I Can't Wait for a dragon to make one swooping pass and burn the shit out of the army of the dead. Perfect weapons against the white walkers
AnthonyBlumpkins
I can't wait for Bran to warg into one
drjay95
Bran is literally the worst character though. Why oh why did it have to be him :(
PantsAreTooMuchWork
I feel that, being extremely intelligent and independent beings, the dragons wouldn't take kindly to being essentially mind-raped.
Pos7al
If they are intelligent, they will probably peace-out from this show. All like, 'suck our dragon balls, we ain't dyin young'
Can't rape the willing. I guess we'll find out if they're willing or not.
RIGHT!?! All that talk about the dragon having 3 heads: daenerys, bran, and either Jon or Tyrion?
maddogg2216
I don't think Daeny is going to make it honestly.
makescreamogreatagain
I'm thinking Daeny, Jon, and Tyrion. In their own ways, they're en route to being the three most powerful people in the world.
SomebodyStoleMyCarRadio
My next comment has a SPOILER for books, but probably not the show as this character was supposed to appear long ago and still hasn't. 1/2
Part of me wonders if Coldhands was a wight that Bloodraven warged into, and Bran will have the power to warg into them as well.
7iseverywhere
This is the exact thing me and my dad were discussing after last nights ep.
chaos13
Is it possible for Bloodraven to warg into a wight though? Also, I don't think Cold Hands was a wight, if anything he was a white walker.
His descriptions (black hands, blue eyes, humanese from what we can see) sounds more like a wight to me. I have no idea if it's possible
eagle193
it's been a while since I read the books: who is bloodraven?
Shovi
3 eyed crow.
The guy under the weirwood tree beyond the wall who is going to teach Bran
Wights have zero agency. Cold Hands was obviously making autonomous decisions.
Yeah, but if they were being controlled by someone they'd appear to be making their own decisions. Again, just a theory idk if it's possible

"Whelp, Jons dead. Nope he's dead. They kill everyone cool in this show. I hate this show. He's dead"- my girlfriend circa 945 Sunday night
AFineDayForScience
Next season might be rough for your girlfriend... might not though, what do I know?
UpvotesForCalicos
Yeah, they're rapidly becoming separate entities.
QuietLittleLeaf
As a reader I like that they've spun lots of different threads of the stories and chopped others...keeps me surprised. :)
Schmedes
Honestly, some of these plotlines could very well go right back to being the same. We don't know how Dorne/Winterfell actually end yet.
I like the differences so far for the most part. I just hope they're not spoiling toooo much from the next books
NoucheDozzle
I doubt they are spoiling anything. Why would Martin give the show's writers information that would spoil the events of his book series?
Well he told them how it' supposed to end if anything happens to him. So I assume they're going to use some of that, it seems inevitable.
I think that might just be rumour. Can you verify it? Martin has said he doesn't know for sure how many books there will be yet.
featherpower
I can't wait for the shit to actually hit the fan for cersi. Everyone's like finally but I'm like Just. Wait.
what do you bet it will be in this season's finale?

SLUT WALKKK!!
cokebender
I'm not big on slut shaming, but your comment had me snorting. Haha
johnoheron
I scoffed out loud when Tyrion said he only trusted Varys, and his brother.
LukeBuff
why?
MrGrayandPink
Spoiler alert : Jamie said to Cersei he would kill Tyrion if he saw him because of the whole crossbow toilet incident.
Never trust Varys. And Jamie said earlier this season that if he sees Tyrion he'll kill him for killing Tywin
noIDNTT
It's Littlefinger you can't trust. I think Varys has made his intentions and his agenda pretty well known at this point.
Dear god don't trust LF. But Varys only tells people what little he wants them to know. His full agenda isn't even revealed in the books 1/2
Tanishh
Don't mistake having a spy network and being sneaky with being innately unscrupulous and without honor. Varys was very forward with Ned in
Noughmad
I think his agenda is pretty clear in the books, get a Targaryen on the throne.
yet, and his plot is further along in the books than the show at this point. 2/2

LMFAO that part had me on the floor.
jeffreybaratheon
I'm actually really enjoying the changes mostly just because they're new and it makes the show exciting/surprising again.
thatsmyidentifier
Yeah, I always felt left out in the excitement that non book readers got every episode. It's a nice feeling
daneo136
Exactly..if the showrunners kept exactly to the books, Tyrion never even would've met Dany this frigin' season...
......Jon would have never went to Hardhome
Most of the changes I'm loving as a separate entity from the books. There have been a few I just shake my head at though
...Sansa wouldn't be in Winterfell
.........fuckin' Jaime wouldn't be anywhere close to Dorne
VincentAlucard01
Is the final scene from the last episode in the books?
Mrwhoever
nope, I dont know if they got round to it but they sent ships to pick them out, some turned into slaves if they werent picked by crows
Thanks!
Not at all. Jon doesn't go to Hardhome. A wildling woman named Val is the one sent there to GET Tormund and his people. We see none of it
That being said, it was a really cool adaptation for the show... Except the CGI World War Z wights that can now be killed with swords >.<
gildakaufman
They did send an envoy to gather up the last of the wildlings in hard home, but Jon didn't go, just greeted them at the wall.
I see, thank you =)
Nope. Only thing that happened in the books from last night was Cersei being in prison.
I see, thanks!
And Arya in Braavos at the canals, although they did change quit a lot.
lizzythegreat
Yes but look what HBO did to true blood. Went off plot got horrible then took the books down with it.
Great, b/c that is what HBO is doing with GOT. Idiots.
Completely agree. Did the same. Those assholes ruined book 4!
I didn't read the books, but once I saw a comparison of the differences. I was pissed!! Would enjoy GOT much more had it went with thebooks
The books were always... A bit bad and campy. Don't get me wrong I love them and read them all, but not top notch. I like when the show did

Martin has said he wants to release WOW before season 6, which makes sense from a business standpoint considering the sales.

I really hope that's the case, but my poor little heart doesn't think we'll get WOW before 2017.

You don't sound very sorry
I'm not! I think you're a doodoo head
That's very hurtful. I'll be going now
Book readers didnt spoil stuff on pain of death pretty much, people went ape shit if they did, now people dont give a fuck about spoiling it
I'm only watching it because I rather see it then it being spoiled for me, If i held out for the books im bound to have someone ruin it
The new show content isn't spoiling the future books. The show writers are in the dark as much as us.
noxdracoria
seeing how far off the books they have gone in GoT, I feel safe from spoilers (cant spoil what never happened/won't happen in the books)
I will just avoid the final say 5 episodes of the entire tv series as it's theorized that the end goal will be similar to the books
Popspoppingit
I'm waiting for them to make The Wheel of Time book into a show. They'll fuck it up, and I'll be so excited to watch it.

I wish they would too, but 1) there's far too much content for a show or movie and 2) it would be an abomination, there is a comic book tho!
wantfastcars
I'm in the same boat for this summer/fall Expanse TV adaptation. SyFy has a good track record with TV series, but... I'm still concerned.
looked it up, red eagle own the TV rights which were set to expire in Feb unless they produced something, hence the recent terrible pilot
TheCrazy88Horse
GoT has more exciting storylines. Many characters dieing and alot of cliffhangers. WoT doesn't have this in my opinion. Only 1 of the 9 die.
*SPOILERS*

it's like impossible not to fuck it up...

