To be honest killing a dragon may have been foreshadowed, but it still takes balls, that is the biggest death since the Red Wedding.

Oh great this fucking bullshit again.

 

[Neifirst]

This winterfell storyline is the WORSE than all of Dorne. They've ruined Arya.

 

[DrForester]

I still have no problem with Arya contemplating killing Sansa. I don't think this is a shocking turn of events.

 

[Shin K Dash]

Wait, there's really a way to tell them apart? Lol. I honestly had no idea.

Rhaegal is green and i think Viserion is yellow and white.

(fitting that the one named after her brother is the one who died LOL)

 

[Zabka]

Gotta love how he gets the spear from his second in command. Dramatically walks up and has a sweeping view of the battlefield. Sees a huge stationary dragon target right there on the ground with all the enemies preparing to use it to escape. And then aims his spear a the distant moving target in the sky BEHIND that target and throws.

The White Walkers like fucking with people. Not even joking.

 

[GonzoCR]

This rescue is some fan fiction bullshit.

The show has been some fan fiction bullshit for quite some time tbh. But it's all we have since Half-Life 3 is coming out before TWOW, and Half-Life 3 is never coming out.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

Let's count the stupid in this episode.

1: Fake kill Thoros, only to kill him of screen 20min later.
2: Gendry runs back to Castle Black, they send a raven to Dany, and she flys across the continent, before the undead can cross a lake.
3: Ghostrider Benjen.

NK could've speared the fellowship of the wight way before dany could've arrived

This is so odd

 

[jfkgoblue]

The White Walkers like fucking with people. Not even joking.

In the books, no evidence of that in the show until now.

 

[Shin K Dash]

Hmmm... I need to reflect on this more but I think this is my least favorite GoT episode ever...

 

[clemenx]

This is all some dumb ass shit. I'm not one who yearns the books while watching but while fun, most of this is straight trash.

 

[broncobuster]

You fucking serious, Benjen the most wasted character

Actually kinda pissed off about this. My man shows up out of nowhere to save Jon and sacrifices him because ?????

At least die fighting off white walkers instead of wights. I wanted to see him try taking it to the Night King and get utterly trounced.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

fuck off arya and this winterfell subplot

 

[duckroll]

In the books, no evidence of that in the show until now.

What did they do in the books? I don't even remember them having as much presence in the actual story compared to the show.

 

[Sean C]

Dany: "What about those who swore allegiance to you?"
Jon: "They'll all come to see you for what you are."
Sansa (offscreen): "Oh, for fuck's sake."

 

[Chase17]

WOOOW

Spoiler

Zombie dragon hype

 

[jett]

Sansa's Westeros experience

Psychologically and physically tortured by Joffrey
Psychologically and physically tortured by Ramsay
Psychologically tortured by her own fucking sister. lol.

They've really ruined show Arya for me. They've pretty much murdered this character.


There was some cool stuff this episode.
There was a lot of dumb stuff too, but I can look over it.
And then there was Arya. What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

[golem]

Bleh all this was dumb. They could have hit the same plot points without all this cheap drama and rescues, just shitty writing.

 

[Zabka]

In the books, no evidence of that in the show until now.

They let the guy go in the first episode. They let Sam live in the attack on the Fist.

 

[greatgeek]

Let's count the stupid in this episode.

1: Fake kill Thoros, only to kill him of screen 20min later.
2: Gendry runs back to Castle Black, they send a raven to Dany, and she flys across the continent, before the undead can cross a lake.
3: Ghostrider Benjen.

It seems like the standoff lasts for a few days.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

In the books, no evidence of that in the show until now.

nah, the NIght King has always liked fucking with people.

All the way back in Hardhome when he lifted his arms, mocking Jon Snow like 'SUP BITCHES? REMEMBER THESE GUYS?'.

 

[jfkgoblue]

They gonna fuck

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Bubba Ray Night King: D-Von, get the javelins!

 

[Dash_Riprock]

This rescue is some fan fiction bullshit.

You must be new

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

What did they do in the books?

Steamrolling anything that's alive

 

[zeemumu]

That's sweet. Almost makes you forget the incest. Almost

 

[elrechazado]

What did they do in the books? I don't even remember them having as much presence in the actual story compared to the show.

Opening scene in book one. They toy with the Royce ranger and laugh while killing him.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Jon: Now lets make some more Dragons...

