Arch Stanton Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Bronn seems a bit obsessed with "cock". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Decent ending that sets it up for the last season. Was a number of decent scenes Littlefinger's scheming finally caught up with him. The scenes between Ceresi and her two brothers were also great.Jon and Dany made a huge mistake going north of the wall. If the Night King hadn't got hold of the dragon then they would still be stuck there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 All their biggest mistake is taking Cersei at her word. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 'N Yellow Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Wasn't how I expected the meeting to go but enjoyed it. I would have been devastated if Jaime had been killed this episode even though I expected it. Seeing Rhaegar was pretty surreal, he's only been mentioned in the show for the past 7 years. Cool to finally find out Jons real name as well. Seen the Winterfell plot twist coming, but seeing Littlefinger on his knees begging for his life was so, so satisfying. The final scene was predictable but pretty glorious tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have made it through regardless, the wall is massively under staffed and there are entire sections that are completely unguarded. Having a Dragon made it easier to get through there's no doubt, but they have at least 2 undead giants who could force the gates open to allow the rest to flood in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Well the supposed spoiler I read was that Bronn is killed by Cersei, so thankfully that proved to be bollocks. Still hoping he'll get his castle. I thought that was an excellent, tight episode. To a certain extent it was predictable, although Cersei had me convinced the truce was genuine. I also began to genuinely believe Jaime was for the off. The only negative was Sam and Bran's conversation, which felt a bit clumsy. Just assuming Tormund and Beric made it, there'd be no point in last week's Tormund death fakeout and Beric going on about being kept alive for a purpose to then kill them both without fanfare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something had to break the spells that prevented the undead from passing (as explained by Benjen in the last series). Apparently that something was the dragon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarusQPFC Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Been thinking about what was said to have happened during Roberts Rebellion vs what actually happened as based on the events of the series. Robert was a very proud and short tempered man. Lyanna was betrothed to Robert, i suspect this was nothing more than a political marriage as so many are in the various houses. Most likely Lyanna felt nothing for Robert while Robert held an almost obsessive desire for her, evidenced by how he spoke of her. For the sake of their families honour and not to insult the Baratheon's, Rickard(Ned's father) wouldn't allow Lyanna out of the arranged marriage with Robert, so this is probably why Rhaegar "kidnapped her" although it could also be because she was with child and both new Robert would kill them both in a furious rage. Basically, Robert was a c**t, Ned was far more Noble, his motivations for going to war were to avenge his family and rescue his sister. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradHorse Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I was pretty disappointed in the way Littlefinger died. I always thought he had a massive part to play and in true Game of Thrones style he really should've won in some way. Lena Headey is fucking fantastic though eh? Takes an excellent actress to look as great as she did when shooting a scene with all the main actors from the series. I liked Euron's departure. Not just cause it was a cool moment, thought it served the character quite well. Didn't like the character much during the season but that was a good way for him to depart this series and also to set him up for the final series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the spells story was bollocks, the spells didn't stop those bodies from reviving and trying to kill Jeor Mormont. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ruined his story arc compared to the book by changing what happened with Sansa. Maybe he'll have the same fate ultimately but it won't unfold in anything like the same way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way that's usually explained away is that being escorted by somebody who had taken the Night's Watch vow made that possible in some way. You have a point though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'm pretty sure that won't be the last we see of Littlefinger. Using his face will allow Arya to navigate in to places she'd have difficulty doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Thoroughly enjoyable finale. Great to see Littlefinger get his jotters. Was convinced that he had duped Sansa but she, once again, showed that she's been learning the game the entire time and caught him unawares. Really praying that big Tormund survives at least to see Brienne one more time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradHorse Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Also I thought the Hound's little chat with Brienne about Arya was great. The last episode in particular had a fair bit of conversations between characters you'd always wanted to meet in a sort've 'fan service' sort of way, but I thought they absolutely nailed the Hound/Brienne reunion. It was perfect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did have a massive part, he was shown to have instigated the war of 5 kings, Manipulated Catelyn into releasing Jamie Lannister, which ultimately snowballed into Rob losing much of his support in the war, Negotiated the Lannister/Tyrell alliance, He helped have Joffrey killed thus leading to many of the events at King's Landing thereafter, he forced Sansa to wed Ramsay Bolton which eventually resulted in the Battle of the b*****ds to name a few... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always saw Littlefinger as a big player for the end game so knowing Sansa absolutely destroyed him does add to her character a fair bit now you frame it like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye... I know that. I just felt like a character that did all that and was proven to be as shrewd as they come would eventually come out with a win in some way at the end. Think about how much the fans hated him... of course he should've won in some way. It would've been the perfect character arc for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
