Paid Members JNLister Posted August 28, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2017 Oh bollocks. Apologies again for the wrong tags. For those who read it, nothing mentioned in that post is actually revealed in the episode beyond what was shown in the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallicks Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Someone on my twitter was having a right shit fit about this episode. I thought it was a rollocking good romp, and there they were getting all teary about the theoretical capabilities of an Ice Dragon and the predictability of Jon and Dany fucking. I just think, if you've watched it this far and you're disappointed, just go and re-examine what's important in your life, because it really doesn't matter at this stage. There's a handful of episodes left and shit needs to get resolved. Just because we're not getting 8 episodes of lads travelling on horseback doesn't mean it's not good. Enjoy it. And can I just say how much I enjoyed the Russo-tastic swerve with Arya and Sansa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) I think Thrones has been caught up in an Internet bandwagon. There were a few dissenting voices last week, and then this week the floodgates have opened. You've got Wired, Vice, The Guardian et al, all doing hit pieces on how it's gone to shit and how it's letting its audience down. It's all over-egged, of course, as they try and stay ahead of the Internet hive mind. I could see how last weeks was flawed, story being rushed in an attempt to be grandiose and hit the high notes maybe, but this week felt like solid, old school Thrones. A really strong episode. The Internet is really dull at times. I thought it was one of the strongest seasons. Really enjoyed it.

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted August 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2017 I read an article about how we are heading toward the end of the 'Peak TV' era and it mentioned that because Rotten Tomatoes now rates TV shows, critics basically look to pan or laud a show, with no in between. Anyway, I think GoT is great. I feel like if you watched that finale and are bitching, go watch something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think there is a lot in this. Something is either awesome or dogshit these days, if you go by people's judgements. Then again, I suppose you're more likely to comment something if you feel strongly at either end of the scale rather than tweeting that you thought a show was 'not bad'. I haven't read the online tantrums over this series/finale, so I have no idea why people are whining for. I liked it. Ok, most of it was predictable (the wall coming down, Stark sisters Russo swerving Littlefinger, Cersei agreeing to a truce and then plotting, Sam & Bran finding out the truth together, Jon and Dany doing sex), but it was fine and they are at the point where they now need to start closing certain storylines. We are near the end now, only 7 episodes left of the entire show. Tbh hardcore Thrones fans are like wrestling fans- you'll never please them. They want everything to go the way they want whilst at the same time they need to be surprised and shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 29, 2017 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2017 I don't much care for this meta discussion about what other people thought about it on the internet. Who gives a fuck? We have our own community to discuss it here. Let's argue with each other instead of talking about the opinions of idiots. I thought it was a great episode. A little disappointed about the Euron reveal; that would have been fucking hilarious if we just never saw him again. Baelish squirming was a delight. Sansa managed not to fuck up for the first time ever which was the biggest shock of the episode. Bran finally managed to be of some use, and Sam has really turned it around. He was pretty much my most hated character up until this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted August 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2017 I really enjoyed that episode. The Wall coming down was predictable but it was certainly spectacular, and it had to happen. The army of the dead can't be a threat if they can't get by the Wall. Let's face it even Hulk Hogan can spot a Wall he can get past from a mile away.  Just 6 episodes left now, and we may have to wait until 2019 for them. Certainly enough time for the real hardcore fans to ramp the anticipation up to a level so high that it is impossible to meet, and perhaps even time for *BOOK WANKER ALERT* the 6th book to come out *BOOK WANKER ALERT*  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're all 90 mins+ apparently, which is something. I can't quite shake the idea that the old Night King is going to get his hands on Cersei and her unborn, turn them blue, and we'll end up with the Nights Heir and the Rightful Heir (that being the kid of Jon and Dany, which he'll definitely call Ned).  Edited August 29, 2017 by d-d-d-dAz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted August 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) 2019 hasn't been confirmed has it? Filming is already scheduled to start October this year. I reckon we're looking at late summer/Autumn of 2018. Edited August 29, 2017 by LaGoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 29, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 29, 2017 Ah, I just assumed there would be 7 episodes again like this series, what with 7 being a meaningful number in Westeros. Still, if they are all 90+ minutes, then that's bloody sweet. Looking forward to seeing what the Golden Company will be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
