Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon!

[Shauna]

No. His wife had just died by Carl's hand.

Remind me to never make jokes. :colbert:

[Madame Adequate]

I think she let him live because he said "Do your duty" and she thinks she can use him to save Sansa. I think Mel fled Stannis like a rat from a sinking ship, she saw him lose in the fires and fled. Though I guess the sacrifice of Shireen worked - it cleared the snows after all! - but whether that was her intention I don't know.

What an absolute moron Stannis is though. Half my army is gone? March anyway. Red priestess with the power to see into the future flees? March anyway. And how fucking incompetent do you have to be to not see the castle emptied of a huge cavalry army? That kind of shit is noisy and not difficult to spot, especially if you send scouts like the Boltons evidently did. It's annoying because he's painted as the best military commander in Westeros - Littlefinger even said as much 4 or so episodes ago - and then it's just schoolboy errors.

I think at that point Stannis had committed so much that he knew he was either marching to glorious victory or absolute defeat and he could not go forward without absolute faith in the Red God that he would get the former. If R'hllor has not abandoned him, he will win no matter what - if he has, he will lose no matter what.

I'm not sure about him being RIP or not, given that Brienne never actually saw the candle and from her position, Sansa had plenty of time to light it (She knows Sansa's in danger, but probably not just how MUCH). To me it felt fairly definitive that he was dead, but that's just opinion!


To echo my previous discussion with MILF, I actually am more annoyed at the sudden change with Allister participating in the murder of Jon than with Stannis's change to acquiesce to the murder of Shireen. Like Fox, Allister always struck me as a "good guy" who was a rigid asshole, but valued his loyalty -- and had always obeyed Jon as Commander. Of course, I'm sure that's exactly how someone plotting their superior's murder would also behave, but it still seemed like more of a 180.

I was more mad at the poisoning of Myrcella, though I totally called it after that kiss. Conniving bitch.

Yeah I can get behind this, Thorne's a prick and utterly inflexible, but I didn't ever get the sense he would do this. Moreover he's not an idiot, so if he did, he would have done it by having someone knife Jon when he went to Hardhome, or have just refused to open the gates or something. Could have maybe used something showing him needing time to assemble his little group of Roman senators Crows for the job to explain why he did it now and not a couple weeks ago.

[Del Murder]

Good finale. Not my favorite season but it picked up at the end as this series usually does. That last episode had probably the most character deaths of any of them. Some comments:

I hope the story follows Sam and we get to see the Citadel next season.
Seemed like an anticlimactic ending to Stannis's storyline. Sacrificed his daughter, out of character, and for no reason. No duh that half his army deserted him after that. Why would anyone follow him?
How could Stannis not know that the Boltons were riding out to him? It's hard not to notice hundreds of horse galloping at you (more on that later).
How does Bolton have this large an army? Who the hell would follow a man with a skinless dude as his sigil? Anyway, I wish they showed some actual battle rather than cutting to the end. I was looking forward to that battle all season.
Where the smurf did Mel get a horse from if the mercenaries ran off with all of Stannis's horses?
Brienne missing the candle right after staring at it for days was probably one of the worst scenes in the show. You're above these cliche's, GoT.
I don't think Stannis is dead. No body, no death. Even with a body you are not guaranteed of death unless the head is not attached.
Cercei's walk of shame was about 10 times longer than it needed to be. They could have used that time to show some battle! For all the storylines in this show they sure like to waste time with unnecessarily long scenes. She looks better with short hair, though.
Arya stabbing that guy over and over was cool but her storyline in general is stupid and I don't understand anything at all about the Faceless god or how it's relevant to anything.
Back on the topic of horses, hundreds of Dothraki don't just sneak up on a person, particularly in an empty valley. Dany should have heard those guys for miles. And why the hell did she leave her dragon?
Varys and Tyrion should be together forever. I hope they turn Meereen into a bustling metropolis by the time Dany gets back and she's like 'uh...'
I love the reactions to Jon being killed. I thought it was unexpected and great. Of course he's coming back. It makes no sense in the narrative to permanently kill a lovable main character whose mysterious backstory was never fleshed out and is the only link to the main threat to the entire world, the white walkers. Of course Kit Harrington is going to act like the character is gone for good, he's an actor. I can see the writers seeing the overwhelming expectation for Mel to bring him back from the dead and sending us a big 'FU' by keeping him dead, but that would completely change the style of the show from something with a seemingly larger narrative to 'lets see what stuff we can do to all these characters'. Maybe without the GRRM source material any more that's where they take it, but I don't think they have the balls.

