I sooooo hope they kill off Daenerys (the more unceremoniously the better).  All those SJW's seeing their SJW queen die would be a silver lining to Dumb and Dumber turning what was once one of the greatest dramas of all time into a "turn off your brain and look at the pretty colors" shitshow.



Edit: even better would be if they had Arya do it.

Ok maybe Im just trying to come to terms with the ending but what if it went down like this, same but different lol -

Jon gets past Viserion, tries to enter the Godswood, but of course the White Walkers wont let him get anywhere close to the Night King. Jon engages the WWs, maybe killing a couple during the scene, as well as unknowingly distracting them so Ayra getting by is more believable. Jon is fighting to get to Bran but he is not going to make in time. Jons character is not completely wasted

The Night King has strolled up close to Bran. Theon defending him yells, does a short charge, thrusts with his weapon, NK side steps, breaks his weapon and stabs him. Same death but without the ridiculous charge across the Godswood. NK steps past him to Bran, Theon lays dying slightly behind the NK looking up a him, his vision slowly fading as he dies. NK is at Bran now, and not completely surrounded by White Walkers. Maybe just one or two are shown back behind him and Theon.

Arya does the same leap, NK turns and catches her by the neck midair. Instantly Arya tenses up, her skin starts going pale and her eyes start turning blue. She drops the dagger into her other hand starts to thrust it toward NK.. but her thrust moves slowly, too slowly. The dagger slowly stops an inch away from the NK. We are on the edge of our seats. Is there enough Ayra inside left to stab him? Nope, holy fuck NK has turned Arya.  NK is winning and killed Arya in the process.

NK is holding Arya, her eyes turning fully blue, the dagger stopped almost touching the NK, Jon sees her being turned and screams, Theon laying on the ground bleeding out, vision blurred, see this happening almost above him. With all the life he has left and with all his might, Theon instantly arches his back up off the ground and kicks Aryas dagger holding hand, plunging the dagger into NK. The NK and WW fall to the ground and slowly crack away. Arya either falls to the ground and cracks away as well or her skin cracks up but her body is still there and we have a burial next episode.

Arya still mostly gets the kill without besting the Night King, Jon has purpose, Theon is redeemed and his attack is more realistic, and we lost a loved character in Arya which makes the episode more meaningful. Fin

Jon is still standing in front of Viserion when the Night King is killed.  Viserion collapses in front of him.

Pretty much everything you have said in this thread I 100% agree with. I am completely on board with killing her off or at the very least her being completely humiliated and turning into the beggar queen that she is.

The writers turned my favorite character, Ser Jorah, into a joke. A cuck who is meme material. He died because his plate armor turned to paper mache and his plot armor disappeared because they writers had to show Kelly C being sad and losing something important to her.

Fuckin’ A.

It feels like we just watched the Super Bowl (a shitty one) and are now getting ready for the Pro Bowl.

This would have been perfect! Imagine Viserion looks over the rock to sniff out JS and he thrusts his sword into its jaw. Then the rest of your version works without a hitch.

A bunch of reviewers are still pissed off and posting more videos bitching since last weekend

Damn, cool idea lol

Kit Harrington claims this Sunday’s episode is “so Shakespearean.”

I suspect he means the themes because if he means the quality:

Maybe Arya will kill the hound because she gets a flashback of the hound doing some rotten to her family that we don’t know of because fuck it...why not.

Does that mean Jon is going to lop off Danys head or Tyrion is going to thump her with a crossbow?

Dany and Jon flirt like teenagers and commit suicide together to profess their incest love.

Hmmm...

It’s probably the plot to a midsummers night dream with got characters.

....

That was fucking perfect.

I bet Tyrion betrays Dany and possibly messes up Sansa in the process. They have been telegraphing something like that for a while.

It's LOTR all over again. We just watched Aragon barely win at the gates of Mordor. The book is effectively done, but now we have to read about the scouring of the Shire.

really.

Here's the problem, most people keep trying to rewrite a piece of fiction, that's not their own.  It's just a story, but it's their story.   The episodes Imdb and Rotten Tomato audience ratings are both pretty high, so they must have done something right.

