HBO's adaptation of Game of Thrones - Thread 2. There are a lot of nerds.

One of the only things I came to enjoy about this show, relatively speaking, is that every clan/group/family seems to have its own god/magic - and they're all right!

Sean Bean was good as the Tree Face

getting tired of him returning now. tho have to concede it was another great performance.

What did Bran actually say? Wasn't it something about her looking beautiful in a wedding dress? Was it a future vision? Does he see the future?

Something about her looking beautiful in her dress the night Ramsay raped her.

you looked really pretty in your wedding dress. sorry you got raped and that it happened here where we grew up.

now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to sit out here for a while longer by the tree face that lets me revisit more memories

apparently Bran's capacity to see into the future and apply that knowledge to the present day is limited, as he failed to take note of the concepts of trauma and triggering.

"you looked so pretty when you died"

It kinda makes sense for Bran to go this route. Need to be left alone to do all the ravening. Can't do it north of the Wall now. People won't understand the need for solitude so just mention stuff that makes them want to keep their distance.

another technique he could try, though, would be to tell sansa what his deal is, and then occasionally be like "i'm going to go do my raven thing alone, now" and then she'd be like "it's ok for you to do that. i will see you tomorrow"

Hey, how hard is it to say, "There was one guy who used to be the Three Eyed Raven, he trained me and now I'm the Three Eyed Raven, btw ur mortal sense of time is quaint."

half of GoT's drama comes from people hinting at things and never finishing their thought, or never saying what they're thinking. so there's a lot of misunderstanding, like I'm pretty sure jon snow is the king of this, he silently simmered and brooded his away into an assassination at the Wall.

Because it's not that SIMPLE! He is the three eyed raven! He always was!

Wow unbookmarking this thread was such a great decision

i wonder what dan m was hoping this thread would be

fire...and ice

jorah is a man outside of time, the dragons squawk in the morning sun. the horse thinks about its past in another land, east of essos, or so jorah believes, according to daenerys, is what the dragon on the left heard at least

they all gain 150% experience for 10 minutes

is anyone enthused about the fact that jorah is back to his old self?

i'm looking forward to him tracking down dany and then managing to get himself banished again within five minutes

will he walk in on dany bangin' jon y/n?

Yes but they won't notice so it'll be just between him and Bran.

I like Jorah, hope he finds someone else.

sam

if you can't handle me at my grayscalest, you sure as hell don't deserve me at my needy loser

pretty sure the Jorah/Sam stuff is to set up Sam becoming Dani's maester

series gonna end with a cut to old sam finishing off his book 'a game of thrones' & winking at the camera

and/or, it'll end roseanne-style with sam finishing his fictional account of the last couple of years after everything got too messy and confusing

old Sam wakes up from his nap and remembers he's actually been procrastinating for six years on finishing the last instalment of his book

a popular stage version of current events in westeros has caught up to the present and is now well advanced in predicting the future

series ends with Sam finishing his book, then Al Gore knocks on the door and explains that the White Walkers were Climate Change, then the producers come out to talk about their new show on HBO and Sean Bean jumps out of a plane and lands on their heads. Then a boob.

lol bizarro that just made me chortle with intensity

A while back I started thinking about arrested development's "take a good look, it's the last time you'll be seeing these" line every single time Melisandre appears and it has pretty much ruined all scenes with her for me

ha it's never the last time

Spring break in Westeros must be great.

spring break is coming

"pretty sure the Jorah/Sam stuff is to set up Sam becoming Dani's maester"

I misread this and now I'm picturing Sam in full bondage gear, thanks.

did we talk about that cut from sam popping jorah's body pimples to the shot of the food??

It was mentioned

just checking

i keep thinking about it out of nowhere

my kid was very insistent that we get a chicken pot pie the other day while we were at Trader Joe's and he must have wondered why my face kept turning ashen.

It wasn't as good as the soup/shit/books cutting but I hope they'll think of something else.
Me, Myself And Irene is the high watermark with shit/ice cream.

Scheiss cream

i like how jorah came out of being cured of grayscale just looking like he had a particularly bad case of the chicken pox

kudos to the GoT effects team for making grayscale removal look like picking at your nastiest, most infected scab from when you were a kid

and how engineered garments continue to sponsor his wardrobe xpost

Jorah's survival increasing disappointing in the face of all the characters who have kicked it since last season's finale.
