Thank you reposting that. I almost forgot how stupid it was the first time I read it.

That's pretty close to what I was thinking before. It makes a ton of sense, to anyone with a semblance of military strategy. It's the old "hammer and anvil".  The anvil slows / delays progress of the horde. The Hammer smashes them.
You need to condense them as much as possible, and slow them down. Then use mass-casualty weapons like trebuchets and dragon fire to cause as much damage as possible.

It may be possible to straight up win the fight this way. Would that have made for a boring battle?

If it wasn't for their newfound fast travel abilities it would take another whole season just to get to KL

she fucked up though and has to pay the price.  she gets a succesful sneak and an undetected air jordan jump at the nk, and screams on the dismount! really !
typical woman, couldnt keep her trap shut for anorher 0.87 seconds.

You come up with that all by yourself?

It’s probably not all that far off from what two SJW cucks writing this mess would do if they thought they could get away with it.

There have been articles.

That was a good one.

That post was based on careful observation, as well as conjecture. You can disagree with it, even poke holes in it.  But you went another route.

I think I understand.

This is how comments get distorted in GD threads.  This was my post:

That comment has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not people are correct in their opinion about not liking GOT, or anything else.

.

I think someone should be bann'd for posting highlights in PINK...just sayin.

I think a lot of people expected that before this season started. It still makes sense, but with Arya killing the night king, it seems to put a bit of a damper on that situation.
----------------
What if- cleganebowl does happen
And the reason is, it's a trial by combat. The Hound is (someones) champion, the Mountain is Cersei's champion.

I am pretty damn sure Cleganebowl WILL happen, because it's fan service, and that seems to be a popular thing.
----------------
I guess one fun thing about the show, we have no idea who will sit the iron throne.

I put the odds at:

Dany 3:1
Jon   4:1
Sansa 5:1
Cersei 8:1
Arya  9:1
Jamie 10:1
Gendry 15:1
Tyrion 16:1
Samwell 50:1
Varys 100:1
Ser Bronn 120:1

Neva ben dun befo

You forgot Gendry. I would at least place him even with Jamie.

I also forgot Arya, who probably has a decent shot.

ALTHOUGH NARRATIVELY IT MAKES NO SENSE

Who's worse, Dany or Sansa?

Lol.

Personally I think it's time for Westeros to try a Great Experiment and create a Constitutional Republic.

Vegas odds:

Jon Snow 9/5

Sansa Stark 9/4

Daenarys Targaryen 5/1

Bran Stark 5/1

Gendry 5/1

Tyrion Lannister 5/1

Arya Stark 8/1

Cersei Lannister 10/1

Samwell Tarly 12/1

Jaime Lannister 40/1

Davos Seaworth 60/1

I wonder.   Once Theon was reunited with his sister, did she give him the box she was sent earlier?

I wonder how that conversation went.  Well, I mean above what we got in the show.

"Yeah, here's the box with your penis.  Uh, enjoy?"

Oh well.  At least he found his balls in the end.

It was based pure conjecture. I watched the episode, that’s why I said your “observation” was stupid. Maybe I take a bunch on dopamine hits and watch it again on your level.

Last season while Dany was getting her Joffrey-lite on going off "I AM THE QUEEN, BEND THE KNEE" Sansa was worried about how they were going to feed everyone.

At this point I want to see everybody live happily ever after.  Jon and Dany get married and take the Iron throne.  Tormund and Brieanne get married and have giant babies.  Jaime gets to kill Cersei. Hound gets to kill Mountain. Greyworm and Milesande go back to Narth. Sam invents an 'attachment' to help Varys and whatever Unsullied are left.

All the loose threads are wrapped up and everybody is going to live happily ever after.....................

...............and then the Red Comet from the beginning of season 2 swings around the sun and comes hurtling into the planet and kills everybody and everything.

The End.

Has anyone posted this yet?

BTW a world where there are magical weapons that kill bad guys and make them explode?
That world?
Yeah prophesies, that's the silly part.

THIS!

Well if it makes sense we shouldn't expect it.
When we don't expect something, it therefore immediately makes it good too because the storyline presented to us by the writers doesn't suggest that would happen it wasn't obvious.
Duh.

Is it plausible?  If not can you explain why not?

LOL WOW. THANK YOU! Such bad and lazy writing...fans deserved better.

Fuckin’ A.

One of the comments (not mine):

20 Questions to anyone who thought this was a great episode....

1. If The Night King knew where Bran was, why didn't he just fly over to him with Vicerion and burn Bran, the Greyjoys and the weir wood tree all where they stood.  There wasn't a damn thing anyone could do to stop him.

2.  Since when does the CALVARY go first?  Why were they not using the Trebuchets and archers first, like every single battle in the history of the world?

3. Why was Ghost with Jorah and the Dothraki?  He doesn't know them.  Why wasn't he with Sansa Stark in the crypts?

4. Why didn't they use the same strategy on the wight army that they did against the Lannisters by using Dragons to pave a path through and Dothraki penetrating to finish off?

5. What was the point of the Trebuchets and Catapults?

6. Jorah was on the front line of Dothraki, so how exactly did he survive and the 50 lines of Dothraki behind him didn't?

7. Why did they cast World World Z zombies in place of the Wights?  If the Wights could move that fast, why didn't they do so as soon as the Wall went down last season?