[Ayen]

Apparently, they spent all their money on Hardhome, and that's why the Stannis battle was cut the way it was.

[escobert]

I wasn't expecting Stannis to attack this season for that exact reason xD

[Mirage]

They ended it and I don't know what will happen to Jon just like the book. And I thought maybe they would give a hint but the didn't and now I don't know. I am not in the know now so arrrghhhh I feel like a TV only watcher now

Boyfriend's reaction: Argggh. I want to punch GRRM in the dick. I'm done. I'm so fucking done. This is a stupid show. I'm not watching this next season. I'm fucking done with this show. They killed Jon and left those sick flayed guys alive. What the fuck. And watch danys gonna get raped. That's how this show is. And I won't have any favorite characters now so fuck this show. I'm done.

I'm so amused at him.

I'll bet you a burger in the UK that he'll end up watching it anyway.

[Shorty]

I really hope your wisdom prevails with the show and that this is a blatant fakeout. I hope.

It's no excuse. They could have cut Cersei's walk of shame down to two minutes and I bet that would have allowed for room/budget. They probably spent more on 3D animation to put Lena's head on a nude double for ten minutes than it would have cost to have a fully-executed fight scene. No excuse!

There was no Bolton/Stannis fight though. That was the whole point of how things ended up for Stannis. It was a totally one-sided massacre where one side had like three times more cavalry than the other side had infantry. Everything that we needed to see, we saw when a couple of Bolton men murdered that one guy crawling away. Unless you legitimately wanted to see all of Stannis Baratheon's men helplessly butchered at a ratio of probably 30 to 1, the scene couldn't have been useful.

Cersei's walk of shame was extended, and it was extraordinarily powerful for that. It was very, very difficult to watch, but in the right way (unlike a couple of other scenes this season). It managed to make me feel tremendous sympathy for Cersei which was a hell of a feat given all she has done.

However, I feel betrayed and lied to by this body double business. I've been fapping to some anonymous woman instead of Lena Headey? Betrayal. Violation. I am a victim.

[Shorty]

We needed to see the massacre, and we needed to see Stannis' death. :colbert:

[Loony BoB]

Okay, I may have got this slightly wrong, but...

- Stannis was leading his men to battle. They were not in a retreat despite the odds.
- Stannis and his men charged into an open field, away from the trees.
- They were outnumbered and likely surrounded in a matter of minutes.
- Their enemies were on horseback. I find this fitting, as Bolton fans are called The Trotters.
- Stannis, on foot, against overwhelming odds, managed to survive long enough to get back into the trees - unseen - and have only to face, in the end, two random Bolton fans not on horseback as the only people in viewing distance of Stannis.

...if I've got this right, then I too am really miffed that we didn't get to see the battle in detail because hot damn I would love to see how Stannis managed that.

[Shiny]

That wasn't 3D animation. I believe it was compositing and tedious key framing. Pretty odd they went that route considering she has been naked in a film before. Girl, we've already seen your tiddle bits!

[Ergroilnin]

Well battles in the series were most likely always been dumb down a little bit. So far I've read the first book and even the battle between Starks and Tywin just before they capture Jaimie was portrayed a lot better (which is kind of important since it adds even more depth to Tyrion).

By te way, I cannot help myself... Did anyone count just how many times we've heard "Confess" and "Shame" this season? I've watched the whole season two times already and between confess, shame and oyester, clams and cockles I feel like I am going mad.

[Psychotic]

That wasn't 3D animation. I believe it was compositing and tedious key framing. Pretty odd they went that route considering she has been naked in a film before. Girl, we've already seen your tiddle bits!I think she was pregnant at the time of filming. Which is fine when you're wearing one of those big huge poofy dresses but the ol' birthday suit tends to make it a wee bit more obvious.

[Freya]

She was pregnant, that's why.

EDIT: oh psy beat me.

