"Daenerys sat there and watched while her husband killed your uncle"
Hilarity insues from the misunderstanding.
I don't think Jon would mind that.

New crazy theory: Jaquen IS the God of Death and has just unleashed Arya onto the world to bring him names, delicious names. After all the many faced god comes to us in many forms.
I will only like that theory if he shows up more often in the last two books.Quote:

It is not doubt tough to write when pressed for information, and also I imagine the difficult task to tie up his multiple loose ends he developed for ASoIaF is certainly hard.Quote:

OMG, dude. Those images are clever as smurf.
Those are just old chuck Norris jokes.
You think they're funny
i just read the part where Drogon comes into the fighting pit and Dany jumps on his back and flies of.
and that reminded me of something:
G.R.R said that Dany is not fireproof and that her survival in the Khal's pire was just a 1 time thing.
but in the book she runs into the fighting pit with a whip and Drogon burns her before she manages to tame him and fies of.
she is a bit burned afterwards but she should've been dead if she wasnt fireproof..
:colbert: i think he's just a liar and Dany is fireproof!
I believe the word you're looking for is fire resistant
thats the sameQuote:

Fire resistant would mean fire would have a hard time burning her but eventually, she would burn.
Dragon fire might also be a bit different than regular fire since it's magic and makes things that kill White Walkers and stuff.
What Freya said. ;)Quote:

In video game terms fire resistant is -25% from fire damage and fireproof is -100% from fire damage.

Season 7 is Delayed.
because you didn't read the link It's because since at the End of Season 6 they said "winter is here" Most of their setting is going to have to be filmed in the winter/fall seasons for a better look to avoid high post production costs. So the show will air later in the year since filming will be done later than normal. Still only 7 episodes though next season.
So we have a longer waiting time for more GoT :(
Damn it Freya! Have a started shooting messengers yet?
and if you havent read the spoiler tag either: :P

Maisie, Kit, Lena, Peter, and Emilia got Emmy Nominations.
Maisie and Kit getting it makes me super happy. More so with Maisie. She was 13 when the show started. That's gotta be validating!
We also have a new friend who ended up drunk on my couch this weekend. So come sunday, we showed him Game of Thrones. We went through like 8 episodes of season 1! Seeing everyone so young, it's kinda nice to rewatch knowing what we know now.
Also Kit had a much more derpy face in season 1
That he did! I always think he looks a bit weird without facial hair.Quote:

alright i just finished season 6
btw i just started this show three weeks ago
i can sleep again
Thoughts after marathoning it?
We caught up recently too. Now if we could just get a publish date on The Winds of Winter.....
Is this back yet?
Nope.
So my coworker is just now watching it and working her way through. Her comments crack me up. She loves "that little dude" and also feels really bad they chopped off jaime's hand. She was worried "the khalessi dragon lady" was going to give her dragons away. Today she came back all smug "She didn't give them away! They thought she was and then she started speaking that language and it was awesome."
She's never been spoiled by any social media or anything so it's great to hear what she has to say about it as a new person haha
Haha, sounds like my Mum if she decided to watch it! :lol:
Saw this and giggled.
FROM THE SET PEOPLE SAW Gendry. They saw Gendry. With a warhammer that had a baratheon sigil on it. He was meeting with Davos. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!
Even more spoilers that are even more spoily than that last oneDavos and Tyrion. Davos and messandei. AND JON SNOW.

