This image from one of the GOT reddits had me dying. 360 No Scope NightKingxxx420

Alright fuck this got me. I'm tight.

 

[Darryl M R]

All of this Arya hate is really bothering. I guess Little Finger has shills on GAF.

 

[DangerMouse]

Pretty glad and amazed that many made it out.

 

[FiggyCal]

What a weird coincidence that everyone """"predicted"""" that the dragon would be killed and resurrected by the Whitewalkers.

 

[DragoonKain]

Does the magical power of the wall prevent you from flying over it with a dragon?

Anyone know?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Why are people always complaining about time?

 

[Doc Holliday]

Really Arya... Chill the fuck out

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Wait this season is only 7 episodes? Who the hell made that decision?

 

[rucury]

Great episode. Arya and the Night King can fuck off, though.

I guess I've forgotten, but since when can Dany not have children?

Witch cursed her vagina

 

[Ruff]

Didn't three dragons leave with Dany? Why did I only see 2 beyond the wall? Maybe my sleepiness was making me miss things.

 

[Volimar]

Damn these wight dragon memes are suspiciously fast.


In the preview there's

Spoiler

a shot with Podrick. Is that Brienne in the back by Davos? It would have been amazing if Arya and Sansa just had Brienne go out of town a short distance but still be near to help with LF. But nah I think she actually went south.

What a weird coincidence that everyone """"predicted"""" that the dragon would be killed and resurrected by the Whitewalkers.

I mean to be fair, people predicted that since the first season.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Sansa and Arya have to be putting on a show for Littlefinger. They know he's watching/spying on them, they're setting him up for something. I refuse to believe otherwise.

yeah its too dumb otherwise. let's hope

 

[VincentMatts]

This show really stresses me out, Jesus Christ

 

[Obliterator]

This is easily the best season of the series thus far. The amount of shit that's gone done, the battles that have happened. It's been fucking LIT.

It's the best season by a wide margin imo

 

[PixelatedBookake]

All of this Arya hate is really bothering. I guess Little Finger has shills on GAF.

He has spies errywhere

 

[The One and Done™]

Night King wit that level 30 spear through wearing Achilles armor

 

[wandering]

Seeing so many people defending the writing makes me understand how The Walking Dead continues to be on air.

 

[Lights and Waves]

A lesson for you whiny man-babies:

Suspension of Disbelief

The term suspension of disbelief or willing suspension of disbelief has been defined as a willingness to suspend one's critical faculties and believe the unbelievable; sacrifice of realism and logic for the sake of enjoyment.[1]

The term was coined in 1817 by the poet and aesthetic philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who suggested that if a writer could infuse a "human interest and a semblance of truth" into a fantastic tale, the reader would suspend judgement concerning the implausibility of the narrative.

Suspension of disbelief often applies to fictional works of the action, comedy, fantasy, and horror genres. Cognitive estrangement in fiction involves using a person's ignorance to promote suspension of disbelief.

 

[Trouble]

Witch cursed her vagina

Accurate.

 

[ryan299]

Anybody else not find the action all that good? Was let down by it.

 

[DangerMouse]

If the Night King can literally throw an ice spear like it's being racked on Scorpion, why didn't they just throw a bunch of those things at the raid group and impale them on the rock, which they are forced to stay on because of the army of the dead surrounding them?

Probably limited ammo and saving it for when he really needs it.

He was in no rush.

 

[Devilinthiscity]

Sansa continues to keep getting played. I really hope all of that is just Arya's way of getting one over on Little finger. Like how many more times can Sansa continue to get manipulated by Little finger? Ugh.

 

[Fitts]

What's with the hate? wtf

Meh... she just never recovered for me after Qarth.

And after last season's finale I'm on team Cersei.

 

[DopeyFish]

This show has jumped the shark so to speak.

Jon and Co. should have been dead. At the very least, Tormund and Jon should be KIA.

They should have had a more visual choke point to make that fight reasonable and survivable, too much open space for them to get easily surrounded and killed.

If the Night King can literally throw an ice spear like it's being racked on Scorpion, why didn't they just throw a bunch of those things at the raid group and impale them on the rock, which they are forced to stay on because of the army of the dead surrounding them?

Benjin literally coming out of thin air is ridiculous, and made me roll my eyes. Not even going to talk about the time warping. They were on that rock like, what, five days at least for the dragons to get there?

All this effort and spectacle and it's so braindead. Uhg.

Remember, the night king shares the abilities of the three eye raven as far as we know.

His intent could have been a dragon from the very beginning.

 

[killamajig]

What if all three end up on the Night King's side though?

[GreyWind]

He was the cutest when they were babies

RIP Viserion

Don't compare this show that garbage.