I enjoyed the Sword of Truth books but the show was campy and atrocious IMO

I've already read them once and I'm currently re-reading them. I'm on "The Shadow Rising". It's my second favorite series of all time.
At about book 9 I started reading the series from the beginning, so I have worked through it several times. What's your favorite series?
Anne McCaffrey's Pern series. My Dad introduced me to it when I was around 10 and I fell in love. My third is the Tower and Hive series.
Whiskey461
Look it up on YouTube, there already working on fucking it up.
youareprobablyanidiot
I read that was a contract ploy. Aaaand it was terrible.
LordofGoats
It wasn't official and was swiftly condemned by Jordan's estate.
candle340
To be fair, that was an unauthorized production thrown together in a week so they could try and keep the film rights

This! It was deliberately not advertised and aired at night.
*They're. I'm sorry.

Damn, frickin mobile auto-correct.
Didn't see the atrocity on YouTube? I think they did it just to keep the rights, so hopefully they make something better soon...
totallyrealname
Lol they did a pilot episode and it was so terrible Jordan's wife sued or something. It was so, so bad.
IhavenoiedeawhatIamdoing
The show would be like 15 seasons though and to keeping with the theme of Robert Jordan half the show would be about what people are wearing
CuddleyPanda
There's actually a book that has a full paragraph describing a desk Rand takes in Tear.
MFfromHell
Half the dialogue would be the female characters sniffing.
She wore a yellow dress with a blue lace trim and matching shawl. Not that Nynaeve really cared for such things.
DarthFutuza
As a 12 year old lad often wondered if actual women actually thought about clothes as much as his character's seemed to.
This made me more aware of how the neckline shapes the cleavage, seemed useful during puberty
Equinox13
You forgot about how the dress was "slashed" with a contrasting color.
TheFirstIconoclast
In defense of that line, at least, I feel like Nynaeve's attitudes towards her clothes change (especially with Lan), and reflecting that 1/2
over time is important to how she develops and how her relationship with Lan develops. Granted, he does still detail the clothing a lot. 2/2
I completely agree. I enjoyed seeing characters change like that over time.
It WAS a very nice dress, though, and it would go so well with those shoes that Elayne refused to let her borrow.
thegrimnar
There's nothing wrong with good, stout, Two River's wool.

They said the same thing about Song of Fire and Ice. The amount and depth of imagery used by GRRMartin makes for some hefty reading.

DeDopDeeDiddlyDogBop
Wheel of Time was fantastic, but goddamn...he was obsessed with necklines.

And smiles that never touched the eyes. Oh, and snorting.

But barely four sex scenes, because he's classy.

But they would only fuck it up in the name of making it easy to 'relate' to. Also, the casting atrocities. *shudders*
Kiminara
it would take so long to do, the actors would age way too fast. GoT has this problem with the kid actors, wheel of time would too
Abracaderpa
Only if they make it a short one. The male characters spend half their time pondering how girls are odd and the girls just sigh and eyeroll.
I mean, there's a reason why Robert said before his death that he should rewrite most of the series 'cause he got caught up in stupid things

I was just about to mention that! Richard's casting was atrocious. Though I did grow to like the show as it went on. (Nothing like the book)

Without the blessing from the Jordan estate either, I believe?
Correct.
It had some semi-famous actor but oh .. my.. god.. it was horrible. The outfits were bloody awful too. It made me so sad.
Yep looked it up, they only made it to retain the TV rights they didn't even tell Jordan's wife (she's PISSED), they plan on making a high1/
Budget show in the future. They really hoped no one would see it
I'm kinda surprised so few actually knew about it
It was pretty lame though. :(
krauraurgg
Wasn't it intentionally poor quality just to meet some legal obligation or something? I recall few people taking it seriously at the time.

Nah, now everyone reacts like Zoidberg. The show watchers constantly freak out over stupid things, and the book readers flip out bc it isn't
perfectly like the book
Not all of us book readers, most of us are okay with the majority of the changes.
ominousdusk
Im not freaking out cause its not perfect. i just am not sure how i feel about being spoilered for the books before I can read them.
I understand that GRRM writes slow as fuck though and HBO's hands are kind of tied on this though

it doesn't help that hbo skipped probably 2/3 of the last 2 books for the hell of it

What shit, summarized, is new and different? I've only watched the show.
Important people dying for no reason, EXTREMELY important people not even existing, important people being in wrong places.
Sansa doesn't marry Ramsay, one of her friends does who is forced to prerent to be Arya. Jon didn't go to Hardhome. Jamie and Bronn didn't >
go to Dorne. The Sand Snakes are more badass. Tyrion hasn't met Dany. There are many other important characters cut out. Selmy hasn't died.>
Denbags
NON READERS. DO NOT OPEN REPLIES TO SomebodyStoleMyCarRadio comment above. It could still happen in the show. You've been warned
No it can't. They've established in the show that Trystane is the heir and only child.
Jorah doesn't get greyscale (another guy does). Brienne meets up with undead Catelyn Stark. Grenn and Pip didn't die, sent to another caste.
This may have been the comment too far for non readers
OH! And Trystane Martell has an older sister (heir), and brother who goes to meet Dany. That's all I can think of atm off the top of my head

With an epic stare down like DBZ ffs
Show watcher here: so are those powerful walkers like the generals or kings or something? Do they have a name?
CaptainShutTheFuckUp
The walker having the stare off with Jon is called the Night's King, he's the leader of White Walkers and an old Lord Commander 1/?
while the other white walkers are yeah, basically generals who reanimate the dead into the wights. Wights are way less powerful and 4/?
are basically the minions of the White Walkers who serve the Night's King. Done. 5/5
he gave her his soul." He declared himself King, and her Queen, of the Nightfort at the Wall for 13 years. He's the badass in charge 3/?
of the Night's Watch, the 13th I think. He fell in love with an unknown woman with blue eyes and cold skin...when he, "gave her his seed 2/?
dontcallmeplath
RIGHT?!! I was like, "There's fucking nothing stopping them from swimming to you!! ROW DAMMIT!"

DaveTheMurderingHippo
Maybe these undead don't like water?
Water makes things decompose faster. This has been a complete bullshit comment.
CanadianImgur
Theres a quote by Cotter Pyke that say's there are dead things in the water. So I'd imagine they do quite like the water, at least in books.
Interesting. Also, if the sea freezes by Eastwatch they'll just walk around the wall. So there is also that.
I would imagine they don't mind water and could walk along the bottom like in Pirates of the Caribbean, but I doubt they can swim.

My thoughts were consumed by the giant...like, does he just walk across? Is it shallow enough?
shixma
Big enough to withstand the cold probably.
fatbottomgirlsmaketheworldgoround
I'm still trying to figure the giant out. How will he fit over the wall? Where's his mammoth? Why's he so grumpy? He won't fit on a ship
He'll just go under the wall...like the other giant did.
i thought he didn't fit in the tunnel.
Him charging through the tunnel is how Grenn died.
Feralkyn
I was afraid he'd go undead, or freeze in the sea x_x
katsuemalibu
How's he gonna fit in any of those ships?
He can't weigh more than a hundred people and ships hold way more than that sometimes.
CGriffo124
Not all into one spot though.
Make him lay down or something. It's better than him becoming a wight.
I'd assume he walks as far he can, swims the rest, climbs up the rocks by the ships, and eases himself down into a ship (they'e big enough).
he coulda push the boat...
That occurred to me as an option too.
Boredashell
I was more worried about him being taken by the undead. Gotta get close to them to use dragonglass. His reach is longer than yours.
I really thought this was going to happen. Each time I saw him "he's moving slower, he's going down". Nope that's just his speed.
Same. I thought he was kind of changing at the end, walking into the water. Thought he was done then. Bad mofo.
Seriously. White walker giant could fuck you up.
With a giant ice weapon to destroy entire gates like it did those swords. Scury shit son.

