So when this series is all said and done what do you think they'll do next(if anything)? I imagine the amount of potential money is too much to just walk away so maybe a spinoff in the past? future? Any movies? A movie about Robert's Rebellion would be cool but TBH I don't know much of the history of Westeros. I expect one of the prequels will be the Dunk & Egg short stories. I could see them doing Aegon conquering Westeros too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it when Arya used it on the Waif. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably just let them sink down to wherever the dragon was. When I read that people were crying after seeing the leaked episode, I honestly thought we were in for something worse than this. The loss of a dragon was being predicted for quite a while, so I was actually kind of expecting it. Thoros is a likable guy, but not a huge loss. The real question is, how did Jon ride all the way back to Eastwatch without dying of hypothermia? A couple of questions about the Winterfell situation: Why wasn't Sansa's answer to Cersei's invitation, "Frack off"? Instead she sends Brienne into the Lion's den? Also agree on Arya. Not sure what game she's playing. If it's just a matter of creeping out her big sister, I'd say mission accomplished.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI5 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I enjoyed this episode but some odd situations. What was the Hound thinkin when he tossed the rock? The chains around the dragon seemed off but whatever. We all knew their was to be an ice dragon at some point. Why didn't Benjin just hop on the horse with Jon? The hoard of dead we're still quite distant from him. He could have just hung around Eastwatch if he couldn't completely cross the wall. The other dead trying to free the hostage wight was interesting as well. Didn't think they cared much for one another. A lot of unrealistic weird stuff but I still enjoyed it overall. Hope to avoid and episode 7 leaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I was also a bit surprised that Dany didn't ask Jon about his scars. She was pretty curious when Davos let it slip earlier. Now she's seen the scars and she has to be wondering about the "knife in the heart" thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were probably a couple hundred wights wondering around the bottom of the lake from the battle anyways. If the Night King can communicate with them, they'd just have to drop the chains. Where they got the chains from though I have no idea. Unless they were laying around Hardhome... I didnt understand this either. Little finger suggested that Brienne would be forced to protect one daughter if the other was to harm the other. The next thing we know Brienne is off to Kingslanding. Was she thinking of doing away with Arya? If anyone needs the protection of Brienne, it would be Sansa. Edited August 21, 2017 by Canorth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact when I saw people all over Twitter were "crying" after the episode and then I saw the scene where Arya tells Sansa what the faces are for, I was expecting a real fight between Brienne and Arya, where Brienne (or maybe Pod) end up getting Needled.... Who knew people had such a soft spot for Viserion? Also, the loss of one of Dany's dragons blows a rather large hole in a popular theory: Spoiler "The dragon has three heads". Many people believe(d) that means that we will see three dragon riders before the series ends. Jon is obviously rider #2, but many people also believed that Tyrion would be the third. (Remember the scene in Meereen, when Rhaegal and Viserion allow Tyrion to get up close and personal, without cooking him?) The theory goes that the Mad King exercised King's Prerogative with Joanna Lannister, impregnating her with what turned out to be her second son, Tyrion. So Tyrion is secretly a Targ and as such, a potential dragon rider. Unfortunately, with Viserrion's (un)death, it doesn't look like we'll see Dany, Jon and Tyrion riding (flying) into battle with the WW. I actually think the producers are steering us down a different path now. The dragons are far too vulnerable to those ice spears and the revelation that killing a WW also puts his personal foot soldiers out of action, (I wonder why we didn't see any evidence of this at Hardhome) tells me that the focus will shift to taking out the Night's King. Drogon and Rhaegal will be used to clear the path for Jon (probably) to go one on one with the NK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerrDrFunk Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 A lot of cool stuff happened in this episode.....but I feel like the quality of the show has taken a huge hit this season. Plot armour is well and truly in effect for the characters now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to whine, it is still a great show, but it is not the same show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Best line I read today regarding last night's episode: Quoting Tyrion to Dany "The most important person in the world can't go to the most dangerous place in the world", which is exactly what Kanye thinks before flying to Detroit for a concert....

I appreciate that you put your spoiler in "hidden contents" but without giving a heads up as to what to expect if you open it, its kind of pointless. Hidden or 'spoiler' tags are generally used for a reason... If you're in a popular movie/TV show thread, I think it's safe to assume you shouldn't open until after watching. Unless you don't care about being 'spoiled' anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they are.... and in this thread they are mostly used for spoilers/theories stemming from the books. Something I am a fan of and expected here. Most people will put a disclaimer for their spoiler, like the OP did after, out of courtesy. Like I said in my post, I should have expected a spoiler for the leaked episode considering the nature of the conversation in the thread at the time, but I also enjoy reading theories. Not sure why its too much to ask for a heads up rather than a blind spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could he have initially noted 'spoiler', as he eventually did, out of courtesy? Sure. But you could have also waited a couple days to have read it just in case. Or quoted him asking if it was a spoiler or not. Or... You had options - and responsibility for one's own actions.

Tre Mac Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I expected more deaths, I was kind of disappointed. The scenes with Arya and Sansa are becoming Cringe worthy, Frost Dany was looking hawt! I know this is probably nothing but Bran, the old 3 eyed Raven and the Night King all walk the same weird way with their arms like it suppose to be on purpose. I am a feeling the season finale will be one huge cliff hanging tease. Also looks like the Night King looted a Proto Drake Mount(that's a WoW reference).

You haven't seen the last released or leaked episode do not open this thread. It's not everyone else's job to hold your hand.
