[Closed] Game of Thrones Season 7

So it wasn't Yara hanging off the front of the ship then? Still chance for more Ellaria/Yara romance which was so rudely interrupted?

Wasn't it Ellaria skewered on a spike and the last sandsnake hanging from the front of the ship?

Obara - speared with her own spear
Nymeria - hung by her own whip.

Ellaria, Tyene ( the Third Sand Snake) and Yara Greyjoy were still alive when last we saw them

PP of the verb to hang meaning to execute by hanging is hanged.

Hanged by her own whip.

I've had people flayed for less.

No, she'll be taken to Cersei as a wedding gift, to be fed to the Mountain / Qyburn / Jaime / hungry ants / etc.

She wasn't killed by hanging though, was she?

She was killed...... and then hung

So the nerd gets outnerded!

I totally agree with others thoughts on things feeling forced, for me it started when the TV series overtook the books, whereas before everything flowed very organically from A to B to C etc stories now jump from A to Z, or make use of Rocky training montages to show a long period of time has passed. I just hope the "half man" wins as such, but I have a horrible feeling he'll sacrifice himself for the greater good.

Ah, but..........

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanged,_drawn_and_quartered

even when it only forms part of the execution / aftermath (the hanging in the above was only a prelude) it's still hanged.

Ergo, as it was part of the killing and subsequent display of the foxy S&M sexpert it remains 'hanged' in my book.

30:15

so who's in the running to be the promised prince(ss)?

contenders -
snow
danny

outsiders -
jaime
tyrion
davos
sam 'the surgeon' tarly
sansa
arya

Hanged drawn and quartered i'll give you because the hanging comes first.

It would be Drawn , quartered and hung though.

Hung like pheasant or dry aged beef.

30 all 🙂

She's not being hung out there to tenderise though, she's being hanged off the front of the ship as part of the posthumous punishment / a warning to others.

40:30

Strictly speaking she was gibbeted in which case my original point stands.

Deuce

Was outnerded correct or should it have been outnerderized?

Some say Theon is still swimming.....

Yes, I just felt this was a little too forced to fit with the story. Surely Yara's fleet would've spotted them and even after discovery they'd have put up some sort of fight, but it seemed as if they only had about a half dozen ships rather than hundreds that were shown at the end of series 6 ?

Yeah... Although I did geek out last week and look at the map of where Dary sailed, and wondered how she missed Euron's fleet. Seems she didn't.

Also, it looked to me like Euron got stabbed about 10 times, quite severely, yet it didn't slow him down or seem to have any longterm effect.

Yeah again... He did seem to take quite a pasting.

conceded

Some say Theon is still swimming.....

Nah,.....Gendry picked him up in his rowing boat.

lol. I also looked up a map, saw how close they were, then thought NO, THAT IS TOO MUCH NERDAGE and stopped worrying about it

😆

Hey, I love maps. Even fictional ones!

Damn the insanely hot sisters are dead

I think one of them is still alive (for now), but insanely annoying sisters. But hot yes.

They were nice, but they're no Brienne of Tarth.

(yup 10mb gif cause this backwater doesn't support HTML5 video)

Too much clunky expositiony dialogue in these last few episodes. Also, I found it slightly incongruous that everyone in Westeros now just accepts that there are Dragons again. No questions, no skepticism.

IIRC in series one there was a complete dismaissal of anyone every seeing dragons again, indeed they weren't even convinced they were ever real. Now Cersei says there are dragons and all of her bannermen just believe it.

News would be travelling across the narrow sea. Possibly instigated by Varys, as it's in their interest. You'd think there'd be rumours flying, which Cersei and Jon are just confirming.

Oh, one other thing that seemed a bit odd.

How had Arya managed to not hear about the Battle of the Bastards until pie boy told her? Surely the area would be abuzz with the news?

Yes I know but when you establish a reality or a cultural mindset (even in a fantasy setting) you need to acknowledge a shift in that reality. I could be wrong, I could be forgetting some scenes but it seems like lazy or neglectful that everyone has gone from being sceptical about everything to just accepting everything.

Not the first time Pie Face McGuffin has facilitated the spread of news.

As for getting places quickly we could have had an entire series take place while js heads to dragonstone and back. It would just be rubbish and dragging it out. I'd have preferred longer episodes but in reality there is an ending and we do need to get there.

Given the number of dragon skulls about its not a massive surprise.

Yes but that's framed by information about the last known dragons being the size of cats (or something) and dying shortly after birth hundreds of years ago, along with dismissal of most or all mythical beasts.

I'm not suggesting that the audience can't figure it out - it's better when it's established by the show, not left to be guessed at or assumed.

When he said to Arya that he was a survivor I immediately thought that his fate was sealed as GoT loves an opportunity to crush optimism.

I know, I'd even started counting slowly down from 5, expecting a mystery spear/sword/arrow/dragon/other doom to appear from nowhere!

The Euron fleet thing is still irritating the shit out of me. Even IF he'd managed to find them in the dark, how did he manage to get his flagship next to their flagship without anyone really spotting them. Surely even the most idiotic sailor would have thought that suddenly the fleet got a lot bigger. Seems that it was just a way to unleash Theon's misery on the viewers again, remove the Sunspear lot from the storyline and progress the Euron story.

Other than that, usual occasionally wooden acting and variable accents aside, I thought it was pretty good. I can't hear Little Finger without this coming to mind:

Oh and I knew Nymeria Sand was being bumped off or sent into some sort of exile this series, what with her being a main character in Iron Fist now.

remove the Sunspear lot from the storyline

so if the Dorne coup is all gone, who's left in charge?

TBH that particular subplot was always a bit dubious. The King's son is betrothed to Cersei's daughter, yet the consort (& daughters) of now king's brother, manages to kill everyone and take over and have the entire country/royal household/plot/series just kinda go along with it.

Theresa May seems the default choice after someone miscalculates and removes themselves from power as a result.

Presumably she'll be in favour of Dexit, call a general, weaken her powerbase, and then be unable to garner the necessary support to attend the forthcoming war.

Shhh! You'll attract all the big hitters from the politics threads. I can almost hear their weaselly little noses twitching in anticipation for yet another 100+ page shit show they can swing their huge e-penises in.

According to the Game of Thrones wiki (you piqued my interest enough to go and do some "research"), there are an unknown number (probably 2-3) of other children who, one assumes, are not as photogenic or good with pointy things. Probably two boys who are good at accounting or chess or something so didn't warrant a screen appearance or even anything more than a passing mention in the books.

I heard a theory today that the end of the series 8 will be the undead killing everyone.

It would work...

And... he's opened a real life bakery called... wait for it...

Genius

Agree with everyone who says it feels a little rushed.
Not only that but I'm still finding the dialogue clunky.

Obviously still amazing, but mostly because I'm so invested 🙂

I miss the days of 3min scenes of Varys/Tyrion, etc.

I wish they'd film a bit more of it outside during the day. It's so unrelentingly dark, I can hardly see what's going on half of the time!

The sea ambush did feel a bit contrived, even by GoT standards - they usually have helpful armies arriving to save the day in the middle of a losing battle though.

Wonder where they got the inspiration for Euron, eh?
