As if im gonna click on any of them, although as spoiler text isn't hidden when you quote it, this opening gambit almost made me spit out my coffee..Either way it didn't help them much. I was wondering why the Knights of the Vale weren't charging in as well but it looks like they're all over on the left with Brienne & co.
Just as surely as they wouldn't send light cavalry to lead a frontal assault which is completely not what light cavalry is suited for.
Get outta here,snailRobin...
I was expecting more crushing heartache about the Red Wedding from that post. I'm disappointed.
That's totally fair enough. You can foe me if you want, or whatever it is that means none of my posts show up in your feed. I made my bed eighteen months ago and being allowed back in doesn't mean everyone should just suddenly forget what happened. Back then I watched TV differently and the role that Internet discussions played in my life was much larger. Frankly, I had an obsession with being right and I got pretty angry with myself when I wasn't - that affected my behaviour in this thread when season 7 was aired. But, you know, time goes on, things change, and so do people I suppose.
Well, it certainly has a different effect when you don't expect anything gruesome to happen... it's a wedding after all.
I thought everyone picked up on them being normal arakhs and if Melisandre hadn't turned up out of nowhere then their plan was somehow even stupider. It made no sense other than they wanted that cool flaming swords in the dark shot. When things don't make sense in this show just ask yourself if on paper it sounds like it would look cool. That's usually the answer.
i'm not one for overreactions but i do think you should be taken outside and shot for what you did.
You see, this would only have been three-quarter shite, and thus immensely better than what they went with. Three-quarter shite, because you'd still up the NK army by tens of thousands of very fresh corpses which is still pretty dumb.
I dropped some widely reported leaks into the thread during season 7 and passed them off as my own "theories". It was kinda pathetic really but, as I said, I had an obsession with this show that bordered on unhealthy at the time. I wanted to be seen as an expert on here as opposed to simply being a super-fan, but it backfired. The post everybody constantly flags (the "timeline" post) really was just a theory of mine, which is why most of it was completely wrong, but there were a couple of pretty damning ones from later in the season. When 'The Spoils of War' leaked early (https://tvline.com/2017/08/04/game-of-thrones-season-7-episode-4-leaked-the-spoils-of-war/) I went looking for it, and while I was on those sites I found a load of leaks for the last three episodes. I didn't just come on here and predict that Viserion would die or that Cersei would betray Jon and Daenerys by not sending her forces north, but I did "suggest" that Sam might find some information about Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark in all those diaries Jim Broadbent told him to transcribe.Christ what did you do?
their swords are stupid anyway, like the way they curve in a circle, come on. how would you defeat a zombie with that? it would just get stuck in it and you'd be there in a hug with the zombie trying to get your sword out. honestly i feel like i'm the only sensible person left in the world, all you mad lunatics in here going on about Mary-Sue for the last 30 pages, i mean wtf does Spiderman's girlfriend have to do with Game of thrones?
Not even heavy cavalry, it was light cavalry. It's up there with only bothering to dig one fire pit, sticking the trebuchets out in front, not bothering to get inside the castle, not manning the walls and Melisandre having to go out to light the fire pits when Jon had literally just landed back at Winterfell with a dragon. None of it made sense.
Also they don't have to use Dothraki actors again, don't have to write them into the plot after this, no more expensive horse cavalry and they got the cool torches shot. Which to be fair was cool. Then again almost every other army that's been routed in this show has magically rebuilt itself in the next few episodes so they migth be back.
The prize for least dignified probably still goes to Tywin.
Tell that to the Mongols.
The Mongols used shock cavalry to break lines after an initial aerial barrage. That's exactly what happen with the Dothraki storming the army of the dead behind the shots from the Stark trebuchets.
Into negative numbers?
That only happens with babies. The Night King has never touched any other living human before (unless you count Bran, but that was in a vision).
Bran didn't turn into a Walker when NK touched him.
They fired like 4 shots in to the back of the Wight lines, what a barrage.
