HBO's adaptation of Game of Thrones - Thread 2. There are a lot of nerds.

that wld be a funny resolution

i hope jon rots and his face falls of then a dog eats it but the dog takes off its face and its arya and she says "just havin a laff love" and then they both laugh and the place where jons face was is oozing puss and blood which just makes them laugh harder then danny looks at them with a super haughty expression and they stop laughing but only for a second

harsh man, harsh!

final scene jon snow thanking the wall

xpost

"good thing we had this wall huh guys" everyone laughs, roll credits

presumably the wall is coming down but the show has not at all seeded that possibility the way the books have

how did the books do it

jon: "just wish our old friend wall could talk, some of the stories he'd tell!!"

wall: "THE KING IN THE NORTH"

laughter.

i hope the night king leads his army to the wall and gives a really impassioned patriotic speech there to his walkers, like "come here to this gate. Mr. Snow, open this gate. Mr. Snow, tear down this wall!"

zombie hoards march to the wall
stand around smoking for a while
decide to get some dinner

there is a subplot to mance and friends north of the wall where they are trying to find a legendary horn that will bring the wall down when it is blown. there are other related bits of lore scattered but that is the main thrust of it

night king gon get that horn

Jaime going to add Queenslayer to his curriculum vitae imo, has prophetised by witch (Mel?) in the hut a couple seasons ago.

skipped last couple seasons, watched the last two episodes - the ascendance of various redemptive female figures made me think maybe there is something thematically going on about the age of men passing before an age of women, altho Jon Snow's continual presence obfuscates that a bit, so maybe not.

also show is still best described as expensively gratuitous ie tons of money spent in the service of a ton of narratively/structurally unnecessary gore/violence/nudity it gets p tiresome

The part where the little kids stab Pycelle to death was pretty gratuitous (not money-wise, but just unnecessary). Like, just becuase these kids do some spying for Qyburn doesn't mean they are up for shivving a dude.

Pycelle was a threat to Qyburn ... now Qyburn can have his job.

omg whatd he do w it

Yeah, I just mean the part where suddenly the kids are these cold-blooded killers.

x-post

maybe Qyburn gave them drugs like the child soldiers in Africa?

What, like these drugs? https://youtu.be/nUPbLrANM8U?t=1m44s

Pycelle is a creep and the kids hated him imo

That poor prostitute that Pycelle waved off is never gonna get paid now. ;_;

xpost yeah but why wouldn't he ask? i guess he is stupid.

feel like the "the king in the north" chant could have gone on a bit longer. like maybe they could have all kept chanting it and then gone outside and walked around for a while, with more people joining in, until they eventually tired themselves out.

Would like to see this worked up as an outtake for the dvd box.

was there any other decipherable dialog from sis to Sean other than "Protect Him. Promise Me Ned"? We knew the "Promise Me Ned" part already

it was hard to hear her. i replayed it three times.

All I heard was "can never find out."

After a few more muffled words, closed captioning revealed that Lyanna said to Ned: “If Robert finds out, he’ll… You know he will Ned. Promise me you’ll protect him. Promise me.”

she said "this guy jon snow sucks lol no one can ever find out"

"always remember you are ned"

"your name is sean bean the actor"

"which one are you again? stannis?"

"my goal is to bone all of the kings"

where did arya get that lady's face and how did it make her a foot taller

There's definitely some of that in there but that's not a good description.

Then the wall goes "Scoobydoobydooooooooo!"

Episode ends.

There's definitely some of that in there but that's not a good description.

I know you guys are all into your maps and plotholes and shit but really this show exists entirely for one thing: money shots involving the inflicting of violence. It's about on the level of b-level gore movies in that way, it's just dressed up in ren faire finery and cgi

(I say this as a fan of b-level gore movies btw)

"That kid took King's Landing too fucking literal." - from a Reddit thread, made me lol

Any predictions for next season? Lannister-saga wraps up in four episodes (Jamie kills Cersei, fights for Dany, who is crowned)? Strange alliance between the Brotherhood, White Walkers and the House of Black and White? Everybody is dying until Samwell saves the day? The next season is the last one, right

are there not two more seasons?

no to literally all of that

Just all an excuse for violence? That doesn't sound like this show.

my prediction for next season is a single 24 hour event with bloody corpses being beaten over and over by mallets while we are all clockwork oranged to the screen, as shakey floats above weeping for us

that's not how money shots work

I'm laughin not cryin

gore starved GoT-watching idiots are released into a lightless pit to gnaw insatiably on flesh and only shakey can see that they are really eating themselves. from his seat in the heavens he swings the light of star upon them so they may see the truth and be freed

Many xps

Yeah, music was great although I was half expecting Simon Bates to start doing a voice over

that star? Sean Bean

xp

pretty sure most of my coworkers who follow this show and enjoy it immensely, and my wife, would thoroughly disagree, because they always find this aspect of the show to be the hardest to watch.
