Is anyone else here into it? For me, it's the best show on tv right now. I haven't read any of the books, but I'm going to after the season ends. I'm completely hooked in.
Next week is the last episode of the season. It's been picked up for season two. I'm just hoping HBO doesn't fuck me again and cancel it before the show has finished playing out.... (Carnival, Deadwood, Rome)
Last night's episode(#9) was fucked.

Although I knew it was going to happen... I pretty much had the same reaction
-
I catch it when my wife watches it, it's a pretty alright show.
The part where they crown the one guy is effed up though.
-
Very rad show, Sean Bean kills it, and the supporting cast too, the Imp
I fucking hate the Lannisters (sp?) pieces of shit.
Im only on episode 5, Ive heard a lot of reaction to last nights episode so I want to catch up quick.
-
I am interested to see where next week's episode leaves the season. I thought they would drag out last night's ending until next week. It seemed like a season ender.
*edit: I was pissed when HBO cancelled Deadwood as well.
-
I like it a lot!!! It's really good!
I have the 9th episode to watch after checking out Slap so, thanks for not adding any spoilers!
-
I was so hyped for the season. And the first episode hit super hard.
I've been watching them all, but I find that I didn't get as into it as I wanted to.
What happens in episode 9? does that blonde chick hatch a dragon?
I'm downloading now.
-
no dragon man.... kinda random now that I think about it. They killed my nigga Ned!!
-
I flipped last night when they killed Ned. Pretty bummed theres only one more episode of the season left.

Tyrion Lannister

This guy is the highlight of every show. Deserves an Emmy for sure.
My wife ran to bathroom gagging because of this scene.

Pretty good show , and it seems a second season is coming . But I started watching it too soon , now I will have to wait weeks and weeks for each episode . Instead of watching both season in a week or so
-
i was instantly hooked after watching episode 7 at my buddys one night. got caught up in like two weeks, but i already knew he would die. they gotta get more shit popping, and blood boiling. i want to see how they incorporate the rest of the factions when its like all out war, like 2 hour episodes or some shit?
-
I read the series after watching the premiere, and Ned getting killed is just the beginning of the Starks getting fucked over again and again. This season's finale should be solid though, considering the ending of the first book.

Question for someone who has read the books:
Does the blonde chick hatch a dragon?
I've been predicting that all season.

Question for someone who has read the books:

SPOILER
yes. they are my favorite books actually. the third book is one of the best books i ever read.
she sacrifices that witch lady in a blood for blood thing and she actually hatches 3 of them.
i am happy that they are not changing from the books to make the show more appealing (such as killing ned). so many people get murked, even prominent characters.

Siiiiiiick, but I'm going to be wary of your posts in this thread if you're going to be dropping spoilers like that.
In a similar nerdy book vein of threadliness, anyone else read Wheel of Time?

Yeah, there are so many books that have been published so slowly I've been reading them my whole life, Robert Jordan actually died a couple years ago, but the new guy who got selected to finish up the series is doing a great job so far.
-
I love that this show makes me angry. Seeing prominent characters getting killed off definitely makes things a lot less boring though. I hope to see more of Jon Snow, hes definitely one of my favorite characters on the show with Ned gone. It will be a joyous day when someone takes out joffrey; good god he the worst. Also I can't wait till the White Walkers start fucking shit up.

SEAN BEAN is Ned Stark in real life!

Game of Thrones Actor Stabbed While Defending Woman
BY TIM NUDD
Thursday June 16, 2011 06:30 PM EDT
Sean Bean gets into plenty of skirmishes on Game of Thrones, but the actor shed some real blood Sunday while defending a Playboy model in a bar against a stranger who reportedly made lewd comments toward her.
Bean, 52, was attacked outside a London bar with what appeared to be broken glass after objecting to comments about April Summers, the Telegraph reports.
The actor reportedly suffered a cut to his arm and bruising to his face.
Bean returned to the bar and was treated with first aid. He then ordered another drink, according to the report.
Police were called the scene, but no arrests were made. Bean's daughter Molly told the Telegraph this week, "He's doing fine. We don't know if there will be any lasting injury."

anyone have a decent link to watch online? all the ones i find are either taken down or sketchy
-
I was so bummed/stoked when arya's dancing coach went out the way he did, stoked because that's exactly how the character had to die, bummed because hes gone. *tear.
-
the show is so sick.
good cast too.

"what do we say to the god of death ? . Not today "
Yea the direction her character heads in is pretty kick-ass. With where the fourth book left off, I am very interested to see how she turns out in Dance With Dragons (which hopefully releases in July).
And Tyrion is fucking awesome throughout the entire series thus far, so glad Peter Dinklage is doing that character justice.
-
The Starks had better kill Jaime Lannister.
Fuck those dudes.
&
Yeah, more white walkers, witches & dragons.
-
Tyrion is definitely my favorite character of the series thus far. I think I may have to read the books now though.
-
reading the second book right now. definetly a different kind of a book - nobody is safe, they can all die in instant (not much hero bullocks here)
-
I'm on page 592 of A Feast for Crows (book 4 of the series). Although I had to return it to the library awhile ago, probably gonna go grab it after work and recheck it to finish the damn thing.
And yes, as a reader of the novels, I do feel smug as fuck knowing everything.

Damn the last episode was pretty good, could've had a little bit more meat to it though(maybe some more zombie action). The dragons looked so sick and can't wait to see how that smokin' hot bitch uses them. Can't wait for the next season, anyone know if it's a definite/when it's coming out?
-
It said spring 2012 immediately after the credits.
-
Fuck the wait for this is gonna be agonizing. Just like the wait for Breaking Bad has been. I guess this is easier cause you can read the books, spoil it for yourself.
-
The dragons will be insane!
-
That was a bummer seeing Drogo become a vegetable. My wife cried her eyes out on that one.
The baby dragons at the end made up for it though... them titties were nice too.

I like these kinds of shows , nobody is safe , everybody can die .
So now begins the long wait for the next season , which is gonna suck . Buying the books wont be enough since now you know theres a show doing it .
from reading the wiki I know arya stark has a sick story line and will be cool to see that evolve . kid is sick

Do the books go in chronological order? Are they accurate compared to the show? I want to start reading the books but was wondering if I should start on the first or if the second picks up where the show ended.
-

you should start with the second one, a clash of kings. it picks up exactly where season 1/book 1 left off.

rad, thanks dude

the couple people i talked to who already read them suggested it would be worth it to read the first one, especially cause you can pick it up for so cheap now, theres a lot more detail in those 800+ pages than the 10 episodes, even though they were godly

it would be for sure worth it to read...just because it's a great book and there is alot more meat in there. they knocked out the major storylines, which sort of blew me away how much they got in there. this is not a spoiler...but just in case the first book focuses much more heavily with Bran's relationship with the wildling woman and his new found dreams he has involving the one eyed crow. basically he starts seeing many different things through the crows eye....like premointions and stuff. as the story progresses he becomes much more central to the overall plot and it's good to walk away from the first book knowing his dreams are important.
well actually ok here is a list of things i think were sort of left out of out the series that are from the first book. i dont think they are really spoilers at all, i just think it was too much to fit into 10 episodes so they had to leave some things out.
-bran's dreams with the crow are important, and he has many more of them than the series implies
-theon greyjoy is the rightful heir to the Iron Islands
-varys is a sneaky son of bitch and appears alot more in the book, and he knows everything.
-littlefinger really really likes sansa, because he was super inlove with catelyn, which we know from the show
but the book really lets you know how much he does.
-also tyrion is supposed to be an ugly motherfucker
-there is a younger stark son, Rickon. easy to not notice him in the series. he is more important later
-sansa was the person who ratted to Cersei that they were leaving, and thereby basically being somewhat responsible for her father's death
-the Hound is gnarly as fuck and important as shit, i didn't get that impression that much from the show.
-Bronn is much more a money hungry bastard, again something it would be really difficult to show
-Arya is actually pretty ill with that sword.
-the dude that joffery asks to slap sansa is more important than the show implies. he's more in the mix of things that it appears.
-probably because of budget but the dorthraki looked small in numbers. there is SHIT load of them.
-again those Direwovles are important and are always at the children's sides. the wolves that are not dead that is.
-
you have tempted me greatly with your small print, but in all regards the wiki already fucked it up for me when i tried to just learn the names of the characters, like arya's story. i cant wait to see dany fuck shit up, really gotta learn how to read (actually) when high, too often i glide over words or paragraphs and its really slowing my catching up on the series. read it not high you say? what?
-
I am reading the first book now and it is really good. It is long so there is a lot of detail, worth reading even if you watch the show.

Season 2, hyped

Wow. Looks just as good as I expected

the battle of king's landing is going to be sick.

Just got the fifth book in the mail right now.
-
halfway through 'a dance with dragons' I fucking love these books. 'a feast for crows is definitely the worst one, though.
-
Even Arya hasn't helped yet. And she's one of my favorite characters.
-
I'm so psyched for this. Maaadd sword fights, titties, and beautiful landscapes.

Fuck yeah I did! Gonna go work on finishing Dance with Dragons right now.
-
Loved it, and Jauffre's guards' ingenuity when it came to carrying out his orders.
-
Im about halfway through Clash of Kings right now, its like reading a wiki spoiler page a few days before the episode.
I thought Stannis would look different.
The best show on TV is back.
-
Finished all the books , still stoked season 2 is starting now
Arya is the sickest
-
Yep, her and Jon Snow.
-
I've read all the books too. Sansa Stark still pisses me the fuck off throughout the entire series though.
It's been months since I've finished A Dance with Dragons - don't think I've retained any of it (or most of the series for that matter).
-
kinda thought ser dontos would have been older and the onion knight a bit more grizzled. stannis seems about right, though.
-
I imagined craster as being more of an absolute beast.

Reek has to be coming soon, either that or they'll just bypass that stuff and have Ramsay take Winterfell back without the trickery. The lack of Jojen and Meera bugs me too.

They can still put jojen and meera in , prob on the way of the escape if they pass by the swamps and meet with jojen and meera .
They might not do reek ? and osha is killing it in the series so they might have her to with the boys all the time ?
Danys story in Qarth is totaly diffrent . Hope it goes back on track like the book
Books are still much better then the series but its super fun to watch the series

Read an interview online and they said they were leaving some characters out of the second season and not introducing them till the third season. Reason for this is because they dont want to introduce a new character in the last couple of episodes and end up having to pay them for the entire season even though they were only in one episode for like ten minutes.

My favorite part of this episode was when Arya was like, "If I can name anyone then I name you" and Jaqen H'ghar was like "OH FUCK, COME ON... NO"
Next week's episode looks rad
-
they changed way too much about Aryas escape . Some really important stuff happens in that
or maybe they will show more in next ep
-
Exactly.^^
-
[i havent read any of the books, but that episode was fucking amazing. between the green fire, and the scenes with the quotes 'those are brave men at our walls, lets go kill them' and 'iany man dies witha clean sword, i'll rape his fucking corpse'. hbo is the fucking best.
-
Worst episode this season . But for game of thrones that is still pretty fucking good . Anyways Didnt expect them to go all out for the battle since the budget would not be enough . Guess they still did a good job
Again they changed things but not too far off the books . Joffrey is such a cunt . in both books and series . Actor that plays him will have to play Mother Theresa in his next movie to ever get out of the joffrey type cast
-
the battle in the book seemed so much more epic. I guess LOTR spoiled me.
why hasn't there been any word on an extended edition of the first season? are they saving that for when popularity dwindles a bit?
anyway, books are still far better.

I think 1 battle in LOTR had the same budget as a whole season for Game of thrones ....
-
the battle in the book seemed so much more epic. I guess LOTR spoiled me.

i wish they had shown loris's brother in renly's armor and the hound didn't make sansa sing for him. fuck.

The worst episode of the season? My mind is blown reading that, was expecting this thread to be bustling with glowing reviews after last night. That was the best of the year, and either best of the show or tied with the season 1 premiere or ned's beheading episode.
Can't you guys just enjoy the shows as well as the books, be them the same or different? That had amazing writing and acting, had really good effects and production value too. The only thing was that the battle area felt small, the gates/beach was too tight and didn't provide the expansive area that king's landing really has, even if its just a part of it. Lord of the rings is fucking trash and a big budget does nothing to change that, don't bother comparing them. Who really cares about the fight scenes either, even though the ones last night had plenty of gruesome and vivid death scenes. Just the small details were done so right, so many indicitive moments and character building through actions instead of just words. That's when shows are the best, and they got it right last night.
-
That episode was the best of the season so far for the sheer fact that a dude's head got vaporized by a fucking rock. In fact, someone needs to make a gif of that so I can use it as my avatar.
-
Sorry for the huge picture.

i don't care about the scope or budget of the fight scenes, it just feels like there were a lot of missed opportunities in that and the last few episodes.

Meeh Abit weird the mother of dragons killed her last "girl " it was waaay diffrent in the book . I cant figure out why they killed them off for the series ?
Aryas "changes " in the series is not good . Should have kept it along with the book
Ep 10 was still really really good . Love this show
-
The episode "Blackwater" was written by George RR Martin, so I think he's pretty cool with the changes they made. There's stuff in the books that's interesting but there's no way you could fit it all in an hour long show. That said, Reek and Roose Bolton better be showing up soon.
-

Roose Bolton has already been in the show
And having Arya Kill some ppl befor she escaped like in the books would add more depth to the the person Arya is turning into
But I was kinda weirded out how Danny was turning out but she seems to be back on her ass kicking side again
-

Yeah, this bummed me out.
And Cuddle, are you thinking of Ramsay Snow/Bolton. Roose was the dad.
-

Oh shit, you're right! "Robb details a plan to offer mercy to Theon's men so that they will abandon him allowing them to retake the castle with minimal bloodshed. Roose is confident that it will work." Yes, yes. Minimal bloodshed.
Did anyone else notice that when they're raiding Xaro's house you can see a couple Dothraki making off with that peacock statue they were arguing over when they first got to Qarth?
-

Xaro didn't betray her in the book. He did betray her in the TV show by assisting with kidnapping her dragons. That's why he had to die. Plus his appearance later in the books is pretty insignificant. It was a nice way to wrap up his story line for an abbreviated tv show. I do agree that it was weird to kill off her handmaid by changing her story.
The white walkers were pretty awesome. That zombie horse was perfectly how I pictured it in the book.
That was the first time in the series that the Tyrion/Shae story felt like the book. In the book it really did seem like she is in love with him. Throughout the TV show it's felt more like a business relationship. Fuck Pycel!
They needed to make this season about 4 more episodes longer to really cover the book well, but... I guess HBO needs to pump all it's money into that abomination True Blood.
-
From what I've heard, seasons 3 and 4 will both cover Storm of Swords.
-

It's true. I've also read that the last two books will be written in time to merge with the series' release schedule - next books will probably all need more than a single season, but I'm worried about aging of actors, children especially. The events in books don't cover a big time-span at all, yet the last book's release is at least 5+ years off from now (Arya will be a woman grown by the end).

Yeah no problem with Xaro getting killed off . Was more problem with the handmaiden . In the last book she still had 2 out of 3 left I belive ? and now she has 0 ? in the tv show ? . If I do remember correctly the westeros handmaiden that got thrown in the vault should have died back when they were in the dessert ? and the other 2 live on . So I guess its kinda along the story .
But I digged that chick that got killed in the vault now , and she was the last one left so got abit bummed about it

Rob Stark sent the Bolton's to Winterfell to recapture it. He told Bolton to let any iron born men free if they give up Theon. They did. The iron born did not burn Winterfell. Any more info would be a spoiler.

Finally finsihed all the books available at the moment and now can start looking at web shit about GOT, way to many spoilers out there. Got to say though the series on TV is not worth watching if youve reda the books, except for Danys tits. Although she is supposed to be 15 in the story. Needs more bean flicking in the next books
-
Yeah, that's one of the downsides of reading the novels. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get into the television series.
I've yet only seen maybe like 2 episodes of the first season.
-
The TV series is great on it's own, but if you've ever read any novel then seen the film adaptation, the novel is always better. Imagination trumps manmade visuals/constraints every time. But the series is it's own beast and will follow it's own unique, corner-cutting path eventually. This isn't a Song of Ice and Fire thread, it's for the show, which is doing a phenomenal job in my opinion. The human stories are the backbone of this series, and the mythology is a strong supporting aspect, and the actors/casting have been nailing it.

That blonde chick with the dragons is so boring. Kill her off or make the dragons rape her. I liked when she got pounded doggie style by some stupid viking. Then all of a sudden she becomes an annoying bitch who happens to have 3 dragons because she took a dump on some eggs in a fucking fire. I wish they would just eat her like the baby spiders in Charlottes Web....... Still psyched for season 3.

Wouldn't have agreed with this before the 5th book, but some of her sections are a bit annoying. The way she's handling the astapori/bloody flux shit was my big one. I'm about 2/3rds of the way done, and I'm sure some crazy shit is going to go down that will get me stoked on her again

Then she lost her baby and her husband , lost most of her people , almost everybody close to her has died , and now shes ruling a big army and a whole new people with about a zillion people , at the brink of war , and everybody is trying to kill her
And shes about 15 - 18 years old ?

That would've required a lot of set up they didn't have time for, so I'll take it. I'm surprised, but not really at this season taking liberties with leaving characters out of episodes (no Arya last episode, no Dany this episode, and still no Varys). I hope they have longer scenes with characters soon, they're strumming this along and I have a feeling those who haven't read the books won't be as into it. I liked this episode's theme though, all of the lost Stark children were presented with characters that are trying to help--Sansa and the Tyrells, Bran and the Reeds, Arya and the Brotherhood. Pretty cool.
From the premiere: I don't get why there are a bunch of dead Northerners at Harrenhal, when it was garrisoned by Lannister men. How did they get all of the Northerners in there and murder them all?

There are definitely inconsistencies that have bugged me so far. I was honestly pissed off when they just introduced Barristan Selmy as himself. To me that was a huge part of the book, with him and Jorah playing off of each other and Jorah not quite being able to pinpoint who he is. And yeah, the Arya thing bugged me too. Everyone who just watches the show needed to know just how much of a little bad ass she is. I'm sure it'll be fine, but sometimes you just want to nitpick.

He isn't Varo Hoat though--he's in a group of Bolton men-at-arms, not a lisp-wielding Bloody Mummer, so a name change is necessary. He's close to how I pictured Vargo though.

whoa, there ... I weren't implying anything else, other than this episode is not the end of his torture. A big surprise there. Dickless Theon would have such a nice prognosis otherwise.
As for spoilers - I a lot of ways the series does things differently than the book, so I can't be sure of Theon's faith, other than it's probably not going to be a good one.
And for the love of god, I don't want to discuss the difference any further. There a few, but who cares.