8. So are we going to ignore 40 thousand Dothraki (special forces) die in 40 secs, but Sam (Librarian) survives over 40 mins in an open courtyard even after being dog piled by same wights?

9. Why was Sam outside fighting anyway?  Didn't he promise to never leave Gilly alone again?  He easily could have been heroic protecting the ppl in the crypt against the resurrected Starks.

10. Where the hell did Jorah come from to save Dany?  Remember he was on the other side of the wights.  Dany used Drogon to clear a path for Jon to get through.  She didn't do that for Jorah, so how'd he get there?

11: I love Davos, but he said he's no use with a sword... so How did he survive?

12. Why were the wights so slow in the Stark Library scene with Arya?  They were running like World War Z zombies previously, so why wouldn't they just run through that Library destroying everything in their Path?  Why the delicate movements?

13. As Badass as Lyanna Mormont's death was... why exactly did the wight Giant hold her that close to his eye?  Her arms were too short to be able to reach him if he just held her up.  Was he near sighted?  Even better, do wight's even care?

14. Why did the Night King smile?  Since when did he have emotions?  Wouldn't he have smiled back in HARDHOME as well?  Imagine a SNAKE or Crocodile smiling.  Silly isn't it?

15. How was Jon able to survive Vicerion's flame hiding behind a short wall and small pile of rumble?  Remember Vicerion just took down half of Winterfell's exterior walls and he was the one that to out THE GREAT WALL.

16.  What was the point of the WHITE WALKERS?

17. Why didn't Arya turn into a White Walker when the Night King grabbed her flesh?

18. Where did Arya Leap from?  Also why was she screaming on the leap?  Wasn't the whole point to surprise attack?

19.  Why did Jon Yell at Vicerion?  Was he just hoping to die?  It really makes no sense.

20. Why does anyone care about the "Next Battle."  Seriously, there is no need for any more armies, fleets or even Dragons.  They have Arya.  She beat the NK without even wearing a mask, so how does Cersei stand a chance against her with masks?  How hard would it be for Arya to go to King's Landing, get Qyburn's face and then see Ceresi face to face?  Game over, no?

100% original shitposting.  I call it A Game of Clowns.

Now that you guys did your own version, I'm going to Subvert Expectations^TM by making my own version based on yours.

Hunter Killer might have liked your version, but mine is more betterer.

(click the quote tree to see how I ruined what you did made it for TV)

BOOM!

No. That post reached so hard it went beyond laughable, into the realm of undiluted sadness.

At this point, I think maybe no one will sit on the throne.

Check your Melisandre quotes, that's the only way to be sure.

Lol. The books dont even focus on the NK.

The whole theme of the saga is a tale of human interaction and the lengths they will go to protect their family, seize power or claim what they believe is their right. And ultimately, how far they will go, what or who they will sacrifice. Will they sacrifice their own ambitions for something bigger or sacrifice everything else for their ambitions?

The NK may be the existential threat, but he wasn't the big bad. He was the crushing presence of hopelessness, to crack the realm of men and reveal who everyone really is.

The big bad is and always has been the destruction caused by the twisting, warping nature of avarice and naked ambition for ambition's sake; what those turn people into.

It had already given Westeros The Mad King, and it has given it The Mad Queen, Cersei Lannister. Who learned of the hopelessness and saw nothing but a way to clear the board for her own ambition. It twisted her to the point that man who always loved her and the father of her children, was shocked and left her. She was no longer the Cersei he knew and loved. But someone else.

I meant from the NK.

I cant really find anything to fault here. Maybe a quibble about how high she jumped. And it likely wasn't a bucket for the arrows(that was laying on the ground) but the brazier that they were using to light the arrows and roughly 6-8ft behind the NK.(if you check in the vertical shot looking down as we watch the wave of death sweep through)

Another tidbit is the brief cut we get to see some sort of wind rustle the hair of one of the WW's as he slowly turns his head and looks to his right. This is likely when the WW say Ayra, and it took the time of her running the 30-40ft, jumping and on the downward arc before the NK was aware.
As seen in the shot of her over the shoulder of the NK, he didn't realize it until nearly the last second. As far as I can tell, it appears that the NK doesn't have instant sensory input from what he controls.

If he did, he is more than fast enough to turn around and spear Ayra mid-air. He did spear a dragon mid-flight from what looked like at least a 1/4mi away after all.

No, of course he can't. Much like H-K, RustedAce or dkjest. None of them have any valid actual criticism. Literally every single complaint they have can be answered by valid in-universe reasons that are consistent.

They just don't like it. Simple as that.

Watch that last YouTube video, THEN try to defend the episode.
Every part of this episode was fucked.

I really hope they do some kind of "reveal".  If my conjecture is correct about that first shadows that Theon saw were indeed Arya being chased by a few undead, I feel like they will.  If I'm wrong, then probably not.  Who knows, it's just a show.

Can you provide a link?  Which YouTube video.  One of the videos posted in this thread?

You and I share a special bond, I believe we once found out we were arguing with the same woman, Renata.


I was crushed to learn that I was just her Tuesday argument.
She had multiple argueships going at once.
I'll never forget that.
Crushed.

Why does anyone even give a fuck about Cleganebowl? It would have been way cooler to see the Hound or Jaime fight a White Walker. Or for the Mountain to fight a White Walker. Or for a dragon to fight a zombie giant.
