Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 372

And I should say, if this wasn’t the ludicrous speed timeline I could totally be ok with Arya rediscovering herself as just a person and not a Sweeney Todd Terminator with a list that won’t bring her any peace, and Gendry is a totally good way to help with that. But the way she has been written and shown for the whole series makes it very whiplashy just to get to the end for her story without the actual road to get there.

 

Thanks to the internet I learned that Florence + The Machine did the jenny song in the credits.

They’re (hbo, not Florence) doing an album of songs inspired by GOT, but I’d be more into an album of songs from the books. I’m sure GRRM has more lyrics to some of the songs he’s mentioned in the books.

 

I think it was surprise and hurt that that’s where her mind went first and that she obviously doesn’t know him as well as he thinks she does. The dawning realization seemed much more of an, “Uh oh, this isn’t twu wuv, this chick just really wants that chair.”

 

I think it was more “holy shit” than disgust. It looked to me like “what the hell are you talking about? Are you really worried about that right now?” More than anything else.

Interesting how people can perceive a look differently so we’ll see what comes of it.

 

Did y’all know the crypts are safe?

 

If you think Jon gives half a shit about wanting to be king then I really have to wonder if you’ve watched this show at all lol

 

Tormund’s giant story explains why he has such a hard on for Brienne

 

This episode was all about the forge, and that was still the biggest hammer. Like come on now.

Also why does the dragonglass look like that in weapon form? Just rule of cool, right?

 

Someone needs to make a Grandma’s Boy/Tormund mashup immediately. Except instead of 13 hours it’s 3 months.

 

until the night king raises the dead in there.. lol

 

I don’t think he wants to be king, but I do think it’s possible that actually coming to terms with the fact that he IS the one true king and a threat to Dany’s rule might have been slapping him in the face at that moment. I tend to lean towards he was more surprised/disgusted with Dany for thinking that way/thinking he’d want it....but just throwing some discussion out there.

I know Sam told him last week, but I’m willing to believe that he was too busy processing the fact that Ned wasn’t his dad, and Lyanna was his mom, to even really register the heir to the throne part.

Kits face tonight looking at Lyanna’s statue was tough. He was doing a decent job selling that this was a young man who never knew who his mom was, was probably
hoping she was still out there somewhere, and was just told last night his mom’s identity and fate.

 

I think a young person wanting to have sex before they die is pretty reasonable.

Besides, did you see that sweat heading down Gendry’s chest in the Forge even though it was cold enough to see his breath when he talked? Who could resist

 

They need to give him his hair back. This buzzed look is cruel.

Wait I just remembered he still hasn’t met Gilly. Now he really has to live.

 

Three all-timer Brienne-Jaime moments tonight

 

The fact that there’s only very few characters (if any, depending on how you look at it) that are “safe” for next week is nuts.

It’s just gonna be 80 minutes of sadness.

 

The dialogue writing has fallen off a cliff and still hasn't hit the bottom

 

The episode being named for her is super interesting. Does the name hint at something else as well?

Those fire scenes were too good. I still expect Jaime to have something to do in the endgame proper, but I have no idea about the rest of them. Her being knighted is an absolute culmination, but of course others have had those moments where death seems poised because of an arc ending and they still don’t die...

Now we’re finally getting to the question that we’ve been discussing of what kinds of characters they’ll be massacring and who will be allowed to make it to the end. They foreshadowed I think literally everyone through one trope or another, so it’s anyone’s guess what is real and what is teasing for the audience.

 

Man, that was a beautiful episode. Of course, my immediate reaction at seeing the credits was "what??? that's all??" But there were so many touching moments. Brienne getting knighted by Jaime is the mist poetic wonderful thing ever.

Now I have to prepare myself to watch many of those characters die

 

Book readers have a theory that Brienne is descended from, somewhere in her family tree, Ser Duncan the Tall, and the Dunk & Egg short stories were recently released all together in a short book titled “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”....so could just be a nod to book readers/that theory, or could be confirming it on the dl

 

The Scream rules are in full effect and this scene has never been more appropriate.

 

Lmao....

Beeehiiiind yooooou

 

Does her being related to him have any bearing on the show or is it just book lore either way?
