HBO's Game of Thrones - Open Discussion - Final Season VIII

[econbrah11]

Dany just came out and said Episode 5 is the craziest episode yet.











so episode 4 is confirmed filler

Episode 4 : filler and they elaborate the King's Landing attack
Episode 5 : They attack Kings Landing and defeat Cersei
Episode 6 : Dany VS Jon for the throne and Dany dies.

You're welcome

'have powers mostly to control Ravens'

Lol, no


He's a warg, he can control animals. You forget he also controlled his direwolf, and hodor. Controlling ravens has nothing to do with being the 3ER. Jon wargs too, in the books. All the Starks are implied to be able to warg, whether they're aware of it or not.

The least he could have done was survey the battlefield before the Dothraki suicide charged into the tidal wave of zombies. But I guess Bran had more important things to do like be worthless.

[VladMass]

-be 3 Eyed Raven
-have powers mostly to control Ravens
-in the battle, controlling your Ravens
-everyone gets mad because you only controlled Ravens

-be swrv
-be unfunny *******
-everyone gets mad cause you're unfunny *******

[Jacobcapra]

I don’t think bran is worthless I think he warged into the ravens to look in the storm and see what was happening which helped lure the NK who is constantly trying to stop Bran from using his powers. I think bran somehow caused a lot of the history by time traveling.

I tried to read the whole thread and not post until I did but I’m always 50 page behind

M8 there are 6,000 posts, you will never read it all.

[Coal Man]

-be me
-be really well educated about acting and film and writing

Fukking ded XD

[Jacobcapra]

Several people have mentioned that there is no Night King in the books, but I've just realized that there sort of is


In the books the WW are called the others, and there is in fact a "Great Other"

The great other is the god of darkness, cold, and death in the R'hllor faith. his true name is never spoken, and he is the sworn enemy of the lord of light


Melisandre refers to the others as "the cold children" of the Great other. Furthermore it appears in the books there is some setup that Bran, the old gods, and Bloodraven (the previous 3ER) are all champions of the Great Other:

At the Wall, when gazing into the fires, Melisandre sees a wooden face, corpse white, a thousand red eyes, and a boy with a wolf's head beside him. She thinks to herself that they must be the Great Other's champions, as King Stannis is hers. [3]

Further evidence in the text ties the Last Greenseer, Brynden Rivers (bloodraven), the Old Gods, and Bran Stark to the theme of darkness that draws The Great Other into opposition with R'hllor. The vision of Melisandre pointing towards Bloodraven and Bran as champions of The Great Other is corroborated in this exchange:

There he sat, listening to the hoarse whispers of his teacher. 'Never fear the darkness, Bran.' The lord's words were accompanied by a faint rustling of wood and leaf, a slight twisting of his head. "The strongest trees are rooted in the dark places of the earth. Darkness will be your cloak, your shield, your mother's milk. Darkness will make you strong." [4]

Just some food for thought - it really bolsters fan theories.

I rewatched it another time.

Let’s go to the Crypt they said, it will be fun they said.... how did that get overlooked by all the characters that know they can RAISE THE DEAD.

I think for this episode to have been better, they should have had the NK kill off one more big character, and one of his generals to also kill off a big character such as Brienne.

the last time we see Brienne, Jamie, Podrick, Sam, and even Jon they were in situations that would be impossible for them to survive. They all would have been overrun. I would have been more satisfied with the outcome of that episode if nearly every character had died actually. Theon would have been overrun within 20 seconds as the wights approached, and he would have not survived that long. There’s just too much of **** like this in this episode.

They should have made the White Walkers the focus, instead of the battle with Cersai and taking the throne. Just let the White Walkers destroy the stupid humans for fighting over our stupid iron seats while there is a bigger threat to us.

so episode 4 is confirmed filler

You know the funny thing is after an episode with so little talking and so much action....some filler wouldn't be bad.

What book is that?

[Jacobcapra]

What book is that?

A Dance with Dragons, Chapter 31 for Melisandre's vision and chapter 34 for Bran's dialogue with bloodRaven.

[BraneyGumble]

Anyone want to read this and post a spoiler-free insight into whether anything good will actually happen in the next three episodes?


Despite the last episode, I'm still not subjecting myself to spoilers


Edit: wow too late, come on brahs

hmm

[juvefan]

Lol at posting spoilers ITT, reddit post was pretty spot on what happened in ep3

[BetaAsPhuck]

Point is that the Night King could have made moves against her, he was not rendered helpless due to the ergonomics of his body position.

