Game of Thrones *NO BOOK DISCUSSION* |OT2| Season 7 - [Read the OP]
- Thread starter Cornballer
- Start date
Damn, that's a long time then.
Yea, this is my favorite show of all time. I need to keep physical copies of this stuff.
Kind of incredible that possibly two of the most spoilerific episodes (4 and now 6) of the whole season have been leaked by HBO *themselves*. Beyond annoying. Stay off Youtube if you watch a lot of thrones content.
Also, episode 6 is officially titled
per HBO's website.
Also, episode 6 is officially titled
Beyond the Wall
At this point it'd be better to wait until next year when the entire show wraps up.

Well this is awkward.
Walmart has season 6 for $29 right now.
I think we can all expect the masterclass director of Thor, The Second Dark World to be given the golden AAA keys budget by HBO Sunday. Pretty confident.
Well, we might not get season 8 until 2019, so that means waiting 2 plus years for a hopeful series collection box.

I think there's much more to it than that. Jon the dragon has direwolf heritage, was raised by and with the direwolves, has fought the winter war north of the wall, and that's all he cares about right now. He's ice as hell, fire raised by ice.
The fire in Jon's life didn't really start playing a role until his resurrection, and meeting with Dany.
And Dany meeting Jon is helping to cool her down.
Jon and Dany = a song of ice and fire
also, half ice/half fire (Jon) and fire Dany) is still literally ice and fire.
Season 6 DVD/Bluray came out around December 2016 I think though, way before Season 7 even started.
With luck, the season 7 DVD/Bluray will come out early 2018.
oh, well thats good then.
Littlefinger should be no match for someone who trained with the faceless men.
Why?
...Joffrey?
Littlefinger trained with the brotherhood without motivations.
If you keep them confused, they won't know whether to fight you or not.

I love Pokken!
Saw this on reddit, got a chuckle
Why? Littlefinger has dealt with people far smarter and more cunning than her. Arya has NEVER dealt with someone as cunning as him.
And Arya rejected a big fundamental aspect of her training and left early. She's like a padawan that quit, not a jedi master.

So they're like Romero zombies? Should be easy to kill then...
it does seem silly, but the Wall is the big obstacle here. So it makes it a little less silly.
When has Joffrey personally went on a murder spree? I don't think he killed anyone with his bare hands his entire life.
The unspoken rule of court intrigue, at least in Westeros, is that you never personally went around shanking people. It's all done through intermediaries. Arya doesn't give two shits about this kind of intrigue. The only reason anyone inconvenient to her is alive in Winterfell right now is because she doesn't want to cause trouble for Jon or Sansa.
What relevance does doing it yourself have to do with anything?
Edit: Also, not that it matters but at the very least he killed that prostitute, Roz I think.
Cersei?
Pretty sure the White Walkers have just been spending time wandering around and mustering their army. The giants are a testament to that.
Because Littlefinger might be all smirk-smirk-wink-wink around her thinking he'll get away with his dastardly plans but if he looks at her wrong she'll cut him down right there. Most kings and lords don't behave like this.
You really do have to picture a band of wights going dere's a wall there George, let's go the other way, dere's a wall there George, let's go the other way repeated for thousands of years.
Meanwhile the Night King hopes for an evolution that will make them less stupid.

Yeah I assume they've been up there killing the hell out of everything alive in the North and bolstering their ranks. Like you said they have a bunch of Giants now and there were likely still Wildlings scattered about up there.
I can't believe you can believe this in a world where Joffrey was king and Cersei is now Queen.

Well, this is a bit silly. The whole thing is assuming they went straight south and have been heading for the wall the whole time. They could be going west a bit first, gathering more people. Or the more likely option is they stopped and are cooking smores.

it's really annoying with the Blu-rays though because
1. they don't let you pick up from where you left off, if you don't finish an episode or something you always gotta search it again
2. the scenes are so blocked together and not divided properly so if you skip a scene you skip a huge chunk
3. there are so many discs. these are blu-rays and the episodes are hours long, they should be able to fit more episodes per disc. some discs just have 1 fucking episode
but it's still worth it to own them on Blu-ray because it's game of thrones
the only reason i'd argue not to buy it is if they're gonna come out with 4K blu-ray versions

Littlefinger has pretty much spent his whole life outsmarting killers, I dunno why his intellect should crumble just because he's going against a Faceless Man.
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
Joffrey and Cersei haven't done anything that real monarchs in human history haven't done or were ever incapable of doing.
However unless I've missremembered my history we haven't had a monarch who can go Assassin's Creed on their enemies. Arya exists on the level of fictional superkillers like James Bond and Hannibal Lecter. This is the point I'm trying to make.
Yeah, I'm kind of at a loss why people are treating him like some bumbling idiot.

Night King is a warg. He's just marching around gathering corpses until the right moment. And yeah the wall.
No, I understand your point, I just think it is incredibly weak and doesn't make much sense if you consider everyone else that Littlefinger has been surrounded by throughout the show.

Everyone, be careful. I just went to youtube to look for something and on the home page, one of their randomized "recently uploaded" videos was a scene for episode 6 someone uploaded and it was a spoiler.
So watch out when you go to youtube, you might get spoiled by something accidentally. Don't have wandering eyes until Sunday night when you go to youtube. Just a head's up. Can't believe youtube hasn't taken them down yet, but oh well.

Jaqen H'ghar would be on their level. Littlefinger couldn't handle him. But Arya is nothing like that. Arya is like D-league faceless man, not an all-star. She's pretty terrible at anything that involves outsmarting someone.
I really would like a compilation of how many times this phrase is uttered on the show.
One character attempts to question why some choice either isn't feasible or why something terrible already happened, and another character says
"They/he/she knows the <region/sea/castle/political situation> better than we ever could.

i always assumed White Walkers were waiting until winter was in season before they strike. Correct me if I am wrong but it's not winter in all of Westeros yet right?
Harrison Bergeron

Yeah, I think it's only winter in the North at this point. Or at least not high winter anywhere else in Westeros but the North.
They're waiting until everyone starts wearing parkas in King's Landing.