Why do others who've read the books have to sneak one over on someone who hasn't for absolutely no reason? You didn't answer his question at all and made it appear as though Theon will die, asshat.
Theon's been tortured this entire season, with the exception of being released, hunted, and returned for an episode or two.
I haven't read the books but it seems like a waste of time to have 3 episodes dedicate a decent chunk of time showing the dude get tortured repeatedly and not have it lead anywhere.

I wonder if they'll have two weddings in the season finale...
It would be a great way to end the season and go out with a cliffhanger / bang

timeline seems to fit... two more episodes for travelling and the last for the weddings. the episode title "Mysha", however, isn't promising

this. both weddings.
Episode 9 has been a landmark for each season--Ned's fate, Battle of the Blackwater, and whatever's upcoming, but it won't be two weddings based on this brief summary: http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Second_Sons_(episode) (http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Second_Sons_(episode)). There are no spoilers in the link.
I hope we get a lot of Davos and Sam time soon, and more explanation of the Reeds. I like them, but their inclusion was so sudden and remains mysterious. And them telling Bran the story of Summerhall would make such a great scene.
-
In all reality, there will be three weddings. It looks like, from that synopsis, the next episode will be Tyrion's. I'm going to let it rest until Sunday, or I guess Monday.
-
so this threads ruined for ppl who havent read the book now
-
How so? The show has told you that there will be a wedding for Tyrion, Edmure and shithead little fucktard Joffrey. No one has specifically told you what will happen, other than there is some crazy shit coming up.

Well after this season I'm definitely reading the books. I had held off as I was reading another long series, The Dark Tower, but this shit has just been too crazy, and I have a feeling main characters are going to just start dropping.
I was expecting Robb to die earlier to be honest
This may sound crazy, and may change as the books and stories progress but Tywin Lannister is up there as one of my favourite characters.
Maybe its just cause the actor Charles Dance is awesome though

true. that was Knarly (k for knife)
what I was expecting thou, was Catlyn Stark at the very end before having her throat slit, going batshit crazy and shredding her face and tearing out her eyeballs with her fingernails
but I suppose that would have been a bit much for some viewers

i expected her to fuck up the old bastard. (cant remember the name right now)

This is what sets the series of books apart from other series - it's ruthless, no character is safe to live as the one hero ... they all get fucked at least once. That said, you can be sure you won't be able to predict any of the series finales, it's always going to be pure mindfuck.

I just finished the first book. It was amazing, but certain things I feel the show did better. Like Ned Starks death was better in the Show IMO. Caught way more feels watching it. That also could be because I hadn't known he was going to die as I did when reading.
Question though: After Season 3 finishes, does that correspond with the end of the third book? Basically, how far is the show when compared to the books?
-
Seasons 3 and 4 are supposed to be the 3rd book. It's just too expansive for one season to cover. Though I imagine some of the 4th book will sneak into season 4 too.

I wish all abortions were like that.

I think that Orange County Choppers looking motherfucker was my favorite. To be honest though, I think I had a similar reaction as I read that scene. Probably a bit more protracted though, as I can't read as fast as they can show that on film. Definitely that same range of emotions though.

Nah I did, I've just been caught up over at the other forum trying to figure out a bunch of other stuff that happens later. Since this thread is already ruined for the non-book readers, I'll list them off without being too spoilery:
- Robb didn't sign an heir apparent or legitimization document for Jon Snow. I'm bummed because that more than likely means that even though Maege Mormont and Galbart Glover hold those documents in unknown condition while trying to rally the crannogmen, it will end up being for nought. But if the most popular theory to Jon's parentage is true, then that won't matter anyway..
- Ygritte shooting Jon must've been a tough scene to throw in; I commend the writers for that. There's been speculation that she'll fill in the role of the wilding princess--I'm on the fence as to how I feel about that.
- Bran & co. are already where they end up at the end of the book that Seasons 3 & 4 are based off of. What will they do with them? Have them trek through north beyond the Wall for the next 3 seasons? I hope they don't cut him out next season. Due to those crows from when Sam killed the White Walker, I imagine they'll run into somebody next season that they were supposed to have met by now.
- Jaime, Brienne, & Qyburn have arrived a bit earlier than they were supposed to at King's Landing. I'm not worried about Jaime fitting into scenes, or Qyburn really, but Brienne will be.. interesting. Hopefully we see how she fits into society in the company of Lannisters, and doesn't spend the season in a dungeon for being loyal to the Starks. I really enjoyed watching Theon's destruction, but two people spending the bulk of the season in a dungeon is too much.
- Which leads me to wonder if Theon's scenery will change somewhat next season. Book readers know that it doesn't aside from the escape/hunt attempt with Kyra, but I don't think they'll do that again, especially with his Johnson gone. I am thrilled they threw in the Reek storyline. I really wasn't expecting that to make it in, it'll be wonderful to see Theon's further descent into madness.
- I'm excited to see some more scenes with Asha/Yara.
- I miss the Umbers, namely the Greatjon. I wish scheduling worked out with him.
- What a corny ass ending.
- Davos for King of the Andals, the Blackfish as his Hand. Those dudes rule.
-
I'm bummed on no Cold Hands.
-
he's gotta be next season. I really hope they don't replace the wildling princess with ygritte. glad reek is in there now, but the book intro of ramsey snow was better.

Cold Hands is def an age old entity, no way is he Benjen Stark. I just finished the books.

I hope he's got a heir to finish it out like Brandon Sanderson did for the Wheel of Time series.

to be entirely fair to Martin, it only took him a stupid long time to write A Feast for Crows and A Dance With Dragons. Book 1 came out in 96, book 2 in 99, and book 3 in 2000. Book 4 was 2005 and book 5 in 2011 because he had to split ADWD into 2 books, and restarted both of them several times in order to keep the timeline intact, since AFFC and ADWD were split geographically (for the most part). Originally ADWD was going to follow ASOS and take place 5 years afterwards, but the prologue explaining everything eventually evolved into its own book. Now that he's done with the fuckery of writing two books that coincide with one another, I feel like The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring will be written relatively fast. My money's on TWOW coming out sometime next year, and ADOS coming out (and hopefully concluding the story satisfactorily) in 2016-2017...I hope. Plus there's going to be a A Song of Ice and Fire encyclopedia coming out around summer/fall of next year, which should be neat to read.

I appreciate your optimism and I hope it's true, but you're not taking into account the insurmountable jump in popularity of George and his series, and the length of the remaining books. He's stated that he believes both books will be roughly 1,500 pages--nearly 400 pages longer than the biggest book currently out. Add to that his recent deal with HBO to create a new series, his writing of the Dunk and Egg novellas (of which he's stated there will be 9-12 total, at approx 150 pages each), the Land of Ice and Fire (or whatever it's called) 250 page coffee table book that details Robert's Rebellion + other events prior to the main series, and his traveling all over the country/world for various media/nerd events (Comic-Con, HBO events, Conan, readings, etc.). I really don't know have high hopes he'll get this done in time, even though he knows that the series is "catching up like a freight train."
Granted, he hasn't stated when he plans to finish Dunk & Egg, but given the clues in those stories that help to solve ongoing theories in the main series, he'll want to breadcrumb at least few more before wrapping up with A Dream of Spring. I honestly believe George will die before he finishes the series. The amount of heartbreak and unanswered questions fans have suffered, it seems fitting and within his character.

god, I hope you're wrong, haha. Well, I know that the coffee table book is almost done, he said that he's already finished with the writing for that and now they're just adding more illustrations/fleshing it out, and that's confirmed to come out (I think) fall of next year. My entirely too optimistic hope is that they're delaying it so that it can drop around the same time as TWOW. The length shouldn't prove to be too much of a problem I'd think, since ASOS was 400 pages short of that and only took a year to write. Who knows though, I might just be entirely too hopeful hahaha.
I haven't read any of the Dunk and Egg novellas, are they worthwhile? I love the whole ASOIAF world, and anything else to read about it would be amazing. I'm hoping in the coffee table book he talks more about the Doom of Valyria, stuff like that.

Well with Arya and Melisandre they never met in the books - so when she says I will see you again or some shit you know either Arya is going North or Melisandre is heading to Braavos. Plus Melisandre sees in her eyes she will be a killer.
I only picked up on the Jon stuff from reading the forums, but a bunch of people think his mother is Lyanna Stark (Neds sister) and his Dad is Rhaegar Targaryen. There are loads of theories about it and a bunch of allusions in the book like Dany having visions of a blue rose on the wall when she was in the house of the undying and Rhaegarn having given Lyanna a bouquet blue winter roses at a tourney... this sounds outlandish as hell written on Slap - hope G R R Martin doesn't die on us

I have read the books thoroughly. Also, I agree, Tyrion gets heavy. Also, Arya, No spoilers though for the people who haven't.
I think they casted Oberyn pretty well from what I have seen though. Just hope he can act well. Martells are one of my favorite houses.

It's been a couple of years since I've read the books so I figured it's been long enough for me to start watching the show. Spent the past week or so binging on all three seasons. Shit is awesome. I'm glad I waited though because a lot of the nuances and the finer points were forgotten/dulled over the years and it was really nice rediscovering shit.
Someone refresh me on the Ramsay Snow (Bolton)/Reek angle. I recall it being a bit convoluted in the novels.
Reek was Ramsay's plaything, then Reek kills Ramsay and takes his place. Theon becomes the new Reek. Do I have it right?

In the books, the original Reek was also Ramsay's plaything. They were out "hunting", when Reek was molesting a dead girl's corpse and Ramsay noticed a contingent of men out for his head (due to his kidnapping and marrying Lady Hornwood for her lands) and he forced Reek to switch clothes. That Reek was killed by the men and Ramsay stayed under that guise during Theon's tenure as Prince of Winterfell. Then all the sacking and torture takes place and Theon becomes our new Reek.
-
Finally the best character in the books got a little bit of time to shine on the show.

I feel like they jumped the gun in this first episode. In relation to the book they moved way too fast into Jon, Jamie, and Aryas storyline. Also what are they going to do with the Tyrells? A little bummed Loras is not in the Kingsquard.

I don't feel compelled at all to reread the books
I marathon'd the first 3 seasons of the show after not having read the books for a few years and now I'm stuck between two worlds man...
Also have the first episode of season 4 on file, not sure what to do with it yet. Continue to collect them week by week and binge in a few months, or follow it every week like everyone else?

Aryas story line is off to a good start
Im still not sure why they keep changing so many parts of it
The bar / tavern fight didnt go down at all like in the book .
SPOILERS ( kind of )
Why was the 3 kills she got from jaqen so diffrent from the books ?
Why wasnt weasel soup in it ?
Why didnt she kill the guard when exiting the camp ? and why was that kill technicly later using the same trick with the
coin on some random fray soldiers ?
Why was the bar fight so diffrent ? in the show she went from no action to calm and enjoying the kills . In the book she was fighting pretty much from the start , not panicking but not super in controle and then the kill on the torturer was abit hysterical screaming and stabbing over and over , and the last kill on the boy calm . They kind of made it look like she was enjoying it way too much the last kill in the tv show , which is cool , but still
Im still enjoying her in the show and her story line , but Im not sure why its so diffrent

I sort of did at first (and still do to a degree) but then I thought about how the books are written vs. how the show is viewed. In A Storm of Swords, Theon and his torture is barely alluded to and only comes into fruition in A Feast of Crows. If they did that with Season 3/4 you'd have a bunch of viewers wondering where the fuck Theon is. Also, Book 3 and 4 actually run parallel in parts, I think. I'm in Book 4 right now and it certainly seems that way at least (especially with all the shit going down at the Dreadfort.) But yes, it seems to go pretty fast. Still, even so, season 4 is going to be packed. Lots of shit goes down in Meereen when Dany gets there and with the aftermath of Joff's death.
I thought it was books 4 and 5 that were parallel? Also they still have a lot more stuff to cover with Jon at the wall as we'll. I don't think they should include anything with the Iron Islands until season 5. I think if they rush to far ahead things will get left out. If they don't include cold hands I'm going to be pretty pissed.
-
Yeah, 4 and 5 with all of the regions being drawn back together towards the end of Dance. It seemed to me like they made an allusion to Cold Hands when Bran touched the tree. They can't leave him out though. I get the feeling that he is going to play a pretty key role in the last two books.
-
Dany can have the throne. Bran is going to save that whole world from the white walkers though. And I have the utmost confidence that not only will Arya kill everyone, but she will eventually do it with Nymeria.
-
All of the times.
-
Aryas going to kill someone big and I think it's going to be the wrong person. Dany has someone big sitting in the way of her throne, and if Cold hands is who I think he is he will play a huge role. I do hope that was his voice Bran heard. Also did anyone catch in season 2 when Tywin claims he couldn't prove Tyrion truly wasn't his? Also think about Tyrions eyes and hair color in the books.
-
I missed Tommy Carcetti at the wedding... where is he at?
-
wasnt cold hands in it already ? wasnt the last we saw of bran , him getting startled buy a man in robes riding a moose ?
Spoilers
I think I said it befor but I really hope arya finishes her training and just lives her life as a assassin . Only bad things can happen if she goes after revenge . She has a good thing going over there
-
Coldhands hasn't been on the series yet.
I honestly don't care about Dany taking the throne. Where I'm at in the story, it almost doesn't seem to be a priority of her's either.

Wait wouldn't Tyrion pick Jaime to fight for him? Jaime was his first choice in season 1 the first time he had a trial by combat, although that was before Jaime lost his good hand.
I'm thinking The Mountain would fight whomever Tyrion chooses to be his champion, and I was hoping he'd choose Prince Oberyn to be the guy to fight for him, that way the dude gets his chance for revenge and everybody wins.
Crazy shit was when the Greyjoy sister goes up to save her brother and he doesn't even want to be rescued, he's so fucking far gone from being tortured, now he's gonna go on a mission to pose as his former self?
Shit is so weird but so awesome.
Last 4 episodes should be all bangers.

I think he can't. He is accused of a crime against the throne and Jamie being the head dude in the kingsguard would be a conflict of interest.

On top of that, Jamie is short a hand, and there's no way Tywin or Cersei would ever allow him to be in harms way like that. Since Jamie can't do it, The Hound is gone and that other old dude defected to Danyrs' camp, whose better than The Mountain? If that's the case I can't see him fighting anyone but Oberyn in order to wrap up that revenge arc.
-
Even if it were allowed for a Kingsguard to defect and fight on behalf of the accused, Tywin would never allow it in this instance. Jaime is missing a hand, significantly less skilled as a swordsman than he was before, and would mean Tywin would be losing probably both of his heirs at the same time (Jaime loses, he and Tyrion both die). End of Lannister bloodline.
I thought it was interesting that Tywin subtly acknowledged Jaime's and Cersei's incest-born children in this episode.
Nice that Oberyn was asking the hard hitting questions on the trial.

SEMI SPOILER ALERT (and my spoiler isn't that much, but still, some people don't like to know anything. You can find out more from Google.):
Time will tell. It's a very grey area in the books.
I totally get where you're coming from, it was more of a speculative question to discuss to discuss rather than like "Hey someone tell me now..." kind of deal. I guess I always underestimate how many people have actually read the books.

I actually found that scene upsetting. I don't think I'm a prude but I was disturbed that something so fucking brutal was on such a popular show. Like, it's one thing if something like that is in Scanners but to have that sort of thing normalized by being in a mainstream show was weird and made me think of that Elliot Rodger asshole and all the DBags watching along elsewhere.
Then there was just the angle in the story where you get your hopes up and then you watch powerlessly as the guy you identify with is unable to stop a brutal end. This might take my personal 'worst cinematic death' award from the Jewish soldier getting stabbed in Saving Private Ryan.

I know what you mean, I feel like the majority of hype-violent scenes like that are usually done in a cheesy way or are in movies that you expect like Saving Private Ryan or the Halloween remake by Rob Zombie. The sound of the teeth hitting the tile followed by the screams were just bone chilling. Anyone watch it with their gf or wife? Would love to know how they reacted.

I actually found that scene upsetting. I don't think I'm a prude but I was disturbed that something so fucking brutal was on such a popular show. Like, it's one thing if something like that is in Scanners but to have that sort of thing normalized by being in a mainstream show was weird and made me think of that Elliot Rodger asshole and all the DBags watching along elsewhere.

My GF screamed and cried(she was hysterical during the red wedding) but I was really into that fight scene. They really did that right, but everything else was absolute fucking dogshit. This season has been nothing but dogshit. The whole ygritte and gilly seen was lame, Jorahs being found out that way was lame, grey work filler is unnecessary, the arya scene was absolutely idiotic, and they're seriously underplaying Jon's character. I understand it's a tv show and they can't completely do it like the book, but the previous 3 seasons stayed pretty true.

The next episode will probably help how you feel about the Jon Snow stuff. I just think Kit Harrington has 0 heroic qualities and I can't get behind him.

Seriously, every episode up until the last one and where Joffrey died I felt like pretty much nothing happened. Also, where the fuck is Gendry? Is that fool just floating in a boat somewhere?

That scene was 99% from the book. If you want a show to be faithful to it's source material, you wouldn't have any qualms about how that was displayed.
Just because someone of note doesn't die, doesn't mean that "nothing was happening" in the show. A whole damn lot has been happening every episode. Those two episodes were actually my least favorite of the season, which has been a phenomenally depicted season.

I guess I should've added one of the least attractive characters in my opinion. The last shot of her in full goth regalia wasn't too bad but every time she's been on camera, I feel like the showmakers go out of their way to have her looking as young and innocent as possible. But hey maybe that's your thing and I'm totally not here to judge. The actress who plays her did just turn 18 though so you may get your wish. Sansa is still like 15 or some shit though.

Back in the old timey timey times people used to get married around 10-15 or so . I guess sex would follow close to that .
People used to die around age 40-60 though so kind of makes sense

All the big battles felt really big and epic in the books , in the show , not so much . I know they are on a budget and its no big deal .
I wonder if this was one of the breaking points when they were discussing making the show a reality ?

I don't know. I was pretty pleased with the battle. Jon Snow just deciding to head off right after a night of fighting with no sword and no Ghost to find Mance seemed a bit strange though.

Best part was Olly with the "YOU'RE WELCOME" look after killing Ygritte

jesus, that was pretty boring.
I disagree, was entertained thoroughly. Not a book reader however.

Book reader, and I was very pleased. That fucking giant's arrow gave that brother a Mortal Kombat death.

Episode was great, but seriously Jon Snow? You're just going to walk off into the wilderness without your sword or wolf? That's about as frustrating as when Sam drops the dagger made from the only shit that can kill white walkers. The conversation about fucking a bear was pretty funny too.

New Sam is a bad motherfucker. He crossbowed that Thenn point-blank without a care in the world.

it wasn't bad by any means, and there were a few great moments. they should have kept sam a pussy, though.