Its the episode where zoidberg walked like a crab and knocked over a table.

2nd DVD movie, "The Beast With a Billion Backs".
Oh, that one. I wasn't a big fan of it.
Reidsb
Thank you, I had the same confusion because it's one of the things I haven't seen as much.
I'm really only still watching because I wanna see Reek finally morph back into Theon and exact his revenge on Ramsay Bolton.
I see a Theon, Sansa, Brienne trifecta of fucking shit up for the Boltons
[deleted]
Awww bless. SO GET TO IT! GAWWWDDDUH!
OfficialRedRyderCarbineActionTwoHundredShotRangeModelAirRifle
ChuckZombie
...and then Theon chops off Ramsay's dick and Sansa sews it on for him and they have slow sensual sex upon Ramsay's corpse?
If you browse this thread you'll see that I suggested a similar scenario as well. I like you. We should be friends.
HackerJacker
I'm not sure Theon deserves the redemption there, more likely that Sansa/Brienne has to kill him to get to Ramsay.
in all fairness neither did Jaime.
grimfandango
Don't hold your breath though. In the books at least, Reek is too far gone (physically) to ever be Theon again. Also, this is not Disney.
Yeah, I agree it's not very likely. Also on the Disney thing. Still... poetic justice isn't theirs alone ;)
ciarraiabu
HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaHahahahaha...No.
You're fun at parties, I'm sure.

That was beautiful :')
Ha! I'd seen the tweet before, which gives me hope, but never the second image.
Draevan13
I really, REALLY hope Theon kills him. Or Roose, that'd be good too, by mainly Theon.
Meh. Nobody else deserves it as much, really. It HAS to be Theon.
TransverseHomoclinicPoint
Sansa?
Yeah like I replied to that other guy... She can assist. Theon deserves to get the actual kill though, can't deny that.
Yea I agree.
In terms of just what Ramsay has done to them, sure, but Theon was kinda of an asshole before. Sansa's more innocent.
Hasaan
Reek, Reek, it rhymes with fucking snitch.
I think they're leaning more towards having Sansa do it. At least I hope they are, poor girl needs a win.
PompatusOfLove
Poor girl is an accessory to murder, twice. I like Sansa, but no pity.
Idonthavealottosay
No way. Reek needs this
TheTypo
semispoiler---> her situation in the books is so much better than the one in the show it's sad, in the books she's still in vale
TacoPuncher
Is it a spoiler if it diverged from the book
yeah...I find it interesting that they've put her in such a submissive position. Curious to see what they've planned.
PanEdaCat
Says the suspiciously named @jeffreybaratheon
Oh she can assist. She deserves that much. Also: you get too bad a rap, man. Deffo not the worst asshole in the series. That's still Ramsay.
Spiderbubble
Crazy how Joffrey can actually be topped in asshole levels.
Right?
In the books, it wasn't even clear that Reek = Theon until Sansa sees him in the kennel. Imagine the mindfuck.
sexysquirrel
I remember nearly throwing the book across the room out of surprise when the Reek = Theon connection was made.
SquirrelBones
you clearly hav'nt read the books Sansa never comes anywhere near Reek.
psychoscitzo1
I was kinda confused for a bit too
I read them and I distinctly remember when it was "spoiled" that Reek = Theon. Whether Sansa was there or not, I don't recall 100%.
I think it was Jeyne Poole who they all assume is Arya, since theon and her still grey up together in Winterfell.
Sprixxen
I read this not a week ago. The 1st mention is actually Arnolf Karstark who recognizes Theon from when he visited Winterfell.
Ah, yes, that's it. I'd completely forgotten about her.
Oh wow! That must've been fucking shocking yeah! Shame I'll know, when I get around to reading them :/
It was shocking indeed, but the more keen readers claim to have known all along. Obviously.
Ugh. Yeah there's always tons of those.
Don't worry about "missing out" on content, though. They leave *SO* much out from the show. Just the first season cut about 30 characters..
Yeah I've heard a lot about how much the series diverges from the books, which is why it's still on my list. Thanks for reinforcing :)
The only other book I can relate to in terms of character gallery is The Silmarillion or Wheel of Time. Definitely worth the read, enjoy!
pringlesyum
The first season followed the books very closely. Maybe not every character but the storyline was followed.
The main story, yes, but I felt like a lot of details were left out.
NachoDawg
I guess that is a spoiler then, allrighty
No it's not. It's only a spoiler if he knows it happens.
Nope.
Hey sorry, I guess. But you'll forget about it tomorrow, I'm pretty sure :)
Wait, you think I *know* this is gonna happen? I don't. Only hoping, man. Hoping! And if it doesn't, I vow to murder RR mothafuckin Martin!
Oh, hahaha my bad! x)
AdoIfHitIer
I'm watching in hope that The Hound will come back.
Next season I hope. Maybe he can rescue Sansa since Brienne sure is taking her sweet ass time. Plus, in the books, Sansa has a crush on him

No shit! I saw her fully naked on stage years ago. Rrrrrrrrrrrawrrrrr
I've seen her partially naked on my tv a couple times.....am I allowed to hate you?
White Walker Zombie Army
Oh sure, that should be fun. But still. Ramsay needs to get the most horrible death ever shown on TV. The rest is gravy.
idownvoteplottwist
Well with this brilliant idea he has from the latest episode, it might end up turning out that way.
Shush! Ugh, I'm officially refusing to read any more replies on this post now. Haven't watched latest one yet :S
I think they should have the cast of The Walking Dead play the zombies.
Fun idea, but they're now too expensive and have little time, so rather they just get extras or sumthin. Spend more money on Ramsay's death.
I like to imagine Theon making Ramsay call himself "Reek Snow" to remind him he's just a fucking bastard.

They aren't zombies, they are wights.
21cutdryguy
I'd say they're closer to a lych, because they have a solid form. Wights (in what I've seen) are more ghastly or ethereal, not having a form
In the GoT universe they are wights. http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Wights
Potayto potahto. But you're right, of course.
There is a difference between zombies and wights.

God it was brilliant.

Well, I mean, it was mentioned in the book that Sam found some lore about dragonsteel, so that wasnt really a theory, just speculation

GoT posts are dark and full of spoilers.

Not really a spoiler, the point is those are things the show demonstrated first. (You just didn't know the main Walker's name.)
eetsumkaus
didn't they SAY dragonsteel killed them? It's not really a theory...
80percentlegs
They're not certain that dragonsteel = Valyrian steel. Although they're pretty sure. Theory is a strong word but it was still a confirmation
Yes, but it wasn't sure that "dragonsteel" and Valyrian steel were the same. Now we know they are.

