OT: All things Game of Thrones thread (SPOILERS INSIDE)

[Oskar Man]

 

[Beef Invictus]

Everyone ready for the culling?

 

[Chinatown88]

 

[Juicy Pop]

I’m dead.

[Hollywood Cannon]

I'm not ready for Hodor.

 

[baudib1]

Hodor brings up another possibility. Bran isn't just the Three-Eyed Raven, he has the ability to warg. Could be important in this battle.

I just hope it's good and we don't have some b.s. time traveling stuff to escape the whitewalkers.

Thanos picked up the 7th 'undead' stone, he's gonna snap and kill the night king, taking out the entire army. He then goes and retires in Highgarden cause it's pretty there and they're all dead anyway.

You have to say that the show has done a really good job of filming the big battles, the big moments. However, every big fight seems to end with one side losing and the cavalry arriving to save the day. You had Tywin arriving to win the Battle of the Blackwater; the Knights of the Vale in Battle of the Bastards. Dany shows up with her dragons to save the expedition north of the Wall.

It'd be nice if we got something different.

Like the Night King killing everyone...

EDIT: It's going to be Skeleton Ned to save the day at the end this time though.

 

[Juicy Pop]

I’d really like there to be some greater thing underpinning the world other than just a secret weapon gone awry. I doubt that the show can give us that though.

It’s been a huge letdown to just see the Others losing all the mystery only to become cliche zombies with a frosty lich at the helm.

It’s been a huge letdown to just see the Others losing all mystery only to become cliche zombies that happen to be really cold.

It's really difficult in fantasy/sci-fi to create an interesting world with interesting villains. For instance, in LOTR and Harry Potter you just have big bads who are bad for the sake of being bad. (I realize the story of Sauron is much deeper than what is shown in the movies, but for the most part, it's a pretty black and white world.

GOT has had terrific human monsters but the NK and white walkers are boring AF.

I’d honestly be really happy to see them overcome the WW/Others only to find that they’ve been holding some cosmic horror at bay for millennia.

 

[VladDrag]

I miss the days of knowing what was going to happen before the show aired (I read the books). Looking forward to tonight

Skeleton Ned with undead Stark cavalary.

They're really sliding into an ice age due to thousands of years of irresponsible Wildling farts

 

[baudib1]

I think it is really likely we will find that Bran set all of the events in GOT in motions decades or even millennia prior.

 

[Juicy Pop]

Episode is leaked in gif format.

 

[VladDrag]

Episode is leaked in gif format.

Legit?

 

[Juicy Pop]

Legit?

Yeah but it’s basically just 500 screen caps strung together. There is serious info to be gleaned but it’s really unsatisfying to watch because the images are also super low res.

I will just wait an hour

Skeleton Ned with undead Stark cavalary.

Skeleton Ned leads an undead Stark cavalry that is escorted to the battle via Ghost Ships helmed by Brandon the Shipwright.

And ghost dragons that followed Lyanna to the great beyond.

To be fair they were original when GRRM started out, before the abysmal zombie fad hit in the mid 2000s.

It’s about to go down
