TV Game of Thrones [S7 SPOILERS]

[moon]

Spoiler:

Rip Olenna, one of the best chars.

Does anybody else feel like Varys' death is foreshadowed?? His convo with the red witch even more gave me that feel ;; Varys is one of my absolute favs, so that would be devastating.

The meeting between Jon and Dany went much less amicable than I had expected hahahah. But the scene when they looked out over the sea and she allowed him dragonglass was very nice. And Tyrion again totally kills it as an upfront advisor.

It bothered me that Dany basically lost her unsullied now. I guess I was hoping for more redemption from Jaime but he's too devoted to Cersei; he'll likely die for her in the end.

And I've still not quite gotten the hang of the map so it surprised me too that Bran reached Winterfell before Arya haha. Perhaps Jon will make it back after all in time to meet both his younger siblings?

I wonder how he will react when Bran tells him the truth. Bran should tbh tell somebody else so that that super important piece of information (Jon being a Stark-Targaryen) isn't depending on one disabled kid who could be killed at any time... GoT is so deadly. I don't trust Littlefinger at all, and I'm actually quite skeptical of Sansa these days. Is she power hungry or just simply think things differently than Jon do?

hey dany if you marry Jon Snow you can share the kingdoms, incest is apparently alright in GoT and in Targaryen and whatnot, not that you know about it anyways. yet.

Couldn't resist the leak, I watch the show illegally anyway so might as well..

Spoiler:

Wow, that battle scene. It felt like it was building up to someone dying for so long and yet Jaime & Bronn seem to have made it through. Bronn is kinda dispensable at this point, so it wouldn't have been the worst thing in the world to bump him off. I would say the same about Jaime, but I kind of want him to fulfill to Valonqar prophecy.

Bran continues to be a bit creepy as the Three-Eyed Raven, it will be interesting to see how much he knows about Littlefinger's moves so far. Littlefinger seems to have little reason to still be in Winterfell and the Starks certainly have increasing reason not to host him, I wonder where his plotline is going to go because really I still want him to be 'playing the game' in the final season as he is one of my favourite characters.

Tell me about Arya returning to Winterfell.

Spoiler:

The battle was really dramatic at times, definitely. One of them should have died - maybe Bronx did getting burned by the dragon in the process of saving Jaime's life, I don't know - but at least we know that those dragons can definitely go down if they have a multitude of those huge weapons. What is the prophecy linked to Jaime though? Never heard of it.

 

[EC]

I'm going to miss this show terribly when it's done. Thank goodness they pulled a LOTR and split the final season into two seasons.

 

[Cool_Porygon]

Spoiler:

Amazing battle, finally got to see Daenerys get a win in a big way. Drogon was so well done. Awesome to see the Starks reunited too. I'm constantly in suspense waiting for the axe to fall because that's what Game of Thrones does.

Spoiler:

In one of the books (and I think we've seen parts of it in the TV show), Cersei as a young child is given a prophecy.

Cersei: When will I wed the prince?
Maggy: Never. You will wed the king.
Cersei: I will be queen, though?
Maggy: Aye. Queen you shall be... until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.

So obviously the first part of this prophecy has came true and it is likely that Daenarys will be the 'younger and more beautiful' figure to take all she holds dear.

Cersei: Will the king and I have children?
Maggy: Oh, aye. Six-and-ten for him, and three for you. Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds, she said. And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.

Once again, the first part has came true as Cersei has given birth to three children and Robert fathered many more. 'Valonqar' is High Valyrian for little brother, so it's presumed that Tyrion or Jaime will kill Cersei, in fact one central aspect of her disliking for Tyrion is that she believes he will kill her due to other aspects of the prophecy coming true. Of course, it's a lot more interesting if Jaime kills her, although it seems it's becoming a bit late for him to redeem himself again now.

Some people like to consider anyone who is a little brother or little sister of any other character to be a candidate, but personally I think Jaime or Tyrion make the most sense.

