Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 418

My Ayra reaction was literally me shifting up in my chair and saying "AHHH--UGH!"...First it was excitement and then the ugh was me grunting because I thought the NK had stabbed her when he caught her.

 

Idk what we got left in these episodes, we need one solely dedicated to the Clegane Bowl

 

Hound vs. Mountain is going to be awesome.

 

That video where Gwendoline seemed to accidentally confirm Brienne lives is seeming more and more believable now.

 

Honestly I don't want Brienne to die, because she's awesome, so I would be fine with this. I just expected her to die last night.

 

When she jumped in I honestly thought she was going to die there. Like when I initially saw her I went from "OH SHIITTTTT" to instantly "OH FUCK WHY DID YOU ATTEMPT THAT" to "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD".

I thought Bran was going to pull some 3ER magic and that he had a plan, but nope, the plan was literally lure him to me and hope someone attacks.

 

I literally shouted “Last of Us!” during that scene. Heavy video game vibes in the best way. Thought it was one of the best scenes of the episode.

 

Do we think Melisandre’s brief journey back to Essos will effect the remaining three episodes? Like are there now more red priests and priestesses hidden in the Golden Company or something?

 

I'm cool with an 80 minute episode of The Mountain and the Hound hacking at each other.

 

I don't think that was Wun Wun who attacked her. Just another giant from across the wall. I would imagine he received a burial or pyre after the battle of the bastards.

Though still, fuck Ramsay Bolton.

 

I really can't figure out what is going to make up the final three episodes. I'm also very surprised that the WW / NK were finished off here when they have literally been the threat from the first scene of the first episode ever.

 

the next episode is just going to be them burying all of the corpses.

 

Things I feel we can definitely count on now in the final episodes.

-Jaime killing Cersei
-Clegane Bowl
-Another dragon death
-Yara killing her uncle

 

i still think Cersei should be on the throne to end the whole thing

 

I have issues with this show’s writing and don’t think it’s immune from criticism but... that’s not how budgets and writing work

 

I think I saw someone else mention it as well but the whole Clegane Bowl thing is just not on my radar at all. I like The Hound as a character, but I feel like I have zero interest in them having a showdown. Idk, maybe I just don't get it.

 

I do appreciate that this episode did make characters who appeared impervious to fear or struggle previously, actually show how scared they were (i.e. Hound/Greyworm).

 

The Mountain made the The Hound who he is. He will 100% want to kill him if he sees him in battle and that's how I see it happening, they just meet on the battleground.

 

Oh, I get why they'll end up fighting, I just don't feel very interested in it and nearly everyone else is super pumped.

 

If they don't have the CleganeBowl in an actual stadium (like the Dragon Pit), sell tickets and snacks, and have Qyburn and Arya as their cornermen, it will have been a waste.

 

Oh shit, I just thought about Edd dying. Do we someone new appointed to Lord Commander of the Night's Watch next episode? Sam?????

 

Oh, I thought it was clear that he was missing an eye perfectly to match Wun Wun. I’ll need to investigate that.

 

Nah but CleganeBowl could be something like they capture Cersei, she demands trial by combat and picks the Mountain, and the Hound volunteers to fight against him. Boom.

 

Without the army of the dead (and with presumed peace among the free folk and Westerosi) is there any reason for the Night's Watch anymore?

 

I don't think it will, if only because there are so few episodes left. I'd been expecting her to ride in during the final final battle, perhaps leading an army of red priests and priestesses.

I'm also surprised they're completely gone, though it also sort of falls in line with the spirit of the show. It's always been more grounded in "reality" than not, with most of the characters never having seen or believing in any sort of magic or otherworldly beings. It seems somewhat fitting that the final conflict will largely just be a bunch people fighting other people. Well, and a couple of dragons. I doubt Bran will make the trip to King's Landing.
