Sort of strange that she hasn't been involved in any talk or reference to sex at all really then just went for it. (I think the hound said something about anyone but him would have raped her but that was it). That tunic has pretty good cheb flattening properties as well.

David Kelly 1244 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I think they could have easily covered the first two episodes in one longer episode. I guess we'll have to see how the next four episodes pan out to discover how whether they have paced it correctly though. It seems they're setting it up a bit too obviously for some dead to rise from the crypts with the amount of times they've mentioned it's safe down there. I'm hoping this is a bit of a bluff or it's going to be something more surprising happening down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the last 4 are all around 80 minutes each. The whole of next episode is the battle, longest in film/tv history apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5217 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 If it's the longest in TV history because it needs to be, then great. If it's just 'to be the longest in TV history' then it'll be annoying. I thought the first two episodes were pretty pointless thus far. Especially that second one. Clearly we are going to lose many main characters. Ok. I'm not even that invested in the white walkers since, as Renton points out, clearly they will be defeated.

It’d be worth it to see a zombie Ned Stark swinging a sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4378 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 There must be a "freshness" factor in the quality of Wight that can be reanimated given decomposition - Ned would be pushing it I reckon but Rickon might be okay. Not sure if Robb and Catelyn made it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the Starks we've seen aren't there, probably only Rickon made it to a proper grave considering the circumstances of their deaths but even he fell in the middle of a battle field and was run over by a cavalry charge...so maybe not. I think the crypts thing will have to be a double bluff of some sort, or will play out differently than we may expect, its too obvious otherwise.

So if we are doing the whole "dead starks rise from their graves" thing then he probably will appear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense, I half remembered there being some sort of deal when the Lannister’s were fighting the Starks but there was a good chance I was misremembering so that clears it up. Theon, I started re watching from the start of the program and I had forgotten what an almighty bellend he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4378 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 They referred to sending his bones back (a gesture by Tyrion I think) but his head was on a spike - if he does appear they probably hope we forget that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21588 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Wouldn't Sean Bean get royalties if a zombie Ned rise from the crypts, head stitched on like Frankensteins monster? Given the makers seem to be in money saving mode (e.g. Cersei lost her appearance fee last episode) no way is Ned coming back imo. I genuinely hope Martin has thought of a brilliant ending to this series, would be a shame to end on a bum note. Not long to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30569 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 The last episode is what is known as a bottle episode. They've clearly been saving the budget for the upcoming installments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21912 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I’m starting to suspect that dragon tits might end up turning to the dark side. She might be the breaker of chains but she didn’t sound overly chuffed when John Snow revealed his true identity. Now is that because she has moral concerns about her nephew slipping her a length or because she’s threatened by his claim to the iron throne? It’ll Interesting to see if they end up fighting or fucking once they’ve dispatched the undead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4378 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I don't think Jon is that driven though - he'd probably be okay with being a consort though I think the North issue will hinder that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5217 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Aye but that's too easy an ending. Also, it seemed to me that he found a bit of truth in the what Tarly was saying about Dany. She is a bit of psycho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1244 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I think Dragon Tits showed her true colours in the last episode when Jon told her who he really was. It was interesting to see that to him the issue was his love for her and for her it was that there might be someone (well there is someone but the proof isn't going to just be believed by everyone) with a better claim to the iron throne than her. I don't know whether she will go postal but I don't think she's going to be happy being the queen to her uncles King. Regarding Ned, Littlefinger took his bones back to Catlyn and we can assume his skull was with them (or it would have been an insult to them rather than a peace offering) and there is an assumption that those bones were took back to Winterfell (Jon and others have been down in the crypts to visit their 'father'). Whether or not a corpse that has had its head removed could be risen by the Night King remains to be seen, but if Sean Bean had been anywhere near the production you would have thought that there's no way they could have kept it quiet. Cat or Robb could possibly be there too as we've never heard anything about what happened to their bodies although Robb (in the books at least) was spoken of as having Grey Wind's head stitched onto his after the red wedding so if that's the case there is the same headless corpse question about him too. Personally I'd think if there's any of the dead Stark's who we have already met going to rise it will be Rickon, but I think it's most likely that it's the long dead Starks who will pop up.
