Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 415

If they go for taking her by force I’m positive she would just go out chugging wine and saying pithy stuff.

But they BETTER do it right and have her think she has won or something and then let Jaime do it. Her whole story has been about family and more specifically how wrong her own view of herself and her family is (just like Tywin), so having her take him for granted only to be killed would be really poetic and super heartbreaking. Plus they’re so good together we just need more scenes of them acting as a pair.

 

Cinematic shots like that though are confusing. As it cuts away, while he walks up/stares at Bran, it’s showing you what is going on simultaneously with everyone else in the most dire moment of the battle. It’s partially slowed down as well at times, so counting the actual real-time for the scene would likely be inaccurate. Without the suspense build up, the scene would probably be 30 seconds long after Theon died.

 

I'm still working on one watch (and 5 hours of sleep...couldn't fall asleep and then had dreams lol) but from what I remember none of the White Walkers actually rolled up to Winterfell until the last few minutes when the Night King was making his way towards Bran. And they all just rolled in together with the Night King.

Having them cut through a few red shirts on their way through the castle to the Godswood would have been pretty awesome IMO

 

Weird, I wonder where they were for the rest of it. Weren’t they at the front of the army at the end of last week? Or was that just perspective and they were farther away?

 

I’ve come around to like it more after letting it sit for a bit, but I still feel like the final battle being against Cersei is strange. Wasn’t the whole point that the “game of thrones” that they were all playing for most of the show was small potatoes to the grand scheme of the second coming of winter or whatever? And now that’s what it all comes down to in the end. Or maybe they still come to that conclusion once Cersei is beat anyway. We’ll see.

 

Also the Night King pretty much thinks he's got things sealed up at this point. I think he was taking an extra second or two to take in Bran and realize he was finally going to accomplish his goal of wiping out the Three Eyed Raven, since Bran hadn't passed his powers on to anyone else.


(.......Or, did he? Literally haven't thought about this until just this second, but he does say to Theon that he's leaving now, and then wargs for an exceptionally long amount of time without seemingly accomplishing anything....is it possible he transferred off his 3ER abilities to make sure they stayed alive even if he died?)

 

Hard for my eyes not to see brown and black forces take a majority of casualties in really bad military strategies.

Sorry Unsullied and Dothraki. You followed the white savior lady to Winterfell to die for a buncha white folks.

 

They were at the front at the end of Ep 2, but presumably they just sent the Wights in on the charge while they hung back. We really only see them once before they roll into Winterfell, and it's when they're all still sitting on their horses at the edge of the treeline when Jon attempts to take a run at them with Rhaegal.

 

The White Walkers were all on horses at the tree line in the beginning of the battle. As Jon went to blast them they brought the blizzard wall down on him.

Once the NK raised the dead on the battlefield, those White Walkers were shown walking into the gates of Winterfell, and shortly later, walking behind the Night King.

I’m pretty sure Gilly knows about all there is to know regarding them because of Sam and also having seen one try to kill her.

 

I'm also hoping they explain where he went when he warged, but I could see them completely ignoring it.

After last night, I'm very curious to see how Martin handles the end of the story (assuming he gets to that point). He's mentioned that the ultimate ending of the show will be somewhat similar to the books, but maybe he just means the final conflict between Cersei and everyone else.

 

(That really upset me as well but sshhhhh I’m banned from criticism.)

I hope someone gets to talk about their sacrifice from a human perspective and not just in relation to Dany, but I don’t know if they’ll go that direction. She won’t care except for what it means for her army, and Jorah dying is the only thing that made her emotional. At least Grey Worm made it to hopefully be some kind of voice.

 

I really hope all the Bran/raven/NK stuff isn't something they just explain in books or spinoff prequels or whatever. That would feel like bullshit to me.

 

I love comment sections

 

I’ve always had trouble deciphering the three dragons apart based on their colors, but when (I think Drogon) was overrun by wights and took off that I thought he had died. When the undead Dragon landed on the castle and starting destroying it, I thought that was him showing up and that the Undead one had died when Dany attacked and knocked the Night King to the ground.

But on a re-watch it’s clearly the same dragon with its face half gone staring at Jon.

 

I honestly wanted the show to end with the white walkers winning and every other insignificant silly human to be destroyed. Fuck their politics; none of their bullshit matters anyway - especially now.

 

I'm totally fine with no other White Walkers being killed during the battle. Could have been cool to see one or two of them in the fray, but there really was zero need for them to be there. Their army of wights was so large they were completely overwhelming the forces at Winterfell. I mean, the battle was lost until Arya took out the Night King, and that was their entire plan from the start. Try to tempt the Night King out into the open with Bran so someone could shoot their shot.

 

Oh I just mean about them being her brothers. I truly can’t remember if they knew the sacrifices became walkers or not. Been so long since I watched the part with her terrible father.

 

“We were attacked by two walkers! One was a little guy, sorta funny lookin’.”

 

I remember people saying that Massie Williams should play Ellie in a "The Last of Us" movie so thats immediately where my mind went during the library scene.

 

I also made the rookie mistake of assuming Viserion had died once Drogon damn near ripped his head off. When the dragon landed and was splitting blue fire all over the place my heart sunk because I thought the same thing you did: Drogon had died trying to get all those wights off of him. But once I saw the blue fire leaking from the neck and the eye and etc. I realized that it was the injuries Drogon had given Viserion when they fought.

It took me like 10 seconds though, and I was so mad at myself for not realizing that Viserion hadn't been burned, stabbed by dragonglass, or valyrian steel, so of course he didn't actually "die".

 

@EASheartsVinyl No one is banned from criticism, and that was never my intention to make you feel that way. I apologize, I just felt like I’ve been watching you club a dead horse for weeks now.

 

Just remembered my favorite scene was when Sansa and Tyrion were hiding in the crypt and they held hands and he kissed hers. Very nice moment.

 

Lmao. One step forward, two steps back.

 

I didn’t get my Goblet of Fire dragon duel and I’m mad. So many HP influences but not that one! I think the scene with Jon towards the end hiding was the closest, with blue flames at the top and regular at the bottom of the frame.

Also I’m really sad that we won’t see that blue fire in general anymore. It’s so pretty. I really wanted to see it against some wildfire, the other prettiest thing they do.

 

Yeah that was the absolute most human moment of the episode for me (in the crypt), next to Greyworm’s anxiety at the gates. They both had a moment of acceptance that their politics and abilities were useless, and they’d be the last people they’d both see alive. Peter Dinklage being able to say so much with a look is really something.
