Well I'm pretty sure he's Irish.If this was dark then you haven't seen episode 3.
Still makes fcuk all sense to torch the whole city. It just doesn’t.
Definitely started by one of our supporters.
Everyone talks about how intransigent the Boomer generation have been to the prospect of societal change, but if the recent reactions to the likes of Ghostbusters, Star Wars and this prove anything, it’s that the “nerd” generation are going to prove a much bigger and more infuriating obstacle when they become the heavyweight political majority. God help our children...Nerds and their ceaseless entitlement.

This is what i'm predicting... the first part anywayAre we saying that the series dispelled the idea that Jon couldn't be killed by fire because that wouldn't been a cool way to end the series.
She's lost it, he goes against her, Drogon steps in and tries to flame grill him only for him to walk right through it. Everyone sees it, declares him the king, Drogon bites his head off instead. Excellent plotting and a classic got shock ending all in one.
Bingo. It's the main reason why i became a fan of the show.This this this. They made a conscious decision to omit a load of interesting stuff and alter a load of other interesting stuff. Post season 4 they deliberately pandered to what they believed were fan expectations, not understanding that it was the show’s defiance of those expectations which made it so intriguing in the first place. The original material they introduced in the first four seasons proves that they can write well when they feel like it, so the only conclusion to be drawn is that they lost interest in the show after season 4.
And then Arya flies in out of nowhere to kill Ghost because he was the last white walker.Are we saying that the series dispelled the idea that Jon couldn't be killed by fire because that wouldn't been a cool way to end the series.

Nah man, it was sexist cause none of the blokes on TV wear makeup EVER. Except every single bloke who has ever been on TV. Hell, even I had to do it for some shite on BBC Three ten years ago.There was a 2 page discussion on Dany and her lack of make-up and how that was the wrong way to portray possible mental illness.
I think...
Surely the issues here differ though, wherein whereas a lot of the complaints concerning the new Star Wars were incredibly misogynistic and problematic, here we've seen a lot of genuine complaints about plotting? Like...I get it's a fantasy show and all, but it's always marketed itself as a fairly serious and (somewhat) mature drama, one that's swept up Emmy awards and the like against strong competition. If you've invested in said show for a long time, then I don't think it's unfair to point out that a lot of the plotting is invariably absolute nonsense when you actually apply any thought to it. People would've done the same for Breaking Bad had it descended into the same silliness. Or The Sopranos. Or any other major drama. Granted, I reckon that despite its ambition Thrones at its best was probably too patchy to ever be considered among the best dramas, but I'd say it was undoubtedly very good. And it's not ridiculous to the point out that the quality of the show has decreased drastically in the last two seasons.Everyone talks about how intransigent the Boomer generation have been to the prospect of societal change, but if the recent reactions to the likes of Ghostbusters, Star Wars and this prove anything, it’s that the “nerd” generation are going to prove a much bigger and more infuriating obstacle when they become the heavyweight political majority.

