Game of Thrones S8, Apr 14-May 19 @9PM EDT |OT| Aunt-Man and the Frost

[flyingman]

What characterization , sometimes i wonder if we were seeing same episodes because i saw none. Just useless filler shit. Like "i know you " , "hey i know you from season 3 " "hey i know you " , "remember this ? "

None of characters had any character development.Unless you count Brienne Tarth becoming "Ser" a character development but thats even it.

 

[Bumrush]

The only thing that worries me about the next episode is that night time scenes usually look awful on the HBO Go / Now apps...and the entire battle will take place in dimly lit areas.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Well then, the people in the crypt are fucked then.

Someone last night posted that Starks put a special sword on graves so their spirits don't rise or something. I don't remember if this is true or not.

 

[shiftplusone]

That's debatable as women can't inherit the Iron Throne and Jon is a deserting Night's Watch member. If Stannis were alive, he'd have the stronger legal claim between Dany and Jon

he's not a deserter, he was lord commander and they killed him

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death.

 

[Crossing Eden]

I keep forgetting to check. Are the episode runtimes including the pre and post show stuff, or is it all meat?

Click to shrink...

All meat

But my point is, the Stark dead are just bones, have we seen walking bones with no ligaments to hold them together before?

Click to shrink...

Unfortunately for our heroes....yea we've seen walkers that were mostly comprised of bones

 

[Kalor]

What moments, it was full of zzZ.
Only thing i remember from is Arya's disappointing body.
Literally both are filler episodes with 0 interesting thing happens. Atleast we saw dragons on first episode

Talking about someone as having a "disappointing body" sure is a great way to talk about a person and definitely doesn't make you sound like an asshole.

holy fkn shitty post.

"disappointing body" [REALLY showing us your butthole with this one breh]]

"atleast we saw dragons"

why do you even watch this show?

 

[flyingman]

Theon and Sansa.
Davos, the little girl and Gilly.
Pod, Jaime, Tormund, Davos, Brienne, Tyrion drinking and talking.
Brienne being knighted.
Jon telling Dany about his parentage.
Pod singing Jennys song.

Click to shrink...

What talking ? You guys are have seriously low standarts. They really missed opportunity there. There could be a lot of things to happen on that drinking scene but nothing happened. None of them told any good story about anything. Just useless wanna drink bro ? hahaha giant tit milky. And useless becoming knight scene.
Whatever suffering is near end 3-4 weeks. Show has fallen like dump in toilet compared to Season1

 

[John Dunbar]

he's not a deserter, he was lord commander and they killed him

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death.

Click to shrink...

man, jon has some work ahead of him explaining his claim. he's not a deserter because he is in fact dead, and he is the legitimate son of rhaegar and his brother and best friend can vouch for that.

 

[Yog-Sothoth]

What I liked about the Theon scene is that he basically gives Dany the middle finger lol. He's there for Sansa, not her.

Get wrecked Dany.

 

[Starviper]

It seems like the dragons should have been a topic of discussion. They know that the Night King can one-shot a dragon. So do you bring them out right away? Or wait until your human army is failing? If the undead show up with a dragon do your release your dragons to fight them?

Maybe the dragon discussions are being withheld from us, but it seems like a pretty important conversation to withhold.

Click to shrink...

Even more of note, it looked like the WW's are all readied with ice spears on the frontline. They're prepared to take down another dragon or two from the look of it.

[Ether_Snake]

Holy shit. Can they do it? 1 hour of greatness with a 20 minute build up?

Click to shrink...

I think 15 mins of building up or so, such as Bran/Theon going to the godswood. Dany probably telling Jon she is getting on Drogon and he should get on Rhaegal and maybe some disagreements between them. People getting in the crypts. The army getting into position.

Then you have a 40 min battle, so you got another hour left.

That means probably some one-on-one time between Bran and the NK/last showdown, people having to flee Winterfell. That's maybe another 15-20 mins. Still have another 40 mins. Not sure what can happen. Maybe some stuff at KL, would be a good way to leave the WF crew behind until we see them again in ep4.

Show Jon's not a deserter. His watch was technically ended when he died.

Now, the book version could be different. Book Jon's basically a legit traitor to the NW. That would be even worse in Stannis' eyes.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Also they got ice spears.

Hmm, don't think that's been mentioned in the show? And I can't recall reading it in the books either, but that was a long while back.

It's 80 minutes, not 120.

Why all are we here ? to see end of course. Do you think most people care how shitty show is anymore , they just want to see how it ends

 

[Budi]

Someone PLEASE tell me that shot of her from the back was a body double. I don't want to think of Arya like that. Feels pervish.

Click to shrink...

She touches herself at nights.

The next four episodes are literally movie length. Note that the runtime is minus the opening sequence, end credits, and behind the scenes.

Click to shrink...

This is great. It's bit of a bummer the season is so short but, episode lenght makes up for it.

That's exactly what is happening. The majority enjoys the show. The drive by hot takes don't change that.

My biggest gripe with HBO and the show. The dark scenes are sometimes too dark and you can't make out shit.

People enjoying doesnt mean they think its great though. People are enjoying to see how it will end , will they favorite die etcetera.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Sometimes the execution of the show is bad, but as far as if it is badly written as a whole, we have to wait and see what the pay off is. There might be a point to it all.

I'm not seeing any red flags like I did with LOST though.

