Holly Macaroni Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Ok, brothers and sisters, go fetch you airhorns, and prepare for coping with all the hype, because that confrontation between our favourite disfigured freakishly tall brothers just confirmed 100% Cleganebowl! I mean...if that wasn't directly foreshadowing Cleganebowl, what is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Cinders Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 As the hound was walking away from what is left of his brother, the guards could clearly be heard saying, "it's on...yeah it's so on...it's on..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcotron Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'm a little surprised that our writers Fan & Service didn't have someone on-screen say "Oooooh, Cleganebowl confirmed, get hype!" But yeah, they basically did everything short of that. It's happening next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie is going to make it to WF to give news of Cersei's treachery. Tyrion is going to say, hey, lets bump off Cersei and grab those troops. Sansa then points out she knows a faceless man they can use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hyped, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a good thing, cause the whole show would get something back from what made it great in the beginning. Right now it is 100% flat story hollywood crap.

Theon_is_Azor Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I don't see the Clegane fight as fan service at all. All the way back in season one (? Very early on), the Hound confronted his brother with a quickness at that jousting tournament. I think killing the Mountain is an almost integral part of the Hound's character development. They were always gonna fight eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there is an element of truth to that, however, where all kidding ourselves if we don't think the plot leaks lead to an element of complete predictability, which in many ways makes the writing even more a disappointment, as there were no surprises.

That's when the writers' job is easiest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all of us can see the past, present, and future as if it were all happening in front of us, Bran. So, since you can, mind giving us a play-by-play? (Ideally in the prose style of GRRM, but with color commentary in the style of John Madden.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombies That Were Promised Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Well, whatever happens in the South better be fucking good cause I've already written off The Great War as simply a series of epic CGI battles...which is cool but doesn't leave room for much plot.

The scales are never consistent on this show (or even in the books) if it gets in the way of the plot. So they'll just have the Mountain and the Hound be 80 miles tall and 70 miles tall so they can fight from halfway across the continent. And don't tell me you wouldn't find that awesome.
