Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended

I wouldn't read too much into Tyrion staring at the door. With the previous conversations he had with Dany about her succession, it's easily explainable for him to be there and thinking about a possible future with Jon/Dany kids in it. Nothing has ever pointed towards him knowing anything more about Jon (or Dany for that matter), nor is there time enough for him to have switched alliance during his meeting with Cersei.

I'm more intrigued by the Hound's "you know what's coming for you" to the Mountain.
I thought it was pretty straightforward that the Hound himself was going to come for the Mountain?
 
How is Jon the rightful heir? Robert won the throne by conquest, it's not his fault the Lannisters acted the way they did before he got to King's Landing. He has no trueborn sons or daughters and neither did his brothers, so Cersei is rightfully queen.

Agreed. This whole self-entitled Targaryen-Snow charade is really annoying, and has been for some time. They're permitted mistake after mistake and still seem to benefit, whereas other characters are punished for one misstep.

It's a load of 'meh' at this point.
 
Am I the only one who actively avoids 'behind the scenes' stuff with GoT? I'm scared it'll ruin the illusion too much. I watched a long Q&A with Jack Gleeson (Goffrey) and obviously it turns out he's a really nice chap and since then it's tinkered with my image of Goffrey a little bit, it was better when I thought he was a full cnut.
 
just set him on fire..,. the guy walks so fecking slowly.
:lol:

Yeah could be, maybe I'm just overthinking it of course. I thought it might have something to do with the Hound knowing how Ser Gregor turned into the monster he is right now and how it's going to come back to haunt him in the future, or something along those lines. I'd love to have some kind of explanation what Qyburn did to him, rather than just "he saved him and made him into a super-undead-warrior".
 
So why did the mountain let Jaime walk? I thought Cersei giving the nod meant to take him out?
 
I'm not going to bother to read any of your comments after that episode, cause I'm sure you'll no doubt suck the fun out of it.

I absolutely loved that episode, more or less everything about it. fecking brilliant television, simply loved it.

Do you mind being given some book knowledge? I doubt it'll answer your question fully but it might give you an insight as to what probably happened.

I've read the books (a few years ago), is it fully explained in there? If you don't mind, tag me in the book thread (don't want to go into dangerous territory here) to discuss it further, yeah.
 
Regarding Tyrion: (speculation)

I think he's in love with Dani.
 
My theory/hope that the whole show finishes with Littlefinger on the Iron Throne is in tatters.

All aboard the Night King train.

Choo Choo!

I was convinced Arya and Sansa would team up, but I really didn't want LF to die. I was hoping he'd end up trying to twist Cersei back round his little finger...


Regarding Tyrion: (speculation)

I think he's in love with Dani.

People have had this theory before. I think it's more of a case he's more and more worried by the second she is turning out more like her father. If she keeps threatening Kings Landing and his pregnant sister with being burned alive, I can see his allegiance being questioned some what.

But that doesnt have anything to do with him standing outside when the two of them are humping. Also she isnt her father, there are glimpses now and then cause of the dragon reference but she has clearly put aside the battle of the throne to deal with the enemy in the North and KL isnt going to be burned anytime soon.

TV/movie trope #317 - the silent bodyguard/s will always know exactly what their master wants them to do in any given situation with no words necessary.

Would've been a better scene if he had beheaded him as he walked past.

"What are you doing?!"
"You gave me the nod"
"That was the nod to let him pass ffs"
 
I'd just like to say that the music and the narration from Bran during the R+L=J reveal/wincest was absolutely epic. Beautiful scene, in a kind of incesty way.
 
Cousin incest is fine, right? Marrying your first cousin is legal in the UK at least.

feck, I had better not drop dead tonight and have "Cousin incest" be the last thing I searched for in google.
 
Pretty much. Oh damn.



So fecking good. And this isnt even mentioning the ending for the sheer spectacle of it.

And of course the opening scene. The gathering of pretty much 90% of the remaining important characters left.

Im expecting Dany to get pregnant. Have a kid who then hooks up with Cerseis kid ahah


That would actually be poetic if Cersei's kid was of Baratheon blood.

Baratheon, Lannister, Stark, Targaryen united on the throne after defeating the dead.
 
Tyrion's probably concerned that they've been making fecking stupid decisions, probably because of their feelings for each other (her riding her dragon beyond the wall, him not lying to Cersei about his pledge) and jeopardising the war against the dead. Now that they're shagging they'll likely continue to make stupid decisions, failing to see the bigger picture.

I haven't read the book thread, soz. The books mention Qyburn's backstory pretty much, it'd give you a fair idea as to what he did with Ser Gregor.
 
I was a little worried after the flaws of episode 6 but that was a firm return to form. The only real criticism I have is that there was a little too much throwing us off the scent in the tension between the Stark sisters but that was the fault of previous episodes. Everything on screen led us to believe it was real, which left the revealing of the truth feeling a little cheap, although the scene itself was great.

In contrast, the misdirecting of the audience around Cersei's plotting was well-planned and believable.

Overall, a great episode with some great acting.
 
That's was quite disappointing.

Jon the midnight tv saleseman: You can kill it with fire, you can kill it with dragonglass, order in the next hour and get one free. Dwarf not included.

Cersei: Ok let's do this. Nah it's off. Lol jk, we are totally doing this. Others: yeey we are doing this. Cersei later : lol jk, bruh.

Theon turning into Conor McGreggor in 5 mins + being uber cringy before that. Others: yaray we are doing this.

Bran telling what everybody knew already.

House Incestarian actually looking ridiculous together.

Only good things were that sleeze being dealt
with, and that thermonuclear dragon.
