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.. |

I'm just glad they finally made Arya a badass. You saw hints of it with her sparring with Brienne, killing the Waif, killing Trant, and killing Little Finger, but to see her actually fight multiple enemies and display her ability to be an assassin, it was pretty cool to see. Too bad Bran is still useless, I mean what could he do now that would make his character worth anything at this point instead of being a yearbook for the graduating classes of Westeros? Warg into the Mountain is the only thing I can think of that will actually make me like Bran.

I know George rr Martin maybe had creative differences. If he backed the general idea of the ending I just find it hard to believe the show runners would take creative liberties with an extremely critical detail over who'd kill the night King.

Meh. Halfway through when all the main characters were being overrun it became apparent that the only way for it to end without every living person being killed was for the NK to go down. From that point on it was just drawn out battle scenes with some nice little throwbacks and easter eggs mixed in. Mostly played out in the dark.

Action was great, score was great. Story and writing was garbage.
This show has gone too mainstream and started catering to the lowest common denominator as soon as it passed the books. I knew it had jumped the shark when Ed Sheeran showed up and every other line was a sophomoric penis joke. |

I would just like for the writers to understand how castles actually worked and why people went to the expense of building them.
Suffice to say a major stronghold like Winterfell should be able to force the night king out in the open since his army had no siege equipment at all. Just masses of bodies aren't getting through a properly built castle. |

Castles were seriously designed fortifications designed to kill anybody foolish enough to assault them head on. |

I could be wrong, but I thought in the books Winterfell had an 80 foot outter wall with a 100 foot wall behind it, with a moat in between. That would’ve been cool to see. 2 different walls to scale. Would’ve made it easier to defend.

Don't bring facts into this. Let them revel as babes at this chicanery.

It's 2. There isn't much doubt about it at this point, unfortunately.