Last episode of the season is coming up on Sunday then another 9 month wait for the next to start. I feel kind of cheated by this season. Whatever, I pirated it anyway. I hope Jon Snow's dead girlfriend gets into porn for some reason. I'm very attracted to her.

Why feel cheated ? alot of stuff went down aswell as building up charterers and evolving plot lines , some big battles , some big shocks and so on
And shes a quite famous actor now , GoT kind of sealed the deal for a bright future on tv atleast . Dont think shes gonna be doing bangbus anytime soon

Great episode, felt like more of a build up to a finale than the actual finale itself though, but maybe that's just because I don't want it to be over.
The shot of the skeleton arm just repeatedly stabbing the warg kid definitely gave me the willies.

That Brienne and Hound fight was such a fucking brawl. What I don't understand is why the hound and Arya didn't just go into her aunt's place. Yeah, she died, but that doesn't mean the Hound couldn't get anything for Arya damn Stark. Of course they didn't know it, but Arya and her sister could have been reunited.

My girlfriend and I binge watched up to episode 4 of season 4 in a few weeks and it was really sick. Since waiting week by week I have noticed I want more and more from an episode because I have been so spoiled for content.
No idea why dudes on here are saying this season sucked I thought it was sick. Maybe you just want so much more from every episode so when its a character development or something boring with wildlings you just lash out and hate it.
Demon monkey FTW.

That Brienne and Hound fight was such a fucking brawl. What I don't understand is why the hound and Arya didn't just go into her aunt's place. Yeah, she died, but that doesn't mean the Hound couldn't get anything for Arya damn Stark. Of course they didn't know it, but Arya and her sister could have been reunited.
Because no Stark can ever be reunited in this story. Seems to be the only constant of GoT. I thought the finale was great, no book reader though...
Yeah, the wait always sucks... but hey... Boardwalk Empire will return soon enough.
edit. Kick in the cunt might have been the best moment of Season 4.

It's just that with so many story arcs going on there are a lot of setup scenes for payoffs way down the line. The individual scenes might not be that amazing and the payoff can be many episodes (or seasons later). How many minutes was Stannis in this season? By the time he shows up again 8 weeks later, I'm just sitting there going "huh"? Then what's Dany up to? Sweet fuck all. Etcetera.
I don't have this problem with say, Mad Men or Breaking Bad and I feel like those were written to be great shows whereas Game of Thrones seems like a great 80hr epic movie.

If you had read the books it would have been just as disappointing. Tywin was supposed to shit himself and Tyrion was supposed to say something like "Its not true, Tywin doesn't shit gold". The wall battle was fairly cut short and missed out some rad parts. Plus Daenerys was gonna get her minge out get some freaky dildo out and give herself a good seeing too. (Last bit is just in my head)

That's actually how the books are. I wouldn't classify them so much as action/adventure but more medieval political thriller. The war and all the fighting revolves around the political issues of the area.

That episode was a hard watch.
Forget the lady who looked like a praying mantis and all her malfunctions, forget the burning and look past the pedophilia, the real thing I can't wrap my head around was the fighting pit scene.

Why were the Harpies not throwing the spears at Danerys?
Did they all just decide to fuck off even though they had the other 4 main characters surrounded?
Where are the other 7,986 Unsullied?

I'm with both of you so much. How could there possibly be so many Harpies? How many people does Meereen have? A very large portion of them have to be former slaves. The dragon save was all types of cheese.
Then there's the cult in King's Landing. How much of a bitch is Tommen to have let his goddamn queen be taken away while his King's Guard was surrounding them? He even stopped them while they were drawing their swords. How much of bitch does he have to be let them imprison not just his wife but also his mother while he has in his command a whole army of trained killers? Fucking bullshit.
Even Arya's story is boring as fuck right now. I was looking forward to what would happen to her the most.
I have no idea what to expect with Sansa. Ramsay is still a great watch.
As for Stannis, it was clear he sold his soul to the Lord of Light near when he was first introduced. If you guys let his little heartfelt talks with his daughters fool you, that was your fault. It's clear the only thing that matters to him is successfully claiming the throne. What I wonder is what Davos is going to do when he finds out. He's already been defiant by saving a boy he didn't even know from the fire. What's he going to do when he finds his "king" killed the closest thing he had left to a child?

second, the cult in king's landing drives me fucking crazy, I can't even enjoy Cersei get her come uppins. Hurry back Jamie.
I feel like Davos join Danerys.
-
I don't know if Davos is going to survive for much longer. The show has a habit of killing people of high character. Who else is as good a person as Davos and still alive? I think just Jon Snow. There are other characters that are still around that haven't done "bad things", but it seems those who are good and have also proven themselves very capable get killed off like sacrificial lambs. Can't have too many admirable people in Westeros. I guess I could include Dany, (and maybe Samwell, but getting a lucky kill on a white walker and getting beat the fuck down by other watchmen ain't exactly being capable. How does that fool stay fat anyway? This dude eating quadruple rations?) but that bitch is boring.

Cause he's not full grown maybe? I'm not sure the dragons in Westeros are the mythical dragons that we think of. They're just giant fire breathing lizards, not magical, invulnerable beasts.

The SoH are literally the lower-born ranks of the wealthy families, the 'middle class' workers that are taking the pay from the wealthy families, and the slaves that are taking pay/intimidation from the wealthy families. The Unsullied are suffering losses from the multiple SoH attacks throughout the occupation in the city. Also, Dany doesn't have the entire Unsullied force at the Pits with her. Sure she probably brought a small force of Unsullied and Second Sons for protection, but I'd assume the majority are patrolling the city.
Even Arya's story is boring as fuck right now. I was looking forward to what would happen to her the most.
She's learning. It's slow. She's in the same process that Jon was in when he arrived at Castle Black. She shows up and immediately wants action. She's gotta pay her dues and learn the lay of the land. Trant showed up so now it should get interesting.

It must be the not full grown part because one dragon did all that damage at the castle The Mountain was in charge of a while ago and I think it's safe to say that place was probably full of more capable soldiers than the SOH.

That was Balerion that burned Harrenhal, and he was like the baddest motherfucker of a dragon that there ever was. The most legendary (so far). I think that's his skull in the Red Keep that Arya checked out in Season 1.
Drogon is like 1/2 to 3/4 his full size right now.
-
Yeah that's Balerion's skull in the basement. So he was the biggest of the three great dragons way back. Drogon is the biggest of the current three. Betting he'll get just as big, if not bigger, and eventually he'll just eat an entire town or something.

There's a lot to wrap up in the upcoming finale. A bit worried I'll be let down because of it. Just recapping for my own sake:
Stannis's march on Winterfell. His last siege took up a whole episode, but I don't think that'll happen. Unless he can turn into a dragon or something now that he sacrificed his daughter and destroys the place in minutes.
What Sir Davos will do upon learning about Shireen. I'm also leaning toward his death. Jon will likely play a place in this too, though his bit with the wildlings seems wrapped up already.
Sansa's/Ramsey's/Theon's fate at Winterfell. And Lady Brienne's and Podrick's subsequent fate. I've kind of been rooting for Podrick to bang Brienne but now I want him to bang Sansa and make the world okay. It'll never happen because nothing is okay on this show. And by the same token, I think we're being led to root for Theon to redeem himself, and he probably won't.
The fiasco in King's landing. I think the Sparrows are a pretty sweet group of bad guys. Good formidable enemy for this season. And a good opportunity for Cersei to either prove herself as the new Tywin or bite the dust. I feel like Maester Qyburn and his experiment with The Mountain will show up here.
Little Finger's role in both cities. His position is building up a bunch this season.
The Jaime/Bronn quest. I love Bronn but this story felt tacked on. I'm hyped on the Sand Snakes' boobs we saw but they disappointed me as characters compared to Oberyn, who was awesome. Every one of the Lannisters are in some sort of danger right now, which is kind of tense I suppose.
Daenerys and Meereen. I feel like she'll leave with a bang and head toward Westeros. I'm bummed Varys has disappeared from this story.
I almost forgot about Arya. Who knows. Feels pretty detached from everybody else. Not going toward a unifying event. I think that was my main beef with this season. Everybody is all over the place in their own story without a common connection.
-
can't wait to see the cersei's you know what in the finale. but I read they used a body double for that scene, so that's a let-down.

My predictions:
1. Pretty sure Stannis will unleash a shadow to kill Roose and possibly Ramsay. Sansa might get caught in the crossfire seeing as I could imagine Ramsay throwing her at the shadow in an attempt to save himself.
2. Davos will leave Stannis and go join Daenerys. She's could always use more advisors and I feel Davos and Tyrion are both vitally important but each are different in their own way. Stannis might break down to Davos as well, I think we could all see how much he had turned himself off when he had to make that choice. He looked like he had been up all night and was tortured by having to sacrifice his daughter.
3. I hope Theon redeems himself, when he had to watch Ramsay rape Sansa you could tell he was angry deep inside. He's gonna need something to push him over the edge though which I'm sure Ramsay will provide in some terrible way.
4. We will finally see Ser Robert Strong, the frankenstein of the Mountain, did they send The Mountain's head to Dorne to appease the Martells? I know they did that in the book but I don't remember it happening in the show.
5. Not sure what Little Finger is up to. He seems to be maneuvering for his own gain. He might arrange for Ramsay to meet an unfortunate end when he returns as he will probably see how Sansa is being treated even if she doesn't tell him, Theon could tell him.
6. Jamie and Bronn will be heading back to kings landing with Myrcella and Tristane
7. Daenerys will find the khal of one of Drogos lieutenants and take it for herself and bring it back to Mereen to squash the SoH.
8. Arya will continue her training but also be exacting her revenge so I think Jaqen might kill her or banish her since she's not truly nobody.
-
That whole Dorne plotline seems really pointless so far. Also the first time that the show felt really really cheesy, especially that fighting scene with the Sand Snakes. Seemed straight out of some Xena Warrior Princess episode.

Jon will likely play a place in this too, though his bit with the wildlings seems wrapped up already.

apart from the shit at winterfell/stannis, it was surprisingly accurate to the books.
-
This is the second season finale in a row where afterwards I swore I wasn't going to watch this shit anymore.
Watching Jon die sucked but hey, making your audience emote is what writing a good story is all about and after seeing characters' general lifespans it was evidently going to happen sooner rather than later.
To quote L33tG33k, the whole business with the resurrected Mountain was all kinds of cheese. HBO has enough of a budget to create a CGI dragon for fuck's sake but all they do is throw some gold armor and purple eye shadow on and boom Mountain 2.0? Not feeling it.
-
Stannis Baratheon and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
Mountainstein looked pretty sketchy. Not sure what you guys expected for that. Cersei's face digitally pasted on a body-double was the real crime.
-
somethings terribly wrong if you actually looked at her face.
-
Thoughts:
-the Cersei body double bullshit, that whole scene was corndog
-the Danerys capture smacked vaguely of racism with the Cherokee whoops and such
-the ex pit fighter that Danerys bangs, terrible attempts at comic relief throughout the season
-mountainstein.... why even bother introducing him there like that
-the Aria shit was cool, one of the few redeeming things in the show
-glad Sansa escaped(is she old enough to be hot yet?)
Overall was pretty unimpressed with the season finale and it's predictability, didn't get me hyped for next season
Edit:
Also how did no food or filth get on the nun with the bell who was like a step away from her?(not my own observation)
This just makes the scene worse... David Benioff(big cheese of the show) sucked his own dick by saying, "It’s incredibly compelling yet you almost want to turn away because you’re looking at someone who’s suffering.” Nah... more like wondering what the fuck is her face morphing for? is she about go hulk on the crowd?

My hopeful side tells me they escaped. Throughout the show they allude to all of the secret entrances and exits hidden in Winterfell, and I'm wondering if there's a secret landing pad or something, or a tube to go along with Monty's daffy Star Wars theme.
I wish the Starks could just be happy for like 20 minutes.

We feel like there's nothing going on in the show but waiting for the next act of brutality. It's the pain Olympics with the most dragged out plot. We will watch, because we have to, but other than "Hardhome" this season was awful.

Love silicone valley. That show really does a great job making fun of start up culture. I felt like this season was a little soft for the first few episodes when they were writing around the cast member dying but got back on form quick. The VC funding part was pure gold.

I'm hesitant to even quote this because I don't want to derail this thread but Russ Hanneman is one of the best TV characters I have seen in a long time.

Russ is so fucking hilarious. A billion dollars is 1 thousand million dollars. Losing several hundred of those millions isn't going to make you sell your car. And when he deleted all the porn with his tequila bottle, picked it up, then put it back down to test it, goddamn.

Probably the best scene in the series, which is saying a lot because it's great.
I had my beefs with this GoT season, but not nearly as bad as a lot of you are complaining about.

I hope there's an episode where Richard Hendricks meets Cory Kennedy and they get confused about who's who.

I know there's a seperate thread, but w/e,,,, I don't know wtf they're going to do with Richard getting fired next season. Can't wait to find out! Unlike with GoT... I just want Winds of Winter

George is going to kill him again next episode just to toy with us. He has to one-up himself after burning a child alive last season.
-
I don't know, I think that feeding his father's wife and new born child to the dogs is a one up.

That might be the most savage thing I have ever seen.
I never read the books but it seems to me like the last season was hampered by not having enough story left to put on screen. But now that they are just going for it sans source material the show seems to have hit its stride again.
-
The ending of episode 1 was hilarious because it was just a naked old woman going to bed.
Jon died so his watch has ended and he's going to take the free folk to Winterfell and fuck em up.
Davos should be new Lord Commander.
Theon in the Kingsmoot?
Tower of Joy?!?

Well now we know they're going to do the flashbacks to reveal Jon's parentage via Bran using the warp whistle next episode.
RIP Roose. I kind of liked how you were a super calculated asshole, but now your son is going to fuck all your shit up.

Yeah for like... six episodes. He wanted to go to the wall but I bet, what with his watch ending and all, Jon's going to bring the wall to him.

I was kinda hoping the roose bolton skin stealing theory was true. I guess this doesn't necessarily mean it's not true, but how sick would it be if roose bolton was using ramsey just so he could steal his skin and be immortal.
Here's a recap of the theory.

True, feeding your dogs so much fat cannot be good for their health.

What they need is a balanced diet of raw fruit and doggy tramadol.

We all knew Jon was going to come back....just a matter of when...good job Melisandre
-
Now that he works for R'hllor, do you think Jon is going to start burning people? If he does I'll get a boner so big I pass out from oxygen deprivation.

All he does is on the show is HARUMPH at Cersei. Unless we get a montage of his hand-iwork he's less useful than the door to Tywin's shitter.

I don't know how they're going to serve everyone justice in the next episode based on the synopsis and photos from the upcoming episode:
1. Daenerys meets her future.
2. Bran meets the past (Tower of Joy).
3. Tommen confronts the High Sparrow (also including the rest of the Lannisters and their King's Landing henchmen).
4. Arya trains to be No One.
5. Varys finds an answer (includes the whole Meereen crew based on photos).
6. Ramsay gets a gift (*spoiler warning* most likely Rickon).
7. The aftermath of Jon's resurrection will also be featured.
The only ones really missing are Sansa/Brienne, Theon & the Ironborn, Samwell (three episodes in and no Sam? Not right to play your boy like that), and Dorne. I noticed Sunspear, Dorne was missing from the opening credits map from the last episode, which is the first time Dorne has been out since Season 5 began. That may be foreboding that Dorne's storyline will be reduced this season. While I don't think they'll entirely write them off, I wouldn't be surprised if they kept them out until towards the end of this season and reveal that they've brought their army north against the Lannisters.

Doran is a loyalist in the novels, but now he's dead and he never mentioned Daenerys or another Targaryen during his time on the show. Ellaria and the Brood of Bitches have no real ties to Targaryens except through their country's history. Unless Varys or another Targaryen loyalist makes their way to Dorne to convince them to fly the banner for the Dragons, Dorne's sole purpose on the show is as a foil to the Lannisters; to eradicate them as revenge for Oberyn & Elia.

The show has mishandled Dorne (Should they have handled them at all?) pretty badly so there's no telling what they'll do with them. It seems like their idea of Dorne began and ended with Oberyn and then they were all "oh shit". Me personally I'm hoping Dorne goes the way of Valyria, but with how they're setting up Lannisters vs. The Faith I don't think Dorne will get treated very well again this season. Maybe Varys is already cool with... everyone? in Dorne like it turned out he was with everyone in Mereen? Dorne would be a good place to park some ships.

I feel like Myrcella's death was pretty important to the Cersei story (fulfilling the witch's prophecy and also just another reason to blame Tyrion fro something) and wouldn't have been a part of it at all without Dorne.

I agree with half of it. Her death was pretty ham fisted and inelegant and smelled, to me, like they had no idea what else to do with her. Or Doran. Or Trystane. Or Areo Hotah. Or that whole section of the continent. Cersei was like "oh... huh... just like that witch said. I guess she was right." It was more about her holding on to Tommen and Jaime than seeking revenge for Myrcella or any of that. I bet her vs. the sand snakes gets dropped for awhile (watch Sunday be all about the fucking sand snakes) until another element gets added to it. Maybe a small, bearded, fugitive element.

True, the sand snakes and dorne in general may have to take others' place on the rowboat of forgotten plot lines from last season.

I think it's crucial to Cersei's development. Compare Cersei's reaction to Joffrey's death vs. Myrcella's. In Joffrey's, she screamed bloody murder and demanded Tyrion's head. In Myrcella's, she's just defeated and surrendered to the witch's prophecy. This last episode with her bit about Varys's birds brought some of the old Cersei back, but right now, the Lannisters are looking completely powerless aside from having The Mountain on hand. Their comeuppance for a lifetime of treachery looks like it's coming to a head, even without the Starks doing anything to them at all. It could be at the hands of the Sand Snakes, or really anyone at this point in King's Landing's rotten state.
Just for conversational purposes, it seems like faith and magic are taking a front seat this season, compared to others where it was lightly touched upon. Jon is back from the dead (with heavy emphasis on Lady Melisandre's struggle with her faith), Cersei feels beholden to the Witch's prophecy, Bran's warg flashbacks take up significant screen time, red priests in Meereen (and Volantis last season) are praising Daenarys like Melisandre latched onto Stannis and now Jon Snow, Arya is magically going blind and back...
On that note, every trailer for this season (http://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/about/video/season-6-tease) has teased at every house falling and everyone dying. I've only read the first book so I'm not familiar with the Faceless Men's methods outside of what the show has shown, so let me know if I'm stupid, but part of me thinks Arya, or her earthly form at least, just died herself. Whenever any other volunteers drank the water, they did so looking for relief. Arya drank the water and experienced relief, which might have been what happened from the drinkers' perspective, while somebody watching Arya might have just seen her collapse. The House of Black and White, for being a worldwide network of hitmen, seems to be only be composed of Jaqen H'gar, the shitty bitch Arya trains with, and maybe another servant here or there, all of whom interchange faces or disappear in thin air, so it seems like they're not among the living.
So far this season has me gripped. It's really somber and dark. I'm braced for everything to go to hell.

