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

In the end I just grew tired of talking about the show,

Robin is a true villain. Like Bran.
pretending everything was for the good of the people. But clearly his

'oh i can post in here again' is the equivalent of 'Why do you think i came all this way'
 
You are delusional. Truly, you don't seem to understand what you did and continue to do.

But the show is over, all the best.
I guess you missed all my posts in here in May, then. I'm not sure what you think I "continue to do" either.
 
The funniest thing is I dared show my missus this thread and she actually did arrange plans to go to her mum's for the week if I was right. I kid you not, in real life it was discussed.

I'm still not sure how to take it. I think I'm an actual idiot.

:lol: I'm not touching that one

.don't worry, my gf thought the horse was sent by him or he had something to do with it...

Wouldn't that actually make more sense though???

I can't be the only one that loved Jaqen the horse and figured the end of Arya's arc would involve the god that made her!

I'm most likely forgetting something as I wasn't particularly obsessive with details in this show but it felt like the whole faceless thing was massively under utilised in the end.

Having Jaqen feature in some way or Arya wearing another face to kill Cersei (and have someone else kill the NK) would have been more impactful imo.

Jon fighting the Nice King (who’s an actual sword master in real life) with his valyrian sword and Arya killing Cersei with a face and thus playing into the prophecy would’ve made too much sense. As would bringing back Kinvara to converse more with Varys in his last days about the voice in the flames and fill the vacant hot red priestess role.

But, you know, subverting expectations and all that...

Love it.

Aye, subverting expectations is great and all, if it's done well. Just doing it isn't enough.

It's like how crass jokes can be funny when done well, but sometimes it's just being a cnut.

I nevah av.

Poor fecker. Imagine getting that script for season 8 and the cool character you had for 7 seasons is reduced to a meme.
 
Looking at all the fuss made about Valerian steel, and the different limited swords, its still nuts they werent used in fights vs walkers, given the whole line up of WW they made a point of showing.

Jorah dying cos of them (but killing two) could have been cool.
Brienne defo should have taken one on too.
 


This video and the one he did before :lol:

I mean are D&D really writers? It's hard to believe they got paid to write this :confused::confused:
 
Quotes from Sapochnik on the difficulty of working with Weiss and Benioff. His plan for the long night sounded so much better...

His talents eventually won them over, however, leading him to become a go-to director for the pair. That said, “The Long Night” was nevertheless a rough shoot, and the director details its arduous creation on the podcast, saying that there was a lingering fear that it would end up being “a remix of every battle we’d ever done.”

He also says he argued with Benioff and Weiss over the battle’s dearth of impactful deaths. “I wanted to kill everyone,” he says in news that really makes us wish he were running the show. “I wanted to kill Jorah in the horse charge at the beginning. I wanted it to be ruthless, so in the first 10 minutes you could say all bets are off, anyone could die. But David and Dan didn’t want to. There was a lot of back and forth on that.” Sapochnick says he eventually relented because “there comes a point when they dig in and you just don’t want to be there.”

What could've been. Instead we had Sam crying and pissing himself on a pile of dead bodies in the middle of battle but somehow surviving.

Pair of fecking cocks, D&D!
 
Really feel as if the title of this thread should be “Our watch has ended” it’s bugged me for a few weeks now and I thought I could live with it but every time I see it I just want to rip out my eyes.

Sam shouldn't have been out there
Pod should have died
Reckon one of jaime or Brienne should have been majorly hurt / wounded too. Prob brienne

Jorah dying like that would have been cool but I didn't mind his death
They should have kept Selmy for this

Dany losing both Selmy and jorah would have been quite something. She should have lost her second dragon as well here rather than to that bitchcake Euron
 
Not many who have been happy with their death it seems or their end arcs ...

Cersei, dany, varys, euron.

Guessing theon and ser friendzone are the exceptions
 
My mum rang me the other day saying 'guess what - we did the walk of shame last night!' They were in Dubrovnik and apparently its a 'big thing' over there now along with 'the kings landing'. She's never seen the show so I didn't have heart to tell her what the walk of shame actually entailed.

The headlines have all been very selective with their quotes. Probably for clickbait reasons. Most of these quotes have been taken from an article that's more than a month old? It's hyperlinked in below.

Here's the full quote.
“Obviously you dream of your death,” she added. “You could go in any way on that show. So I was kind of gutted. But I just think they couldn’t have pleased everyone. No matter what they did, I think there was going to be some big comedown from the climb.” Headey previously told EW in an interview conducted before the final season aired that her reaction her final scene was “mixed” at first. “I wanted her to have some big piece or fight with somebody,” she says. But then the actress talked over the scene with Coster-Waldau and came around to appreciating Cersei’s final moments. “The more we talked about it the more it seemed like the perfect end for her,” Headey says. “They came into the world together and now they leave together.” In that last moment, staring at her brother, waiting for the end, Headey says, “It’s maybe the first time that Cersei has been at peace.”
The bit in bold is key. I think an element of "Last Jedi syndrome" is creeping in again, where an actor's throwaway comment from early on in production is used by those who didn't like the outcome to justify their hatred and spread around the Internet to make sure that's what sets the narrative. It's like how Last Jedi detractors stick on Mark Hamill's comments that he didn't initially understand Luke's direction in that film, while ignoring the fact that he came to see that Rian Johnson's decisions worked out logically. In the case of Lena's interview here, her positive comments are in the exact same quote. :lol: And as we've seen since The Last Jedi and in the past few weeks with Game of Thrones, any positivity from the actors is considered to be a lie they have to perform for contractual reasons, and that their "real disappointment" will apparently come out in the wash "when they're free from their contracts", as if there's some conspiracy. Let's be honest, Cersei going out in a combat scene would have been stupid. Lena's reaction was mixed at first, but she came to appreciate it and considered it to be a "perfect" ending by the time they came to film it... But I guess that wouldn't generate clicks?
 
She didn't look at peace while blubbering "I don't want to die, don't let me die."

Shame Margaery died. She would've been the perfect Queen. A schemer but not cartoonishly evil like Cersei and good enough to help the people even if it was only to help her achieve her own goals and didn't need adoration like Dany.

Plus so fecking hot.

Have a feeling you might get something closer to your wish in the books. I can't find the exact quotes, but Martin has suggested a few times since season 6 ended that a lot of characters who died when Cersei blew up the sept will still have a large role in the books. Plus there are a larger number of Tyrells in the books than there ever were in the show - then again, there are far more characters and houses and such in the books, so that's basically a given by this point.
