Game of Thrones

It's getting pretty contemporary yes. I noticed from the trailer of the big battle that their was a "Trump. Make Westeros great again" sign in the background.

Holy shit that episode!

Great violence 10/10

Damn that episode felt rewarding af, that was a great battle. So thought Tormund was going to die and I was going to get mad as hell. RIP to the giant, he was the last of his kind right? : (

Psyched to see the Greyjoy sister make a move too. Shit's about to get gully out at sea.

The highlight, of course, was

though

Hell yeah. I think Sansa's smile as she walked away pretty much summed up how most of us all felt after it was done. Scared now though, I bet we're getting punished in the season finale.

Same here, wife was certain tormund would be killed. Shame about the giant, another heroic end though (like Hodor). Rickon should of zigzagged but oh well, he was fated for death. Like that Bon Jovi song, SHOT THRU THE HEART /ANS ITS TOO LATE / YOU GAVE BOLTON / A BAD GAME

 

Who were flayed men? Prisoners? Spies? Random poor SOBs? Or do Boltons jusr keep some dead enemies in freezers til battle?

The flayed men were probably just some prisoners used for psyops. And yeah, Rickon should have changed his trajectory a few times. It's too bad you never really got to know about Rickon in the show, if they could have developed his character and storyline a little more that death would have felt much more meaningful. Fortunately Jon Snow's reaction was enough to really draw me in.

 

I need to watch this again asap.

I was bored through most of the battle. Didn't feel it. Glad Ramsey got fucked. As a whole glad that the plot moved forward some more. It's going to end with all thrones being occupied by women.

I think that was the first episode I wasnt too pissed off by. I'm not sure if Im going to watch any more series after this still.

Well that was certainly something.

Yes

Pretty awesome episode despite some bad writing leading to it.

 

The twist at the end was predictable, and also set up by shit writing, is there any logical reason for Sansa to have kept that shit secret?

 

Makes you hate Sansa more than ever.

That giant could have absolutely dominated that battle if he would have acted like a fucking giant. Pick up a dead horse and start mowing down the guys with the shields and spears. Also why did he not fashion himself an armor.

yeah that giant in metal armour with a helmet could have literally obliterated 500 men unless they had someone very accurate with a cannon or something.

That episode was visually awesome, but the writing was paint-by-numbers.

Probably because Jon would of sent them in prematurely or not from the flank as a surprise. He fucked up by leading the charge so early anyway. He's not a shit commander but he's still too emotionally guided on the battlefield.

It was hard watching him go down for that reason, another casualty to fighting honorably I suppose. He probably would have refused armor (wildlings seem dismissive of it, much like the barbarian tribes they seem to be a homage to historically who fought without armor when Romans and later medieval armies did)

 

...but man would he have been amazing in armor, like the Mountain x10

This was pretty lazy. Winning a war with three dragonssszzzzzzzzzsnorefest. And mr Snow magically cannot die...zzzzzzzzzzzzzsnore. Funny how the amount of fighting was negatively related to the amount of tension in this episode.

 

Hope next week will be better! ;D

"act like a fucking giant"


omg actually true tho, smashed a horse and rider but couldnt step on some men? gimme a break

watching it last week we actually said the lines before they did- it was that predictable

lollers

yep, that was some braveheart shit.

how could this episode bore someone? lol

 

Classic Roman vs Celtic fighting tactics. Akin to the Boudica uprising against Ancient rome. Great episode

Definitely one of the best episodes so far this season, and for sheer action alone, maybe of the series. Ramsey getting grizzled by his dogs was a nice little irony, albeit predictable, very satisfying though.

 

Sansa drafting in Little Finger was a given. His face as the scene panned across his army, lel.

 

The scene where Jon is on the battlefield and that whole course of horsemen charging at him was real too. Awesome.

That bit where he was about to suffocate under a pile of soldiers had me gasping for air irl.
