Game of Thrones Season 8 (Bookfags unite)

[mdmost 42865]

Massive disappointment and amusing memes. 

[lockport 55]

Sadly I must agree. The 'nobody is safe' feeling is gone. There are so many stories left to be told and with two episodes left I feel like things will be rushed. 

[Eastwood 4394]

The final scene will be Jon Snow eating onion rings in a diner. Someone will come through the door, he'll look up, and the screen will go black.

Any predictions for tonight?

Clegane bowl. 

Arya or Jamie kills Cersei. (My money is on Jamie).

Wildfire caches get lit (intentionally or not), fulfilling Dany’s vision from the House of the Undying of a ruined Red Keep with a Drago flying over it. 

Yara comes back and beats Euron somehow. Maybe with the help of the new Prince of Dorne. 

Dario somehow causes the Golden Company to turn on Cersei. 

Bran does like, general bird stuff. 

Howland Reed continues to stay out of the picture.

These are all legit. I kinda feel like Brienne needs to die, possibly trying to save Jamie? Clegane vs Mountain would be cool to see. Arya seems untouchable so maybe something will happen with her. 

Honestly something big needs to happen tonight.

Kinda sounds like something out of Twin Peaks Season 3 😂

I think at this point the two forms of the story are clearly on divergent paths. So watching the series enfold now isn't really the same as having read the books and knowing where GRRM means for it all to go. So in that regard I think people would rather just watch the show for what it is sans spoilers.

The only silver lining to how shitty the last two seasons have been is that I'm fully confident the book ending has not been spoiled hardly at all, assuming GRRM or someone else actually ever write the last two books.

Is it even possible for the show to massively disappoint anymore? The writing the last two seasons have lowered my expectations so much that I don't think I could possibly be massively disappointed by these last two episodes.

It really does feel way different this season than the books. Something has changed, there are so many more stories to tell and only two episodes left. It almost feels like GRRM has checked out and someone else is writing this stuff and they don't get it.

Jon Snow disappears to the Riverlands and becomes a lumberjack.

It's sad, really. Well, getting ready for tonight's episode. 

 

[mdmost 42865]

I hope Daenerys can save Miracles from the evil developer who wants to use wildfire to bring it down to build a new castle. 

[Continental Op 3934]

Verys gonna get cooked.  

[J.R. 150]

The DRAGON IS AWAKE motherfuckers

We going to see the clegan bowl soon? Both players are at the same place finally.

 

[RPM 26227]

BBQ at King's Landing

[Michael Knight 12897]

Very inconspicuous Arya hound and jaime

[Fozzz 152]

Mad Queen confirmed. 

[Continental Op 3934]

TROGDORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[RPM 26227]

Hound down. I repeat Hound down.

[RamjetFDO 10554]

Clegaine Bowl was perfect.

[seven 1366]

Well done episode imo

[MillerEP 30339]

I wonder if all those people who named their kids after Dany are rethinking it now.

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Arya walks up, grabs the rein ...

[Mileslong 4714]

Podrick Payne and his giant fleshhammer slaying poon all over the Seven Kingdoms. 

Welcome to my world...

[Mileslong 4714]

Is that enough death of main characters to satisfy everyone?

 

I kept waiting for Arya to say “Daenerys Targereon”...

[Michael Knight 12897]

What the fuck was that supposed to be

That episode was clearly better than the last, important deaths or not. 

[Pods 7528]

Better, but still a ton of deus ex machina.

Really handy that horse was standing all alone amidst the rubble for Arya at the end. Good thing she still has all that plot armor on.

Plot armor makes the world go round.

That Jaime death was worse than when they killed Barristan Selmy. What the fuck was the point of his arc

He killed Euron?

 

and he stayed true to his only love?

What ever it was, it came full circle and rendered him pointless.

It was all down hill for him once he pushed Bran out that window. 

He was the kingslayer. 

[Hugo Stiglitz 23356]

The Varys death was the most disappointing because book Varys would have assassinated Dany before talking to Jon 

[Mileslong 4714]

Better, but still a ton of deus ex machina.

What do you know, you’re just a lowly squire to an amazon woman...

[Pods 7528]

'And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.'

I guess the ceiling was the valonqar. 

Although, maybe the real valonqar was the friends we made along the way.

So Varys was writing letters informing someone about Jon Snow’s heritage and using the little girl to smuggle out the information.  

Who would he write?  Illyro? Yara? Citadel? the Iron Bank?  

[AUS-97HORN 11680]

so i think the ending to next week is something along the lines of, Jon has no choice anymore, he has to stand up to her in front of everyone, call her out on her lunatic moment, and say shes's unfit to rule.

Dany calls him a traitor, and says he has to die a traitors death, death by Drogon.  except hes a MFing targaryen bitches, and all that happens is Jon's clothes are burned  off, hes standing there nekkid in the middle of the fire, the whole fucking world sees him live, proving his Targaryen bloodline, and he then kills her to stop the mad queen from killing everyone.

Now that was some shop-wrecking dragon action. Pretty awesome how it turned from “fuck yeah!” to totally horrifying. The Dany heel turn was pretty predictable but it was done well.

I felt it when The Hound fell. One of the great characters in fiction. I’m glad Arya didn’t have to see him go, and as Ramjet said, it was just perfect.

Let’s see: Both Cleganes, Jaime and Cersei, Varys, Qyburn, who else am I forgetting?

We’ve already seen him burn his hands on a damn lamp, come on...

Jon's body kind of forgot he was a secret Targaryen there.

Kinda happy about the no elephants now