Arya and Bran both get back to winterfell :D So does sam and gilly!
Viserion falls to the white walker army and wrecks trout as a zombie dragon thing, including the wall!
Well there's been plenty of sightings though. So many that i'm hyped. That's stuff that is actually happening. The above is not confirmed so take it with a grain of salt if you read it. But seriously don't read it if you don't want spoiled. It will spoil nearly the whole omg and the plot.
apearently the entire plot i already out in te open.
i'm going to do my best to avoid the spoilers
I miss this show. Right now I'd be getting teasers for the new season and only have a few more months. Now i'm sitting here sad that I have to wait longer.
THERE'S A TEASER OUT! DATE CONFIRMED.
July 16th!
It's an ice statue with all the figures of the houses and it eventually melts. It has lines from various people throughout the show and a new line at the end as the sculpture crumbles of Jon saying The only war that matters is the one that's here, the Great War
I'm really enjoying the outfits for Dany and Messandei this season
https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media...cskwy2vb7b.png
https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media...hcifujbzk2.png
lol they actually finally get to wear clothes
They've upgraded their wardrobe so that it actually covers the body. They look nice and militaristic!
Oh gosh I really hope Messandei doesn't die this season. She's in that danger spot of being very likable but not quite a full character on the show.
She's definitely eating it at some point. She's a pretty pointless character as far as the story goes.
But she's really nice!
Oh wait, this is GoT. That's par for the course.
New set photos, this is the best one though. I ship them so hard.
https://static1.squarespace.com/stat...g?format=1500w
EVEN MORE PHOTOS LOOK AT THIS DRAGON OMG
http://i.imgur.com/LhAXsZF.jpg
(there's more here but that's the only amazing one.)
I liked the bit about skeletons sitting on the Iron Throne. Skeletons are always handy to have in a fight, so to have one as King or Queen would be a good prospect for Westeros.
I didn't like Grey Worm x Missandei because nobody cares. No, Formalhaut, not even you. Don't even. The pair of them combined have less personality than Jamie's hand. Yes, the rotten one.
I care. I want Greyworm to just be happy.
It's Season 7, how are you still such a sweet, summer child? Don't you get it? Nobody gets to be happy!
Greyworm does apparently!
Also Davos is the best isn't he? That quote. He's just, he's the best. We don't deserve Davos
Oh he does, does he? We'll see about that, there's two more seasons to go. Care to make a wager with me as to whether the pair of them will still be alive at the end of the very last episode of Season 8? :)
I'll make a wager with you about Missandei dying. She's getting the axe, not him. He's already had a death fake-out, and his life has been so tragic. He lost his penis. Now he's going to lose his heart. (Okay, that's a great movie tag?!)
Also, there's no way Cersei is making it out of this season. None at all. Bitch. Is. Cornered. Which is a shame, because she's hands down my favorite character in the series. But as season 1 Cersei said--you win or you die. She's not going to win.
Yeah I can see Missandei dying.
If cersei decides to actually be productive in the great war, i'll be surprised
Ehhh, flip a coin between the two of them. Wouldn't be surprised if they both die.
Also with Cersei I think the question isn't whether she's going to die, it's which brother is going to do it.
If it's not Jaime, I'll be really disappointed.
I wouldn't be. Jaime is the obvious one.
Sad as it is to admit, either Grey Worm or Missandei is likely to die this season, probably in some way to make the war more 'real' to Dany or something. Probably Missandei, for reasons Jinx outlined.
It would be much more compelling storytelling, even if it was the more obvious.Quote:

I can think of situations where Tyrion doing it would be compelling. For example, he can either have his revenge on Cersei and kill her and lose Jaime forever, or spare the sister he hates for the brother he loves. Or they could need her help/resources against the White Walkers and Tyrion, the man who always advocates the smart play, makes the dumb one and kills her.
With that said, I would still prefer to see Jaime do it, but I don't think a Tyrion scenario would be awful either.
SAd news from George R.R. Martin's Twitter that the wolf that played Jon Snows Wolf Ghost has died.
Oh no. It's not. It's the wolf him and his wife named ghost at a sanctuary. The Dog they used for the show is still aliveQuote:

Valar Botghulis.
Its cheesy as hell, but I predict Sam will get to be a wizard.
He said he's always wanted to be one.
He's gone to study being a maester.
All the boys that study try magic at one time or another, even though they know they'll fail.
The warlock at Quarth said that magic had returned in the presence of dragons.
The dragons are going to Westeros.
Sam will try his hand at magic while the dragons are in Westeros, and succeed.
Only a month left to go!
We have four episodes of season 6 to rewatch then I'm all set!
I reckon someone will die at some point.
I forgot to post this here yesterday but here if you haven't seen it yet!
The last two episodes of season six I think are my favourite of the entire series. The build up in the first 20 minutes of the final episode leading to the wildfire destruction was masterful.
Changed my set to good ol' bad bitch of Westeros, Cersei.
I dunno that I'm feeling much like Cersei though...
Who is everyone else claiming?
My sets so far have included The Wall, the bear that Brienne fights in that pit... and Jamie Lannister's hand. I am still contemplating what my set will be for the new series.
We should all get ourselves kitted out for the start of July!
This year you could be "that leftover splatter stain of Tommen on the sidewalk"Quote:

I'm not sure who I want to be this time around. It will take some consideration.
I have watched this new trailer like 20 times now :lol:
It's crazy to think there are only 13 episodes left, I started watching when season 1 was first airing and it has been such a big part of my life ever since. I've had so many conversations about it with friends and ex's I don't even see anymore. It is going to be so strange when its over but I'm glad they are going out with a bang. This season seems completely action packed!
I am still holding out hope that Jorah Mormont is the prince that was promised. Also think we may get the Clogahn bowl this year... Hopefully.
I think I'm going to be Beric Dondarrion this season. I have no doubt he'll die, but it sounds like a good choice.
Pretty sure I did Cersei last year, and might do her again this year. She is everything. :heart:
I don't know if we will see Cersei's Last Stand this season or next season, but either way it should be glorious. If she somehow tries to employ the Walkers into her unholy army, that would be fantastic.
Turn around, touch the ground, triple lock no returns bagsy Granny Tyrell.
This would be interesting. The original failed tempering his flaming sword twice before finally succeeding. He had to sacrifice his love by tempering it in the heart of his wife. For Jorah to forge his sword he would have to plunge it through Danny's heart! Maybe she takes over Westeros, but is a horrible Queen and making bad decisions fighting the White Walkers. Jorah realizes what is at stake, then kills her for the good of the realm, becoming tPtwP in the process.Quote:
I am still holding out hope that Jorah Mormont is the prince that was promised.
Finally all caught up on the episodes, just in time for the new season.
Though the news that we are much closer to the end, and with smaller seasons is a bit sad, it makes sense from a budget side as looks like each episode will have major setpieces happening which cost lots of money.
Still, I hope sincerely that each character who has made it this far gets their due and isn't just thrust into a battle and killed unceremoniously to keep the story moving.
I'm especially interested in the fates of Theon, Davos and Jorah Mormont. In much the same way as Jamie, Theon now seems like a character who will try and find some more redemption for all the horrible acts he undertook. What sort of justice does he deserve? Davos remains possibly my favorite character in the entire series for a variety of reasons, from his honor to his sense of humor even in the darkest of moments and Jorah is perhaps the most tragic example of being "friend zoned" in history. I don't think they both make it but I hope so.
Though everything seems like it's building to an inevitable Jon Snow and Dany team up against the White Walkers, I hope there is something more tricky up the show's sleeve. It has always been a story that defied conventions, so for it to become a more or less chosen ones beat back evil in the end would lessen it just a bit in my book. I still think Martin and the show runners have a few more gut punches left too. Between the Red Wedding, the fate of Oberyn, the Night's Watch mutiny, That damn door holding and Cersei's revenge, they've proven they can upend the chessboard over and over.
As for some darkhorse and wild speculation: I kinda want to see Meera Reed turn up to be Azor, just because it would be so out of nowhere and she did have to kill someone she loved dearly. Highly unlikely of course. That or it turns out there is no Prince that was Promised at all. Or maybe... she has to kill Bran?
I don't think Cersei gets her comeuppance until Season 8 but who the heck knows at this point? What if all the Lannisters end up being extinguished, much like a certain other noble house that now has a song written about them?
Finally, I think Littlefinger gets ripped apart by Nymeria on behalf of Arya and Sansa. Warms my heart, even if its pure fan fiction.
Take care all.
I did Cersei last year, you were Yara Greyjoy :razz:Quote:

Bubba was ranting to me about it. I didn't care. Hell professor slughorn warning sam potter not to go to the restricted section of the Hogwarts library didn't bother me, bubba just hates ed. Lmao
I'll share more of my opinion on the first episode in the morning.
Opening scene was awesome, rest of episode kept me interested and was nice re-introduction to all the plotlines after a long break.
This. Plus special shout out to The Hound. I hadn't realised how badly I missed his sour pragmatism and casual c-bomb dropping in my life.Quote:

Also Tormund's open adoration for Brienne is just too much. I love it.
There was a lot of exposition in this episode. I know it's kind of par for the course for a season opener to set the stage of what's to come, but in the back of my mind I think I was expecting a little more because we already trimmed the fat of 3 episodes this season.
I was surprised the opening credits didn't replace the stag with a lion on King's Landing.
Euron looks like he could be fronting a goth rock band. It's my favorite outfit so far.
I like the idea of the Lord of Light showing the Hound visions in the flames, and I thought wouldn't it be cool if the thing he was afraid of became a huge source of power for him.
I would have cared more for the last scene if I cared about Dany at all, but she's probably my least favorite character.
Euron looks like the love child of bam margera and ryan dunn
OKAY THEORIES TIME, thoughts as well, and slight spoilers from the trailers if you haven't watched them:
Arya:

https://68.media.tumblr.com/1061fb13...kth1o1_540.gif
After her revenge killing I thought they set her up to just be wrecking trout. But after the Ed Sheeran scene that everyone seems to hate because they all have hate boners for him, I think it served to humanize her a little bit and realize that not all of the lannister men are bad, that many are just conscripted men who are forced to fight someone else's war. She also learned how they are not able to eat much so the army is weaker with that, and that they aren't really feeling being in the army at all anymore. This coupled with the brief Wolf snip in the trailer makes me believe ---
I think she's going to a) meet back up with Nymeria b) realize she needs to survive as a pack and not a lone wolf, even though one wolf did eat all the sheep recently. So she'll be heading back to Winterfell to join her family.
I do think that she'll meet up with the red woman though because last time they met she had told Arya they'd meet again.
Jon:
https://68.media.tumblr.com/f683f5c7...qjwdo1_500.gif
Jon is going to receive Sam's Raven and be like "oh trout gotta go meet the dragon queen." And then they bang. Cause why not. But for some reason in the trailers he's seen running with tormund? Whom this episode he told to go to man Eastwatch. WHICH is where Berric, Thoros, and the Hound are going. WHO were also glimpsed in the same scene of cold snow with Jon and Tormund. So Jon has to go to eastwatch for something. So he's going to do some crazy travelling all the way to dragonstone then back up to eastwatch. MAYBE ON THE BACK OF A DRAGON?!
Also I think Jon is choking out Littlefinger next episode.
Sansa:
https://68.media.tumblr.com/277a36fc...botio2_500.gif
Sassy Sansa to Littlefinger gave me life. So Sansa doesn't agree with Jon and I think littlefinger is going to try to push this point. But Jon smurfs him up for it because they're still siblings. I think he leaves her to be in charge of winterfell when he goes to see Dany and then Bran comes back and yay! Then Arya shows up and YAY! Siblings! But Bran is like "trout's about to get smurfed, also Jon is a targaryen." Not sure where else her story will go.
Bran:
https://68.media.tumblr.com/eadc81c5...l80o2_1280.png
That wall is smurfing coming down because of him. I'm calling it. They are foreshadowing it too much. Even if it's not because of him, it's coming down. He's going to get back with his siblings and reveal lots of trout or something. There was this shot of him in a wheelchair so he's just going to spoil everything for everyone at winterfell.
I've been saying it for like 4 seasons but that wall is coming down.
Sam:
https://68.media.tumblr.com/60a7ede2...i59o2_1280.gif
He's going to find out about maybe the horn? I like how he was Sam Potter and Slughorn told him he can't go to the restricted section. Maybe he'll be the one to heal Jorah! That'd be great! Maybe Jorah will be all stone man but able to retain his mind so then he can smurf trout up.
King's Landing:
https://68.media.tumblr.com/7e84e62f...45jao1_500.gif
https://68.media.tumblr.com/ad883d58...45jao2_540.gif
https://68.media.tumblr.com/21691995...45jao3_540.gif
Euron and Cersei are going to cause some Havoc. Did you see those smurfing boats? That was like a fortress on the goddamn water. She'll eventually lose but they'll put up a damn good fight before hand. That Navy is ridic. Dany's is going to have trouble and he'll probably capture someone as his 'gift', probably his niece or nephew. Cause of the Season trailer we saw...
https://68.media.tumblr.com/abd390ec...i0xlo6_500.gif
https://68.media.tumblr.com/91073a31...i0xlo9_500.gif
And last...
Dany:
https://68.media.tumblr.com/c228f05f...byhyo2_540.gif
She's gonna smurf some trout up. The scene of her finally getting home, no one says a thing and let's her soak it in. Then she doesn't sit on the throne because that's not what she's here for. She goes to the war room and "Shall we begin?" ing it.
So I think she's gonna bang jon. But She'll be more focused on defeating cersei than on whatever Jon is wanting. Which I guess is why jon goes to Eastwatch? Maybe to prove something cause no one smurfing believes him.
She's gonna smurf up the lannisters and it's going to be glorious.
ALSO VARIOUS GENERAL THEORIES:
Gendry is coming back, he was at the premiere.
They're taking Casterly Rock.
My Zombie Bear WILL be in this season cause, please, I need it.
The Night's King is going to kill a dragon and raise it. That'd be so bad but sooooo cool.
alright, now that GoT has begun i have a reason to be back here <3 hi all!
still and always rockin' little lady Lyanna Mormont!
Also Here's the Next episode trailer for those who haven't seen it
i will not watch it, just as i havent watched any trailers or read anything GoT related on the internet because spoilers are the worst!!
knowing nothing is the best if you want to keep it exciting. i've already had alot of shows/movies ruined by watching to many trailers
as for the need of Ed Sheeran: there was no need, but that was not the point.Quote:

I've read the leaks, Kaycee. Your "theories" don't fool me :colbert:
...I liked the presentation with the gifs though :shobon:
Oh yeah, my only complaint yesterday was that the Sam shoveling trout montage went way too long.
I like that the Sam montage made the trout and soup look exactly the same. A++.
RE: Gendry
He's definitely gonna get a chance for his arms to rest, this season. Rob and I watched last season's finale last night and were talking about how Cersei became queen. I said something along the lines of, it actually makes sense because Tommen has no heirs. WHO THE smurf IS MEANT TO TAKE THE THRONE ALL THE BARATHEONS ARE GONE. And then Rob mentioned something about Gendry, and I was like, "Oh trout, yeah, I'm pretty sure he's confirmed he's coming back this season".
Sooo
I posted a few months ago with some spoilers I read that were "leaked" but Noped out of them after that. So more than that, I'm not sure about. And even then, I'm not sure if those leaked spoilers are accurate or not. My post above is purely from what i'm gathering from what they are showing so far across the show and media promoting. Outside of my general theories spoiler. :monster:Quote:

I'm hoping those are all true but I'm still wary of them being confirmed or not. Most of them seem pretty logical though. The more leak talk Starks and sam and gilly getting to winterfell seems obvious. Jon banging Dany seems to be a natural thing people want. The zombie bear I've been asking for since season 2. THe only thing that's not that obvious is the viserion thing but then I have been saying the wall coming down thing for several seasons and think i've mentioned before even it'd be cool to have an ice dragon.Quote:

So I feel confident that next season i'm going to get some grand thing with the wall. I want it to come down though haha I think that' would be so freaking cool to see this huge wall just explode and come crumbling down.Quote:

and for once i didn't click the spoilers
i'm growing up, guys
I still can't stand Arya. I think even with the realisation that not all in the Lannister army are evil, she's gone a fair few notches up on the "your actions are going to result in you getting skewered" scale.
Sansa sassing Littlefinger was the best.
Jaime will potentially turn on his sister if he catches wind of what's at stake. I can potentially even see him being the one to kill her.
Cersei will be a totalitarian meglomaniac until the bitter end.
Dany clearly means business already. Though will probably act brashly and suffer for it.
I wonder if the Hound actually saw anything in the fire, or just spouted trout because he knew they'd turn on him at some point.
Ah, glad to have new GoT to talk about.
I did not read any of the leaked spoilers, so my theories could be way, way off.
I really enjoyed this re-booted Euron. I did read about how his character was being given a bit of a soft remix after coming out of nowhere last season and his wild, chaotic angle could be a fun mix. I think his gift HAS to be someone Cersei wants dead, but who is left? Tyrion maybe? But how could he possibly get to him when he's so close to Dany? Based on trailers, maybe it's Theon or Yara, but why wouldn't he just kill them as they have no real connection to Cersei?
Was anyone else half expecting something to come out and attack The Hound and Thoros when they were burying the bodies? The mist and snow seemed to be the same as the one we saw early in with the White Walkers. Frankly, I'm glad Thoros, Beric and The Hound are going to be playing a more prominent part in the story again. I find their dynamic fascinating. The Hound in particular is in my opinion the crowning achievement in GoT's character shading. He has gone from just a henchmen type to perhaps be one of the most reluctant heroes in the entire story and I think this added twist of perhaps seeing things in the flames makes him even more important. We're totally sure about his parentage, right?
The Jon and Sansa story gets more interesting by the day and I'm convinced that something will pull Jon away and Sansa will now have to really run the show for the first time and see if she can put into practice everything she's learned along the way.
Arya, as others have said, was veering toward just becoming an out and out killer, so I think the Lannister concert scene was meant to remind her that she needs to lose some of her "No One Nihilism" and find some empathy again. Perhaps seeing her wolf again will help? Or Gendry? Or dare I hope it, Jon?
Bran finally, his story remains a puzzle to me. I think he must exist for something beyond just knowledge. Otherwise, doesn't he just sort of serve the same purpose as Sam? Someone who can advise and help out? I think the fact that he can quite possibly interact with time will in fact become more and more important.
Season openers are usually the episodes that re-set the board, so I'm expecting things to really kick into gear next week.
Take care all.
I just assumed the gift Euron intended to get for Cersei was a dragon.
I really enjoyed this episode. The cold open was probably the best bit, it was such a dramatic opening even if I knew what was going to happen.
The Ed Sheeran campfire bit was trying to hard. It was too "oh look at us, we're not evil, let's talk about how we dote on our wives." It was pushing the case too hard, basically. Ed Sheeran wasn't even the worst bit, only by association. Of course we'll portray Ed Sheeran as this folksy kind-hearted soldier. Now Ed Sheeran being a villain of the week who gets killed, yeah I'm fine with that.
Other than that, and honestly it isn't even that big a deal, I loved the episode.
I didn't mind the Ed scene too much because I like Ed. Wait, wait, wait. I mean I didn't mind the Ed scene too much because aside from the initial singing bit he was barely a part of the scene. It was the other two dudes that did all the talking. At that point he became an extra, as it should be.
Loved everything about the episode personally. Just felt good.
It's great to see Ed this season, don't understand all the backlash.
Attachment 73036
Alright, there was my bad joke for the season.
That's not a joke for me. I literally thought that is who you all were talking about. I don't know who this Ed whatever guy is so I was super confused.
He's a popular ginger popstar that people really hate for some reason but his songs keep making top 10. He's part of Taylor Swift's "Squad"
Wasn't he a massive Brexit supporter?
Who's Taylor Swift? Just kidding. :p Though I did have no idea she had a squad.
Looked it up and no, he's not?Quote:

