Hey, I'm a little behind on this. I started watching s8e1 last night and turned it off about halfway through because it seemed like the same clunky dialogue and lack of character as plagued s7. Should I just could cut my losses and cancel my HBO subscription now?

Skip to the big fight scene. Less talk, more action

Rewatched last week’s episode again last night, and it still rules despite all the little problems
I’m kind of enjoying the nerd meltdown over the destruction of their pet theories. I think people have no idea how storytelling works other than there are supposed to be a bunch of unlikely reveals

links please? I too would like to make some popcorn and fill a chalice with nerd tears.

There are all sorts of unlikely reveals in the source material, but that’s the type of thing that can work in books but doesn’t translate well to TV
― i think ur a controp (voodoo chili), Sunday, 5 May 2019 14:56 (five years ago) link
it translated fine to tv until they ran out of books!

Next three episodes will just be them rebuilding the magic snow wall.

There were a lot of things in the books that the show didn’t even try (stoneheart, arstan is really barristan, etc)
― i think ur a controp (voodoo chili), Sunday, 5 May 2019 16:30 (five years ago) link
Wonder if we'll actually see Winds of Winter sometime in the next 12 months.
I can't actually remember where the last book finished and where the show took over

Jon stabbed to death, Dany escapes the attempt on her life at the fighting pits & lands in the great grass sea confronted by the Dothraki Horde

Me too. Reddit is a vale of butthurt tears over ep3.

Alyssa's butthurt tears, preeminent geological feature of the Vale

Not even gonna try to defend this week’s episode.

A high stakes fleet of ships traveling without scouts, and with two dragons who don’t spot a hostile fleet of ships in the area.Remember when Jaime’s character development had more or less reached its final form and then they just decided he never actually developed?

I'm letting myself be spoiled before watching this cos it sounds like its just heading towards a complete train derailment at this point lol.

That was a smelly casserole

Gwen Christie gave a good performance at least!
― flamboyant goon tie included, Monday, 6 May 2019 04:44 (five years ago) link
Lots of talky talk, virtually none of it interesting or timely; zombie apocalypse is gonna be this season’s high point for sure.

I feel like they did Brienne dirty this ep? she deserved a little better in the writing than what ultimately boiled down to a teen cliché

I figured it was obvious that he was being vague and what he meant was that he was going back down there to kill Cersei...

crossbow technology is extremely scalable
― i got bag sauce in my bag (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 6 May 2019 05:44 (five years ago) link
make a ~0.5*kings_landing_size crossbow and destroy kings landing imo
― i got bag sauce in my bag (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 6 May 2019 05:45 (five years ago) link
*looks over the blueprints carefully*
yes, that will take 400 pieces of wood and 12 hours
― these are not all of the possible side effects (Karl Malone), Monday, 6 May 2019 05:47 (five years ago) link
so second to last episode is now a big dumb (physical) battle for kings landing, and then a final episode to say goodbye to everyone, i guess
― these are not all of the possible side effects (Karl Malone), Monday, 6 May 2019 05:49 (five years ago) link
Final scene will be king/queen butt wiggling down into that throne to gasp chorus imo
― i got bag sauce in my bag (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 6 May 2019 05:51 (five years ago) link
just a real wigglefest after many bigger crossbows and the gasps the gasps will be deafening

Were Dany and friends going to King's Landing directly? I thought they were stopping by Dragonstone first?

why did theh wait for dragons to build the ultimate antiboatvweapon in this world of boat wars
― i got bag sauce in my bag (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 6 May 2019 06:00 (five years ago) link
at this point i'm mostly here in case they kill dany as that will hasten a more palatable endgame that does not involve forcing myself to watch emilia clarke sorta kinda almost act.

Starting S8 because I finally signed up HBO Now, the CGI of Dany and Jon riding dragons looks like absolute dogshit.

qyburn's big crossbow has proved genius in the end
― FernandoHierro, Monday, 6 May 2019 10:06 (five years ago) link
Tormund is the only good character on this show.
My favorite moment of the episode is Qyburn acknowledging that the screams of burning children is “not a pleasant sound.” Spoken like someone familiar with the screams of burning children.
