"Bad, Internet! Bad!"
Normally, I'd be with you in my irritation for book readers coming here and doing that condescending thing where they try to "guide" us lowly newbies along like wise, GoT Sherpas. Nobody needs to be told how to watch the show or spoiled on what comes next by people who have an entire review comment section to…
Ha! I'd like to see that complaint get rectified!
Why couldn't the old master just employ his former slave butler as a live-in nanny or something? You know, with contractually bound terms of payment and working conditions and whatnot.
I'm still trying to remember what Thoros and Beric did to her to earn a spot on the hit list. Maybe she needs to be a little more discerning about who gets on it?
Tommen is just a boy who will have to deal with serious threats to the legitimacy of his claim to the throne, as well.
Don't forget the implication that The Mountain is going to pull through, stronger and more fucked up than ever.
I've got to agree with the slightly lower grade here. As far as season finales go, it was a shade anti-climactic. I understand that this show likes to put its big, important developments in the eighth or ninth episodes and use the 10th as a dénouement of sorts, but not a lot was really set up for next year.
That's like the fucking definition of spoiling things. Is it that hard to stick to THE PAGE SPECIFICALLY CREATED FOR YOU?
At this point, I'll take any personal, moral victories for our remaining few heroes wherever I can get them. Such is the bleak, empty, nihilistic existence of this entire realm. We're reduced to seeing "survived against the odds for one night" as a cheer-worthy victory.
I kept wondering what would happen if those giants got through the castle and just a few of them (let alone the 100k army) started rampaging through the countryside.
This makes me wonder: could white walkers take out those giants? I mean, I have no idea what their numbers or abilities are, but the Wildlings seem to be a fairly formidable army. Give them some of that dragon stone or whatever for killing white walkers and they could just dig in and fight them rather than marching…
I imagine a lot like John Cleese's valiant-to-a-fault Lancelot. His scene where he massacres an entire wedding just to fulfill his noble purpose is still the best, most under-appreciated moment in an oft-quoted/referenced film.
In my neurotic, can't-just-enjoy-something-without-over-thinking-it brain, I did wonder how they managed to construct that giant, swinging anchor. Like, arc welding hasn't been invented yet, right?
It truly is amazing to me to think of how many major characters have been killed off - characters who looked like they'd play a major role in the story for years - and yet some people still cry, "MORE TROPE SUBVERSION!" It's like they won't rest until every single one of our heroes is mutilated and the Iron Throne is…
I couldn't disagree more with the reviewer here whining about how "GRRM DIDN'T SUBVERT ENOUGH TROPES HERE, wah wah wah, Jon Snow and Sam are boring… Why do they get special plot armor?"
I think bad-ass remark of the night is Jon's, however: "Aye. You should have," after Tormund tells him he should have thrown him off the wall when he had the chance.
Moderators hate him!
Mojo! What did they do to you?
