I think my problem with the TVhite Walkers is that we somehow know both too much about them yet not enough. Hardhome totally worked because of how the army suddenly showed up and overwhelmed everyone. But I wonder if the Others lost something the moment the Night King walked along that bridge. Since then, they’ve lost…

If your account isn’t followed by a writers/blog on Kinja (and you haven’t done the AV Club account transfer thing), you’ll show up under “Pending” and your comment will be grey. Unless someone clicks on the “Pending” option at the top (Or uses the Chrome-add on), they won’t see your comment. Someone who is already…

Before this season started, I figured they’d use Wise as a BOB-stand in. I’m glad with the route they’ve gone instead, but I do hope Wise pops up once more at least.

As is trying to murder her son and start their war with the Lannisters.

Last night, Sansa also accused him of sending the assassin to murder Bran, which would be a pretty big betrayal imo.

It’s so bizarre that Bran’s mark hasn’t even been mentioned since then. I figured the NK would be able to burn down the Wall because Bran’s mark dispelled the magic or something, but nah.

It’s weird that they played the “faces” convo out like that in a closed room, though. It’d make more sense if it was somewhere that LF could have actually seen them.

I have to believe that if GRRM ever ends the books, Jon’s death/resurrection will change him in a way that at least cuts back on his dumbass decisions.

He’s doing amazing, sweetie.

I don’t see the Dragon Wight burning down the Wall happening at all. On the “Inside the Episode” bit, D&D mention that the dragon being how the wall comes down felt like a “natural” thing to do and place for the story to go. It sounds very much like their own invention, similar to how they described the rationale…

I refuse to merge goddammit.

Ah shit, I am!

I wonder if I’m grey here.

Oh, it totally is. Like, it took until last episode for either of them to even hint at what they’ve done/been through since last seeing each other but Arya should have been back at weeks by this point. You think one of the first things you’d want to do with your sibling when you saw them for the first time after many…

The Tyrion/Jaime one felt so flat for brothers whose last time together resulted in one of them murdering their father. Like they tried to address it, but thirty seconds is enough time for that, especially when so much of the narrative has hinged on Tyrion’s decision there.

It is atomically dumb. Like I’m sure it’ll be a cool fight scene, but how anyone could think it is a good idea is honestly baffling to me.

I think there’s def a break between show and books here, whereas the former is all about how much Jon doesn’t want to be a king/leader and the books, while they have a strain of Jon resenting this responsibility, are very much about Jon learning different forms of leadership, culminating in his plotline in Dance of…

Yup. My bet is that there is absolutely something in those scrolls that verifies Jon’s lineage.

I had a tweet (v surprisingly) go low-level viral (like 5k RTs?) like two days ago and made the mistake of not knowing how to mute it until I had to embarrassingly ask someone.
