Such a lust for revenge

I got sick of the (usually) Land Cruiser drivers shining their lights full beam into my car to get me to move even when I was going at, or maybe above, the limit (this seriously happens all the fucking time in Qatar). So I decided to take petty revenge one time. I slowed down to annoy this one guy, speeding up when he tried to undertake me, and pretending like I was going to get out of his way by signalling right, moving slightly, and then going back on myself. When I did eventually move - I had to exit - he veered to the right as if he was going to ram into me, then pulled away at like 150 or something. Dude was mad.

I'm not proud of it because it was risky and dumb but it was pretty funny

"When enough people make false promises, words stop meaning anything. Then there are no more answers, only better and better lies."

Felt like such a relevant line. Unexpectedly so for this show, in this season.

Great line. I think the only way to pay off that asinine wight plot is if the nobles of Westeros overthrow Cersei, realizing that she's full of shit, and seek someone who can tell the truth.

That is not going to be what happens, considering that all the lords Jaime was talking to were obvious redshirts, and only characters with names can do anything in this show.

Also!

Remember last year when Lyanna whispered to Ned and a lot of it was cut out? It makes a hell of a lot more sense now why they would do that. I also thought it was a weird choice, to reveal R+L=J but to then not reveal what Lyanna said. It left the actual confirmation of R+L=J a little bit more vague than perhaps it should have been, but now them doing that makes a lot more sense.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but I saw a theory for Tyrion's weird actions this episode that seems to line up (it's really dumb, but I think it probably is what the writers were going for).

The idea is that Tyrion wants to have "both sides" win by making Dany queen and then having Cersei's child take over afterwards since Dany can't have kids, thus appeasing the other Lannisters. This would explain why he was asked about who would rule after Dany an episode or two ago, why he was creepily standing outside the incest cabin, and add relevance to Jon's questioning of whether or not Dany was actually unable to have kids.

Of course, for this to obey all of the Chekhov's guns it would also require Jon to impregnate Dany, which would be the worst plot development yet.

Haha damn I just came back into the topic to say I saw a post on the TV board that caught my eye.

laszlo_olzsal posted...

you all are underestimating the importance of Tyrion's meeting with Cersei.

if he believes Cersei's pregnant, he may have promised her something regarding succession that Dany is unaware of.

this makes his creepy hanging around outside Dany's cabin door while she and Jon are having sex that much creepier, LOL.

I even said in my long post that for as much as I thought that scene was absolutely excellent, the ending of it was a bit jarring and I wanted it to go for a good while longer. But it cutting where it did makes a lot of sense if you go with this theory!

Tormund is not dead, and he has a lot of plot armor because he can't be replaced. Early seasons (and the book) are good because there are so many damn characters when one dies, their role can still be fulfilled.

Tormund is effectively the last of the wildlings outside of Gilly. Sure, there were scrubs with him at the wall, but all the named wildlings are dead and have been dead for some time. If Tormund dies, then Jon's whole martyrdom of letting the wildlings in doesn't mean anything because they just all died anyway. They are also gearing up for the big battle to be "everyone" vs the undead (outside of Cersei). They need a wildling contingent there for that to occur, and they aren't going to be like "wow look at all these people, you have a Lannister, Starks, Greyjoys, Targaryens, uh this random wildling extra we found, the Vale, etc all fighting together!".

Once they stopped giving us extra wildling characters to meet and talk to, Tormund has been basically untouchable.

Hm, this is good logic I guess. Should have shown him escaping in that case.

I think my favorite part of the episode was Cersei lying about joining forces, and the Euron/Iron Bank reveal. The show would have been a lot more boring if it was just everyone vs. the White Walkers.

Yeah I like this a lot. People were saying in these topics last year that Cersei would die this season and that she wouldn't have any role in the endgame and I thought that was nuts and would be a crying shame. It would have been too neat, just like if the ending is Jon and Dany as king and queen living happily ever after that would be too neat. Having two seasons to conclude the story and those seasons being neatly split into Cersei and then The Dead would have been very convenient.

The entirety of East watch and a good section of the wall was blown the fuck up. I'm presuming they meant that to be his death.

I both do and don't want him to be dead. I mean, it's not a great death and it is somewhat ambiguous, but after the Hound and the general lack of the writers being douchebags for the last two seasons (Bronn arguably should have died in episode 4, and Tormund himself could, perhaps should, have died in 6) in terms of killing off fan favourites I feel like they can't pull that shit again. But then I wouldn't complain if we got more Tormund.

