Game of Thrones II

[Aragorn]

Tommen?

Never heard of the f**ker.

Kings landing mate.

Thump.

After having 24 hours to mull over this season, especially the last 2 episodes, this show is seriously in a league of its own. It's ability to captivate and stir emotion is just unequaled. The entire first act of the finale with the destruction of the Sept and Tommen's suicide was just unbelievable.

The music alone leading up to the explosion was epic. Really set the mood and suspenseful, it was perfect

In fact the music for the whole series is something that is underrated. What songs they choose to play in the background during certain scenes kind of gives some hints about what's to come, e.g when Jon executed those other night watch guys a targaryen theme was playing in the background.

im not entirely sure what the books say but judging from the tv show i took it as a confession of truth by jaime.

so jaime was lying to brienne alone in a bath tub to gain sympathy or he was telling the truth. he was pretty convincing to me.

Forgot about this scene.

Man, that was epic.

Jamie is one torn soul - f**king hates to be called Kingslayer.

Had a random thought when I couldn't sleep last night.

Lancel ( i've been calling Loral, Lancel in this thread so far - dammit) followed Pycelle into the allyway.

Obviously Pycelle took a different turn and met his grizzly (and satisfying) end.
We all know what happened to Lancel

Did Qyburn really have enough time to get clear of the blast radius? He would have been mighty close to the Wildfire!

Did we see him at the Queens coronation?

Exactly, at the end of the day he'd still be a bastard if they didn't marry, and it doesn't really make a difference who your parents are when you're a bastard.

Also turns out I was right about Bran going inside the tower

But then why did Joffrey bother sending all those knights off to kill Robert Baratheons bastards when he found out about his parents.

I don't think Lancel following Pycelle, he followed one of the little birds. Pycelle came from his own chambers down to the dungeons of the Red Keep. Different places.

It really is head and shoulders above any other TV show created. The subtleties and attention to character development is out of this world. The way fan allegiances can shift within an episode is insane - in what other show can you cheer for someone in an episode who was responsible for a sweet young girl being burnt at the stake 2 episodes earlier?!

I think I’ve finally figured this show out, Game of Thrones is a metaphor for current events in particular Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW).

The Night’s King is the impending climate change.
Westeros are the squabbling countries too focused on their own agendas to see the impending doom.
The Lannisters are the USA, ignorant, broke, warmongers soon to be ruled by a complete bitch.
The Frey’s are ISIS, immoral, back-stabbing, morons intent on out-killing everyone and everything and who literally eat their own.
The Boltons are the sceptics and deniers who betray, stab, kill and feed anyone to their dogs who disagrees with their bat-shit crazy thinking.
The Starks are Germany trying to fix the world’s problems without realising they’ve got some big issues of their own.
The Sparrows are the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change trying to solve the issue with self-serving rhetoric.
Highgarden are whacked out hippies who think planting roses gives them magic powers to deal with their enemies.
Dorne are feminists who think twats can solve everything.
The Mother of Dragons is Rupert Murdoch, an emotionless, corrupt, inbred child of a family everyone hates who has blood on their hands from the destroyed lives of millions.
The Mormonts are Australians, little smartarses who punch way above their weight in war and telling everyone else how big a f**kwit they really are.
Chook.

Interesting!

Along the same thinking of real world comparisons, does anyone else see the parallels between the Northmen and QLD around SOO time?
- despite being part of a wider country, they really consider themselves to have their own race/identity
- only interested in being around other northmen
- bit of an inferiority complex regarding those to the south.
- Despite having some of the best warriors and winning many battles, the southerners still seem to look down on them with pity
- fail to get with recent times.
- one of their key warriors is technically a southerner anyway
- can be bossed around by a 10 year old girl, if needed
- when the world ends, they will be the first to cop it.

I also like the realisation on the High Sparrow?s face when the penny dropped and he realised Marge was right.

He was blown away just thinking about it.

Literally.

 

[Shorty]

Yeah the music this season was top notch, I still have the closing credits music in my head (think it's winds of winter?).
As for Parra, the Targs are my favorite.
They are not the same as the Frays....the Frays have no political smarts or warrior instincts, theyre basically bottom feeding rats.

I rewatched last night.
Sansa is an interesting wildcard because those looks to little finger were ambiguous.
Is it possible Euron teams up with Cersei?

 

[God-King Dean]

Cercei going all mad-queen, & Jaime killing her (& himself) before she sets King's Landing ablaze is the predictable ending for them - but it's still what I'd like to see happen. Will be tragic as all hell for Jaime.

 

[DB]

It will either be Jaime, or Ayra as Jaime killing her.

Yes, I remember Dany having a vision of walking into the throne room after it had been burnt

And it was full of snow.

Snow.

Snoooooow.

SNOW!

 

[Chook]

End of show plot twist, the Nights King wins the great battle plunging Westeros into a thousand years of winter, think about it, it's very GRR.

Chook.

You know... I have to ask... why did Arya need to hide her face when assassinating Walder Frey? It's not like Walder would have done any different if she hadn't been incognito. There's not many people inside that castle, aside from Jaime, that would recognise her anyway?

Cool scene, though. It was always coming.

Jaime was there as you say, plus the possibility that other Lannister soldiers could recognise her. Unlikely, but why risk it?

Remember last season when there was all that hand-wringing about how the show had supposedly become misogynistic? :lol:

And now we have a female in basically all the positions of power across the whole freakin show.

The Iron Throne won't survive the war. Kings Landing will be a molten ruin.

To be honest I think the show has purposefully pushed the women further front and centre as a reaction to the criticism.