[Ayen]

Pretty sure we saw them in the episode before that scene when she was being washed. Maybe I'm going crazy, but I noticed a little difference in breasts size between that scene and the walk of shame. I know they probably had to add it in later because the area they're filming in was against any nudity there, but not sure why a body double was thrown in.

Psych answered the question for me. Now I think I may have been mistaken on my previous thought.

[Shiny]

Going back to what Del and Shorty were saying, there were defintely a lot of nonsensical things that occurred in this finale. My bf pointed out the horse thing as well and it is odd. The finale wasn't great but ended where it should have. The best episode this season was definitely the one with the white walkers. I will say this, they need to stop dragging things out. They still have a lot things to cover. It has become a chore to watch this show for the most part which is unfortunate considering I was truly invested in it for the previous seasons.

[Karifean]

Why am I watching this series again?

This is what this made me feel like. The answer I've arrived at is that the main reason I like(d) watching this series is because I was interested in the characters and their plights. For a while it was pretty good... but it moved away from that as time went on. This season was both the high point and the low point for me. Episode 8 and 9 were really great, some of the best episodes of the entire series as far as I'm concerned. But Episode 10 had me grit my teeth in frustration. So much that could've made for really interesting plotlines just kinda... ending. Or at least losing just about all chance of being an actually engaging, interesting, gripping plotline.

Worse yet, it made me remember how many good characters the show *used* to have. I remembered Rob and Catelyn and how interesting it was to watch their storyline(s) unfold. Seeing it end the way it did was an incredibly shocking moment and they did that scene well, but in retrospect it feels like they cut off a world of potential for that one shocker. I remembered when Reek was still a proud Theon Greyjoy, conflicted as he was taking over the place he used to call home. I remembered when Sansa still managed to go through most of the show physically unharmed thanks to the efforts of Tyrion and others, which always felt like a nice touch.

With the Jon Snow Death ending the series drove itself into a corner for me. If they go with it and he stays dead, that sucks because watching Jon Snow's struggles was a high point for me this season, and I was really looking forward to seeing how it progresses. But if they don't go with it and he returns? Sucks too, because at this point not committing to it will make having this season end on that scene feel entirely pointless and cliffhangery for no reason, which is also frustrating in a different way. So it's a lose-lose-situation now.

I'll still watch it to the end because I'm still curious about how it'll turn out. Just curious, no longer really invested. And I'll also keep going because I hate abandoning a story halfway.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

She was pregnant, that's why.

EDIT: oh psy beat me.

That's rude. Psy, don't beat the members.

I'm imagining a point where everyone literally dies in the show, and then they all come back from the dead. And then the show just continues as normal for a few more seasons, except everyone is undead now.

[Del Murder]

Here's how they should have done the Stannis storyline:

Episode 9 - Mel continues to implore Stannis sacrifice his daughter for certain victory against Bolton. Stannis refuses since this is the line he won't cross. His wife disagrees and tries to make the sacrifice in secret. Stannis finds out and has her killed (there's your omg moment).

Episode 10 - Stannis's army remains intact and he marches on. Mel gives up on this nonsense and heads up to Castle Black. Stannis sends Davos to get her since he still needs her magic. Stannis is still overwhelmed by Bolton but at least there is an actual fight and maybe even show some actual battle scenes to trick the viewer into thinking he had a shot. Then cut to the devastated army and Bolton's more or less intact. Stannis is stumbling through the woods and comes across his guard (all dead) and the body of Shireen. It was pointless to keep her alive, consistent with how this show works. That's when Brienne shows up.

I don't see how this in any way changes the overall narrative and at least this would give Stannis (who we followed through 4 seasons) more closure and it would be more consistent with each of the characters.

[Psychotic]

Littlefinger is going to betray the Boltons and rock up in the North with a Vale army anyway "oh yes I'm here to reinforce after that whole Stannis business you say do you like ladders" so the whole battle was entirely pointless to begin with.

And cue the music.

[Mirage]

Is kings landing still poor and starving? Im just wondering because people were throwing lettuce

Who needs food when you can feed on the humiliation of the queen of whores?

[Miriel]

That stabby mcstabby scene was hard to watch because it was just so mean (you stupid punks, he's trying to save you all and there's an army of the undead marching towards you! Knuckleheads!) but it didn't really strike an emotional cord with me because OF COURSE he's coming back. When he's lying there with his blood pooling out, my reaction wasn't dismay or sadness or anger, it was literally, "Oh, they left his head on. For sure he's coming back then."

