Dont think its top tier for the show overall, but I liked it a bit better than last week since we had more time with specific characters instead of jumping around trying to get everyone in. (I realize they had to do that for a season oper and this was probably goodbye for a handful of people in the north.)
Yup. Still a lot of nothing in 2 episodes of a short season.
When the 3 from the watch were talking on the wall. Ghost was chilling there like he's been there the whole time.
Kind of midway through the episode he was in the background when jon was talking to someone. Samwell maybe.
Gotta get to the point where Cersei attacks the leftovers soon too. I would assume Ep6 is a bit of a wrap up episode, so not sure how long a battle with the dead can go.
Yeah. No shock or awe....just basically wrapping up the stories of good characters.
Damn. If after 7ish seasons you think that was "a lot of nothing", I think you might be watching the wrong show. I realize the writing is not as top-tier as it was the first 4-5 seasons, which means the slower scenes aren't as fulfilling, but it still isn't supposed to be The Walking Dead.
Exactly. My instant reaction is that this will go down as a fan favorite episodes for the series. This was our good bye to several characters.
Lol
Eh it kinda seemed like if he really wanted to wipe them out entirely he could have, but I guess if they are totally allergic to water or whatever then they got away. She’s probably reading too much into it.
Any other major characters going here? I think they pare down the secondary awesome characters a bit to leave the primary players for the final battle w cersei
This kind of episode or chapter or act before the big battle is a staple of storytelling. The warriors tell their stories, sometimes make their peace, and sing their songs.
Would be interesting to see winterfell get swamped and Cersei's new army is all that's left, but man what a waste. Maybe if this ended like Clue and they had 3 alternate endings or something
I agree with this, although I do expect some major characters to die next week. This idea that they "are all going to die" is nuts. No way did they set this up to just have them all die in one episode next week.
Lolz
Everyone bored by tonight will be rewatching it forever after most of them die next week. My wife included.
For all the fun we've had guessing.... I still have no idea where the endgame is. I can come with a ton of possibilities though.
When she trained with the faceless men she used a staff almost exclusively. Seems more realistic than having her go to town with Needle, especially since it was "castle forged steel".
I had figured she'd be the one to kill him... Put on a TWD whisperers outfit and blend in.
my wife seems to think it happened when Jon saw him get the baby from the wildling creepy guy
The wife asking about the Knight King sparing John had me thinking he backs him to defeat cersei.... For some reason that doesn't make sense.
It makes sense for sure.
I know you enjoyed all the chit chat and characters reminiscing but keep in mind...
