Some good scenes and moments etc but with only 6 total episodes I was hoping we would have had more action by now. I did enjoy the episodes but it was a bit too much reuniting etc. What do you guys and gals think so far?

I have more thoughts but even though I mentioned Spoilers I did not want to say too much.

They will continue to give you very little action.
All the deaths madness and mayhem will essentially happen in one episode (5th most likely), to outstrip the carnage of the red wedding.

There ya go.  They're going to keep you on edge and then try to blast you off your seat.

Next Night King vs Snoke for most disappointing villain EVER....
(I hope the books detail these events out better  as this wrap up felt to easy like they had to do it this was to get to the rest of the story...)

Some of the dead wood characters are finally cleared out. Good dragon fight.

She buries Friendzone Jorah, learns that Jon is way more popular than her with the Northern crowd, keeps getting the evil eye from Sansa, loses another dragon (out of stupidity), has the Unsullied whittled down to like a couple of platoons, gets bad advice again from Tyrion ("Uh... let's go ask Cersei if she will surrender!"), and then gets to watch Missandei lose her head.

So... once again I'm left with the startling revelation: People in GoT-Land have never heard of 'reconnaissance'. I mean, seriously. You can't fly those dragons at a couple of thousand feet altitude and get a good lay-of-the-land before sailing a fleet loaded with troops into waters where you already know there is an enemy fleet? Even the Japanese at Midway had better sense than that.

Also, there is always Bran the Warg... thing. Can't he turn himself into like a U-2/Raven thing and spot for you? Or is he too caught up in watching the "Married With Targareans" reruns to even care? Dude is always like, "Uh... I'm not Bran anymore and I've got more important things to do". He's just like a teenager with an iPad or something.

It's starting to look like the best way for Dany to be queen is to wait for Nephew Jon and marry him. Varys has already figured this out. I suppose when you have no gonads, then you have plenty of time to think rational thoughts, eh. And BTW, kudos for Varys finally being the first person to say that Dany is Jon's aunt. We viewers mostly knew that by now, but no one in the show had said it yet.

So... does Dany rebound, or does Jon take over? I mean, we know that Cersei is gonna get it eventually. What about Arya? If she assassinates Cersei, maybe she could be made Queen, eh? I mean, she would have killed the two baddest baddies in the show.

Looking forward to the "Clegane Bowl".

Or to protect his Baby.....

hmmmmmmm..

Arya has a role to play still but I don't think the honor of killing ceresi will be hers.


Ceresi played Danny like a fiddle and she will do something stupid and get her self killed in an act of rage.   which solves the danny/jon problem.

(05-06-2019, 11:55 AM)Bengalzona Wrote: Well, Arya's list can't be very long at this point:

1. Cersei
2. the Mountain

Right?

(05-06-2019, 12:48 PM)XenoMorph Wrote: Right she wont get the Mountain either...



BTW Jon snow doesn't deserve ghost.    Couldn't even say goodbye.

(05-06-2019, 12:53 PM)Bengalzona Wrote: Yeah. I could see where Jaime has to end up killing Cersei. Some sort of poetic justice thing. The King Slayer now becomes the Queen Slayer, eh.

But I could also see the Mountain getting the better of the Hound in a fight, and Arya hoping in to kill the Mountain at the last minute (possibly just in time to hear the Hound's last words telling her to piss off).
