HBO's Game of Thrones

[meanstreak]

I think someone should add spoilers to the title if we want to stop using spoiler tags

It doesn't air until today/tonight across the pond.

While it's not necessary to use spoilers, I do it out of common courtesy. Doesn't take much for you and I to click on spoilers, but it makes a world of diffference for someone looking to avoid the spoilers.

I am hoping to see the Blackfish again. But...

Spoiler

the part of me that doesn't trust Littlefinger AT ALL wonders if it's a lie to separate Sansa from Brienne

And the more I think of

Spoiler

Bran changing the past from the present, the more apprehensive I am about it. It was awesome to watch last night, but having thought about it more, I hope that we do not come back and point to this as the episode where GOT jumped the shark. Bran better not use his powers to travel back and stop the Children of the Forest from creating the White Walkers.

But that's my point. If it doesn't air until tonight for some people, why would they come in here (or any GOT thread) before watching it!? Makes no sense.

 

[DinoDB1975]

Oh, I agree, but some people can't help themselves.

I didn't like the original design but prefer it over the new one, specially since every COTF looks exactly the same.

In regards of Bran's actions during last episode...

Spoiler

In just one night Bran got his mentor, best friend, pet and a whole species wiped out. I know it had to happen this way but it's still tragically hilarious.

Also...

Spoiler

After what we saw last night I'm 99% certain that R + L= J & M.

Let us remember season 3 when the Reed brothers were introduced, Meera found herself at odds with Osha just like Jon was with Orell during the same period of time. I don't believe in coincidences.

Also, Howland Reed looks nothing like her, he seemed like an older version of Jojen, hair color is important in this show. The seed is strong indeed.

Damn we are halfway through this season already!

What could have been the most exciting sexual fantasy ended up being his doom...

The original design has got to be one of the least-inspired and most half-assed I've ever seen.

Wut

I was also using spoilers because some folks watch on demand and may need a few days, and as mentioned, some folks in Ireland at least aren't getting it until a day or two after those in the U.S. This is a convention with movies, where folks can still talk without spoilers for a week or so before the spoiler tags can go. But I agree that folks shouldn't really be in here until after they've seen the more recent episode. Just a bad idea.

They look the same to me. Like a group of siblings all wearing the same uniform. I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

That guy is also the new actor portraying the Night's King. And I think the new look for the Children of the Forest is way better than the original. It was just confusing how they changed it.

Ah, interesting.

 

[Devil_666]

The original guy was the drug addict/douchey guy on The Rock's squad from Doom.

That's another character that's switched up looks from season to season. Always looks different.

Only episode where I couldn't hold back my tears while watching with my wife. She ran to the restroom to bawl. Cats looked at us like we were crazy.

The Arya storyline is really starting to drag. As a concept it has potential but I feel like I've seen the same scene since last season to now over and over again.

Ha! Same damn thing happened to me. Watching with my wife (who was bawling) and it's the ONLY time in the series where I couldn't hold back my own tears. It was so well done that I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I honestly had no clue who they were or if I'd ever seen them before. Between ever-changing actors, new make-up designs and long time gaps since characters were last seen it can be pretty hard to keep track of what's going on in this show unless you rewatch it...which I haven't been.

Yep.

 

[Ce Ilhuicamina]

At this moment I'm hoping that Daenerys stages a massive exodus to Westeros so that Arya can tag along and be done with her faceless men shenanigans.

The stage farce about the downfall of her family was definitely a test, and I think it's one that Arya is going to fail. I believe she'll make the choice to leave the House of Black and White and retake up her path of vengeance. Then things should start getting interesting again.

 

[Kamandi]

I suspect Aria will kill the other girl and switch faces so she may leave sooner and resume her revenge quest.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

I agree. I would be disappointed if Arya were to become a nameless, faceless medieval monk just bumming around Westeros acting all mystical. Teach her karate and put Needle back in her hand so that she can cross names off of her list.
