Game of Thrones, the show: Spoilers

tgortney

Hey GOT ladies,

Let's talk about all the things happening in season 6 since we're on maternity leave and can watch on Sunday's!

So, Jon is back! Woot!

Jon and Sansa had a gloriously sweet moment. Which never happens in this show...

And so many things are happening!

But honestly, I'm so over this high sparrow storyline. Every screen time he has bores me to death.

In other news, who's super excited to see Ramsey possibly be killed by Jon this season?!

Fun fact: The actor that plays Ramsey (Iwan Rheon) is an Ed Sheeran type of musician and he's actually kinda good YouTube him if you're curious.

Also, if you're a hardcore game of thrones show fan: check out "the history and lore of game of thrones" on YouTube. It'll make everything they say in the show make more sense. Especially the prequel to the show, all about the Baratheon rebellion.

Let's discuss!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy. I can't wait for something terrible to happen to Ramsey.

Agree 100% about the High Sparrow. 

I I was so excited to finally see Sansa reach "oh fuck it all" status. 

tgortney

I'm really excited that she finally knew she was stupid. And I'm ready for her to have a real story instead of just being used.

Oh and how sad is it that Osha's death was the least terrible thing Ramsey has done to women yet?

LadySamLady

I cried when Sansa and Jon had their moment! 

I cant wait for Ramsey to get what's coming to him, he is one of the most evil characters of all time!

I'm not really in to Arya's storyline these days. I really want all of the Stark children to make it back to winter fell even though I know it is highly unlikely and we're bound to lose at least one more of them by the end. Im so curious about what Bran's up to and how it will connect to everything.

I also don't care about the high sparrow! I am interested to see what will happen with the Lannisters now that Jaime and Cersei's love affair is out in the open. 

Love this show and love this thread!

Brienne and Tormund. That is all.

 

tgortney

@LadySamLady I honestly wish Arya's storyline had a timeline. Some sort of days or weeks identification. It seemed like her beggar days were really short and pointless. She could have done her daredevil training in the temple... I mean how long has that girl been there?!

@sorarose yaaaas! I totally ship it!!

ETA: I'm honestly rooting for the Lannisters to take out the high sparrow at this point.

My favorite scenes are Varys and Tyrion by far!

I agree about Arya's storyline.  I hope it ties in to the rest of the show soon, because I don't really get it.  I'm glad to see Bran again after not seeing him last season.  I'm hoping the "flashbacks" he has been having will fill in some of the backstory.  I would love to see Jon kill Ramsey.  What a sadistic, fucked up kid!  I'm also interested in seeing how Daenerys moves forward with her new Dothraki army.  She's a badass!      

LadySamLady

@swflJD yes! I love Daenerys! I can't wait for her to make her way back to Westeros.

Sort of random but I can't believe how different Bran looks since the last time we saw him! Holy puberty! They really space the seasons out... 

tgortney

Bran, Rickon, Robyn Arryn all hit puberty lol and Mira Reed too I think.

Bran's flashback scenes make this season way better though. Especially the tower of joy stuff. I'm really interested about Lyanna Stark.

Charissadeats

I must say, this season is holding up with the first two seasons. Last season felt a bit boring, but I am loving the new season. Jay for Jon Snow. Can they stop killing off the wolfs though!

Lurking from July, but I  thought this was fitting 

JoMunson

LO and I were watching GOT yesterday morning. I FORGOT I was holding my baby when Sansa and Jon saw each other (thankfully we were laying down!).  I was telling my brother the other day how I found it really sad that Jon's siblings basically spend entire seasons attempting to get to him and he's totally devoted to the watch because he doesn't think any of them love him that much (IMO). 
I'm so excited to see what Sansa and Jon do!!

I don't think magic could even bring that back... Stupid Reek.

missnc77

I'm kind of hoping for a triple Stark stabbing of Ramsey via Jon, Sansa, and Rickon. 

I agree with others though, this season is really great. I'm so excited Sansa and Jon have reunited, and I think the writers have done a great job with developing Sansa's character from the shallow teen first season to who she is now. Arya, however. I used to love her story line back in the Hound days, but yeah, I am so bored by it these days. I'm hoping everything comes together and makes more sense. 

My UO - I really don't like Daenerys. Every season she has this big moment where she conquers and takes on more soldiers, but then it always fizzles in some way into showing she's not really that great of a queen/ruler. Then we get the strong Daenerys again until the next fizzle. When she walked out of the flames this past week, I just rolled my eyes. Are the writers going to actually keep her as a strong female ruler - have her go back to Meereen with her new army and get rid of the sons of the harpy? Or will she just get eaten by one of her dragons?

WTF they killed off summer!!! Now it's just Ghost and Arya's run away wolf! I guess they're running out of production money for CGI direwolves?!

