Now I want the ending to be Littlefinger chosen as First Consul of the Westerosi, but with Lady Stoneheart (the ghost of the common people) lurking on the periphery.
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 16 August 2017 11:23 (six years ago) link
hate to break it to you, but Lady Stoneheart will never live like common people

BTW as a complete aside, is it just me, or does littlefingers "chaos is a ladder" speech make no sense? I've been thinking about it for ages and as an allegory it seems really clumsy?
hmm. The metaphor works for me--it seems like one of the main theses of the series: In a rigidly hierarchical class system, the only way for a crafty commoner to ascend to nobility, (or a lower noble to ascend to royalty) is to wait for the realm to fall into chaos and to take advantage of it/be seen as indispensable. (Or in Littlefinger's case create the chaos yourself.) The ladder works because while you can climb a ladder to a higher level, you may also fall off it and crack your head open, particularly if there are other people trying to climb the same ladder at the same time.

Nothing more chaotic than a ladder. (I'm terrified of heights, so I probably do agree, actually)

It's like in Hamilton: You’re an orphan. Of course! I’m an orphan! God, I wish there was a war! Then we could prove that we’re worth more than anyone bargained for…

There's been a fairly detailed Ep6 summary on Wikipedia for a few hours, so stay away from that if you're concerned about spoilers.

I'd be happy to wait but we're away next week so decided to watch it. It's much better quality than the one that leaked a couple of weeks ago.

Careful with leaks - I have heard tell HBO leak files with inbuilt trojan type stuff that shows them who is downloading their stuff.

i think this one should be okay - one of HBO's european arms accidentally leaked the stream and people ripped the stream

This was someone ripping the stream after HBO Norway and Spain accidentally put the episode up on thier platform.

They're probably forcing a major death with this whole scheme but it should be fun to watch.

its an absolutely absurd plotline, the whole steal a white walker's corpse thing, but the performances thus far have sold it for me. we'll see how the actual mission plays out

felt like they kept missing the perfect climactic point at which to end the episode and then i saw the zombies pulling something out of the water and was like "oh damn they did it."
― ryan, Monday, 21 August 2017 02:45 (six years ago) link
OK now I can air my nitpick I guess? JON WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED THAT DUNK.
Also dragon ex machina.
Otherwise, loads of action. It seemed like the bears/wights took out quite a few guys, but were they just randos, did other men come along with the (heh) A-Team?
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 21 August 2017 02:52 (six years ago) link
was half expecting a "jon cannot be turned because he's already dead" resolution but maybe that's still down the road.
― ryan, Monday, 21 August 2017 02:55 (six years ago) link
Is that why he survived the water? Cos hes not technically alive? because cmon, man. They were peeling frozen clothing off him what was presumably hours later. No one survives that shit.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 21 August 2017 02:56 (six years ago) link
I counted seven heading north of the wall (last episode), then there's an overhead shot early this episode (finale), it looked like the group numbered eight. Through all of the chaos, it appeared that they lost two? three? (+ Thoros = 3), + Gendry = 4 (+ Jon = 5) - who all was on the dragon's back (besides Dany and the hostage) ? Hound, Jorah, Tormund, and Beric? it doesn't make sense.
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Monday, 21 August 2017 03:08 (six years ago) link
As soon as the wight bear showed up, the fate of one of the dragons was sealed. We hadn't seen an animal wight prior to then, right?
Fun episode. I'm sure some folks'll tear it apart, but I enjoyed it.

But yeah I could swear there were at least 2 shots of someone going into the water/being savaged (not counting thoros and tormond), that scene was really confusing!