Lannisters are back in recon mode. Interesting to see how they are basically using Qyburn to fulfill some for Varys's role in KL. Cersei seemed pretty deflated when she forgave Tommen, like, "Fuck it, yeah it's fine, you're probably just going to die anyway".
The House of B&W is weird on screen. Guessing there are quite a few people in service to it, and at any given time they're out on missions/killing people, or roaming around doing chores. Arya seems to be taking a path similar to Jon's - giving herself to a cause. Jon gave up any (potential) claim to take the black. Arya gives up her name, and herself, to become faceless. Jon is released of his vows. Arya, I assume at some point, will get back to Westeros and cross paths with Mel.
Mel is going to be weird as fuck now. This chick went from cocky, to broken, to confused about what her abilities actually even are, and if there is any sort of afterlife.
This is a fucking stretch but does anybody else foresee the Mountain/Hound fight potential? We have it confirmed that Robert Strong is Gregor, for the first time I think. Cersei made a comment about using him as her champion should she choose trial by combat. Is there potential for the Hound to be Gravedigger, and somehow be chosen by the Faith, since he's **maybe** out on Quiet Isle now?

There's an Ian McShane interview where he basically says he's playing Meribald and then he spoils some shit if you are inclined to go look for it. I won't force it on anyone.
I think what's going on in the House of B&W is sort of like what happened in the House of the Undying. It exists both in and out of time, you know? People go in and have their experience on their own. Arya and Jaqen are in there, but others might be as well, and is that even Jaqen or just a familiar face for Arya?
I like Qyburn? Weird. He looks out for the little guy in his own way. Whether that's taking care of street children or creating undead revenge monsters.
Loved Tormund's dick joke.

melisande's tits > daenerys' tits
since mel likes to use sex to manipulate, will we ever see her seduce the mighty khaleesi? is it known, wink, wink?
also, an extra wrote the entire plot for the episode 9 on reddit if you care to believe it is true
-
I hope Littlefinger gets iced soon. The first few double crosses were fine but by now everyone in Westeros ought to know that he is an untrustworthy shitbag. The idea that he can still get anyone else to side with him (or physically protect him) is getting more implausible.

Hodor origin story and death scene? Wasn't expecting that one.

That was heavy. Worse than when Stannis killed Shireen.
So, Baelish being the piece of shit that he is, what do you guy thinks going to happen at Riverrun?
-
There's no way that was worse than a father burning his innocent daughter alive. Down to two direwolves now what the fuck Summer.
No idea how more people aren't talking about or disappointed with the origin of the White Walkers. Kind of a let down to find out they're a creation of the children that just basically went rogue.
Wouldn't be surprised if Baelish is still playing Sansa, and used the Riverrun bit just to get Brienne and Sansa separated.
-
Watching Arya see her family's history rewritten in front of her was pretty interesting as well. That had to suck.
You can see Cersei's influence on the history of the kingdoms through that skit. Robert being a drunk prick. Joff being naive and childish, instead of evil and fucked up. Ned perceived as a dumbass that wants the throne. Tyrion cast as the grand villain that is pulling all the strings in the background. Bravos actually is pretty chill.
Wondering if that was Coldhands we got a glimpse of in preview for next week.
-
I thought it was worse. Maybe worse is the wrong word, but the totality of the circumstances was heavier, for me. Shireen's death pissed me off, I remember saying "I'm done with this fucking show," but that season was pretty bad and I feel like it was all just in there to get a reaction out of a shit season. With Hodor, it wasn't the death alone, it was the back story, Bran's "influence."
This is probably my favorite season outside of 1.
-
Wondering if that was Coldhands we got a glimpse of in preview for next week.
I thought that he was going to be right outside the door. Hoping anyway. He's the only way I could see those 2 getting away from the white walkers.
I think. Baelish is going to go into self preservation mode and he's gonna fuck some people over to save himself.
do what he always does.

I thought they were setting up a return for Benjen with the greenseeing part. I also read a theory somewhere that the white walkers want Bran to make it to the wall because somehow being touched and having the night king's mark on him will break the curse that prevents the WW's from going past the wall similar to the tree in this episode.
-
Not sure about the marking Bran to get behind the wall, because I don't think it's ever been mentioned that the wall is somehow magically protected in the show.

They mention it quite a bit in the first season. I can't cite specific scenes because it's been awhile but Bran, Ned, Jon, and Tyrion at the very least mention the wall containing magic.
-
Yeah, yeah, shame about Hodor, but what about Bran's direwolf? :'( That was cruel af.
-
Did anyone else notice that Daenerys was wearing the ring that Grayscale Mary Mormont touched around her neck? Mormont noted in the last episode that the grayscale never touched Daario to afflict him, so his hands alone might not be enough to make the ring contagious, but if he were a restauranteur, I'd give him a poor review.
No idea how more people aren't talking about or disappointed with the origin of the White Walkers. Kind of a let down to find out they're a creation of the children that just basically went rogue.
Yeah that was one of the biggest moments in history brushed over in seconds. Was expecting more.
They went full fantasy for this one. The show, and the books for that matter, are praised for using magic sparingly and relying mostly on quasi-historical human drama. But this episode ended with a tree elf using a fire sphere to stave off wights who just killed a human crow from killing a time traveler who was altering the past to save himself in the present. It'll be interesting to see where they take that from here.
This is probably my favorite season outside of 1.
It's hard to pick just one but I'm definitely hooked. This episode got me good. Bran's flashbacks are gripping.

Well, one of the biggest theories running about the books is that Benjen is Cold Hands.

I don't understand the White Walkers. So the Children of the Forest created them and they rebelled? Did they create them knowing they couldn't be controlled and just hoped for the best?

Pretty much. Create a weapon that's fucked up enough to destroy your enemies, then realize that weapon can't be controlled. That's what you get when you create magic NBA player sized snow zombies to fight your battles for you.

The First Men were cutting their trees down so they went ahead and made invincible undead mind control ice zombies that have free will. Tit for tat.

i think it's benjen or some adaptation of coldhands. that guy at the end wasn't riding an elk.

All this hold the door talk on my feeds today made me google to see what the fuss was about. I have never watched the show before, I just wanted to know this one reference to maybe be in on the jokes. Nope, not at all.
Bran is somehow stuck in a vision (maybe he just want to stay there) and then they get attacked by whites. Meera tells him to warg into hodor and he does ... while still in the vision. This seems to cause some sort of srew up and hodor in the past is warged into by bran and he hears Meera's shouts to hold the door.
Some people have a theory that Bloodraven put Bran there in that vision so that Hodor could become Hodor so that he was there to hold the door in the first place!
-
Don't worry. You're not missing out. The jokes are only there to cover up the tears.
I think what's going on in the House of B&W is sort of like what happened in the House of the Undying.
Hey, speaking of the House of the Undying...

I think so but I also think not. Someone is hanging people in the Riverlands, and someone is leading what's left of the Brotherhood, but Cat Stark has been dead for what would probably amount to years in show time hasn't she? Since the third season.
-
Yes, but nobody really knows what's going on in the Riverlands. LSH could've been just rolling around hanging people for years and we're just seeing it now.
But I don't think we're every seeing LSH on the show. Ever. Bummer. At least we have the Hound/Mountain battle potential restored.
-
Yeah, we're def not getting LSH ever. That's fine. At least we got to see The Hound go Kai the hitchhiker on those dudes.

I wanted LSH but also think it's fine. Clegane joining up with Berric Dondarrion and Thoros to go against the White Walkers? I'll take it. Looks like a lot of people are going to be heading towards Winterfell soon.
-
Arya's story line is so goddamn weak. Seriously how many seasons that built up to her just quitting? I hope she goes back to Westeros and starts working on that list again, otherwise what a fucking waste.
-
Why is it a waste? She actually learned and developed. Who fucking cares if she quit. Everybody knew she wouldn't remain faceless anyway.
The only show storyline that is a waste at this point is Dany's. She starts with the Dothraki, leaves/abandoned, goes around freeing cities, settles in Meereen. Leaves Meeren, ends up in Dothraki. Cities fall back into slavery. Dany heads back to Meereen. Again. At least now she has a larger army.
-
She didn't learn shit other than how to wash dead people and fight in the dark. I'd call that a waste.
-
Cutting off from Meereen mid-battle was pretty weak.
-
Aryas story is fucked up . Book is so far much better and I hope it keeps going in the current direction in the books
-
Battle of the Bastards is going to be epic.. I hope
Maybe we'll finally see Ramsay get what he deserves
-
So what are the chances Grrrrrrrrrrr Martin will let the tv show effect the way he writes the books ? will he stick to his original idea of where his books are going ? or look at what characters are most popular and then focus more on them or let them live when they were supposed to die
Some parts in the books are ahead of the tv and some are behind . Other parts didnt happen the way they did in the books
how much free reign do the TV directors have ?
-
He already met with the TV folks and gave them broad guidelines for how it's going to go in the books but the minor storylines/details etc. will be different.
The only major difference will be Osha's character; George liked Natalie Tena's portrayal so much more than his book counterpart that he's attempting to expand her role in future novels.
My main fear this season was the show's writing with no novel for basis. I just want to rant off my thoughts so tl;dr & spoiler warning now:
The frustrating thing about Arya's storyline is that the Faceless Men's are so lackadaisical in following their own stringent religious principles. "You must give up all desires to truly be no one" -- The Waif clearly wants to kill Arya. And Arya already showed that she had no desire to kill the innocent, regardless of whom the Many-Faced God wanted. Jaqen proclaims Arya is "finally No One," after he said there are no third chances and when he must know damn well she wasn't going to come back under his employ. I hope there's a larger motive involved there or else this religion will be the Scientology of Thrones. Still might be.
Also, I understand budgetary restrictions, but a few more Faceless Men extras wandering around in the background of the House of Black & White would've made the whole affair far more believable. Arya not having a weapon on her and getting gutted in the stomach was a misstep. Then proceeding to fall, drag, and run with an opening day-old wound is taking the already edge-of-believability of this show and taking it to a length I can't enjoy. Yes, dragons, resurrection, and ice zombies all live on this show, but people die when they deserve to die. Khal Drogo died from a fucking flesh wound.
Breaking midway through the Meereen siege is fine by me because a least I know the scene will be resolved by the finale or early next year--and not in 5+ years like George did to everyone who reads the books.
Hyping up LSH and Cleganebowl in episode 7 was so palpable that this past episode was a fish slap to the face. I'm not a LSH-enthusiast and haven't been since season 4 ended--that would've been the only prominent time to show her in my mind. Even still, showing members of the BWB turning dark and hanging anyone who is/was friends with the Lannisters (the Hound and supposedly the villagers) was too strong an indicator. Fine, they were just a few bad apples in a still noble group and promptly disposed of. But then outlawing trials by combat and sending Sandor north? The Mountain needs to be slain and he needs to be slain by his brother.
Killing major recurring characters like the Waif and Blackfish offscreen is a waste. That's three episodes that we haven't been emotionally jarred by a death (Hodor). Understandably, Clive Russell didn't want to film a fight scene at his age.
I'd like more Melisandre, Ramsay, Rickon, Sam, & Gilly please. Where is Sam going? If he's going to the Citadel in Oldtown still, cool. If he's going back to the Wall, what the fuck. I also feel like we're not going to see his family again and it seems like a waste of great characters.
Tyrion's been relegated to the Meereen Small Council Jester and it mostly sucks. Who thought I'd miss seeing the polarizing citizens of Meereen?
I'm cool with the Ironborn, especially since it looks like they're going to help Daenerys defeat the Masters, and hopefully add their ships to the Iron Fleet for a successful invasion of Westeros. Crossing my fingers that Tyrion and Theon share a moment of silence for Ros.
Varys is most likely going to Dorne for assistance. The hell have the sand snakes been up to? They don't seem like the types to sit quietly.
I really preferred the look of the previous Night King actor, Richard Brake. He had a strong jawline, the new guy isn't as menacing.
I miss Edd.

saucy ragu . EVERYTHING is frustrating about the arya story line
Even before Bravos They took away kills from her , and they added other kills she never did in the books . Other random changes
that never needed to be done and was fine in the books
My feelings / understanding of her in the book is that she wants to be a faceless assassin . She understands and wants to serve .
Now she kept needle so she is not ready to give up on everything yet . But she is deff embracing being a assassin since
she has no problem with taking out her targets that the faceless have gave her . And she seems very happy on being a apprentice
for a real assassin . No mention of her warg'ing powers .
No real lore from the books that many come to the temple to kill themselves , or that the faceless take care of the bodies and give peace to
people who suffer , and no real mention on all the coins and possessions they keep
In the TV show the waif wants arya dead , but in the books they are really good friend ( not really the same waif ) .
I was really hoping in the books that Arya became a faceless one and did her job . But with the spoilers from the TV show . Im kinda worries that this means GRRRRR Martin will make her abandon them and go back to westeros . It would be a weird direction from what how the books are going now ...
So many weird things in the TV shows , chars that are alive in the books get killed off for no reason ?

I was talking to a buddy of mine who is more up on GoT lore and teories than I am, and he was trying to tell me about a theory that the waif wasn't actually real, but Arya's alter ego fighting itself to become no one. I don't buy it, because there sure was a face on the wall at the end of that episode, but who's face was it really.
Like I said, I don't buy it.

The only thing I see backing that one is that she got stabbed... A lot... And the knife got twisted. then she drank some soup, killed the waif and was fine.

When Arya first met Jaqen he mentioned her kill list and said a girl would have the opportunity to give them all to the Red God. He says that right before he gives her the Braavosi coin after helping her, Hot Pie, and Gendry escape Harrenhall. He never intended for her to complete training and become a real Faceless Man. He mentioned the Red God, which according to every other mention of a Red God is R'Hllor. That's what got Arya interested in becoming a faceless man in the first place. Arya was always supposed to go back to Winterfell for what's coming.

Nothing of that makes sense . The faceless men are paid assassin who kill who they are paid to kill . But theres also a creed to it . They have rules . Whats the reason for them to train arya and then let her go , It breaks their rules . They dont have a vested interest in the politics in Westeros or who is king or queen . No investment in the Starks .
The TV shows the faceless men as a half assed organisation that dont follow their own rules for no other reason then to train her for some reason and then let her go . And she didnt get that much training at all really .

That actually pissed me off, because we deserved to see the Waif get it. The off-screen deaths are have become pretty cheap in the last two seasons. I was pretty disappointed to find out they ended Stannis with an off-screen kill. Blackfish I understand. Waif deserved to be shown, even if it was in pitch black, they could've included the sounds, a shriek, and then her stumbling out into the daylight to take her last breaths. At least we saw the bloodied face on the wall.
Old roommate was trying to tell me she believes that was actually another face, and the Waif is just wearing Arya's face, as she's trying to quit the faceless men. tinafeyeyeroll.gif

Jaqen explicitly states she will give people to the Red God. The same Red God that has a plan for Jon Snow and a plan for Bran Stark. The Starks are important and have connections they don't even know about which should be obvious to everyone who doesn't run off on Syrio Forel tangents. If he follows the Red God, which I see no reason to not think R'Hllor, the Many Faced God, and the Seven are all the same just interpreted differently by people, then what he serves is much greater than just killing people for money. He was training Arya to be a warrior in the war that's coming, just as 3ER trained Bran and Melisandre is Melisandreing Jon. The Red God is only concerned with the impending WW war, not poisoning an actress for a couple of bucks.
Arya is more important than being an anonymous assassin. Get your heads out of your asses.

Has there been any sort of "proof" of the Seven's existence in any way? So there seems to be some evidence that the OG existed, and proof that the Red God and Many Faced God exists (might be the same).

The Faith of the Seven worship seven aspects of one god. The mother, father, stranger, crone etc. are all one deity. A deity with many faces, if you will. I personally think everyone is unknowingly worshipping R'Hllor and he is the only real god.

Ive read the more popular theories about Jon Snow and I do belive in them . Seems in many ways quite clear where he comes from and where he is going . But like I said the books and tv show are very different . The Faceless men are religous assassins , who have set rules .
The tv show shows them ass kinda religious assassins who kind of have rules but they break them for no other reason then to help the starks . The Faceless men dont have a political agenda in this whole war . They are not trying to become royalty or trying to sign a contract with the Starks to become a Stark assassin club
She goes to braavos because of the coin and because of meeting Jaqen . But claiming Braavos knew about the future war and sent Syrio Forel as a special agent to teach arya to fight , Fooling Ned to hire this spy at his own wish , or that Syrio Forel is actually Jaqen its just pushing the conspiracy theories too far
Saying a League of assassins who care nothing about who they kill , figured out there will be a war , decide to send out a spy to train a little girl who is not really anyone special , train her , save her , trick her to braavos , train her again in a religious assassin cult , break the rules for no reason and then send her away to do what ?
Like I said the books are alot different and make more sense . Maybe I should bump the other thread with spoilers from the book so we can talk more openly about this
-
I know about the books, do you mean so we don't ruin it for other people?
Jaqen was never training Arya to be a faceless man, he was training her, as a servant of the Red God, for her role in the war that's coming. That's why he "broke the rule" and let Arya leave, because it wasn't a rule for her. She isn't going back to Westeros to join in a fight for a crown, she's going to help the living fight the dead. That's the Red God's whole entire thing. She was never meant to stay at the House of Black and White.

Nah I thought this myself. As saucy ragu pointed out, the House of Black and White, a giant building housing a network of high-end assassins that span two countries had about four people in it. These four people do tradesies on faces, make people go magically blind, etc. The whole thing appears to be more of an "experience" than something that adheres to physics, like the House of the Undying, as shit for brains brought up a while ago. So I was genuinely surprised at the "don't let her suffer" scene, in that I thought the waif was an imaginative figure or Ja'qen in a different form or whatever. Like saucy, it just leaves me bummed that they didn't populate the House of Black and White more.
Arya running around after getting stabbed in the gut four times was stupid. But the night fight was cool.
I'm not expecting people to listen, but I'd dig it if you chilled on using book spoilers without proper spoiler alerts, which seems to be the case so far.

Felt strange and uncomfortable for the show to give me so much of what I wanted.

Should've shown Ramsay getting torn to pieces instead of cutting to Sansa's smile. Just stoked that Tormund made it out of that battle alive. That was heavy.

Now we're talking!