Zero percent chance they don't bring him back. I'm honestly surprised by how many people got so upset after the episode aired. I couldn't believe the reaction was so visceral when it seemed so clear that he's not gonna stay dead. In the same vein, I don't think Stannis is dead. At least not yet. If it didn't happen on screen then it didn't happen at all.

The horse thing with Mel really bothered me.

[Ergroilnin]

So anyway, who do you think actually has a true blood right to the throne? It is pretty much between Targaryens and Baratheons anyway.

But how do you decide if the right to the throne belong to one or the other? Both of them got the throne by the power.

[Rantz]

Blood right is pretty much just a cultural institution, so I don't see anyone as being the "true" heir. Recall Varys' wise words!

FpL6Fwu0wkw

[Del Murder]

I always thought Stannis was the true heir at this point since all the 7 kingdoms pledged fealty to House Baratheon after the war. Stannis was Robert's heir. If Stannis is dead, I don't know who the smurf is the heir, though it probably doesn't matter in the end since zombies are coming to kill all of them.

[Psychotic]

Given that Robert's grandmother was a Targaryen (which is why he got the throne in the first place) I think the legitimate Baratheon heir might actually be Daenerys anyway.

[Del Murder]

Ah, interesting!

[Loony BoB]

Given that Robert's grandmother was a Targaryen (which is why he got the throne in the first place) I think the legitimate Baratheon heir might actually be Daenerys anyway.
Surely when dealing with the Baratheon heir, it would depend more on Dany having Baratheon blood than Robert having Targaryen blood?

[Psychotic]

That would take precedent yes. However all the information that's written about the Baratheon line shows single sons every generation (which is ridiculous for a medieval inheritance system but hey ho) and then I can't help but wonder if it becomes matrilineal in such a case. Really nerding out, there is an inheritance situation for Rosby (minor lordship) in the books and there's six possible claimants from different lines and the crown has to decide who inherits. I'd think the easiest way to solve the inheritance crisis would be to legitimise one of King Robert's bastards.

[Formalhaut]

[Freya]

Mellisandre had an interview


To start, Van Houten summarized some of the interaction Melisandre had with Jon over the course of the season. “You’ve seen her clock Jon Snow, which is a great ending because you think, ‘Uh oh, what’s going to happen there?’” she said. “You feel that she is concentrating more and more towards Jon Snow … there are slight hints that something’s going to happen.”

In addition to their final meeting, we shouldn’t forget that Melisandre made a blatant sexual overture toward Jon back in “Sons of the Harpy,” presumably because she wanted to give birth to another shadow baby. So yes, the show has established that she’s interested in the guy.

But is she interested enough, and does she have enough power, to try and resurrect him? If the producers are planning something like that, they’re keeping very tight-lipped about it, which is only to be expected. Also, Van Houten obviously isn’t going to spoil anything, not unless she wants to really tick off her employers. She did, however, let slip a little hint about something coming in Season 6.

"I was doing ADR the other day and then the producer was there and he was saying something that I’ve heard before, which is quite spectacular, for next year, which I really can’t say anything about."

ADR, for those who aren’t aware, stands for “automated dialogue replacement,” and involves an actor coming in to rerecord and synchronize her lines, something that happens often on Game of Thrones. Van Houten’s claim that a producer talked about something “quite spectacular” coming “next year” is incredibly vague, and could be referring to almost anything—who’s to say that this spectacular something even has anything to do with Melisandre?

Stanolas Cage is pretty perfect actually.

I was thinking about this the other day:

Since most major TV shows/film series do this now, what's to stop HBO from splitting the final season in to two seasons?

If we assume (crossed fingers) that Winds of Winter will be out before Season 6, my money is on March 2016 before an April show premiere, then what if HBO decides the final season will have something like 16 episodes and split it, 8 in 2017 and the final 8 in 2018. That would give Martin two more years to finish the novels before the final, final episodes are on.

It's happened with Breaking Bad, The Sopranos and Mad Men as well Harry Potter and The Hobbit (sorta).

Thoughts?

Take care all.

[The Captain]

[Night Fury]

I've known sincey 6th birthday many moons ago when I was given a vision - I tweeted it immediately of course.