Now, if you're a writer and think you have a concept to sell, write it down, and sell it.

That's what GMMR did (or his agent)  He took concepts from JRRT (did he rip off the initial pattern too?) added in some twisted politics, corruption, depraved morality and porn, and the dude has made around $25 million a year since 2011.   ....damn.

It's really not bad for ripping off other works of fantasy, putting it in a literary salad bowl and tossing it around a bit.

People are mad about the ending, but not most people.  Both Imdb and Rotten Tomatoes audience ratings are pretty respectable.  So the writers and directors hit the target.  We can bitch about it, we can whine and moan about it, but we can't change it.  It is what it is.

Filthy console casuals

There are better writers in my opinion too.  But they will never be wealthy from their works.  They'll never get a movie or streaming contract, and they'll never sell millions of copies of their books.

It's the way the world is.

With all the reaction videos from Last week I'm wondering how many reaction videos there will produced This Sunday night. With all the noise and hubbub from last week I believe that there number of videos would have at least doubled if they had an inkling how it turned out, bad tactics or not.

AGAIN, too many people survived this battle for the North not to win. THIS IS MY PROBLEM WITH THE PLOT! Bran is literally a GOD! He sees the past and he sees the future. With his precognition, and Arya’s faceless ability, there is no way the North loses. Dany goes mad queen and starts killing characters? Then why doesn’t Bran warn anybody? Golden Company surprises them somewhere. Why doesn’t Bran warn anybody? Any Stark dies... WHY DOESN’T BRAN WARN THEM!

Bran is God. People bow to him at his trees and prey to him. Be prepared people, because the writers are giving us Deus EX Machinas out the ass these final 3 episodes. It’s going to be horrendous.

I don't expect this weeks episode to be that dramatic.  Since they've chosen to make Cersei the final boss instead of the Night King, they're going to have to go through another level or two before they get to Cersei.

So, this week's episode is going to be more like episode 1 and 2.

They might speed it up a bit, and kill the final boss sooner.  That way they can save the last episode for long goodbys before they put Frodo, Bilbo, and the other Ring Bearers on the ship to Old Valyria.  But who knows.

I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

bran can see the future?

I would not use Rotton Tomatoes as an argument for anything. They've been know to adjust scores quite often.

If you do use it you can see the score dropping with every episode this season.

We have been shown that the 3ER can see the future. Old man raven was waiting patiently in his tree for him. Knew of the battles to come. Wheels was waiting for his friend Jamie so... until told otherwise, how can he not see the future?

That is a very good prediction, but I think Jon will kill Dany, and that is where the "bittersweet" aspect will be derived from.

I think Jon will kill Dany (because she goes Mad King) and sits on the Iron Throne, Arya dies at the hands of the Mountain, the Hound kills the Mountain, Jamie kills Cercei or perhaps Brienne does because Cercei kills Jamie, Yara returns to King's Landing to kill Euron, and Sansa and Tyrion rule the North.

Seriously? The scores for episode 3 are the 2nd lowest for the entire series...

What you pointed it was 100% logical, and makes sense, and probably is backed up in the books.
But quick, state now, and with 100% certainty, did Melisandre have powers or not?
We can't.

This show has a propensity to go, "JK LOL ON ALL YOUR PAYING ATTENTION BULLSHIT!", "she doesn't have powers, she does have powers, also she can see the future, but she couldn't."
What you pointed out happened, makes sense, but might literally have been nothing.
Welcome to the awesome inconsistency and the rewards of "subverting expectations".
Now we don't know what's a meaningful storyline they built for us, where our paying attention will be rewarded for later with a payoff - and "HA! GOT YOU!" stuff.

Yuuuup.
couldn't run beast mode though. Why win when you can do something unexpected!!!!!1!1one


I still like this show, I will be watching - but I do think after what they pulled?
It's a slot below LOTR for me now.

I hope Jamie doesn’t kill Cersei. That would be unoriginal and boring.
It would be much better if the mountain killed Cersei. Totally unpredictable and the writers could say they were planning it for 7 seasons.

