Game of Thrones Thread (The Thread is Dark and Full of Spoilers)

Sansa is on point

[Andrew]

Ramsey's one of the best ones, too. They're all fantastic...and deeply disturbing.

[Andrew]

If Disney Made Game of Thrones

I kind of want to see that happen, now.

That white walker is awesome.

Season 6 is just a little over a month away! In the meantime...

And now, Winter Season 6 is here. Pretty strong opening, I thought. Quite a few people I'm hoping to see get their comeuppance in the near future, as it's definitely due.

[Sauru]

that ending though

[Andrew]

"Well, you wanted nudity..."

[Sauru]

i saw some people say they didnt like the episode but i honestly think it was a good start. it reconnected us with a lot of story lines and kind of showed us a direction they will go in. i liked it and thought it was a good way to start the season.

[Andrew]

I agree. I mean, it still feels like the deck is stacked too much in the favour of the villains - or the characters who are closest to being the clear-cut villains/antagonists, anyway - and I feel like some good fortune is overdue for the more likeable characters. All the same, it was a good start that got me invested in all of the storylines and set up the season.

The season opener was alot more exciting than last season's first few episodes il say that much, and what a fox that Red women is!!

[Andrew]

It's some powerful magic, you've got to give her that.

[mp3]

I think a lot of the women in England going on a night out have that power too, sure don't look like they did the next day

[shadowgrin]

*Sees Jamie and Cersei hugging each other - 'Not this incest shit again' - *nothing happens between the two - 'Am I watching Game of Thrones?'


Brothraki bro codes.

[Andrew]

And so, one of the worst kept secrets in television history is finally revealed. Not that I'm disappointed, but come on, we knew that sooner or later, Jon Snow would be back. Honestly, I'm glad they didn't drag it out any further.

Elsewhere, treachery and betrayal. I mean, this is Game of Thrones, after all.

[Sauru]

i was saying that exact thing to my wife earlier today. why drag out what everyone already knows? was nice to get passed that so we can actually advance the story now.


also if there was ever any doubt who the most evil person in westeros was i think we can say those doubts are now gone

[Andrew]

Now now, why do you have to go and hate on Arya like that? Seriously though, yeah, they actually found a way to make Ramsey even more despicable, didn't they? He's long overdue for a comeuppance.



i have to admit though, after seeing Cersei's bad deeds catch up with her, I'm now on her side, and want to see the High Sparrow et al meet with an unpleasant fate. Love Tyrion's line, too. "I drink and I know things."

[mp3]

Couldn't look when Ramsey sent the dogs lose...

Yeah Andrew spoiler alert that Jon Snow was back, I remember seeing pictures of him in the British newspapers turning up on set day one for filming was a pretty big giveaway

[Andrew]

As I said, perhaps the worst kept secret in television...or at least, it's up there. Again, I'm glad they didn't drag it out, though the fake out was a nice touch.

I get the impression he's going to end up forgiving the traitors, though. When you learn nothing, you know nothing. And if there's one thing about Jon Snow...

[Sauru]

this show has a habit of doing that. i eventually started feeling bad for theon and almost forgot about the bad shit he had done. jaime lannister is another one where he started bad and i found myself rooting for him. to a lesser extent the hound as he was never as bad as the others.

[Andrew]

Pushing a kid out the window tends to have that effect. I completely agree on all counts though; it comes down to them redeeming themselves through noble actions, simply suffering enough retribution, or a greater evil presenting itself.

I mean, I'd ultimately prefer to see Dany and Tyrion "win", but I'll take Cersei over Ramsey, the High Sparrow, and the Sand Snakes.

[Andrew]

[Kevin]

Ah, Baelish. All of you don't know it yet but Little Finger isn't exactly.... "Little" himself. He's running everything in the series. Won't be surprised if he sits on the Iron Throne at the end.

[Andrew]

By this point in the television series, his manipulation is pretty apparent; I'd say most people have made accurate assumptions about his influence.
