GoT - warning spoilers

Some of it was a little hurried but overall a good episode.

Certainly seems Dany is being made out to look like the mad Queen like her father was before her. Support for Jon is gathering at pace which is good.

I don't want to see Sansa on the Throne, but hopefully we've got a big battle coming in which Jamie has a decision to make.
 
Another good episode but, as others say, it is all feeling rushed. Such a shame that they have spent so long building characters to then rush to a conclusion. Still not sure how they can tie it all up satisfactorily with so little time left
 
Suitably fried after that episode. Some great snarling at the end and we needed a classic GoT execution, it's been a while.

Agree with the comments about rushing, there needed to be a gap following the great battle, even if they time lapsed it or equivalent.

Yuron annoys me, I'm hoping he gets his comeuppance soon.

1 dragon and half an army. I'm suspecting we will see an army come from nowhere, over the horizon, to save Daenerys next week. Does she have enough without mystery help?
 
Oddschecker has Bran to rule Westeros at 2/5 and shortening. All other contenders odds are drifting.

On checking my bookie WillHill, they have closed it. no more GoT betting.

Do they know something we dont?:whistle:

However Oddschecker still has Littlefinger at 25-1 and Ned Stark at 200-1, Night King at 125-1 :oops:.

Maybe they're just hoping to hook some easy money off clueless punters or they're historic bet patterns.:unsure:
 
I'm ignoring all of that guff. I don't see Bran wanting it, he declined warden of the North last night as 'he wants nothing'. Why would he want the Iron Throne?

I think I need to de-stress over this. After each episode now I am struggling to sleep. I was lying there for hours last night thinking over what happened. My wife tried to make a joke this morning about a rumour and I gave her a death stare I wouldn't normally dare to do. I need the end to come, I'm done in o_O.
 
Yep, enjoyed that episode a lot even though it was played out in many small bits which made it feel a little rushed. Favourite part was seeing the Hound and Arya back together as a double act for the final hours. Low point for me was seeing Tormund depart, I do hope that isn't the last we see of him as he's been a fun character in contrast to all the miserable/morose/depressing ones.

No point criticising or speculating on how the plot plays out now (it's full of ambiguity by design) but am looking forward to it concluding. The only thing I'm hoping is that I think the person sitting on the throne at the end will shock and frustrate us all. After all this, it would be too easy to let the good guys win. :D
 
Thought the sea battle was over a bit too quick and they were incredibly accurate with them big bows against one dragon (without having had any flying moving targets to practice against), but ironically, not the other dragon. Not sure why Danaerys didn't just fly round behind them and burn them up from the rear, since the guns were all point for'd. They were also hugely accurate and destructive against the other ships, and seemed to be able to reload them very large cross bows quicker than a gattling gun.... Also thought Bron had a better relationship with Tyrion and Jamie.

Am still enjoying it, but becoming easier to be picky.

Perhaps it is showing how bloomin difficult it is to tie up 8 series of complicated stories and characters. For the past 7 they could leave ends loose, tie up one as and when. Now everything needs to be taken care of and that is a tough skill to do well and to please us all.

Jimaroid, I hope you are wrong. I know a happy ending goes against everything GoT is about but I need some semblance of decency and calm at the end.
 
"Jon" to have a decision to make to kill Daenerys or not at some stage, is one prediction I'll make. Possibly when she's threatening Sansa or something along those lines.

One of Jaime or Tyrion isn't surviving the series is another.

I Can see all the Lannister house being killed.

Not sure about Jon killing Dany, he’s a bit of a Div lately. Maybe Arya will kill her to save Jon/ put him on the Throne?

All good stuff though, and I know it used to be better but I cannot wait till next week!
 
I’m an avid fan, reader of the books and I have read pretty much all the lore of westeros

But

I Think it’s gone to pot.

That episode was just pure Hollywood guff. The Jamie and Briana stuff was rank.

As was the treaty meeting. Of course you would get the queen and her full entourage, stand them about 500 yards from the same type of ballista that just took out a dragon from 1000 yards and an entire fleet of ships from 2000 yards.

Honestly?

I get the need to have a dramatic ending. However please do not suddenly start forgetting individual storylines just so you can manoeuvre a more (contrived) ending.

The battle of winter fell was absolutely magnificent.

This one was just cheese.

Utter crap.

I call BS because you can’t spell Winterfell, Jaime or Brienne.

Read all the lore, you say?

My iPhone isn’t zapping my ability to spell. Weird, that.
