OFFICIAL GAME OF THRONES THREAD | HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Premieres 8.21.22 | OFFICIAL TRAILER REVEALED

[Ingenious Bastard]

There are waaaaaaaay too many main characters still alive after that episode.

Did the plot armor stick out like a sore thumb for anyone else ?

 

[Mark Antony]

Gotta rewatch tomorrow, was too sleepy to pay attention. All the major characters survived the great war they've been prepping for the entire series though? That's sucks, removes the weight of it.

 

[IATT]

NK never even pulled his damn sword

 

[Fozz]

I was disappointed with the episode. They teased Jon vs. Night King for the longest only for them to end it like that. C'mon now.

 

[ksteezy]

Fully expect something wild like the mountain rips Arya in half second half of this season.

Still got the Jamie / Tyrion vs Cersei story with Bronn as an outside factor.

Dany x Jon dialogue about their actual relationship now, intimate and blood wise. The right for the throne etc, i fully see Jon wanting no parts of it and conceding it to her.

The Golden Company x whatever is left of the North’s army.

Still got 2 Dragons. Drogon got pretty ****ed up too and Rhaegel gotta get his stamina up. Them boys are cooked come KL time, they haven’t been eating.

Clegane Bowl.

Sansa / Arya x cersei conflict.

There’s still some **** that needs to go down.

This episode was for life or death. The remaining episodes are for dynasties to come and the right to who rules now a world that needs to be rebuilt

Nah no way Arya bites the dust after this episode, they just made her into the MVP of the series...made Jon look lame for the first time, lowkey Jon been lame ever since he started simping for Dany..

 

[buddhashark]

Jon is Andy, Ghost is Woody, and Rhaelgal is Buzz.

 

[tigo0240]

Jon's war was with the NK, D&D wrote themselves into that corner.

Now his purpose is murky. Literally no one thinks he wants the iron throne.

 

[d3si]

This scene was the first part that impressed me about NK

 

[sb]

Battle of Bastards though

winds of winter is the best well rounded episode. so much going on from start to finish.

[Ingenious Bastard]

Yo.....Did those generals with the slick back perms even do anything ?

I swear they didn't even swing a sword this episode.

 

[sb]

I don't think so. From the Inside The Episode. It sounded like they wanted Arya to make the killing blow only a few years ago.

Another example as to why we all might be over thinking things.

arya is grimms wifes favorite character...

 

[carver]

Night Fraud wasn't fighting a 1v1. You saw when it was just him and Jon he had to re-up on his backup. He wasn't letting anyone near him. You needed a sneaky assassin like Arya who has been training for 7 season at this ****. She was the only one capable enough to get close to that fruad and end him. Scary dude but when **** get real he ain't really fighting like that

 

[ksteezy]

This episode was perfect she some weight and give a lot of these characters a good warriors send off...Greyworm, Brienne, Pod, should have all caught the fade the way Jorah did.

Varys should have died in the crypts, hell even Sansa and Tyrion tbh....dudes still have all their starters, lost a couple of bench players only..

Backup dancers.

They had their time to shine in Hardhome.

Yeah thats one of my favorite episodes. I think we we were comparing battle episodes though

 

[red81]

One thing this show doesn't enough props for is their execution of the dragons. Most of the dragon scenes are so damn smooth. Even trivial scenes like Jon Snow landing on the battlements of Winterfell with Rhaegal to scope out the scene are so seamless. We're so used to seeing the dragons that it seems most people rarely stop to enjoy them.

 

[atlsfinest]

Totally putting this episode aside for one post...

Two big gripes I have with this last season are:

- Sansa being treated as some kind of legitimate threat/leader
- Daenerys all of a sudden being given "Mad Queen" vibes, heavy-handedly.

Dany has been giving off Mad Queen vibes for awhile now.

- Tyrion had to talk her down from just flying into King's Landing and killing everyone with her dragons

- her choosing to kill the Tarleys (as opposed to showing some kind of diplomacy or tact) because they wouldn't bend the knee

There are other examples as well. She's been power-hungry since the beginning.

You more than likely were saying the same thing “No way Jon bites the dust” after Hardhome... just to come back and get gutted by Ollie

Everyone is acting as if just cause people didn’t die today means they won’t die in the future. We should know better by now

 

[ksteezy]

Jon before Dany would have been in those front lines next leading charge with Jorah, Jon after Dany, takes joy rides for 60% of the episode...

Nah these showrunners ain’t about that, they didn’t kill off a bunch of characters they should have this episode, they not gonna prop up Arya tonight the way they did to kill her off in a cheap way next week...Jon got poked up becsuse they knew they were bringing him back...

Dudes in here were crying about the cgi last weeks episode
