Re: Game of Thrones // S7E6 // spoiler warning
Fav moment? I don't even think I have one.
least fav moment? The Arya stuff. Unless this is some long con, and she just wants Sansa to understand what's happened when she kills Littlefinger and takes his face....so dumb
care to power rank the dumb decisions of this ep? Yes:
- The entire mission to go north of the wall to catch a white walker when white walkers shouldn't even be able to cross back through the wall (e.g., Cold Hands/Benjen can't come back through; the whites that have been south of the wall turned south of the wall)
- That Arya and Sansa care at all about this letter when Rob/Catlyn didn't believe it and publicly said so. The bannermen know this. They know how child prisoners work in Westeros.
- How on earth did they have any idea that Gendry was "the fastest"? How did Gendry even know where to run to? How did he guide Dany to where they are? I mean, did she fly around for a while looking?
- Yes, those dudes were on that rock for like 12-18 hours, but I'm supposed to believe that was enough time for Gendry to run back to the wall, send a raven, the raven to flight to Dragonstone, Dany to fly up to the wall (but also her BOATS TO SAIL up to the wall), and Dany to find them north of the wall?
- Seriously. Only Thoros died? Seriously?
- Sansa sent Brienne South and Brienne listened? She's sworn to protect the girls, not serve them.
- No one wanted to check in with Bran at all this episode? Didn't think it might be helpful?
- Didn't want to make more knives and swords out of that dragon glass y'all were mining? Rully?
- They killed that one general of the night king and all those wights died except.........for one? Just the one? How convenient. And then they spend all episode protecting it when....there are literally thousands....they could choose from.... that are attacking them.... including Thoros? They could've just not burned Thoros and brought him with them.
who won the week? the night kingwho lost the week? all the humans
Care to weigh in on why anyone still cares what Cersei thinks? this whole thing is so dumb. Like, is their end goal to actually get Cersei on their side so they can use her giant crossbow machine to now kill the white walker dragon? Like, just torch her. WTAF. I'm really annoyed that the writers are arbitrarily choosing plot points they like (dragons north of the wall; Clegane bowl) and then very rushedly getting the chess pieces where they need to be for that to happen. There's no more character development. Characters are doing things completely out of character. It makes no sense. I'm very annoyed. Like, obviously they never actually wanted the wight to convince Cersei, it was always about Dany seeing it for herself, but now they have to still pretend to care, and it's so stupid.
Predictions? Clegane bowl next week. Team uses the scorpion/crossbow thing to try to kill the wight dragon with a dragon glass spear. Bran worgs the wight dragon, I guess. I hope Arya is playing a long con but IDK.
questions? too many questions but they're all rhetorical. As a book reader I'm so effing bummed, guys. Even the dragons north of the wall stuff was lame because they kept showing fire instead of dragons, presumably because of budget, but I'm just really annoyed. Sigh.
Fav moment? I (mostly) liked the banter between the 7 warriors while they were north of the wall.
least fav moment? I mean, the Arya/Sansa stuff bothers me. On the one hand it's natural that the sisters have some tension, but all Arya had to do was mention Littlefinger sneaking around with that note and Sansa would have been on to that plan. the deus ex-dragona and the entire timing thing which is ridiculous.
care to power rank the dumb decisions of this ep?
1. The Hound throwing that rock. (Although, the first rock was kind of funny).
2. The entire hair-brained scheme of collecting a zombie sample.
3. The weapon choices among the party - why wasn't everyone carrying dragon glass at all times?
4. Sansa deciding to be the worst detective ever.
Idk, there are probably more.
who won the week? The Night King.
who lost the week? Pretty much all of Westeros because now the Night King has a zombie dragon.
Care to weigh in on why anyone still cares what cersei thinks? I have no idea. Seems like they should just melt the castle where Cersei always hangs out and deal with the rest of it later.
Predictions? Although it was a bad tactical decision, I actually thought Sansa may have sent Brienne away to protect Arya. I am hoping this signals that the sisters are about to reconcile and team up against Littlefinger, whose face Arya will then wear to keep the Lords at bay.
questions? Where did the Night King learn to through a javelin like that?
also, none of those dudes thought it might be good to cuddle up around Beric and Thoros's flaming swords to keep warm?
Fav moment? Dany and Jon tenderly holding hands. And him calling her "My Queen" Smash. Your. Nephew!
least fav moment? agreed with @doxiemoxie212 and @zamora_spin -- This Arya/Sansa nonsense has got to go. The smartest thing Sansa's ever said is how Cersei would love to see them arguing like this.
care to power rank the dumb decisions of this ep?
-The timing of this season is redic.. Like do they have wifi now? Or are the Ravens just fast AF
-Ok but can someone tell me how the white walkers, who clearly can't even step foot in the water, just magically dove down like Navy f-ing Seals and pulled the dragon out with chains??
-When did night king become an Olympic Javelin thrower??
-Agreed about the Bran consult.
-Why didn't Jon just climb on the dragon ASAP? They could have flown out of there real quick and no dragon lives would have been lost. Was he just trying to impress his girl??
who won the week? Night king, obtaining zombie dragon is a huge win. Do you think he's gonna breath ice!?
who lost the week? Never been more annoyed with Arya. So unless she's got something else up her sleeve, and she's not fallen victim to the wicked manipulation of Littlefinger, she lost in my eyes.
Predictions? She can redeem herself by killing Littlefinger and wearing his face
questions? Is Dany def not able to have children? Like how does she know for sure?
this pic gave me a laugh.