 

[zeemumu]

What a weird coincidence that everyone """"predicted"""" that the dragon would be killed and resurrected by the Whitewalkers.

You don't make a universe with dragons and undead and NOT have frost wyrms.


Speaking of which, I think Night King's frost wyrm and Dany's 3rd dragon that no one cares about (let's call him Ringo) are gonna end up taking each other out

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Arya needs to chill fo' real.


😎 Looks like Jon and Dany are officially a couple #TeamJonaerys

 

[toastyToast]

It wasn't a time jump though, that's what people are complaining about

Yeah a time jump would have been ok. If they'd shown Dany in transit already or if the team was hunkered down in a cave out of sight of the whole undead army where they could wait it out it woulda been cool.

This was just really poorly conceived.

 

[soundscream]

The Night King waited for this.
Chains? WW squad plant with 1 wight not belonging to that particular WW?
Spears in hand?

He knew what was going to happen. Oh my God..

All this Dragon and Zombie shit, am I the only one having a hard time believing Jons ABS? They were like sculpted from stone, LOL.

 

[FiggyCal]

This was the best episode of the season without a doubt.

 

[Einchy]

The Arya plotline pretty much confirmed that she had lost her goddamn mind in Braavos like it was speculated back in season 6. The campfire scene this season made it seem like maybe there was still something there but nope, she cray af.

 

[Zelenogorsk]

Next episode

Spoiler

looks dumb as all hell

 

[Kayhan]

LMAO

loooool

 

[BriGuy]

Man they teleporting has gotten out of hand. It's making the world seem so small.

Westeros is like the size of West Virginia apparently. Or maybe a SNES RPG, where you can fly around the world in mode 7 in 30 seconds or less.

 

[Ryuuroden]

Yo HBO, YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CONFEDERATE WRITING NOW?

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

Yo, my mind is blown.
The Night King must've been a Greenseer, he must've.

Every attack he's done so far went perfect for him. Hardhome? 3ER's cave? Including this one.
Everything was well planned and executed almost perfectly. Now I'm convinced he waited for Bran to "visit" him and his army before branding him and destroying the cave.
I'm even more convinced after looking at that WW and his squad of Wights marching with 1 of them not even belonging to the group. It was a plant.
Then you have the spears and chains, getting himself a dragon.
HE KNEW.

Plus, I'm not sure of this yet because I'll have to revisit episode 5.
But when Bran warged those ravens and went North of the Wall,I'm almost certain that the area where they were at was the same cliff they led Jon and the squad into.

 

[valinthyne]

I'd like a "We've got the Rainmaker" gif of the boys taking turns dragging the walker up the hill.

 

[Jarmel]

A lesson for you whiny man-babies:

Oh hey that's a great excuse for basic shit like why the Night King threw a spear at a moving target instead of the stationary one. Great argument right there.

 

[Lights and Waves]

Wait this season is only 7 episodes? Who the hell made that decision?

The show's too expensive at this point to do full seasons. Shorter seasons with longer episodes are better IMO.

 

[OrionX]

Holy shit that episode was amazing.

Dany's northern garb was lit though.

Dany won the fashion war. It's officially over.

 

[sam12]

So is Dragonstone only a few minutes away from Eastwatch?
Ravens reaching Dragonstone, Dany coming to the rescue while the group of heroes stranded on an island on a frozen lake without freezeing their asses off

Logic thrown out

 

[Meowster]

This is easily the best season of the series thus far. The amount of shit that's gone done, the battles that have happened. It's been fucking LIT.

It's definitely been the most fun. Watching everything unfold all at once after six seasons of build up.. whew.

 

[SargerusBR]

He was the cutest when they were babies

RIP Viserion

That's Rhaegal no? Viserion was the green one.

 

[DopeyFish]

Seeing so many people defending the writing makes me understand how The Walking Dead continues to be on air.

Game of thrones at it's worst is far better than walking dead at it's best... and there's still a huge gap between them.

 

[King Tubby]

It's a show about dead people, dragons and shit. Things are moving at a fast pace and thank God for it. The show is so much better without all the filler now that we know these are the last two seasons

It's become a show about dead people, dragons and shit. That's not why I started watching or why I enjoy the show. I watch for the scheming and political intrigue and now I'm just along for the ride.

Episode 7 Preview
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5xdTlgaaaw

Nervous about the fact Dany doesn't seem to be at the meeting, makes me think we could get a good few deaths and I wouldn't want Jon to be one of them.

 

[Crossing Eden]

The fact that only Thoros died. I thought they had my boy Thomund but he made it out alive. So many clutch saves..... ;-;

 

[NSESN]

Imo this could be the best episode if they deleted the winterfell scenes.