And HODOR NOOOO WTF I AM HEARTBROKEN! STUPID BRAN YOU DONE F***** UP SON!

this seems appropriate...



and poor Yara...Theon came back and effed things up... Now, they have no home.

Hodor

This is hilarious


But
Omg this episode is called The Door and my heart just broke a little more 

tgortney

Apparently, this guy predicted it back in 2008!!

JoMunson

My heart!! 

tgortney

Me right now

Charissadeats

@tgortney I am so glad I did not open this before watching it just now. Frickn Summer! And Hodor. I actually thought they were going to kill him off 'cause I saw everyone was sad and it made sense. Poor baby. And the reason why he was like that broke me. 

LadySamLady

I think Hodor's story is some of the most brilliant writing in the whole series. And his life is weirdly beautiful, that he lived it knowing he had
this one specific purpose.

but maybe that's the pp hormones talking...

To me it made so much more sense as to why he's so loyal to Bran and why he freaks out at such loud noises- he knew his life's purpose and had seen his death, but didn't understand it.

I haven't cried that hard at GOT in a long while... Maybe ever. Brilliant episode that just broke my heart.

Jparke2

SOBBED at the Hodor stuff, omg. Thank god my husband had left the house while I was watching it or he would have been alarmed. Poor Hodor. Loved the explanation though, really interesting 

tgortney

My co workers and I talk about GOT every Monday but since I'm not at work right now. I got this in the mail today  

Bellodomani

Ohhhhh shiiiiiiiit!!!! (is basically all I can say after tonight's episode). That episode was so incredibly visceral, I feel like I spent the entire hour in a nonstop cringe. And can I get an amen for Ramsey Bolton finally dying?!

TXmamatobe

The battle scene was on point!!

JessicaB0627

@Bellodomani I am so happy with how that ended!

tgortney

I have a theory that I think Little Finger was behind this WHOLE thing. 

He knew how awful Ramsey was. He married Sansa to him so there would be a greater reason for her to seek revenge on the Boltons (besides killing her brother and mother). He probably convinced the Umbers to give Rickon to Ramsey, as a catalyst for the battle. He wanted to look like the guy that saved day and show Sansa she still needed him. So the outcomes he probably wanted was: Starks reclaim winterfell, Sansa rewards him by marriage (and sex), and he becomes Lord of Winterfell because she's technically the only Stark left (unless Bran returns). 

Therefore, getting to marry the daughter of the only woman he's ever loved and sought revenge on/owning House Stark because of what Brandon Stark did to him (a dual for Catelyn's love, Little finger lost). Just piecing it together because I've listened to the history and lore of GOT. So it made a lot of sense.

LadySamLady

Loved last nights ep! Sansa's gotta be pregnant with Ramsey's baby, right?

OMG! When Ramesy said something about him being part of her, I was like NO WAY PLEASE DONT SAY SHE'S PREGNANT

Charissadeats

I don't know how I feel about the episode... 

Poor Wun Wun. BFG did not have to die. Just glad my favourite ginger is still alive 'cause him and Brienne needs to get together and have cute (big) babies. 

And I really hope Sansa is not pregnant @LadySamLady although she probably is.

They probably ran out of CGI money for Giants like they did with direwolves lol plus, he served his purpose. Still, poor wun wun at least no important good guys died this episode (maybe Rickon, but that's questionable, he wasn't important to the plot)

Charissadeats

@tgortney I wasn't sad for Rickon - because he hasn't been a major character for such a long time (if ever). Although I was seriously hoping for a Stark sibling reunion (minus Rob of course). Still hoping that happens though!! 

jenl1681

Loved the episode!! I'm really glad they improved Sansa's story line for the show and she is proving to be a great character. I was so thrilled when the Erie's army came riding in, and I totally agree that Littlefinger planned this all for the start!

kami09

Didn't read through the thread...but I stopped watching after my favorite, The Hound, was killed. I do that from time to time. Get pissed and stop watching (I'm looking at your Sons of Anarchy)

but it my niece texted me and said he's back?!?!? I've missed so much!!!!

He came back episode 7 this season, I'm hoping it's worth it bringing him back. Perhaps a Hound Arya reunion?!? 



Just throwing it out there, poor Gendry is still rowing.

You definitely need to catch up! This season has been really good! And yes, the hound is back but we haven't really seen where his story line is going yet. 

Bellodomani

The hound is back and kicking major ass!

tgortney

Pretty sure some major shit is gonna go down in the finale. Just because fans got some great satisfaction this episode means that next episode, our hearts will be broken because it's GOT...

oh oh and can we talk about the first 15 minutes of the episode where Dany showed how badass she is? And Tyrions epic words to that Master? Finally the dragons are doing SOMETHING!

Hey, maybe that's where the direwolf and Giants CGI money went, to more dragon time this season