[Shaibana]

well, dont put all your money on that bet..

ofcourse the GoT makers are aware of the rumours and dont let him cut his hair, and make him show up so we dont have a definitive answer.

[Tyson]

It was always a given Jon was coming back, his character ending the way he did just never made sense from a storytelling perspective. GoT likes surprising deaths but all of them have made sense in retrospect, Both Ned and Robb's storyline's had reached conclusions by the time they bit the bullet.

Jon's character still has so much potential, his parentage has never been fully confirmed and he provides the POV for everything around the wall. The real question is HOW does he come back, he is most definitely dead at the end of season 5. I'm 50/50 on either Melisandre or Bran being the catalysts for it. The fact she arrived back at the wall mere minutes before the stabbing seems all too convenient.

That being said they need a cool way to bring Bran back into the story (I have to imagine the first scene of Season 6 will be Bran-focused)

9 months till we find out :S

[Del Murder]

Yeah the speculation should be on how he comes back not if. I think it has to be Mel. With Stannis dead or at least defeated she has no real storyline and I always thought her a major player in the outcome of this world. She certainly was the catalyst for most of Stannis's actions.

Come on, he's walking around with Edd. This is totally confirmed he's alive.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Maybe they just plan on doing some flashback scenes with him in them? I mean, I want him to be alive, too, but this all seems to be such a stretch.

[Freya]

The only flashback they've ever had in the series was young cersei, a flashback scene is a stretch.

They said before he was dead, that was it, no more filming, he didn't have a contract to oblige with keeping his hair long. Yet here he is, in Belfast, long hair and all, where they have already started filming season 6, with a member of the nights watch. It's pretty obvious there is more Jon Snow, now.


Also Yara is there! So more greyjoy action too!

[Pheesh]

At this point I'm just hoping that this is the most elaborate troll ever. "Hey Jon, want some more money and a paid for vacation to just hang around the filming location with your hair still long."

[The Captain]

One way to bring Bran back and to use a flashback to do some story heavy-lifting:

Open the next season with Bran viewing what really happened that night in the Tower of Joy. Supposedly they are casting a young Ned and Robert, so maybe it fits? And it can give us some definitive Jon Snow origin story.

As for his fate. I think he's dead. He was stabbed over a dozen times and was losing a lot of blood with no immediate medic or healer nearby. Just a red priest that as far as I know can't stop blood-loss.















But, will he stay dead? That I doubt. He still has a part to play. As I said before, maybe no longer as Jon "Snow" but maybe reborn and free of his vows as Jon Stark or perhaps as the new Head Commander of The Others? Or as the Prince That Was Promised. Or as a vengeful zombie a la a certain unshown TV character. There are a lot of possibilities. Him just being dead seems the most trite and least GoT way of doing things after building this world up through his eyes.

His "death" means that technically everyone involved has not been lying. If Jon Snow is no longer his identity, then he won't be appearing in this upcoming season.

Still, I think we all know nothing and yet, all know a little something.



I also standby my predictions of before: I think Winds of Winter comes out March 2016 and I think the last season of GoT is split in to two half-seasons. Answers will be forthcoming no doubt!

Take care all.

Was there ever any doubt? :cool:

Nope. Side note, saw him in 7 Days of Hell and now deeply regretting a few things upon meeting him (like groping his abs).

Take care all.

[Del Murder]

The word dead has no meaning in a show where resurrection is possible. So of course they will throw that word around because it is true. The question is: is he gone from the present and future storyline? I'd like to see how they dodge their way out of that question. They'd probably just say 'he's dead. dead dead dead dead dead'

8+ seasons is interesting but is the main cast signed on for that long? I'd hate for them to start killing characters for contract purposes rather than story purposes, because they do enough of that already.

I can see them being able to wrap up better with 30 more episodes than 10 as people first thought they wanted to end the series after six seasons.

[Tyson]

It really depends on the content there is left for books 6 and 7. If they are Storm of Swords quality then putting that over 3 seasons will be fine.

If they're Feast for Crows/Dance of Dragons quality we could see the show going too long and having a big dip in quality (which happens to most shows when the higher ups keep asking for more and more seasons)

[Shorty]

I firmly believe that Jon Snow is dead but Azor Ahai will rise with his body with a little bit of mixins from Lady Stoneheart for vengeance upon his family. Makes the most sense to me!