I feel it needed a cameo by Milla Jovavich to seal the deal.

if he can kick ass like that im sure he can swim too of float on that cloud of sass we takes everywhere
That's what I was hoping, but the whole time I was like, dude, you're in arrow range row that fucking boat. WHO'S ROWING
i think they should have been further out at sea by the last shot for i would be rowing like a mofo or giant should push thee cunts

You're never safe. You never will be again. I'm sorry. Godspeed, my child.
Probably the best episode of GoT so far
MrSpindles
Up there with the battle of Blackwater bay for me. I watched it 3 times!
Everything we've been waiting for for YEARS happened in 1 episode. Shove every fanservice into an hour, it was amazing.
...seriously?
which one was for you?
best episode? nothing from this season, that's for sure. The Red Wedding episode was good, Blackwater was well done. I just felt like this 1
battle didn't have enough tension, since it was mostly with characters we didn't know. And I'm sorry, but those skeletons were hokey. 2/2
You know something, you might well be right, now I think about it. I've been slowly gettting bored this season. NO LONGER.
TheGate
Yeah, this episode was the first one in a while that I enjoyed ALL of it. Not just a few storylines. And the fight scene... yes.
Indubitably
Lexsteel11
E08? Found the torrenter.
Wha...What do you mean? It came out Yesterday!
The one episode worth it this season. The rest has been abysmal but that last scene, wow, the dread...
I'd wager most book readers went more nuts over the Dany/Tyrion conversation than the walker fight. (Though that was cool too.)
I didn't. I feel like they're just gonna sit around and talk about past histories involving their families

na we know whats gonna happen in Epi 10 so it kinda kills the fun out of it. Plus the dialog was utter shit
I wouldn't put it past the writers postponing "that" for a while.
Its already been filmed.
Well shit.
How...none of this has happened in the books yet.
Drogo and the pit and Dany getting her bloodriders back? Yes it has happened in the books
Do you mean Drogon?
It may not play out the same way with Tyrion around though.
That's actually happening in E09, next week, if you're referring to the thing I think you're referring to that has to do with daenerys
na its too perfect for a finale moment IMO but if they choose to do it for episode 9 then so be it :P
idk, i think the OTHER THING that happens up north is even better as a finale moment and would serve to get more viewers for the next season
BarryBFoldinFan
how would you know that? seems like a pretty appropriate season finale/cliffhanger to me, but that's just like my opinion, man
Well, I mean, i think you know what the other option for the last scene of the season is, and i think that that may be better.

Nah, the walker fight was balls to the wall crazy. Best bit this season.

may i ask what happened in the books? did this never happen?
It didn't happen yet. We hope it will.
It never happened. It's very likely to happen, but it hasn't happened yet.
the way I see it, they killed Barristan so early in the season so Tyrion can take his place as Dany's adviser. It was good but somehow 1/2
predictable. Now, the white walkers fight, I guess I hadn't say that many "no" since the red wedding I was trully worried for Lord Snow. 2/2

Part of me wonders if Coldhands was a wight that Bloodraven warged into, and Bran will have the power to warg into them as well.
7iseverywhere
This is the exact thing me and my dad were discussing after last nights ep.
chaos13
Is it possible for Bloodraven to warg into a wight though? Also, I don't think Cold Hands was a wight, if anything he was a white walker.
SomebodyStoleMyCarRadio
His descriptions (black hands, blue eyes, humanese from what we can see) sounds more like a wight to me. I have no idea if it's possible

I like the differences so far for the most part. I just hope they're not spoiling toooo much from the next books
NoucheDozzle
I doubt they are spoiling anything. Why would Martin give the show's writers information that would spoil the events of his book series?
SomebodyStoleMyCarRadio
Well he told them how it' supposed to end if anything happens to him. So I assume they're going to use some of that, it seems inevitable.

Spoiler alert : Jamie said to Cersei he would kill Tyrion if he saw him because of the whole crossbow toilet incident.
SomebodyStoleMyCarRadio
Never trust Varys. And Jamie said earlier this season that if he sees Tyrion he'll kill him for killing Tywin
noIDNTT
It's Littlefinger you can't trust. I think Varys has made his intentions and his agenda pretty well known at this point.

Dear god don't trust LF. But Varys only tells people what little he wants them to know. His full agenda isn't even revealed in the books 1/2

Don't mistake having a spy network and being sneaky with being innately unscrupulous and without honor. Varys was very forward with Ned in

Not at all. Jon doesn't go to Hardhome. A wildling woman named Val is the one sent there to GET Tormund and his people. We see none of it

That being said, it was a really cool adaptation for the show... Except the CGI World War Z wights that can now be killed with swords >.<

They did send an envoy to gather up the last of the wildlings in hard home, but Jon didn't go, just greeted them at the wall.

Still mad about the lack of Lady Stoneheart.

I believe the actor said she's not returning to the show, yet IMDB already credits her as "hooded lady" for the final episode this season.

Martin has said he wants to release WOW before season 6, which makes sense from a business standpoint considering the sales.
OhHowTheTurntablesHave
I really hope that's the case, but my poor little heart doesn't think we'll get WOW before 2017.

I think it could happen. After that, it will be a race before the end of the show to release 'A Dream of Spring'.

Book readers didnt spoil stuff on pain of death pretty much, people went ape shit if they did, now people dont give a fuck about spoiling it
Mrwhoever
I'm only watching it because I rather see it then it being spoiled for me, If i held out for the books im bound to have someone ruin it
NoucheDozzle
The new show content isn't spoiling the future books. The show writers are in the dark as much as us.
noxdracoria
seeing how far off the books they have gone in GoT, I feel safe from spoilers (cant spoil what never happened/won't happen in the books)
noxdracoria
I will just avoid the final say 5 episodes of the entire tv series as it's theorized that the end goal will be similar to the books

I'm waiting for them to make The Wheel of Time book into a show. They'll fuck it up, and I'll be so excited to watch it.
Matattackasaur

While I would LOVE to see it become a tv series, I don't think it would ever work. Largely because much of the plot and its key elements (1)

