  1. There's a psychological phenomenon where people hear what they want to hear.
  2. It's more useless headcanon, subtitles says he yells "Yarrggh" or some crap.
  3. This video thoroughly explains why I scored it 1/10, the worst episode of Game of Thrones.
  4. I posted this in another thread. I really wish the writers would have wrote really good strategies to defeat the dead, actually have Winterfell winning. That would have forced the white walkers to move to the forefront to stop the massacre of their forces, and then we could have had a lot of the major characters fight off with them with some actual deaths. The whole battle could culminate with them slowly losing and being overwhelmed since the walkers would put out the fires stopping the dead, and then the Night King flanking them with the major force of his army from the opposite direct, crushing everything in its path. That would then cause all the survivors to flee through the crypts. The other option is if they wanted to finish it then and there, would be let some of the heroes and Jon face a group of the white walkers and the Night King. The generals falling and the heroes falling, one of them Arya. It is then Jon against the Night King, and the Night King is clearly better, and up from behind comes Arya, stabbing the NK in the neck with her dagger, allowing Jon to recover and finish the Night King with a blow. Yes, a sort of mirror of the Tower of Joy battle. A group effort to the end of the threat, and Jon still able to finish his story arc against the Others. It would also let all the Valyrian steel to be put to good use.
  5. Jaime's story is his redemption arc. He completed it.
  6. Both Ghost and the dragons are in the preview for next episode.
  7. The only thing we saw Bran warg were some ravens.
  8. Yep, one has to actually show how the prophecies were fulfilled incorrectly. The books do this with Melissandre interpreting Stannis as Azor Ahai, and as Stannis is marching on Winterfell, she can "only see Snow" when looking for him in the flames. Meaning the visions led her to Jon through Stannis. Everyone knows what happened with D&D's choice. The fans knew it was Jon that was TPTWP, and they knew that because of the book readers. Unlike GRRM, who said he would never change things because they correctly guess something, D&D did just that. They chose Arya because it would be "unexpected", their words. So now instead of the slow build up of Jon's story arc leading him to the confrontion of D&D's Night King, we get Deus ex Arya. Often the expected happening is story fulfillment of what is promised by the author.
  9. A Mary Sue is a perfect, idealized character that does everything perfectly without the training necessary to do it. Rey and Wesley Crusher are both examples of this.
  10. Where else is there to go with the story? Three episode of Cersei? The vision of Daenerys of the throne room is still a giant elephant in the room and now we know it has nothing to do with the Others invading King's Landing. There's Bran's visions of Drogon flying over a smoking King's Landing as well.
  11. I am definitely not attempting to theorize. I won't theorize the TV show because I know they are bad writers. Those questions are just so damn obvious, I am wondering how the writing could be this bad,
  12. There's just a various number of questions I have. Why did Bran need Jon to know about his father and mother right at that moment? Wouldn't that indicate his birth was important to the upcoming battle or the defeat of the Night King? Which is exactly what was suppose to have happened. Yet here we are, nothing from it. Why has every vision that Bran has had to specifically to do with Jon? Yet again, nothing came of it. Why was Bran waiting for Jaime, yet Jaime had no major part in the War for the Dawn? What was Bran doing exactly when he warged those ravens? We never actually saw him do anything, but he stayed that way for awhile. Where is Yohn Royce and the knights of the Vale? Last we saw him he was with Sansa. Why did so many major characters survive? Why is Bran alive if his character arc is complete?
  13. I've been wondering that since the preview of episode 3. It only ever showed Vale infantry The last we saw Royce was when he excused himself during a meeting with Sansa.
  14. Remember folks, Arya just committed genocide because all the young white walkers in the Land That's Always Winter shattered into ice as well.
  15. That's the point. They would get the pitch by getting what they need.
  16. Where did they get a shit ton of dragonglass? They've been preparing this battle for months. 30 minutes could kill a hell of a lot of wights since you wait for them to walk on the pitch before you set it ablaze.
  17. You really sound like you don't understand story and character arc progression.
  18. The entire ground should have been absolutely covered in pitch all around Winterfell. Set the damn whole undead army on fire. Have lots of archers just raining hell upon them. Screw putting foot soldiers and cavalry against them on open field. They should have used the unsullied to prevent the undead from ever getting past a giant massive burning moat. The Dothraki should have been skirmishing from the sides with bows, kiting them around.
  19. The catapults and trebuchets should be inside the keep. They fired the things once and they were done.
  20. The entirety of Bran and Jon's story arcs is built around the Others and fighting the Others. Jon's entire parentage is built around it, an entire war was started for Jon to exist so Rhaegar could bring in the prince that was promised. Jon had his entire story arc from joining the Night's Watch, to rising to Lord Commander, to king in the North... All to defeat the Others. All of it was all thrown out the window to a character that had no relation, had no idea what the threat was.
  21. Died by lack of budget when the white walkers invaded Bran's cave.
  22. There were multiple fake leaks that pretty much predicted all the deaths this episode, even that Ed would die first. That's how damn predictable this episode was. How does the War for the Dawn end with such little sacrifice?
  23. I would actually argue it is male, because the oldest record of the prophecy is from Asshai and there's no indication that in their language the word for prince is gender neutral. The High Valyrian version would be a translation itself. Rhaegar seemed to believe it's Aegon the Conqueror reborn, so male in that regard as well.
  24. She is unable to touch the throne because snow is on it. It represents Jon Snow. The vision of the dragon flying over a smoking King's Landing also isn't the Night King as some people kept assuming. Though I've pointed out that particular theory is impossible because there was no blizzard.
