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

[RustyShackleford]

Has Sansa proudly saying "I'd still be a little bird if I hadn't been raped/tortured" been discussed here yet?

No yet, but I was taken aback by that a little. It came off as "rape makes women stronger", and so it is somehow a net positive. I get the point they were trying to make but the writing was weird in that scene.

 

[Barbados Slim]

I mean she said if it weren't for those dudes she would still be a little bird. Not the rape and torture specifically.

Yeah, I understand that she's trying to say "I've been through so much; I'm a survivor who's been hardened by her experiences" but her smiling and talking about it as if it was some achievement was cringeworthy

 

[bruce negro]

I really wish they had evaluated fighting off the NK at the Eyrie. Maybe budget concerns got in the way of making that happen, but I think that was their best move and could have made the show a LOT more interesting.

Dany really doesn't give a @#$@ about the dragons dying Each time one has gone down, her reaction has been "mildly inconvenienced"

Yep

Especially since the Hound crudely mentions the rape specifically at the start of the convo. So it is like they wanted to prime audience to focus on that specific tragedic event.

Dany is a trash mother.

She knows they have tons more scorpions, but she brings Drogon anyway to the parlay.

She lucky Drogon got a Pernell Whitaker level bob-and-weave game.

**** made no sense. They shouldve sniped that soft *** lizard and ended the show

Thing was 300~ yards away and urine god is about that life

Westworld Season 2 > GOT final season so far.

Y'all dudes are DRUNK.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Westworld Season 2 > GOT final season so far.

I got minor issues with this season

But you tripping tripping right now

Westworld S2 was a convoluted mess.

 

[sfc415]

Only good parts of WW Season 2 were the Native American and Japanese episodes.

 

[buddhashark]

The time that people have had to dissect the books is a big reason for the show tanking. Everything that happens is perceived as being too fan servicey or it doesn’t play out the way people convinced themselves it would. We act like George wouldn’t have written some if this but we have no way of knowing how much came directly from him. R+L=J was always George’s end game. Would have been a much better reveal without the internet breaking it down for everyone.

 

[buddhashark]

WW S2 was great. Not as good as S1 but it’s still my top show on TV right now.

Those episode 5 and 6 spoilers

Yeah I’m not going out of my way to watch this trash show live. I’ll catch it later when I have nothing else to do. TRASH

The eyrie is too far south. NK would have possibly doubled his army


Look how far apart they are

Her life was also immediately in danger as well. Hard to process loss under those circumstances.

Stay out of the giant spoilers thread here in general

 

[macbk]

I mean there isn't anything they can do about it now, but it's just sad that it wasn't caught in TWO years time.

 

[equality]

For the people bashing the bashers of this season. it's not because we think the show is doing too much fan service. It's when you take 6-7 seasons of building up characters' personalities, you don't just break them out of character in a matter of minutes.

Cersei is the same demon who blew up the Tyrells which led to his son's suicide. The ***** is the definition of pure evil. And now you have this same devil looking at the brother she hates, and the same brother she believes killed his son, listening to his plea of surrender instead of drilling the fool with 1000 arrows. The ***** could've ended the whole thing right there.

Then you got a pointless banquet scene which sets up Jamie smashing Breanne, whose romance has been broiling for seasons. The same Jamie who ditched his sister and fought for the North, decided to stay despite knowing everyone's plans to go to war with Cersei, but suddenly turns into the old Jamie to go save his sister. Maybe he's plotting to kill her, maybe not, but this whole thing is so damn rushed.

 

[masagipatron]

Fam, we waited two years for a rushed season and a Starbucks white chocolate mocha on the table. We've been had, been took, been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray and run amuck.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

staying out of this thread...cause i know one of these weird *** ****** are going to drop spoilers if leaks really are out there

 

[Doom.]

It's preposterous!
