HBO's "Game of Thrones"

[BigOrange15]

I rewatched on my newer 4k Vizio tv tonight. I finally see why poeple are so pissed. It was hard to tell what was going on, at times. The ironic thing is my living room tv is an old Samsung plasma in 1080p. While I thought the episode was a little dark, I didn't have any trouble keeping up with what was going on.

What kind of 4K Vizio do you have? I have one too and had zero issue.

So...I hope you other white-hat fans are girded...This is where it all goes to hell-o for us...The good guys have survived death incarnate, and everybody feels good about that, so GoT is going to gut and twist us from here on out..

Oh well..we always knew it was coming, so might as well take our medicine, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

I did think, however, the library scene took away from the flow of the show. Do Wights have super hearing or something?

Sorry so far behind. I agree. I also did not really understand why she went down there. I also think she could have killed them all or held them until The Hound and Beric rescued her.

 

[drvenner]

Some of you are a hard audience to please. I thought it was amazing (particularly Theon's arc) I was afraid everyone was going to die and we would have to root for Cerci.

I think I would root for the Night King over Cersei lol.

 

[drvenner]

Maybe this will be the split between the show and the books.

Arya in the show, Azor Ahai in the books

I hope the books drift away from the show as much as possible.

 

[drvenner]

ya... until it wasnt. was a disaster lol.

Really good cinema though.

 

[drvenner]

Bran gave her the knife. We should have known. Don't take anything for granted on this show.

How did I miss that? When did that happen?

 

[drvenner]

The Night King being evil for evils sake was lazy as hell.

Disagree

 

[drvenner]

The poor Friend Zone guy. He had to be the one who saved Dany (although I still think she will die) At least she cried over him.

Jorah is one of my favorite characters. If he got to pick a way to die , that would definitely have been it.

 

[drvenner]

But they have dragons.

You know Qyburn has something for the dragons tho.

 

[drvenner]

What was up with The Hound? Not very impressive during the heat of battle... sounded like he was ready to quit until "Tell her that!".

Fire is his kryptonite. He has never been able to overcome that fear. I think he finally will to kill Gregor.

How did you miss that? She cut Littlefingers throat with it last year. Bran gave it to her in the godswood.


Plus the library scene which most normal people think was brilliant, was put in specifically to break up the dog pile after dog pile battle fatigue that sets in when watching super extended battle episodes with nothing but spear stabs, sword and battle axe hacking and arriw shooting. It was brilliant to break up that monotonous "flow" like they did, and reaplace it in a quiet Hitchcock like suspense filled atmosphere..I loved it.

 

[drvenner]

Isn't there some kind of backstory involving his brother burning him?

Just that his brother its is an amoral psychopath.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

You know Qyburn has something for the dragons tho.

And they have made that sooo freakin obvious. It is in the freaking opening sequence for goodness sake...The Dragons are going down...sad.

I only rewatched the last two episodes of Season 7. Thanks for the info.

 

[drvenner]

Well, now that the battle with the NK is done, will Jaime return to Cersei?

I think he kills her.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Wasn't that the knife from the first season?

How..seriously how did anybody that seriously follows this show not know that? And I'm not being a jackass, I really don't see how major stuff like that slips right over peoples heads?

 

[drvenner]

Okay, I laughed way too hard at this. Time for bed.

That is hilarious

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Yeah...Gregor is one of the most brutal and sadistic evil characters in ASoIaF. He is also a big stupid lump.

 

[drvenner]

Dothraki were free cannon fodder. That is all.

Their purpose was to show just how strong the WW army was.

 

[drvenner]

I freaking loved it. Every salty comment I’ve seen has been from a book reader that just wanted the show to go their way and it didn’t.

I'm a book reader and I loved it. I hope the books diverge a lot to minimize the spoilers.

 

[Grand Vol]

So, who dies tonight?

My money is on Brienne, Sansa or Arya.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I think he kills her.

I think when she has Bronn kill Tyrion, it will set him at her. I think Bronn will succeed in killing Tyrion, but miss Jaime, and then Jaime will kill him, and he will tell Jaime as he is dying that Certs gave him a wagon load of gold to do it before he dies...Then Jaime will end up killing her.

Of course this is just one option that I see maybe happening. I could see how it goes differently.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I think he kills her.

He is the second born of the two...That is another thing that people miss, even though it is referenced in the books over and over again here and there throughout the story. I can't remember if the show has ever nade that known.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

No army had ever stood up to a Dothraki charge before...except once in history by a army of Unsullied, which is one of the big things where they earned their(the Unsullied)reputation..that is another thing that people have missed.

An army of zombies has no fear though, hell they have no apparatus for fear or any other emotion, they literally just do what the NK makes them do...they were an army of puppets, so the Dothraki charge had no effect on them.