[Tyson]

I firmly believe that Jon Snow is dead but Azor Ahai will rise with his body with a little bit of mixins from Lady Stoneheart for vengeance upon his family. Makes the most sense to me!

I still think Jon has to be around for the realization of who his mother is, so i think he will still be 'him' when he comes back, just a slightly colder version, Much like Beric Dondarrion.

[Kalevala]

And thus, Lord Snowheart rose, free of vows made in a past life.

[Bunny]

In the show, he is most likely dead. The show differs so much from the original source material that most of the people who watch it don't put so much importance in a line from the first half of the first season.

In the books though, he's more than likely alive.

It would really suck if he ends up dead in the show and is alive in the books. I can hear the fan rage now o.o

[Bunny]

Fans are going to be angry no matter what though. Game of Thrones was never going to be an completely perfect adaptation, the material is too rich and contains too many impossible-to-film moments. Anyone who went in thinking it'd be 100% faithful was fooling themselves.

As long as the show contains to be well-written and acted, it's fine by me whatever changes they make. It won't change the canon.

As some one who has read all the books multiple times, whhhat??

The show is probably one of the most faithful adaptions I've ever seen. I mean yes they have to combine characters and cut out certain parts, but the main narrative has been pretty spot on. They are not going to make huge deviations to the main story. Plus George already told them the ending years ago and they said they're working towards that ending.

There will no doubt be changes, but for example if Dany was to take an arrow to the head in The Winds of Winter you can be 99% certain it's gonna happen in the show. I mean the person shooting it might change, and they might be in a slightly different location but the main climax's aren't going to be completely different.

Another example is Stannis, I doubt it will go down the same way in the books, I even doubt it will be Brienne who does it, but he sure as hell is going to die.

[Del Murder]

I think up until now it has been pretty faithful to the source material, much more so than pretty much any of these types of adaptations that have ever existed. At this point, though, they are out of source material (at least public material) and I wouldn't be surprised to see big deviations on main plot points from what Martin ends up writing. Hell, he could give them the plot twist and see it play out on screen and then change his mind and rewrite it the book. It's almost like a testing ground for him at this point.

In fact, the books and show are so similar that I was getting confused as to which adaptation had which small difference. So I stopped reading after Storm of Swords. I'll finish it off if and when Martin ever completes the series. Maybe even read from the beginning.

[Ayen]

Jon Snow is going to be alive in the show even if he is resurrected.

Dinklage got Best Supporting Actor again.

Also they just hit a record for how many emmys one show has gotten at one time. 13. They won 13.


Also Kit Harrington let slip in an interview that he'll "be on the show until he's in his 30's" and was reported to be seen filming a battle scene.

[Del Murder]

Half the awards they won I've never heard of. But still pretty cool.

[Pheesh]

Half the awards they won I've never heard of. But still pretty cool.

Yeah, only 4 of them were Primetime Emmy awards, The West Wing has still won more than that in a single year.

More impressive I thought was the amount of nominations they received, it was something crazy like 24. That's pretty nuts.

[Bri]

I'll be 40 by the time the show is all over and done with but it will be worth watching with Bert!! Love G.O.T!!!

[Pheesh]

Flashbacks.

[Freya]

I thought he wasn't allowed to wear stark clothing before cause catelyn hated him. So it couldn't be a flashback if i'm remembering correctly.

[Tyson]

I thought he wasn't allowed to wear stark clothing before cause catelyn hated him. So it couldn't be a flashback if i'm remembering correctly.

Not to mention none of the Stark boys had been in any battles before Ned died as I recall. They were just well trained at Winterfell.

It seems like Jon is most definitly going to march South with the wildlings. Seems awfully cliche tho. Not very Game of Thrones unless it goes horifically wrong haha

[Shaibana]

so many theories :3

[Ayen]

Game of Thrones usual formula of 'bad things happen to good people, and the villains win' is already a cliche at this point. A more traditional cliche would be a welcome change of pace.

[Del Murder]

Bad things also happen to bad people in this show. Bad things just happen.

