GoT Season Seven

Hahaha we're so on the same page there. Damn near exactly. About 9 pages ago:

GoT Season Seven

I later posited that Jon is some sort of Arctic Aqua Man.

EDIT: I just realized how much I'm pissing about the lazy writing. Can't stop won't stop

Fickle Pack of Little Girls. Two episodes ago was the best! Top 5 Episodes!!! OMG. Now you all whine and prattle about Worst Season Ever and Rocktheworld makes multiple references to Dexter just in case we didn't hear him the first time.

Fickle gjrls. I don't know how you all linked your cycles up, but it is embarrassing.

Must've forgot I already said that. But please keep me out of this diatribe against people like Nelson who were anointing episodes and battles (note even he went back and re-watched and came back to say it was more meh) 30 seconds after they occur with no time taken to really process what they watched.

RTW don't jump the gun like that

It's ok. You ladies become forgetful during your time of the month. I understand.

And I know how irritable you get during yours. No worries, little dove

You've missed a bunch of the action apparently, as I mentioned previously: :GOT = Meyers:Walking Dead

Stop whinging.

I feel like that word should have a J in it.

Whinjing, or at least keep the e, whingeing.

I struggled with the spelling enough that I googled it. Doesn't mean what I found was correct, but I was happy to have some support for my choice.

Alas. there are no gifs available yet.

 

[SubbaBub]

I dont know. We will see.

I was right about Thoros dying last episode. I was wrong about Tormund, I was sure he was a goner. So my batting average aint that great. I could be wrong about Cleaganebowl, but its no reach or spoiler to say Cersei is definitely putting on kneepads for the night king. Who doesnt think that?

If not that was the last we will see of the Hound. Where else could he have been going?

I'm sure yours is the correct spelling. I just think it should be spelled so that it doesn't read the same a winging. Plus, bonus scrabble points.

I'm only about to turn 27 so Seinfeld was before my time, but I just read the plot. Holy wow.

But that does give some good bad-ending-inspiration that also involves a Green Day song

It comes to be revealed that the White Walkers are now a force of nature that the world to some degree depends on for its equilibrium, or some such (I remember links between magic, dragons, and the walkers so as long as Danny's dragons are around so too will be the walkers). Or that, as in World of Warcraft and its undead army led by the Lich King; where if the leader dies, the army of the dead will be free to run rampant across the world, effectively being even more dangerous. Thus, there must always be some Night King to rule them. Jon takes it on himself to become the Night King with some of his human will intact, to control and suppress the army of the dead so that they may fill their purpose without being a huge direct threat. Jon receives Dragonglass to the heart, and sits atop and relaxes into the Frozen Throne; the Game theme musically shifts in to and becomes a full-on "Wake Me Up When September Ends" instrumental as we zoom in on Jon becoming more Night Kingy and breathing an increasing amount of frost. His final breath brings in the credits.

Everyone throws a brick through their televisions

There have been some inferences, including from Martin himself is that in the end Winter wins and sweeps across Westeros. So, you aren't too far off on it being a possibly or the world hunting down Martin for it.

Watching the last two episodes of Turn last night, I became even more aware of what a train wreck this GoT season has been from a storytelling perspective. Turn wrapped up beautifully, with probably 5% of the budget that GoT has and limited flexibility because it is based on a true story. It still hit all the marks and reached a logical and interesting conclusion. GoT Season 6 feels like it was directed by Michael Bay. Cool special effects with a confusing story line and incoherent dialogue.

Did anyone else's moon blood come early because of the eclipse?

That's an actual thread one of adubs more crunchy female friends started on Facebook today.

If it eliminates Sansa I would call that acceptable collateral damage

Michael Bay, hey? Vegan Boy made that reference 3 pages ago. You both also think you need to reflect upon a show to determine whether it was entertaining.

In 's defense, here we are talking about this show two days after it aired, and a week after it was leaked.

Because it is great. Thank you HuskyHawk.

"So I think we were straining plausibility a little bit, but I hope the story’s momentum carries over some of that stuff."

As Taylor tells Variety, the Thrones team has been focusing on the “emotional experience” of Snow-cean’s Seven’s misguided mission rather than the particulars of how it unfolds.

“We tried to hedge it a little bit with the eternal twilight up there north of The Wall. I think there was some effort to fudge the timeline a little bit by not declaring exactly how long we were there"

Just what I said. People here keep making definitive statements about the timeline (crow flies in a single day) and yet there was no definitive indication of any of that.

The director wasn't going to outright admit that the plot and timeline was preposterous. This is as close as we are getting. Like I said, I don't really care. The criticism of this episode has been nearly universal and you are on an island but I do admit that many people are going far overboard. The show has never actually been going toe-to-toe with The Wire.

What do you mean? For a while it was an absolute tour de force. People who complained nothing happened are people who like Michael Bay movies. It was all subtlety and nuance.

Coming from someone who loves The Wire. Two of the best acted shows ever made.

Watched the "behind the episode". Apparently staying on the island around semi-frozen water was "the only" way that they could have possibly survived the scenario they found themselves in.

And the explanation for Benjen's death.... gears were ground

Just what I said. People here keep making definitive statements about the timeline (crow flies in a single day) and yet there was no definitive indication of any of that.

How long do you think it took Gendry to run back to the Wall? We got that final shot of him seeing it with the huge forest that laid between him and it, and that was after presumably some serious running already. How long do you think it took exhausted Gendry to run that last portion through the snow?

You're confusing definitive statements with statements of skepticism. We don't believe it is plausible for five dudes to survive more than a night exposed completely to the cold that the Winter brought on by the Night King produces (none of us are chemists, but I wonder how quickly already-freezing ice would re-freeze in those temperatures), with no food or water, after having already exerted themselves in the initial fight and chase.

Or hell, as long as it took for Gendry to run back to the Wall (seriously why didn't they go on horseback? Could've solved a massive part of this hole), get a raven to Dragonstone, and have Danny fly hundreds and hundreds of miles to their exact location. The longer that ice allegedly took to re-freeze, the longer they went without food or water. I believe it's nearly impossible for anyone to survive more than a couple days without water. Even if it only took her two nights to show up, they would literally be on death's door just in their condition, let alone if a few wights walked out to try the ice, or if one of the Walkers threw something at he ice themselves.

There's suspension of disbelief, and then there are things you roll your eyes at.
