I gave my wife a hard time for skipping over the Musafa murder scene in the lionking, when my four year old son, at the time, first saw it. Once I saw what bron was up to, I skipped the ending of this episode . i'll leave it there.
Not gonna link the post I am replying to in the other thread: Spoiler But Dad Tarly and Rickon/Dickon/Smickon will get roasted for not bending the knee to Dany.
The conversation between Tormund and the Hound in episode 6 is the best. The one with Arya and Sansa, the worst.
Thanks @heypartner! Have a lot of y'all seen it? I couldn't help myself because I was really hoping that none of the magnificent 7 died and had to find out today
One of , if not the best episodes of the entire series. Vicerion's death was absolutely brutal...they way played it out frame by frame really made us feel for him. Probably the saddest death on the show by far.
Now the Night King has a dragon, and he can kill a dragon by himself. Also why didn't he kill drogon. He was siting right there. Instead he wanted a kill a flying dragon. By all accounts the Night King is super smart. The first few seasons of GOTs were mostly grounded. Heros died no super crazy things happened. Now we have Ben Jen riding in saving Jon Snow out of nowhere, Ravens flying at the speed of light, and Dany teleporting her dragons. Why didn't she have her dragons breath fire at Night King?
Then the story would be over. LOL. That's the short end of it. Spoiler I was sort of thinking Jon Snow might be captured by the Night King and somehow be given the authority to lead the army of the dead and be the dragon rider of Viserion even. Instead of Jon Snow being the protaganist, he becomes the main antagonist of the show and we finally get an understanding of the motives of the White Walkers. Provide a lot of muddled gray area morality behind the White Walkers to make them not be full evil and make the audience not feel sure who to root for by the time the series is over. I remember reading this one book theory that compared A Song of Ice and Fire to Ragnarok and I really liked that theory of perpetual war in an endless cycle between the White Walker's God vs the red God R'hllor. It would have made for an interesting twist. That said I'm good with how the episode played out despite my failed guess where the episode was gonna go.
So not only does the Night King have the Undertaker's power of raising his arms and things happen, but apparently he was also an Olympic javelin thrower in his previous life. Had to roll eyes when I saw that.
That episode had the worst dialogue of any episode yet. They couldn't even make a conversation between Thormund and the Hound be entertaining. I can't even remember what they talked about, but I was bored. Every conversation by the party north of the wall was terrible as was the conversations between Sansa and Arya.
I won't lie, I screamed "holy sh*t" when old mate white walker bear fodder was running back to the group and then out of the blizzard jumps another bear. That was brutal. Thoros sliding his hand along the blade and it subsequently catching alight was great. Tormund's face when talking about Brienne is hilarious. I'm happy they are in main character save mode and he didn't get taken into the water. After the ravens went supersonic all the way to Dragonstone, I was giddy like a little school kid when Dany told Tyrion she is not going to sit around and do nothing again, and off went the dragons. But, how awesome would it have been if Dany is just talking to Tyrion out on the cliff, and all of a sudden Drogon screeches and launches himself into the air. Shocked, Dany jumps on one of the other dragons to follow, and then is lead all the way to North of the Wall and Drogon on his own starts wrecking the Wights... that would've been bad ass. So let down with the Night King being able to kill a dragon just by reliving his high school quarterback days. They have their ice dragon now though I guess, and I cannot wait to see how that plays out in the future.
