We’ve still three shows to go, I reckon there’s going to be a few deaths by assassination and a fair bit of politics and skullduggery
Don't hold your breath...
One episode of getting to KL, maybe some actual plot if lucky.
One episode of Eliminate Cersei.
One episode of snooze fest wrap up.
No-one makes telly like this anymore
Ben & Holly is exactly like that.
Arya takes Qyburns face
Question is, does the zombie mountain remain animated after Qyburn croaks?
Ben & Holly is exactly like that.
True, planning on a Ben & Holly binge to help get over the lack of GoT
like a medieval A-team. No-one makes telly like this anymore, it’s all got to be massive story arcs now etc.
I agree - I like 'monster of the week' shows too. I'm hoping that the new Judge Dredd Megacity show can do it, but I bet the big money men always insist on cliffhangers and big story arcs.
I preferred Fringe when it was monster of the week, same with X-Files.
Just rewatched this weeks episode for the 3rd time, in the scene were the NK is looking down on Bran, it switches to Jon hiding from the ice dragon and then to Wight who's hair moves like its blown in the wind, any thoughts on what moves his hair? the next clip is Ayra jumping and being caught, is it Ayra speeding past or a throw away clip?
Guy at work has an interesting theory that when Bran popped off to fly about a bit, he actually went off to make a deal with the NK. So that when they actually faced off, there was some sort of transference or handing over, hence the NK didn't mind being offed so easily by Arya. Means there's more NK antics to come.
is it Ayra speeding past or a throw away clip?
It’s Arya doing her ninja death leap.
First sign that she was even there because of, like, stealth and that as previously established in the library creeping scene
Yup Arya that's how I knew she was there.
It's details like that I spot in films and TV which is why you'll see me comment on a film being predictable.
I liked that the zombies stayed quiet because they were in the library
that is not a prediction, that is you noticing something which you are intended to see. I bet you're great at "predicting" the lottery too after you've seen what the numbers are 😂😂😂It’s details like that I spot in films and TV which is why you’ll see me comment on a film being predictable.
The real question is, why didn’t she just throw the Catspaw Dagger from her place of concealment.
She’d already demonstrated her super accurate blade throwing skills to Gendry using unbalanced dragonglass knives.

Errrrr! Exactly films and TV are full of them which allows you to predict what is going to happen. I'm not sure you've grasped what prediction means.
Night Kings reflexes too quick. Knew chucking the dagger wouldnt work

Makes you sound proper awesome innit
Wow ,Drac is a see everything three eyed raven 😉 🙂

No not really I can only speak for myself but I'm sure I won't be the only one.

3 eyed bat.
Well done to Drac for seeing it coming a second before it happened.
Meanwhile, on page 3 of this thread, a week ago, someone said this.....😉
she’s setting herself up for a stealth suicide mission to off the Night King.
A girl would like to kill the walking embodiment of a god of death.