 

[Dream Machine]

My little sister. I must protect her. She must be pure.

I wasn't fully convinced that GoT had gone full anime until the reactions to Arya's sex scene last episode.

 

[Deleted member 3897]

People enjoying doesnt mean they think its great though.

Click to shrink...

That's exactly what it means. If someone enjoy the show and think it's great, then the show is great for them, but not for the people who don't think it's great, for them it's not a great show.

And for the majority, GoT is a great show. But for whatever reason, the people who finds the show bad or shitty, rerally needs everyone to hear about how bad/shitty the show is.

Either you're just straight up ignorant and missed all character development/closure in this episode, or you just want to complain for complaining sake. There is no other possible explanation for your endless dribble.

This was one of the better written (and one of the better acted) episodes of GoT since Season 1, easily. This is not an unpopular opinion.

[Damerman]

This season seems to have too many MGS4 type of moments and that's not a good thing.

Click to shrink...

ok, so this is where I bow out of this thread... I thought we could have discussions in good faith, but if we are going to compare this to MGS4(wich I still love as a game) threads like these are forfeit.

 

[Jiggy]

Yes I have and that's why I asked you. Because it was clear that Rhaegar knew what his father had become. There was no way he was going to leave him in power. The tourney of Harrenhal and the facts behind it are proof of that.

Click to shrink...

The furthest we got on Rhaegar overthrowing Aerys was one line to Jaime along the lines of "changes will be made". By then half the realm was in uprising and Rhaegar wasn't long for this world. Rhaegar should have dealt with Aerys a long time ago, instead he got distracted by... prophecies.

Mine and, from what I've seen, the majority of the fans.

Sorry that things are getting lonely on the "disappointing body" island that is your opinion, man.

That's exactly what it means. If someone enjoy the show and think it's great, then the show is great for them, but not for the people who don't think it's great, for them it's not a great show.

Put them on ignore if you don't like their posts. These are the conversations taking place, and I don't see them telling people who like the show to be quiet.

 

[Mr.Awesome]

I thought the episode was awful and I'm still a fan of the series. Just my opinion though.

Anyways, just throwing out theories for next week. Something has to happen in the crypt, presumably with dead bodies. Way too much focus on it otherwise.

Tyrion has to save the day somehow. Hes been fuckong up way too much with his plans, so he will redeem himself with his intellect somehow. Hes also confident they will win, which seems unusual for him. I wonder if hes been working with Bran.

I wonder when Bronn will show up. Middle of the battle for a comedic break, like what the fuck did I just walk into?

It's a pretty rude thing to say, I think.

 

[Sephzilla]

The Theon/Sansa moment in this episode was a genuine heart string tugging moment for me because both of those characters have been through some shit.

 

[Coyote Starrk]

The furthest we got on Rhaegar overthrowing Aerys was one line to Jaime along the lines of "changes will be made". By then half the realm was in uprising and Rhaegar wasn't long for this world. Rhaegar should have dealt with Aerys a long time ago, instead he got distracted by... prophecies.

Click to shrink...

There is strong evidence that Rhaegar was behind the planning of the tourney at Harrenhal in order to gather all the Lord's of Westeros in one place in order to discuss the situation about his father. Aerys had not left the Red Keep in years and Harrenhal was far enough away that Rhaegar had time and distance on his side.

However Aerys advisors convinced him that Rhaegar and the others were plotting against him and so he decided to attend. This ruining the potential planning. They were not going to plot against the king understand the Kings nose. And the appearance of Aerys with his long raggedy hair and his yellow claws is what cemented the idea of the "mad king" in the eyes of the rest of the realm. it led to everyone being that much more willing to join Roberts rebellion. From there it's history.

But it's clear that Rhaegar knew changes needed to be made and he knew how to make them. He was everything Robert wasn't and would have been a damn better ruler by comparison. Robert bankrupt the realm and set the 7 kingdoms on the path to the disaster that we see now.


It's all a what if so it just my opinion vs yours, but you will not convince me that the 7 kingdoms was better off with Robert and Cersei on the throne than Rhaegar and Lyanna. There is just far too much evidence to the contrary.

As someone in the "I hate what this show has become but I''m watching it anyway to see how it ends" camp, I did enjoy last night's episode. The knighting of Brienne was an all timer for me, especially since she is one of my favorite characters in the series. Really great moment.

 

[Protein]

I'm betting anti-Helm's Deep

 

[Deleted member 30544]

The new episode had it's moments, but I must admit that i was a little bit bored. I know that they are going to burn the house down next espisode so this was more like a prelude, i get it, but...i don't know.

Brianne being knighted was awesome.

 

[The Artisan]

Has Meera Reed been written off the show?

 

[Conrad Link]

They got their ice spears ready to fight dragons cause they're actually scared of them, maybe they are the key!

I feel like I missed a point when everyone there just understood and accepted Bran's stuff as normal. Like ok yea Bran saw this, listen to him he has all these answers cause he's a wizard or something now. *everyone nods along*

I remember before it was like "Oook." *looks at each other* type thing when he talked lol.

Anyway, really enjoyed todays episode, everyone having their 'final chats' and interactions. I'd be disapointed NOT to have this kinda stuff, especially for those that maybe wont make it through the battle. Today's episode just builds the hype for next weeks even more IMO, sooo hyped for the next episode!
