  1. What I hate most is all the YouTubers saying The Winds of Winter is never coming out and the series will not be finished. I hate that negativity. My gut tells me TWoW will be out in the relatively near future, and the series will be finished.
  2. That was the best episode of the season by far. Only 2 left...
  3. Yes, I agree it was way too dark. Also they should have shown what Arya was up to before her ninja kill shot, how she got into position. And sending 20,000 (?) Dothraki on a solo suicide charge was beyond stupid. (Why didn't Dany & Jon go burn some undead first?) So on the surface the episode basically sucked. Also about Jorah, didn't he ride out with the Dothraki? They all died, but he came back to save his Khaleesi? However I still refuse to believe that D&D are that incompetent to so badly blow the ending of the Great War, or that GRRM wrote such a lame ending. There MUST be a big twist coming. It couldn't have ended like that. Bran and the Night King are somehow colluding and planning something.
  4. You don't know that D&D threw anything out the window for a "badass" Arya moment. Supposedly they are following major plot points laid out by GRRM. So it's not unlikely that GRRM told them that Arya plays a big role in defeating the White Walkers. And don't discount the possibility that this seemingly anti-climatic episode was a huge swerve. I get the feeling that something went down between Bran and the Night King, and that the Night King isn't really dead and will be back in a big plot twist. Or maybe D&D really are just hacks. We'll find out soon enough.
  5. Rushed, just like Season 7. Just get to the action & battle scenes. Everything else about the show since last season pretty much sucks now. At least we'll get an ending.
  6. People forget that Petyr only betrayed Ned after Ned refused Petyr's proposal to seize Joffrey and take power. Petyr actually tried to help Ned, which he tried to explain to Cat in season 2. When Ned asked Petyr to bribe the Gold Cloaks to support him, there was no way Petyr was going to go along with that stupid plan. It would have been suicidal. Ned screwed Ned, not Petyr.
  7. Best episode of the season by far. Good dialogue, good writing, good payoff and ending to the Littlefinger story. Great Cersei-Tyrion scene. Sansa finally comes into her own, having learned from the master. I also liked how they handled the Jon-Dany sex by making it gross by revealing it's actually incest right before it happened. It wasn't as cheesy as feared. Have to give credit to D&D when it's deserved. (Well, not on this hateful board..)
  8. Valyrian steel is known to kill White Walkers. We don't know that it also kills wights.
  9. Kind of ungrateful on Sansa's behalf. She only escaped King's Landing and Joffrey because of Petyr. He did actually love her, in his own twisted way.
  10. This is the worst season so far, by far. It's still entertaining and has some nice visuals and effects, and the episode 4 battle was great to watch, but the the once savvy and compelling characters have all become idiots for no reason. The wight chase mission is incredibly, I mean incredibly stupid and ill-conceived. And not one person on Dany's council of imbeciles objected to it. There is still a chance the show will finish well in season 8. At least it will give us an ending to the story.
  11. Glad to make you smile! Although truth be told, I'm kind of embarrassed about the name now, since I quit cold turkey about 7 months ago!
  12. I feel sorry for this lonely thread. So I'll post in it. Episode 4 was awesome!
  13. Yeah, but allowing huge gifs in peoples' signatures really ruins Under the Heart Tree for me. It's incredibly distracting and annoying when scrolling through threads, at least to me. Comments sections under articles in Watchers on the Wall are pretty good, too. Not exactly a forum structure, though. Westeros.org is an absolutely miserable place to talk about GoT. The book section of the website is good, but the show section is utter garbage.
  14. I see a Grey Worm / Missandei twist coming. They're going to turn against Tyrion.
  15. When a blind man cries, Lord, you know he feels it in his soul.

  16. That's a great list, but I might squeeze The Lion and The Rose in there (Joffrey's wedding).
  17. it's a desperate move by the Boltons. Northern Lords hate them, and the Lannisters without Tywin are not a reliable ally. I doubt that Roose trusts Sansa or Littlefinger, but he doesn't have many good options.
  18. If that happens, we may never see Missandei's boobs again. Come on, man!
  19. I'm warming up to Sansa at Winterfell, if they take the story in the direction of vengeance, which seems likely given Littlefinger's advice to her. I do not want to see Sansa get the Jeyne Poole treatment. But if Sansa organizes her own red wedding or Frey pies, that can be pretty cool! I'd like to see Dark Sansa go all the way.
  20. I kind of agree. But I can also see Barristan's TV death as being used to upset Dany and push her toward her true identity and purpose, make her realize she is the Dragon and cannot pretend otherwise. And then she can finally burn Mereen to ashes and hit the road to the West!
  21. I've enjoyed the Wall scenes in the first two episodes. The rest, not too much. I didn't like at all how Ellaria Sand talked to Prince Doran. She is after all a Sand, not a Martell. Doesn't seem realistic that she could get away with that. Would have much preferred Arriane. Oh well.
