Mameluke posted:They should bring Edmure back because a) people just kind of poo poo on him for no reason, like just because he can't hit a moving pyre at 200 feet doesn't mean anything, and b) Tobias Menzies is a serious hottie Also because he's one of the best actors on TV. I'm starting to think it was a mistake to kill the King's Landing cast off in the sept explosion because now basically 95% of the characters are fighting for the Good Guys in Winterfell and down south, with Bronn having hosed off, we just have Cersei, Euron, Qyburn and the zombie. Which makes it seem even more likely that there'll be a schism between Dany's forces and Jon's forces purely because there needs to be one for dramatic tension. Have I forgotten some non-Winterfell story thread that hasn't been spotted in season 8 yet but might rear its head again?

This rules. Even the writers have no idea what the characters where doing ten pages ago in the scripts, there is no chance in hell that they keep track of anything in the books. It's YOLO writing, but in a really bad "I don't caaaaaaaare" way That's cute

Hear me out here guys, but maybe Sam, Tyrion, and Manderly are all GRRM inserts. There's no reason he couldn't have written parts of himself into several characters.

Arya is probably dead, and his body float somewhere in that city where she traveled to become assassin. Probably that water that she drinked from kills you, and a minion from the many faces god replace you with a clone of your body and the same face and feelings. The ending will be every god have a avatar in the winterfell battle, and they will grown 20 foot high and have a battle royale (god royale?), ignoring the mortals. The resulting apocalypse will turn westeros into the British Islands.

GRRM's self-insert is Aegon the Unworthy. He even predicted his own likely passing.quote:The reign of the unworthy monarch finally ended in 184 AC. At only forty-nine years of age, he had become so morbidly obese he could not walk anymore, making many wonder how his last mistress could endure his embrace. Aegon died a horrible death, his bloated body so swollen that he could not even lift himself from his couch that became covered in his feces. Aegon's limbs were rotting and crawling in hosts of flesh worms, and the maesters said they had never seen the like of this before.

Ending: Everyone dies except Tyrion, Arya and Gendry. They are trapped in the forge with the zombies outside two big doors. Gendry improvise 1 giant hamster ball, and they put Tyrion inside. The ball have obsidian spikes (so any zombie the ball touch goes poff). They release tyrion in this hamster ball to roll around and kill all the zombies.

GokuGoesSSJ3 posted:I just assume the show is skipping over time when someone would be sitting in their castle or whatever waiting for someone else to arrive to move the plot forward. It's not like every episode = 1 month or something. Oh god now I've been lured into posting about it. Yeah besides the dragon thing that was a bit of a stretch for the most party it's pretty safe to just assume time moved forward enough to allow for travel. People complaining about "time travel" are caught on all the wrong things.

Yea, one of the problems of fighting against zombies is half the warfare books are useless. You can't scare the zombies. You can't confuse the zombies. Is more like fighting against a snow avalanche than fighting against a army composed of soldiers. You can't negotiate with the zombies, you either have the streangh to stop them, or they will run over you. Also lets imaginate this. Giant battle. All the zombies die, only a handful of people survive. Survivors are all "Woot!, yayyyyyy!!!". And then the NK appears and raise the arms, and a new army of zombies raise, the previous defenders of the castle.

The only real way for it to end is for them to do some kind of hivemind deal where once you kill the Night King the rest of his army stops working at collapses. The Walkers' powers have been built up too much to be anything the living could ever realistically stop.

Talking out loud here but i wanted to write out what I'm thinking about Cersei's strategy. Cersei's strategy to not help the North doesn't seem that bad of an idea, right? She has two enemies, the NK and Dany. I don't think she's really differentiating between the two at this point (maybe she should since she's facing a non-traditional enemy with the undead) because she will eventually fight them both. She just sees this as a "well I have a net amount of enemy to fight, why not let them kill each other as much as possible so the total enemy I have to fight will be less than what there is right now." If an unsullied or another dragon gets turned, it's still a single enemy unit in her eyes. The only thing is if the undead win and continue their march south they'll add more bodies to their army as they go through various towns. Jon Snow also mentions to Cersei that the undead can be killed with fire, and we've seen wildfire used with great success multiple times so maybe that'll be the trick up her sleeve to defeat them? I think the battle for the north (Dany vs NK) will change the game at which point Cersei can just adapt to whatever that change is and then deal with it.

They have this exact conversation at the end of that scene and reach the same conclusion as to why the one wight didn't crumble. If you're gonna nitpick it's a bit convenient that the walker just had the one "loaner" wight with him though.

As Nero Danced posted:The zombies don't give a poo poo how sharp your tongue is kid, no one has time to protect you on the battlefield. It can be huge deal for the ones fighting the zombies though. Joan of Arc for example did not fight alongside her troop but her presence inspired them to fight harder.

The only thing is if the undead win and continue their march south they'll add more bodies to their army as they go through various towns. It’s a pretty bad idea. She will be fighting both armies plus three ice dragons at once when the NK beats Jon and Dany, and just having wildfire isn’t enough. She’s severely underestimating the undead, which you alluded to. If she helps them defeat the undead, she will then only have to fight two dragons (maybe less if they die in battle) and a much smaller force of northerners/unsullied/dothraki. Maybe she’s just waiting for the right time to swoop in and look like a hero while plotting to stab everyone in the back, but to me that seems more like a Tywin move and she’s well past that.

cersei a) doesn't know the aotd breached the wall and b) that they have an undead dragon As far as she's concerned , Dany can either torch all the undead or lose her dragons trying. Cersei is doing just fine based on her info.