Such a lust for revenge

I found that pretty compelling

Euron just fucking off was hilarious, but that line - "this terrifies me" did seem a bit forced. But apparently that was intentional, which is even more hilarious. Euron a 32433/10 character as always. Although I was confused by the way he immediately confronted Tyrion and Theon like that (I laughed hard at Jaime's "I don't know" why shrug to Tyrion though. Great little bit of comic timing by NCJ). The Hound immediately confronting Gregor was equally unnecessary. I think the feelings at play there could have been conveyed without dialogue.

I like how Jon was Aegon until I was reminded by this topic that Rhaegar's son with Elia was Aegon. Though it is possible that was never mentioned in the show, in which case the kids of Rhaegar and Elia could have different names. Mental gymnastics, I know, but there we are. Oberyn was the one who talked about those kids the most and I'm positive he never mentioned them. Or Elia came up with the name herself in honour of Rhaegar's family or in memory of the dead kid. There are a variety of explanations, none of them particularly strong.

There are logistical problems with the whole Sansa/Arya/LF deal but I like the way it was presented at least. I can buy that LF wasn't totally convinced of Bran's power or not aware of the actual depth of it. In all honesty, Bran just quoting something back at LF is not in itself evidence that Bran can see everything. LF would have been unsettled by it, but I don't see how LF would immediately know from that that Bran can see everything and would plan for his omniscience. I don't think this was about turning the Stark girls against each other but by bringing Sansa closer to his trust, making himself his only confidant (which is kind of what he did to Lysa).

I actually said "ugh, bitch" when Cersei told Jaime she wasn't marching north. I should have seen it coming but alas. Great scene though. Being manipulated by Cersei is another L for Tyrion, hope he stops taking those in the final season.

Speaking of which I thought the scene with Cersei/Tyrion was electrifying - I could have seen it go for another 10 minutes and I was actually a little bit jarred by the way that scene ended.

Jon/Theon scene was also really great.

Sam/Bran was more than a little bit contrived. I liked the directing but it seemed off to me that Bran would immediately tell Sam something that he hadn't yet even told Sansa or Arya.

Like last episode, I liked a lot of the conversations early on but they seemed forced and there was probably a couple too many. I liked all the pairings, but the writers/editors needed to kill their darlings with that. You don't need Tyrion and Pod and then Tyrion, Pod and Bronn, for example. Too much of a good thin;g.

Dragonpit scene was great though. The awkwardness and the intertwining relationships gave the whole thing so much underlying meaning.

Tormund dying like that FUCKING SUCKED. FUCK OFF.

Immensely satisfying episode that lacked the logistical issues of episode 6 - still had some, just a few less. I felt it set up enough stuff and I'm interested in how this is all going to unravel in Season 8. Though I struggle with exactly how they plan to wrap it all up in 6 episodes.


Last thing:

This has probably already been said, or might just be reading way too much into stuff, but to me Jon's speech about lies and how they become more attractive than truth etc seemed to be a comment on Trump and the whole fake news era. Maybe it was just the honour of that character, but that speech especially stood out to me as particularly and deliberately relevant.

This probably isn't really a fair thing for which to assign blame to Trump, but of course this would happen:
https://twitter.com/danpfeiffer/status/901197915175010304

That's a very narrow minded look at it. In the long run, people and businesses PULLING OUT of Trump-owned spaces because of his handling of the rally has cost him more

I mean HIS KIDS, its cost HIS KIDS more, he's fully divested, surely! <_<

I know this is kind of throwaway but it does sum up the problem with this whole deal. This is the first mention of this in months. Trump absolutely still has a massive conflict of interest going on, doesn't he? That's still a thing. Nothing has really shown otherwise. Weren't those papers at his press conference (possibly) blank? But it feels like yesterday's news because he dominates the news cycle with other shit.

I hope there are legitimate journalists out there that are single-minded and actually focus on one or two of Trump's problems rather than this non-stop mess of crap so we can actually get some detailed degree of truth.

Haven't heard much about Russia for a while either, for instance. Certainly it's not the big story anymore. Which is unreal - three months ago the former director of the FBI was saying, under oath, that Russian tampering is absolutely a thing (whether Trump was involved or not).
