Im sure ice king has some way around it.

I think Tyrion has to be designated this season’s Least Valuable Player. After bungling Dany’s initial invasion, he then conceived of a grand stratagem to win Cersei’s alliance that ended up costing them one of Dany’s three dragons (and yes, he told her not to go, but the whole stupid mission was his idea in the first place; had his advice been followed, he would instead have cost Dany her main allies in Westeros) and did not even succeed in convincing Cersei to join them. Really, Dany would have been much better off if Tyrion had fallen overboard on the way to Westeros, rather than having him around trying to convince her to try to conquer Westeros without ever spilling blood. Oh, right, and that led to the White Walkers getting through the Wall too.

 

[RaidenZR]

Despite it looking cool while it lasted, the taking down of the wall was pretty disappointing overall.

That's it for The Wall? They didn't even try to attack the dragon? Zero defenses? Not even a couple of archers?

 

[bodyofanamerican]

I actually wonder if that was the same actor?

Right? I thought the same thing.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Explain to me why Rhaegar would name both his sons the same thing.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

If there is one thing we know, Targs don't think things through. This includes Jon.

And he was perving on the incest sex, too. Which was foreboding.

lol

 

[jfkgoblue]

First half the episode was meandering as fuck... second half... fuck yeah


Tormund though

 

[peteykirch]

He punctured Viserion's flame sack and now he can breathe blue fire.

I'm willing to overlook people transporting thousands of miles in an instant, but don't kill a dragon by piercing it's flame maker, but now that's fixed?

 

[iShouldGoPro]

Explain to me why Rhaegar would name both his sons the same thing.

Maybe because the other Aegon doesn't exist in the show and Jon's name will not be Aegon in Wind of Winter, guaranteed

I mean. Egg is pretty fucking cool, tbf.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

D&D

 

[TTG]

Killing Carcetti now would be such a shitty ending for one of the most powerful forces on the show. A season of smirking in the back of Winterfell's dining hall alternating with getting shat on by the surviving Starks, an episode of weak scheming... then death.

/facepalm

And King's Landing took the safest road as well. The show has really lost its bite, that hurts more than the nonsense story lines that were the driving force after loot train. The show works when viewers are off balance, without a volatility there's only spectacle and middling writing left. Oh well.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Explain to me why Rhaegar would name both his sons the same thing.

Rhaegar was following the prophecy, I bet the name Aegon had to do with that prophecy. Rhaegars obsession with the prophecy trumped everything else.

It can fly with holes in it wings

so

you know

magic

 

[Edzi]

One of the showrunners always calls Cersei "Ser-Say" and it drives me mad.

Speaking of D&D, the inside the episode portion this week continues to be hilarious since it exposes just how bad they are at coming up with this story. Hearing them talk about the Sansa/Arya thing was something.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

could've sworn they name dropped him in previous seasons.

 

[jfkgoblue]

So uh now Dany and Jon get a big shock of holy shit I ducked my aunt/nephew and holy fuck Jon is heir to the Iron Throne at the same time.

 

[_Ryo_]

Season was pretty meh imo. Cersi didn't even die. And nothing was really accomplished apart for the dead making ground.

 

[Faddy]

Explain to me why Rhaegar would name both his sons the same thing.

Prophecy. Go read the House of the Undying chapter again.

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

but isn't there magic or some shit that stops them

I think when Bran got touched by the Night's King last year that kind of screwed over whatever magic that protected Bloodraven's cave and once he passed the Wall, it screwed over whatever magical barrier the Wall had built in, undead dragon or not.

Yeah that was truly hilarious. They act like their writing is so fantastic that they could possibly trick the audience into thinking that Arya and Sansa would go after each other. The only reason people considered that a possibility is because it's stupid enough to fit with some of the other terrible plot lines we've seen

 

[Fuzzy]

Explain to me why Rhaegar would name both his sons the same thing.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

The man had her brother’s hair, but he was taller, and his eyes were a dark indigo rather than lilac. “Aegon,” he said to a woman nursing a newborn babe in a great wooden bed. “What better name for a king?” “Will you make a song for him?” the woman asked. “He has a song,” the man replied. “He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire.”

