Game of Thrones Seasons 7-8
About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that... For future us, 2015 thread is here: Link Last edited by keg in kc; 06-21-2017 at 10:48 AM.. |

It should have been Jon Snow vs Grey Worm after Dany was killed. Jon kills Grey Worm and then ****s off to the North because he doesn’t want anything to do with 6-7 Kingdoms.

They're good at adapting. They're trash at creating.

It would have been nice if they had realized no one really gives a rats ass about grey worm and his no worm.

Doesn’t mean it was garbage. As far as hitting bottom, give me the whole of the season over the sand snake noise. |

Would be funny if Martin made him the Westeros equivalent of Leto II, as a tribute to Frank Herbert.

Here's kind of a fascinating one:
In short, as the show went on we steadily got less dialog and more action. That's neither good nor bad, but it does show the shift away from characters to plot I think. |

However it should be noted that some of the highest rated episodes (Battle of the Bastards, Hold the Door, Light of the Seven) were light on dialogue. |

It's funny though - I've started re-watching it and it's kinda shocking how far they go in each season.
I mean Bran's shooting arrows in Episode one and by Episode 5 the entire Stark clan is imprisoned, crippled or at war. Poor Jory Cassel didn't even survive halfway through the season. Things move just a little faster than we remember. And the worst parts of the entire show were some of those middle seasons where shit was interminable. I agree that some of the pacing concerns are legitimate, but at least to a degree we ought be careful what we wish for. Some of what we THINK we remember isn't quite the way we remembered it and some of the things we want now we actually hated when they struggled to walk that line. |

Is it?
Is that a show thing I missed? Because by all book accounts, the three eyed raven was Brynden Rivers and he would've been in the 125-130 year old range during the events of the show. And evidently he'd been all but dead as a human for decades but had become something of a brain built into a tree at that point. Like he was literally tapped into the roots of a weirwood (?) and that was what was keeping him alive. Bran's just gonna age and die like a normal person unless he taps into the underground tree network. At least that would be the book canon. |
