Mr_Danger Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 I'd go as far to say he's responsible for all whispers, including the ones involving Varys too. Maybe even the whispers from the trees in Lost as well. I can't accept time travel reality altering with my swords and sorcery. It could well and truly jump the shark for me if this happens.
Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted May 24, 2016 Paid Members Posted May 24, 2016 I'm not usually a fan of the time paradoxes. I nearly stopped watching Lost because it was boring me to tears with it, but what they did last night was utterly captivating TV. I'm happy to see how it plays out.
The King Of Swing Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 I belive that someone was whispering to the mad king but I don't think it was Brann. Maybe the red priestesses? They seem to love a good burning more than anyone and are certainly fanatical enough to mess with his head. Might also help explain the mixed results on their visions.
Paid Members Linus Posted May 24, 2016 Paid Members Posted May 24, 2016 It's not really a paradox, it's just a reveal of how things have always been. Wylis became Hodor. He always became Hodor. He always became Hodor because of Bran. We're just now seeing why.
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 24, 2016 Moderators Posted May 24, 2016 Yes, but Bran didn't exist then, but couldn't have gone on to exist if Hodor had never become Hodor. Hence paradox.
Guy Bifkin Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Generally I prefer the political plotlines to the supernatural ones. Thus, last night's episode felt like shitty Lord of the Rings territory.
Paid Members herbie747 Posted May 24, 2016 Paid Members Posted May 24, 2016 At first I thought - "Yeah exactly, Linus". Then I thought "ooh, good point Chest".
Paid Members Linus Posted May 24, 2016 Paid Members Posted May 24, 2016 It depends how you view time, and in a fantasy story it's tempting to view time as not all that linear once you introduce the ability to travel through it But, yeah, it's a classic paradox but the ground is more wobbly here than usual.
Paid Members herbie747 Posted May 24, 2016 Paid Members Posted May 24, 2016 Yeah, agreed - but it throws some dumb stuff into the mix, like time travel, which I would have preferred they left out of GoT. It' sci-fi territory - I like both, don't like mixing the 2. And yes, I understand the ridiculousness of questioning the credibility of time travel in a show like GoT, that has had everything else except time travel up to now. But still - l like what I like. There's enough complicated stuff to keep track of without adding this into the mix. I can't even keep track of the characters names FFS! Plus Bran is shit - if Tyrion has time traveled I might have loved it or made excuses for it.
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 24, 2016 Moderators Posted May 24, 2016 Well, I think the only thing saving it from being totally irredeemably shit for me is that no-one has actually physically time traveled, as such. I think that's the only aspect that makes it a bit more wobbly. But I really hope we don't see much more of it.
The King Of Swing Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Anyone else thinking that The High Sparrow will do a Jesus and be resurrected after being killed?
Paid Members herbie747 Posted May 24, 2016 Paid Members Posted May 24, 2016 Anyone else thinking that The High Sparrow will do a Jesus and be resurrected after being killed? I hope not - he's a smug cunt - would love to see his face smashed in with a rock or something - maybe by Jaime or Bron.
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted May 24, 2016 Paid Members Posted May 24, 2016 I doubt the show is going into sci-fi territory. I reckon this will be the extent of Bran fucking with the past.
Paid Members air_raid Posted May 24, 2016 Paid Members Posted May 24, 2016 Generally I prefer the political plotlines to the supernatural ones. Thus, last night's episode felt like shitty Lord of the Rings territory. Surely the first scene of the first episode should turn off anyone not into supernatural, where blokes get killed by the undead? We're balls deep into the dead coming back to life, witches and dragons by the end of S1, S6 is far too late to complain about all that jazz!
