Tassifox 418 Posted May 6, 2019 This ep pretty much was what I expected with tiny "twists". I honestly figured this one was gonna be a, what I call, wind down episode after the Whitewalker battle. Reveal hidden contents -Gotta take care of all dem bodies. -Let's see how much of our armies just got demolished now that we've done the head count? -I laughed because 2 of my friends were betting that Sanza and Tyrion would bone. We get Brienne and Jaime instead which was pretty much predictable and poor Tormund gets his heart broken for all of 10 seconds. -I'm glad that Ayra turned down Gendry. I don't think she will ever think twice about that old life of a "lady" - Nobody can keep damn secrets. Especially Sanza. - Oh shi- one more dragon dead. -One more servant dead -Dany is seriously the most useless character here. I think the only smart thing she's done at this point is walk away after Melisandre getting head lopped off. Else that would have gone in an entirely different direction if her emotions took over.

Vic Boss 612 Posted May 6, 2019 S8E4 Reveal hidden contents - It's like 20 minutes of all the women twirling their vaghairs like they were villain mustaches, just waiting to see who gets dead'ed from poison first - Dohohohoooooooo, time for Brienne and Jaime to fuck and Tormund to burst in and then all three of them to fuck and then Bronn to burst in and then etc etc - Or maybe a competition (I'm not using the obvious pun) between Tormund and Podd to see who can repopulate the seven kingdoms faster - WHOA SANSA AND THE HOUND - Yoooo Gendry, Arya doesn't want to be a Lady - JUST FUCK ALREADY, BRAIME/JIENNE - Get the fuck out Jaime, twiddling with your shirt with your one good hand knowing Brienne will do it - Ya know, if the showrunners want to earn my GRRM style wrath, they'd have Bronn stick an arrow in one of them just as they're about to fuck - "I want it to be the way it was between us, 3 episodes ago" - Dany's lip twitches when Tyrion tries to force the plan into being "Get Cersei, leave King's Landing alone." Probably burn that fucker to the ground at this point - ... Is Arya gonna end up killing Dany? During the talk of laying seige to King's Landing, they kinda framed Arya with Sansa while she was arguing with Dany - "It's your choice." God dammit Bran (Jesus Christ the tension just went through the roof) - Don't tell them you idiot, being honest is what got Neddy deadied - BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THEY CUT AWAY BEFORE BRAN COULD SAY ANYTHING BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - Bronn saying Jaime couldn't do it on his best day, MAN - "What's double Riverrun." "Highgarden." And suddenly Bronn's listening - This fucker's gonna be sitting on the Iron THrone by the end of episode 6. - AHAHAHAHAHA HOUND AND ARYA RIDE AGAIN - Gosh darnit, Sansa, you swore to keep it to yourself - D'awwww, the Wildlings can go back beyond the wall again :') - Give the Wildlings Castle Black as a trading post - God dammit, Tormund and Jon hugging ;_; - Oh god, Sam just came up to Jon - Plz no - Sam's fucking bottom lip just trembled, I'm not gonna make it guys - Oh god Ghost. - Fucking leak in the ceiling or something dripping into my eyes. Fucking ceiling - Death Flags for Jon Snow (again) - I kind of feel like Cersei would set a trap and maybe burn down King's Landing herself to help take out Dany's side. - Holy shit the dragon suddenly getting ballista'ed - Well fuck me I guess, Cersei's master manipulator and going to let the other side burn down King's Landing and make themselves hated in the process - Somewhere Sansa is doing her lame white-girl celebration dance that the secret she kept is leading everyone to think about killing Dany - I dunno Jaime, I don't think you should be walking around Winterfell all normal-like, you're gonna get Ned Stark'ed - I like how everyone is saying the name of the Dragon Queen's translator as if it was a major deal that she got captured. - Ehhhhhhh, Brienne being the crying lover while Jaime's galloping away is kinda lame - They just panned from Varys to Grey Worm to Dany to Tyrion with the Unsullied ranks standing behind them and I counted 1 cock 2 ISO Share this post Link to post

She consistently fails to listen to people smarter than her, consistently pisses away both earned and unearned advantages needlessly, but also consistently does just enough to retain love and loyalty from people so we can do it all over again.

Mera'din 308 Posted May 7, 2019 Reveal hidden contents She DID lie to him. She's been pregnant since last season before they slept together. Kid is Jamie's. Probably half the reason he bailed from Winterfell since he knows there's no way in hell she gets to live after the news they got. Also the way I see this ending at this point is Cersei sitting alone upon the Iron Throne looking regal as fuck with her resting bitch face turned up to 11 while the city burns. The door will burst inward and Dany, Greyworm and Jamie will be falling over each other and tripping each other to get to her first. Meanwhile, Arya and the Hound roll up outside and they pull a Legolas/Gimli and the Hound yeets her through a window and she jumps on Cersei and buries that dagger in her throat.

