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.. |

This is the most negative place on the internet about season 8. It's unbelievable. We have talked for 8-9 years in here. Now we have a few episodes left, they go full Debbie Downer.

However, I truly wish they used what little of the time code they had at the end of a truncated Season 7 to giving Dany more development in this regard if this was her outcome. I think this was always there, from the outcome of the Qarth storyline, her execution of the masters in Season 5 without due process, her promises to the Dothraki to conquer Westeros in Season 6, and even her demands to have Jon bend the knee at the beginning of Season 7. I think if there’s anything that I’d change - it’d be to continue ramping up that intensity through the end of Season 7. Instead they delved into her vulnerability and explored her own self doubt about her worthiness for the throne, which twists the knife for the viewers - but is a hard heel turn to fully pull off an appreciate in the span of five episodes. |

It's not the fact that she turned full Mad Queen that makes no sense. The writing to get us here has been ****ing absurd, as it has been for other events in the season.
Arya kills the Night King to "subvert expectations." Not because she's been trained as a badass assasin fir the while series, no. It's because people expected Jon to do it and Game of Thrones has to be unexpected. One of the biggest catalysts for Daenerys going full heel was Rhaegal and Missandei dying. Why did that happen? Plot induced stupidity. "Dany kind of forgot about the Iron Fleet." That is just poor writing. You're forcing events to happen to make Daenerys lose her mind. |

Watching the clip, Ian clarifies it's "what he's heard." This makes me really, really hope he didn't get told hearsay that originated with a reddit thread. Which are Charlie theorizing about Pepe Silva ![]() |

Dany’s turn was sad. It’s hard to watch a character you’ve cheered for and believed in for a decade or more (for me, 13 years) do something that ugly.
They had her choose the path of fire and blood. Which, honestly, is what has been most successful for her over time. Her attempts to win power through inspiration and admiration have not been successful. The only path remaining to her is one driven by fear. Gloucester makes a good point that no city would ever surrender to one of her armies again. The counterpoint from Dany’s point of view is that no city would ever dare rebel if they know what happens. This is consistent with her comments about how mercy is interpreted. It was hard to watch. Especially if you believed - as I did for a long time - that she was the prince who was promised. Quote:
War room scene, episode four. They remove markers representing forces from the table. Half the unsullied and half the Dothraki were removed, indicating half survived. Which would indicate that the extinguishing of the Dothraki flaming arakhs wasn’t indicative of them being wiped out to a man... more likely just entering the blizzard zone and having the fire extinguished.

Our football Savior is right. Bran has to warg into a dragon. Danerys, something along those lines. It's the only way to remove the Dragon, unsullied, dorthraki from threatening the people ever again in the future whats next in Westeros that we will never see. It's the only plot twist left to tie this all up in one episode. That said, I expect more deaths of major characters including Jon to make that possible future happen.