MRWIRealiseYouCanChangeUsernames
I wish they would too, but 1) there's far too much content for a show or movie and 2) it would be an abomination, there is a comic book tho!
wantfastcars
I'm in the same boat for this summer/fall Expanse TV adaptation. SyFy has a good track record with TV series, but... I'm still concerned.
MRWIRealiseYouCanChangeUsernames
looked it up, red eagle own the TV rights which were set to expire in Feb unless they produced something, hence the recent terrible pilot
TheCrazy88Horse
GoT has more exciting storylines. Many characters dieing and alot of cliffhangers. WoT doesn't have this in my opinion. Only 1 of the 9 die.
Popspoppingit
*SPOILERS*
someclowns
it's like impossible not to fuck it up...
CanadianOneDollarCoin
I enjoyed the Sword of Truth books but the show was campy and atrocious IMO
MPBlaster
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvNYIEN1vIg They made a pilot and it failed.
GilderoyPopDropNLockart
I spent over a decade of my life immersed in this series, I met one other person that had read the books, I love seeing these comments
HelpIFellIntoASarchasm
I've already read them once and I'm currently re-reading them. I'm on "The Shadow Rising". It's my second favorite series of all time.
GilderoyPopDropNLockart
At about book 9 I started reading the series from the beginning, so I have worked through it several times. What's your favorite series?
HelpIFellIntoASarchasm
Anne McCaffrey's Pern series. My Dad introduced me to it when I was around 10 and I fell in love. My third is the Tower and Hive series.
Whiskey461
Look it up on YouTube, there already working on fucking it up.
youareprobablyanidiot
I read that was a contract ploy. Aaaand it was terrible.
LordofGoats
It wasn't official and was swiftly condemned by Jordan's estate.
candle340
To be fair, that was an unauthorized production thrown together in a week so they could try and keep the film rights
lachicablanca
This! It was deliberately not advertised and aired at night.
paddythelion
*They're. I'm sorry.
SpecimenSpiff
ARE YOU FUC-- oh, you are.
Whiskey461
Damn, frickin mobile auto-correct.
lachicablanca
Didn't see the atrocity on YouTube? I think they did it just to keep the rights, so hopefully they make something better soon...
totallyrealname
Lol they did a pilot episode and it was so terrible Jordan's wife sued or something. It was so, so bad.
IhavenoiedeawhatIamdoing
The show would be like 15 seasons though and to keeping with the theme of Robert Jordan half the show would be about what people are wearing
CuddleyPanda
There's actually a book that has a full paragraph describing a desk Rand takes in Tear.
MFfromHell
Half the dialogue would be the female characters sniffing.
LordofGoats
She wore a yellow dress with a blue lace trim and matching shawl. Not that Nynaeve really cared for such things.
DarthFutuza
As a 12 year old lad often wondered if actual women actually thought about clothes as much as his character's seemed to.
GilderoyPopDropNLockart
This made me more aware of how the neckline shapes the cleavage, seemed useful during puberty
Equinox13
You forgot about how the dress was "slashed" with a contrasting color.
TheFirstIconoclast
In defense of that line, at least, I feel like Nynaeve's attitudes towards her clothes change (especially with Lan), and reflecting that 1/2
TheFirstIconoclast
over time is important to how she develops and how her relationship with Lan develops. Granted, he does still detail the clothing a lot. 2/2
LordofGoats
I completely agree. I enjoyed seeing characters change like that over time.
LordofGoats
It WAS a very nice dress, though, and it would go so well with those shoes that Elayne refused to let her borrow.
thegrimnar
There's nothing wrong with good, stout, Two River's wool.
chaseNC
They said the same thing about Song of Fire and Ice. The amount and depth of imagery used by GRRMartin makes for some hefty reading.
Tankdoggy
Will the last seasons go towards "pillow friends" and dirty old men?
DeDopDeeDiddlyDogBop
Wheel of Time was fantastic, but goddamn...he was obsessed with necklines.
Murai
to be fair, necklines are wonderful things
ihearttehcoffees
And women folding their arms under their breasts. Lots of that.
SpecimenSpiff
And smiles that never touched the eyes. Oh, and snorting.
39AndAHalfFootPole
But barely four sex scenes, because he's classy.
Chimwizlet
And around 500 conversations about how much men/women like to gossip. And a middle that drags up to the point Jordan fond out he was dying.
AncientTerror
And nobody can swallow because their mouthes are too dry. (Sorry, I read the german version now.)

McSmug
But they would only fuck it up in the name of making it easy to 'relate' to. Also, the casting atrocities. *shudders*
Kiminara
it would take so long to do, the actors would age way too fast. GoT has this problem with the kid actors, wheel of time would too
Abracaderpa
Only if they make it a short one. The male characters spend half their time pondering how girls are odd and the girls just sigh and eyeroll.
Abracaderpa
I mean, there's a reason why Robert said before his death that he should rewrite most of the series 'cause he got caught up in stupid things
ChocomonMaster
It will never be time to toss those dice. :'(
Daktyl
Just like "The Sword of Truth" and "The Seeker". They fucked that up big time... my uncle still tortures me over it :(
arteestic1
Wanted to throw things at the TV. Just... what were they thinking??
Trickstan
I was just about to mention that! Richard's casting was atrocious. Though I did grow to like the show as it went on. (Nothing like the book)
Daktyl
It's a good show in it's own right, it just broke my heart that they claimed it to be based on the books >.<

Wasn't it only aired though to maintain the rights to the TV show?
tickmeister
Correct

It was only made to keep control of the license.

Without the blessing from the Jordan estate either, I believe?

Correct.
Noob3rts
It had some semi-famous actor but oh .. my.. god.. it was horrible. The outfits were bloody awful too. It made me so sad.
MRWIRealiseYouCanChangeUsernames
Yep looked it up, they only made it to retain the TV rights they didn't even tell Jordan's wife (she's PISSED), they plan on making a high1/
MRWIRealiseYouCanChangeUsernames
Budget show in the future. They really hoped no one would see it
thetonestarr
I'm kinda surprised so few actually knew about it
Noob3rts
It was pretty lame though. :(
krauraurgg
Wasn't it intentionally poor quality just to meet some legal obligation or something? I recall few people taking it seriously at the time.

Nah, now everyone reacts like Zoidberg. The show watchers constantly freak out over stupid things, and the book readers flip out bc it isn't

Not all of us book readers, most of us are okay with the majority of the changes.

Im not freaking out cause its not perfect. i just am not sure how i feel about being spoilered for the books before I can read them.

I understand that GRRM writes slow as fuck though and HBO's hands are kind of tied on this though

Sansa doesn't marry Ramsay, one of her friends does who is forced to prerent to be Arya. Jon didn't go to Hardhome. Jamie and Bronn didn't >

go to Dorne. The Sand Snakes are more badass. Tyrion hasn't met Dany. There are many other important characters cut out. Selmy hasn't died.>
Denbags
NON READERS. DO NOT OPEN REPLIES TO SomebodyStoleMyCarRadio comment above. It could still happen in the show. You've been warned
SomebodyStoleMyCarRadio
No it can't. They've established in the show that Trystane is the heir and only child.
SomebodyStoleMyCarRadio
Jorah doesn't get greyscale (another guy does). Brienne meets up with undead Catelyn Stark. Grenn and Pip didn't die, sent to another caste.
Denbags
This may have been the comment too far for non readers

OH! And Trystane Martell has an older sister (heir), and brother who goes to meet Dany. That's all I can think of atm off the top of my head

What really annoyed me about that episode was that there was water dripping down from the Queen Regent's cell cealing.

The animation on the spilled water as it dissolves into the carpet but not hard floor is actually sweeeet detail.

I was totally expecting the whitewalker to just freeze that part of the sea. Wouldn't have been suprised to see everyone die.

I expected him to just walk off the dock and the water to freeze under his feet and the army just slowly starts walking towards them.

Either an oversight, or a great bit of misdirection. Yeah, I expected a dagger in Jon.

Yes! It was my first thought!

The Giant knew to keep going for gods sake! He was fucking gone while you jackasses stared right at the DEAD COMING BACK TO LIFE

Redrumofthesheep
Apparently they took the same rowing class as Gendry did.
bomboy23
Seriously though, what do you think the range and cool down of that resurrect aoe is?
TopsunPB
Either the rower was the worst actor ever or was just a prop. He was fucking immobile when he could have felt the breath of white walkers.

