Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)

[keg in kc]

A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.

A few quick ground rules:

• No Spoilers!!!!! for upcoming episodes.
• Larger Song of Ice and Fire discussion should be limited to the other thread although I think a tiny bit of book delving to fill in holes should be okay (example of this would be talking about Catelyn and her treatment of the wolves in the novel, which was alluded to on TV but never really made clear...)
• Everything that happened that week is fair game once an episode airs. So if you don't watch on Sunday night, I'd stay outta here until you do...

Translation:

What you just said is so strangely off the mark and wildly divergent from all reason and logic that I suspect you are being sarcastic or silly, and the nuance has just been lost in this text-only form of communication. If you are, I commend you and we can share a back-slapping laugh; however, if you are being serious, and you truly believe that statement as presented, then I can say without exaggeration or fear of contradiction that you are indeed a blithering, rampaging moron.

holy shit.

[wazu]

A great episode. But why weren't they paddling like hell at the end?

I agree, they didn't know if they would swim in after them or not.

[ThaVirus]

Yeah, their pace was more romantic night stroll than it was murderous ice zombies are after us.

When the Night King raised his hands on the dock I was thinking he might freeze the water or something.

[wazu]

After the relentlessness that the undead had shown, throwing themselves off of mountains and clawing their way under/through fences, I can't imagine feeling safe just drifting on a 12 feet deep body of water just barely off shore. Both oars need to be in motion and everybody else using their hands.

[Aries Walker]

Yeah, guys, get moving. Less "Moon River", more closing credits of Hawaii Five-O.

I don't know. I was high and it felt like they were drifting away for at least 20 minutes while the dude was raising up his arms in the "come at me bro" pose.

So good

I also had this horrible feeling that the giant (who waded out and disappeared) was going to have died from his wounds under the water and get risen with the other wights and come launching up and capsize a boat.

Okay, I didn't REALLY think that would happen, but it would have been ****ed up.

It also seemed foolish to be carrying the dragon glass in a satchel. I'd of weaponized the **** out it before heading anywhere past the wall. Put that shit on a spear or something.

Shit yes.

And what happened to those little dragonglass arrowheads Ghost found way back when? I believe I'd have a quiver full of arrows equipped with those bitches as well.

Anyone else getting suspicious of that lil hopper back at Castle Black?

I don't know anything about the story, but it seems like he might do something crazy. They keep showing him in the background when Jon Snow is talking about the Wildlings and then that scene with Sam and the soup.
