Game of Thrones season 8 mega thread

The Lord of Light has sent me on a mission. I will find the Prince who was Promised! It's Stannis!

Uh no it's not.

Well it could've been. But he has led me to Jon Snow, unquestionably the Prince who was Promised! He will slay the Night King!

Uh no he won't.

Forget it, I am here to light the arakhs of the Dothraki on fire to wield against the Night Kings army. That is my purpose!

Uh they got wiped out to a man within seconds.

Nevermind that, my mission is to light the trench on fire where no mortal source of flame will do! The Lord of Light wills it!

Uh they're crossing it anyway. It's literally doing nothing.

Do not blaspheme! The Lord of Light guides us all. My mission is clearly to give a pep talk to a teenager who will kill the Night King just as I always knew she would! I saw it in the flames!

Uh it sounds like you're just trying to get something to stick now.

My mission is complete! I must now die in this land just like I was destined to, as my mission for the Lord of Light is complete!

Uh you just took off your magic necklace and died that's free will not destiny. Your god is a cunt.
 

Agree

I've never read the books or much cared beyond mindless entertainment but this nails it for even a casual fan

The White Walkers. What are they? What do they want? Why do they want to kill us? Why do they want Craster’s sons? What happened to them for 8000 years? Are they controlling the seasons? Why did they return now? Do they have a right to exist? Is peaceful coexistence possible?

Some of these questions have been answered in legends in the books I thought.

During the war with the First Men the Children of the Forest created the White Walkers with magic and shit to help them beat the men. But they couldn't control them, so they joined forces with men to push the Walkers back and then Bran the Builder built the Wall and shit. They have come back a few times in legend but only during super long winters and they want to kill all humans and everything else. That's all I remember and I am not sure if any of that is correct or just drugs.
 
This guy perfectly sums up my unbridled rage about last week's abomination of an episode

Thank you for sharing. I took one quarter of military history at UW so I knew enough about attack tactics/defensive fortifications to cringe at good guys’ battle plan...I can only imagine how painful it must’ve been for current/former professional armed forces personnel (TYFYS).

Having a calvary charge at night was absurd, but I just assumed everybody hated the Dothraki and so it was an addition by subtraction racism kind of move.
 
Comparing this last episode against the Battle of the Bastards one is a perfect example of how this show went to shit.

Can't wait for new episode tonight.

I mean they were useful to help win you the war....but you don't want those fuckers chillin in westeros
 
The first half of this episode felt like fan-fiction. Jamie and Brienne of Tarth sleeping together? Gendry legitimized and made lord of Storms End...then proposing to Arya? OK!

Of course Jon told his sisters about being the true heir to the throne. He’s the poster child of being honorable to a fault. You know who else had that as their defining attribute? Ned Stark. How did that work out for him? Remember, Melisandre isn’t around to bring you back from the dead anymore. And fuck you for sending Ghost to a farm upstate[/s] up North to live with the Wildlings. CGI budget that tight HBO?

I miss the old Tyrion.

I miss old Bronn too for that matter. I like to think he’s not that stupid to believe he’d be made lord of Highgarden.

Thank you Varys for not only seeing Dany is probably no longer the horse you want to back, but for finally vocalizing aloud she’s Jon Snow’s aunt!

Atta girl Missandei for going out like a boss though.

Missandei should of wrapped her chains around Cersei and hopped off the platform. Sansa thought about pushing Joffrey off in season 2, but the writing has gone to shit since then
 
Well guys... while skimming through the posts of this thread, you have completely sapped me of any desire to watch this series anymore. I was one episode into season 7.
 
Another bullshit episode from the writers that can't wait to just phone in this show and end the fucking thing already.

That Iron Born v Dragon scene was particularly awful. Three straight hits with a ballista against a dragon flying at 100 mph from presumably a mile away. But then after that absurd display of accuracy, the remaining 20 shots all miss with the dragon flying directly toward the fleet. I'll suppress the book nerd side of me that's also pissed that the books specifically mentioned that dragon scales are too hard to penetrate with ballistas.

And fucking Christ, has Dany's army heard of scouts, or at least not bunching up all 20 of her ships so their vulnerable to getting obliterated in literal seconds? The writers have turned Dany's army into literal retards in order to move the plot along to what's bound to be its underwhelming conclusion.

Just euthanize this fucking show already.
