Craig H Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Just, the biggest fucking smile plastered on my face for so much of that episode, counteracted by stressing the fuck out over Drogon being in danger and not wanting bronn and Jamie to die. BRONN AND JAMIE, JOIN DANY. IT WILL GO MUCH BETTER. K THANKS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 That picture made me realize that I'm excited about a Tyrion/Bronn reunion way more than a Tyrion/Jaime reunion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I don't think anyone complained that the season started slow. I think people mainly talked about how quickly the season was moving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 No one here did, but there have been a lot of snyde comments online about how this season started off with a slow burn just like last season. Seems they forgot how awesomely last season ended and this season is on track to conclude just as spectacularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigertooth Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I also thought that for all they've done to build up Brienne as a badass, it did more to bring her down than put Arya over as a sudden ninja. I think they could have done a deal where Arya did better-than-expected at dodging, but not necessarily getting much offense in. Would've pushed Arya without jobbing Brienne as bad. So in the big battle, where were the other dragons? Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought the previous episode they established that Dany and her brood are a set. You don't send some dragons off without Dany. I guess maybe they're willing to hang out at Dragonstone, but can't be sent out on a mission without her? I was also a little bummed that Dany came in perpendicular to the shield wall rather than attacking at a 90 degree angle so Drogon could hit one strafing run to light up the entire wall. Dammit, Tyrion, learn how to fight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was classic overconfident babyface monster vs. small babyface underdog. The monster takes the underdog lightly (BoT looks amused at first and doesn't go that hard), the underdog uses their speed to their advantage (Ninja Arya), monster gets semi-serious (BoT finally putting some weight behind her strikes, forcing Arya to drop Needle) and the underdog survives when the time limit draw occurs (BoT has sword to Arya's face just as Arya gets Catspaw at BoT's neck). As long as BoT gets to smash some White Walkers or Lannister men in the upcoming episodes she'll be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they broke the record for most people on fire while filming. There is video of it somewhere too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't happening, everybody knows it ain't happening, so nobody's really hurt by it not happening. Winter is Coming has given way to Winter is Here, and that means the Starks are in their element and it's time for their enemies to at last reap the whirlwind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I'm thinking it's way too late in the game for that sort of twist. They would have foreshadowed it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yeah, there's no way they go with that now. God I'm so ready for Arya, Brienne, Jon, and the army of the North to wreck shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throat Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I was about to sarcastically say "Let's bring every character back from the dead!" and then it occurred to me that that might be how the show ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