Iamsonewatthis
Show watcher here: so are those powerful walkers like the generals or kings or something? Do they have a name?
CaptainShutTheFuckUp
The walker having the stare off with Jon is called the Night's King, he's the leader of White Walkers and an old Lord Commander 1/?
CaptainShutTheFuckUp
while the other white walkers are yeah, basically generals who reanimate the dead into the wights. Wights are way less powerful and 4/?
CaptainShutTheFuckUp
are basically the minions of the White Walkers who serve the Night's King. Done. 5/5
CaptainShutTheFuckUp
he gave her his soul." He declared himself King, and her Queen, of the Nightfort at the Wall for 13 years. He's the badass in charge 3/?
CaptainShutTheFuckUp
of the Night's Watch, the 13th I think. He fell in love with an unknown woman with blue eyes and cold skin...when he, "gave her his seed 2/?
dontcallmeplath
RIGHT?!! I was like, "There's fucking nothing stopping them from swimming to you!! ROW DAMMIT!"
bomboy23
Perhaps the tied was coming in, and other aquatic related happenings
DaveTheMurderingHippo
Maybe these undead don't like water?
bomboy23
Water makes things decompose faster. This has been a complete bullshit comment.
CanadianImgur
Theres a quote by Cotter Pyke that say's there are dead things in the water. So I'd imagine they do quite like the water, at least in books.
DaveTheMurderingHippo
Interesting. Also, if the sea freezes by Eastwatch they'll just walk around the wall. So there is also that.
TheSwedishMoose
I would imagine they don't mind water and could walk along the bottom like in Pirates of the Caribbean, but I doubt they can swim.
SuperLuminalMan
What is dead my never die, but rises again, harder, stronger
GrouchyOscar
Gendry? I know right? Row into the season finale at least.

MRW: They're dead! Nothing stops them from walking underwater! Didn't you see Pirates of the Caribbean?! Row for God's sake!
Iamsonewatthis
I thought about this...couldn't that guy just freeze the water and run after them across the ice?
ManLegit
Have you read world war Z? That's how it starts. A father goes missing while on a diving mission in their old flooded town. The son is bit..

Same thing in Land of the dead
davemymindisgoingicanfeelit
Yeah when it raised it's hands up like that, I thought skeletons were gonna rise up out of the water like searching for the Hoarcruxes

I thought he was going to freeze the sea and walk on it Jesus style
Obi2Kenobi
Yea same here. Ice King FTW!
davemymindisgoingicanfeelit
Yes! I thought that for a second too.

My thoughts were consumed by the giant...like, does he just walk across? Is it shallow enough?
shixma
Big enough to withstand the cold probably.
fatbottomgirlsmaketheworldgoround
I'm still trying to figure the giant out. How will he fit over the wall? Where's his mammoth? Why's he so grumpy? He won't fit on a ship
Schmedes
He'll just go under the wall...like the other giant did.
fatbottomgirlsmaketheworldgoround
i thought he didn't fit in the tunnel.
Schmedes
Him charging through the tunnel is how Grenn died.
Feralkyn
I was afraid he'd go undead, or freeze in the sea x_x
katsuemalibu
How's he gonna fit in any of those ships?
Schmedes
He can't weigh more than a hundred people and ships hold way more than that sometimes.
CGriffo124
Not all into one spot though.
Schmedes
Make him lay down or something. It's better than him becoming a wight.
DarthVaderIsBadAndHisAssistantIsAMouse
I'd assume he walks as far he can, swims the rest, climbs up the rocks by the ships, and eases himself down into a ship (they'e big enough).
justasomeone
he coulda push the boat...
spacemountain
That occurred to me as an option too.
Boredashell
I was more worried about him being taken by the undead. Gotta get close to them to use dragonglass. His reach is longer than yours.
bomboy23
I really thought this was going to happen. Each time I saw him "he's moving slower, he's going down". Nope that's just his speed.
bomboy23
I really thought this was going to happen. Each time I saw him "he's moving slower, he's going down". Nope that's just his speed.

Awww bless. SO GET TO IT! GAWWWDDDUH!
OfficialRedRyderCarbineActionTwoHundredShotRangeModelAirRifle
ChuckZombie
...and then Theon chops off Ramsay's dick and Sansa sews it on for him and they have slow sensual sex upon Ramsay's corpse?
Moefassa
If you browse this thread you'll see that I suggested a similar scenario as well. I like you. We should be friends.
HackerJacker
I'm not sure Theon deserves the redemption there, more likely that Sansa/Brienne has to kill him to get to Ramsay.
purplelama
in all fairness neither did Jaime.
grimfandango
Don't hold your breath though. In the books at least, Reek is too far gone (physically) to ever be Theon again. Also, this is not Disney.
Moefassa
Yeah, I agree it's not very likely. Also on the Disney thing. Still... poetic justice isn't theirs alone ;)

Draevan13
I really, REALLY hope Theon kills him. Or Roose, that'd be good too, by mainly Theon.
Moefassa
Meh. Nobody else deserves it as much, really. It HAS to be Theon.
TransverseHomoclinicPoint
Sansa?
Moefassa
Yeah like I replied to that other guy... She can assist. Theon deserves to get the actual kill though, can't deny that.
TransverseHomoclinicPoint
Yea I agree.
jeffreybaratheon
In terms of just what Ramsay has done to them, sure, but Theon was kinda of an asshole before. Sansa's more innocent.
Hasaan
Reek, Reek, it rhymes with fucking snitch.
jeffreybaratheon
I think they're leaning more towards having Sansa do it. At least I hope they are, poor girl needs a win.
PompatusOfLove
Poor girl is an accessory to murder, twice. I like Sansa, but no pity.
Idonthavealottosay
No way. Reek needs this
TheTypo
semispoiler---> her situation in the books is so much better than the one in the show it's sad, in the books she's still in vale
TacoPuncher
Is it a spoiler if it diverged from the book
QuietLittleLeaf
yeah...I find it interesting that they've put her in such a submissive position. Curious to see what they've planned.
PanEdaCat
Says the suspiciously named @jeffreybaratheon
Moefassa
Oh she can assist. She deserves that much. Also: you get too bad a rap, man. Deffo not the worst asshole in the series. That's still Ramsay.
Spiderbubble
Crazy how Joffrey can actually be topped in asshole levels.
Moefassa
Right?
paddythelion
In the books, it wasn't even clear that Reek = Theon until Sansa sees him in the kennel. Imagine the mindfuck.
sexysquirrel
I remember nearly throwing the book across the room out of surprise when the Reek = Theon connection was made.
SquirrelBones
you clearly hav'nt read the books Sansa never comes anywhere near Reek.
psychoscitzo1
I was kinda confused for a bit too
paddythelion
I read them and I distinctly remember when it was "spoiled" that Reek = Theon. Whether Sansa was there or not, I don't recall 100%.
QuietLittleLeaf
I think it was Jeyne Poole who they all assume is Arya, since theon and her still grey up together in Winterfell.
Sprixxen
I read this not a week ago. The 1st mention is actually Arnolf Karstark who recognizes Theon from when he visited Winterfell.
paddythelion
Ah, yes, that's it. I'd completely forgotten about her.
Moefassa
Oh wow! That must've been fucking shocking yeah! Shame I'll know, when I get around to reading them :/
paddythelion
It was shocking indeed, but the more keen readers claim to have known all along. Obviously.
Moefassa
Ugh. Yeah there's always tons of those.
paddythelion
Don't worry about "missing out" on content, though. They leave *SO* much out from the show. Just the first season cut about 30 characters..
Moefassa
Yeah I've heard a lot about how much the series diverges from the books, which is why it's still on my list. Thanks for reinforcing :)
paddythelion
The only other book I can relate to in terms of character gallery is The Silmarillion or Wheel of Time. Definitely worth the read, enjoy!
pringlesyum
The first season followed the books very closely. Maybe not every character but the storyline was followed.
paddythelion
The main story, yes, but I felt like a lot of details were left out.
NachoDawg
I guess that is a spoiler then, allrighty
chaseNC
No it's not. It's only a spoiler if he knows it happens.
paddythelion
Nope.
Moefassa
Hey sorry, I guess. But you'll forget about it tomorrow, I'm pretty sure :)
Moefassa
Wait, you think I *know* this is gonna happen? I don't. Only hoping, man. Hoping! And if it doesn't, I vow to murder RR mothafuckin Martin!
NachoDawg
Oh, hahaha my bad! x)
AdoIfHitIer
I'm watching in hope that The Hound will come back.
pringlesyum
Next season I hope. Maybe he can rescue Sansa since Brienne sure is taking her sweet ass time. Plus, in the books, Sansa has a crush on him

