Over/under on Bran warging into a dragon?
― Old Lynch's Sex Paragraph (Phil D.), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 13:13 (six years ago) link
At least one dragon is getting warged, another wighted.

The remaining one...wedgied?

if the night's king can wight one of Dany's dragons I'll be surprised and disappointed and sad, but you kinda predicted jodie whittaker so I'll go ahead and mentally prepare for that now
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 13:28 (six years ago) link
surely at least one dragon will die
― ogmor, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 13:29 (six years ago) link
Yeah the ice dragon/dragon wight is coming--I think it might have been foreshadowed by one of Old Nan's stories in the books? (Along with giant ice spiders)

WTF

I think I might be bored of this show now. There wasn't much wrong with the episode, I just found myself not caring about any of it.

Still wouldn't be so confident they don't just screw around for an entire season, what else actually needs to happen before a massive war?
BTW - do Urine Greyjoy/Lannisters know about (a) the white walkers and (b) dragons? Can't remember if they were never told or were told and simply think it's a load of northern yokel bollocks?
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 13:54 (six years ago) link
I liked the episode a lot but the contrast between how much I get out of this and how much I get out of the new twin peaks is sorta glaring and damning. In previous seasons of GOT there hasn't been another show to put it into the shade to such an extent
― or at night (Jon not Jon), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 13:56 (six years ago) link
The show is still good, though now that they've moved away from the books it's full of fan-service stuff--Arya kills the RW perps, zombie giants, more flirting between the redhead and Brienne, bad guys become cuddly, Sansa throws shade at Littlefinger, Ed Sheeran drops by Boss Hog's club to sing a song. Surely Gendry's boat will show up soon.
― President Keyes, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 13:56 (six years ago) link
x-post Yeah, I watched it straight after the new Twin Peaks, which might have been part of the problem.
― Eallach mhór an duine leisg (dowd), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 13:59 (six years ago) link
The Lannisters knew about the dragons, they just didn't seem to care much when everything was kicking off closer to home. They've done a pretty bad job of establishing the Iron Islanders other than Theon so who even knows what they know.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 14:34 (six years ago) link
It's been clearly established over and over that most people, many highborns included, think that dragons and white walkers and giants and wights and all that stuff we've seen a lot of already do not exist.
― I want to change my display name (dan m), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 14:38 (six years ago) link
Cersei definitely knows about the dragons, there's a scene where (I think) Varys is telling her, she just dismissed them as babies. As far as I can tell virtually everyone thinks that the White Walkers are a fairy tale.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 14:55 (six years ago) link
In the Kingsmoot scene from last season, Euron's entire pitch to become king was that he knew about Dany and her dragons and wanted to marry her and offer his ships, but Theon and his sister beat him to the punch by defecting with a large part of the fleet.
In the books, Euron is a strange and evil sort of mystic who has sailed all over the world and he seems pretty abreast of all magical happenings in the world. The show seems to have turned him into yet another sex pirate, tho.

He kinda looks like a young Oliver Reed though and is basically the new Ramsay so it's all good.
― nashwan, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 14:57 (six years ago) link
Jon Snow send ravens with news of the white walkers when he came back to Castle Black, so everyone should know. I think they just didn't believe him.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 15:03 (six years ago) link
How could I forget the scene when Cersei pulled out of the Winterfell accord?
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 15:13 (six years ago) link
still, a bit odd that anyone could just waltz on in and see the big board.

I figured there was maybe a small garrison/skeleton staff who understandably fled at first sight of big fuck off warfleet plus dragons.
― chap, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 15:16 (six years ago) link
Stannis took his entire family with him, though; the former residents would have been wiped out in Robert's Rebellion, and Melisandre had burned all the non-believers; I think it's fair to say Dragonstone was completely abandoned. I think Dany herself is the last living person with ties to the place.
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 15:35 (six years ago) link
It's not entirely logical though. George RR Martin also made sure to have a subplot explaining what happened with Dragonstone afterwards, so it's not unnatural to wonder why it wasn't garrisoned.

Silent alarm went off when they opened the gate. Security firm will show up to check it out within 8 months.

I'm A LOT less pumped for Game Of Thrones but my loving of Twin Peaks doesn't have much to do with it. How many other expensive tv shows would be allowed that kind of unique vision?
I think Keyes is right. This show is just going to get more pandering, even if they removed all the sex and nudity.

Varys has got a great tan hanging out with Dany and all on their voyage over.
With sparing Umber Girl and Karstark Boy, Jon is making sort of the same mistake as he did before when he was Lord Commander -- i.e. allying with a despised people over the objections of the rest of the existing power structure -- though obviously he's not going to get Julius Caesared for it this time.

i don't think there's enough time for much in the way of machinations and loyalty-switching at this stage of the game, it seems to be like the rest of it will be a pretty straightforward run: finishing off the conflicts south of the wall, uneasy alliances in order to defeat the Night King's army of the undead after that. my only theory is that at some point next season Cersei will become the Night Queen, just a full evil power-up. But that might be too ridiculous...maybe.

Finding it odd that they would put any recognisable actors in what was ostensibly an Ed Sheehan cameo. Is even a very small bit part in GOT a step towards Hollywood from Shane Meadows TV or something?
Quite enjoyed that episode so looking forward to seeing the rest of the season.

the story kinda requires shady ass littlefinger to take the vale's army to help out circei, otherwise dany's just gonna steamroll everyone
― officer sonny bonds, lytton pd (mayor jingleberries), Tuesday, 18 July 2017 20:00 (six years ago) link
I mean, Sansa's due an "I told you so" moment at some point.
But I can't see tactically how dany's forces won't steamroll everyone: she's got infantry, cavalry, navy, and a fucking air battle. I don't think any of these medieval people have any idea how to fight an air battle.
― sarahell, Tuesday, 18 July 2017 20:03 (six years ago) link
yeah but the ice zombies will join with jon's army once Bran works out he can control them. and then we get dragons vs zombies ending in Jon and Dany reconciling and snogging and then dying tragically. and then everyone agrees Sam Tarly should be the one king to rule them all because Sam = GRRM

Turgoose hasn't made much of an impact outside of his work with Meadows, and he's also not a very good actor. I'm pretty sure he's just paying the bills
