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

"pretty sure the Jorah/Sam stuff is to set up Sam becoming Dani's maester"

I misread this and now I'm picturing Sam in full bondage gear, thanks.

did we talk about that cut from sam popping jorah's body pimples to the shot of the food??

It was mentioned

just checking

i keep thinking about it out of nowhere

my kid was very insistent that we get a chicken pot pie the other day while we were at Trader Joe's and he must have wondered why my face kept turning ashen.

It wasn't as good as the soup/shit/books cutting but I hope they'll think of something else.
Me, Myself And Irene is the high watermark with shit/ice cream.

Scheiss cream

i like how jorah came out of being cured of grayscale just looking like he had a particularly bad case of the chicken pox

kudos to the GoT effects team for making grayscale removal look like picking at your nastiest, most infected scab from when you were a kid

and how engineered garments continue to sponsor his wardrobe xpost

Jorah's survival increasing disappointing in the face of all the characters who have kicked it since last season's finale.

yeah it's hard to imagine they have something genuinely interesting in store for him

Gotta think he'll be cutting up some ghouls with longclaw before things are over

if you believe that his path will cross w/Sam's again (that "goodbye" was more of a "see you later" imo), you wonder if he'll have a hand in the battle against the night king. maybe his greyscale has rendered him immune to something.

one does not simply walk into a bout w/greyscale and remain unchanged~

Itchier skin probably

maybe he'll have a heart-warming reunion with his niece, or great-niece, or whatever relation the badass precocious tween of Bear Island is to him

maybe she'll give him some tough love about the slavery thing and real talk, like "Uncle Jorah, that Targaryen girl just isn't that into you. Get yourself a Northern girl."

old Sam wakes up from his nap and remembers he's actually been procrastinating for six years on finishing the last instalment of his book

Or last ep, Jon Snow goes off to have a shower, walks in the room and there in the shower its NED STARK this was all a dream the end.

you wonder if he'll have a hand in the battle against the night king. maybe his greyscale has rendered him immune to something.

This is pretty much the only worthwhile place his character could go at this stage.

yeah heroic death to save another surely on the cards

Daenerys presumably

hopefully there's a chance for her to reject him one final time as he lies dying

Judging by the last episode she's definitely been at the coke on that voyage so anything goes right now.

Clearly this will end with her and Jon Snow riding a dragon into the sun together, which they will reignite with their passion, reheating this hunk of this globe and melting all the snow monsters.

next episode has leaked.

It's Friday. DGAF

i can wait the 2 days (or ya know longer if it came to it)

according to some ancient proverb - a steaming pile of turd in the hand is nay fucking better than - something else - that doesn't sound very fucking good - a couple of days fucking later.

who shits in their own hand is the question i pose to you

I really enjoyed it. Thought maybe you guys would enjoy having an extra two days to shit all over it.

The quality is horrid tho.

That's what we've all been saying.

yeah we have it but arent gonna watch it - its very compressed and looks shit

It's probably from before they CGI'd the dragons in or something.

I thought the ta-ta towel product placement was a bit gauche

The quality for the final 15 minutes reaches some sub 80s Betamax pirate video level shit

jaime has been stealing the show this season

It's amusing to me that they keep using the name Dickon as a joke since Dickon Hinchliffe (ex-Tindersticks) scored a previous HBO series, Luck. (I don't know why I know that)

Theres too many similar names in the story on that note as well. Dickon, Rickon, Vickon, Rickard, Thoros, Davos...

Asha, Osha, Yara, Arya, etc.

That was stressful

lol @ three main characters coming within hair's breadths of dying in the same scene

Arya's fight/swordplay skills are dope.

I can't tell if the sparring scene was "fan service" or just a ton of fun, but IDGAF. I do actually wonder if Maisie did that kip-up herself or if it was a stunt person.

petroglyphs in cave so fucking stupid

I admired the fact that the first men invented permanent blue paint just to color in the eyes of the walkers

i've complained about the predictability and fan service of this season as much as anyone, but goddamn I thought that battle was amazing. Some of those scenes of Bron being chased, the whole thing was just great.

A show was dragons and magic and evil zombie necromancers and cave drawings of mythical "forest children" but the fact that they had blue dye is what crosses the line for you?

Some of those scenes of Bron being chased, the whole thing was just great.

I actually couldn't believe he survived this episode. They did that extremely well.

If Jaime doesn't drown I'll have to chalk it up to the same physics that got Dany's army across the continent in apparently three days or so. Don't care, having too much fun.
