[BOOK SPOILERS] What your non-reader friends/family thought and their predictions


Recommended Posts

"Roose is going to win against Stannis. I mean, he has more guys. Also, bad guys always win on Game of Thrones."

"Jon will, like, be lord of the North and Watch at the same time. He'll accept Stannis's offer even though he wasn't crazy about it. Then Roose will kill Stannis and give Jon to Ramsay."

"Mhysa is screwed. Her dragons hate her and there's going to be civil war. She dead."

"Arya, Cersei, Jaime... meh, what is there to predict?"

All from my sister. My friend, girlfriend, and parents don't really bother with predictions.

My boyfriend, who never gives me anything ever ...



is finally in the "Wow, Dany really needs to learn how to train her dragons" camp.



And he's wondering what the point of Brienne is because she hasn't done anything since season 3. I grumbled something along the lines "It's because her plot makes no sense because a certain character is missing."



He wasn't terribly impressed with the introduction of Dorne either.



The Wall is the most interesting story for him at the moment.



And he missed Margaery this week.

Mum knew that Jaqen's face was just that. His face, not the actual guy. She gets good with this show im tellin' ya.

Mum knows Dany is in deep shit and was wondering why she didnt appeal to the people about the fate of that one guy. She was like "well look at this pile of shit. Just in time for Tyrion to come and fix it." So shes pretty much on to that. (ahead of me anyway. I still cant make heads or tails of this big fat change)

Mum rooted for Jon so hard, she cheered. Shes also dreading where Sansa's going once she put two and two together. "You know where hes taking her right?" i ask.
"...Yeah."
"You know who's there now, right?"
"Yeah."
"Remember what LF said about marriage proposal?"
"O M G" *most horrified look on her face.

Yeah she didnt miss a beat really. Also rooted for Kevan. Mum does think Drogon wont come back though.

:lol: :lol:

My two buddies had these reactions:

"Ok so, I will give your girl [sansa] credit. That dark side might work for her."

"Still not sure about Tyrion and damn Drogon! Where the hell is he going now?"

"Arya is going to become more of a badass."

[On Dany killing the slave] "That's going to come around and bite her in the butt."

___________________________________________________________________________________

[On Dany and her dragons] "One of those dragons is going to eat her. That's what I want to see anyway..."

[On Dany herself] "She's the kid who's told they're special but hasn't actually done anything."

(The Dany hate was strong with this one tonight).

Ok, I'm kinda mad now that the only plot they're getting right is Dany being hated and polemic. Like, fuck you D&D.

From my end, I say they got right the utter boredom and pointlessness of the Meereen storyline. That really translated well to the screen

How can some of you watch with your parentes?

I mean damn I would feel awkward as fuck with the raunchy sex scenes

My parents are former hippies and are staunch liberals, so we're all pretty chill about sex and stuff. It's like Dorne in here, but with less child murder

"Sansa is Doomed"


"Brienne is not a thinker"


"Pod is smart but clumsy"


"Jon is destined for great things"


"Sam is my favorite person"


"Arya is the toughest Stark alive"


"Varys and Tyrion could do a series by themselves and be a hit"


"Is Dany the savior of the world?"


"When will they fucking kill that bitch Cersei?"


Oh, yeah, "Dorne is boring and irrelevent all the way down there"

Not too many comments yet. But for some strange reason my Dad is obsessed with Gendry. He CANNOT stop talking about him and bringing him up in relation to the show even when he has no relevance. So when I saw him this morning briefly, he was really excited about the show - mentioned Brienne's awesome sword and then brought up Gendry. I just started laughing and drove off. I'll get more of his comments later.



Oh yeah, my hubby was disappointed that Jon didn't take Stannis' offer. He was a little let down by how much Dany sucks as a ruler and agreed that it probably was a good idea for her to stay and learn how to rule b/c she doesn't know what she is doing. He is still really confused about who Barristan Selmy is, though I have explained it numerous times. "She needs Jorah back."

I've watched it with my in-laws. My parents don't watch it.

I have some awesome talks with my m-i-l about it, though...she hasn't read the books, but she's pretty sharp. Unfortunately, they lost their satellite and didn't get to see the episode when it aired, so I don't know what they want yet.

From my unsullied fiance:



*when LF is talking to Brienne about her service to Renly*



Him: "Who's Renly?"


Me: "Robert's brother..."


Him: "I thought that was the guy at the wall."


Me: "That's the other brother..."


Him: "I don't remember Renly."


Me: "Ya know, when Melisandre gave birth to the shadow baby and it killed him..."


Him: "Oh, the gay one!"


Me: *facepalm*