Keeping my faith in the gravedigger.
PopkinSandwich
If you're interested in book theory, THEORY, not a spoiler, go read the gravedigger theory.
TacoPuncher
It's weird cause I kinda want syrio to have survived, even though I'm sure he got killed
Moefassa
Awww I feel ya there. I liked him. Maybe Carice van Houten can resurrect him ;D
misanthrope304
idk about resurrect, but she's really good at making stuff erect
Moefassa
No shit! I saw her fully naked on stage years ago. Rrrrrrrrrrrawrrrrr
misanthrope304
I've seen her partially naked on my tv a couple times.....am I allowed to hate you?
MarkSummers2015
White Walker Zombie Army
Moefassa
Oh sure, that should be fun. But still. Ramsay needs to get the most horrible death ever shown on TV. The rest is gravy.
idownvoteplottwist
Well with this brilliant idea he has from the latest episode, it might end up turning out that way.
Moefassa
Shush! Ugh, I'm officially refusing to read any more replies on this post now. Haven't watched latest one yet :S
MarkSummers2015
I think they should have the cast of The Walking Dead play the zombies.
Moefassa
Fun idea, but they're now too expensive and have little time, so rather they just get extras or sumthin. Spend more money on Ramsay's death.
CheesusChrisp
I like to imagine Theon making Ramsay call himself "Reek Snow" to remind him he's just a fucking bastard.
TheDreadPirateNeckbeard
Jon Snow
MarkSummers2015
*John Snow nudity
Zwyn
If you meant what I think you meant, yes. I'm totally in for that scene.
Moefassa
(2) also... He's kinda the male version of Kristen Stewart. Only one facial expression.
Moefassa
Hahah awww poor downvoters... Truth hurts, doesn't it? XP
Moefassa
I'm a guy, so neh. And my fav girl (Ygritte) is no longer in the series so yeah... :(
TheDreadPirateNeckbeard
He went from knowing nothing to knowing something
JerryFromPornHub
They aren't zombies, they are wights.
21cutdryguy
I'd say they're closer to a lych, because they have a solid form. Wights (in what I've seen) are more ghastly or ethereal, not having a form
JerryFromPornHub
In the GoT universe they are wights. http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Wights
Moefassa
Potayto potahto. But you're right, of course.
JerryFromPornHub
There is a difference between zombies and wights.
Moefassa
I said you were right. Jeez. You have much to learn, padawan. You sound like all of my ex girlfriends.
BonerSlayer
"oh boy...oh boy...OH BOY!!!" - me during the last scene of E08
Mcrusty
I shit my pants at least 3 times during the last half of that episode.
PeaceWalker47
I honestly can't wait now for the showdown between the White Walkers and the realms of men. Man oh man, it's gonna be badass as fuck
slapmyassandcallmesusan
That staredown tho.....
shadulain
I'll admit, I thought it was all about to go down at Hard Home. So glad I saw that instead of what I expected.
Wrestleabroom
What happened?
fencerman
Seriously, the last few episodes have ratcheted up the tension so high I need to watch some cartoons or something just to settle down after.
TheIrishMike
Crossark
That was (SPOILER FOLLOWS)
Crossark
Literally a fifteen second scene of Jon staring off into space.
shinyRK9
how's that a spoiler? that's what he does 40% of the time, anyway
Lobsterfest10k
They weren't even rowing. I feel like i would be rowing frantically.
onlyonecookie
nah, he was staring at frozen darth maul

I kept expecting to see Brad Pitt.
ImmortalAzrael
It was one of the best scenes in TV history.
IamtheoneandonlyBSquared
*Spoiler* I think Sam's words about Jon 'always coming back' were intended more for the audience than the kid.
zildjianvibes
DONT EVEN
tummyrubs
He practically should've winked at the camera

That's what I'm saying!

