[Vhagar]

Yep. It lived up to the hype

 

[Madness]

Yeah but if you don't know its coming, its harder to notice. We are aware its coming.

Still though, if its permanent, I'm done. Jon does the most epic shit in this thing

Not really. Almost everyone in my show watcher only whatsapp group all wrote, damn, this kid is gonna betray Jon, Jon won't see it coming etc. The showrunners made it too obvious.

 

[Obliterator]

The show just did the "FINAL BOSS STARES INTO THE EYES OF THE CHOSEN HERO" scene at the end of episode. Jon isn't going to stay dead.

I hope so. God I hope so.

Give me Jon killing this shit in epic White Walker battles over watching boring shit in Dorne etc. any day

 

[Jeels]

Jon Snow..you couldn't have come one day earlier?

 

[Saya]

Hardhome scenes were amazing.

Tyrion and Dany scenes were terrible. Clarke is just so bad. One of the best actors on the show finally met with one of the worst and it's so uneven. I cannot take her seriously.

 

[silver.tongue]

No, Valyrian steel is dragon steel.

See below.

It's not obsidian though. So they merely confirmed that it has the same properties, maybe even better.

Yes. This makes more sense. Thank you.

 

[Burt]

That quiet raising of the dead was such a good call. No showy effects, no chanting, no long drawn out BS, he just does it like it's nothing.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

Maybe Jon is gonna get stabbed in Episode 9. I doubt they'd end the season on that.

 

[Flacracker]

Guys, the show isn't good again because of one fight scene.

 

[purg3]

That was fucking intense, loved it.

 

[elrechazado]

Next major book spoiler just dropped. Valyrian steel kills white walkers.

Already stated in the books.

 

[demosthenes]

Perfectly sets up Jon getting shanked. The NW has NO IDEA what they're up against and won't believe anything they're told.

Other members of the nights watch saw it as well.

 

[Ponn]

The show just did the "FINAL BOSS STARES INTO THE EYES OF THE CHOSEN HERO" scene at the end of episode. Jon isn't going to stay dead.

eh...this is GRRM. He likes to fuck with people regardless of the consequences to the story. I wouldn't be surprised if GRRM did it but the showrunners say fuck it and keep him alive and diverge greatly. Would people here still complain about that though?

 

[Hamlet]

Great episode. Really liked all of the Tyrion and Danny interaction and wow oh wow at the last 20 minutes. Talk about intense.
Wun Wun was also great.

 

[Zoso Achilles]

They nailed it. That was amazing.

 

[Atraveller]

lol at @AngryGoTFan trying to stay in character.

See below.



Yes. This makes more sense. Thank you.

Book said dragon glass and dragon steel, and this is steel.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

Guys, the show isn't good again because of one fight scene.

Yup. Exactly.

That was by far the best fight scene/battle they've done in the entire fucking series though.

I thought seeing the Wildling woman as a wight was particularly effective.

 

[mre]

Who was the wildling woman who got eaten by the undead kids?

 

[purg3]

I'm actually looking forward to Danny scenes now, as long as Dinklage is in them. That was some damn good back and forth.

 

[duckroll]

eh...this is GRRM. He likes to fuck with people regardless of the consequences to the story. I wouldn't be surprised if GRRM did it but the showrunners say fuck it and keep him alive and diverge greatly. Would people here still complain about that though?

No, this isn't GRRM, this is D&D!

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Dany and Tyrion were pretty good. Dany can be interesting I guess if she has good support. I kept waiting for this to happen throughout ADWD, I guess the show is good for something.

Hardhome was great. Easily the best fight scene they've done on the show.

Olly continues to suck, and it's going to be really shitty when he guts Jon.

I missed one of the Sand Snakes.

edit: and oh yeah. Wun Wun is fucking awesome. Almost makes up for no Belwas.

 

[SargerusBR]

Guys, the show isn't good again because of one fight scene.

Nope, it is good because of that fight scene and Tyrion

 

[hipsterpants]

That was seriously great. Unsullied gonna be legit shook when he survives that only to get shanked 2 episodes later.

Lol'd at "he (Jon) always comes back." That foreshadowing

 

[Supermanisdead]

Already stated in the books.

hypothesized but never confirmed

 

[Massa]

Incredible fucking episode, wow.

 

[Askherserenity]

Man, wish I was as hyped as you guys.

Guys are excited about one whatever fight scene. If that saves the whole series for you, then that's cool I guess.

 

[Magnus]

The DREAD in that final scene was fantastic. The silence. Perfect.

And fuck if I wasn't totally chilled by the wights all flying off the cliff-edge only to crash land and then wake up and keep marching. So good.

 

[Last Hearth]

I think they did a good job establishing the reality of the WW threat, and the importance of Dany's dragon, there is no way to win this war without dragons.