*camera moves to lit candles*

 

[Easystride]

Man, I loved this episode but Game of Thrones is becoming more and more a shonen manga. I half expected to see Luffy to show up with a new gear.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Guess it's too late for nephew and aunt fucking this episode

 

[jfkgoblue]

Oh fuck ice dragon

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Man, I loved this episode but Game of Thrones is becoming more and more a shonen manga.

there is absolutely zero wrong with this

 

[dabig2]

Let's count the stupid in this episode.

1: Fake kill Thoros, only to kill him of screen 20min later.
2: Gendry runs back to Castle Black, they send a raven to Dany, and she flys across the continent, before the undead can cross a lake.
3: Ghostrider Benjen.

So much dumb shit happened that I almost want to start the old IMDB meme of "100 things I learned from Game of Thrones season 7 episode 6."

The worst though is this Winterfell plot. So clear that the writers are stalling because they're waiting for some finale bombshell, but they need to give their billed actors something to do. Reminds me of the Faith plot throughout S6 in KL.

 

[DrForester]

Screw this Zombie Dragon bullshit....

Let's count the stupid in this episode.

1: Fake kill Thoros, only to kill him of screen 20min later.
2: Gendry runs back to Castle Black, they send a raven to Dany, and she flys across the continent, before the undead can cross a lake.
3: Ghostrider Benjen.

We never saw them camp for a night. It's completely possible they were not a day out of Castle Black (or was it Eastwatch) before finding the Undead Army.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Uhhhh possible UNDEAD DRAGON? HOLY FUCK

 

[UraMallas]

That. Was not good. I think this is the first time in some time where I came away not liking an episode.

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

This winterfell storyline is the WORSE than all of Dorne. They've ruined Arya.

It's certainly up there. I'm totally ok with Arya dying any time now. Girl is acting like she is some badass Faceless man when she didn't even properly finish her training, to no consequence at all.

 

[Shin K Dash]

there is absolutely zero wrong with this

.... naw too easy...

That. Was not good. I think this is the first time in some time where I came away not liking an episode.

I'm leaning this way too...

 

[duckroll]

Opening scene in book one. They toy with the Royce ranger and laugh while killing him.

That's not much fucking around. Comparable to the Night King's COME AT ME BRO posing at the end of Hardhome I guess? There's no indication that they really deliberately let people win when they could wipe them instead. There's little reason to think he ignored Dany and Drogon on purpose, more like he was stuck in an animation lock because he already targeted the other dragon from a distance earlier and couldn't cancel the attack. (lol)

 

[hydruxo]

So...who was saying they killed the dragon for the CGI budget? Lmao RIP

 

[DrForester]

So, Zombie Dragon taking down the wall next week?

 

[gun_haver]

Hmmm... I need to reflect on this more but I think this is my least favorite GoT episode ever...

Yeah. They've pretty much fucked it.

Stupid, fanservice crap and it all seems to be heading to a simplistic good vs evil battle against zombies. I thought they might be pulling a nice turn out there by making Dany become draconian, but nope, she's a saviour and she has always been a saviour and that's all there is to it.

It's gone mainstream spectacle at the expense of everthing else. Seeing Tyrion chase after Dany shouting 'we're lost without you!!!'. Come the hell on.

The show is plummeting towards the end here. Didn't really expect it to be this bad.

 

[Chase17]

That's a net loss of two dragons for this dumb plan.

 

[BetterThanNothing]

What did they do in the books? I don't even remember them having as much presence in the actual story compared to the show.

Maybe he's referring to the first time you see them where they surround the Night's Watch ranger and are all laughing at him while he tries to fight one of them? Other than that I have no idea.

 

[broncobuster]

Right now fully expecting Jon on the dragon named after his father fighting Night King on the lame dragon that can't dodge. With Jon jumping off his dragon to cut off NK's head.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

So, Zombie Dragon taking down the wall next week?

Without a goddamn doubt

 

[WrenchNinja]

So, Zombie Dragon taking down the wall next week?

Magic must defeat magic

And if you don't got some magical horn, dragon fire could work too I guess

 

[blackjaw]

It's predictable but still really fun

 

[jfkgoblue]

Without a goddamn doubt

Yep

 

[elrechazado]

(lol)

Animation lock - Nights king is a Capcom character?

 

[duckroll]

Which was a more disappointing sequel? Thor 2 The Dark World or Hardhome 2 The Dragon World?
