Game of Thrones Seasons 7-8
About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that... For future us, 2015 thread is here: Link Last edited by keg in kc; 06-21-2017 at 10:48 AM.. |

Way too damn dark and yes, you had to suspend disbelief for a lot of the fight. The shows writers suck really. I am definitely finishing out the show but extremely disappointed in some of the stuff they have done to this point when they had to make their own story.

I think he went out to get the NK's attention. Once he did that, was when the undead and NK (once he dealt with Jon) moved on the Wierwood. Although they said since he was marked the NK knew where he was already, so that doesn't completely jive.
I wish when they questioned how the NK would know where he was, he would have just said something along the lines of being able to get his attention, after seeing how it went down. |

The more I think about the episode, the more irritated I am. We spent a ton of time in the this show talking about valyrian steel and dragon glass so that people could kill walkers. So then we get to the final battle and no one actually fights one? WTF?

Enjoyed what I could see in the episode. Kept hoping for sunrise so I could see what the hell was going on.

I'm glad I had a new TV for this, my old one would have been too dark, but the 4k one I bought recently turned on to its brightest setting really did the trick as I had no problem seeing what was going on.
Recall that they also did the big Blackwater battle and the big Wildling vs Nights Watch battles in the dark too. It's a budget thing. If you have a full blown movie budget, you can do daytime battles, but on TV budgets, even large ones like GoT, day battles are too expensive to do well. |

My plasma TV held up great for the dark scenes.

Yes, drove me nuts in the middle of the battle.

The NK holding his generals back from the battle and letting the grunts fall over dead was a good strategy. Then bring his Generals and himself in for the final blow.

It wasn't just the white walkers it could kill, it was all of the wights. Ordinary weapons wouldn't work against all the wights (the regular dead), White Walkers, and Night King. That was made clear at the meeting with Cersei when they brought the wight down from beyond the wall).

And then they stand there like a bunch of pissants as a teenage girl runs through and kills their leader.
