Yes, there's plenty of shit not foreshadowed in the show. Again, I meant book series, not the show. "Aegon is actually alive and Varys is behind it!" is exactly the sort of thing Gurrm would've had Illyrio or Varys drop a hint about in their little dungeon talk. See: every other twist.

Sorry, when I said series, I meant books.

Just about every twist or surprise was hinted at somehow earlier in the series. Aegon, not so much. He was an afterthought. Sure, he'll have a major role to play in the books, but it clearly won't be anything someone else couldn't do.

kid didn't have a life bar that I could see, I don't think (or at least I fucking hope not) that we'll have to constantly look out for him. Just an extra feature "press (kid button) now to shoot this guy in the face and stun him", which is really just a bonus, not a hindrance. this too

Jacket scene was perfect, and as others said, glad to see Russ back in action. "Are you here fucking?" was great.

that's the best guess I've seen so far

Considering he used an ability called Spartan rage I don't know how anyone would think it was a different/rebooted Kratos. I'm all for Kratos being the reason there are no gods/miracles anymore. Have him kill the Egyptian gods next. Hindu. Whatever. Top it all off with wrecking God and Lucifer...

Aegon always seemed like something Gurrm just threw into the story late, and I have no idea why. Nothing about his plot seemed all that compelling. I agree that Euron will likely be our final human antagonist, especially after the latest WoW chapter that was released. I just don't know how he's...

Hearts of Stone was fucking good and Blood and Wine was better than most full game releases. Other developers should be fucking embarassed.

Nah he already did his hero's sacrifice, albeit unwillingly. It's just crap writing to build artificial tension among viewers and I'm getting worked up over everything this season, so this is no exception.

To further back up the shit writing assumption, they probably don't want us thinking about the fact that A.) Jon isn't go to die again, or if he does it will be at the end, and B.) If he did, Mel could just res him over and over like Beric. This removes the tension from any fight Jon...

He seemed pretty terrified when he first answered Melisandre about experiencing no afterlife. It just seems like shit writing to have him say that line when he clearly has things to live for, otherwise why not just go ahead and kill yourself? I'd say the "don't rez me" is just a shit line...

lol did you just not read the last 4 posts?

As opposed to death/nonexistence. Lose a bit of yourself or all of yourself. Doesn't seem like much of a difficult choice there

Didn't the preview for the next episode show Jon telling Melisandre not to bring him back again if he dies? I agree he definitely has a fear of death now, so... does not compute. Guessing some shit writer thought it would be a clever line of dialogue or something.

Astro gonna astro

Ship burning still irks me. "We want Daenerys gone!" "Lets burn her only way of leaving here." "Brilliant!" Because plot.

Not showing the Blackfish was weird. If he escaped like in the books, why tell Jaime you killed him? If he actually died, why not show it? Arya shit was dumb as all fuck, but at least it wasn't the ARYA WAS JAQEN garbage. And unless she jacks a mask or two from the wall on her way out, that...

My first two went the other way around. Thought people were exaggerating, then bam. I did not follow through, called an audible and fingerblasted instead. Learned that telling people to smell your finger a day and a shower later was legit.

This illustrates the concept well.

Makes you appreciate the less odorous ones more.

We talking seaweed or dead fish here? because I've definitely smelled some worse pussy than seaweed. There's definitely worse as far as rank vag goes.

This is why they've established Yara as a rugmuncher - to try and marry Dany. Brilliant fix.

Logically we'd assume Bloodraven inherited the job from someone. I don't have an answer for why the wall needs to be holy shitfuck big. Current answer would be giants/wildlings, but back when it was built? Dunno. They wanted a big windbreaker?

Gotcha. I agree, it'd be out of left field since it's only been shown in one scene that I can recall. The idea that the Three Eyed Raven kept the wall's magic in place is solid but then what was the point of dragging Bran's ass up North to just fuck it all up?

this is a good post

You don't get to be salty in this thread. Discussing book plot vs show plot has been this thread since day one.

I meant in the show. I'm aware they've mentioned it in the books. They made a point to show the horn in the obsidian cache at the fist on the tv series, I just can't recall them mentioning it since, which is why it seems they've abandoned it.

Yeah, I'd be ok with him just having the capability of taking it down and simply needed to build an army first. If the horn is the actual mechanic in the books, it doesn't look like they're following it since I don't think we've seen the horn (or what people theorize is the horn) since they...

Ep. 10 is the Winds of Winter? Wall's def coming down. Just hopefully not because LOL NIGHT'S KING MARKED U BRAN and he crosses the Wall. Fuck Bran, just go die North of the Wall and save mankind.

Sterling's theory takes the lead.

She had no way of knowing it would even be carried with weapons. The FM clearly use poison or stage accidents. Lot of good that blood pouch does when you're strangling to death like Joffrey.

Pretty easily. They've been referring to Robert Strong as Gregor Clegane for a while now in Kings Landing, and Sandor has spent the last decade (based on teleportation derived travel time of course) healing up with the septons. He doesn't really care but the moment they call for their own...

I'm having a hard time imagining not retarded ways she ends up doing parkour next week per the preview. Priest of R'hllor is the only established thing I could imagine, short of being saved by the First Surgeon of Braavos and a copious time jump to heal.

Way too many holes in the fake blood idea. If it turns out true, that'd be one of the worst handled scenes of the season.

lolwut the fuck is this post

It's fine to have things be mysterious. But once you begin establishing a rule, you should still stick to that rule. They've shown faces being lifted from corpses to add to the wall. They're not just decorative, the beginning of that Arya clip shows her returning the one she used to its spot on...

What's more likely? Arya is hallucinating as she goes blind/continuity error? Or the faceless men regularly go around wearing a fucking pile of masks on their faces including ones that they don't actually have access to because reasons?

See above post about blindness scene. What's more likely? Arya is hallucinating as she goes blind/continuity error? Or the faceless men regularly go around wearing a fucking pile of masks on their faces including ones that they don't actually have access to because reasons?
