WHY BONER NOW posted:Yeah the issue is pretty simple. The writers wanted arya to kill the nk and they wanted it to be a surprise, so they took pains to make sure. I know when I was watching, I was like "holy poo poo Jon's not going to make it in time!!" Credit where it's due, the misdirection was done really well. Between the swelling music, interspersed scenes of the main characters seemingly all eating poo poo, and Jon blocked by a dragon, I thought uh oh shits going to get bad. She just ran super fast by the other white walkers. Go back and watch the scene. Immediately before the Arya jump from behind we get a shot of one of the White walkers up close and his hair blows up as if something went by him very fast. He starts to turn his head to see what it was and then it cuts to the scene of Arya jumping from behind.

What if Daenerys died and then Jon gave his life to resurrect her, like book Beric did with Catelyn lol. Seems on-brand, but since the ability to do that hasn't been established in the show it's probably unlikely.

Studio execs don't exactly have a reputation for being overly conscientious, so I think I'm fair assumming they're not doing that until I see it.

Deified Data posted:The worst part of the episode to you was the show actually being consistent w/r/t NK's weaknesses? The reason obsidian and valyrian steel is special is because of dragonflame. Normal fire not hurting him is fine but him being immune to the thing that created his weaknesses is lame. All it took to make that scene not dumb would be making it clearly, visibly obvious that the NK was parting the flames with some unseen force like that one Walker did at Hardhome.

If the show has the balls to pull off Mad Queen Dany after dropping nearly all the book development toward her potentially being insane, tbh it will make up for a lot of the dumb decisions D&D have made.

Just Chamber posted:Every inevitable prequel, sequel and spin off. They dont want to leave the audience with a bad taste in their mouths, they're too scared to not end on a happy note. If they have an episode like the red wedding in the next 3 episodes where a beloved character dies I 100% bet there will be articles like "Killing ____ was too far and was really upsetting". Like say Ayra just died in the next couple eps after she tries to kill the Mountain and he's just so strong that he breaks her back or something (which in the old Game of Thrones would totally happen), people would boycott the show, call it too cruel etc, when ostensibly thats what the show has been about from the start, real consequences for mistakes, but this isnt the same show anymore so that wont happen. and if you've watched seven seasons of GoT you're not going to stop now when there's three episodes left, no matter what happen.

Just show a couple of shots of Arya moving about the rooftops all Assassin's Creed style and make it clear that nobody sees her in the chaos of the battle. Have her notice Jamie and Jon and Gendry in their predicaments and maybe have a fake out where she's going to try to save one of them. I'm bouncing back on my opinion of the episode; I think that all of the core beats of the storyboard are fine, it's just poorly sequenced and explained to the viewer.

I mean, the only person who knew her before she became a megalomaniac just died (and maybe one of her dragons too?), I suppose that could maybe trigger something. It wouldn't necessarily be good or believable, mind you, but it's not completely out of the question.

This was also the show whose first episode concluded with a man pushing a child out a window and paralyzing him for life, and then the man getting a whole redemption arc until he became one of the show favorites.

It wouldn't necessarily be good or believable, mind you, but it's not completely out of the question. I think having Tyrion's obvious doubts at Dany burning both Tarlys last year is a minor stepping stone toward 'Dany starts burning traitors after they defeat Cersei and everyone realizes she's kinda nuts' but other than that she hasn't had many mad queen-esque scenes since she took Meereen.

If Jaime did that in season 5 to Bran I’m sure he would say something a lot worse than “the things I do for love” after

Normal fire not hurting him is fine but him being immune to the thing that created his weaknesses is lame. I don't know, I interpreted it more as "dragon fire is necessary to properly forge the materials we need to kill white walkers" and not "dragon fire itself kills white walkers" Kind of like water is required to forge them as well but I would not say "white walkers are weak to water". I assume dragon fire just burns hotter than a normal forge.

I just had a thought. At the end of season 7, Jon and Dany's initial request was that Cersei withdraw her armies and not attack them. She didn't actually move against the North or Dany's conquered territories while they were preoccupied with the army of the dead. Even though she lied when she pledged her forces to fight the zombies, she didn't actually do any more than they wanted her to in the first place. Granted that's mainly because she didn't have time to move against them because the way time and travel works in this show now, but still.

I thought Dany was barren now after the problems with her baby early in the series. That's why Jon and Sansa's baby will end up on the Iron Throne.

Fart Amplifier posted:She is facing off against a supernatural assassin and an omniscient person. Bran's story pretty much ends with the NK, he should pretty much just be all  like the old 3ER after the battle. Alternately the series ends with Jaime throwing Cersi out a window after she catches him loving Bran, could go either way at this point