Also I think one of the themes of the show is that the line between good and bad is pretty blurred. Other than Jon there really aren't any truly 'good' people in GoT. And yes something bad happened to Jon but I have a feeling he'll come out stronger for it. On the other end, the most 'bad' person in GoT with no redeemable qualities is probably Joffrey, and look what happened to him.

[Ayen]

Unless your last name is Bolton.

Anyways, my point is, what started off as 'shocking' is now 'the norm' and expected to the point of being a running gag that what would be considered cliche in other stories would actually be more shocking than the 'shock value' they rely on.

[Del Murder]

I definitely agree with that aspect.

[Psychotic]

Good things happen too, though. All of the main characters have had triumphs and successes as much as they have had tragedies. Are we desensitised to the tragedies now? Perhaps, but I would contend we are even more desensitised to triumphs!

[Del Murder]

I think the problem is the tragedies often result in their death, so it's the last impression we have. It's like 'you did this great thing! ...buuuut you died horribly anyway.'

[Psychotic]

And if we die, we die. All men must die, Jon Snow. But first, we'll live.

[Pheesh]

No amount of living makes up for having your eyeballs gouged and your head cracked apart like a melon.

[Del Murder]

Or watching your wife and unborn child gutted by one of your generals before your eyes.

[Psychotic]

Depends on if you were living as random Night's Watchman #6 or the self-proclaimed God of Tits and Wine.

[Pheesh]

Nope, still not worth it. You could make me the actual, not merely self-proclaimed, God of tits and wine and it still wouldn't be worth dying like that.

(take a guess when I became desensitised to this show)

[Psychotic]

You're clearly not desensitised if the head melon still holds such dread for you!

[Pheesh]

I'll never again be caught by surprise like I was by that scene though. I laughed when Jon got stabbed and didn't bat an eye at a young girl getting burned alive, so I'd say there's nothing this show can throw at me anymore. Also I don't actually care about any of the characters anymore. I'm interested in what happens to them from a story telling aspect, but I stopped rooting for anyone after that head melon moment.

>>> pfff, season 5`s last episode was pretty WTF (is just me or they are running out of good ideas?)
maybe too wtf to take it seriously :shrug:

[Ayen]

They're running out of source material. They're either caught up, or almost caught up with the books, so they have to make up their own trout from here on out. Which they've already been doing.

Though to be fair, their finale was mostly things that happened in the books. I think.

[Freya]

Actually, they don't. GRRM told them how the series proceeds. The two producers/writers are the only ones who know. So while it may not be exactly like the book, it'll still be the same story line.

It happened to Jon in the book and then slightly different but still basically the same in the show.

[black orb]

Waaaait so Snow might be alive? o.O If that were the case, I could totally imagine episode 1 of the next season opening with John alive and the fans be like: \(^.^)/\(^_^)/\(^.^)/ "Yeaah he's alive!" And then at the end of the same episode he'll die brutally and make every kick themselves for not seeing it coming.

Tbh the saddest part of the show for me was during the red wedding where they killed the wolves :(

Yes exactly! Maybe it's because animals are generally innocent, not capable of being as flawed as humans are and that we're desensitized to seeing people dying all the time in movies/shows/games. Either way, poor Lady :( At least we still have Ghost! Or did he die too, I can't remember :/

[Ayen]

I think Ghost is locked up somewhere or he would've been eating some sons of bitches during last season's finale.

[Rin Heartilly]

Oh good! I hope Ghost exacts his fluffy vengeance!

[Shaibana]

im pretty sure Ghost went his own way when Jon was in the north.
the direwolfs often go hunt on their own and will stay away for a couple of days.

[Freya]

Yeah I think that's it. I think he's just not AT the wall right now. At least in the show they have him go off more than the books. Plus they like making s squirm so they didn't show it so it hasn't happened xD He's still alive!

[Ayen]

Naturally, Ghost will return with his direwolf buddies to fuck the Night's Watch up. Then I'll wake up from that dream and go back to gaming/writing.

Snowbowl: People think Jon Snow is alive. Ramsey Snow has Winterfell. Snow v. Snow. SNOW BOWL

[Psychotic]

He's Ramsay Bolton now though and don't forget it unless you want to get flayed.

[Formalhaut]

It sounds like things are beginning to come to a head, as the major factions begin making plays. I do wonder how the other houses will factor in though. We have the Tyrells, the Greyjoys (who we haven't heard from for ages), Martells... even the Arryns will be important in Littlefinger's arc.