[Mr. RPG]

I honestly can't decide which season is worse, 5 or 7.

 

[Betty]

Seriously satisfying stuff, can't find a single fault.

 

[btrboyev]

Tormund though

The way they edited it, I think he lived. I think? I think they made it to the side f the wall that is still up.

 

[UraMallas]

Rhaegar was following the prophecy, I bet the name Aegon had to do with that prophecy. Rhaegars obsession with the prophecy trumped everything else.

That's a good point, actually. I hadn't thought of that. Might be the case in the books then.

 

[Sane_Man]

I could've sworn they said Jon's name was Eddard not Aegon. Is everyone smoking crack or just me?

 

[Zabka]

Was just going to post the same thing.

Really enjoyed the finale.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

Explain to me why Rhaegar would name both his sons the same thing.

Because D&D do not know Jon's real name since Martin did not write it yet. He told them the story not its details. So D&D have to improvise and Aegon is just a good Targaryan name that is not in the show.

 

[Spartancarver]

I actually wonder if that was the same actor?

My gf and I thought it was the same actor lmao

 

[jfkgoblue]

Just you

My gf and I thought it was the same actor lmao

Someone in this thread said that they should reuse Harry Lloyd for Rhaegar earlier too lol.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Wait, if Lyanna dies in childbirth, wouldn't the woman in said vision be Elia?

You don't know that. You are just making shit up. None of us have any idea what the show runners know or what Martin has told them.

 

[UraMallas]

Tormund though

Tormund (hopefully) got the f out of Dodge. Much like Euron this episode. Those two dudes had the reactions I would have if someone laid this shit on me.

 

[Ganzlinger]

The execution of Littlefinger was so dumb. Like, they didn't have any proof and if he had just denied everything he could have escaped that situation (assuming it was a fair trial), but no, they had to make him confess, desperately asking for forgiveness. I know it had the surprising effect, but LF should be smarter than that, being outsmarted by three kids.

Also, Arya being the headswoman wasn't really well thought as one of Ned's first lesson is that "the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword". They made the Sansa/Arya duo as something good but it was against the Stark's tradition.

And that dragon alone melting the wall looked hack as fuck. Like, his breath of fire is unlimited? wtf

 

[bodyofanamerican]

The vision was at the Tower of Joy. It was Lyanna.

Are you trying to find logic to zombies?

How they move without working organs and blood? magic.

I reserve my anger for Theon fighting using the power of being cockless (apparently he doesn't have balls too, that's news to me). That shit was stupid.

 

[UraMallas]

I could've sworn they said Jon's name was Eddard not Aegon. Is everyone smoking crack or just me?

She said Ned's name first and then said Aegon's name.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

 

[DrEvil]

Game of Thrones Season 8 |OT| Maybe it is all about cock in the end.

 

[Burt]

I hope next season is just 100% characters who haven't seen each other in a while walking to different places together.

Game of Thrones Season 8 |OT| Maybe it is all about cock in the end.

This wins.

 

[Faddy]

so I stand by my question, what were they going to do if they didn't get a dragon from that stupid suicide mission???

Just stand there and be like welp.

Wait. They have been waiting for thousands of years.

Why awaken now? It seems pretty certain that the Night King has some sort of seer ability. It is not coincidence that they have come back as dragons re-entered the world.

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

Give me packs of ice spiders next year and I'll be content. Maybe a kraken too while we're at it.

 

[Victory Red]

I could've sworn they said Jon's name was Eddard not Aegon. Is everyone smoking crack or just me?

I heard Eggard .

No way it was Aegon.

 

[Fuzzy]

.

So Lyanna died just after giving birth way after Rhaegar died at the Trident but somehow he was there also? Time traveling teleporters are awesome!

He admitted to killing Lysa. To deny would call the Lady of Winterfell a liar. It was already over.
