Dunno, but in the GOT/ASOIAF universe the seasons don’t happen regularly in Westeros; it’s heavily implied that winter comes as a result of White Walker activity, even if it doesn’t rise to the level of them invading the realms of the living.

I’m actually disappointed the discussion isn’t just closed, as it is whenever we’re asked to post fantasy football rosters or MM brackets.

It was the first fucking scene in the first episode of the first season. They’ve been laying it out for eight goddamn years, man. 

Oh get fucked. You don’t have some sort of “special understanding” of the show, you just have a pet theory to paper over poor writing. Get the fuck out of here with your smug bullshit.

NO WAY MAN I’M TOTALLY A HUNNERD PERCENT SERIOUS

Letting armies die to own the libs.

The Night King clearly, what with his army of White Walkers. 

If memory serves - and we all now fickle a thing memory is! - the first ten minutes of the first episode of the entire series presented a threat, and then for the next eight years everyone went around explaining how fucking important that threat was. Then, in the third episode of the final six-episode season, the…

Well, the show itself has respectfully disagreed with your opinion for 7.5 years.  

Her decision makes perfect sense!

Tell that to Game of Thrones, which spent its first 7.2 seasons telling us that the characters who believed and acted as though “the stakes at play are the Iron Throne” were deluded fools who were missing the one true war that was staring them in the face—and then spent one episode completely flipping that and…

I think he’s saying that the writing of the show completely undermined the established stakes.

From a technical and spectacle standpoint, i really liked last night’s episode.

Oh come on...I loved the episode, but that still sums it up pretty well. 

What in the actual fuck did I just read? You’ve put way too much effort into something that no one whose opinion should matter to you actually cares about.

Arya is now the Day King, master of karate and friendship for everyone.

None more black.

I actually can’t tell if this is great, right-up-to-the-line sarcasm, or a tiny window into the mind of a deranged soul.  Congratulations, either way.
