Game of Thrones season 8 mega thread

The Lord of Light has sent me on a mission. I will find the Prince who was Promised! It's Stannis!
Uh no it's not.
Well it could've been. But he has led me to Jon Snow, unquestionably the Prince who was Promised! He will slay the Night King!
Uh no he won't.
Forget it, I am here to light the arakhs of the Dothraki on fire to wield against the Night Kings army. That is my purpose!
Uh they got wiped out to a man within seconds.
Nevermind that, my mission is to light the trench on fire where no mortal source of flame will do! The Lord of Light wills it!
Uh they're crossing it anyway. It's literally doing nothing.
Do not blaspheme! The Lord of Light guides us all. My mission is clearly to give a pep talk to a teenager who will kill the Night King just as I always knew she would! I saw it in the flames!
Uh it sounds like you're just trying to get something to stick now.
My mission is complete! I must now die in this land just like I was destined to, as my mission for the Lord of Light is complete!
Uh you just took off your magic necklace and died that's free will not destiny. Your god is a cunt. -
Some of these questions have been answered in legends in the books I thought.Gladstone said:
The White Walkers. What are they? What do they want? Why do they want to kill us? Why do they want Craster’s sons? What happened to them for 8000 years? Are they controlling the seasons? Why did they return now? Do they have a right to exist? Is peaceful coexistence possible?RaceBannon said:

Sums it up really well imo:

I've never read the books or much cared beyond mindless entertainment but this nails it for even a casual fan
During the war with the First Men the Children of the Forest created the White Walkers with magic and shit to help them beat the men. But they couldn't control them, so they joined forces with men to push the Walkers back and then Bran the Builder built the Wall and shit. They have come back a few times in legend but only during super long winters and they want to kill all humans and everything else. That's all I remember and I am not sure if any of that is correct or just drugs. -
So can Bran just warg into Cersei and have her jump off a cliff or what? Seems like a pretty simple solution.

This guy perfectly sums up my unbridled rage about last week's abomination of an episode

Thank you for sharing. I took one quarter of military history at UW so I knew enough about attack tactics/defensive fortifications to cringe at good guys’ battle plan...I can only imagine how painful it must’ve been for current/former professional armed forces personnel (TYFYS).GreenRiverGatorz said:This guy perfectly sums up my unbridled rage about last week's abomination of an episode

Having a calvary charge at night was absurd, but I just assumed everybody hated the Dothraki and so it was an addition by subtraction racism kind of move.Doog_de_Jour said:

The Dothraki haven't been the same since Aquaman died

Comparing this last episode against the Battle of the Bastards one is a perfect example of how this show went to shit.
Can't wait for new episode tonight. -
I mean they were useful to help win you the war....but you don't want those fuckers chillin in westerosSwaye said:

Man sex scene number 2 I didn't want to see
-
The first half of this episode felt like fan-fiction. Jamie and Brienne of Tarth sleeping together? Gendry legitimized and made lord of Storms End...then proposing to Arya? OK!
Of course Jon told his sisters about being the true heir to the throne. He’s the poster child of being honorable to a fault. You know who else had that as their defining attribute? Ned Stark. How did that work out for him? Remember, Melisandre isn’t around to bring you back from the dead anymore. And fuck you for sending Ghostto a farm upstateup North to live with the Wildlings. CGI budget that tight HBO?
I miss the old Tyrion.
I miss old Bronn too for that matter. I like to think he’s not that stupid to believe he’d be made lord of Highgarden.
Thank you Varys for not only seeing Dany is probably no longer the horse you want to back, but for finally vocalizing aloud she’s Jon Snow’s aunt!
Atta girl Missandei for going out like a boss though.

Missandei should of wrapped her chains around Cersei and hopped off the platform. Sansa thought about pushing Joffrey off in season 2, but the writing has gone to shit since thenDoog_de_Jour said:The first half of this episode felt like fan-fiction.

Well guys... while skimming through the posts of this thread, you have completely sapped me of any desire to watch this series anymore. I was one episode into season 7.

Another bullshit episode from the writers that can't wait to just phone in this show and end the fucking thing already.
That Iron Born v Dragon scene was particularly awful. Three straight hits with a ballista against a dragon flying at 100 mph from presumably a mile away. But then after that absurd display of accuracy, the remaining 20 shots all miss with the dragon flying directly toward the fleet. I'll suppress the book nerd side of me that's also pissed that the books specifically mentioned that dragon scales are too hard to penetrate with ballistas.
And fucking Christ, has Dany's army heard of scouts, or at least not bunching up all 20 of her ships so their vulnerable to getting obliterated in literal seconds? The writers have turned Dany's army into literal retards in order to move the plot along to what's bound to be its underwhelming conclusion.
Just euthanize this fucking show already. -
Last week's episode was pretty solid without picking about some of the dumbfuck moves...lots of carnage and dying and shit. But this week's episode was ca-ca. Shit. Poo.

