OT: Winter Is Coming | Game of Thrones Discussion Thread

wow

Game of Thrones' 'Battle of the Bastards' is Now the Highest-Rated TV Episode of All Time

 

[BGDave]

Did they show the two of them talking in the preview? Perhaps Jamie arrives in time to see the whole place burning....

Nope. Just rewatched it. Jamie is seen briefly having dinner with the Freys. Cersei is getting ready for trial. No interaction shown.

Spoiler: Apparently some think Sansa is

/and for those who think Sansa is pregnant. Are you kidding? She would drink a gallon of moon tea, and if that didnt work, she would punch herself in the stomach as long as necessary.

Agree 100000% dumber than not zigzagging.

Oh well excuuuuuuuuse me for wanting a little realism in a show about dragons, and magic... and time travel...

oh and people being resurrected... oh and that army of dead people that the guy who is somehow part of a tree is watching...

Okay, point taken.

Lol, somewhere on youtube, there's a Q&A with the cast where they ask Samwell how could he still be so fat after all the walking and starving and fighting and such. And he responded kinda the same... Was really funny.

I don't get these slave masters - they know Khaleesi has dragons, they know she's smart politically, and they know that she's spent the last 3 seasons (however long that time is in Throneland) killing slavers. So knowing all of that, they say "eh, let's attack with an armada made of wood and threaten her and hope for the best"?

Desperation for the slave masters. Their last chance to not be overthrown was to win it all back. No idea why no one had a bow and poison arrows though.

And also wasn't the last time they saw the dragons when they were much smaller? If they had intel, was it that Dany and her dragons were nowhere to be seen?



This made up for it, and all other inconsistencies ever with that show as far as I am concerned. Amazing photography.

 

[Rockinkuwait]

Also heard the Jon Snow wandering around shell shocked wasn't one straight cut, but used some CGI to make it appear that way. Great idea, and done perfectly.

Had me completely fooled (was the opening of the Revenant done the same way now I wonder...)

 

[Rockinkuwait]

Instead of Dragons breaking out of the wall, Arnold could come out with his minigun aiming for 0 kills screaming "must protect Sarah Connor", and the next scene has Rick Grimes telling what's left of the Nights Watch how to kill the walkers, and they start the actual battle of the Bastards with that....


and it's still the best episode. lol

The thing that makes a lot of people suspect this is because of a certain line Ramsay said. But even if it was true, how the fuck would Ramsay even know? Even if she found out before leaving Winterfell, she never would have told him. So if that is the main clue, then it really makes no sense.

SPOILER ALERT...

I heard that in the next episode the Red Woman finds a pile of dog excrement and brings Ramsay back to life. The producers learned their lesson and aren't going to make us wait a whole 'nother period between seasons to see one of our favorite heroes revived.

Totally agree. Watching the episode, I assumed he just meant "I am inside your head, f***ing with your mind, and you will never be able to get me out of there". When I first heard the rumo(u)r, I could even remember what the quote was that people were misunderstanding.

Stellar. Probably the best I've seen on television.

Revenant was directed by Inarritu. He also did Birdman, which is presented as one continuous shot, but using a number of tricks to fool the audience, including CGI. Incredible craft, and worth checking out, if you haven't seen it. I like where he's pushing cinema - towards more creative use of the medium. Too many films are essentially "filmed plays" - especially dramas and comedies.

Nice info, there's a few good scenes like that in TV and movies, I remember a couple scenes in Netflix's Daredevil that went with the one camera shot for fights, and Oldboy had the hammer in the hallway scene.

Best GOT episode ever... And it's not fucking close. So many turns of plot, so many things revealed, the music was incredible, and one of the most beautifully shot episodes I've seen. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Yes yes yes to all of this. I got exactly what I wanted.

42 weeks to go.

Worst episode ever.

No more Margery-booby...

 

[juliansteed]

Loved that episode. I was expecting a character purge this season as the series winds down, but wasn't expecting to lose so many major and recurring characters all in one episode. I also thought Jamie would be the one to eventually kill cousin Lancel.

This might be the first time episode 10 outdid episode 9 and that was no small feat.

 

[mattola]

Game of thrones is the best show I have ever ever ever watched... Ever

Wow

 

[mattola]

That is how a finale should be
