HBO's "Game of Thrones"

[Grand Vol]

 

[GetEmVols]

So Dany will die by her own dragon at Jon Snow’s command because he is the true dragon king. This will happen after Dany tries to burn him and he is unaffected.

What other predictable things will happen next week?

 

[Grand Vol]

And WTF is Bronn?

 

[zeppelin128]

Those were placed by the mad King and were the reason Jaime killed him.

I thought that was a nice touch, Dany finishing what her pops started. Seems fitting in GOT. Everything is cyclical and nothing really changes.

 

[Weezer]

She'll have Tyrion put to death by dragon fire. Jon has to do it-- probably when Dany decides Sansa is a traitor too.

I don't know what I wanted or needed but this show was not it. Maybe I'm processing like when VOLS get beat by Florida and I start wanting to fire a coach, and then I get over it.

There are certain decisions I have disagreed with, but the biggest weakness of this season is the rush to try and complete arcs. Not every outcome has been disappointing, but the story to get there often is. We're used to more detailed, in-depth writing, and this season has had little of that.

Man...I expected the turn of Dany, but it was so damn predictable.

They were setting up for the Mad Queen and definitely not hiding that. I was surprised at the carnage she dealt though.

I see a lot of issue with “predictability” this season and I just disagree.

It’s not been “Red wedding” like but this show was always going to end up in battle; there’s no way to make that premise unpredictable.

 

[drvenner]

If you’re disappointed by that, square up.

Predictable and stupid

 

[Paper_Towel]

I thought Jon and GW were going to get at it right after the battle with the Golden Company started.

Yeah, I thought a battle royal was gonna start.

 

[LotteryPick]

Predictable and stupid

Go ahead and expound.

 

[drvenner]

Ultimately power corrupts.

Is that the message?

No. The message is that GRRM is a peckerhead, unless HBO seriously diverged.

 

[zeppelin128]

And WTF is Bronn?

It is like they really didn't know what to do with him this season.

 

[VolNExile]

And WTF is Bronn?

He’ll have to rescue Tyrion next week so he’ll get his dang castle.

 

[drvenner]

Incredible episode.... loved it all. This feels very fulfilling. Dany is now the Mad Queen of a city in ruins.

It is ashen. I hated it. I already knew that power corrupts. I didn't need it handed to me.

When GoT first started, the journey was just as enjoyable as the destination. They've forgotten that this season and skipped over the journey.

Another way of looking at the Arya/Sandor story:

Sandor's death paid for Arya's life.

Go ahead and expound.

It sucked. Not creative at all. Dany is the Mad Queen? Come on.

Don't go all McGill on us.

Exactly.

 

[drvenner]

He was right. I did like the Cleagane Bowl.

 

[JCP201]

I had a thought that we were being mislead-- Dany was not going to be the mad queen, but still going to die with the last dragon,-- and we'd see hunky guy like in her vision (which was ash instead of snow, I guess) This may still happen, but I don't want a happy little scene for her now. I wanted Jaime to strangle Cersei. Varys turned too quickly, and Tyrion ratting him out didn't feel right. The hound/Mountain was a good scene, but Hound was one of my favorites. I knew it was coming though.

For my own curiosity, what would have been creative? Dany wins a close battle?

What outcome here couldn’t be predicted?

Out of all the things Dany is not, she’s never been a liar. She gave her word to Tyrion she wouldn’t blow up the city if the bells range. When the bells sounded, I expected it to be over. And instead she torched it.

 

[VOLNPA]

Man...I expected the turn of Dany, but it was so damn predictable.

She has always been dark. She has always had that in her. Her brother was an ass but she enjoyed his murder. She has no issue burning anyone she doesn't like. We just liked who she was opposing. Now she gets dark on some innocents and she is suddenly different?

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

What color eyes she got?
