Game of Thrones Season 6

I thought there was a distinct lack of shields in the Stark army on the whole,

Yeah they did seem a bit exposed to all those arrows.

I get that they are meant to be a ragtag group but back when the Wildlings attacked Castle Black they at least had shields.

And blimmin mammoths!

also could they have armored/armed the giant somehow?

Just think how thick his plate armour could have been. Arrows and swords would have just bounced off.

And if he’d had a massive bow like the one at Castle Black he could have made a right mess of the Bolton ranks while they were still well out of range. He might even have saved Rickon.

It’s almost like he was preordained to die for narrative reasons 😀

Yep. Lazy writing.

They could still have killed him off with some kind of castle defence (why do none of these castles have any murder holes? Or a portcullis?)

Or on the battlefield from a nice ballista shot.

Presumably Ramsay knew they had a giant, so he’d have had a plan to deal with him.

Surely the reason Jon didnt kill Ramsey was that he didnt want to be seen as a cold hearted killer by his sister because he still thinks she’s the innocent kid she was, which now she isnt.

Nah!

I think they both know each other quite well by now.

Giant cannister of:

ought to do it.

Nah, Ramsey suited up in a medieval Hulkbuster:

😀

Wun Wun could have been all armour plated, and could still have karked it like he did. Shot in the eyeball, just this time it’s through the eye slit in his helmet..

“I’ll do Wun Wun one, I’ll do Wun Wun”

Did Tyrion not use all the Wildfire when defending Kings landing?

I think the point of the rumours that were mentioned is that there are probably (a lot) more caches no-one new about.

According to a Grand Maester who goes down my local boozer, wildfire loses it’s potency after a while, so certain rumours might be a non-starter.

That maester’s too fond of milk of the poppy. I have it on good authority that it does not.

That maester’s too fond of milk of the poppy.

Who isn’t? It gives you the magical power of not being stabbed while unconscious.

Poor kaleesi…or denise patagonia as i like to call her..just seen a trailer and sensa and jon snow are still in it! The 2 most boring characters live and poor old denise gets killed off..are the dragons still in it?

Not sure. The dragons got encased in ice and are currently being guarded by the Gull i’ble tribe. So it’s 50/50 whether they survived in there.

Now I don’t know what to believe…I’m just going to have to keep on watching it…I might have to fast forward the porn and gore though 🙂

I discovered GoT relatively late, as not really a fan of the fantasy genre so didn’t think it would be for me. The sheer joy of being able to bash through the first 4 seasons is an experience I envy anyone getting to do. Especially once you have to shift to episodic weekly viewing. I did try to stockpile episodes during the last season, but once you’re aware of the world, it’s impossible to avoid spoilers.

Get the boxsets/stream/steal all the episodes, take a week off work and enjoy 😀

yep, I got the first 5 series when I had a back operation and had to spend 22hrs a day lying on the bed, was quite a happy time looking back!

I’m rationing it to 2 a night…I’m a big believer in delayed gratification..

When I was getting up to date I did two seasons over a weekend.

Maybe their local Top Man was out of XXXL armour.

Started season 3…I’m warming to sensa and jon snow. Dragons are growing up..

anyone else like to conduct the orchestra playing the opening theme? and if you’re slob eating your dinner at the same time with a fork in one hand. Durrr durrr dadada daaaaa dehdedurrr (bababumbum)

I fast forward the first 1 minute and 52 secs…

ocrider , 😆

i thought that was what i saw ocrider but didnt quite believe it as i was half asleep…

My understanding is Valyrian swords are like penises.

Flaccid until they are called into action 🙂

When I was getting up to date I did two seasons over a weekend.

i did the first 4 in less than a week

Just watched the episode where Khaleesi gets her army..as good a bit of television as I’ve seen.

Just to get us in the mood…

Ooh this is good

R+L = J after all!

Hmmm. More teleportation appears to have happened…. good cinema but even so.

More teleportation appears to have happened

Yeah, I thought that but Dorne is on the way from Mereen to Kings Landing, so they could have picked him up on the way…

Also, that was a pretty good episode – last series is going to be a belter.

Thoughts? seemed more like a filler than a finale. That final scene though.

watched half of it on the bus this morning…no traffic jams when you need them!!…just my sodding luck!

Thoughts? seemed more like a filler than a finale. That final scene though

Yes, but not a bad filler though they did rush through a lot very quickly to get everything in place for next season.

No spoilers but I think most people figured out Cersie’s fix for her current problems though the collateral damage was probably not what she was expecting.

Also, young Lyanna Mormont probably has more b***s than all the leaders of the North combined.

Dunno, Lyanna Mormont could have been parachuted in from a George Lucas screenplay, a youngling is she…
