was the implication.

Someone on Reddit mentioned Qyburn coming out of King's Landing was reminiscent of the Mouth of Sauron. I can barely remember LotR as it was so long ago I watched it (when it was at the cinema).
Has anyone watched LotR recently? How does it compare to GoT?
Obviously one is TV and one is a massive blockbuster film, but GoT has a massive budget for TV, too.

As Tyrion and Qyburn facd off outside the gates, Agent Sparrow came out with "ooh, is it going to be Hand to Hand combat?" for which I think she deserves some sort of medal.

I also seem to remember Kings Landing being surrounded by trees and things, not a desolate plain well suited to greenscreen compositing. Remember when Tyrion and Pod met Oberyn on the road outside the walls? Or when Jaimie saw off Brienne? Lush woodland, roads, etc. Where'd all that go?

I read they built a kings landing set in belfast this season. Think they used to shoot the kl scenes in spain. Probably changed because they plan to blow it up at some point.
Edit - i checked was in croatia not spain.

If I knew a massive army was coming down to lay siege to my city I think I'd cut down all the trees in the vicinity beforehand to stop them being used as cover.

It's pretty standard thing to do if only to deny an army lumber to build siege weapons and fuel for campfires.

So many particulars. So many questions.
the Mouth of Suaron gets beheaded by Aragorn mid-evil rant so as far as I'm concerned its better than last nights parley

Wasn't Missandei essentially "the mouth of" Dani...? Role reversal, if so.

The various locations in Croatio has been great for tourism so I can see the local authorities wanted to keep it. The Popeye village still exists in Malta and that movies was released in 1980.

Good call. Don't know if the writers thought of that, but it's good enough to keep me quiet

Yeah me too. It's just turned into goodies vs baddies.
My wife has never watched it and I was watching the "before on Got" thing before the episode and thought "if I watched this without the previous 7 series I would think it was some really sub standard fantasy bullshit".
I'm sure the spectacle will be great and I'm sure the twists will shock but let's get it done.

So many particulars. So many questions.
sort of feels like we have seen the final boss fight. After the grand battle between good and evil the latter part was always going to feel like mpping up. Especially if they start giving out titles etc.
I hope the final episode does that thing where they show a montage of character photos with brief descriptions of what happens to them in the future. For cheese value

They cut down all the trees to make them crossbow gragon killer stuff.
Plus Cersi is a shit queen, so probably that too. Bad land management's.

Just realised what's even weirder about the way they wrote the drinking scene with Tyrion, Jaime, Brienne and Pod.
Tyrion 'guesses' that Brienne is a virgin, and she becomes upset.
In this medieval / feudal society, wouldn't that be a given for an unmarried highborn woman? Almost a prerequisite in fact. There shouldn't have been the modern 'embarrassing' slant on it.

I want it to be like the closing titles of a Ghibli film, where we see lots of little snippets from everyone's post-adventuring days. The hound eating a chicken at a country pub (sucks the last piece of flesh off a thigh bone, turns and signals the barkeep for another one), Jon wrestling with Ghost in the woods (who's a good boy), Arya wearing an innapropriate Face at the dinner table (she takes it off; all laugh), Grey Worm kicking back on the beach in Naarth (coconut with a drinking straw and little umbrella) etc.
I think medieval attitudes to sex were more complex than we think. Our view of the middle ages is very influenced by the Victorians, who projected their own values onto the past.
Or the end titles of Predator, with all the dead characters giving the camera a big smile.

Also Brienne was already going against the grain as far as highborn ladies are concerned, but her lack of 'suitors' was still a source of hurt for her.