The whole Meereen segment was unexpected and so satisfying. The dragon CGI was infinitely better than last year's pit scene, and believeable to watch. Dany & Sansa are becoming cold, but needfully so. Thankfully with some level-headedness as well, be it them or their advisors. Holy cinematography christ on that battle scene. They spent 25 days filming and about two months overall out there in Saintfield, so worth it.
Does anyone know where I can find a screenshot breakdown of the episode 10 trailer?

That battle scene was fucking intense. The tracking shot of Jon fucking people up and chaos happening all around him, the scene of him being suffocated under the bodies, goddamn. What a good episode. That should shut people up when complaining about a lack of dragons for awhile. All three destroying the Masters' fleet is some legendary shit. During Aegon's conquest all three dragons only flew together once and they wrote books about it.

Must've sucked to be on that one ship.

Wow, one hell of an episode.
Personally, I'm relieved that the Onion Knight made it out alive. One of my favorite characters for sure. Wonder what he's going to do to Melisandre.
Minor plot hole: Sansa rides away before Ramsay says that stuff about not feeding his dogs. It bugged me a bit that she confronted him with that at the end, since she couldn't have had heard him say it before. Minor gripe.

I noticed that too , I just guessed they brought it up again later before she went down there
Its kinda funny how we dont believe or refuse to accept some things
In a world with dragons , giants , wood elf thingys , dragon glass , assassins that can switch faces and undead zombies . We refuse to believe Sansa could have hear a conversation from a long distance

I knew Wun Wun was gonna bite it.
100% with Shitforbrains. Everything he said makes so much sense that Martin could just be setting it up to take it away from us.

So since Sansa is obviously pregnant with Ramsay's rape baby, anybody else figure Littlefinger will swoop in with the marriage offer and they play it off like it's his kid? It'd be hard for Ramsay's name to disappear otherwise. Littlefinger's desire to fuck redheaded Tullys is what set all this in motion in the first place.

I'm not following on the Sansa being pregnant theory floating around. Within the timeline of the show, a few months have passed, so she would be showing. Yes, she's been wearing mostly thick clothing all season so it would be tough to see, but we've had little indication that she would be pregnant otherwise other than the "I can still feel what he did inside me" line, which most of Ramsay's other victims could probably agree to.. if they're alive. Also, though there are some dialogue plot holes in her storyline, I'm sure she would've asked Melisandre for some morning-after medicine by now.
I think Baelish will want to position her as Queen in the North, with himself in a high advisory role. He may even want to try to edge Jon out of the picture--he's too much like Ned, and Ned caused problems for Baelish previously.

I forget the exact line but Ramsay says something very "you're carrying my baby" before Sansa does the "you'll disappear" speech. It's not outright said but it's as heavily implied as why Cersei is looking for wildfire caches. Sansa and her heir will ultimately run Winterfell but there's only going to be one crown in the North and it won't be on Sansa.
-
He just says he's a part of her now. Sure that could mean pregnancy, but Ramsay would have no idea and it's been months since he last had a ride on the salsa cart. He's probably just saying he's a part of her because she'll never forget his abuse and what he's done to her. Sansa's rebuttal (or what I took from it) was that she might remember, but everybody else will forget. His last moments were understanding that his hubris had brought down the entirety of house Bolton, and that he doesn't control everything like he thought he did.

Last season Baelish made a deal with Cersei to make him Warden of the North. Might want Sansa to be his wife.
I'm not on board with the pregnant Sansa theory but I could be wrong. Everything is going too nicely right now. Still hoping Podrick and his magic cock teach Sansa how to love again.
-
I don't hope Sansa is pregnant, because who gives a shit about that stuff the clock is ticking on White Walkers and dragons and shit, that's just the message I'm getting from the show. I'm more than willing to accept being wrong about it though.
-
Was that Small Jon guy on the show before? I thought he looked important but I had zero recollection of him.
Also, now that I'm past the relief that the Starks won the battle, I'm back to being pissed at Jon Snow for being a dipshit and getting 3000 of his men killed and nearly losing everything in the exact way he himself predicted.

Everything has been going too nicely hasn't it? Except for the Hodor thing, this season has been going great. Makes me wonder how they're going to fucking ruin it next episode.

He was only in the episode where Ramsay kills Roose and he calls the Karstark guy a kiddie fiddler. His dad, Great Jon, was the person who declared Robb King Indanorff but I think he dipped out before the Red Wedding and hasn't been seen since. Small Jon said GJ died "on his own" so I'm not sure what happened to him. Maybe he's out in the woods touching buttholes with the blackfish.

In the books, they mention a battle that happened hundreds of years before the events of the show during the Targaryen conquest called the Field of Fire. It was the only time all three dragons flew together during the conquest and combined they burned about 5,000 troops in just a couple of hours and was the event that made Torrhen Stark surrender the north to Aegon Targaryen. Since the only thing that kills wights is fire (and dragon glass) and the show has beat us over the head with that fact, I'd put a couple of bucks on us seeing three dragons flying around burning thousands of wights at some point.
They slashed the episode order for seasons 7 and 8 from 10 each to 7 and 6 respectively, and that's so they can budget $20-$25m per episode instead of the $6-$10m they've been doing the past few years. I think the last episode was close to the $20m mark, so we're to expect 13 episodes of that level with more production time allowed for fewer episodes. S'gonna be good.

any word on the time line for the remaining seasons?

Interesting. Sounds like they're def gonna go all out then. Probably most epic scene ever!
I am kinda bummed they're cutting seasons 7 and 8 down to under 10, but I guess the series can't go on forever

I was bummed at first but if it's 7 episodes like this past one, I'm okay with ditching a lot of Cersei sitting around talking. It's more money for battles and dragons.

HBO has a nasty habit of stretching out shows if they are hot, plot be damned. If they are writing their way towards a satisfying, well thought out conclusion it can only be a good thing.

Also oh shit I was totally right assholes. From an interview with the actor who plays Jaqen H'Gar
In my opinion, it was clear from the beginning. I mean, that’s the reason he trained her. He didn’t train her to become a Faceless Man and stay in the House of Black and White in Braavos forever. I think that Faceless Men, they certainly have an interest [in] what’s going on in Westeros, otherwise why would he [have] just shown up out of the blue, in Season 2 and picked Arya and offered her to train her? So there must be some sort of interest and I think, yeah, what’s the point of training her if she can’t put that training to use?[?Quote]

That makes no sense at all still for me . Plus its just the actor who says its , not GRRRRRR Martin or the producers of the show
The faceless men predicted all the starks future and who would live or die , and tracked down Arya through all that chaos ? cause they know that Snow would quit the watch and sansa would live and escape and Arya had to meet up with them again ?
Or is it just shitty writing ? kind of like Arya getting stabbed 50 times , drinking soup and be ok again ?
Like I said before , the house of black and white in the tv show is nothing like the books

Shit_for_brains, I was just coming to post that. I'd be really happy about that, gives hope to that storyline.
Monty, you're right--it's only an actor stating that he could be wrong. However, actors have been known to sort of let things slip while the producers are tight-lipped sons of bitches. GRRM falls in between that.
Arya being stabbed and surviving was poor writing, but the Faceless Men training Arya as a means to an end makes sense, especially if it's for an as-yet unheard prophecy on the show. We've already had two prophecies mentioned on the show: The Prince that Was Promised and Cersei's dead children from Maggie the Frog. It's all quite possible that Arya's journey will be revealed to be a prophecy as well, Melisandre already hinted as much in season three.

Did they ever give a reason for Jaqen being in Westeros in the the first place?

i'm a little bit late, but here goes. the battle was epic, very realistic with all the death and so on. but still, jon survived incredible odds and then even risked his head against a bunch of arrows. I'm 100% sure that GRRM will write this differently (if the battle even happens in the books), I'm just curious how
also the knights of the vale entry was timed perfectly, which also reeks (hehe) of holywood. not a whole lot of tragedy in this ep. - rickon was made expendable in the show

Nah, which is why the actor (among others) thinks Jaqen's motives are more than just recruiting another assassin.

Rickon's pretty expendable in the books too: We don't know much about him and even if he died, Bran could potentially be the last remaining true male Stark heir. I usually forgive GOT for any forays into the cliche like with those last-minute battle saves, it's done enough shocking to warrant it in my view.

I dont think its fair to call them out on milking it . I mean 6 seasons so far and theres gonna be 7 books right ? . 10 eps per season so its kind of a tight schedule . Its not like the show is following 1 or 2 persons only , theres maybe more then 10 multiple story lines
I dont really think the show has lost the quality either . Might be some bad episodes here and there but overall very good

are you fucking kidding me? the books are so thick that you'd need 25+ hour seasons to cover it all.

Agreed. After the heavy episode last week and this being the season finale, I thought they were going to leave us with a huge cliffhanger... Stoked on this episode.
-
really digging cersei dark queen vibe. be curious to see how things go with her and jayme. i so in the post show break down how they were saying that her kids were the only thing that was keeping her from being completely evil and unrelatable. now that they are all dead, gonna be crazy.
also really dug the king of the north scene. gotta be nerve racking proposition and like the cross tension with little finger there. you know they are going to have a repeated attempted red wedding.
arya finally coming out as the bad ass stealth assassin was also rad. curious how she got a face, wonder if that means she's still working with the nameless bunch.
-
That's one way to trim the casting budget.
Also, Lyanna Mormont is probably the best character ever.
-
Biggest shock of the finale- Sam's scene.
That was a very big library!
-
Hell of an episode. Love the Walder Frey assassination, and the fact that the writers followed up on the Rat Cook foreshadowing from this scene:
https://youtu.be/VV5txCNDco0?t=19
-
What's the deal on future seasons? Last page says they might go to 10 seasons but my wife just showed me something where the showrunners are saying 13ish more episodes in two truncated seasons. What's up?
Both sound like bad options.
-
^13 episodes over the next two years makes sense since there's a hard definitive ending. They want to maximize their budget allocation per episode cause you can be sure those 13 episodes are going to be packed with epic shit in terms of battles and effects.
Got around to watching the finale earlier today. Neat and tidy settling of accounts and new battle lines being drawn amongst all the groups.
Lannisters are trapped into fighting a two front war now with the Targaryen invasion force in the south (assuming this is where they touch ground to meet up with the High Garden/Dorne alliance) and the newly "unified" north (although they're also the front line against the coming white walker invasion and will be hit hardest in the winter).
Lots to look forward to

Ol' Jon Targaryen is going to fuck the shit out of his cousin.

The Targaryens are pretty big on inter-marrying.

I'm really hoping they decide to introduce my favorite character next season. How bad ass would it be if before Dany and them get to westerosi they're met on the ocean by Victarion who is aiding Euron. Just a giant battle at sea. I really wish they went more into the horns in the show and how the dragons refuse to obey her.
-
How okay with inter-fucking the Targaryens are is what Cersei used to use to tell herself it was fine to fuck her brother. Then she just was like "I like fucking my brother that's good enough for me." And Danaerys is Jon's Aunt, not cousin. Not that it would matter between the sheets. I wonder if there'll be any sort of proof of Jon's parentage, like documentation that would make Danaerys put her claim aside. Rhaegar was the heir, and Jon is his heir, so Danaerys shouldn't even be in consideration outside of her waging a war of conquest.

Maybe Sam will find some sort of documentation in Old Town?
There's the idea floating around that Littlefinger might be able to prove it with his Littlefingery ways. If Bran showed back up and was like "I saw it by touching a tree and my brain went back in time" nobody's going to believe that shit.

How okay with inter-fucking the Targaryens are is what Cersei used to use to tell herself it was fine to fuck her brother. Then she just was like "I like fucking my brother that's good enough for me." And Danaerys is Jon's Aunt, not cousin. Not that it would matter between the sheets.

No not at all. There was a rumor going around that when they go to bury Rickon in the tombs everyone sees Jons tomb that reads "here lies the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark" didn't happen though. Going to be hard to prove, but I'm sure Littlefinger does have his ways. Howland Reed can prove it though. He was there.

Howland Reed can say he was there but that's left to if people believe him or not, which him being a little crannogman nobody has heard from in 20 years... who knows. I heard the stuff about Rickon in the crypt and while kind of neat I mean... that crypt is old and there's no tomb for Jon in there. If there was a secret note laying around naming Jon heir to the Iron Throne someone probably would have found it, and they definitely wouldn't be stuffing a dead bastard under their ancient castle so why would there ever be a tomb for him there? Ned gave Robert a walking tour of the crypt in the very first episode, so he probably wouldn't walk him right past a tomb declaring his "bastard" the true king. Ned didn't even tell Cat who Jon was, he let his own wife go totally nuts over it, so I doubt he'd order construction of a tomb with a secret message in it. That's not so much directed at you Stoop Kid, just my thoughts on it. I never gave much credence to their being physical proof of who Jon is outside of MAYBE a declaration from Rhaegar that Littlefinger somehow got his hands on before anyone else saw it. There was all the talk of Rhaegar forming his own army and the Battle of the Trident being the first battle in Rhaegar's civil war against his father, so it's possible. Aerys had Aegon and Rhaenys locked away in the Red Keep so Rhaegar had to make his own, unthreatened heir. Littlefinger always talks about peoples' letters being the most powerful weapons.

He's probably holding onto that information for when it would hurt someone else/benefit him the most, if he knows anything at all. He's always liked to position himself close to people before he takes them down, and he was standing on that side of the table when Jon was declared Kingindanorff so... maybe? Also maybe not.

I think Jon's unintentional ascent to King in the North is about as unconventional as Cersei's and Daenerys's claim to the throne. Bastards seem to have as legitimate of a claim as queens, so Jon shouldn't be a threat to Daenerys in a legal sense. The traditions are getting brushed to the side with the new guard replacing the old anyway, as has been a theme this season. That and Jon wouldn't give a shit if someone else wanted to rule in the south.
This is probably already a thing, but I think the legitimacy of a Targaryen dynasty depends on whether Rhaegar was a "good guy." His legacy is primarily defined by the kidnapping and raping of Lyanna Stark, yet multiple people have compared Daenerys's wit and power to Rhaegar's as a compliment. I haven't read past the first book, but I wonder if Lyanna left and had a child with Rhaegar of her own will. She died before she had a chance to talk about anything other than Jon, and the accepted history of the war is already known to be a bunch of bullshit troubadour songs. Robert didn't burn people alive for funzies, but he was obviously a shitbag. Maybe the affair was actually an escape.
Let me know if I'm dumb.

She left on her own will. Her and Rhaegar were in love. She was betrothed to Robert but loved Rhaegar. Wasn't it at a tournament Rhaegar gave a rose or something to Lyanna over Cersei? Yeah they were in love. Robert couldn't stand it and thus Roberts rebellion and userping of the throne. Shit for brains made me think pretty hard. That one scene with Littlefinger and Sansa in the crypt is a dead give away that he knows something.
-
ALSO, just for consideration, Daenerys's current ascent mirrors her ancestor Aegon I much more than her other family. She's the first to have three fully grown dragons and to take Westeros by conquest over inheritance. Aegon I secured the north in his conquest after Torrhen Stark surrendered peacefully knowing he'd inevitably lose like the other kingdoms. Jon's hesitance to be king at all, let alone start another war, makes him seem set to pledge a peaceful allegiance with Daenerys.
On that note, as brought up earlier in the thread, Cersei's tenuous grasp on the throne doesn't seem to stand a chance against Daenerys's dragons, three armies, and knack for securing more armies in minutes. There's no reason for Daenerys to pledge war with the north either, given their mutual hatred of the Lannisters, Jon's reluctance to be king, and the soon-to-be-revealed familial relationship. Cersei gets gnarly when backed into a corner for sure, but her and Littlefinger are the only real threat aside from the White Walkers. Maybe Melisandre and the Brotherhood Without Banners somehow, but they seem to lean toward her side too.

He passed over his wife, Elia Martell (Oberyn's sister he fought The Mountain in order to avenge) to give the rose to Lyanna. Which could have been a heartfelt declaration of love or a creepy rapist power demonstration. I assume we'll learn more.
-
Rhaegar and Cersei were never anything. Tywin proposed they marry to Aerys but Aerys shut him down real hard. Dorne was always a pain in the ass to the Targaryens so Rhaegar marrying Elia was to maintain their peace for awhile longer, but Rhaegar and Lyanna were really in love and Rhaegar pretty much could do whatever the fuck he wanted. He was going to be king soon and everybody loved him. If Aerys hadn't killed the Starks things would've been a lot different.
Everyone in Dany's company who has met Jon Snow has only high praise for him. I think it may end up that Jaime becomes part of her troop in some way after she butt fucks King's Landing with dragons, and even Jaime Huge Piece of Shit Lannister respects Jon Snow. She'll need to marry someone for alliances, as she said. There's nobody else on her level. By the time Dany is done with Cersei, I suspect the White Walkers will already be south of the Wall, so they might find it an easy decision to make.

By the time Dany is done with Cersei, I suspect the White Walkers will already be south of the Wall, so they might find it an easy decision to make.
I'm not sure of Theon's feelings for Jon, but he definitely respected the Starks as a whole and absolutely feels indebted to them. Tyrion's the only other person who met him and they're forever-friends, so it's hardly doubted Jon will be in Dany's good books. I think Jaime just barely respects Jon for his honest convictions, but he thinks the Night's Watch is a joke like most Southroners: A life sentence to a cold ass, blue balls, and boredom. Jaime has no deep respect for the Watch or those a part of it. Also, Jaime killed Dany's father and told Bronn he would kill Tyrion for killing their father. As shitty as Dany knows Aerys was, the very best we can hope for Jaime is that he is exiled or sent to the Night's Watch. Ironically, that's the best we could hope for Tyrion two seasons ago. My opinion is that Jaime will find himself forced to kill Cersei for doing what the Mad King threatened to do (burning a city/part of a city to the ground) and he will follow her soon after. Most of Cersei's threats have come true, and she did say that she & Jaime came into this world together and would leave it together.
I believe someone mentioned that Dany is barren on here, thus throwing her importance as an heir-bearing monarch into question, as well as the importance of her character as a whole. Thus, it makes it difficult to see Dany surviving to the very end. I'm also not a Dany-Jon shipper, I understand the obvious threads leading to it and see no other viable option for marriage alliance on the show, but I hope it doesn't happen. I think the end of the show will establish a more democratic rule, and perhaps a severed kingdom in six or five.

Many theories believe that Rhaegar secretly sponsored the Tourney at Harrenhal in order to gain support for setting aside Aerys. He then wins the Tourney. Instead of his wife Elia of Dorne, Rhaegar crowned Lyanna the Queen of Love and Beauty by placing a grip of blue roses in her lap. Rhaegar then kidnaps or elopes with Lyanna. Soon after, Rickard and Brandon Stark stupidly march right into the court and demand that Aerys cough up Lyanna. Aerys kills them both then tells Jon Arryn to turn over his wards, Ned and Bobby B. Instead, Jon A calls his banners and rebels. Basically Jon Arryn starts the rebellion and Robert finishes it.

i thought jon's royal ancestry was important more for melisandre to be able to give him some special power to beat the white walkers. i'd assume this is why the red god's gave her the power to bring him back in the first place. it seems clear that power is more about who takes it than who is entitled to it on this show. theon and his sister to got outted really quick and danny has been taking over kingdoms that she has no real claim too. seems weird and weak if after all that they make a big plot arc revolve around jon have an ancestral right to the throne.

