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

rofl Arya would get her **** pushed in by zombie mountain, lettuce beef real tea. can't even take the punk bitch with a stick and chronic bitchface , nevermind the most frightening warrior turned zombie deathmachine

I know these characters take the faces of people... but how she gonna take a whole 1 feet and 4 inches of height? Unless the Faceless Men know how to do that.

Inb4 all Westeros and Essos manlets turn up in Braavos

Now that I think more of it, doubtful. Was just a random thought that popped in my head and made a random connection.

Even if she was able to grow in height/get it all down, she'd still lack in strength and skill unless all of a sudden her training made her all ninja oberyn style

[ceizer1985]

i swear to God these idiot show runners are trying to finish this series asap and are trying to rush it so fuking bad. wtf do they have something better to do? this show needs 2 full seasons to wrap everything up that is 20 episodes. all these idiot creators ever do is whine about how time consuming this project is. it's called a fuking job if you don't wanna produce this show then there are literally millions of other capable people who can step in. i'm gonna fuking flip my chit if dany comes to westeros next season and in like 20 min just takes a stroll on her dragon and fire breathes all the white walkers to death.

The show was always going to be eight seasons long. The only different is that instead of 80 episodes. We'll have 74.

I would rather have this instead of 6 filler episodes spread out in the next two seasons.

[davesterrr]

Maybe they just dropped the Dorne storyline and pretend it never happened.
Im down for that.

[AD117]

multiple mentions of sam reading a book to kill whitewalkers or some chit - which may be true, he's kind of a fggt....

but isn't it better foreshadowing that he'll be involved simply by the fact that he has that sword now? doesn't the valyrian steel serve the same purpose as using dragon glass on those dead dudes?

Honestly, he's a piece of chit for taking that sword. When the white walkers come, and he knows this will happen, his entire family will be completely defenseless against them.

[iamgenus]

An elegant move would be for the show to 'pass the baton' back to GRRMs books for the apex and conclusion of the series.

Have all of the characters walking off to the great battle and then pan out, fade and roll credits with some Enya music and a "Buy the rest of the series on Amazon"

Personally I would like to read the last act of the story instead of watch, because watching = subject to budgeting and $$$ involved in certain scenes, whereas GRRM can write "and a dragon rekt the tower" for $0.001 of printer ink while HBO cost $100000000 for that few seconds.

...then suck some dicks afterwards?

[Kiwikind]

Typically a show would go for less episodes/season so they can spend more budget per episode. Big field battles demand a lot of money due to CGI, effects, extra's and all the costumes etc and the way the story is heading there are a lot of massive battles ahead.

If every one of those 7-8 episodes is like Battle of the Blackwater or the Battle of Castle Black then it's going to be awesome IMO. I just really hope you guys are right about season 8. It kind of feels like we're finally arriving at a point in the story that we've all been waiting for, and it would suck to have the rest of the story crammed into one season.

Fewer.

Agreed although I'm not such a fan of these post-episode videos. They're great considering how much work goes into them and it only takes 3-4 days after the show for him to put them out. But they're very short, and more of a recap than big theory-posers like his other videos. Great for more casual fans though, as he explains what is going on. But I prefer the bigger ones that go back to the books and other sources of info. There's a really good one about the potential end game for Arya, for example.

ramsey is scary in real life too. he looks like if u say something wrong he'll kidnap you and torture u in his basement

I got negged for no reason last time I posted in a GoT thread but here it goes- Jaquean or whatever is setting up the waif to get killed just watch. You heard it hear first. RIP dire wolves

i think so too. i mean i think he's testing her, but he knows she already failed because she has such a strong grudge on arya when she's supposed to be no one, and he knows arya can beat her. it really seems like jaqen is the only faceless man.

is "waif" that the ugly chick that saw arya prevent the actress from drinking poison?

i hate that girl lol

yea the waif is the other girl. not sure why she's called "the waif"

[Psyllius]

Maybe it's her assassin code name?

Some miscers are legit retarded. Got negged for "Spoilers" when I asked a question about what might happen. I legit lloed since there is no such thing as the show is ahead of the books.

[YOTTO]

I always lol at people saying there are no more spoilers cause the show is ahead of the book

"A waif (from the Old French guaif, "stray beast") is a living creature removed, by hardship, loss or other helpless circumstance, from its original surroundings. The most common usage of the word is to designate a homeless, forsaken or orphaned child, or someone whose appearance is evocative of the same."
So that leaves one question...


I like the theory that Jaqen is testing the Waif as well as Ayra, because she does show an obvious grudge against Ayra when Jaqen walks in on them fighting.

You're wrong about Sam

I really hope not out of optimism like excess34 or else they truly haven't learned from the waste of Dorne scenes. He has to contribute in some way, likely his brains as usual, or they would have just left his arc at training in the Citadel. Someone else will probably end up with that Valyrian sword (Tormund? Jon's buddy in the watch?), which honestly is well worth it if someone else can help kick ass against the White Walkers. His family doesn't even believe the White Walkers exist, so the last thing they'd bother trying is to use it against one. My guess is Sam is going to go back to the north in the hopes of being some part of the effort there before the undead can go south.

