Game of thrones, season 7

[Colon]

Yeah, I've also seen it suggested that Arya's weird gesture with the knife was aimed at Littlefinger. I really hope it did.

Please take your leaks and go away. You clearly hate the show and continually talk it down and now you are trying to ruin it for others with next season chatter. Just go away from this thread and take your spoilers with you. Let us enjoy it at the pace it it is presented.

You are asking me to leave my own thread? :/

Let alone that i am not discussing leaks, other than in spoilers, and even then it is just allusion.

Halfway through the episode I was wondering if GoT was going to go back to its old ways of killing off people everyone thought had plot armor. I had hopes when Jon fell into the water (which you basically wouldn't survive even if you weren't being simultaneously attacked by dead people, if only to hypothermia). But the only casualty with a name from this episode was Thoros. Kind of underwhelming.

It is nice to know that they've given up even pretending that time actually exists on this show. Fastest ravens known to man.

To be fair it's clear that he's gained some superpowers post resurrection. Like uncle Ben minus the bad skin.

I kinda agree. Some of the chronology in this episode can't be excused and it's a little immersion-breaking.

They should become Jedi. I was waiting for something like "Jon, go to the Dagobah system" and all that.

 

[Snerk]

On the whole I did really like the episode though. Really tense and engaging. Shame about Thoros of Myr, but someone had to die, I expected more deaths to be honest, they got of easy.

Arya and Sansa are both fools, but I believe in their foolishness.

And I genuinely didn't see the ice-dragon bit coming (I should have), and it's going to be teh awsum!!

 

[Thorgalaeg]

Yeah, I wonder if it will spit fire or iced lemonade.

The white walker boss is pretty badass in case. He can resurrect deaths and may put any olympic javelin thrower to shame. I was hopping something more refined as a blizzard spell to protect his army from dragon strike fighters though.

 

[Snerk]

Diamonds and crystal meth.

 

[Katakanja]

Diamonds and crystal meth.

I thought you said no leaked spoilers in the thread?

 

[Akka]

Yeah, you should. That's literally the first thing I thought about when she got killed !

(reminded me of Arthas raising Sindragosa )

 

[Kyriakos]

I have to assume there will be some kind of Cleg bowl in the next episode. Not that the Mountain did anything this season. He has been pretty much dead. ( ).

Overall, it was a good episode...With some glaring flaws...I think the shortened season is hurting the show, since things are now being rushed a lot and there's barely any time to develop the different story arcs anymore...It's all one big rush to the finish line...I don't care about the so-called teleporting, to be honest, but last episode it was ridiculous...I also don't like the fact that Arya fell for the deception laid by Little Finger and that Sansa, knowing that he shouldn't be trusted, sends the one person that can bring sense to both Stark sisters -Brienne of Tarth- away...I hope it's just a plan to bust him, but I'm not really optimistic...
I accidentally read a spoiler about the dragon dying and being resurrected, so that killed the surprise for me...I hope next episode doesn't get leaked, but there's already this hacker group threatening HBO with releasing it if they don't pay a $6.5 million ransom...

I don't mind the Arya/Sansa feud (they used to hate each other so much) but sending Brienne away was just weird. I mean Littlefinger had just advised Sansa to keep her around and for once it was pretty good advice (Littlefinger has everything to lose from Sansa getting murdered by Arya so he probably meant it).

Starting a thread doesn't give you any ownership rights. It's kind of dickish to start threads about things one doesn't like just to annoy people who'd like discussion rather than constant whinging.

But the only casualty with a name from this episode was Thoros.

Viserion?

 

[AdrienIer]

Viserion?

Let's just say he switched sides.

 

[Kyriakos]

Let's just say he switched sides.

Uncle Deus ex Machina also died.

 

[Snerk]

Though Benjen has been presumed dead before.

Has there been any known case where hackers got really ransomware in the millions of dollars? (or at least hundreds of thousands?)

I was really hoping they would show Denarys receive the message to rescue Jon not from an ordinary raven carrying a written note, but from a warged raven that speaks articulately and either claims or is presumed to be Bran.

(In the books, it is stated that ravens were first used by Greenseers to send spoken messages long before writing was invented, and even the more skeptical Maesters believe that the bird were once trained to parrot back short phrases.)

It might have been nice if they later revealed that that bird not sent by Bran, but was an instrument that Night's King used to speak to her directly and lure the dragons into his trap. They could reveal this with another scene with Bran, with another raven actually controlled by Bran, or by someone noticing that the original raven is dead but still moving around in its cage.