Outside of Dorne (where it relates to Elia) what is your evidence for this claim?There are definitely people alive with nostalgic memories of better times under Targaryen reign.
He kept peace for the entirety of his rule.Robert Baratheon was an underrated king
Did you report this? So we can kill them with fire.I was planning on watching all six episodes on Sunday, having been avoiding spoilers like a fecking ninja(except for some cnut in the mains asking for a gif of Arya killing you know who), but decided to just say feck it and watch the first 5 episodes now and watch the last episode with everyone else.
Now that I’m not avoiding everything got related, I can see the internet has done its thing and went full muppet. Very glad to have missed all the drama.
Watching from the start all the way through over the last couple of weeks, it’s so obvious when they ran out of book material. Feels a little rushed in parts, but I’ve enjoyed it for it was. Will be sad to see it go.
I'm not a fan of Bran per se. I'm a Stark fan. I’m not a big fan of his character. He’s that uncle who sits in the corner at Christmas Zonked out but stirs things up with a throwaway statement that reveals won of the family’s hidden secrets.You Bran fans, or Frans as you shall now be known, need to accept your boy is entirely pointless and may as well not be in it.
The final episode?What are they watching?
I didn’t. Just stopped reading quick and killed my browser. Couldn’t tell you who it was or even what thread.Did you report this? So we can kill them with fire.
A few things I expect to see in the final episode
1) Bran warging into someone or something - possibly a dragon
2) Arya killing someone with her face changing trick
3) Jon vs Danyrs for the throne - directly or indirectly
4) Some even more main characters getting their marching orders
It will be interesting if we see Sam, Bron or Brienne again.
Stop. Please. No moreThe more I think about how Jaime's arc ended the more annoyed I get. I mean, sure, they emphasised that the only thing he really cared about is Cersei but then what was all the crap about the White Book of the Kingsguard where he told Joffrey that there was still time to add to his page of accomplishments? They butchered his character after setting him up really well - even after the books had ended. Hell, they made him charge a fecking dragon last season.
And was shit overall despite him being a big part of wiping out major characters from danys sideRe Jaime. He killed one of the main baddies. It’s just that said main baddie was a bit lame, mainly because he was a relatively recent arrival.
Dunno what you mean “shit overall”. He ended up a bit of a broken, kind of pathetic, man but that was plausible. Being reminded he threws some kid out of a window, letting his brother sacrifice himself, so he can sneak off to try and bang his sister. That stuff can’t be good for your self esteem. Which he made explicit in his last exchange with Brienne.And was shit overall despite him being a big part of wiping out major characters from danys side
We need to stop the face using theories now. It's had its time.Arya to sit on the throne with Dany’s face?
The prediction that no one will end up on the Iron Throne proving correct.
Ok sorryWe need to stop the face using theories now. It's had its time.
apologies. We will probably see one now that I've said thatOk sorry
He just 'somehow' gets away. Imagine D&D explaining that.The scene between Jaime and Euron could have made more sense of Euron saw him and Cersei embracing him and Cersei mentioning the child is Jaimes not Eurons.
Euron having suffered a fatal would knocks out Jaime cold and ties him up or something whilst he chokes Cersei to death (thus fulfilling the Valonquar prophecy).
Then Jaime somehow gets free and he n Euron have a fight to the death. Not great but plot wise makes more sense.
Or even opposite way round - Jaime sees Euron embrace Cersei and mentions the child and implies no it is his and Even though it is really Jaimes in his rage he kills Euron and Cersei (by choking her).
Arya arrives on the scene to see Cersei has already been killed and runs back to where the Mountain and Hound were fighting, the Mountain is getting the better of both of them and is about to kill Arya only for Hound to sacrifice his life and push the Mountain and himself off the building and fall into the fire (cue emotional scene).
She's gone mad. By definition, it can't make sense.Still makes fcuk all sense to torch the whole city. It just doesn’t.
It wouldn’t be a massive coincidence as Euron after escaping Danys attack would naturally want to head back to Cersei as she supposedly is pregnant with his baby and Jaime likewise wants to get back to her so it isn’t as contrived as you’d think.He just 'somehow' gets away. Imagine D&D explaining that.
If it played out like that we'd have complaints about the massive coincidence that brought them all together in that moment.
That would be more cheesy and cliched than anything we had seen this series.
She's gone mad. By definition, it can't make sense.
I do this too when I read a spoiler. Somehow hoping that if I'm fast enough it won't really enter my brain and the spoiler won't stick.I didn’t. Just stopped reading quick and killed my browser. Couldn’t tell you who it was or even what thread.
Euron arrives at the precise moment Cersei confesses the child is Jaime's?It wouldn’t be a massive coincidence as Euron after escaping Danys attack would naturally want to head back to Cersei as she supposedly is pregnant with his baby and Jaime likewise wants to get back to her so it isn’t as contrived as you’d think.
Makes a helluva lot more sense than Euron just fighting Jaime so he can he the man who killed Jaime Lannister or whatever it was they were trying to pull.
Oh, I meant the main villain he killed being shit (Euron). Jaime taking him out might have been awesome if Euron wasnt written like a jobber who had big actions.Dunno what you mean “shit overall”. He ended up a bit of a broken, kind of pathetic, man but that was plausible. Being reminded he threws some kid out of a window, letting his brother sacrifice himself, so he can sneak off to try and bang his sister. That stuff can’t be good for your self esteem. Which he made explicit in his last exchange with Brienne.
I wonder what they’ll all do when the books are finally released and turn out to be exactly the same. Can’t wait to be honest.
If we go by that logic, everything in every story ever is contrived in order to tell a story? all authors will contrive situations in order to convey a narrative.Euron arrives at the precise moment Cersei confesses the child is Jaime's?
Then the heartless killing machine decides to inexplicably tie Jaime up instead of just killing him there and then? And why is Cersei doing nothing during this exchange? Does she wait patiently while he ties up Jaime? Then Jaime somehow manages to escape his poorly tied bonds to exact revenge? Before neatly dying from his mortal wound that doesn't seem to have effected his ability to escape his bonds.
Or Jaime, who travelled the length of Westeros to be with the woman who tried to have him killed, and has loved her despite the many, many atrocities she's committed, decides in that moment to go against his character and kill her?
Sounds pretty contrived to me.
Re Jaime. He killed one of the main baddies. It’s just that said main baddie was a bit lame, mainly because he was a relatively recent arrival.
