Game Of Thrones

[Tiggnutz]

Was Bran warging just to lead the night king to him? Because if there was another purpose it ceased at some point during the whole Raven flying by a dragon thing, no?

That's actually what I think he was doing, using himself as bait.

I’m hoping that’s how that works. Otherwise why didn’t he become the ice dragon? That seems more useful.

I don't think wargs can take over dead things

That probably makes sense. I think he still achieved more than Damascus. She really looked bad with a sword. Maybe intentionally but good lord. Take a lesson!

Arya though, pretty badass. I thought her stabbing the night king would damage her arm etc only to recall it wasn’t the witch king of Angmar.

And I know it’s a minor point but what was the point of sending out the Dothraki, and why face them in open combat on a field instead of within the castle walls. That’s literally the point of a fucking castle!

I would of used the dragons to soften them up first than send Dothraki in but to be honest they were expendable like the unsullied were. Except Greyworm if I could award a penis to anyone it would be him he is a badass.

Dothraki weren't close quarter fighters anyway, they're out-in-the-open bad asses, and they were hoping that they'd make a real dent due to their reputation.

I got into a semi argument last night with a friend who's been showing signs of major sexism over the past few months, and he's pissed about this last episode because Jon didn't get to take on the Night King. He wanted it predictable vanilla boring resolution and thinks that would've been better writing, going the old and tired trope way. He tried to backpaddle and say he would've been still cool with Arya getting the killing blow, but still wanted Jon to face off (as if the dragon riding battle wasn't enough) and Arya swoops in and saves her brother.

I pointed out that she actually did do that...just a different brother

[DancesWithWerewolves]

I would say I'm disappointed in how Ghost was used though. Was excited to see him out there, then he just disappeared with the Dothraki like he was an extra instead of part of the ensemble.

[Monster]

I expected a real fight between Jon and the Night King with him probably getting the kill. While I would have liked to see them square off, I'm not complaining too much. Arya is an infinitely more interesting character.

[Headhunter]

Bro-flakes crying over Arya killing the Night King all over the internet.

Insecure dudes are everywhere in nerd culture.

How’s it go down in the books?

Show's been ahead of the books for the past three seasons, meanwhile George R.R. Martin has been binging on coke, Mexican hookers and Philly cheesesteaks. He's never gonna finish them and I for one don't blame him at all.

[Headhunter]

Btw, GRRM not being British is one of the biggest upsets of all time. I couldn't comprehend it.

Ah, so that’s what you meant earlier, they’ve gone ahead versus cutting him out or summat. And yeah they could want to end it with Jon going into space and fucking a space mutant, there’d be zero time for another book.

Well they have all of his outlines for how storylines play out but thats very different than hundreds of pages of actual dialogue and detail. All the cool political scheming, betrayals and whatnot really peak in the first few seasons. It's very Hollywood now, nothing subtle left.

[Headhunter]

And really the first season stands apart from the rest of the show in how small-scale it feels. They got a proper HBO budget after they saw how successful it was going to be. Now they have Marvel budgets.

I guess they aren’t great as horselords it in a castle. But even then just charging out was pretty senseless. Really a shame.

If I have one complaint about Game of Thrones it's misuse of Dire wolves

Never read'em. But what Head said.

[showa58taro]

The wolf. I forgot he was there in one scene and never seen again. Very odd.

[Headhunter]

He showed up at the end!

Did he?! Where?