Spoiler:

But for realsies though, that's very, very interesting. My money is that Jaimie is the one who strangles her. Tyrion I don't believe would have the strength to commit the act, but you can already see cracks in Jaime's trust in Cersei. Plus, I think that it just fits his "Kingslayer" arc going for him and would be fitting to have him return to his roots by betraying one more royal at the end.

Spoiler:

On the one hand, yaaaay the Stark kids together again. However, can't help but be amused a bit how Sansa is slightly unsure what to think of her brother able to have "visions" and her sister having a hit list.

And dat battle with Dany and her dragon. "Be the dragon" and not yielding. Heeding Olenna's words well there.

Oh, I've been also noticing half of the clips in Game of Thrones's Youtube page for this season features Arya haha.

Spoiler:

That episode was easily the best of the season so far, the episodes air for the first time at 2am here in England and me and my friends were just sitting in a dark room in shock for that last battle sequence, it was so intense. Such a good episode and was everything I love about GoT.

Even an episode where not a lot happened still managed to be incredible.

Really? I thought it was pretty bad. The Winterfell plot in particular is a mess (I'm not here for another season of contrived Stark sibling drama).

 

[Juno]

I felt like there was a lot of fanservice, which I personally don't mind, but so many things were blatantly a nod to the audience and the internet, like Davos' "I thought you were still rowing" comment - can't believe they put an actual meme on Game of Thrones.

Like I said earlier, Dany has always been a polarizing character and this was the first time I disagreed with something she did - a lot of viewers scrutinize her actions and try to paint her as a villain, which I think is a huge double standard because the things she does are not any worse than any other leader on the show has done in the face of war, plus she has a merciful and empathic side that a lot of the other main characters don't show, but the episode's opening scene was the first time I felt like she did something that actually supported the "Dany will become the Mad Queen" idea. Really wasn't a fan of that decision and I hope that's not the direction her character is headed in - maybe it's just to give Tyrion a chance to prove he can do something, if he does what Varys tells him to.

It was out of character for her, even, the way she spoke to the survivors, but maybe she couldn't empathize with Lannister soldiers the same way she did for the slaves of Meereen because of her preconceived hatred towards Lannisters/her enemies in Westeros.

Did you miss the bombshell that Gilly dropped, or does that not do anything for you?

 

[Grey Wind]

Eh. It felt way too convenient to me that Gilly just happened to stumble upon super important info in some dude's diary, and an annulment for Rhaegar and Elia doesn't make much sense considering their marriage had been consummated and they had two kids.

Also, that was only like five seconds of dialogue. There was still Dany's messy characterization, Jaime and Bronn somehow surviving, Tyrion's ridiculous KL scheme, the dumb love triangle and the awful Winterfell scenes. The only thing I really liked was Bran skinchanging all the ravens.

Yeah, it's kind of weird. Obviously there's nothing wrong with a couple of references but it feels like they're shoving them in to the dialogue and then winking at the camera.

 

[Lunar]

This episode didn't have the epic action of episode four, but it was by no means bad. It was a necessary episode to move storylines and bring characters together, it set an entire new direction for the show and shows how the living are gonna come come together to fight the white walkers. The Winterfell arc is building up to something big imo that will happen in the next episode or the finale and Gilly dropped a huge bomb in relation to Jon. This was a set up episode for the amazing events to come next week, which, judging by the trailer, is gonna be something special.

 

[Eruption]

I really enjoyed the episode, certainly a lot more than the previous setup episodes this season. I will agree that Davos' meme reference was a bit too ridiculous, although I was glad to see Gendry finally return. Gilly's discovery of the annulment was a bit too convenient as well, I would have preferred Howland Reed to be introduced and explain it.

Everything is kind of moving a bit quickly at the moment, but it's still really enjoyable.

Soooo... Episode 6 got released by accident in Spain. I got spoiled a plot twist AND IT'S A BIG PLOT TWIST. I didn't see it happening that episode.

Argh, I missed the leak...
