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

so...that little faraway look Tyrion gives in that scene with Dany...we are to presume he just realized he's falling in love with her?

felt like he felt appreciated for who he was for the first time in his life, a kind of love maybe but not romantic

i appreciated the finale executing a bunch of characters but i half expect them to come back as green fire zombies or some shit

My point was more that the audience shouldn't be very intrigued by this development. The fact that they (the Lannisters) are broke never got resolved either afaik so there's really nothing going for her. I guess she can finally go after Snow White now that she has the right outfit for it.

Jaime perhaps is likely more rattled by the fact that she actually carried out the thing he explicitly stopped by killing the last person that threatened to do it, however more isolated it was (Mad King was trying to blow up the whole city iirc)

wouldnt be surprised to see some sort of jaime-cersei murder suicide in one of the final two seasons

Zombies are strictly a north of the wall thing and Mountain is more Frankenstein's monster as the one exception south of it.

Agreed!

jaime-cersei def got some unfinished biz and ya cersei is super weak but i dont think she cares shes on some hedonistic death cult shit at this point

on the real tho i wonder if jon's resurrection will be cost-free or if he'll start to rot like benjen

benjen's statement that the wall has great magic to keep zombies from passing seems to obviate a lot of problems, idk

She may not care but what can she possibly do. Shouldn't take too long for the united armies of the South and East to sail directly to King's Landing so there isn't much time either.

xp

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

Benjen wasn't simply brought back to life he was sort turned into a half wight as well. Different category. Otherwise Ser Beric Dondarrion would have some serious issues by now.

yeah does benjen's wall chat mean that everyone can relax and the wall will take care of things?

that wld be a funny resolution

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
