Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 612

One of my favorite things is the internet saying shit like "with the starbucks cup you'd think they'd have learned" as if they didnt film this a year ago

 

I’m honestly kind of shocked that they didn’t force some underpaid kid to go through every single scene with a fine-tooth comb after that mess.

I still want to know if that second bottle by Gendry was legit.

 

Any insight into whether they had Jon not pet Ghost on purpose knowing people would go crazy only to come around at the end and make it a point for Jon to pet Ghost when he's frowning and ignoring everyone else? If so, A+ trolling.

 

I can't take the tweets seriously about how it's still all dudes ruling or that it should have been a democracy seriously like that would have at all been fitting for the story's "time" - predicting those reactions is partly why the democracy scene was p funny.

 

The story's time? Its a fictional world and time though...

 

hence the time in quotes.

 

Brienne is on the Small Council and Sansa rules as Queen in the North. Arya's running her own sailing expedition. I don't think the women got ignored or kept from power

 

It was 100% just lazy storytelling — writing that whole scene in 804 as a clean send-off to Sam/Gilly/Tormund/Ghost, just to be like “yeah uh actually not really never mind” lol

 

Speaking of Sam, they just didn’t even bother with him lol. It would make sense for him to go back home or be Grand Maester if the Night’s Watch was abolished like it should have been, but he never actually quit them like Jon did

 

Sam being in that position so fast seemed very surprising to me as well. I also wish there had been a scene of Jim Broadbent having to take in all of the information from the season, would have made for some great acting from one of my favorites.

 

Honestly Dany being portrayed as a revolutionary never set well with me. I felt like, in large part, her moves to free slaves were transactional in that she got an army out of it. She’s still really just part of a royal lineage who feels entitled to the throne by birthright. The talk about “breaking the wheel” felt varying degrees of organic at times, I guess, but ultimately it would have just represented the Targaryens taking power again after, like, a 20 year break.

I felt like the message of the show was anti-revolution, but the person pushing for said revolution was already part of the ruling class so it wasn’t even actually revolutionary!

And what big reform do you get in the end? Instead of birthright, a small circle of noble Lords and Ladies of Westeros handpick the new king who is ....... part of one of those noble families.

 

I would have settled for a scene of the guy at the front lobby glaring at Sam saying "this is highly irregular."

 

Two questions:

Did we ever find out who varys letters were sent to?

Did we ever learn about the white walkers stone designs/why they made them?

 

I've been getting yelled at by people IRL for this take since Meereen

 

Presumably all of the people that conveniently arrived at the dragon pit some weeks after the murder lol

 

Honestly was ready for Tyrion to say “what about Venezuela” when he was talking with Jon about killing Dany

 

Things would have been so different if her claims about herself had been challenged more (and for legitimate reasons) throughout the entire series. This shouldn’t have been something that went by as an unwelcome fan theory for most of the run.

 

It seems like forever ago that she locked up her dragons in chains because they killed one innocent child

 

Just incase you missed it, George wrote this yesterday...

God I hope he's done actually writing and we're just at the editing stage at this point. I know he said somewhere in the past that he'd send like 2-300 pages over to his editor at a time and then have to do re-writes and shit to fix everything. I Hope that's the stage we're at.

 

If the books actually get released, and the ending is different than the show, I'm gonna read the whole series.

 

Ok so an idea I had was: Jamie knights Brienne, Brienne dies helping Arya get to the night king, Jamie, Overcome with grief and unable to know what to do, goes to the one other person who ever loved him and dies. He cries to her as they die, and she comforts him. They both die finally expressing the emotion they hid all their life.

Him: fear
Her: kindness

 

It won't be but it will be MUCH better fleshed out.

 

You should read it anyway, it is really really good.


I said it earlier today but I think if the ending is different, it's that Jon's ending is less happy and he dies. It doesn't seem likely that Jon or Dany will be sitting on the throne at the end, so if that's the case, my money is on they both die.

 

Do you think Arya sails west without any seafaring experience? In the books that’s a death sentence.

 

I don't want to start a series that won't ever be finished, and I am a little leery about the
description of how his writing style 'slowed down' in the later books somewhat similar to Robert Jordan's in the Wheel of Time. Especially those two things together.
