I still swear fewer people will die than everyone thinks. Six characters just can’t carry the rest of the season.
I really think we get maybe 2-3 b level character deaths like a Tormund, Podrick level. I really don’t think we see Jon, Dany, Tyrion, Jamie, Arya, or Sansa dying tonight.
I’d put money on Theon, Tormund, and Gendry all dying in battle. Davos making a sacrificial decision of some sort also seems probable and will gut me. Maybe deaths for me are Sam, Jorah, and Greyworm. I know Sam probably makes at least one person shake their head but it’s the least guessed and he’s also gotten lucky with them too many times.
This can’t / won’t be 90 minutes of Winterfell battle, right? I imagine there will be cuts to King’s Landing / Iron Islands to break up the battle scenes and serve as a breather, right?
Don’t think so. Maybe a few minutes at most, but they’ve been hyping it up as the longest battle sequence literally in the history of film, so it has to be loooooong.
This episode was hyped up by everyone to be nothing but action and the directors said it's the "longest battle sequence" in TV history, surpassing the length of the Battle of Helms Deep in LOTR Helms Deep lasted 40 minutes on screen. The battle in this weeks episode is supposed to take up a majority of the 80 minutes.
Well damn, thank goodness for the pause feature. Gonna eat before the episode so I can keep my eyes on the screen full time.
Honestly I’m exhausted just thinking about it. They do the battle scenes well from a filmmaking standpoint but I could not care less, so I would be shocked if this episode does anything for me personally.
Yeah I’m getting dinner now to plan to be glued to my couch from 9-10:15. Longest cinematic battle in history means it should be, at least for what I can think of, 45-50 minutes. Maybe some ending scenes elsewhere I’d guess as a surprise.
lol I had to google the first movie and I see the two characters I know for sure are in this show from that one, one is already dead and the other is down in Oldtown. As for Four Weddings...Yes. This season, he's been "Guy who keeps getting interrupted while trying to talk to Sansa and gives curt, annoyed bows to the lords/queens that do it before walking out" lol
I knew there was crossover of both but I for sure forgot which one he was. My boy Jim Broadbent is still kicking though! And that fits in with my idea of him. In Four Weddings he played “drunk dude who thinks he made a great impression but so didn’t and is immediately forgotten” incredibly well.
lol He's definitely another example of a character who has suffered from book to screen. Not that he was some amazing character in the books but like other stories, I wish his/Sansa's time in the Vale was fleshed out more like in the books.
Eh I’ve been traveling since 5:30 this morning, plane got delayed 4 hours, and only 6 hours of sleep. Any other circumstance I would go to the show but I’m physically drained. Haha
