So I guess Jon will meet Daenerys when he goes hunting for the dragonglass
Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended
- Thread starter ha_rooney
- Start date
With only 14, now 13, episodes left. It's gonna be almost a constant sprint to the end. No more setting stuff up for the future. Shit is gonna get straight to the point. I can see both the good and the bad in that. Although I have much more faith in the two showrunners in pulling off big, spectacular action sequences rather than making smart, witty dialogue without Martin.
I think the point of it was emphasising that not all the Lannister men are terrible people, and as much as there will be a group of soldiers that see a young girl and take advantage of her, there will be others who offer her some food and a place by the fire. For me it was a refreshing change of pace after the brutality that comes of a lot of chance meetings on the show.
Second.. third.. fourth... every time I watch them I spot something I never did before.
After the first 5 to 10 mins was dull. Disappointed that tyrion and varys hadn't a single word to say.
I believe it can control dragons...it's a horn... apparently Euron has it or thinks he can get it.
It will be cool when daenerys sends the dragon spitting fire on him and there he stands unharmed. He is off dragon blood. And she gives him droco and they rampage happily ever after.
Pretty sure Targaryan's are not all fireproof. One of the previous Targaryan kings drank wildfire and burned like anyone else. I don't think the show has given us reason to believe anyone other than Dany is fireproof.
Tonight. I'm prepared for disappointment and toys-out-of-the pram rage.
Not only that, but he burnt himself in s2 I think it was trying to stop an undead when he threw a fire lamp.
Arya OP as fekkk!
GRRM has stated that they're not fireproof but Dany uses some kind of bloodmagic that protects her from getting burnt.
Goosebumps, literally every time I've rewatched it.
Why am I even in this thread...MUST.RESIST.READING.SPOILERS
12 episodes*
I enjoyed it, good first episode. Arya killing all the Freys was the best part for me. Some solid revenge dished out with some nice lines after.
The Hound was entertaining but I found it a little strange how easily he was converted and just saw everything in the flames.

Loved the Tormund and Brienne bit too. His expressions always make me 
They don't have enough time left episode wise for him to piss about. I don't think we've ever seen someone other than the Red Priestess discuss what they saw in the flames though. I can't remember if Stannis ever mentions seeing something in the flames, but it seems to be something that's shown to few people. Hound will be an important player in the end events imo.
Good start to the season.. After all that wait, the episode seemed to finish in a blink of an eye..
Only gripe I would say is, they are making Arya too powerful.. Surely they must have caught her while trying to dispose Walder Frey's body even if she did the mission impossible-esque face change.. ..
Hound scenes were great.. Same with Jon and Sansa..

He's petrified of fire so he's never really looked in the flames before, I was more confused as to how easily he looked in the fire in the first place
Why should she have been caught? Murderers hide bodies all the time without getting caught in the process.
He wants to believe in something even if outwardly he fights against it. He has seen the guy brought back to life and wants an explanation.
I think the whole point of her training was to make her this powerful. It was horrible TV and a rushed sequence, but if her training has paid off then she's now one of the most effective assassins in all the seven kingdoms.
I must have missed the episode where she perfected the art of voice impressions though. I didn't realize taking the face meant also taking the accent.
Well I suppose it was Walder's throne room.. Considering he is always there.. Carrying his body out without anyone seeing wouldn't be so easy..
Edit: Ya like @Arbitrium says.. Gave her too much power quickly I guess.. But with time running out to finish the series,I guess they didn't have time to show the whole buildup..
Yeah stannis saw a big fight in the snow in s3. I think Hound seeing stuff in the fire wasnt a problem. But as mentioned, he didnt need much persuasion to look into the fire itself lol.
Anyone chuck me a pm if there is a decent non-live river of this going
If you can somehow access TMN go (Canadian) I'll give you some details to watch it
I miss Hodor.
I realised this just yesterday, but the group of characters that fled Winterfell from Theon consisted of:
- Bran Stark
- Rickon Stark
- Meera Reed
- Jojen Reed
- Hodor
- Osha
- Summer
- Shaggy
Only two left.
There is definitely precedent. Melisandre shows Stannis a vision in the flames in 2x10 and he is very convinced by it. His wife is also shown a vision in the flames by Mel in season 4.
God that scene with Ed Sheeran was cringe
The group of soldiers arya meets, one of the guys says he should be out on a boat with his dad. Ser Davos son maybe?
"You think you're fooling anyone with that topknot? Bald cnut."
Probably hit a little too close to home for some guys.

Definitely not, we met Davos' son back in season 2 and he was killed in Blackwater. That scene was just about humanising Arya's enemies, reminding her that not all Lannisters are terrible people.
Don't have any problems with that. She's essentially been on the run or getting trained and put on the shelf for the past 4-5 seasons. Now it's time for some payback. And although powerful like the faceless dude, she's not power hungry like almost every other main character which makes it work. She's a badass assassin, judge, and executioner all rolled into one. Could lead to some lazy writing though, which if was your point, I agree with.
I thought both seasons 7 & 8 have 7 episodes?
Must admit I completely forgot Ed Sheeran was in this and it completely took out of the show when I saw him there.
The day after, cause Arya said in the first scene "two feasts in two days".
He said "Two feasts in a fortnight."
