Is HBO Now on PC working for anyone else? I can log in but can't click on anything I want to watch.

That happens sometimes, just keep closing and opening the website and it'll eventually let you click on stuff.

 

[Obliterator]

I just rewatched the episode from last night and I know its been commented on a lot already but the cinematography was out of this world. That thing was shot so beautifully its unreal

 

[Ramirez]

Anyone know the name of the musical track that plays when the cavalry is rushing Jon??

Another one of my favorite shots from the episode.

 

[StudioTan]

Absolutely amazing episode. Beautifully shot, movie quality IMO.

It's about time that the good guys finally win one for a change. I kept expecting to be kicked in the stomach at some point but everything played out so gratifyingly. Ramses death was fitting and well deserved.

If anyone hasn't I'd highly recommend watching the Anatomy Of A Scene for that battle.

Doesn't seem to work. It's been like this since yesterday. Tried it on both my laptop and PC :/

 

[mercenar1e]

didn't Yara give her father shit about not being a greyjoy and abandoning all the things that her family is known for? it only took a few seconds for her to do exactly that lol

Season 6 OST isn't out yet.

Ah, alright.

Shireen was a flower in a shit world but her death seems more and more necessary. Not only did it melt the snows which allowed Mel to get to The Wall in time to save Jon, it also got Stannis to Winterfell, which informed how Ramsay approached this battle--afterall the Vale wouldn't have made a lick of difference against 6000 men repelling a siege behind the walls. Plus you could also argue that her death was what paid for Jon's life, which fits one of the oldest mantras on the show.

 

[Drencrom]

What an incredible episode, that whole last battle was a movie-tier production!

Loved how Jon went full Kratos on Ramsay. He didn't want to stop pressing circle.

I thought of that too lmao

We don't even know if it was the sacrifice that caused the warm up.

What are Cersei's major blunders besides giving the High Sparrow/Faith Militant authority? And while that plan ultimately back fired, due to her dropping her guard more than anything else, it did precisely what it was supposed to, which was oust the Tyrells and put her back in a position of influence. It doesn't negate multiple seasons of her making some of the most impactful moves we've seen on the show. She's absolutely one of the best players of the game.

lol what? Cersei ripped a piece of paper. She's a dumbass. Her actions allowed Ned to get killed, which started a huge war against the Starks. The only reason she's not dead is because she's had more capable people saving her dumbass.

We don't even know if it was the sacrifice that caused the warm up.

Considering it happened the next morning, we do know.

YOU DOUBT THE LORD OF LIGHT!?

I need confirmation this most badass lady is alive with all her 62 men. I was literally screaming when they showed that shot of her due to pure badassory.

Also gaf imma need a HQ screen cap of Jon going all leeeeroy jenkins with his longclaw in front of that horde of bolton horsemen. I need that as a iPad wallpaper TY in advance.

 

[Ferrio]

Starting to think both Cersei and Tommen are dying next week. I don't see how Cersei's story really can go much farther, but I could see Jamie's going a lot farther if he's no longer tied down to Cersei.

See this post and you will find what you seek:

I've seen some people asking for hi-res photos from last night's episode, so I've made a Dropbox album of all the official publicity photos sent out by HBO. It includes some great shots.

With Cersei out of the picture, maybe Tormund and Jamie will have a battle for Brienne?

She also got her dad killed by pushing for Tyrion's trial. Got Jeoffrey killed because she thought she could use him as a puppet to rule by proxy and couldn't actually influence him at all...

Her other option was get killed by Euron though.

 

[danthefan]

The battle really is one of the best things I've seen on TV. There was so much tension, I thought the direction was superb, bit clichéd with the cavalry arriving at the last moment when all looks lost but I can live with that. Great episode.

 

[mcfrank]

So, was this shot in the same way as that Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy tarmac scene, or was the green screen you reckon? It kinda looks like the former.

Long lens, not greenscreen.

 

[Freshmaker]

Kinda a strange conversation since she was pushing for establishing trade and pushing the reaving etc to the side anyway.

