D&D's Sandor Clegane is clearly inspired by the Black Knight Unlike the Black Knight he lucked out by having Drogon ex-machina blast the Red Keep!

The part with Harry Strickland looking kinda confused as the dragon roar could be heard reminded of 2 scenes from the Holy Grail: when the French guy is on top of the wall, listening to the knights building the giant wooden rabbit, and the scene with the guards that look at the approaching Lancelot, and they keep looking all the way until he's right on top of them.

Le Cygne Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Just finished watching this, lots of interesting points about the differences in the books: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cas Stark Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 It feels like this show has been over for 2 months, not just under 2 weeks. It turns out, it was junk food after all, the poor ending robbed the show of any substance it may have once had, and this massive cultural moment ended not with a bang but a whimper.

Yes. I'm torn between the feeling of being ripped off and the guilt of having invested so much time in a work that wasn't ultimately worth it. And I'm not ready to digest the fact that the author sold all the rights to his major work to a duo of mediocre Hollywood writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Fevre Dream Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I thought I'd drop this off, from our new favorite extra from GOT. Granted, he wants everyone to love the show, but I'll forgive him that, as........I do adore him. He made The Last Watch really interesting. It seems him and some of his extra buddies will be hitting the Con circuits, and like the regular cast, holding in secrets til after the finale with non disclosure agreements?

Lady Fevre Dream Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 This is a new season/show/finale review I found after watching the Andy McClay video. It's very succinct, but accurate, minus the mangled Princess Bride reference, that is. Plus, a bit of help from Stephen King, though not in person, LOL (There's something really OFF about that freezeframed photo above, YIKES!!)

The cast will really be making presences at cons? Like they are really going to try and sell the idea that season 8 was good? That people liked it? And D&D will be doing what? Working on star wars?

I have no idea what they are suposed to do… How do people involved in series that people hated act in cons? Can kit, emillia and some of the main cast even participate given how awfull their characters behaved this season? Won t they end up having to answer questions they don t have answers for?

He's really been hogging all the stupid this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwish Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 moral lessons; the south kills you the north kills you love kills you duty kills you honor kills you the roof kills you your relatives kill you your friends kill you greed kills you poverty kills you the bad guys kill you the good guys kill you so go and live in a cave with the wildlings and have a king for a tree so you can survive your lasting days after everyone you loved is dead from the things above. Or assign yourself to the faceless God next door... Practical... and most of all realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