I hope the other houses have as much importance as the big three, anyway.

[Ayen]

Ms. Shame Lady, your days are numbered.

And when Cersei finds out what happened to her daughter Dorne's going to be a pile of trout.

Glenn to storm Winterfell and miraculously survive.

so much trout to happen :D

atm im most curious about what will happen between the Lannisters and the Martells after what happened :3

I'm pretty close to being caught up in the books too, halfway through the 5th novel, so the anxiety is killing me. A little over 1 more month left. Hopefully avoiding as many spoilers as possible, and I noticed that the glimpse I caught of Bran has him looking like he';s taller and about 5 years older than the last time we saw him... :/

Going to try to find a decent Euron set.

Edit: Went with a Mads Mikkelsen-inspired one since, other than two brief clips in the trailer, we haven't really seen Pilou Asbaek as the character yet. Might switch it up once the season starts and Euron is finally in some scenes.

I've been Melisandre since we first did this is 2013, but I'm switching it up this year. Since the Greyjoys are actually featuring in this year's season, the lovely Yara/Asha (one of my very favorite book characters) is sure to be in this season a lot!

So if someone else wants to be Mel, go for it. :)

Formy, you should be Davos or Brienne.

i vote Brienne

[Rantz]

I'll shed my usual Littlefinger set and be just a nighty king this year.

[Formalhaut]

Formy, you should be Davos or Brienne.

Oh yes, Davos! Brilliant suggestion. He's my favourite under-appreciated characters in GoT.

I choose violence.

Eeeeeee! He's my favorite character in the entire series both book and show-wise! (Asha/Yara is second).

[Formalhaut]

Agreed! I really like Asha/Yara as well, though it is a shame she isn't featured so heavily in the T.V series.

I'm really hoping she will be since a couple new Greyjoys will be introduced, and her story ties into theirs a bit.

[Night Fury]

Can you stand being a Geordie though, Formy?

[Formalhaut]

Can you stand being a Geordie though, Formy?

I suppose I'll have to make do. :monster:

Jon's dead, isn't he?

While I won't watch the show anymore if that is the case, at least I'll still have respect for the show unlike TWD.

[Psychotic]

He's dead now, sure. Whether he remains dead is another question.

It's not really comparable to Glenn, though. If they had Jon pop up and say "lol j/k Nights Watch my rock hard abs repelled your blades" and nothing of note comes of it then yeah, it's TWD. It's already been established in the GoT show that people can be resurrected either through magic or science, but at a terrible cost to those brought back. So if they go through a process to bring him back that has an impact on whoever does it and Jon himself isn't returned exactly as he was then I don't have any problems with it.

[Bubba]

Yeah, you're right. It is different with Thrones. If he is resurrected it wouldn't grate on me anywhere near as bad as Glenn's death. I guess I'm just sick of these "Are they really dead?" Cliffhangers.

[Rantz]

I don't care about anything else in that trailer WHO'S HURTING POD

j/k I care about everything in this trailer, I'm so excited

[Shorty]

Are huge/giant spoilers from another tv show that people might not be caught up on seriously being carelessly discussed in this thread without spoiler tags? This is kindof bulltrout, guys. Not cool.

[Psychotic]

This isn't something that just happened. It was six months ago, and if it meant that much to people they would've seen it by now.

[Shorty]

You don't get to decide what is and isn't important for other people, and saying "it happened six months ago" is dismissive and rude. If it was in the first or second seasons, alright, that's fair. Something big that happened in the most recent season isn't okay, and there's no excuse for not putting spoiler tags for a discussion about a huge character death in another tv show in this thread.

[Psychotic]

If you want to have a constructive discussion about what should and shouldn't be tagged as a spoiler then by all means. However, I disagree in the strongest of terms that a simple explanation for posts you expressed concern over is either dismissive or rude.

[Shauna]

I am honestly in two minds about the whole thing, because Glenn isn't dead. So there is no spoiler of any character death, I guess? Maybe a bit of lessened tension in certain parts of the last season of TWD if stumbled upon accidentally.

But yes, I would think it is probably best not to be posting unmarked spoilers from other recent shows in here.
