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

Loved all the getting the gang back together stuff in this episode but whatever Littlefinger is up to with Arya is easily the most intriguing.

Am I right in thinking that everyone going North of the Wall has had some kind of death based or supernatural experience except the ginger Wildling dude?

Confused why they're risking Gendry on this stupid capture-a-zombie mission when he's seriously needed forging dragonglass into weapons

at least they would maybe bring some of these with them? since they're, you know, going to fight white walkers?

I want to see gendry play don't break the ice out there

i kinda thought it would have been clever to have the guards satisfied by the fermented crab & walk off before tyrion came by, because we were all *expecting* it to end in violence ... that the scene ended w/ their faces smashed in was kind of more predictable/cliche than if they'd managed a clean escape imo

a minor criticism but i think the show could do to keep things more unpredictable

I enjoyed the slow development from "please hammer don't hurt 'em" into "It's All Good" into "here comes the hammer"

They can probably spare the half hour it takes to get past the wall and back.

i'm sure it'll be fun to watch but this capture mission is indeed stupid, like a fabricated red herring to pass another episode.

the whole jon/dragon scene was p funny. i guess it wasn't intentional but when dany said, all proud and beaming "i consider them my children" and jon snow just did this look that was like "eh, okay, moving on..."

everyone has those weird cousins...

even if they bring back one zombie i'm not sure that'd illustrate the gravity of the situation

Why doesn't Dany just hop on a dragon and pop over the wall for a quick look-see? Seems like it couldn't take more than a few hours...

The ravens made the trip from winterfell in a few minutes, after all.

even if they bring back one zombie i'm not sure that'd illustrate the gravity of the situation

"I actually already own one. It's like eight feet tall. Super fuckin useful."

it'd be good if they fail and one of them has to dress up as a wight, ideally with a sheet that has eyeholes in it

This has to further the plot somehow other than it being a really stupid idea

I remain baffled as to how they will grab one and do a runner, given what happened at Hardhome.

so, Cersei's supposed pregnancy. Lying, or gonna miscarry? She isnt bringing anything to term - the prophecy said she'd have 3 kids and theyd die and thats already happened.

Did the prophecy say she'd only have 3 kids? I can't remember.

I just relooked it up, it did. That she'd have 3 kids, they'd all die, and then her "valonqar" would strangle her. Valonqar apparently means little brother. She always assumed this meant Tyrion. What if it actually turns out to be Jaime?

maybe it isn't really his kid, little bro finds out, and that's just another brick in the wall?

xp - though it's from the same language that doesn't specify gender ...

Well ok, but Cersei doesnt have a sister...

arya has become so loathsome, I hope baelish kills her

the episode preview at the end of the credits has them running back at a full sprint, hard to see how they can beat the white walker zerglings

they got like three episodes worth of bran in a sled being pulled by holdor outrunning white walkres though so who knows

hmmm, if I'm fighting the white walkers, i stand about 10 feet out into the water and throw dragonglass at them

[qyburn sees fast approaching white walker horde] i know... giant crossbow with piece of dragonglass glued to the arrow

the whole jon/dragon scene was p funny. i guess it wasn't intentional but when dany said, all proud and beaming "i consider them my children" and jon snow just did this look that was like "eh, okay, moving on..."

what was with qyburn getting sickburned by jaime twice in the last episode? ok, not sickburned, i guess, but qyburn would be like "hi-yeeeeee jaime!" and jaime would be like "i'm on my way to make out with my sister, i cannot talk"

first I thought qyburn was up to something nefarious but later I thought he was consulting cersei about her pregnancy and jaime was like "what's this guy always doing around?" and qyburn was like "oh boy I know a secret!"

the most nutso fun plot scenario is for one of the 7 samurai to be wightified (Jorah most likely) then, when brought to show the queen(s), for one of them (Cersei) to be wightified herself.

Night Queen; you heard it here first.

so she would go all white and her face would freeze in place and she would just stare at everything
how would we be able to tell

would she give birth to a zombie baby????

if jorah becomes wightified hes just that guy in your party who always becomes inflicted with status ailments and you dont want to waste anymore fenix downs to cure him

Euron is going to sail over to Eastwatch and get zomboed.

lol @ the Hounds Liver Stam stat.

*whispers* that's not the hound

yeah, the hound is the really blurry face just next to the really blurry face in the back

the hound has the fire stat!

oh god, its not is it. Well in my defence they are all bloody blurry!

+ 65% blurry means +65% stealth

In the book Mr. Wildling talks about an escapade with a bear.

i don't think there's enough time for much in the way of machinations and loyalty-switching at this stage of the game, it seems to be like the rest of it will be a pretty straightforward run: finishing off the conflicts south of the wall, uneasy alliances in order to defeat the Night King's army of the undead after that. my only theory is that at some point next season Cersei will become the Night Queen, just a full evil power-up. But that might be too ridiculous...maybe.

Not only that, surely his lineage could come in useful somehow. Like if he married Dany to combine the Targaryen and Baratheon dynasties.

what is there to like about arya? she's let vengeance take over her life, she was shown to have some empathy early on but by this point has killed dozens if not hundreds of people and seems to really enjoy it. she's self-righteous, self-involved and is now looking v greasy

more interesting as a character than she was previously. tbf she did see hundreds of men taunting her brother's corpse with a wolf's head rammed onto it, afair

Yes to all of Ogmor's points, yet I for one still root for her.
