GoT Season Seven

[OneTrickPony]

All I can say is...to all those backing Littlefinger to win the GOT...you know who you are...my deepest condolences on your recent loss. Console yourself with the fact that your loss is humanity's gain...

 

[HuskyHawk]

Because she hasnt sentenced anyone to death via execution.

All her kills are revenge hits.

By all rights Littlefingers head should have been on a block yesterday.

Indeed you finally see the light...half-way. This was a revenge hit. It was a collective revenge hit for Sansa and Arya and all the Starks. This was not the King in the North sentencing him to death. They laid out his crimes in a semi public forum solely so that those in the Vale understand the reasons, and that they don't lose support. Why do you think the murder he was accused of was the head of house Arryn? It was politically brilliant.

Actually is was a "trial"

'Game of Thrones' Recap, Season 7 Episode 7: The Show That Just Ghosted Everyone

This writer is clearly plagiarizing this board.

Yes, the story has suffered, but this writer clearly forgot that there were 6 previous seasons setting up, in the background, the fact that winter was coming, and with it many terrible things from the North. Now that that's happened, she's pissed? She's more shallow than the writing she's criticizing . . .

 

[intlzncster]

Littlefinger and Varys were great players of the Game. It is hard to make them as loveabley effective when the plot turns to Zombie Fighting. There isn't as much call for intrigue and backstabbing.

Tyrion's character poses much the same problem. He is a thinker like Littlefinger and Varys, but now the story is turning to Hero Stuff and there are only so many brilliant maneuvers to assign. John and Danny and the rest get most of those plotlines.

Once the white Walkers are defeated (god willing the world gets stuck in eternal winter and jon becomes the Night King), it'll get back to strategy a little bit.

But at some point, it was always gonna come down to swords.

 

[intlzncster]

So what happens to Pipsqueak Arryn now that Littlefinger is dead? I hope they don't redeem his character. I would like to see Sansa manipulate her way onto that throne.

Just to rub it in August's face. She is officially the head of House Stark. Everyone knows that right? John is the Targaryean heir once his parentage comes out and Sansa the True Lady of Winterfell.

Technically, it's Bran, even though he claims he's the 3-eyed raven. Normal people (everyone else) would say he is.

 

[intlzncster]

I agree. You re making my point for me.

Waiting 2 or 3 seasons too long to kill them waters down their deaths a lot. The audience forgets some of the power moves they have pulled and their accomplishments don't seem as meaningful since they happened 4,5,6 seasons ago.

Since they haven't had any use for them, why drag them along for so long? Their deaths would be so much more shocking/impactful if they happened when they were actually doing stuff.

But Tyrion might win the game. And he's probably the most liked character in the whole show, so if he does kark it, it'll be pretty damn impactful.

"Don't matter who did what to who at this point. Fact is, we went to war, and now there ain't no going back. I mean, shytt, it's what war is, you know? Once you in it, you in it. If it's a lie, then we fight on that lie. But we gotta fight."

-Slim Charles

Nice one.

 

[intlzncster]

I had more correct predictions this season than anyone. Go through thread.

hahaha this is such a cesspool move.

 

[intlzncster]

Why not a Lady Stark? Show me where the motto "One who passes the sentence shall swing the sword" has the caveat "except for women". You can't.

You think little lady Mormont wont swing the sword on her own? Everyone who watches the show knows she absolutely would. Why can she, but not Sansa?

Not even sure little lady mormont could lift that dagger...

Shed manage.

 

[intlzncster]

Come on. Clegan Bowl has been predicted by everyone and their mother. Even citrusdog has gotten that one right. Only Adub is foolish enough to change the prediction now.

#GradeInflation

hahahahah

 

[intlzncster]

It's ok to admit she's no longer the dumb 13 year old from season 1. We've all been there.

She's still dumb tho. Just not quite as dumb.

 

[intlzncster]

Shed manage.

I had to read that statement like 4 times. I first read 'ménage à trois in a shed." Scratching my head

I dont bother with punctuation on a mediocre conference submarining sports team fan board.

If your eyes are that good, you should try going to Alaska and seeing what countries you can see.

Apparently Russia is quite visible if Palin is to be believed.

 

[intlzncster]

Thats not the Stark way. With leadership comes responsibility.

I'm not a Sansa fan, but the Stark way seemed to get yourself killed pretty damn quick. So maybe it's for the best.

all those people are Dead because of Sansa.

Not Rickard or Brandon. Starks have a long line of dunderheads.

Agreed Sansa fits that mold well

So what's the deal with Jamie? Is he just headed to Winterfell to say I'm all you get because Cersai ****ed us all?

kind of stupid (and unlike) Cersie to put all her secret plans on the road to Winterfell like that.

 

[HuskyHawk]

You believe everything you read on the internet? Watch the scene again. It was a mock trial put on for show, and they do not mention him being sentenced to die.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Yes, and to warn them of the ships picking up the Golden Company. That should allow Dany to deploy dragons to burn Euron's fleet before he can bring those troops to Westeros.

"Fake News"

who are you? Trump?

The first link is Time frickin magazine.

Holy lolz.

And you believe that there is anyone at Time, or the NY Times, or the WaPost or FoxNews that has more insight into an episode they watched than any other person who watched it would? It's not fake, it's lazy bad headline writing designed to get clicks.

 

[Fishy]

Yeah, that whole thing was left hanging in the air.

He really has nothing to stick around for - his sister will eventually kill him and even he has to admit that the incest has been a little stale since she went with the shorter hairstyle. His best bet is to go hang with Tyrion and just take some time for himself.

I think Brienne might factor in there even more than Tyrion.

Posting this in an appropriate thread:

I have to give Nelson credit the first time he has ever been spot-on about anything. He has been adamant from the beginning that magic will ruin this series, and it really has. Baelish, one of the great villains of the show, gets taken out and all his great (albeit diabolical) work dashed because Bran can see literally everything that has ever happened. And I don't buy that they were playing in to his hand all this time knowing how he was trying to manipulate them. Thought Starks are dumb.

Or was this supposed to be some big series of events that Baelish didn't see coming, all the way back to conspiring to have Bran murdered? Some disagree, but I believe it was out of character for him to beg the way he did. I thought he would have pleaded his case harder and then Arya's just like okay dude nobody here likes you and guts him. If the effects of his whispers in Robyn's ear for years now (think how easily he manipulates people of average intelligence), and not seeing it as a betrayal by the Starks against the Vale, will be further peeved. But they only have 6 more episodes to squeeze all this last stuff in. So probably not and that whole story dies off and meanwhile, something else just drags on...

...I'm really just done with Theon. They're already giving us several fine redemption stories in Jora, Jaime, and Clegane. Why does this storyline have to continue and take up what little time the writers have left?

Euron's fake-out and his reasoning at the time didn't really make much sense if we're assuming it was pre-planned.

Kinda miffed that we missed out on Tyrion's deal with Cersei is. Is she actually pregnant or is she still lying? Is that what Tyrion is negotiating over, that the baby will be part of the nobility in Danny's new world since she can't have children? Saw that theory out there.

No other show could get away with not providing some context for the zombie army SEVEN SEASONS INTO THE SHOW.

The episodes are fun, but the thread that Game of Thrones is holding my interest is getting thinner and thinner. I am not that interested in zombies vs. dragons, and even LOTR didn't give Gandolf knowledge of everything.
