If they give us this kind of action in ep4 I can't wait for the last couple episodes of the season. And next season....nut.
Seriously, I saw someone else say we were all expecting that in this episode. I sure wasn't. No other season that I can recall had a battle scene like that prior to the end (2nd to last episode) of a season. If we will get a lot of action like that the next two seasons that will be quite the bang.
Also worth noting are the parallels between the Lannister children and the Stark children. Cersei and Sansa -- Grew up traditional ladylike wanting to marry the prince and become queen, but were instead forcefully thrown into the game and had to rely on their political savvy to survive. At one point in the earlier seasons, Cersei even says that Sansa reminds her so much of herself, which could be dangerous. Jaime and Arya -- Grew up wanting to be fighters and follow the knight's path. They were also their fathers' favorites. Tywin spent 4 hours a day hours fixing Jaime's dyslexia teaching him how to read. Ned set up secret fighting lessons for Arya with Syrio Forel. Jaime went on to become one of the best sword fighters in the realm while similarly Arya mastered her Needle sword and became an assassin. Tyrion and Bran -- A dwarf and a cripple; both half men. Youngest of their siblings. Both have experienced traumatic childhoods with their disabilities and having to rely on others. Tyrion went on to become a self-loathing drunk while Bran became an emotionless savant. Neither became heirs to carry their house legacy.
This was sick Robert Baratheon, the most successful military strategist in Westeros for 300 yrs, once said, "Only a fool would face the Dothraki in an open field." Jon Snow would add, "or the Dead."
Point of clarification -- can Bran see the future? Do we have evidence that he can? He was surprised to see Arya -- he said he saw her at the Crossroads (meaning when she found out about Jon/Sansa on way to KL) and figured she would head to Kings Landing. So that made me think he CAN'T see the future? Just the present and past?
Dothraki or Wildlings: Who would you rather party with? Now answer that question for The Hound. Who would he rather party with?
Yes. S06e06 "Blood of My Blood" he had a quick montage of past, current and future visions. We didn't really know what all was past or future prophecy. But now it seems more clear. Here's the montage in regular motion and slow motion. You can also search for breakdowns, too. But bare in mind, any breakdown right after that episode aired will not really know whether the Sept explosion was future or past.
Nice Episode . .. Just don't want little finger to die stupidly It would destroy his whole arc Same with Varys Best two characters in the series Sansa is the only stark without superpowers I don't get all the hatred for her. . . IMO she has had it the roughest Psychologically speaking Rocket River
This thread noticed and covered most of those. Good job guys! The designs are interesting though. Wonder what they could mean?
that creek Jamie fell in was deceptively deep. Wasn't it like shin high on his horse when he was galloping at Dany? Then he gets knocked off and
Just another satisfying payoff in that episode, huh? Bran just wiped that smugness right off. I bet he regrets giving Bran that knife now twiceover.
I'm a total books hugger (yes I said books because there are MULTIPLE books HeyP!) and I know that dragons use a special fuel to spit flames. Oh my god, did you REALLY think Drogon was carrying around gasoline in his neck? No CLEARLY you don't love dragons because every dragon lover knows that dragons burn rendered pork fat which burns much hotter than ANY fuel this world has EVER known(other than the upper level people in the swine fat rendering industry). If you don't know anything about dragons, then you should just stick to reading this thread. George RR Martin 4 LIFE! I bet you don't even know what the RR stand for. Psssshhttt...
You brought up the old scene with the 5'3" actor and kingsguards, I agreed it was silly and another reason why the writers are so inconsistent. But you use it to make it seem like I'm defending that scene when I'm not, regardless book or no book. Did you personally write that Arya-Ed Sheeran scene yourself cos you're fine defending it but attacking the other scene? If I actually followed the show closely then, which I did not until I read the books to find out what the hell is it that makes it so interesting to other people, and I saw a 5' 3" hobbit take on steel metal plate armored kingsguards with a wooden stick, then yes, i'll nitpick it as you say. I dont understand why you need to defend the show so strongly though. You must be head of the Arya fanclub of your chapter. I can accept dragons as a creature that exists in the GoT universe, I can accept Yoda having the Force in the Star Wars one and using it to fight other siths, I can accept Varys and Dany having their conversation once reaching the castle because the writers needed to end season 6 with them otw to the 7 as a team. Jaime still can't fight using his offhand, which is a route the writers took and I'm fine with it. Its believable. It might also be believable that he's trained it enough that he can fight with it. Those two options are fine with me.
I have a feeling the symbols will be key to bringing down the Night King. They're just too prevalent in the show to mean nothing. I am guessing Sam figures it out when reading the scrolls.
But arent the white walkers the one making those designs out of the corpses in the north? Why would they make them and let them be seen if that could be their downfall?