And Yeah taylor has a 'squad' but that is very 2015/16 Taylor. She's been very private after the frenzy when she dated Tom Hiddleston (Loki in Thor). And after the backlash for when kanye had a line in his song about her ("Bitch, I made her famous") last year. He says she authorized it, she came out trying to play victim that she didn't approve that and how dare he attack her again. But then yesterday a year ago, (they're calling it snekday now for how slimy Swift is) Kim Kardashian shared a video via snap chat where she filmed kayne having the conversation with taylor on speaker phone prior to the song release where she DID approve it. So she was just trying to play victim to the public again. Which is also why she's been kinda in social hiding. She didn't even have her big Fourth of July party she usually has each year with her 'squad'. So the squad is kinda fizzling out. Mostly supermodels and other popstars.
basically, I pay attention to celeb news too much.
Ed is great. Also as much as I love Ed Sheeran, I too thought you meant Eddison at first. Who I also love.
People hate Ed Sheeran because he's a big shot pop star but he actually earned his way there with, you know, talent and hard work. People hate him because tall poppy syndrome.
The Hound looks into the fire and one of the things he describes is "a mountain".
Do you think that was a wink to the audience? Maybe foreshadowing?
Maybe, but it was a mountain in the shape of an arrowhead. I'm not sure his brother has that body type. ;)
also he has a weird faceQuote:

His older songs, like A Team are phenomenal though and I don't discredit him from that. I don't deny he works hard or has talent, but Shape of You was awful awful awful and he needs to pay for that travesty.
I don't like or dislike Ed Sheeran. I've never enjoyed pop music so I've never consciously listened to one of his songs and don't intend for that to change. Unlike Del I know who he is, though! I'm perfectly fine with them giving him or anyone else famous a cameo. I just hope that in the future they don't do it in such a stupid way.
He's a good singer and a good songwriter. The fact he is the main thing we're all talking about proves that his appearance was too prominent. It should have been more subtle like Coldplay's drummer at the red wedding.
I mean, what will we have next? Rihanna cutting dudes down with the Sand Snakes? Justin Beiber training to be a maester? Kim Kardashian whoring it up in one of Littlefinger's brothels? No. Go away.
my new car forces me to listen to the radio, so i discovered a couple of his songs. i dont like them, i thought he was a different kind if musician.
i dont hate him tho.. im 'meh' about m
https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...e3&oe=5A01B206
I'm gonna come out and say it, cause no one else has. I think that episode was lame. Don't give a smurf about Eddy one way or another. Dany coming home and playing in her sandbox had no emotional attachment. It just happened. Bran coming back through the wall was a nothing moment. Maybe they expect us to not understand its significance, or something, but it was boring. Sammies scenes were meh, and its cool he found something to help Jon by breaking rules, but its too much set up not enough now. At least Jorah's arm told us what he's up to, although why he thought the maesters could heal his malady is anyone's guess.
I will say Euron has always been one of my favorite characters, and I enjoyed his little bit.
I love Shape of You. :smash: But then I don't listen to radio stations so I don't have to suffer overplaying. I always find it weird when I remember people listen to radios. Who does that? Car drivers, I suppose... rich bastards with their fancy vehicles.
The fact we're talking about him at all is because he got brought up and we have differing opinions on the matter. If nobody got salty about it then nobody would be talking about it beyond a mention. ;) As for Coldplay's drummer - the fact that you say "Coldplay's drummer" says it all. What's his name? He's not famous. Of course nobody paid attention. I actually didn't even know that was a thing. I thought "Oh it's Ed" for about 10 seconds and then they moved on, everyone else should probably have done so, too, but again - tall poppy syndrome. People don't like Ed because he's a famous singer who knows Taylor Swift and sings pop songs and trout. It's no secret. They could have had Rob Zombie or Alice Cooper in there and nobody would have given two trouts, because they're not pop singers. Salty people gonna throw salt, haters gonna hate, etc.
I think it only irks me in so far of that sense of entitlement. He's famous, of course he's going to cameo in a blockbuster television show. I'd rather a cameo spot be given to a regular superfan who's been loyal to the show/books since the very beginning, or something like that. I would've liked it have gone to someone in which this moment would've absolutely wrecked their world, as opposed to someone in which this is 'pretty cool, I can fit this in between Hollywood parties' or whatever famous singers do.
To be fair, for all I know Ed Sheeran could be a massive GoT superfan, so my point may be weakened. Still though, I'd rather it go to the GoT superfan who works two jobs.
It's divisive, no matter where you stand on it. And I think it's a good point that such discussion nearly overshadows the actual episode, which isn't a good look.
It was just too in your face. If you're a superstar in the real world then they should do more to stick him in the background. I think about Daniel Craig's appearance in The Force Awakens. They knew that having James Bond on screen would be too jarring. Everyone would be like "James Bond has no place in the Star Wars Universe" as it ruins the illusion. So they stick him in a storm troopers outfit and there is no way you could tell it was him unless someone told you.Quote:

I don't think I explained that very well but I hope you know what I'm getting at.
I just think you're all whiny babies. You can suspend disbelief that there's dragons and ice zombies but oh no, ed sheeran.
Wah
:roll2
I just don't like his face.
http://www.standard.co.uk/stayingin/...-a3589541.html
So looks like he was cast mostly as a gift to Maisie Williams, which is kinda cool.
Take care all.
I get it but I also disagree. There being dragons and ice zombies is immersive because it's Game of Thrones. If it was an Ed Sheeran documentary, then dragons would be incredibly immersion-breaking.Quote:

I'd react the same if Lady Gaga had a visual cameo role. Obviously there's people who just dislike Ed Sheeran, but I think it's unfair to say that everyone who disliked the scene disliked it purely because it was Ed Sheeran.
I agree. Just like it was really weird seeing Boromir in the first season.
I think people are willing to suspend disbelief when it's professional actors. But Ed Sheeran isn't a professional actor, so it's more jarring to see him in a show than seeing Sean Bean not be Boromir.Quote:

Not mentioning the name of any show... but if a long-running zombie apocalypse show had presented you with a world in which any time you are overrun by zombies... you had zero chance of survival. They then show you a person being eaten alive by hundreds of zombies... then a couple of shows later that same person didn't actually get bitten once, they crawled under a bin and the entire hoard decided it was getting late and went for an early night... despite the fact there was fresh meat in reaching distance. Yeah.
If you present us with an amazing world, don't get pissed off when you smurf up by doing something stupid. Now honestly, I'm not even close to being as upset by Ed Sheeran than I was with (if one existed) a long-running zombie apocalypse show and the death/miraculous survival of (let's call him Ben) a well-loved character. It was still out-of-place and I expected better from a show of such high standards. Game of Thrones is still life though.
I'm a little reluctant to look up predictions this year. I've been able to avoid the season 7 leaks, but I listen to a few Game of Thrones podcasts who's hosts have been spoiled, and they all pretty much say the same thing.
"Be careful what you read this year about upcoming episodes because there are a LOT of people disguising spoilers as just "shot in the dark" predictions."
Hey man, The Rock plays The Rock in all his movies. And I'm ok with that.Quote:

It's not even that he was there. They kept on pushing his face into shot as well.
The whole Ed Sheeran thing is dumb. Get over it peeps. GoT reached out to him for the part because he has a pretty voice and Maise is a low key superfan. If you can deal with seeing Boromir, Dr. Isaac, and Queen Gorgo, you can deal with Ed.
Totally love the serial killer vibe Arya is getting. Sansa is still a :bou::bou::bou::bou:. I hope she dies. I still want to have Jon's babies. Dany's line gave me chills.
My predictions:
Euron's gift for Cersei is Gendry. Calling it.
And then Jaime kills Cersei, coming back around and is a Queen Killer.
Jon goes to Dany not to talk about who rules ('cause Jon don't care), but to fight together against the whitewalker army.
Dondarion dies again and doesn't come back. The Hound gets his lifes, dies in battle against the Mountain, is revived, and kills the mountain.
Sam saves Jorah. And the whitewalker war with the revelation about the dragon glass under the dragon place.
You guys do realise that Sean Bean has done more than play Boromir in Lord of the Rings, don't you? I get the similarities between the two worlds but Sean Bean has been acting for thirty-five years.
No, the people playing those roles are all legitimate actors. Ed is not.Quote:

