I wish they werent saving all the good poo poo for the finale, I couldnt even muster a meh when Lyssa died. The Littlefinger kiss felt awfully contrived ![]()

I gathered from the whole Melisandre scene that she wants to use Shireen to make another shadow babby? That just might be the straw that breaks Davos' back.

With Lyssa dead does that mean Peter is Lord of the Vale? Or is that little titty-sucker Robin lord? If so I would imagine he'll be the next one out the Moon Door..

kiimo posted:For once I watched the preview and I'm concerned now that Sansa will do a Stupid Thing again and rat on Littlefinger and the unsubstantiated hatred of her becomes a little more substantiated. It would be a pleasant change for her to do something, anything rather than be carried along by the winds of fate like she has for four seasons.

Shadow posted:Yeah, echoing posts made already about the Mountain, that was some of the most annoyingly over-the-top camera work the show has done. It was beyond unnecessary and flat out cheesy. Hmm, how do we make this 6'9 guy seem tall next to this 5'6 or whatever woman? Bring back S1 Mountain ![]()

Gianthogweed posted:If we couldn't get Gregor1 back, I think I would have preferred Gregor2. Sure he's skinny, but he still looked imposing in armor and had a cool voice. He could probably act a lot better than Gregor3 as well. Although, I have a feeling Gregor3 will pull of the stunts required of him a lot better. Gregor the Third looks too clownish for me and his Andre the Giant voice doesnt help. Ok, I get it The Mountain is big but lets not go over the top with a jovial Icelandic strongest man competitor okay?

precision posted:The difference in how Dany speaks now compared to season 1 is more noticeable to me, though I guess that's more deliberate as she blossoms into the flower of crazy queenship. She started out getting her clothes torn off by dudes and now shes telling dudes to take off their clothes ![]()

bUm posted:Also, the wights have some memory and capability for thought because they tried to kill Lord Commander Mormont (a natural target for a legion of coldmen wanting to invade the realms of man). There must be some sentience or that's an impressive coincidence It was one of two dead rangers that were brought back within the Keeps walls. I thought he ended up in Mormonts chambers because it was late at night and that seemed to be the only bright and lit up room.

Bobo the Red posted:Yeah, the Mountain has suffered a bit from being off camera a lot. Probably works better in a book format to have a character just be talked about. That's certainly why they had that stupid rear end scene: to reintroduce the character (with new actor) and making him seem "scary". Except it looked loving stupid. I just rewatched all of Tywins scenes from S1-4 on youtube and I totally missed tall, skinny lanky-rear end Mountain. Holy gently caress that was some piss-poor casting ![]()

OneThousandMonkeys posted:Mance is arriving at the speed of plot. The only way I can see the Wall not falling is if the white walkers get in the way. I get that the world north of the wall is pretty big but 100,000 dudes not encountering the shambling zombie horde at the end of S2 is ruining my immersion.

bobjr posted:Mance was scared to attack the wall when Karl Fookin Tanner, the legend of Gin Alley was about. Now that he's dead all bets are off. Climbing it looked to be a huge hassle when Tormund and the gang did it, plus the Watch could just shoot their asses off from the top, which makes the tunnel the only logical place to attack. Too bad Thorne refuses to seal it. I hope they at least turn it into a murderhole.

rypakal posted:It's the same thing that happened in the riverlands. Tywin put Harrenhall as supreme over the riverlands, and gave it to Baelish. So whoever ends up with riverrun just has that place, is not lord over the riverlands. Just the same, Tywin moved the control over the North to the Boltons. He intends for Sansa and Tyrion to take winterfell back and probably for them to reclaim the north from Bolton using the stark name as leverage. As Roose says this season, being given the post of Warden of the North is a lot easier than actually claiming it. I just wanna see Sansa have a wild sex scene. Shes been married or betrothed how many times now? And never gets any booty. Meanwhile...Denaerys

OrangeKing posted:We're in autumn -- the maesters in charge of doing weather/climate forecasts declared it so in one of the earlier seasons (2, I think). Based on the way people talk about summers and winters in the show/book though, I'd say that autumn and spring are probably shorter, transitional periods and not the many years-long seasons that those two are. tl;dr winter is coming Ned was right

I'm rewatching all of S1 this weekend in honor of there not being a new episode. I looked up and read some things (not the books) about the origins of Jon Snow in regards to Ned, Robert Baratheon and Lyanna Stark, Neds sister. I'm curious if discussing poo poo that is not in the show or the books but is just theory and speculation is considered spoilers?

Yeah those are the ones. If thats the case it could potentially end up with Jon Snow the bastard despised universally by everyone as having a legit claim to the throne!

On the kings road Ned and Robert are talking about girls and tavern wenches and Robert mentions Wylla and calls her Neds bastards mother. Ned says he'll never speak of it so it could be a bullshit story he doesnt wanna flesh out.

Well I just rewatched it and the last conversation between Ned and Jon before they parted ways Ned used the words: "A Stark" and "My blood" but he never called him his son, ever. So I'm not convinced that Jon is relagated to the Wall forever and will not figure more prominently in the greater game.

Bobo the Red posted:Jon Snow is really quite probably not Ned's son, but his nephew, and heir to either the Baratheon throne or the Targaryen one. Unless the whole thing is a hilarious red herring GRRM put in. But the only really pure souls in the entire show are Ned and Jon, dudes who always do the right thing for the greater good, honor, etc. I could totally see Jon reluctantly ruling if there was no one else.