Atharaphelun
Leave it to Sam to give a motivational speech to Olly that made him decide to stabby stabby.
slagath0r
WAIT WHAT? OH SHIT IS HE?
ThePotatoBandit
see when i heard that it was hinting that this time will be different so i was like "OH FUCK HE'S NOT GONNA COME BACK NOW, GOD DAMNIT SAM"
ThatSmirkingHorseFromHighgarden
Death flag alert!
slagath0r
same for me, though i don't understand, do people mean he's going to be raised as a walker?
Draevan13
It confirmed the book theories that Valyrian Steel can kill White Walkers/Others and that the Night's King is the main enemy!
zildjianvibes
God it was brilliant.
beejabah
Ah, indeed it was...
beejabah
Well, I mean, it was mentioned in the book that Sam found some lore about dragonsteel, so that wasnt really a theory, just speculation
dootdootfloop
i screamed "valyrian steel is the shit" soon as the boy prettier than both my daughters blocked
YeahWhey
You must have some pretty daughters!
dootdootfloop
very hairy
beejabah
My brother enjoys watching sports and often yells in accordance with events that are happening in a game. GoT is my sports. Needless to(1/2)
beejabah
(2/2) say, there was lots of yelling on my part during that battle scene.
dootdootfloop
yeah way better than any sport i know lus no one else has to be involved
beejabah
hooray for introvertism!
bunkerbuster
Dude, spoilers.
beejabah
No not really
PopkinSandwich
GoT posts are dark and full of spoilers.
notme222
Not really a spoiler, the point is those are things the show demonstrated first. (You just didn't know the main Walker's name.)
eetsumkaus
didn't they SAY dragonsteel killed them? It's not really a theory...
80percentlegs
They're not certain that dragonsteel = Valyrian steel. Although they're pretty sure. Theory is a strong word but it was still a confirmation
Draevan13
Yes, but it wasn't sure that "dragonsteel" and Valyrian steel were the same. Now we know they are.
Arkonitez
I feel it needed a cameo by Milla Jovavich to seal the deal.
JeromeHamtaro
Dude they already had Mastodon, what more can you ask for?
beejabah
My brother screams at the tv during sports games. Game of Thrones is like my sports. Needless to say there was lots of screaming for E08
HangryWolf
I had this same epiphany in the shower earlier!! After that episode I thought "wow... I finally understand sports fanatics"
KeatonX92
I knew exactly what was going to happen and I still "Oh boy!"'d when it actually happened.
dootdootfloop
i dont often scream at the tv but whn i do white walkers are being dicks and a giant has a giant match
PopkinSandwich
Hey wait...did that giant just go into the water and that was it?
dootdootfloop
if he can kick ass like that im sure he can swim too of float on that cloud of sass we takes everywhere
PopkinSandwich
That's what I was hoping, but the whole time I was like, dude, you're in arrow range row that fucking boat. WHO'S ROWING
dootdootfloop
i think they should have been further out at sea by the last shot for i would be rowing like a mofo or giant should push thee cunts
CatsPitBullsAndBooksOhMy
knowing how book 5 ends, i thought that was the end for him. full on macaulay culkin in home alone hands.
Feralkyn
FUCK! DON'T SAY THAT! I HAVEN'T READ THE BOOKS. You just reverted us to Pic 1 back up there.
CatsPitBullsAndBooksOhMy
wtf are you doing reading all the comments, man.
Feralkyn
I thought it would be safe if I'd seen the show! I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SAAAAAAAAAAAFE
CatsPitBullsAndBooksOhMy
You're never safe. You never will be again. I'm sorry. Godspeed, my child.
aureolus
Probably the best episode of GoT so far
MrSpindles
Up there with the battle of Blackwater bay for me. I watched it 3 times!
CallMeInV
Everything we've been waiting for for YEARS happened in 1 episode. Shove every fanservice into an hour, it was amazing.
onlyonecookie
...seriously?
aureolus
which one was for you?
onlyonecookie
best episode? nothing from this season, that's for sure. The Red Wedding episode was good, Blackwater was well done. I just felt like this 1
onlyonecookie
battle didn't have enough tension, since it was mostly with characters we didn't know. And I'm sorry, but those skeletons were hokey. 2/2
zildjianvibes
You know something, you might well be right, now I think about it. I've been slowly gettting bored this season. NO LONGER.
TheGate
Yeah, this episode was the first one in a while that I enjoyed ALL of it. Not just a few storylines. And the fight scene... yes.
beejabah
Indubitably
Lexsteel11
E08? Found the torrenter.
beejabah
Wha...What do you mean? It came out Yesterday!
pringlesyum
The one episode worth it this season. The rest has been abysmal but that last scene, wow, the dread...
notme222
I'd wager most book readers went more nuts over the Dany/Tyrion conversation than the walker fight. (Though that was cool too.)
LoneDirewolf
I didn't. I feel like they're just gonna sit around and talk about past histories involving their families
zackofspades
Personally I loved the 'Hi Lord of Bones...Bye Lord of Bones!' haha fuck you Rattleshirt.
BatsuitsNipples
Wait, have they finally met up? It bothered me that her plot was completely unconnected to the rest of the story
1AMTHEBATMAN
As a book reader, I actually really love the tyrion/dany change as well as the who white walker attack at the end!
jeffreybaratheon
I was so goddamn excited watching them start to plan together. Cannot wait for this pair to go into action.
zildjianvibes
God I was intellectually masturbating with both hands.
lostartz
go on ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
zildjianvibes
My penis was involved.
hearthstoneaccount3
na we know whats gonna happen in Epi 10 so it kinda kills the fun out of it. Plus the dialog was utter shit
zildjianvibes
I wouldn't put it past the writers postponing "that" for a while.
hearthstoneaccount3
Its already been filmed.
zildjianvibes
Well shit.
jeffreybaratheon
How...none of this has happened in the books yet.
hearthstoneaccount3
Drogo and the pit and Dany getting her bloodriders back? Yes it has happened in the books
AnthonyBlumpkins
Do you mean Drogon?
jeffreybaratheon
It may not play out the same way with Tyrion around though.
beejabah
That's actually happening in E09, next week, if you're referring to the thing I think you're referring to that has to do with daenerys
hearthstoneaccount3
na its too perfect for a finale moment IMO but if they choose to do it for episode 9 then so be it :P
beejabah
idk, i think the OTHER THING that happens up north is even better as a finale moment and would serve to get more viewers for the next season
BarryBFoldinFan
how would you know that? seems like a pretty appropriate season finale/cliffhanger to me, but that's just like my opinion, man
beejabah
Well, I mean, i think you know what the other option for the last scene of the season is, and i think that that may be better.

naturenick
Nah, the walker fight was balls to the wall crazy. Best bit this season.
shinyRK9
Rage fuel in 3, 2, 1: wasn't too hard to be the best bit this season
Spaminal
Definitely made up for the few filler episodes of this season!
KansasComrade
I don't understand how with 800 pages they still kill time
QuantumSupersexposition
i'm on the fence w/ the latest episode… didn't feel like a lot developed… just a jumble of incomplete scenes. I'll eat my words next week.
QuantumSupersexposition
I realize that has a little to do with the storytelling, round-robin style, but it seems to me that last season and (possibly this
QuantumSupersexposition
…one left way too many loose ends. yes, I'm a show watcher… let the book readers rain their shit-storm down upon my shit face. (end)

slagath0r
may i ask what happened in the books? did this never happen?
Noughmad
It didn't happen yet. We hope it will.
ThatSmirkingHorseFromHighgarden
It never happened. It's very likely to happen, but it hasn't happened yet.
HeeeyBrother
the way I see it, they killed Barristan so early in the season so Tyrion can take his place as Dany's adviser. It was good but somehow 1/2
HeeeyBrother
predictable. Now, the white walkers fight, I guess I hadn't say that many "no" since the red wedding I was trully worried for Lord Snow. 2/2

Shit got so real, so fast...

did you just respond with the same gif?
BATTLEPIMP
And so did I
LoneDirewolf
Of all that happened, my oh shit moment was the Valyrian steel sword
JanitorsApprentice
I love at the end when dude raises his arms staring at Jon. I feel like Jon pissed himself in that moment.
ImmortalAzrael
I'm pretty sure everyone who was still alive pissed themselves.
Scyle
all I could think of was "come at me bro!" with that pose
WeGotAHulk
i thought he was gonna freeze the sea. then they would have been really fucked
Myharoth
That's what I thought too.
thewidowsson
Well it is the strongest stuff in GoT
WeShallDoubleOurEfforts
I was literally hopping in my seat and waving my arms when that happened. I've never had that response to a TV show before!
eBLT4
Me too! I jumped off the sofa and gave Jon a standing ovation
WeShallDoubleOurEfforts
Heh, I gave my buddy a high five afterwards. I couldn't contain myself!
allofthat
I SAW THAT MOMENT COMING AND WAS SO FUCKING STOKED WHEN IT DID

I did about this time last night. Went straight to oblivion.
Jayvolr
Best. Fucking. Moment.
ASAPSleep
I liked when the little kids fucked that hot chick up
ASAPSleep
No I didn't. The sword part was cooler
MaximumSausage
That was so stupid. She could see they were DEAD AND ROTTED. Why are people afraid to murder children? Wait...that came out wrong.
MaximumSausage
My hubby said "FINALLY" when that happened because up until then the show gave no indication the steel was magical like in the books.
jalex1215
My question is: does this confirm that Vsteel is dragon steel im the books?
MaximumSausage
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
MetalGreymon
Yes.
soukmania
May I ask for a bit of help: do you know how many episodes are left until season complete to binge watch without spoilers/waiting?
IAmDrBanner
Each season has 10 episodes. So, 2 more.
soukmania
thank you. So it means two weeks?
IAmDrBanner
Yarp.
soukmania
You da real mvp. It's real tricky to search for this answer on the web if you don't want spoilers.