I think Jon's right to the throne will be more about what an overall important person he is, and not so much that now he's going to engage in a war so he can have his chair. He doesn't care about the throne, he doesn't care about anything aside from stopping the WW, so the "he's the true king" thing I think is just to make him more prophetic and an important figure. He's "The One" for a lot of reasons, that's just one of them.
-
i still can't imagine them using "right to the throne" as an important plot element in a positive way where that alone is meaningful. negative way, sure, last episode was an example of that with the stark boy getting taken out by ramsay.
also jon's rise has been in a large part inspite of being a bastard and underdog. they'd get more emtional capital from a reveal that was either after he had already gotten power or that was related to something other than him getting power.

Melisandre used the term 'prince that was promised'. Jon is a prince. This will mean more about him being a hero in the fight against the others rather than a claim to an inheritance. The only 2 prophecies that the show has really addressed are Azor Ahai and Cercei's.

In a perfect world, I'd prefer to read it first. I read all five books in between seasons 1 and 2.
The show is so good, and GRRM may never finish another one so therefore I watch.
Will they cast Rhaegar this year???
-
Stoked on this. Final season will only be 6 episodes too. Bummed but stoked for the massive budget in each episode
-
Honestly I feel cheated of a great story and content because of how short the final two seasons will be. 13 episodes feels like it's extremely rushed to tie all this shit up. 60 episodes for winter to come and 13 for it to end? I may wait for the books if they ever come out. I like the books a lot better and I feel like they'll give us more conclusion than whatever half assed shit I feel is coming. Without George's in detail novels they can't make it work as well. That's why season 6 was shit except for the last two episodes. They're rushing and butchering the story. They should of done a two season flashback to Roberts rebellion and let the characters get older like they do in the books and tie that into brans visions. That would give George more time to finish the books even though the fucker has had enough time or give George time to thoroughly help them write with them like he did in season 1-5. 6 was bullshit and more bullshit is coming. Special effects and action don't make up for a rushed product and mediocre writing.

What felt rushed to you? An entire season and change from the mention of Cersei's and Loras' trial to it actually happening? Two episodes of Jon laying around before being resurrected? Six seasons before Dany finally makes for Westeros? And what is this about two seasons' worth of flashbacks to Robert's Rebellion "like they do in the books"? I'll agree that some of the writing and scenes in season six where cheesey and not up to par with previous seasons. I also see your point about taking so long for winter to come only to have it for a small fraction of the overall show's runtime, but think of "winter is coming" as "our greatest adversary is coming". GOT has built up this massive ominous threat since the first episode, and now we get thirteen episodes of it in the end.
-
Aryas bullshit training was rushed. Everything going on with dany was rushed. All the greyjoy crap was half assed and rushed. Opting to deal with the river lands and the blackfishes rebellion was just a way to rush that shit out of the way. The only focused points in the season were Jon and Cersei. This season lacked character build up and more detailed plots.

1. Thank god they didn't do the Meereen stuff like they did in the book. George wrote himself into a corner and the pointless stuff of what happened in Dany's absence was boring filler.
2. They don't have time to do the Iron Island stuff as it was in the books. The Victarion stuff is great but they had to move it along. Though, I don't get why Asha Yara is a lesbian.
3. "The Door" was possibly the best episode they have done so far.
4. Rushing through the "Winter." I think D&D want a break but I don't think that they don't care. The actors are getting older and the opportunities for them will never be hotter. You can't take a 2 season backstory break and expect them or the audience to wait. I doubt that we will even seen TWOW this year. I doubt we'll see ADOS ever.

Game of Thrones Season 7: Official Trailer (HBO) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giYeaKsXnsI#)
-
We will finally feast our hungry little eyes on the Great War
-
This is pretty unrelated to actual Game of Thrones but since the new season hasn't started yet just deal with this post.
Anyway, I just got done watching that hbo movie 7 days in Hell and I hope after Game of Thrones is done for good that Kit Harington does more comedy shit. Movie is so stupid but hilarious at the same time
-
So, in anticipation to the coming season I'm trying to re-watch the previous six. I'm halfway through season two now, and can't help but wonder: How the fuck did Danaerys grow up on Essos and not learn absolutely fuck all about the culture of any of the areas of the continent? I don't know why I never thought of this.

I'm pretty sure she did learn quite a bit, but Essos is roughly the combined size of Europe + Asia; there's plenty to learn and more one could never pick up. She's also been on the run her whole life with her incestuous & insane older brother calling all the shots. Though stubborn, she's a fast learner i.e. Dothraki.
-
No one in Essos valued Danaerys at all. She wasn't considered a valid heir. Viserys was who the Targaryen loyalists supported and they saw Dany as a bargaining chip. The extent of anyone's plans for her were to sell her to the Dothraki so there wasn't much of a need to prepare her to rule.

This. And even more so in the books with the Young Griff story that the show is rightfully ignoring.

I'm just saying, to your points, as much as she moved around, and how fast she learns, you would have thought she wouldn't be completely ignorant to a lot of the things she encounters. It's not even close to being a deal breaker for me. It just made me think when I first realized it.

She wasn't free to do anything, though. She was Viserys' prisoner. She wasn't allowed to leave Illyrio's estate or any of that. She had her handmaidens to tend to her and that was that. She just had a really nice jail cell to sit and wait in until Viserys could cash her in. She was royal in blood and title and nothing else. In the books he locked her up and raped the shit out of her.
-
Nope. I'm not buying it. I think she was just a lazy bitch until Khal Drogo tongue punched her gnar button.
-
Khal Drogo didn't even know you could have sex any other way than doggystyle. There's no way that dude eats ass. I was skeptical about your plothole claim but your other hole claim is the nail in the coffin for me.

Who raped the shit out of her? Arguably Khal Drogo, but in the books (hereafter known as ITB) Viserys tried to take her maidenhead on her wedding night, but Illyrio had posted guards for just such an occasion. He did get gropey with her more than once tho.

Already read the general spoilers for the whole season, 9/10 out of which were already confirmed. If GRRM would finish the book, I would have a stronger resolve.

I only disagree with this cause Khal Moro's bloodriders bragged about taking Dany in the ass last season before presenting her to him. They may only know doggy, but they know all the ways of the doggy.

I do have a feeling like some dudes on here are looking at Dany's story as being a sequel to "Room".

I guess it makes sense that Bam would be a Greyjoy, "what is dead may never die." They even let him choose his own wardrobe!

For anyone keeping track, the living have zero giants and the WW have at least three.

I read somewhere that one of those giants was supposed to be Wun Wun but that would make no sense because he died south of wall and the undead haven't breached it yet.

Hectic for sure but that ratio is flipped on dragon status.
Mathematically speaking, something terrible and unforgivable will happen the penultimate episode of this season, and will define said season. Hear me out:
Penultimate episodes in odd-numbered seasons:
1-Ned beheaded
3-Red Wedding
5-Stannis burns Shireen alive
Even-numbered seasons, on the other hand, usually feature good endings to a bitchin' battle:
2-Stannis defeated at King's Landing
4-Night's Watch defends the Wall
6-Jon Snow retakes Winterfell
This fares well for a good ending to the show overall, with next season being the last, but we're in for some shit this season.

Don't read below if you don't want to be spoiled. For real, scroll past.
This is one of the last few unconfirmed spoilers from the leak last year. Everything else was pretty much confirmed, so this is most likely happening.
-
In the light of the whole season being "spoiled" basically, the last season seems to be heading to a single problem of supplying the human army with enough dragonglass from dragonstone and then having a 1-1 with the night walkers. Seems like the complexity of the show will be distilled into a single all or nothing battle in the future? If the ending is happy (it would be weird if it were not), what happens to the surviving families? do they celebrate independence day and everyone becomes BFFs?
I mean, I kinda wish that the spoilers for the season 7 finale are not real, since the power struggle between the families will take a backseat to those CGI zombies. Or maybe Cersei will hide enough wildfire through the whole continent and just blow it all up or maybe everyone will be like just fuck it, lets cross the sea and fahgettaboudit
-
Jamie will kill Cersei.

Jamie will kill Cersei.
I think he will and it will fulfill a certain prophecy

Episode was whatever for me. Obviously it's the first episode but I only have two major gripes with the episode. #1 is Arya and the opening. All of a sudden she's some mastered assasin? Give me a fucking break. What does she know magic now? Pretty sure I'm the book you could only become someone of the same size and what not. To me that whole scene was bogus and created just to please fans of the TV show only.
#2 no way in fuck would Dragonstone just be left absolutely fucking vacant. Shit is fucking prime real estate and every stronghold counts.
Also why did they make Euronav character the fucking Jack Sparrow of Westeros. Shit was cringe city.

The Lannisters just don't have that big of an army anymore. The Tyrell forces were the only reason they were really able to repel Stannis' attack on King's Landing to the effect that they did, and Cersei kind of soured that relationship. The Seven Kingdoms are probably more fractured now than they were when Aegon started his Conquest and he had MUCH less going for him than Dany currently does. She's sitting at the mouth of the Blackwater with 100k+ troops and three dragons. Cersei has 40k spread all over Westeros and after years and years of war, they're mostly malnourished teenaged farmers' sons. The scene with Ed Sheeran is a good example of who is currently fighting for the Lannister Army. To properly defend against Dany's invasion they would have had to have listened to Robert Baratheon, and he's been dead awhile.

No. It's cool the Freys are dead and everything, but the way it happened was super corny. I read these books long before the show and I think that's why I'm hard to please. I like the show but some of the divergent content is stuff I don't like.

I honestly didn't think it was awesome they way they were killed at all. Could of been killed off better. Go fucking wahhhh yourself bitch I'm allowed to have a fucking opinion. My opinion is it was lame as fuck. Scene was basically written and just appeasing to the Arya dick riders that never read the books.
-
Arya is one of my favorite characters in the books though too. I've read them all too, and who knows if this scene won't appear in Winds? If we ever get it. I feel like at a certain point I have to separate my idea of the books from the show. I still have faith though, that Martin will not follow the same path with the books as the show is taking, to a point. That is assuming that we get another book before that unhealthy bastard dies on us.
And Arya's line to Walder's wife was really satisfying for me too, considering she was just outside while her family was being murdered by those dicks.

That's all I gleaned from that. She killed an entire extended family in a matter of seconds. Who cares how it was done, she pulled it off. You want her to fight every Frey one on one? She's a young girl, trained in stealth, get over it.

She wasn't even fully fucking trained! Where'd she get all that poison? How did she all of a sudden learn how to become absolutely anyone? Shit was whack.

Suspension of disbelief.

100% with Level 60 Dwarf Paladin. That scene was corny as fuck and smacked of pure fan service. How did she pull pretending to be Frey? Can she change size and shape now? And I would like to have seen some build up and preparation for such a massive development in the show, but I can't really fault them for wanting an attention grabber for the cold open. It's always go big or go home with Game of Thrones and that's why we watch.

Fixed. Also, since you forgot, Arya was scoping out the Freys while she was disguised as the serving girl. Stooped Walder is almost the same size as Arya. She also may have learned how to concoct the poison that killed everyone. I didn't like the scene that much for similar reasons, but that's more a fault of lack of explanation of the magic behind her transformations/skillset than anything else. Assume Arya learned everything offscreen, and it becomes easier to absorb, accept, and hopefully be stoked on.

That scene with Arya will 100% not happen in winds. Arya is still in Bravos and they Freys are slowly getting picked off by Lady stoneheart, the Brothers, and houses that want revenge for the Starks. I feel like that scene was created for them to just get rid of the Freys in a quick way. I said it a page back but I think we're going to get more rushed material.

It was a quick way to prop Arya up as the ultimate secret badass killing machine so she won't seem absolutely useless when everybody meets up in Winterfell

I heard a theory that george rr martin has finished them but won't release them until they die, might not want to deal with getting shit on which will invariably happen no matter how good the books are.
Stoop for hating hipsters so much you definitely kinda sound like one. You're entitled to your opinion but that's how you sound saying "I read the books before the series came out" and complaining about a TV adaptation of a fantasy series not being realistic.

I'm starting to think GRRM is not concerned with finishing the series. It shouldn't take 7 years to write a book. He's already passed two deadlines and he just keeps pumping out other garbage that deals with westeros. At this point the dude should sit down with a bunch of writers who are faster and tell them how all of its supposed to go. Last book came out in 2011. How the fuck is Winds not done yet.

S7 E2 - Stormborn
Much better than last episode. Bryan Cogman redeems himself after not copy and pasting the Septon Meribald speech last season.
Meh:
- Emilia Clark is hit or miss
- I won't complain about seeing Nathalie Emmanuel in this scene but it had no payoff for me.
Yeah:
- Hot fuggin Pie!
- Nymeria. I sorta doubt that this will be the last of her.
- I'm one of the few Sand Snake defenders. Sad to see them go.
- At least we get a little Tyrion in this ep
- Jon continuing the Stark tradition of ruffing up Baelish. Excellent.
- Euron v. Yara. Exceeded my expectations. It looked pretty boring in the trailers. Euron channelling Victarion. I like that Theon is still broken.
-
Theon peacing the fuck out was so funny to me. I know it was supposed to show how powerful his trauma is and all that, but I saw a guy doing a Rodney Dangerfield "oh boy" collar pull and yoinking on out of there. So goddamn funny.
After Jon's visit they'll rename Dragonstone to Pound Town.
Arya was really rude to Hot Pie and I think she'll have to pay for that when, near the end of season 8, it's revealed that Hot Pie is the Lord of Light.

Euron was most likely tracking Yara, as he know she had aligned with Daenerys from his conversation with Cersei in 701. But yes, Varys plotted with Illyrio behind the Baratheon's/Lannister's backs for 15 years for Viserys to take the throne, stole away the night of Tywin's murder with the suspect on a whim to assist Daenerys' claim, only to turn on her because he really thinks a pyromaniac & pirate-maniac are a suitable combo to protect the realm.
tl;dr
No.

Cersei knew in episode 1 that Daenerys was allied with the Tyrells, Martells, Grejoys, and Tyrion. Jaime pointed out that they would land at Dragonstone. They then had a discussion with Euron, who is now or was already privy to this knowledge. The path from King's Landing to Dragonstone is an easy one. If they're not there, the easiest guess to take is that they headed south towards any of the rebelling strongholds. All one has to do is head south to find Yara's huge fleet. No one needed to snitch in order for this information to get out. But if you're questioning motives, let's break it down:
Illaria - Has been seeking revenge for Oberyn's murder and his family's murder for years from the Lannisters; has nothing to gain by allying with the Lannisters or Euron.
Olenna - Her entire family was murdered by Cersei.
Tyrion - LOL
Yara - Her uncle usurped the crown from her.
Greyworm - Daenerys freed him and he is one of the only characters who has a steadfast moral compass. He's never wavered in that.
Missendei - ^
Theon - Obviously no.
Varys - Though a tricky guy to pin down, I truly believe after 7 seasons that he wants the best for the realm as he's constantly stated. That is so very clearly not Euron & Cersei.
Let's extend this to Melisandre, just cause she's there creepin' - She is so woefully unconcerned by Cersei & Euron, other than she doesn't want them to interfere with the war to the north. Her snitching to Cersei does not help her cause.

I know Bran's been out north of the wall, kind of isolated, but what a fucking weirdo.

I had been thinking he had started to look like a member of a Libertines-esque band but now I see he's way more high-feedback shoegaze like MBV or JAMC.
-
I loved how quickly Sansa got to "well... good to see you Bran..."
-
That scene with Cersei in the dungeon with Illaria and her daughter stands out to me as one of the greatest scenes in the show. Its the only scene in the entire series where I was like "get it Cersei this bitch deserves it." And the despair and fear on the faces of the Martels is in my opinion some of the best facial expressions captured. I cant get that shit out of my head it was so fucking intense.
-
Tyrion had a great facial expression shot in the scene with Daenerys of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Protector of the Realm, Lady Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons and Jon Snow, King of the North

hahahaha
i think he's just been so changed by the whole seeing everything in the world at once as well as the past and future combined, that it's probly hard to relate to normal time-line people, I think he just wanted to show how sorry he was about how things went down with Sansa, but it came out super awkward cuz he's a bit distanced from a normal perspective

Pretty much everything about that episode was amazing.
Brienne: "Who taught you that?"

As much as people sort of hated on the Braavos storyline, at least it provided us with that little bit of snarky gold.

Wow 10x better in hd I watched the behind the scenes and it really is mind blowing how much work goes into making these battle scenes
Season 8 could not be here until 2019 and it makes sense with all the insane battles we will be having next season this shit takes a lot of time and a lot of people getting set on fire
Also bronn laughing at dickons name was hilarious

It's pretty fun not knowing what's to come.
Hawt take: GOT battle scenes are better than any (historical/fantasy) scenes in TV or Movies. Including LOTR.
-
Thanks everyone who saw the leaks for not spoiling. Overall, loved the episode.
That cave drawing stuff was so god damn corny though. Even knowing the book lore and assuming Jon & Daenerys' preexisting knowledge of the myths, it didn't come off as great storytelling. I think that mostly fell to the variance in the cave drawings--etched in spirals and symbols, to colored chalk that lasts thousands of years? hmm..

Yeah the cave drawing stuff was corny but they need to get other principle characters on the WW train and fast, and they need to put some fairytale romance into the Jon and Dany storyline so their impending engagement doesn't seem forced.

Fucking cave drawing shit was lame. Also Aryas storyline is way too much. She barely trained with syrio. She had basic half ass training with Jaqen. Now all of a sudden you expect us to believe she's a match for Brienne with that piece of shit needle? Especially brienne has been training her whole fucking life? GTFO. Her story arc show wise is nothing more than the show writers feeding the TV fan base Arya hype. Who do you guys think saved Jamie? I think it was Dickon.

It was Bronn. You may have forgotten, but Arya also trained all of her life between Winterfell (her marksmanship in the pilot episode shows this) and beyond. She practiced her water dance all through the Riverlands while she was with the Hound. She then continued training with staff (and more) under the Waif/No One for the better part of two seasons. Brienne used a blunted sword against Arya's castle-forged steel; the duel was like David & Goliath, or Oberyn & the Mountain. It was plenty believable for a show full of fantasy, the dichotomy of Brienne's size & slower movements to Arya's quicker slices with a smaller stature.
There's much we didn't see onscreen, like how the Dothraki made it from Dragonstone to Highgarden in the span of a few days without the bulk of the Greyjoy fleet [EDIT: Tyrion actually said they had enough ships to transport them, upon re-watch]. But alas, keep hate-watching Arya.

