GAME OF THRONES - SEASON 7 - SPOILERS INSIDE - 7/16/2017

[Xant]

What the lord Jesus happened in the capture scene? Jon takes out the WW and all the other dead men go poof... except, coincidentally, for the one they need? What the fuck. That's got to be the laziest writing I've ever seen.

[Xant]

Thoros of Myr - Seems unlikely. He doesn't get a whole lot of screen time but he is one of those "mysterious" spell casters who can bring people back from the dead.

They NEED to get rid of people who can bring others back to life, or death has no meaning on the show. Something will happen either to Melisandre or her ability to resurrect, too.

[Asheram]

Hbos next series- The Hedge Knight, Tales of Dunk and Egg.

[Xant]

Well this episode answers the "who's going to be the third dragon rider" question

[Asheram]

Unless there's an ancient hibernating dragon under dragonstone they unearth while mining the obsidian.

There's still Bran with that big "But you will fly" foreshadowing flying over his head (Unless he was just talking about ravens, then what the actual fuck). Now he just has to battle the Nightkings abilities to do it, plus, warging an undead dragon is much cooler than a simple alive one.
Not enough death in this episode. I can see past the capture-situation, but how the fuck did only thoros die?! And why the hell were they swinging fucking daggers at them...

Technically more than Thoros died, they ended up bringing a few expendable extras! But yeah, almost surprising that no other main characters (if berrick or the gendry can even be considered main characters) bit the dust. I half expected Jon and Berrick to be mortally wounded, and Berrick tells Thoros to resurrect Jon instead of him as a nod to what he does in the books. As for the daggers, they all had to use their obsidian weapons on the wights. At least Tormund was smart and made an axe with the stuff. And that one extra who made it into a polearm. Seriously... daggers/butcher knives over spears? C'mon people. Slashy weapons like the daggers would at most survive a couple swings... obsidian is brittle stuff that would break awfully quickly if you swung it around at some frozen corpses.

[Xant]

Where did all those extras come from anyway? Looked like there were only 1-2 while they were walking, but like 4-5 of them died.

Also, half of that episode was people Talking While Walking In Snowy Landscape, and they kept rotating talking partners. Must've been like 7 scenes of that.

Ah yeah, i forgot that it's dragonglass. Still silly.

Too many plotarmors to begin with, though. Beric being brought back so often just to stroll along a plan that would have been performed anyway? Nah, the Lord of Light is shown to be way too important to do such a stupid thing. Hound is needed for Cleganebowl, Gendry will make Valerian Steel again, Tormund had too much "romance" with the big woman to just be killed off now, Jorah with his healing-screentime could have died in front of Dany but then again the show went a wee bit cuddly with us to do that and then there's Jon, hahaha as if, and Thoros.
I feel like there is way too much fanservice going on. Still liked the episode and Viserion dieing was really fucking sad, but i'm really just only surprised that we got the undead dragon this early and not as the finisher in ep7. Guess the wall's gonna be gone before the credits roll next week.

I do like how that little Starkcunt nibbled on mah man LFs bait. Just wished it didn't get that much screentime.

@Xant: Lots and lots of background story behind those who were just thrown together like that, they absolutely had to address some of it.

Also use some spoiler-tags, maybe?! Even though it's not technically spoiling a whole lot, we're still quite a few days away from it actually airing.

Yeah the whole rez thing seems off even in the books. I mean if resurrection was a thing I am pretty sure the earlier Targaryns would have known or at least heard of it and if so why wasn't Baeler Breakspear given a rez after his brother accidentally killed him. He was supposed to be an honorable man and was next in line for the throne after his father Daemon.

Rezzing peeps has really only served one purpose: to bring Jon back to life. The fact that Berrick is rezzed imo is just there to make it seem more a "part" of the GoT universe. If Jon was the only guy that ever came back to life it'd be as cheesy as in any other series where the heroes are basically invincible (think comic books where they die and come back, die and come back, over and over). It isn't like Berrick himself has ever accomplished anything, so why bring him back a bunch? To confirm that getting rezzed is something the lord of light does to whomever he sees fit, and that Jon is no special snowflake. In the books Berrick was rezzed a bunch so that way lady stoneheart could come about, but A) we still don't know if she really has a purpose even in the books and B) she was obviously neglected in the show, so that just makes it seem like Berrick is even more useless.

Jon: Come with me
Benjen: There's no time (wtf?)
*Que sad music*

lmao

Arya and Sansa were fucking retarded this episode. They try to make both look cool in their own way obviously but everytime they bring Sansa's character out of the dirt, they put her back down just to make Arya look cool. Regardless, those scenes were fucking stupid and I don't even know what sort of plot is going on in Winterfell tbh. Can someone explain to me what it is Sansa is trying to do?

People should wear hats when in the north, it's pretty cold.

Why is Jon running away just to kill some random wights? I understand why he killed the first one but he keeps going at it. Fucking retard,
 BoB flashbacks.

All in all, the episode was poorly written, atleast they've been very consistent with that the last 2 seasons.

[Leesin]

Honestly I thought episode 6 was one of the worst, if not the worst episodes of the entire series. The whole episode was pretty shit and the decisions in how they're taking the main story is starting to stink of the same old cheesy OTT heroic formulas, as you can see in your usual American TV series shitbag, like "The 100". The main story took a massive turn for the worst in this one episode alone in my opinion ( yes, my opinion, I will not assume many or all will share it ). The whole episode was just silly, had a bunch of pointless bullshit between Arya and Sansa that could have been condensed into less scenes and the whole heroic party adventure beyond the wall just seemed retarded as a whole, as well as how it all ended. The very ending of the episode was predictable and I expected it to happen at some point, but the way they went about it was shitty. It's left a bad taste in my mouth, what they chose to do with the main story arc was dogshit and to top it off, it was badly executed. I am not going to write much more about it as I don't really want to touch on any spoilers, just don't get your hopes up for a quality, well executed episode.

If that's the last we saw of Benjen, that was the worst scene in the history of TV shows.

Seriously, what the fuck?

He just arrives out of nowhere, oh wow he's still alive!! Hi Uncle Benjen!!! hi jon take my horse bye. Ok uncle ben come with me. no........ theres no time!!! *dies*


Also, apparently it takes just a couple of hours to run to Castle Black, send a raven to Dragonstone, wait for it to arrive, then fly from Dragonstone to beyond the wall. Who knew.

If only they'd taken the three dragons in the first place to capture one undead they could've all been home safe in 2 hours tops....

[Asheram]

Wow this really is stupid writing.

(click to show/hide)

Dany to Tyrion "I dont want you to be a hero, heroes do stupid things and they die- Drogo, Jorah, Darrio even this Jon Snow." The only fkn one on that list that is dead is Drogo. And Drogo didn't die being a "hero" he died from her suffocating him because the bloodmagic that the witch warned her about if she performed the ritual she wanted turned him into a vegetable.

I was really hoping the whole episode would be beyond the wall.
