Game of Thrones

For a slightly uneven episode stretch post-The Door, that wrapped up the season well, and set the pieces really well.

[Chuck to Chuck]

Maybe Dany will be along to save the day, but I think that the real outcome of the Battle of the Bastards is that the north will be primed for getting crushed by the white walkers. All the fighting men, literally ALL of them, appear to be dead now. This does not bode well for anyone.

We know the Walkers hav a problem with fire.  And "Dragon" glass.  If only there was someone headed for Westeros who had access to large, portable fire producing machines.

And along that line, WTF are the walkers waiting for?

Mance Rayder once said that there's magic in the wall that prevents them from moving south.  I can't quite remember where I've heard this theorized but someone mentioned that the presence of the Three Eyed Raven (now Bran) north of the wall solidifies this power. If the TER moves south of the wall, then the magic in the wall is toast. There's a chance that they're now trying to push Bran south of the wall now.

Covered.

Yeah, I thought this season dragged a bit but the last two episodes were excellent.

Cersei's plan was a masterstroke in the short-term but I can't imagine her reign will last too long.

Loved the nod to Frey pie in the same episode that Wyman Manderly made his (first?) appearance.

And I'm always a sucker for a good KING IN THE NORTH! scene.

Yea, that was the first for Wyman. We saw Wendel at the Red Wedding, but that's about it.

Remember when no one was safe?

Remember when no one was safe?

"If we kill the Night King, that guy over right over there, all the White Walkers will die."

"If only we had a dragon or two or three here right now to blast him with fire while we can see his exact position."

"Can't use them for that. We need to airlift some dudes to safety."

"Won't killing the Night King make them safe, too?"

"Sorry, can't hear you."

I've got to think that that won't happen in the book. It could be a huge misdirect, but there's been a lot of talk/build up about a horn bringing the wall down. However, the idea of them having a dragon wight is also pretty badass.

As far as character deaths go, I think all bets are off in the final season.

mrs. flannj and I started binge watching this "TV Show" about a month ago.
We just finished season 4.
She wants a dire wolf.
People that have watched it keep telling us that they are jealous of us.

I like boobs.

There sure as hell seems to be a lot of castration.
Not a fan of that part.

The rest is entertaining as fuck.

Our neighbours have a wolf hound. It's frigging huge.

So it's called the Red Wedding because of all the blood right? Feel like that's a decent giveaway as to what would occur.

No - it's called that because Cat was on her period when they slit her throat. These are the kind of details you're missing out on if you don't read the books.

Boy that's one bloody cat.

Damnit, RV. That made me laugh to beat the band.

As I cautiously make my way through this thread I laughed.

[flannj]

Last night on the Daily Show John Stewart referred to a bloody event and said, "...or as they refer to it in the 'Game of Thrones', a wedding."

Did you laugh out loud?

No.  Mrs. CBStew doesn't watch G.O.T., so I started to explain the reference to her.  Have you ever tried to describe Game of Thrones to anyone?

I tried explaining it to Chuck the other day.

And again

[flannj]

Hold the Door!

I'll admit I cried.
Godamnit this show.
