I think they cut down the episode count for more "OMG DRAGONZ" battle scenes though. Don't get me wrong, I've loved the dragon battles, but it just seems so obviously calculated to make the show as profitable as possible for the final two seasons. I wish they'd just take a loss on the final two years and give the show the send off it deserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Louis II (KLII) Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 SUPER BAD EPISODE. Nobody watches GoT just to see predictable, commercial action... Defiantly DoD is just ruining everything... I wish we could sue them for all the time that we invested in the show that they ruined because their laziness, It is a con... you make somebody to love the show because your impeccable craft, attention for details , complex characters, unpredictable storyline, and then, now that you have your pockets full you just don't care anymore... and write stuff without care and in a way that any high school kid could do a better job... despicable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The season would be pretty good if half the characters arcs weren't completely butchered. Its not his knee she is after and she don't want it to bend.

Holly Macaroni Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Just figured, what if the night king's only after his baby (Gilly's baby)? The series would end with him picking him up...and going back to way up north to mind his own business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what was the point of taking a wight to King's Landing? Oh sure, Cersei is all of a sudden going to be the voice of reason when we show her what we found. Perfect . Because what this episode means, and because of all the the preparation for this stupid plot, I will say THIS WAS THE WORST EPISODE OF THE WHOLE SERIES.

The Bear Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 4 minutes ago, Raksha 2014 said: Daenerys did finally have tears in her eyes when she was talking to Jon about what happened to Viserion. Maybe the actress can't make herself cry. Iain Glen is a good actor, and has the finest cheekbones in the show. He really is an incredible actor and great at fight scenes. His fight scene with Milla Jovivich in the last Resident Evil movie was so much fun, he made that movie great with his religious zealot character and I was fangasming so hard during the truck fight (to be fair I'm a sucker for RE, including the movies). I always love him in GoT, he even made me really like book Jorah, even though I'd never thought much of him before. Thankfully he has the talent to carry Emilia through her scenes. Yeah, I think we got a hint of emotion from her in the end. Those weren't actual tears, I could tell they'd either used that irritant that causes your eyes to get red and weepy (can't remember the name, once had someone threaten to use it on me when I was working though, ha ha) or just put drops in her eyes. Probably the latter. I was going to give her a pass on not being able to summon up some sads because I consider her a relatively inexperienced actress, but I worked with plenty of inexperienced young actors who could do it so I think it's really just down her her skills or lack thereof.

Neue Regel Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Sorry to cut to the chase but, there are 3 dragons. Danny is still on Drogon, Viserion is a wight. Where is the third, Rhaegal? Am I the only person who saw this that can count? A hypothesis would be fine but why am I the only person asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbigski Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 So I'm assuming that was Viseryon that got got? Drogon is still alive and presumably Jon ends up riding Rheagal because foreshadowing. Couldn't really tell and that whole battle scene was a gods damned mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They showed Rhaegal flying when Viserion went down. Maybe you're the only person asking because you're the only person that didn't see all three dragons for some reason.

I'd imagine 2-6 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEJON TARGARYEN Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) 32 minutes ago, The Bear said: Did you guys catch Ian Glenn's face when he was behind Dany on Drogon's back? It said everything: he was shocked, horrified, grieving for Dany. The gravity and enormity of the situation was written clear as day on his face. It was a superb piece of acting. And then there's Emilia beside him, deadpan as ever. At least for once it could be written off as complete shock that one of her children could die, although I'd assume Drogon's near death at the field of fire 2.0 might have clued her in. This was the worst penultimate episode, this is a filler/set up season, can't wait for S8. Edited August 21, 2017 by TRILOGY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
