Game of Thrones discussion thread

Well I enjoyed that

 

I'll admit the Jon Snow thing was a little Meh. It's as if they have to kill someone off, and they get a little less surprise now

 

Still great though 

 

I assume the riders that appeared from thin air were Dothraki

[viberunner]

Let's face it, it's a load of old tosh really, isn't it? It looks great, obviously loads of money spent on it, but why should anyone care about any of the characters? There's next to nothing to admire in anyone or anything that they do. 

 

Welcome to history, the morality of noble houses, and the reality of war.

 

Poncing around in purple lycra catsuits fighting crime at night using the laser-eyes powers you accidentally got from the Mayan ruins during your stint as an NGO worker helping out the indigenous peoples when they got struck by an earthquake this is not.

Hollyoaks, Eastenders, Game Of Thrones.... plot-wise, what's the difference?

To be fair, Hollyoaks has a bit more incest =p

 

This is a cool summary of last nights episode, be warned you will never watch that episode the same again

I was happy when Brienne got to get closure and do the deed with Stannis, even if it all goes wrong for her now she has achieved that.  Stannis as a beaten man was pretty funny as well, it looked to me like his hair had got 3 shades greyer since last week.

But at what cost? She missed the signal that Sansa put.

 

Anyway I've heard a few people that have said that Stannis, Sansa and Theon aren't dead but I don't believe it. I still think they'll find a way to bring back Jon anyway but no one is in a good situation are they.

 

The Boltons can't hold the North without a Stark unless they kill half of the people there. Dany has been taken by the Dothraki and I don't think that her claim to Khaleesi is going to work. Arya...well has let revenge get in her way and has to pay the price. The Lannistars are broken and could be start a civil war with Dorne. Tormund is going to be pissed when he hers about Jon's death and the Wildlings could be under threat from the new nights watch. Davos has got no leader anymore and him and Melisandre aren't on good terms anyway. Margaery and Loras Tyrell are still in captivity.

 

The only group doing well are the White Walkers and Little Finger which I would imagine is all part of his plan.

Theon and Sansa aren't dead, they jumped into deep snow drifts, I'm sure they'll be journeying together next series.  I do like some of the journeying partnerships that have existed in the show, should be interesting as both characters are now almost the opposite of who they were 5 series ago.

I thought they died, it wasn't clear and I'm not being funny that no matter how deep that snow is they would be dead in the real world or at least break something. But this is a work of fiction so who knows

The reason I think that they're dead is that I can see their reasons for killing themselves.

[bunique]

Another one who didn't think for a minute than Sansa and Theon are dead!

[ThomThomDrum]

There is no way Sansa and Theon are dead!! That jump was an escape to freedom. There is no question about it IMO They will bump into Brienne I reckon. There are questions over Stannis and Jon however IMO

[ThomThomDrum]

Personally I'm convinced Jon will be OK and will be the ultimate hero or part of the ultimate heroic group. The questions over his parentage convince me of such. I reckon he has Targaryen blood....

Totally didn't pick up on the fact Cersei had a body double for the walk of shame!

Thought that looked very obvious in parts. Neck and shoulders were looking wonky at times to my eyes

The main reason I doubt they are dead , is because GoT doesn't shy away from a nice bit of gore.

GoT also doesn't shy away from killing off main characters

[viberunner]

And the dragons, and ghosts, and the white walkers.... they existed in the past?

 

 

So your argument would be because a book/show has some fantastic creatures in it at the edges of the world the humans in it cannot act in realistic (that is, abusive, cruel and greedy) way?

[bunique]

I clearly wasn't looking as closely as you Thom

[t8yman]

I thought that too, has it been confirmed it was a double?

[Spindles]

I personally am now rooting for the white walkers.

TBH I dont know why I was looking at the neck and shoulders!

[ThomThomDrum]

If you believe this

I read when I was "researching" that cersei has had a no nudity clause from the outset, and dany had one for season 5.

Was in the Torygraph yesterday t8y

It's a bit of a family get together. I sort of enjoy it, the spectacle and everything, but there's nothing for me to get emotionally involved with. 

 

 

 

 

blimey! what a series to pick for your family get together.

Weirdly it's something all my family love as well - me at 30, my brothers are 20 and my parents in their early 50s! Even my 82 year old granny has made enquiries about whether she'd enjoy it