 

[VAD]

Holy shit I just saw this after Warcraft and the episode blows away anything the movie ever attempted to do in term of battle choreography and editing and shooting.
Too bad for Wun Wun though

 

[Elandyll]

Do you mean Cercei is one of the best plotters on the show for the audience? Because that I can kind of see as she's entertaining. If you think she's actually a good plotter and has good foresight then I'm going to have to disagree. She only sees what's directly in front of her and that's come back to haunt her.

I wouldn't say she is one of the best plotters, as she has a tendancy to let her need to strike back and her pettiness overshadow her reasoning, while she can be an effective one in the short term.
She has certainly manipulated and orchestrated her fair share of BS that until recently she was (mostly) getting away with.
But for a while now, it also seems that Karma really is a bitch with her, justly so.

 

[Shortt Sirket]

Edit: Eh, became less funny the more I saw it....

 

[GreyWind]

A cool little touch that Reddit noticed:

The shield Jon uses is a Mormont shield.

Yep

 

[Guevara]

Anyone else holding their breath, waiting for the Starks to get too cocky around Ramsey?

I totally expected Ramsey to shank Jon while up close. Or for Sansa to show a moment of kindness and get headbutted for it. Something like that.

Thank god they just killed him and moved on.

I demand that Tormund and The Hound meet up and become bffs. TYVM D&D.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Archers the real MVPs of this battle.

I thought it was so intense seeing the bodies pile, people just climb over eachother. So many soldiers probably died by suffocation. So crazy... Yeah, i still can't get over that amazing battle.

 

[Conrad Link]

I liked that there was no week off no episode wait this season. Hate waiting!

Hate episode 10s as well cause it means maximum wait time between seasons.

 

[StormKing]

Cersei has plot armor until her children are dead. She probably thinks she can get away with anything as long they're alive.

She's been getting away with it because her brother and in particular her father can protect her whenever she does something moronic. There's a reason both of them told her she's not as smart as she thinks she is, because she isn't good enough to play with the big boys.

This episode is a good example of even a predictable outcome can be enjoyable to watch if executed properly.

Most people only watch the show, so a lot of stuff like this goes over their heads, unlike the hardcore fans who try and piece everything together.

LOL Thirion.

Speaking of which, he was stumped for words at the start of the episode and it felt like it was too out of character.

It's reasons like these why I dont watch the "previously on" and skip right to the beginning of the show. I guess they have to do it for the mass audience but man it's so heavy handed having to add these bits in for people who aren't paying attention entirely.

Episode blew my mind btw. I'm curious how much of this episode came from GRRM.

Going to rewatch tonight it was that good.

Dany was badass as hell this ep. Really glad to finally see the dragons wreck the shit out of an army. I'm glad they brought Tyrion and Varys to Mereen and made the plotline interesting

 

[Ithil]

I too as waiting for the dragons to dive in a wide arc across the boats, destroying most of them in a single breath.

Was kind of surprised when that didn't happen. Its sort of a classic dragons-destroying-armies thing to do.

But they didn't want to destroy the fleet, they only wanted to demonstrate on a single ship. Once the Masters surrendered they could take that fleet as their own to replace the one they lost.

 

[Einchy]

Dany: Those are some mighty fine boats you just gave me.

 

[Easy_D]

Holy shit the shot with Davos and the sunrise in the background was gorgeous, god damn. I need a super hi-res version of that as a background.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Dany was badass as hell this ep. Really glad to finally see the dragons wreck the shit out of an army. I'm glad they brought Tyrion and Varys to Mereen and made the plotline interesting

But they only destroyed like two ships (although I guess that was part of the plan) and it took them forever the take down those two ships. We still haven't seen the dragons really tear shit up.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Just finished watching the episode. Overall i thought Hardhome was a more exciting battle but holy shit this fight was brutal. When the shield/spear guys came in I felt claustrophobic, the shots with all the bodies piled up is so goddamn nasty, makes me want to take a shower after watching that lol So what kind of moves you guys think LF will make? Dude is clearly a S++ player in the game.

 

[Easy_D]

Wreck the shit was poor word choice on my part, but the dragons were key in getting them to surrender as fast as they did.

 

[Lonestar]

Well, that ship was done for really quick, as the crew were toast. They just decided to split the ship in half to complete the point.

 

[boxter432]

going into the episode, I feared for:

Lady Mormont
Wun Wun
Ghost
Tormund
Davos
Meli

only lost 1. but a big one
