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

kinda difficult to work in media and ignore media iirc

debating whether or not to see the premiere at George's theater with a bunch of nerds

nah see it with cool people who scroll through twitter the whole time

It's getting so dumb.

The Dracarys Burger (Drakaro Parkliapos) features a double Monterey Jack cheeseburger sourced from the finest head of cattle The Seven Kingdoms has to offer. Griddled by the fires of Drogon and Rhaegal, the burger is then topped with a fiery ShackSauce created from herbs and spices sourced from the conquered cities of Yunhai, Meeren and Astapor. The final touch are slabs of bacon imported from Essos—a Dothraki delicacy. Caution: may be too hot for non-Targaryens.

In keeping with Shake Shack’s (Rholītso Rhakion’s) commitment to premium ingredients + thoughtful sourcing, the Dragonglass Shake (Zīrtom Perzomy Rholītsos) is a prime example of the Wall to Table movement. Custard is frozen with packed snow harvested beyond the Wall and hand churned by members of the Night’s Watch. Final prep occurs in Winterfell, where the shake is topped with shards of Dragonglass imported from the caves of Dragonstone. Please note, supplies are limited as the Wall is currently undergoing major renovations.

Peak TV

We’re definitely never going to see the books are we

But you'll get the burgers.

Fair enough!

Still haven't gotten over the continent-spanning dragon rescue. I mean, seriously, what the fuck?

Dany should fly over King's Landing on the way back to Dragonstone (if she didn't already - isn't it directly between her base and where the attack on the Lannisters took place?), glower at Cersei, have the dragon shit on the Red Keep etc.

still mad at them for not doing this

I decided to read the books. We're watching every season again (now w the kids lol awkward). But after seeing the Red Wedding again, and Thom explaining why it's devestating, I really feel the need to read the books.

when the night king speaks for the first time in the show, it'll be to rap travis's part in this song

ISS LIT

I was way into all this but its taken so long to get to the conclusion I just lost interest :/ I mean I'll watch it! But you cant make people wait 18 months between seasons ffs.

I’ve found a good way to speed up rewatching the earlier seasons is to fast forward through any scene involving Theon.

I did that esp with the Ramsay Bolton stuff. And skipped most of the Dany stuff.

Yeah once she hits Mereen just zip right past that stuff

I stopped watching this a couple of seasons ago and I think my wife had stopped a season before that. But I have friends who are *super* into its return, which, fair enough, people like the show, but I still find funny, since it's a will they/won't they soap opera with ice zombies and dragons and magic and *I'm* the nerd for *not* watching it. Oh, how the world has changed.

I wish they were half as excited about the return of Deadwood.

i did that as well, plus almost all of the ramsey scenes, anything dorne, most of the animal/people torture scenes, some of the daenerys stuff

it's funny how fully a quarter of this widely beloved show is just complete garbage

i only watch it for the the car chases

i feel like this show could really be popular if it just got some press

at this stage i'm just watching to see how sean bean manages to pull it off. i bet he thought they were joking when they said he would play every character in this show for the rest of his life. humour aside he has been a revelation - let the beans keep coming that's my take!

some of the bean cgi involved has been incredible - both the times when it makes people look more like sean bean or eerily similar (the beany valley) or the times when it looks nothing like him but you know in your heart it is he.

i'd be into this show if it could be cross-promoted somehow, possibly with a bobblehead

Think about this: Who else has a throne? The Burger King, that's who.

Jay Z and Kanye, Solomon Burke, Elvis ...

i was totally burnt out on this show but as we get so close to it coming back i have to admit i'm excited to see it wrap up. i don't have a lot of confidence in them ending it in a satisfying way but it's hard to watch so much of a show over such a long period of time and not have feelings about it coming to an end even if it maybe should've ended two seasons ago. (cf himym)

A solid 1/4 of the source material is garbage too tbf

25 HOUR EPISODES! THE RISE OF HODOR! THE MOST BORING FAN THEORIES BEING TRUE! LITTLEFINGER GETS RESURRECTED ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER FUCKER. MOAR TELEPORTING!. Can't wait my friends, can't wait.

excited for this to end so I never have to think about it again

I'm hoping this season is heavy on Dorne stuff.

agree - they never explored dorne enough. a good start to the season imo would be some sort of storm which leaves dany isolated and alone in a foreign land.

Rooting for the Night King and that the entire thing is a metaphor for global warming to piss off all of the fanboys. Night King 2020!

Right! Like, the Sandals resort they used as the primary filming location for the Dorne scenes probably had a pretty sweet activity room, spa and parking lot. Why didn't we get to see those parts of Dorne culture?

All the Dorne stuff as depicted on the show was dumb as hell. As I'm re-watching, really only the first 2 seasons were great.
My memory of the last few seasons is pretty hazy. I remember the battles being impressively staged, but that's about it.

Doubt they're going to introduce new locations at this point. All depends how far south the undead get (I feel like there has to be some payoff on Dany's vision of a destroyed snowy Iron Throne room back in season 2 but seems like that would involve killing off pretty much everyone and jumping forward in time per episode a lot more). Rooting for the Night King to get more than 30 seconds of scene in the opener.

i don't follow the fan theory stuff that closely, but i must ask...

IS LITTLEFINGER ALIVE?

Maybe he converted to Lordoflightism

i guess the theory is that he worked out a deal with the incredibly boring people faceless men?

here's the key scene, from S7E5.

I figure if Littlefinger shows up, it's going to be Arya disguised as him

If that happens I hope she wrings several episodes worth of machinations out of it.

Ooh i kinda like that idea.

That was good, I really liked the “waiting for an old friend” payoff.

Wait who said that?
