Game of Thrones - HBO Season VI Thread - No Book Discussion OR Spoilers!

For everyone crying about Rickon Stark not zig zagging. I've been shot at before (Firearms not arrows lol) Your legs just run, you don't think on logic and eLIt8 tacticZ.. only instinct and you haul ass as hard as you can as fast as you can. For some people tactics may kick in but for others I'll tell you first you just fuarking sprint all out, and you can't change directions and sprint all out at the same time..

it would be much more efficient changing running speed in a straight line than to zig zag. Brb archer calculates you're going to be in 1 spot in a few seconds, sudden burst of speed or slowdown and he's missed the mark

Exactly. He could have EITHER run in zig-zags OR just change his speed dramatically, and his chances of survival would have improved tremendously. As to what that guy said, combining the two would have been a hard tactic to think of on the spot. Trying to run 500-800m to Jon's horse in a straight line is plain stupidity. In fact, Bolton could have experimentally learnt how to use a freaking catapult and still ended up killing him by the time he'd get to Jon's horse.

Damn, this thread's neckbeard haters just got cucked! Repped on recharge!

I was more impressed with Ramsey's shot than the fact that Rickon forgot to zigzag tbh.

It was a good shot agreed also take any old ****ty bow, they will fire an arrow at 120FPS. That arrow would have been coming at him at exactly 80mph once Bolton shot it. I'm not convinced a human teenager can do enough to avoid that from an experienced marksmen who knows how to lead a target.

Edit going full neckbeard so I can continue this no further lol

[i3oosted]

Christ, you *******s are STILL talking about zigzag gate?

Get over it already good lord.

the fact that it's even a complaint or even a topic of discussion is ridiculous lol

TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

[blackstar87]

Why didn't Rickon just run backwards so he could see the arrows coming?

I watched it three times since posting it here. It's so good.

[BericDondarrion]

He could have run diagonal too. Rushed at Tormund or Davos instead of Jon who was straight ahead. Or he could be a character who was important enough to have a sickening death scene, he was always groomed for this moment lol.

[Saint 3:16]

Let's just put an end to this, even if Rickon zip zag or looked back/ran backwards to see the arrow, Ramsay is way more cunning than a 13yr twerp and would have ordered all of his archers to set loose on him.

I'm surprised nobody moaned about that scene where Ramsay shoots a dying and very nearly dead Wun Wun in the eye instead of Jon who was right beside him. He knew he was fukd, shoulda shot Jon and died happy knowing he fukked everything up instead of going full 1v1 Achilles from Troy style.

But then again Melisandre would have resurrected him LOL

[I3igAl]

Shoulda just tossed them back at Ramsay.

its because ramsey is a phucked up dude that enjoys torturing people more than anything. he knew he was ****ed even if he killed jon.

[Finch000]

Lets be honest here if he tried that or the "zig-zag" that everyone keeps talking about then Ramsay would have just had all his archers shoot killing Rickon anyways and probably Jon to.

[gomil]

Ep 9 was incredible; possibly one of the greatest soundtracks I might have listened to.

if my man davos dies im gonna rage ITT

So hnnnnnnng

[nkiritsis13]

Ramsay shooting Wun Wun is an easy explanation:

When you see a giant do that to someone, they become priority target #1 in case of a last wind outburst.

I always get depressed when it comes to the end of a season. Now what do I do with my life?

I'm not sure what to watch, but I might just rewatch from the first season, catch up on Vikings, buy a Roku to watch Black Sails, and check out Rome or Spartacus. I can probably stretch all that out long enough with plenty of content to spare.

I still have the books lying around to catch up on.

That was fantastic. Goes to show the show is filled with action and awesome scenes. It's just the complaining neckbeard cucks here would have every scene be like that, utterly robbing these scenes of any uniqueness or heft because they'd be the norm and without any of the great dialogue and political meanderings betwixt them.

If you want nonstop action, just watch the third Hobbit film because without the things you mentioned, that's pretty much what you get. That's not to say tons of action can't be fun, but you'll never get the same experience or care nearly as much about what is driving that action.

What's crazy is that GoT arguably does a better job of managing multiple engaging stories and characters on top of the action compared to most movies we see. I can't even think of a medieval/fantasy film even close to matching the Battle of the Bastards in the last several years, which is awfully impressive given the difference in mediums.

Even when Game of Thrones ends, it has set a legacy that more properties might adapt instead of going for a movie release. Or at least, hopefully such properties choose the Game of Thrones route vs the Walking Dead approach which has more in common with Edge of Tomorrow with zombies.

Apropos zombies, I really like GoT's approach with the White Walkers/Unead because they don't overuse them or treat them like typical zombies that are rampant in everything these days. Obviously they're not zombies, but it would be an easy cop out to try and appeal to another fanbase.

Brahs it's been a pleasure sharing this thread with you all as we come to the final season. WTF to do until next year....

[2RDEYE]

someone else should pick up a well written novel series to do a tv series on so we have something to watch in the off-season

[Clinos]

We should do the Hobbit. It's available everywhere, we pick one of the movies, watch it, and discuss the **** out of it the same week. Rinse repeat for the next week. Then do LOTR. Book/Spoilers...same deal.

[NasStan]

This is still hnnnggg as fuk





Going by the track title "Trust Each Other", I think there goes theories about Sansa turning on Jon!

The soundtrack was so on point that entire episode.

From 3:10 onwards, when Jon looks down at Rickon's body, is just unreal. Matched the entire scene perfectly, then ending on the poignant sound when Jon realises the enormity of what he's going to have to face looking at the charging cavalry. Everything that has happened has led him here.

loved that track. coupled with tormund's "don't..." and davos' "PREPARE TO CHARGE!... PREPARE... TO... CHARGE!! GO GO FOLLOW YOUR COMMANDER!" and then the charging calvary and tormund's wildlings charging... chit had me so pumped



anybody know what tormund yells before he and his wildlings charge? 0:56

[awwchit2]

Brahs, I've been watching GOT since the day it first aired.

I've waited 5 years for the Starks to get some fukin justice and now my day has come. I've been all in on Jon Snow ever since Robb Stark died, and I have not been disappointed. He's my ride or die srs.

[Kronwall]

if my man davos dies im gonna rage ITT

If he were to die it woulda been last episode, hes safe for now brah until Winterfell is attacked by White Walkers or Danys army

[2RDEYE]

i think he wants mel dead though for burning shireen. if jon decides to execute her for davos. then mel might turn on davos before she's executed. i hope that doesn't happen though.
