Game of Thrones-Observations

[Fargo]

That's a good point, as well - unless Bran being dead, north or south of the wall, is even more important?

The way I understood it, the magic protecting the cave was breached because Bran made himself present to the night king while he was in it. Brandon isn't a walker nor is he dead so I don't think there is an issue with him crossing the wall, I think the Wall is coming down in the next few episodes.

I also question whether there could be a wight Dragon. The army of the dead is animated by ice while dragons are the personification of fire. It would be analogous to a red priest reviving a white walker with fire.

Doubt it... but if so, at least make an example of Ed Sheeran.

That **** just ripped the immersion out of the show.

It had zero impact on my immersion. I knew Ed Sheeran was going to make an appearance, I know what he looks like, and I like his music. And even then, I didn't even make the realization until after the episode was over.

That's a very good point. Bran will have to be careful, then, where he green-sees while south of the wall.

Ed Sheeran was cast in Game of Thrones as a ‘surprise’ for fan Maisie Williams

Just feels pandery.

Want to do a subtle cameo? Fine. But bringing on some flavor-of-the-month singer, to sing... something that feels detached from the world of the show... hoping this isn't something they make a habit of.

Edit: Looks like Connor McGregor is making a cameo this season.

I'm going to guess that Ain't Nobody Got Time Fo' That, for the most part, for this 13-episode stretch. Too much action for the show to spend time on action.

By the books... according to prophecy (which has all come true) Cersi will die at the hands of her "younger brother." She has often thought that meant Tyrion, while totally ignoring the fact that Jamie is also younger, just by several minutes.

We shall see...

I knew House Frey wouldn't stand a chance against Arya, but DAAAAYYYYUUUUMMMMMM!!!!! That girl is more dangerous than half the people in here.

I am hoping that all the Sand Snakes die this season. They betrayed their uncle who was a wise and benevolent leader, a man who looked to the future for his people. They are shortsighted fools.

One of my favorite scenes so far was between Daenerys and Tyrion, when she made him the Hand of the Queen. For the first time EVER someone has respected Tyrion for what he is capable of.

Oh, and let us not forget that Tyrion and Sansa are still legally married. I don't think that has ever been undone, but will it be acknowledged by either one of them?

What I see happening is Arya first killing Jamie, then taking his face and killing Cersi as Jamie.

Jamie isn't on her list. She for the most part has killer those who have wronged her family/friends, or been a direct threat. It's one of the reason why, I now think she won't kill the Lannister men.

One thing I did think of, was how much this story would be different if Joffrey hadn't killed Ned, and he took the black.

It would be a completely different story. The Starks would not have been separated. There would have been no War of Five Kings. John Snow would already know his true lineage, and never would have been made Lord Commander.

One autopsy male junk shot. HBO pandering to the necrophiles as usual!

While "making the 2-backed Beast"?

That's Shakespeare. Apparently Hawkeye is an educated man.

One of my many faults. Now for extra points what play and who spoke it?

I think it is Macbeth but I'm not sure. I think a witch is the one that made the reference.

Now I have to Google to see if I'm right.

 

[Fargo]

I was wrong.

 

[Hawkeye]

No winner. And very very cold. North of the Wall cold.

 

[Fargo]

Macbeth has the great reflection on how alcohol aids and thwarts lechery if I'm remembering correctly. Maybe that was what I was thinking of.

I know its Othello, but I'm unsure of who said it.

k

ok. Close enough. It was Othello. And it was Iago speaking of the Moor.

Kut it gets the prize! Whatever that is!

 

[Libertarian01]

Othello, Act I, Scene I:

Iago: "I am one, sir, that comes to tell you your daughter
and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs."