1. If they needed a wight, why didn't dany or jon or someone just ride a damn dragon north and grab one instead of sending a party of like 10 past the wall to attack a GIANT EFFING ARMY and try to steal one? Anyone think of that?
who won the week?
Night King? Littlefinger?
who lost the week?
The dragon, obviously
Care to weigh in on why anyone still cares what cersei thinks?
You mean like the nobles or the poor people? The poor people because she will literally kill them.
Predictions? Jon and Dany are gonna fall in love....and I don't know how I feel about that. THATS YOUR AUNT, BRO

like @kiwi2628 I like Tormund talking w/the Hound about Brienne. I mean I didn't hate the final scene between Dany and Jon (they don't know they're related), but poor Jorah, does he finally realize that he is firmly in the friend zone?
least fav moment?
What the hell are they doing to Arya and her character. i hate it hate it hate it. I am really hoping this is some long con.
care to power rank the dumb decisions of this ep?
Is it even possible. this whole thing was dumb
@doxiemoxie212 my DH said the same thing about Dany finding them.
who won the week?
The night king
who lost the week?
the realm of men
Care to weigh in on why anyone still cares what cersei thinks? no, I really don't understand why anyone would care what she thinks, this whole plan was just so dumb.
Predictions? well, I thought more people would did this episode, for a show that is known for killing off characters they haven't killed off many noteworthy ones this season. I'm guessing there will be some deaths next week?
questions?
everyone can just ride a dragon like it is a city bus?
@doxiemoxie212 & @zamora_spin I agree with so much of what both of you said. Also, Zamora_spin I remember hearing the same thing on the binge mode podcast about the dragons and being whatever sex they need to be at the time.
@looeeze I'm glad you came to share your GoT thoughts with us!

Fav moment? The back and forth with the white walker hunting party
least fav moment? When the dragon died
care to power rank the dumb decisions of this ep?
- as others mentioned the timing....did they send a text or a raven? Can they teleport now?
- How was the idea to capture a white walker a good idea? They couldn't take out the one bear how were they going to take on a whole army?!
who won the week? The night king hands down
who lost the week? Everyone who is not a white walker/night king
Care to weigh in on why anyone still cares what cersei thinks? They should off her and be done with it.
Predictions? I think next week will be back all about Cersei and convincing her about the white walkers
questions?
how would you rate rate this episode? Lame. Like, a 2... maybe a 3 if I'm being generous. But then, I've always disliked the north of the wall stuff.
Fav moment? I don't think I have one. Really. I guess I'll go with Tormund, because him surviving and making it back to Brienne is pretty much the only thing I liked about this episode.
least fav moment? Every other minute of the episode.
care to power rank the dumb decisions of this ep?
Okay, maybe not power rank, but more stream of consciousness complaints.
First, a general gripe not strictly related to this episode - One of my biggest pet peeves about the books is that the Starks are so f'ing stupid when it comes to listening to their direwolves. You people have direwolves who try to warn you before bad shit happens. WHY DON'T YOU LISTEN!?! As frustrating as it is in the books, the virtual nonexistence of direwolves in the series is more frustrating. You seriously want me to believe that Jon went north of the wall and left Ghost behind? Also, Bran's a worg, so he of all people knows the strength of his bond with Summer, but no, it's cool, let's just leave him to die. I'm sure he'll reappear in a later episode as a zombie wolf. Wtf ever.
This episode:
- I get that you feel like you need to kill a dragon, but really...really? That is how it happens? Forget the Night King having the aim of the century, why the f would an ice javelin kill a dragon in the first place? How is that even logical? Last time I checked, fire melts ice. Why wouldn't the dragon's body melt the ice sword before it caused real damage? Also, while he hit the dragon on the first shot, it's not like it hit him in the middle of the chest or anything. Last point, it's an ice sword. Don't dragons have scales/body armor? Wouldn't the ice javelin be more likely to shatter on impact than pierce right through a dragon? Maybe I'm just irrationally sad about the dragon death.
- Okay, off the dragon. As others have pointed out... You know you need dragonglass. You're mining it. You plan on going north of the wall. Why don't you have more of it with you??? Why don't you have dragon glass arrows that you can shoot at the white walkers from a distance? It seems to me that that might have been incredibly useful when you all hung out on a rock for 16 hours and the Night King just chilled 200 feet away.
- Arya annoys me. I feel like I was soooo much more interested in her character development in the books. I genuinely liked her in the books. I cannot stand her in the series.
- I completely agree on the Bran point. It's in line with people just obtusely ignoring their available information resources.
who won the week? Night king, obviously. Annoyingly.
who lost the week? Honestly, I really feel like it's Sansa. She's an idiot.
Care to weigh in on why anyone still cares what cersei thinks? No. I hate Cersei. I don't understand how Jamie hasn't murdered her himself yet. Dude...she blew up the sept with hundreds of people in it. She is directly responsible for the death of your last kid! She's clearly bat shit crazy. What makes him think she's not going to turn on him the first time he toes out of line?
Predictions?
No, I don't even know what to think anymore. My only prediction is that Cersei tries to slaughter everyone at this little summit she's holding, but that's par for the course, so it's not much of a prediction.
questions?
Yes. Why hasn't Bran told anyone who Jon is? For that matter, do we really believe the Ned never told ANYONE that this random kid he comes back to Winterfell with wasn't actually his? Wasn't Littlefinger's big point that Ned was too trusting? He had to have told someone.
