Beardy the Wildling Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Here's hoping the mods don't delete this. Now, we all know D&D are creative geniuses. They who coined the bad pussy and story-based elective monarchies deserve every honour they get. But they're not just ingenious storytellers; they also want you to know about it, as their Inside the Episode segments demonstrate. Thank goodness they're here to, in a display of humility akin to Ricegum, make their own Genius Explanation Video. So, anyone and everyone, what are your favourite insightful D&D lines? Here are a few of my most special quotes: You're the actor, just say the lines. Ramsay is a little bit more heroic than Joffrey... he... uh... fights. Euron will make Ramsay look like a little kid. And you have to start wondering... what the hell is this... plot? Stannis has always had a fight between family and ambition... and here, he finally chooses ambition and pays the price. Sansa... has been through a lot to reach the strength she has now, while Arya was already there, in a way. Creatively it made sense to us, because we wanted it to happen. God damn it, we want that zombie polar bear! There are plausible implausibilities and implausible implausibilities, and we tried to make the rescue a plausible implausibility. We really wanted to avoid the expected... Jon's had this history with the Night King... but it just didn't seem right for Jon to kill the Night King. We've known Arya would be the one to kill the Night King for three years. Well, Dany kinda forgot about the Iron Fleet and Euron's forces, but they certainly haven't forgotten about her. Euron probably wasn't paying attention to what Tyrion was saying. When Dany sees the Red Keep, the symbol of what's been taken from her family... this is the moment she decides to make it personal. Note: D&D can also refer to directors/other writers who've given stunning insights into how a grown-up, adult series like Game of Thrones handles things.

Ser Hedge Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 That sounds like a great collection to me, based on what I've read here on the forum. Since I haven't actually seen any of these genius insights on TV myself, I will restrict myself to supplying emoticons to the above You're the actor, just say the lines.

Oh, you're unacquainted? A shame. Allow me to introduce you to the line I forgot: 'Themes are for eighth-grade book reports'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have needed new emojis to keep up with Dumbbell and Doorstop had they continued with their stream-of-(un)consciousness verbal diarrhoea, but thankfully it looks like it's over!

SeanF Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 It was certainly encouraging to learn that repeated sexual abuse made Sansa a stronger person. In the same way that some public school teachers used to view forcible buggery as character -forming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wondered if she wasn't pretty enough. It's pretty much the only funny thing she ever said, twisted as it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of people who are eternally grateful they never got to be on Jim'll fix it. There's some awful footage from the early eighties of Jimmy Saville and Gary Glitter groping young teenage girls on Top of the Pops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how the topic of D&D ends up veering over to socially-accepted paedophiles. I'd argue D&D are about as perverse as they come, yet socially hailed as writing geniuses, so it all comes together.

Sex slaves give it away for free if they like you 3. Women say things like "I'm going to f*ck the tits off this one." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, that because he fights his own battles, Ramsay Bolton, a serial rapist and torturer, is a 'badass villain' who deserves more hero cred than Joffers.

aFeastForDragons Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 "the first time we see Stannis he is burning people" No he was burning wooden idols. These guys don't even know their own show.
