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

[Xant]

Our heroes traveled for what seemed like most of the day before being surrounded, but let's say it was 15 miles. They send Robert-lite to run to Castle Black.
Let's be generous and say he makes it there after about 3 hours of running.
They find him outside the gate when he's half dead and can't even talk. Going to be a minimum of 30 minutes until they can get the exact location of Jon & co + what they need + the message written and a raven sent.

The Wall is about 1000 miles from Dragonstone. Ravens can fly ~300 miles..... in a day.
But the raven arrives at Dragonstone. It gets received, Dany does some arguing about it, chooses a fancy wardrobe, etc. 30-60 minutes again.
Then she flies from Dragonstone to beyond the Wall. On a dragon, that are in the same ballpark as ravens speedwise, from everything we know and have seen. And ravens travel 300 miles in a day.

So all of this, the 2000 mile journey, the 15+ mile run, the writing of messages and receiving and arguing and getting dressed, etc...

Happens while Jon and company are surrounded, the light doesn't change, and nothing suggests they were stuck there longer than some hours at the most.

10/10 writing imo

So Bran really is the Nights King why else would the Nights King and his generals be brandishing ice javelins which we have never seen them carry prior? I mean did he know that there was a dragon he was going to meet to throw them at beforehand?
And wth does the Nights King have a steel chain factory somewhere?!! He has chains that size is that how he was going to take down the wall after attaching the anchors on them and having the giants throw them over the wall and pull?
It would have been better if he walked to the edge of the water cast his spell then show his eyes blue under water, with a bigger budget have him fly out of water with blue eyes etc.

And one would think that after the events of the spoils of war Danaeris would wear some armor and not some royal garb a princess wears to go shopping in.

6 was better than 5 but Danny still not wearing real armor, femininists should be on an uproar. 

Time travel is stupid.  No way the Raven makes it to dragon rock that fast.

Writters are clearly not fantasy nerds, they are just soap opera writters.  GG RR Martin gave up
His creative license in the contract it's clear.

Idk I think I will boycott the rest of the series.

Game of Thrones, the biggest disappointment after Okam and Turkey.

Was most surprised at random extras. Watching the chasing scene, one kid gets killed and im like "oh shit which one just died??" and then they group up and I can see everyone is alive...

Yeah those fucking extras, people kept dying and I thought oh shit who's that, oh wait, another extra I never noticed?. They've really fucked this show up for me now, some horrible decisions have been made ever since they left the books behind, but this episode killed it for me. It is becoming like any other shitty cheap action cheesy American TV series and is making less sense than ever, that episode was so bad that I am not even looking forward to the next one at all, I have no hope left that they will get anywhere near doing this story justice.

Hopefully in 10 years or so we can get a reboot that actually follows the book ending. On second though, who am I kidding, it's gonna be another 20 years until they're done if he even lives that long.

[Oberyn]

What I hope happens is an animated tv show version/reboot at some point. Animation deals with all the logistics and budget problems that constrained the TV show and eventually turned it into a soap opera that just happens to take place in the ASOIAF world, would make it much easier to be truer to book storyline.

What will probably happen is a Dunk and Egg show right after GoT ends. I think the focus on only one storyline with clear protagonists is a lot more suited to a live action tv show tbh. It would be hard to fuck up, and just from the IP it would automatically have a large base viewership.

[njames89]

Dunk and Egg would be easiest I agree. But I would rather see the blackfyre rebellion

[Jona]

I know they said that they wouldn't be making a direct prequel, but I for one would love to see a miniseries about Robert's Rebellion. It's such an important part of history that directly causes mostly everything that we see in the current series, and yet we only know the most general of details about it. Time to delve into the nitty-gritty.

[Oberyn]

Blackfyre rebellion is only seen through bits and pieces and flashbacks in other stories though. There's no actual book plot following it, and no in-depth canon. I wouldn't trust some random hollywood hacks to carve anything compelling out of it. Same for Robert's Rebellion.

[njames89]

Regardless I want more whatever they do make I will watch the crap out of it

[Xant]

Duncan the Tall reminded me of GRRM's weird height fetish. Most characters in his books are over 200cm tall, and he frequently has 220-240cm characters. Funny when he's 165cm himself. No prizes for guessing whether he was always insecure about it...

So I guess "Dunk and Egg" and "Roberts Rebellion" are off the table for a spin off series and the spin offs will be prequels that do not involve any current characters and some will probably not be set in Westeros. Welp any interest I had in a spin off is gone now.