Mera'din 308 Posted May 7, 2019 Reveal hidden contents I completely disagree (not with Anelle that reply wasn't there before I started writing. XD ). She's been holding her feelings in check for years. Even what she has felt on and off for Jamie she tucked away and stopped looking at. He basically forced that back out in the open and gave her everything she wanted and she was finally able to feel something that she wanted to feel for ages. What we normally see of her is her doing everything in her power to basically be what she sees as the perfect image of a knight. Strong, stoic, no nonsense, etc. She has to fight extra hard for that image because she's a woman, despite her size, and has learned to stick to it pretty hard, getting mocked pretty much the whole way regardless of her ability. And you have to think about the fact that they weren't together for like 2 days or whatever. The shows portrayal of time passage is garbage. It's likely been months since the Battle for Winterfell at this point. Just going from Winterfell to Whiteharbor (where their ships would be) is over 300 miles. Winterfell to King's Landing by way of the King's Road is something like nearly 1500 miles. Not sure about the distance by boat traveled but obviously it's a bit quicker. Then he pulls what is effectively a "It's not you, it's me." thing and leaves. She can't stop him. She can't go with him because of her oath to Sansa. The person she finally opened up to and let herself feel something is leaving and it's very unlikely he will come back. He looked like a guy going to his death and they both knew it. On top of that, she was alone and didn't have to save face to anyone. She probably would have held back if anyone else was around but they weren't and so we see what is not just heartbreak, but years (possibly decades) of holding shit in just come rushing out. Those emotions have a habit of feeding into each other especially when they've been held in check. It has more to do with her self-image than anything that's physically happening. The next time we see her she'll be "in character" again but ragged around the edges. If they carry on with the "weeping maiden" thing THEN I'll call bullshit. Even strong people break down too, especially when alone, but will pull themselves back together when they have to. You must know some pretty fucking jaded people if you don't think this is how real people work. >_> 2 ISO Share this post Link to post
Vic Boss 612 Posted May 7, 2019 Reveal hidden contents I can more easily buy it if we are talking about months or an extended length of time. The last two seasons have basically depicted everything in Westoros as only a sunday drive down the street (especially how many times Jon Snow and traveled between her coastal castle and the North/beyond The Wall), so it felt super silly that she would break down in tears because he gave her a two-(k)night stand (I am immensely proud of that one), especially when she didn't even lose it like that when he fucking Knighted her and made her lifelong dreams come true. Also with so few episodes left, I legit worry that the last we'll see Brienne involved in anything of consequence is her being the weeping maiden 1 ISO Share this post Link to post

Ulyster 35 Posted May 8, 2019 Reveal hidden contents I don't know. There are only 2 episodes left and a LOT has to happen in that time. I think Cleganebowl is going to happen, and that they BOTH die somehow. Greyworm will die after avenging Missandei. Daenerys is being set up as 'The Mad Queen', so she probably won't live for very long. Everybody in the North is, seemingly, safe. At this point, I'm not sure who is going to end up on The Iron Throne. Jon/Aegon has a history of being given the leaderships that he REALLY doesn't want, so it'll probably be him. My girlfriend did say as an offhand comment, that it's possible that no-one ends up on the Iron Throne, and they end up making a Council instead, with representatives from all the main houses. I'm not sure if I prefer that or not. 2 ISO Share this post Link to post
Mera'din 308 Posted May 8, 2019 Reveal hidden contents At this point I'm expecting Greyworm to go straight for the Mountain as soon as he gets the chance. Hound vs. Mountain seems like something they'll want to end up showing though so one or the other is going to get to him first and get fucked and then the other will finish the job. Seems more likely that Greyworm will go down at this point, though originally I had only seen one of the two dying between him and Missande. ISO Share this post Link to post

Nairn Smoith 73 Posted May 9, 2019 Reveal hidden contents *I was never a Cersei fan until Season 6 when she blew up the Sept. Watching the explosion from her window while sipping wine like a true villain was so satisfying. Ever since I've been sold on her being the true villain of the show. This season she is giving me Gus Fring-level villain vibes. She's in complete control and DGAF. Lena Headey is killing it. *The last Tyrion/Varys scene where they discuss betraying Dany was incredible. I think it was Varys' best scene in the entire show. *Ton of great acting in this episode. Jon's speech at the funeral. Dany begging for Jon to keep his mouth shut. Every Tormund line ("He's little...but he's stroooooong"). Grey Worm reacting to Missandei's death. Tyrion pleading for Cersei to surrender. The Hound and Sansa connecting one last time. Game of Thrones can still nail the character moments. *Someone please kill Euron immediately and brutally. He's the worst and not in a good way. *Ramin's score during the Funeral scene was stunning. One of the series' best songs. Ramin is this season's MVP. 3 ISO Share this post Link to post

They made a show of her practicing her archery - RIP Hound, back to the fire with your broski - If Cersei gets away and then has the baby, the baby can raise an army of foreign invaders and then cross the sea to take back what's their- nah TBH Reveal hidden contents It does bring me joy knowing Dany is (probably) the true final boss 1 ISO Share this post Link to post