Guys... Guys... Guys...

I've never argued that the NK was helpless.

The pause was for drama.

It's a standard part of film/TV making, pausing a moment to create ambiguity.

In TV/Film time, it was only a moment or 2. But in real time, the moment is held on screen to create a sense of ambiguity in the viewers.

If you we had pure realism, and no moments filmed for dramatic effect, Jon Snow would have died in the battle of the bastards.

Also, like I said, from his perspective she was rendered a non-threat. He had her by her throat and wrist holding the weapon. Theon was literally charging at him with a spear pointing at him.

Think back... When the White Walker was approaching Gilly's baby, he knocked Sam away as a non-threat... He didn't even bother killing him.

Also when Theon was stood crying and Bran spoke to him, the Night King didn't charge forward and kill Theon. At that point Theon wasn't an immediate threat.

Why did the White Walker fighting Jon slowly stalk him whenever he knocked him down? Why didn't he just finish him off?

Dramatic effect, and also... The White Walkers and Night King have the same kind of consciousness as Bran, and look at how non-chalant and weird he is.

Glad i didnt read through any reddit 'theories' aka spoilers posted in here. Learned that the hard way years ago. Must be your guys' first rodeo in a misc GoT thread

I have not given up faith in the show writers. They will tie this all together beautifully in the last 3 episodes. Haters will be eating crow.

The reddit thread in question was linked, for good reason. Jacobcapra then, for some reason, thought he had to summarize the one piece we didn't knew yet, spoiling the finale. WTF ...

[BOZZ]

the next person to post a spoiler will be banned until the end of the season

[Aristotelian]

Should do it anyways. Fuk a warning. Already ruined.

It was a throwaway account on this forum - he linked a subreddit which prides itself on including spoilers. The script leak for season 7 was posted there, as an example. I reported the post, hoping a mod removes it, and posting links to freefolk in this thread should be (imho) bannable too. It is a deliberate attempt to chit on the fans of this show.

[juvefan]

Well what's done is done. For those of us who read it, at least we didn't get many details and can hope it's just one of many alternative endings they shot

That's very possible, so I wouldn't get TOO worked up over it. But posting that here in the first place is absolute bs

To be fair, there were things in the reddit thread that didnt happen in ep3

[ko300zx]

Guess I'll go back to reading the incel threads and cross my fingers about the alternate ending, although ulikely. Can't trust coming into this thread anymore. Thanks worthless *******s.

Ramin Djawadi solidifying himself as one of the best of this era between his music here and WestWorld. this soundtrack is incredible.

[KingKringe]

You know you guys who hate it can just stop watching the show.


But you won't.



You love it.



You can't wait until Sunday at 9.



Admit it.



Accept it.

i wouldn't look away from a trainwreck

That is a great theme and I keep listening to it over and over. I do think light of the seven is way better though. Love them both though.

[eltoro24]

What’s going on in this thread.......

[ohiostate124]

I went 140 pages without reading spoilers and skipped to the last two pages for this crap
Y’all should be banned

So should all of the people quoting them like you.

[ontclone]

for the people who read the spoilers, honestly, how do you guys feel knowing what's going to happen?

[KingKringe]

Lmao at this passionate fan losing his jimmies.

[GotNext]

for the people who read the spoilers, honestly, how do you guys feel knowing what's going to happen?

cheated, srs - I don't care if they shows writers come up with something stupid, but after investing a few years into this show, just to have it spoiled, here of all places ... I'd seriously punch the 3 guys who spoiled it out IRL if I met them

[jimbone21]

She knew she had to scream to get him to turn around because he could only be killed in the exact spot that the children of the forest used to create him. Face it the show runners are just smarter than you.

So tired of hearing this excuse. Strategy doesn't work when the bad guy has one weakness, it is in plain view with no protection due to his halter top armor, and best of all NOBODY knows that is his weakness or where on his body it even is. I was more on board when she just stabbed him and he died a la Jon Snow vs HardHome WW. But when the show runners come out and say that she had to have stabbed him in that exact spot it ruins any credibility for that scene.

And yet you had to make a thread to announce the existence of the spoilers, right? What an epic public service you provided.

Livid. I hope a real life Ramsey gets ahold of them all.