With only 7 episodes this season and the trend of episode 9 being either a tragic death or epic battle, we can assume episode 6 will involve a very tragic main character death.

I'm worried for Brienne--she's fulfilled her duty to bring the Stark girls home. Although I have a hope that everyone with a Valyrian steel sword will be the front line against the White Walkers, I'm not sure she'll make it. Speaking of Valyrian steel, I wish Brienne or someone else in Winterfell knew that her sword was once Ice, Ned Stark's sword.

Bran casually discarding his Valyrian steel knife felt like a fatal mistake since he's the primary gatekeeper to the Night King. I've been expecting The Wall to crumble this season or next.
But I know better than to make predictions. I just want Podrick to fuck Sansa.
-
So Arya replying to Brienne's question of who taught her, "No one," isn't corny, but the cave paintings tying together symbology laid out from the beginning of the series while simultaneously convincing a principle character of the existence of the primary threat of the series, is very corny. Got it.
I don't really care. I actually agree the cave painting thing was lame, but it was also intensely helpful for the advancement of the plot. I don't really care to watch Jon being unnecessarily cryptic about the things he's seen to people he needs to convince to be his allies any more. I just felt like the whole Arya vs. Brienne/two badass female warriors meet/David vs. Goliath thing, and Arya saying "no one" taught her was the epitome of corny. Like the definition of. But it was fan service and I appreciate that.
-
Do you guys think there are going to be any repercussions for Arya using the magic face stealing shit for her own purposes? Is the Many-Faced God going to get his?

No, I think they're done with that.

Littlefinger has that problem where he thinks he's so on top of his shit he doesn't notice when someone REALLY on top of their shit sneaks in under him. He gave Bran that dagger trying to butter up the new Lord of Winterfell and show that he has ALWAYS been a big Stark guy love the Starks want to fuck every generation of Stark. He didn't know Bran was an autistic Dr. Manhattan who knows all of his private conversations, that's why Littlefinger made that face like he was shitting his pants when Bran quoted him. Because he was shitting his pants.

So I've been really enjoying the current (and previous) seasons but I feel almost guilty about it because I feel like GRRM would have made us suffer more. Everything's turning up Milhouse these days.
Also, while there are still plenty of great exchanges it seems like there are more bits of super straightforward utilitarian dialogue that stick out.

Call me crazy but when I saw them get off the boat at Eastwatch, I knew that more than 30 seconds had transpired in-show.

Because the show needs a plot for another season. Just convince yourself that Dany showed up in a chaotic scene of 10,000+ undead - all which she's never fucking seen before - and her main priority was extracting Sir Friendzone and Jon. After the NK downed her dragon she was probably just too emotional and in shock to think strategically like "K now just go roast that dude over there". The things were her kids, she thought they were fucking invincible, and I bet ladies get emotional if they see their "child" killed directly in front of them.

I was rather impressed with episode six, to be honest. Sure, the whole situation with Jon not getting on the dragon sooner was a tad annoying, but it was a fantastic episode. It's a shame there's only one episode left in the season.

He had to show his aunt what a proper lad he is. Also Viserion's death was 100% Jon's fault because of that.

Everyone does realize Jon was preventing his ranging party, Dany, & Drogon from being overwhelmed by wights, right? Not to say the whole scenario wasn't skeptical with the timeframe and multiple deus ex machinas, but his decision in that moment to let the others safely board Drogon while he defended the high ground wasn't offensive to me from a tactical standpoint.
Either way, on to episode 7--I'm curious about the photos of Theon kneeling on Dragonstone & looking forlorn. He's seemingly coming back from somewhere looking defeated, which to me translates to: He came back from a failed meeting at King's Landing where Yara was probably murdered.
Also, since the episode is titled the Dragon & the Wolf, I'm hoping for a flashback to Lyanna & Rhaegar. We haven't had any flashbacks this season when the past two have.

i don't get when people have problems with movies when characters make bad decisions or different decisions than the view thinks they would. people do that a lot with the prometheus movies too. i seriously doubt if you went into a real combat zone that everyone would be making the best possible decision they could at all times. people would be doing all kinds of really stupid shit.
-
I'm just talking shit. I thought it was funny that up until they were like "Jon get on the dragon right now!" he was just standing around like "welp I guess we're fucked" but he got that second wind when it was the perfect time to go. I don't apply the pain in the ass "why did someone do this instead of this? Where did the WW get those chains?" way of thinking when the answer is always "because the story called for it"
-
night king made ice chains because he's a magic man.
-
they could have just had him fall off the dragon and survive, but nah
-
I still think he deserves to die but I want him to fuck Khaleesi before then. I don't care if they are related.

Am I wrong thinking that this is the slowest moving show in the history of television? I watched most of the first season then caught parts of episodes here and there, maybe one or two episodes a season and I still know everything that's going on.

A lot to unpack in this one. I'm not going to be the one to do it in type.

Why was that dragons wings tattered? That shit was dead like 5 mins. Also, what was it shooting to take the wall down? Extra cold shit that makes the rocks and ice explode?
-
It's what we call a fantasy show that has zero basis in reality. Just fucking enjoy watching destruction.
-
I like my fantasy to be rooted based on real life science ;)

Dragon physics is tyte. Or should I say Drogon physics.....

Also, 99% of the scientific community agrees that global wall warming is caused by dead dragons. FAKE NEWS!

If Valyrian steel can kill a white walker, it can make quick work of that piece of shit.

Not gonna lie, that was the most satisfying thing in the episode for me.
-
One of the most satisfying deaths of the series for me.
-
How was Littlefingers death satisfying? It was rushed and super anticlimactic for how much of a schemer he was. Also making Jon Aegon is so fucking half assed. This show has fucking sucked since GRRM stopped helping out in season 5. I'm glad he cleared it up that the books will be completely different. And what the fuck was the point of having Tyrion creeping all sad out side the door as the incest went down? Now all of a sudden he's in love with Dany? Made no sense to have him creeping sadly like that. Bran could see his sister get raped on her wedding night but couldn't see his aunt marry Rhaegar and needed Sam to tell him? Show is fucking ass now. Invested 7 years into it and it's become hot garbage.

Huge hand clap for Lena Headey/the writers. Cersei played Tyrion/me so well with that pregnancy fake-out. I thought it was obvious she reached for her stomach, but her reaction when Tyrion pointed it out to her made me believe it was a subconscious move on her part. I don't believe she's actually pregnant.
Also, did anyone else read the scene where Jaime left Cersei as her giving the command to the Mountain to take Jaime out? Cause that's what I thought was happening up until Jaime's under that dreary winter sky.
Jon & Theon's scene was so moving. Because Bran's personality died, Theon is really the closest thing to a brother Jon has. I'm happy Theon's standing up for what's right, but there's been too many fake-outs with deaths this season that I was looking forward to his arc ending. Btw, getting kneed is getting kneed, gonna hurt less with no junk, but it'll hurt nonetheless. That was corny.
Regarding undead Viserion - I think it was blue flame, obviously super powerful. He kept the flames up for so damn long. He's going to roast the shit out of the living before anyone can do a thing about it. Rhaegal & Drogon having a difficult time taking him out is an understatement.
Aegon - Why did Lyanna name him that when Rhaegar already had a son named Aegon? Unless that isn't fully confirmed in the show and just the books.
-

I thought the same thing about its wings, not only was it dead for no time but would having tattered wings not affect flying? And it's body also isn't bones like the rest of the white walkers, personally I think it would've been sicker if the body was all boned out with a half skull/half face type thing going on and just like regular thin wings.
Also, did anyone else read the scene where Jaime left Cersei as her giving the command to the Mountain to take Jaime out? Cause that's what I thought was happening up until Jaime's under that dreary winter sky.
I thought there would just be some plot twist where people think Terion/Jaime is just gonna talk to Cersei and that she was just bluffing (which she was) but that The Mountain would actually just smoke them, leaving the rest of the characters to figure it out.
-
Aegon - Why did Lyanna name him that when Rhaegar already had a son named Aegon? Unless that isn't fully confirmed in the show and just the books.
I thought the exact same thing.
Episode was amazing. My jaw dropped with the fake out "Lord Baelish" line. With his death, we can pretty much close out the Lannister vs Stark drama for now, and move on with the Great War.
Jon Snow true parentage scene was good. Liked the way that they presented it when we already knew.
Viserion destroying the wall has got to be one of my favorite scenes in the show. But seeing the Night King bobbing up and down on a dead dragon was kind of funny to me.
Did anyone else tense up during the meeting? Especially before the hound let the wight out of the box?
-
Littlefinger's death was great and very welcome.
Can't believe we actually saw Rhaegar. They are brothers but he looked a lot like Viserys.
Naming Jon 'Aegon' doesn't make a lot of sense at this point so that must be book canon.
Harsh of Rhaegar to peace-out his other son Aegon like that. Unless he knew, somehow, what would happen to him.
-
I'm not too bothered by the Aegon thing. Rhaegar was big on prophecy and had a life-long boner for Aegon the Conqueror. He wanted his Prince Who Was Promised to have a little flare to him. That's what I'm going with at least.

It's just blue fire. Viserion is NOT an ice dragon. He's just a reanimated dead dragon.

You guys saw the scenes where they both of them got naked this season, right? Stoopkid, I figured with all of your complaints about Viserion's fire being powder blue instead of cerulean blue or whatever that you wouldn't miss that detail. Or believe, in sincerity, that the choice to avoid nudity or use a body double is really representative of feminism.
Great episode. Kept it tense the whole way through.

It probably will eventually have some bone exposed. I watched some behind the scenes with the makeup and prosthetics guys and they were saying how deteriorated the undead were depended how long it had been since they were killed. Some look more fresh with more skin because they were killed more recently where as the ones with more bone exposed were killed longer ago. Thats why i thought it was silly when the dragon had holes in his wings because they did not apply the same logic. Not a biggie though.
-
Obviously the NK cut those in there for superior mid-air braking power and improved cornering. Duh.

I don't know man, I need my magical undead dragons to be as anatomically correct as possible.

Plowing through 100 feet of ice with your corpse after plummeting from the sky might poke a hole in your wing.

Their dicks and pussies are all internal because they're inter-sex so they're just jizzing into their own vaginas all day. Being a dragon sounds awesome.

All of the excess cum that doesn't go towards reproduction is what actually fuels dragon fire and makes it so hawt.

Same. But I liked seeing the reunions. It sunk in that a lot of these characters haven’t seen each other since episodes 1-3.

Jon and dany flying on the dragons takes the cake for the worst scene in the entire series. Shit was like a disney movie man da fukk were they thinkin

Like everyone else has said, this was a let down of an episode but clearly just getting the reunions out of the way.
Seeing Bran wait for Jamie was great though... interested in how that will play out.

Sam's doubts about how righteous Dany really is and how he pitches that to Jon made for a really great scene. Also, who knew what a great installation artists the Night King would turn out to be?

Bran most likely has the ability to warg anything he pleases, dragons included
After Sam's distrust of Daenerys--with his bias taken into account--there's a long history to indicate that Daenerys is going to end up an unsympathetic character. And possibly murdered by an ally. Or murder trustworthy allies and continue a bloody, unbalanced reign.

How fucking long was Bran waiting in the courtyard for Jaime? When is Arya just gunna admit she is a stone cold murderer? Where are the dragon dicks?

I loved the episode, although to be fair I'm a total GOT fanboy over here. This episode was setting up the chess board. It had a lot of great callbacks to the first episode and other moments from seasons 1-7. I re-watched the whole series over the course of the last year and half since season 7 and caught up right before the premier on Sunday. That might have made it more epic for me.
Predictions (OBV SPOILERS + SOME behind-the-scenes INFO VIA Entertainment Weekly but no Leaks) : Dany reluctantly bends the knee to Jon even though neither of them want that. That ensures a loyal following from all the northern lords. They "defeat" the army of the dead but in order to do so have to make a sacrifice: Jon sacrifices himself to save everyone by replacing the Night King (who cannot be defeated, only replaced, that's why they are obsessed with cyclical imagery). He goes up to The Lands of Always Winter for the next 10,000 years. Sad Dany and co. travel down to Kings Landing and fight Cercei the final boss. Dany has Jon's child and said child is the heir to the throne.
For the record I really hope I'm wrong. I would love for Dany and Jon to rule together but I'm not so sure that will happen.

Watching Arya fuck was a little weird. She’s still a little girl in my mind. Suckling the tit of a giant woman explains the ginger dudes obsession with that huge bitch. Good episode, I think the next 2 will be straight battle scenes, with a little Dinklage in the crypt. Did Sam’s hoe gain weight for the story or did she just let herself go between seasons? “A little Dinklage in the crypt” is how I’ll refer to getting some puss now.

I don't think they will avoid Cersei's storyline for 3 straight episodes (considering there was nothing on it in the latest episode). While it will be very very Winterfel focused for the next two considering almost everyone is there, they will show something about how Cersei is regaining land or territory.

-
My prediction was that Jon will find himself in the Godswood to protect Bran, and becomes surrounded by the dead. Dany, on dragon back, sees this and takes the opportunity to kill Jon with some friendly fire...but he emerges unburnt.
-
Everyone who got what they wanted in episode 2 is fuckin DEAD in the battle in episode 3. Greyworm made plans so he's dead, Brienne got knighted so she's dead, Theon redeemed himself so he's dead, Joreh didn't get Dany but he got a sword so he's dead, Edd reunited with his bros and isn't very important so he's dead. Pod dead Tormund dead maybe even Davos dead. Dead dead dead.
-
Pod can't die. He's got the biggest penis. He's automatically saved.
-
Tormund seems likely to die but I think the writers want to hold onto a wildling representative through til the end.
I really hope Davos, the Hound, and Varys make it; their storylines aren't done yet. Unless Varys has a meaningful conversation/revelation in the crypt.

night kings going straight past winterfell to kings landing
-
night kings going straight past winterfell to kings landing
This is my guess too. Bran’s visions have shown images of a dragon over King’s Landing and the throne room with no roof covered in snow.
Were this to happen, southerners most likely don’t realize that the Night King has Dany’s Dragon and this massacre would likely be blamed on her.
-
One of the first things Bran said this season was for everyone to shut the fuck up because the Night King has Viserion now immediately followed by a 15 minute magic carpet ride. I don't mean that means that the North knows he has her dragon, but they could play it either way. Nobody knows or everybody knows. It would be cool if he went and fucked up King's Landing though.
-

Arya Stark from way downtown.
Bang.

Surprised how many people liked this episode, i Thought it was all style and no substance, and really put an underwhelming end to a story arch that took up a 1/4th of the Series' runtime.
What were the Night Kings true motivations?
Why was he so obsessed over Bran
Whats up with the spiral symbolism shit?

I'm sure they'll explain more later... Especially with bran wargging the entire time.
Bummed to see everyone who died go.
Arya was unexpected, but expected once melisandre mentioned blue eyes..
Dany was fucking stupid and useless the entire time.
How the fuck are they gonna fight cersei with most of their army dead?

Thought it was epic. Where the fuck is Ghost and Drogon?

I mean, if NK is to die, it is going to feel ridicules in any shape and form, so this was a pretty epic way to do it. A true power-struggle is going to go on in the last three episodes. Kinda surprising that Dany gets a cheering ovation in the ep. 4 preview ... I'd be guessing that no one would be stoked to be going fighting some more after this.

OBVIOUSLY EP 3 SPOILERS
Ghost is dead as fuck probably. Ultimately murdered by the budget. Drogon plops down right next to Dany at the end. Stoked on Arya, definitely been my favorite character for most of the series or at least tied with Tormund. Are you thinking of Rhaegar(?) the dragon Jon was riding? He might’ve died on impact when they crashed. Whats the count looking like for this episode? I forgot some peoples names but I think its
Ghost
The Mormonts
Jons nightwatch buddy
Flaming sword eyepatch dude
Diet Khal Drogo
Theon
Melisandre
-
If they don't die on screen they don't die. Ghost is fine. Drogon showed up after Jorah died and wrapped himself around Dany so he's fine too. You can see Rhaegal in the promo for next week.
So with Arya being The One what is the purpose of Jon Snow? Why all the prophetic shit if he didn't do it?

He goes full-knight for numbers. We’re all left feeling sort of happy for him but also sad because he deserves better. In hindsight we all agree that the Starks should have fully put him on from the beginning but lets face it: They have a bad track record as far as decision making goes.
If Ghost isn’t dead I look forward to the 7 seconds of screen time he has left. Hopefully he’ll murder someone poetically after the Stark kids say a speech about how the lone wolf dies but the pack survives. It’d be great to see Cersei die that way after she condemned Lady (and Lemuria) to death for biting Joffrey.
Im really about Ghost dying because
1)No screentime/cut from cgi budget
2) Teeth/Claws are not on fire, dragon glass, or valerian steel.
3) Was not shown in slowmo trying to fend off white walkers.
-
Damn I enjoyed that. Most of the points have been covered , looking forward to Bran's explaination. Arya is bad ass, ending was great, liked how she saved the hound with that arrow also..
Still gutted the Book(s?) were not out first.

RIP Theon, you did good. You as well, Jorah.
What were the Night Kings true motivations?
Why was he so obsessed over Bran
Whats up with the spiral symbolism shit?
First two questions: Did you not watch episode 2? The Night King's motivation was to destroy mankind and all memory of them (Bran is the memory of mankind).
Third question: "As we saw with Bran and the Three-Eyed Raven, the spiral pattern was sacred to the Children of the Forest, who created the Night King by sacrificing a captured man in a spiral “henge of stones.” The Night King then adopted the symbol as a sort of blasphemy, like Satan with the upside-down cross."

I couldn't see shit. How did Arya just walk past a bunch of wights and jump the Night King? Sending in those Dothraki was fucking stupid strategy. You don't send troops into a meat grinder that can then immediately turn them into enemies. Should have been all traps and dragonglass arrows, but I see how that could be boring. I don't know if they're saving this for a later episode, but it looked they we blue balling us on finding out if Jon can be burned. At least that's what I got from the whole zombie dragon/Jon face off.

I couldn't see shit. How did Arya just walk past a bunch of wights and jump the Night King? Sending in those Dothraki was fucking stupid strategy.

When the first wight wakes up at castle black, Jon kills it by throwing a lantern at it and burning it. He burns his hand by doing so, and has to get it wrapped up. Idk if that's a loophole or canon.

They gave us a whole scene of Aria evading ghouls. I think it was implied that yup she's still good at stealth. I laughed when watching thinking oh it's the stealth section and then she throws the book for a misdirect and it was too good.