Sansa is going to kill Cersei because, duh.
And then,

He's OBVIOUSLY talking about Bronn.
Bronn will kill the mountain.
Bronn talked about not fighting the mountain, so he's going to fight the mountain and win decisively and without drama - just like GRRM obviously intended.
You're a dope if you think the Hound was going to fight the mountain, that's a silly fan theory.

This guy does for GoT what auralnauts did for Star Wars ep 1 with Jedi Party

Ignore the stupid pic used, it's actually pretty well done and funny.

Not really, there have been lower ranked episodes of GOT.  You can check it yourself.  But that aside, it's current audience rank is 8.7 on Imdb  and the last watch audience liked it rating is 78% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Of course that doesn't (or shouldn't) matter to you, if you didn't like it.  Liking something isn't based on a democratic vote, neither is disliking something.  It's not a team sport.  We're not going change our subjective opinions based on some overall collectivist opinion.  There is no "winning or losing" here.

The simple truth is most viewers liked it, or were at least ok with the episode.

He can see the present.

Q: How do you know Jaime is coming, Bran?

A: He's an hour away on the Kingsroad as we speak.

Q: Old Raven, how do you know Bran is coming?

A: There are literally no human beings in this part of the world, right now three of them are walking towards my tree.

Q: What about the battles to come?

A: We've fought in the past several times, for the last few years the NK has been actively preparing for war just as he did back then.

You don't need to literally see the future if you can check up on people's status in real-time.

Bran is a rolling spoiler alert that only speaks when the writers need him too.

Bran could have easily coordinated the decimation of the night Kong’s Army with two dragons...even with the AA support by the NK.

The S2 is on a P3, so the 'warriors' in the S3 shop don't listen to him. Intel doesn't drive Ops in Westeros, it sits in the courtyard waiting for the 4 to finally get those ramps built.

with this i have to disagree. better writers than GRRM who will never sell millions of books?

give me a break. ive been reading SF & fantasy, plus historical books on the rise of the british empire, the civil war, napoleon, ghengis khan, for a very very long time. martin is tier one, there are few that are as good as him but if they are, they do sell millions of books. their stuff may not make to the big or little screen or be streamed and their are lots of reasons for this, one being the cost and therefore the risk of taking a series of books and converting them into something that makes a profit. best current example of that is pierce brown's red rising series. one of the best SF set of books to come out in a long time, and an equal to martin's stuff very difficult to turn into a movie or stream. the movie rights were sold and then some projects canceled and currently there is some discussion of making a streaming product. another author, joe abercrombie is at least as good as martin, he has sold millions but at least so far, no movie or stream, though his shattered sea series would be a killer project for someone like HBO.

that type of writing can turn into billions? a series written for 'young adults' with 3 or more books. think harry potter and the hunger games. and though those authors are good, they are not as good as martin, but their products are perfect vehicles for movies or streams.

i recognize all the flaws in GOT, especially since the showrunners ran beyond martins books. but you know what? i dont give a fuck. the show is great and when its gone, its unlikely that something of its caliber will be seen again on the small screen because the push now is for quantity to stream and do battle with netfix and amazon and others.

there are flaws in everything. for GOT, for most folks, the flaws mean little or nothing because the story is interesting, the characters are interesting and the quality to put it all together is tier one.

for those who cannot deal with the flaws, perhaps you should simply stop watching it as it apparently puts your bowels in an uproar, and rustles your jimmies.

You should have seen her nude, she had sweet tits!

Kind of expected.  They just finished getting decimated due to their incompetent defense so now they have to marshal whatever's left, figure out who's staying, who's going, finding out what's going on in the rest of Westeros, and much drama before they head south.

I wonder if any of the freefolk left will head south?

Wasn't the endgame.  If he'd killed Bran and defeated a huge army equipped with VS and dragonglass, the end of Man would have been pretty much guaranteed.

Thank you for taking the time to articulate your opinion.

See that's what makes these kinds of threads so fun.  We're talking about our subjective opinions like it matters to anyone else.
My opinion is not your opinion.  We don't have agree to like the same things.  

Incidentally, I'm okay with GOT.  I'm still enjoying GOT, and I'm enjoying this thread about GOT.