You are right that he still ran away from his father/brother, but at least he didn't just leave Gilly and Sam Jr. behind like a deadbeat (as much as we'd all probably rather have them not enter the equation).

So long as Sam heads North, that will mean less time devoted to him waffling about his decision with Gilly/Sam (already made up), traveling north, or worst of all having another side arc with him reading books in the Citadel.

Again, really being optimistic with Sam because he's at least only had two scenes and is hopefully moving along to forward the plot. Sam is far more bearable when he was with his brothers of the Night's Watch before the Craster the Incester.

I'm honestly pissed off. I read somewhere they had changed their mind and that they would have a full season 7 before the finale season 8. It's a dumb decision narratively, because they could pace it a lot more as you said, and financially because the show is absolutely killing it in viewing figures and is setting new record averages.

D&D might have drank whatever the Mad King. The last few seasons felt a bit rushed and far too sporadic and now this now this slower paced one trying to tie everything back together. Some of the arcs simply aren't matching the same speed without fast forwarding a bit, so I'm pulling for a satisfying conclusion, but I'm not nearly as confident that it will be as deep as the early seasons now. Hope I'm wrong though.

Appreciate the waif definition brah. But yeah you're right the plots for many awesome characters have seriously slowed to a boring halt. Especially Tyrion, whose my favorite character so it's disappointing seeing him waste so much time on mereen. I'm excited to see the Starks story pan out and discover if the North really remembers. To be honest, I don't care at all about all these little filler character plots taking up screen time. Just wanna see Dany go to Westeros and Jon to winterfell

[Envi]

I think the war with the white walkers will mostly be fought in the north. Imagine if they make it all the way down, their army will be freaking HUGE with no way for the humans to survive, no matter dragons or any of that ish. They will cross The Wall but I'm thinking the battles will be fought in the North. But I could be wrong.

[xXBrutalXx]

is "waif" that the ugly chick that saw arya prevent the actress from drinking poison?

i hate that girl lol

id bang she has some decent teddies in her image search

[SavySave]

The waifs backstory. I don't think the show will go over it so there's really not any spoilers. Her fight with Arya should be an interesting one.

[ineedadrink]

You're wrong about Sam, he's a weak ******* who continues to be a bitch by running away and stealing his fathers sword. He is running away from his problems and not confronting his father. He basically got sent off to castle black to become a man and eat ****ing stewed bones and do manual labor and he comes back a fat tub of chit wanting to be a doctor, and NOW he's not even going to do that, he's just going to run straight back to Jon.

This. Don't see how people love it that Sam stole the sword. The sword belonged to his house for who knows how many hundreds of years, and he steals it like a teenager taking his mom's car out for a joyride. As he joined the Night's Watch, the sword is no longer his, and neither is anything else that belongs to his household. By the standards of their society, it was a very dishonorable thing to do.

Even Sir Friendzone had enough honor, despite being a slaver, to leave his Valyrian sword with his family when he was sent into exile. Because those things are family heirlooms and not individual possessions.

Like those Sand Sloot scenes, it's one of those show only moments that make me cringe.

[surf junkie]

in for waif sex scene

[JaxBrah]

my personal prediction is that Tommen is killed by Cersei. It makes for the most interesting of possibilities and makes literary sense in terms of her character development.

the entire show she has been built to be, if nothing else, an incredibly loving mother. she has also been obsessed with the prophecy she was given. i think the best possible way the writers can turn those two aspects on their heads is to have Cersei believe the inevitability of the propehcy so much that shes willing to sacrifice her son for the sake of power and her familys house.

as margyry gains power over cersei and tommen and in effect, the tyrells over the lannisters, i can easily see Cersei poisening Tommen to regain power. she 'knows' he will be murdered anyway so she might as well do it herself. i just think that would be a great way of fullfilling that prophecy

he is rebelling against his dad, he never stands up for himself against this dad and by taking the sword his dad cares so much about he is giving him a kick in the ass


plus you dont know what hes up to he might still go out and prove himself to his dad by going to kill some white walkers

[Sinan09400]

How do we know that Waif is Waif's name?

i think so too. i mean i think he's testing her, but he knows she already failed because she has such a strong grudge on arya when she's supposed to be no one, and he knows arya can beat her. it really seems like jaqen is the only faceless man.

Then who was that dead Jaqen Hgar who drank the poison?

hngggggg much hotter then mrs derpface clarke


but wtf why would she need a stunt double. From my memories daenarys never did anything that requires a stunt double. All she does is sit bitch walk and bitch more. She never participates in fighting and hides behind her cockless white knights to do the job.

Have i forgotten something,

inb4 cgi dragon required a stunt double