If Arya takes a face, does she also take the body. Because Cersei might see through the jamie disguise given it's his body as much as his face that she's interested in.
Theon she might manage as long as word's not out yet?
How come the NK didn't crisp up when burnt by the dragon? Is he a Targaryen?
I thought that Aryra could only take the faces of those she killed? If so it would be great if she could turn up at Kings Landing as the NK.
How come the NK didn’t crisp up when burnt by the dragon? Is he a Targaryen?
The theory that Targaryens are immune to fire is somewhat undermined by the Tragedy at Summerhall during which King Aegon V Targaryen and Prince Duncan Targaryen both died.
In a fire.
Because he’s magic or something well was.
Arya will need a set of stilts to impersonate most other characters.
How come the NK didn’t crisp up when burnt by the dragon?
because; magic. See also: Battle of hardholme.
.
<p class="p1">Granny: Do Targaryens become immune to fire once they "bond" to their dragons?</p>
<p class="p1">George_RR_Martin: Granny, thanks for asking that. It gives me a chance to clear up a common misconception. TARGARYENS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE! The birth of Dany's dragons was unique, magical, wonderous, a miracle. She is called The Unburnt because she walked into the flames and lived. But her brother sure as hell wasn't immune to that molten gold.</p>
I'm going to have to watch this epic fight thingy. After the comments about Endgame's battle I'll be pleased to see how the pros do it.
Disclosure: I've only seen the first 2o minutes of the first episode of GoT Season 1. I was promised tits and dragons and got neither.
Fire ImmunityJust as with the White Walkers under his control, the Night King was immune to fire due to the extreme cold he radiated. During the Wight Hunt, he was seen walking through a wall of dragon fire unharmed, his mere presence causing it to flicker and go out. He was also completely unharmed by direct dragon fire, as he showed no signs of damage or weakness after being completely engulfed in Drogon's flames during the Battle of Ice and Fire.
Well thanks for mentioning End Game I'll cancel my tickets for later now. 😂
I'm hoping it'll be Ed Sheeran the Shyte King on the throne at the end - especially if the iron throne has it's swords sharpened.
Just watched it again and what they’ve done with the score, particularly in the final scenes, is utter genius!

Shoulda stuck it out for another 9 minutes and 44 seconds Eddie.
Drac. For being a non fan your very well versed in all things G.o.t 😉

It's that lack of commitment my exes always talk about. Or lack of staying power. They get conflated...
Anyway I am still waiting for Catelyn Stark to re-appear and also Arya's dire wolf to come along with its adopted pack.
Any other character due to re-appear?
Dragon fire doesn't work, reckon I would have told my dragon to eat him. Doubt he was teethproof.

Worst brain-freeze ever.
He'd have stuck the Dragon with his magic spear and then they'd have been really ****ed!!

Well in the books she is staggering around a bit worst for the wear John Snow style!
Not a super fan Plus One I enjoy it and recall some info. I had now idea why he was fireproof.
I've just watched episode 3, thought Vin Diesel might appear at the end and do some donuts. The hair wind was obviously from his exhaust.
This is more Rock territory. Next up, Scorpion King.
Has anyone else noticed how Bran sounds like any member of Pink Floyd in any interview from the early 60’s. Vocal tone and facial expression. Perhaps they are working plans to build another wall?