Ain't no way the Kingslayer is bedding down Brianne of Tarth. Not gonna happen. Dude nails no less than 8's. Maybe a 7 if really really really drunk. Would have been way better to have the midget Tyrion and the giant Brianne hooking up. That's believable. Or maybe Arya and the Kingslayer rolling around after some grog - pretty sure her maiden voyage was less than satisfying and Jaimie knows his way around the magic triangle. Ice Kingslayer and the Kingslayer could pop out some nasty assassin babies, too.
And the fuck with the head-on charge by the dragons? All they fucking needed to do was swoop around and attack from the rear (life tip there for those paying attention). Just send all those fucking ships up in flames. No, instead Danny does a full-frontal raid and loses one of the only remaining decent parts of the show. Dumb bitch.
There's also only like, what, 3 episodes left. When is Sansa going to bust out the perkies and lock up the Iron Throne. And, quite frankly, who's left for her to hook up with in an alliance? Danny's already fucking her own nephew so is it that big of stretch to think Sansa may bust out one of Cersai's tricks and enchant Jon Snow with a trip down the Hershey Highway incest-style?!?
So much disappointment this season. Shit.

HA! I turned to my wife and was like, "Uh... this is weird, but... this isn't a sex scene I want to watch. I really don't want to see this guy climb that man/woman mountain thing."Pitchfork51 said:Man sex scene number 2 I didn't want to see
Just like HH gets off most on the Huskies sucking, I'm finding I'm paying a lot more attention to this show the more cravenly it blows goats. I didn't even try catching up on my web goofing off while the wife watched last night. Nope, I watched the whole damned thing, as pointing out everything that was fucking stupid was way more entertaining than this hellhole. One of my favorites was exactly what you pointed out: "So they go 4/4 from a mile away, of course right into the dragon that Blondie's NOT on, and none of the other boats shoot at the other dragon at the same time? Then she flies right to point blank range, and they all suddenly shoot at once and miss? What the shit?"GreenRiverGatorz said:Another bullshit episode from the writers that can't wait to just phone in this show and end the fucking thing already.

"And, flying way up in the sky, how was she not able to see a giant fleet of ships behind a tiny little island?"
"And why wouldn't she just fly around behind the fleet, faster than they could turn those huge turrets, and roast them from behind?"
"Wait... whaaaat? Balless guy's girlfriend escapes in the dinghy, ten seconds later, the boats are destroyed and what's left of the army (read: any prominent character) are all in the water, and she's just mysteriously captured by the bad guys? How the fuck? Why wouldn't she be like 30 feet from all the people in the water, probably trying to pick as many up as possible and loading them into the dinghy? Who the hell captured her, and how did they get there to do so? And why wouldn't they just pick off the rest of the survivors like fish in a barrel while they were there? And... oh, just fuck it."
"So those huge crossbows that were able to hit a moving dragon from like a mile away are lining the castle walls. The dragon is just sitting there on the ground a couple hundred yards from the castle. Killing that dragon wins the war. Probably best to just not shoot at it..."
"And you have a hundred archers lining your castle wall, their army is in tight formation (sitting ducks) right there in range, you've just cut the chick's head off and (re)declared war, so why not follow that with a volley of arrows?"
"Why doesn't she just fly the dragon over on the next moonless night, burn the fuck out of the whole opposing naval fleet, then burn the fuck out of every giant crossbow on the tower walls, then burn the fuck out of the palace in the middle of the castle, where Cercei is staying, then call it a day? I mean, really, why even bring the army along at all? It's clear a pair of dragons is as good as an army if you have the element of surprise, so why not just fly in one night and fuck the whole place up and THEN bring in your army?" -
Fine. But you must not be enjoying it enough to finish on your own accord, because I know there is no way in hell you'd let the opinions of the nega pekkkerwoods of this place affect your decision.DerekJohnson said:Well guys... while skimming through the posts of this thread, you have completely sapped me of any desire to watch this series anymore.

Easy explanation: Starbucks is everywhere, even Winterfell

Worst episode of the season. They whole Jaime/Brienne thing feels like a forced flaming pile of fan service. Love the laziness of killing another dragon to level the playing field... what the fuck was that shit? "Hey uhhhhhhhh we need to level the playing field can't have 2 dragons in the final fight. Lets just zip a couple of giant arrows at one from the ocean while they are flying then completely miss the other one in a dramatic effect by shooting 20 at once." awful.
The dragons were one of the coolest parts of the show that intrigued me. Drogon fucking shit up in season 7 was great and exactly how the dragons should be. Super oppressive because what the flying fuck are you going to do against a dragon? Ever since then such bullshit. First it was the Night Kings hail mary Hawkeye shot and fortunately the white walkers have 500 miles of gigantic chains ready to pull up a 4 billion ton dragon from the bottom of the sea. Next you have the 2 remaining dragons being completely underutilized in the battle of Winterfell because??????? Oh yea we want to make this shit super dramatic like sending the Dathraki on a suicide mission before. Then a metrosexual pirate puts in his Game Genie and activates the 100% accuracy cheat code... but only for 20 seconds because they other dragon needs to live!!1
I don't care at all about this Dany/Jon Aladdin incest storyline. It's so fucking stupid at this point. It's just in their for 16 year old girls at this point.
I knew this episode was going to be a set up for the final battle, but I was hoping to get some of the glaring questions answered from last episode and the ones before that. Specifically more shit about the White Walkers. I was hoping the Bran/Night King WWE staredown there was some sort of communication involved about everything since him and Bran were connected in some unexplainable way for awhile.

D&D obviously haven't a fucking clue what to do with Bran. He's pretty much the arbiter of all information and he's done jack shit the entire show. They've ruined any chance at making him meaningful.CuntWaffle said:Worst episode of the season. They whole Jaime/Brienne thing feels like a forced flaming pile of fan service.
