GoT Season Seven

[Scalito]

Really disappointed that the writers are still running with this shoehorned-in romantic sub-plot. Thought they would be paring down on worthless stuff like that now that we are down to what, 10-12 more episodes total (if that?). That scene took up a solid 8 or so minutes.

She has really nice booooobs.

The opportunities for HBO's required level of nudity are dwindling since all the characters likely to be found in the sack are mostly dead. Ep 1 had a naked corpse. Be thankful for the upgrade and shut up.

I can't believe no one has made a strap-on joke regarding Grey Worm yet . . . .

 

[HuskyHawk]

Dany threatening to burn Varys alive. There has always been the possibility of her being insane but with more and more foreshadowing, I truly think she will be the Mad Queen. Is this an obvious take? For whatever reason, I never seriously thought she would turn bad.

Not remotely suggestive of madness to me. Fire is her weapon. Certainly she would and should kill him if he betrays her. Burning folks up is what she does best since she's immune to it.

It isn't suggestive of madness. It is suggestive of show writers trying to show that Danny Is Strong Woman. Dumb, dumb, dumb writing, but not suggestive of anything other than Girl Power.

Elsewhere, it was speculated that Jon is one of 3 dragon riders. First he has to be introduced to the creature. The writers seem to be setting the table for such an introduction.

I don't think she went off the rails but consider that her father had a reputation for madness because he burnt alive the people that opposed him. It just seems like a bad optic for any child of the Mad King to threaten to burn someone alive.

Danny, John and Tyrion. I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't the dragon choosing John that ultimately convinces Daenerys to ally with him.

Sansa referenced Targaryen's burning Starks too. I think Dany has a cooking or two left in her.

So what does Cersei do to Ellaria Sand? Is Ellaria Euron's wedding gift?

Pass...

 

[OneTrickPony]

Whatever it is, I am sure there will be dozens or maybe hundreds of columns about how misogynist Game of Thrones is after it happens.

IDK...with three major characters sans huevos, I'm thinking more misanthropic...

 

[OneTrickPony]

She is a firebug. It would be an interesting way to end the show.

Shawn Colvin could do "Dany came home with a vengeance..."

Girl power is a clear theme...

The first time he meets a dragon should be interesting...

Found a great YouTube Thrones channel. A little late on this topic, but those interested in Varys vs Littlefinger see below:



I personally don't think either has done much in the last few seasons. Both have sort of been floating around after being extremely influential early on. But Littlefinger started this whole mess so I'll go with him. Although, Varys is the better character imo; Littlefinger's schtick is getting a little old.

Lots of other good content on the page. Check it out.

Of course, Olenna is the best example of that. And most current viewers don't realize that Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel was a hot woman who fought like a man (but was also a brilliant physicist). None of these characters pull off that level of sexy, feminine and completely capable the way she did.

She would be the hottest person on the show if she were in her prime.

Diana brings out the Steed in all of us...

According to the writers in the bit after the show is over . . . the scene is supposed to harken back to when Arya told Ned that the getting married to a lordling "is not me." Nymeria recognizes Arya, but she reflects Arya's wild, independent spirit. Going to back to the North and settling down "is not her."

Settling down? That's a bit of a leap from the writers. Nymeria is missing her shot to kill some white walkers. Arya + direwolf is bad, bad news for anyone who would cross them.

Yeah, I never listen to the writers bit at the end. Useless commentary. It just happened that it was the first piece that popped on while I was looking for the remote to turn the TV off.

Danny, John and Tyrion. I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't the dragon choosing John that ultimately convinces Daenerys to ally with him.

I thought Bran (sp?) would be the through dragon rider, not Tyrion.

My question, if Jon returns, does Sansa give the North back go him?

 

[SubbaBub]

Jon comes through with dragons and dragonglass or they all die. He'll be fine.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Anyone else feel like what happened to the fleet is a really bad look for Varys?

Does Dorne pull out with the cute Sand chick and whatsherface hostage? Army is still out there regardless. But I wonder if Cersei can resist killing them, which will of course destroy leverage against Dorne they have and should value.

They really turned Euron's character around correctly quickly. From the end of S6 to that raving, murderous, Joker-laughing warlord in two episodes.

I first thought for a second Arya would encounter some snuck-far-South White Walkers when I saw her breath, but it was too bright out (Walkers don't just bring cold; they bring stormy night) and figured it was her wolf instead. That can't be the last time we see her and her pack; seemed like a pretty clear Chekhov's Gun to me.

(1) The third dragon rider is one of the hardest predictions to defend with real substance, but Tyrion is my guy for 3 reasons. First, I think there's a very strong chance that in the books Tyrion will be proven to be a Targaryean rather than a Lannister. Second, in both the books and the show they emphasize how much Tyrion has always loved dragons since he was a little boy when he wanted to ride one. Third, he is the best and most beloved character on the show.

(2) I think the show is working on a big Stark Reunion and don't expect any real infighting there. They really don't have enough episodes to fight each other and the dead.
