I’ve been calling her heel turn to my friends for several seasons now. I hit them with a snarky “well who saw that coming” as the shit was going down lol.

Starkiller Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 So, we saw Varys writing 2 separate scrolls about Jon being the true heir to the throne. How many more did he write and send out to the lords of the 7 kingdoms? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somedude Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Bran saw a shadow of a dragon over kings landing on fire a couple of seasons ago. This was pretty much always going to happen. Edited May 13, 2019 by Somedude Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolfolksunclesuncle Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) First off, visually, this episode was pretty fucking amazing. The story was mostly trash, but I had fun watching the episode. Here's random thoughts: ---Apparently Arya is fucking invincible. She and a white horse seemed to be the only survivors in the entire city. What luck! ---So, we went from an incredibly brave Arya whom was willing to infiltrate the entire WW army to fight the (nearly indestructible Night King 1-on-1) to Arya making the long journey to kill Cersei in much the same way, but right at the final step, Hound says a few sentences that revert her back into a scared little girl running to escape from the city---WTF? They did have a touching emo moment that literally defied nearly everything that's been developed in these characters. ---Jon Snow is a little bitch. And, in decent writing, would die at the hands of Dany because he doesn't have 1/10th the savagery or cunning that Dany possesses. ---Tyrion seems invincible as well. How many times will he fuck up, commit treason, or just simply slip from the grasp of serious consequence. What luck! ---The Varys execution was an excellent idea. Though, I think the show visually botched it. ---Where the fuck is Bronn? He's a great character that's........on vacation? ---Clegane Bowl was a lot of fun. The obvious death was going to be by fire for one or both and it ended well. But, the Hound must drink a hell of a lot of milk for his bones to withstand multiple grasps and situations in which we've seen the Mountain turn various bones to dust. ---Also, what happened with the Hound's seeming connection that he acquired when looking into the fire with the Lord of Light? Hell, what happened to the entire Lord of Light storyline? Did it end with the Red Woman? Was the entire existence of the Lord of Light to defeat the Night King?........Bueller?......Bueller? ---Cersei and Jaime's finality was complete garbage. There's no other way to say it. It was a moment written for the romantic emo fans. ---Euron and Jaime's fight was waaaaayyy too forced. ---Dany's turn has been handled disappointingly. She's always been a villain as @cenj has pointed out (if you take a step back and look at her actions), but the ultimate "snap" was terribly developed. Believe it or not, I'm not a hater who wants to shit on everything. I honestly want this show to end amazingly as I've put far too much time into watching and contemplating it's outcome. But, as it stands now, it's a great story that went from not giving a fuck to a story that only exists to please it's audience. 5 hours ago, Justafan said: I hated it and I fucking loved it. Whatever else it was (and I hate that Danny became the predictable mad queen) it was epic. The way mountain crushed Qyburn's skull, the fight with Jamie and Euron, the Dragon just wasting the city. I've hated the way this thing went down but damn if that wasn't awesome. It was definitely incredible visually and a really fun episode! 4 hours ago, Justafan said: I'm still hoping Tyrion ends up on the throne somehow. At this point it kinda has to be Tyrion and Arya ruling at the end as the writers have overtly and obviously favored their existence and survival. They MUST have divine providence to escape multiple unbelievably impossible scenarios.... Edited May 13, 2019 by woolfolksunclesuncle to tag cenj!

Popular Post OILERMAN Posted May 13, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 7 hours ago, Rogue said: We went on the GOT pub crawl and Dany was easily the favorite character. I see it. Dany was the women's light of hope. My wife loves Cersei, even though she was evil. Merely because they put the effort into her arc. They just failed to give Dany the same arc. And also they have given Dany a hero arc, which has now been blown up. Given some more time and effort to conclude this arc, I think would have went a long way. I think if females wanted to complain about how women were portrayed Brienne is a better complaint. She's an equal to men throughout the show, finally gets knighted then has the romantic fling with Jamie and ends up bawling as he leaves her. They should have left out that romance. titanruss, oldschool, OzTitan, and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