 

[Obliterator]

eh...this is GRRM. He likes to fuck with people regardless of the consequences to the story. I wouldn't be surprised if GRRM did it but the showrunners say fuck it and keep him alive and diverge greatly. Would people here still complain about that though?

Honestly if GRRM want to keep Jon dead then fuck his original vision. Hope the show runner change it drastically, and just do their own thing.

It would kill the series for me if he dies already. If he dies at the end then fine, but all this cock teasing about him battling the Others / White Walkers through this whole thing and it finally starts going down and he dies instantly

Would be next level awful

 

[aFIGurANT]

Guys, the show isn't good again because of one fight scene.

"We've got a badass over here." Really dude?

On a separate tangent I will say that if Jon were to die for good, I would be very much done myself. That was the big thing I kept thinking when it looked like he was toast against the walker. It would crush me way too much. Let him be mutinee'd and rez'd within like 5 episodes or else so many man tears.

 

[Demon Ice]

Ok that was the episode I was waiting for all season. Bout damn time.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

If GRRM kills off Jon for good then fuck'im. You can only kill off major characters so many times before it becomes rote and uninteresting.

Do it D&D, keep Jon alive!

 

[elrechazado]

hypothesized but never confirmed

Umm, is there anyone who read the books that didn't know what dragonsteel is?

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Those wight kids were creepier than anything in the seemingly six thousand hours of Walking Dead.

 

[BlackBanditSho]

Haven't read all the books (Never finished book 5), but now the show has me wondering what else can stand against the WW. Valyrean steel was a surprise (but I suspected it). I'm starting to wonder...

...can the Stone men be another defense that nobody considered? Perhaps they're immune. Sorta makes Sir Jorrah a lot more important in the future, eh? Just speculating...

 

[Pkaz01]

How are Dany and Jon at the end of their DWD arcs and Tyrion even past that but Arya is just now turning in the Cat of Canals?

 

[FreddieQuell]

See below.



Yes. This makes more sense. Thank you.

Sam found a book in ADWD that mentions dragonsteel killing white walkers. Both he and Jon assume it to mean valyrian steel.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Crazy thought. With no Stoneheart and with the knowledge that Jon is almost certainly not going to really die die, and with the shows tendency to skip confusing stuff, maybe they just won't have Jon get stabbed at all.

I don't think this will happen. Just a crazy thought.

 

[Atraveller]

"We've got a badass over here." Really dude?

He/She's right, I love this episode, but it really doesn't retroactively make earlier episodes good.

 

[Red Comet]

Those wight kids were creepier than anything in the seemingly six thousand hours of Walking Dead.

Agreed.

 

[Digital Snake]

The DREAD in that final scene was fantastic. The silence. Perfect.

And fuck if I wasn't totally chilled by the wights all flying off the cliff-edge only to crash land and then wake up and keep marching. So good.

That was so good, I thought they were gonna end it right there, on a cliff hanger, the pun came to me after I typed it, haha.

 

[Obliterator]

Crazy thought. With no Stoneheart and with the knowledge that Jon is almost certainly not going to really die die, and with the shows tendency to skip confusing stuff, maybe they just won't have Jon get stabbed at all.

Too much foreshadowing. He's for sure getting stabbed, the question is if he's really "dead" or not

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

I don't think this will happen. Just a crazy thought.

They're seeing up Olli to do it so hard dude. They while conversion with Sam was about that happening

 

[Madness]

Nah, all those cutaways to Olly, Jon apologizing to him and this latest scene with Sam, where Sam basically cemented in his mind, sometimes you have to do things that other people may not like. You just know he's going to knife Jon in private. It's what they've set up as the big episode 9 or 10 piss off for show watchers lol. Meltdowns will be big.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Who was the wildling woman who got eaten by the undead kids?

I'm thinking she and the other guy who wanted to put Jon's eyes out were supposed to be Darma (sp?) and The Weeper from the novels.

The Hardhome scene was amazing in its bleakness. That scream before the wights just jumped off the cliff was such a "oh shit" moment.

One of the better scenes that was invented just for the show.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Easily one of the top ten greatest GoT episodes. Maybe even top five.

 

[X-Frame]

Guys, who was the hooded dude who was already sitting in the boat with Jon and Co.?

Seems like someone important?

 

[Magnus]

Did GRRM write an episode this season?

And which eps did he write each season prior? I forget.

 

[ChaosZeroX]

The show just did the "FINAL BOSS STARES INTO THE EYES OF THE CHOSEN HERO" scene at the end of episode. Jon isn't going to stay dead.

Couldn't agree with this post even more. This sort of scene happens in alot of games.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Actually they may have cut Stoneheart so they can play their fakeout death card once with Jon.