Yeah still think you're over reacting. The only reason he was in frame more is cause they had him sitting next to maise cause again, suoerfan, the other guys had more speaking parts then him.
This trout is bananas, b-an-an-as.
Agreed. People are being whiny little babies.Quote:

The idea that he would have needed to be more established in acting roles first for you all to not freak out about what amounted to a very small cameo is just silly to me. The only thing I give a trout about is if he took away from the show with his performance or not. Having him and some soldiers singing a song that works in universe of screen followed by a single line and shots with his face in them don't take away from the episode. His role fits, his performance fits, so it's end of story for me.
Now people are overreacting to people overreacting to Ed Sheeran. :p
You can't tell me how I'm acting! You're not my mommy!
Not yet.
I will admit, my bananas comment was only because i was listening to Hollaback girl at the time.
such big fuss over a little performance...
i agree, stop bitching, its just a 5 minute roll that a famous GoT fan got for the sake of being in GoT because he can!..
lucky him :3
They really missed an opportunity by not having The Rock play Khal Drogo in season 1. The show would have been so much more popular!Quote:

I only knew of this Ed Sheeran believe it or not through my son because he listens to some of his songs from school or on the bus.
He was just lucky to partake in a small role in GoT. Imagine one of us were in his place and how we'd feel..
I can't comment on the episode since I haven't seen it, but I can see where Bubba is coming from. Some people you see in shows and movies, and you just can't see them as a part of the universe you are watching. It pulls you out of the show and it breaks your immersion. It usually isn't a deal breaker for me, but it can be an annoyance. I also admit it isn't really the fault of the actor.
When Donald Glover was in Spider Man, I just couldn't see him as anyone else besides Troy from Community. I didn't mind his part, but it pulled me right out of the movie. Same as when the actor who plays Abed in the same show was in whichever marvel movie he was in. Or when Mac from It's Always Sunny played a character in Lost... I just couldn't take him seriously.
I feel like the only person in the world who didn't really think much of the Ed bit. I was just like "huh, ok."
/shrug
I wouldn't even know what ed looks like if he wasn't pictured in this thread, so I probably won't care once I get to the episode.
I probably won't get to watch it in a long time though. I am excited to see how the show ends when the time comes though. It'll be hard to avoid this thread.
I have stated a couple of times now that it isn't the biggest issue in the world. I'd just rather it not have happened. It's not like the show has been ruined for me like it was with... let's call it The Talking Bed.
I am now eagerly awaiting episode 2.
Um, I was literally sitting next to you and said, "Is that smurfing Ed Sheeran?????!"Quote:

Whoa whoa wait a minute. Hold the phone. You only know Donald Glover from community? Ohhh boy. You are going to have a fun time. Check out his stand up and his music, he goes by childish gambino. His new album is wildly different than his older stuff but his lyrics are crazy good. Enjoy!Quote:

He deleted his Twitter over the backlash, and honestly, I find that hilarious.
I find it kind of sad honestly. Mostly because I know a lot of people on social media are complete scum bags and I believe not many people deserve the abuse they dish out over the dumbest of things.
PS: I'm as guilty of being a giant sick online as anyone else so I include myself in that. Trying to do better though.
Yeah I believe there is a disconnect with people. They think just because someone is a celebrity, that they deserve hate. Like "Well they should know becoming a celebrity means they will have to deal with haters." That doesn't magically make it okay to bully people. Just cause someone is famous doesn't mean they aren't still a person.
I really have an issue with people being jerks to people just to be jerks. "They don't HAVE to read all their mentions" well if they want to engage with their fans at all and be more genuine, they will need to look at that stuff. If millions of people are yelling at you that you suck, that can't be good for you mentally. "They should just ignore it!" You try ignoring so many hateful messages. It isn't just on social media, people do it in person too.
Heck the actor who played Joffery quit acting because people were so rude over his character.
Basically people are assholes and should stop being assholes imo
I mean, I agree.
But the way it played out in my mind was a bunch of Brits call him a ginger twat, then him quitting Twitter in a huff and having a tantrum.
I can't wait until the next episode. I hear Miley Cyrus guest stars as a tavern wench.
Wow, it sucks that Ed Sheeran had to quit Twitter over it. As much as I do genuinely think the scene wasn't the best, it's a really minor point. It's certainly not worth abusing him over Twitter about it.
Looking forward to Episode 2 now this weekend!
EDIT: And if what I've said in this thread counts as bitching, then God you have no idea.
