Ant 332 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 A sword that you can magically turn on fire has to be better than a sword that isn't on fire Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strawb 830 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 If I had the choice of fire sword or normal sword I'm going fire sword all day like Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ant 332 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Also, the lad who pretty much froze to death owned a fire sword... seems a bit of an error in judgement not to use it, it's not like they were hiding while they were trapped on the rock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ewerk 6,220 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I don't think it was the cold that killed him though. One fire sword is a risk, five or six is a health and safety nightmare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ewerk 6,220 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Was my copy missing scenes? No explanation of how the Unsullied got out of Casterly Rock? How did Jamie and Bronn escape their siege? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ewerk 6,220 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Also, I thought that there was magic built into the wall to stop the undead from passing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NJS 772 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) There was nobody stopping the unsullied - they'd all fucked off to highgarden - it just took them 4 or 5 eps to get there-just about the only realistic travel all season. The "siege" was just a show of strength. I enjoyed it but still think they should have done ten eps. Edited August 28, 2017 by NJS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That was supposedly fucked when Bran was touched by the NK and then passed the wall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ant 332 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 How was the apparently mute Ice king telling the undead dragon to do its stuff? Am I the only one hoping he just kills everything? Also keep expecting some faceless assassin to surprise attack Arya Hopefully Bronn fucks off somewhere mind , best character in it. oh well 2yrs till the next season glad i'm not a mammoth fan like or that'd properly piss me off Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ewerk 6,220 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) Yeah, I think Benjen mentioned it at some point. Overall the episode wasn't anything exciting. It pretty much tied up a lot of the loose ends that were in play. I thought the scene with Sam and Bran was particularly forced.

That scene was just for those who couldn't work out (I'm guessing Ant given what else he's missed ) what was obvious to the rest of us from the episode before last. Littlefinger came as a bit of a shock. I never expected him to make it all the way to the end but he's gone sooner than I would have thought. Bran being touched by the Night King was certainly the reason why I thought the dead were able to pass through the magic of the wall. But as Andrew says it's not been mentioned much in the show.

The Fish 770 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 It's been mentioned a few times, by Benjen and a couple others I think. I enjoyed the episode a lot, and there were still a few surprises, but it didn't feel like the end of other seasons. Perhaps because the pace was so quick this season. Was surprised to see Littlefinger get his comeuppance, but I guess there's going to be less need of plotters in the next season. He's not likely to get in the ear of the Night King. They played a few things really well, the zombie scene, Littlefinger's scene, the scene between Tyrion and Cersei. To be honest I enjoyed the way Cersei was used in the episode, her reaction to the zombie, her scene with Tyrion and the breakdown of her and Jaime's relationship.

NJS 772 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 It was well within character for her to state she didn't give a fuck about the world and only herself/family - and also as an extension of that to tell Jaime he could fuck off as she now has a new Lannister to focus on.

NJS 772 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Meant to add her bit about her two kids not dying if Tywin had lived was a push - the Sands wouldn't have cared about him in pursuit of revenge for Oberon. Tommen was mainly her fault for using the high sparrow to get Margery but I can see her thinking that would have panned differently with Tywin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's how she views the world though, she constantly fucks up, causes people she supposedly cared for to die and takes no responsibility. Its always someone elses fault.

ewerk 6,220 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Aye but given that he can command a huge army without talking I'm guessing he has some other telepathic way of doing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure it was worth dedicating the Stark sisters arc to for the whole series though. I'd have preferred they spent more of that time on people travelling places. I'm the first to complain about all the walking in Lord of the Rings but the way people were teleporting all over in this series and using crows like mobile phones was a complete gear shift from the time investment put into previous seasons.
