Spindles Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 The worst thing about this episode is that I have to wait til everyone has seen it to discuss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viberunner Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 What's to discuss? Having pissed away six or seven episodes on trudge and filler they give us three or four jaw-dropping ones... and now another bloody year to wait to see the resolutions!!

luckysalt Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 What the fucking fuck. Did that REALLY happen at the end??? Really??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Leach Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Good job a representative of a religion with a proven track record of resurrecting people from lethal injuries just happens to have chosen this episode to return to Castle Black. For a minute there I thought we were in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Leach Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 It was a good episode, I just feel like we could have had one more in between last week's and this week's to really build up to everything that happened, a lot of which just seemed to be thrown at us in the first fifteen minutes. I mean... The last we saw of Stannis was him burning his daughter, then this week his wife took her own life, Melisandre abandoned him, his troops deserted and he lost the battle all within about ten minutes. An extra episode could really have given time to showing that burning Shireen ultimately cost him everything. Similarly with Sansa. One second she was in as hopeless a situation as ever, the next she was leaping over the wall with Theon. It's not like they didn't have the time to do any of this, the first three quarters of this series were just spinning the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindles Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 The moment where Ramsey's bitch bought the farm was brilliant, I literally shouted "fuck yeah" when she hit the deck. 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. Cersei's walk of shame, that was harsh man...unrelenting and a true test of her steel (that she'd never have failed, in my mind). Poor old Myrcella, one of only about 3 totally blameless and innocent characters in the whole show, so naturally she's going to die. As soon as I saw the kiss I knew what was going down.

luckysalt Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Was I imagining it, or as Stannis was about to die, Brienne appeared to be struck from behind and then it cut away to elsewhere in the battle where Ramsey was killing someone, the only time he was show in the episode, this battle was non existent, but yeah someone clear up the Brienne bit for me?

Spindles Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I didn't pick up on that, I thought it cut away for dramatic effect. Was I the only person waiting for Jon Snow's eyes to turn blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I saw that. I'm thinking it could be a representative of Lady Stoneheart? I know she was ruled out of Season 5 but did they rule her out of the show completely? I read somewhere that someone who could be Septon Meribald (someone involved in Brienne's storyline before she meets LS) is being cast for S6, so could be leading up to a Brienne/LS meeting next Season?

viberunner Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 The moment where Ramsey's bitch bought the farm was brilliant, I literally shouted "fuck yeah" when she hit the deck. It was certainly one of the best "splats" ever filmed. Couldn't have happened to a nicer girl. Was I the only person waiting for Jon Snow's eyes to turn blue? LOL, nope. I was egging them on too, Turn Blue and KILL KILL KILL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t8yman Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Enjoyed the fuck out of it, I knew about snow since frankie fucking Boyle posted spoilers on Twitter about 2 years ago.

DomDom1984 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 On the kingsguard thing, looking at the eyes I had a theory, but there's a major doubt for me too... My instant thought was "is that The Hound?!" but I'm not sure if The Hound was that big. I suppose the armour could have exaggerated it a bit, but the undead thing kinda makes sense to me too. It did get referenced earlier in the season, did it not? Those eyes though. Could have sworn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