Surprised how many people liked this episode, i Thought it was all style and no substance, and really put an underwhelming end to a story arch that took up a 1/4th of the Series' runtime.
I enjoyed the episode, but for the arc of the series was disappointed by this outcome. The show has done an amazing job of working against fantasy stereotypes by making any hero of prophecy earn their merit or die in the process, by killing main characters and destroying notions of happy outcomes, etc. For the continued talk throughout the series that "this war of five kings means nothing" and whatnot, to destroy this enemy in one episode with most main characters and two dragons left alive for three more episodes feels like a phoned-in happy ending.
I also don't think we're ever going to get some sort of explanation as to who/what the lord of light is now that Melisandre is gone with three episodes left. If there's anything I hate about Lord of the Rings, it's that Gandalf comes along to perform some unexplained magic to save the day whenever there's trouble, which this show has done a good job of not falling into, or building up an explanation for where this evil magic comes from. Now this evil god who castrated Varys, assassinated Renly with a baby man ghost, and called for the sacrifice of the Baratheon girl comes along and helps the humans in battle for funsies.
-
You can bet your ass that this battle will be a lot more bitter in the books. There was plot armor everywhere. The worst moment for me was when Grey Worm had close the bridge on his soldiers.
-
Bran's pointless warging was a bit like "OK guy, I'm gonna head out and go watch TV for a bit. See you later!"
I thought the death toll of people I gave a shit about was going to be higher - maybe half of the secondary characters who featured in the previous episode. Basically it was just Jorah.
I think in the last 3 episodes Cersei will go down and Jon will gain the throne only to divide Westeros into separate kingdoms.

And how was Wildfire/fire in general not a more utilized tactic?
I know it's a fictional novel but I can't relax on this

this show has 100% gone down the shitter, i still watch it though
-
They say in "Game Revealed" for ep. 4 that then knew Arya is going to deliver the blow for 3 years now - as in GRRM did not tell them that, but they thought of it themselves. Leaves a lot of hope for a more realistic and more cruel story in the books.
Cinematically the show is really incredible, but the plot armor is being used heavily now.

No, that dragon is dead. Is there a red witch under the water? Any more Night King around to raise whoever died? No. People keep tossing shit theories into the air hoping it'll stick.
The point of talking about Jon coming back from the dead was a celebration of life after killing the Night King. It also juxtaposed Jon's natural acceptance as a leader to the Northern resistance of Danerys.

Leaks are online for the last three episodes and they are pretty fucked/lame, can't really see it as the bittersweet ending that was promised. The leaks were on point for ep. 4.
edit: someone on reddit labeled euron as the GOT Bam Margera and that is so fitting. Dude is causing mayor mud
-
If they don't die on screen they don't die. Ghost is fine. Drogon showed up after Jorah died and wrapped himself around Dany so he's fine too. You can see Rhaegal in the promo for next week.
So with Arya being The One what is the purpose of Jon Snow? Why all the prophetic shit if he didn't do it?
You were right... I swore that pooch was done for.

Yeah, the writing is no longer sowing seeds and layered dialogue to get us to a climax--it's just punching them down at us in the barest and/or most shocking way. Another issue is the amount of deux-ex machinas, especially in episode 3. Melisandre with the fire trench, Beric saving Arya multiple times, Arya killing the Night King at the buzzer. And the opposite of that with Rhaegal taking three impeccably placed bolts from nearly a mile out but then a dozen missing the biggest fucking dragon at point-blank? Come on.
Look, I just want him to have a friend since he sent his pupper north of the wall. He's gonna need a buddy.
A king has no friends. But I'm really upset with how they've push Ghost off to the side. I'm hoping that with Rhaegal's passing, Ghost makes a reappearance to be with & protect Jon.
-

Yep. Couldn't believe they fucking hit 3 out of their first 3 sneak attacking...from ships...against dragons who are flying around in the sky. And after they blow their wad into the sky while Dany was charging, they miss 100%, and Dany turns tail instead of just roasting them while they reload.
The main antagonist built up for 8 fucking seasons, hyped as the end of days, is written up as a plot device to just reduce Dany's army by half so that the battle with Cersei is even. This season is a joke.
-
I think its way more frustrating how much they're changing dany so drastically with like 3 eps to go, She has been this "just ruler" and now she's being a baby.
That said I think varis is dead cause Tyrion will decide to sell him out. Aaaaand Tyrion is the eventual ruler/winner or w/e.
And wildfire.

I agree and disagree with this. I agree that the psycho switch with this episode did flip too fast. But bear in mind, she’s been a cold-hearted conqueror since a few episodes in. She burned a woman alive for cursing her rapist horde-leading husband. She left a subject to starve to death in a vault in Qarth for a betrayal she was coerced into. She colonized multiple foreign societies to fight battles she never raised a sword in.
She’s whined and complained about not getting her due since just about day one. We, and the characters in the show, have justified her behavior as doing the ugly work that needs to be done to do the job, like her killing of Sam’s father and brother, but really, it’s arguably equally evil.
On one side of the story, she freed a city of slave soldiers. On the other side, she took a generation of slaves to fight a foreign war they had no business in, as anyone who might have purchased the slaves would have done as well. It’s all relative to the storytellers. On the one hand, Robert freed the country of a murderous tyrant. On the other, he falsified a story about his ex-girlfriend to start a war. On one hand, Aegon Targaryen united the seven kingdoms. On the other, he burned Harrenhal, a small King’s Landing of its own, to ashes.
Again, I agree this last switch felt fast, but there have been hints about it since the beginning.
I’m glad this season went there after the Knight King disappointment. It’s back on track for catching you off-guard and making the harder calls.

The main item that bothered me was the Jamie arc that took all of his character growth and threw it in the trash.
Also, I realized that it wasn't an Iron Throne covered in snow in her vision...it was covered in ash. I think.

i'm digging this season.
SPOILERS
i was hoping this season wouldn't wimp out and would still to the playbook which means character pivots, betrayals, likable characters dying ect... stylistically i'm digging the choices they are making. really enjoyed the blackout approach to the white walkers battle and i like that for kings landing they went with the angle of empathizing with the characters on the streets and the idea that the differences in the various groups really come out when they don't have their backs against the wall and instead are the aggressors. really liked the mountain fight sequence. probably only part i wouldn't have minded a bit more on was jamie and cersi's finale.
-
ep 5 was great, unlinke ep 4. can't wait to see how it all plays out in the final. can't believe I actually felt sorry for cersei in her final moments ... spoilers were spot on, but the director's delivery of the events was on point, so I enjoyed them much more than I could have predicted (that's why I still have hope for a good final episode)
-
My favorite episode of the season. Most character deaths in a single episode as well.
We all knew Dany was going to go her father's route, Clegane bowl was something we all wanted and got, Jamie vs Bam Margera was ????, Jamie dying in Cersei's arms was expected.
But what about Cersei's prophecy? She was to die at the hands of her younger brother?
Jon fucked up. Tyrion fucked up. Dany fucked up. Everyone be fucking up.
-
That shot of Hound on the stairs, looking up at The Mountain, with Drogon flying in the background was a piece of high fantasy artwork come to life.
-
I think Arya kills Danny in the finale. She didn’t get to kill Cersei and she witnessed the most carnage of anyone.

i'm not so sure they are going to wrap this up with a happy ending and that would be a pretty obvious way for this to play out. tyrion seems like a candidate, following his brother's footsteps as king slayer.

Man the writing on this show went so far down the shitter its insulting. Euron shot rhaegar 3 times in a row with the giant crossbow,now your telling me a entire fuckin army cant hit dany once?

to me she got the crossbows by being clever. they surprised here the first time but she suprsed them the second and was smart. attack the ships in their sun-blind spot, from above, (euron was holding up his hand to block the sun, i was an obvious cue from the writers) then fly straight up to thwart the crossbows on the harbor wall, and then attack the giant crossbows on the gate wall from behind.
Euron just happend to wash right up on time to dual jamie.
that was pretty weak. i think they ran out of time and wanted to have a scene where he rubbed it in jamies face that he had got some snuggle time with cersi. i'm assuming the writers would say they were both making their way to cersi and that's how they ran into each other but still kind of weak.
-
The siege army seemed a little to large IMO. They filmed the last battle of Winterfell as if only a few survived.
The Mountain’s look was very disappointing. Dude looked like a giant baby/character from 300.

We've started re-watching season 1...goddamn this show was so good. Such a big world and even though I am trying to just enjoy the ride, I can acknowledge that they blew it.

Pretty sure she did die in the hands of her younger brother, Cersei was born first. But like someone mentioned above they did sort of abandon jamie’s Whole arc seemingly to make that happen. Or his arc was kind of a fake out and when it came down to it he knew he’d choose Cersei and maybe finally sleeping with Brienne made him realize that. And I’m sure the baby thing didn’t hurt.
And in regards to her avoiding the scorpions like someone said a couple posts ago she used the sun to her advantage and also I think they’re trying to imply with her riding it she can control and dodge better than a dragon sans rider.
-
I don't know about all that.
-
An ending that leaves no one satisfied but overall in a better place is undoubtedly a monstrous task. Mis-paced and incoherent earlier episodes of this season accounted for, I think the finale justified the story.
Jon ended up serving the people he saved and loved him.
Sansa ended up leading the North.
Arya continued her rebellious streak.
Daenerys wasn't "mad" the way her father was, but woefully misguided by delusions of grandeur.
Varys to Tyrion in season 2, "The history books won't remember you for saving this city, but I will." Awesome.
-
A satisfying ending for the starks but the Jon, Dany and Drogon scene is terrible.
-
I would have blamed all that shit on Drogon. He took the body and everything.
-
Reading the leaks, I was really disappointed, but in the end this was the best ending you could expect from GRRM. Last episode I felt bad for Cersei and now I feel bad for Daenerys, never really cared for Sansa. I hope Jon and Arya's endings will be explained in more detail in the books.
I find the bits of humor that were sprinkled in were a bit much, not in line with the seriousness of a final.
-
I'm not upset by the ending, just disappointed by the shitty execution of these last couple seasons. It went from being the best show on TV to a bunch of people convincing themselves it was the right way to end, they suppose.
Some plot bits they never properly returned to:
Podrick's magic dick - I hoped Sansa would get some sweet Pod dick after a terrible sexual history. Instead he became a non-notable member of the King's Guard.
The Lord of Light and what Varys heard when he was castrated - These creeps and their god worked the characters behind the scenes like an illuminati of wizards building to a whole new enemy beyond the main story and then they just went away. That scene in Meereen where the priestess taunts Varys about what he heard in the flames when he was castrated served no purpose. Their alliance to Dany served no real purpose. That weird lady in Qarth who talked to Jorah served no real purpose.
The Warlocks - Made a notable assassination attempt on Dany in season three with implications there would be more. There weren't. Not that important, but the show was great at not abandoning plot lines until this season.
-
everyone was shitting on the writing this whole season
i said i'd wait till the end
here it is
here i am
fuck, that sucked

i enjoyed it. i think i they had more runway in the budget they could have done some more interesting things with danny's downfall but i rewatched most episodes in this season multiple times and enjoyed it more than a lot of other recent seasons. really glad they downplayed tully's character. hated the whole story with him and his girl. we rewatched the whole thing this year and fast forwarded all those bits.
seems like they are setting up an arya spin off
-
I would have blamed all that shit on Drogon. He took the body and everything.
https://youtu.be/NBh895KdXAU
And wasnt Arya supposed to have caught another body, one with green eyes?
-
I'm just so thankful to have been able to enjoy this incredible saga. GRRM's story is just so amazing and of course all the people who worked on the show did a great job. This last season in particular was rushed and the writing suffered for sure. However I am still happy with GOT overall. I hope GRRM is able to see his next two ASOIAF books published in his lifetime.
-
Final season was rushed, but overall not understanding all the hate for it.
Glad they ended it the way they did...except for some questions but whatever

Note: Arya died on the way west of Westeros

you nailed it man. i think a lot of viewers formed false narratives and forgot about development that occurred earlier in the series
i do agree danys transition may have seemed a little rushed but it doesn't necessarily need to be drawn out too much. all it takes to drive a person over the edge is a single moment. and if you think about it.. there's already is a steady narrative of her world kind of crumbling apart since season one.
the death of Viserys, losing her husband and child, banishing jorah, losing ser selmy, having to leave daario behind, losing viserion, losing jorah again, losing missandei.
then finally the threat of her lovers stronger claim to her birthright
combine that with her impulsiveness/lack of empathy and I think you have a pretty consistent build up to a breaking point.
sure there is still plenty to criticize but overall i think the story was lead to it's natural conclusion.

Don't read the books then. It's pretty realistic in how slowly shit would really happen if the fastest mode of travel is horse. The new show house of the dragon is actually pretty fast each episode has pretty big time jumps but it's also much smaller in scale (at least so far) only really like a dozen characters.

Game of thrones basically was fucked with characters, compared to the books it's seriously about 8%. It felt like they just kept the absolute minimum for stuff to still make sense and even then it failed at times.
As far as dragon size think that's part of the lore. The dragons getting smaller (and even extinct for a period) between this and the start of g.o.t. Daenerys dragons were also only a couple years old by the end of g.o.t. so maybe they keep getting bigger for however long they live

I vaguely remember the scene from GOT where they explain this, may have been Varys saying that by the time they went extinct, dragons were the size of cats. Haven't started the new show yet, but looking forward to it.

house of dragons is so good... we are also watching LOTR and it really shows how important getting the characters, dialog, costumes, sets right is. after first few LOTRs which were pretty awesome it feels like it's digressed into a star trek vibe while HOD is super gritty. with LOTR i'm constantly thinking, "i wish some action would happen" but HOD has very little action but is super exciting and interesting for us to watch.

SPOILER WARNING: yeah I'm enjoying house of the dragon well enough altho nowhere near how much I liked the first 3 seasons of got. Found the actor changes in ep 6 pretty jarring tho. I'm not a super stickler or anything so I can just go along with it but it's strange they replaced like 4 actors but kept like 12 others some of which barely looking any different.
Rhaenyra being the weirdest as it's the main character but the new actor doesn't look or even sound anything like the younger one. If they jumped 25+ years into the future sure but I don't think people change that drastically between 20s and 30s for it to of really been worth changing up the cast.

George RR Martin is the horniest dude to ever be given a tv show.

I feel the same way. It was really jarring how they changed up the actors but Sir Kristan didn’t age at all just got a haircut. The fight at the wedding was insanely odd. That seemed forced and it’s weird there were no repercussions for it?

I guess he was going to kill himself until queen alicent stepped in. I did think it felt like there was a scene missing or something tho right before the fight broke out. Laenors boyfriend tell him he knows he fucked the queen then he waits a bit and caves his head in. Seems like there should of been at least a two second shot of him considering his options or show his anger building thruout the night etc or should of just attacked him immediately instead there was just a weird bit of time then an attack. Maybe that's more like the book or something. Noone of the main cast saw it so nobody knows what really happened. You'd also think laenor would be more pissed at him but I guess it's ten years later and he's a pompous dork with a new boyfriend.

i think they were trying to bait you into thinking that something happened with dameon and princess. if you watch inside the episode you can tell they were wanting to do a red wedding type thing but throw a curve ball.

Well that's done for season 1 of house of the dragon. Quickest review: yeah alright, overall pretty satisfactory. Few dud bits but overall can't complain too much.

the books are infinitely better than both shows

Yes and no. The books are never getting finished either way.

I liked season 1 of HoD. As for GoT, I had watched season 1 and 2 (I believe) and then read all books. I thought the series was a very good adaption of the books. Of course a movie/series cannot translate a book 1:1 but they did a good job. The problems began when the series overtook the books and the showrunners had to invent the rest of the saga themselves. I still liked the GoT finale. Not sure I would read Winds of Winter now, assuming it will ever be finished.

Dam you gotta be one of the lucky few. Im a reasonably big GoT nerd and watched every ep maybe 25 times each but the last season I maybe watched some eps 2 or 3 times and the last ep only once and was already over it as it was playing lol. I think the trouble started a little earlier there's so much book they left out and it kinda blocked certain storylines from happening but they still did mostly pretty good for a while. I feel like after red wedding it went from a popular genre show to just every fucking human watched it so certain things changed because it was so popular.

I know I am a minority but I am not a real nerd so the inconsistencies didn‘t bother me that much. I just thought it was entertaining to watch. I don‘t watch a lot of series so I am not competent to make any critical assessment. But I think you have a point that after the red wedding the overall vibe changed.

Speaking of the books, this motherfucker is only 3/4 of the way through The Winds of Winter. We will not see A Dream of Spring before he dies.

I think it's like partially written by other people anyway like he knows what he wants to happen and they check all the continuity, fill in details etc. I'm hoping he at least has a rough draft down that outlines how everything's supposed to go and while not being full George rr Martin's writing others can fill it all in so it's at least close enough.
-
That's how the reference books get done, but the novels he writes himself.
-
Fortunately haven’t read the books so don’t have to worry about that shitting on enjoying these shows. Kind of feel like people who like reading books like it way better than watching shows.

I think it's the case with everything tho. This time tho I just happen to be someone who read the books lol. The shows good, Really good until the last season where they kinda fell a part (but that's not saying anything new) the "problem" is it's soooo different. Like not just a few characters like the entire point of the story basically isn't even in the show. It's kind of a miracle they made a show at all because George RR Martin's whole thing was he wanted to create something that pretty much couldn't be adapted to tv or movie

How did he write it so that couldn’t happen?

You would need a cast of hundreds of actors, thousands of hours run time, and billions just in CGI then all the costumes, sets, stunts etc.
Like in the show every now and then someone will briefly talk about religion or an event in history but it's mostly meaningless/just Easter eggy but in the book it's just as important as the "main" story. Basically it's just huge in scale and also super intricate with all the details. The families/politics that are the whole point of the show are just one layer of the onion

Plugging away at house of dragon, on episode 5-6, I actually like how things are playing out politically, pacing is good. Only complaint is the 10yr skip in age, my guess is to highlight how they live in peaceful times

I've successfully convinced my GF to watch game of thrones. She is liking it through the first 15 episodes but I'm wondering if I have made a mistake. Would you recommend the show to people? Like a "its not the destination, its the journey" type thing.

The first couple years it was out I'd only recommend it to like my dad and cousins and nerdier types of people. If I was on a worksite or at skatepark whatever and someone asked if I watched whatever and I said no i watched game of Thrones either they're straight up be fuck that shit or have no idea what it was and when I explained they'd then be like fuck that shit.
But then by season 4 it was the most popular show on the planet so it must be able to work for regular people they just needed a bit of a nudge. I'd say of you're already 15 eps in you must like it enough to at least sit thru it. There's no rule you have to watch it all you can just stop when you get over it.
