Game of thrones season 8 [contains spoilers]

[joustmaster]

Enjoyed that one. Wonder whether Jon will off Dany now she's shown her true colours.

Arya will definitely want to help

 

[Me76]

With bank Holidays and my non working days I have had every Monday off, except for next week!! I think I'll just go in late and watch it first thing.

 

[joustmaster]

Did anyone else spend the whole episode

Spoiler

waiting to find out what amazing surprise plan Cersei had for when Dany reached the Red Keep, only to be completely let down when she turned into a whiny baby feeling sorry for herself, in a complete 180 from her character for the entire rest of the 8 seasons?

She's strong and calculating and has a belief in herself and her plans above everything else. And when it went wrong she turned in to a child.

Have you ever seen a posh spoiled person be told "no" for the first time in their life?

 

[joustmaster]

One thing I was hoping we'd see again is Arya's magical face changing powers.
Maybe next week, eh?

Ep1 i watched in the evening after work. Ep2 and ep4 were bank holidays so i watched at 2am. Ep3 and ep5 i got up at 6am and watched before work. If i can't get next monday off i'll do 6am again.

 

[ruffneck23]

Could see it fine but i had to turn the volume low to avoid annoying the neighbours at 6am so some of the dialogue was hard to follow. Will watch again when i get home from work.

I've just asked my boss if i can book next monday off.

i think it was more of the fact the sunlight through my window was making it hard to see as well as my eyes being half shut

 

[joustmaster]

I do agree that it feels rushed. But what's the alternative? Slowly winding down, killing off one person a season at a time, until its 6 episodes covering the last battle between danny and jon?

I think the slow build up and the scheming and planning over the last few years has to end with a fast paced set of battles over a handful of episodes. Else it would be weird.

 

[moochedit]

Holiday approved. 2am it is for the final

Holiday approved. 2am it is for the final

Ive got to work in Dublin next week, flying out at early o clock Monday so might not even get a chance to watch it til the following Friday...

Nah , il find a way..

 

[bellaozzydog]

That would definitely cheer up the coming long long winter nights

I thing i’ve had too many haribo. That first Glissando gave me a full body goosebumps kick

What's with that?
Faceless men assassinate via cunning infiltration.
Yet here she is wandering around literally telling people I'm Arya Stark.

1. It's just her and the hound traveling light.
2. They should have easily outpaced an army.
3. Kill Qyburn, steal his face, sneak up on Cersei.
4. War averted.

Also that whole leave it to me nonsense when she knows he don't give a damn about killing Cersei. The Mountain is the only one he's after.

Maybe it will be used next week. I hope so. It seemed like a big deal when we had that series doing her 80s training montage.

Or maybe she's turned her back on it because she wants to be Arya and not a faceless nameless sort of person... blah blah blah.

A quick 'you don't want to end up like me' and she's convinced. Was all a bit too easy for me.

If she is going to kill danny then whose face would she use? Greyworm? Who else does danny trust now?

 

[joustmaster]

a dragon's face, obviously...

 

[Steel Icarus]

Given Greyworm is alive that seems unlikely.

 

[moochedit]

So are Cersei and Jaime definitely dead?

I would say so unless they have the same ability as arya to survive falling rubble.

Maybe we will see cersei and jamies heads on spikes next episode to clear that up.

 

[moochedit]

Given Greyworm is alive that seems unlikely.

For now yes. Being GOT that could change.
Anyway like everyone else's theories i'm probably way off

 

[Santino]

It would have been (and I suppose still could be) a great twist if Cersei survived and then raised her child in Essos in the expectation that in twenty years or so he/she would return to Westeros to reclaim the throne.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Yes there was some fun spectacle, but ultimately I didn't really care about much of it. So many damp squibs, rushed arcs and poor dialogue. Ah, well...

"Not like this" - for once, I agree with Cersei.

 

[Buddy Bradley]

She's strong and calculating and has a belief in herself and her plans above everything else. And when it went wrong she turned in to a child.

But she didn't even really have a plan, beyond "I'm sure it'll be fine and we'll win". Everything else she's ever done, there's been subtlety and nuance and a long-term idea - here it was just, "let them show up and we'll fight them."

She had two bits that were like that - when she paid for the golden army and when she unveiled her scorpions.
But yeah, I can see why you'd hope for more

 

[donkyboy]

Danny must go. All those poor children.

 

[smmudge]

I must have totally got the wrong end of the stick because I was convinced that Arya was dead. I mean, she rode off on a white horse, into the bright shining light. Come on!

Game of Thrones' Lena Headey reacts to Cersei Lannister's big moment

 

[DotCommunist]

Euron pulls himself forward a bit on the blade impaling him to snarl at jamie. Classic dying villain move.

 

[cybershot]

Looks all set up for Sansa to have an epic last episode ending to me.

 

[binka]

Golden company was money well spent then

I think it'll be Tyrion to kill her

 

[DexterTCN]

The scene-cutting and choreography with Cleganebowl and Arya fighting through the panic at the same time was brilliant.

Golden company were shit. They lasted about 5 seconds bet that's pissing off the book readers as well (not read any of them but i believe they are bigger characters in the books)