The unsullied would probably make good cheap labour. All in all, they’ve got no dick and no balls.
I don’t think there are many unsullied left - most of them died defending “the trench that wouldn’t light”
Has no one watched it yet?!
Didn't see that dragon getting offed!!!
First half was verging on slapstick, then classic GoT shenanigans at the end. We absolutely loved it!
Didn’t see that dragon getting offed!!!
Saw this coming a mile off. The Lannisters has a bloody big crossbow when she last fought them. If anything the military ineptitude of team Daeny is getting on my nerves. Firstly the send their entire mounted cavalry (looked like a few thousand) in on the walkers without a clue what they were facing and got trounced then this week she sends her ships and two dragons right up to kings landing without even a hint of a recce to see if there was a trap waiting.... FFS. She could have flow just one of her Dragons really high over kings landing a viewed the enemy and known exactly where the ships were waiting. But no... just pile right in and get another beating.
She’s bloody useless and so are her commanders and got what she deserves.
Aye they’ve had those crossbows for ages I guess Daeny missed that episode.
Wasn’t too bad but again like the first 2 dragged out. Still there seems to a Starbucks there which is nice.
That was boring. The hostage thing was ridiculous. The accuracy of the anti-aircraft fire was a joke - first dragon got three direct hits. Has anyone involved in the writing actually tried shooting a moving target?
Are dragons difficult to hit. I found pigeons quite easy and dragons seem a bit bigger so can’t be too bad.
I found pigeons quite easy
With a crossbow when they're flying?
They were over dragonstone when the dragon got hit. Not kings landing.
Rhaegal,the dragon that was hit, was the one that was injured in the last episode. Would have been a slower target.
No one commanded the dothraki cavalry to charge when they all died. They were hyped up after Mel set their weapons on fire and went for it on their own.
But they definitely could have done a recce first with the dragons flying out really high out of range.
Would have been a slower target.
They were flying in formation, so going at the same speed.
With a crossbow when they’re flying?
Pssst! It’s not real.
Well that was meh.
The feast at the start was great to see all the characters interacting, but where did they all come from given that it appeared 99% of Winterfell was munched on in the last episode? And they all appear fine that the night before they'd just fought an overwhelming horde of zombies from their worst nightmares and seen most of their friends and family die, and then be resurrected and try to kill them.
Then Dany failing to spot an entire fleet until her dragon was killed by 3 surface to air missiles..
And then the parley at kings landing was just stupid and out of character. Cersei could have happily killed Dany and her leadership on the spot, along with the dragon that was just chilling in front on a bunch of balistas and ended the war there and then, it's not like she would pass up an opportunity to do that..
The writing this season is awful. So many plot holes and time jumps, main character armour etc. Still going to see it until the last episode , but it really feels like they are just rushing it to get it wrapped up.
Tough crowd! I think what some folk really need to remember......it's not real!
As long as you remember it’s “not” a true story you’ll enjoy it more 😉
I enjoyed it, not as much as last week, but still great.
Hell of a time hop at the break though, one min they’re all half drowning on the beach, next they’re having a conflab with Cersi.
2 episodes left, Cersi falls next week, then the in-fighting to see who gets the throne?
So cool that there are so many dragon fighting military experts on here, I’m mega impressed.
Dragon queen will die next week and leave Jon snow to avenge her for the throne in the last episode.
Nope, Dragon Queen will go full mad Targaryen and obliterate King's Landing next week. Jon arrives afterwards and is reluctantly forced to compete with her for the throne.
Heavy handed foreshadowing of Jon's death as he left Winterfell? Or just the fact that as king he'll stay in the south?
Lots of people being given reasons to want to kill Cersi face to face. All going a bit Line Of Duty...
Agree the pacing is just weird. Lots of time wasted talking, etc. and then sudden time jumps to move the narrative on.
Still watching though.
Drac... Funny you should post that...
Tormund and Ghost, i'd watch the crap out of that
Drac… Funny you should post that…
I reckon it’s a fake pic.
Next week will definitely be the mad Queen firing up the King's Landing BBQ, but which Queen will Eggon be facing off against in the final episode?
Little to disagree with in the criticisms above. There was ample opportunity for death this episode, and we saw only one. In earlier series these opportunities would have been gloriously taken!
Daenerys and Jon are too obvious, I think it might be Arya who will be queen, there were a few hints seeded tonight
And why no close up of the be-heading? They've gone soft.
And why no close up of the be-heading? They’ve gone soft.
they wanted to show Greyworms reaction - got a feeling he'll have a big part to play in the last few eps... just gutted we didnt get to see her bristols again!!
i really hope that slimey prick who is cersei's hand meets a particularly violent demise!!
Wasn't too bad as an episode, the dragon died a bit easily but probably better than Euron having a dragon horn and taking control of them.
I like that Varys finally has a speaking part again and it's setting things up for a big rift at the end but with only a couple of episodes left and presumably at least one of them having a big battle I wish they'd have had more episodes otherwise they're bound to rush a lot of stuff.
The whole castle ramparts thing was a bit lame, pretty sure the Cersei of old would have made Tyrion a porcupine at the end to
haha yeah Drac funny you should post that. Wooooosh!
GoT do have a history of making errors
😁
yeah, she looked very smug/confident so maybe felt she didn’t have to, but a volley from the ballistas would’ve finished it there & then!!The whole castle ramparts thing was a bit lame, pretty sure the Cersei of old would have made Tyrion a porcupine at the end to
It’s not looking like it’ll end well between Jon & Dani now!
The baristas could have ended it even sooner.
