Arya no longer being into Bionicles is an utter betrayal.

In isolation I like the scene with Yara and Theon in Meereen, if only because as always Alfie slays with his acting, and it makes sense for him to relapse every now and again into a Reek like state. I can buy the idea of him constantly switching across S6 from being traumatized to acting brave because the one thing that snapped him out of his trance and kept him going initially was his will to save Sansa and get her to safety. The problem starts when the writers somehow decide that despite being malnourished, suffering from abuse and torture, not really caring about himself anymore, clinging to sanity only because of Sansa's presence, not having any resources, being wanted all over the North, insert many other reasons here, Theon suddenly is well, resilient and mentally balanced enough to walk by his lonesome all the way across the dangerous North to find a phantom ship to take him to the Iron Isles for no real reason. The organic sequence of events should have been him going along with the crew to Castle Black where he could then begin his mental and physical recovery. Of course his firsts encounters with Jon would probably be tense and force him to revert into his Reek persona, but we could see him slowly start to heal through interactions with Jon and Sansa (maybe other characters too), and finally getting to talk about the hell he experienced with Ramsay. On top of that, seeing as he knows Ramsay the best, courtesy of having been victimized by him for three seasons straight, he could have provided Jon information on how he operates and how to best manipulate him. He could have had a major role in the defeat of Ramsay, and that way Theon could have gotten some sort of closure. But no, instead Theon was yeeted out of his own subplot, which was then handed solely to Sansa as if she was the only one who suffered under Ramsay's control, as if she was the one who had her identity stolen and destroyed, only to be rebuilt as a dog devoted to its master, and was forced to become Yara's hype man. They writers couldn't even deign to give him a scene where he reacts to the death of Ramsay, the main antagonist of his storyline jfc, or have Yara show an ounce of empathy and try to hear him out.

Tormund calling that blue dude "The Night King" is even weirder. The Night's King was a historical figure from thousands of years ago, some Lord Commander of the Night's Watch who allegedly married a Wight and started doing blood sacrifices or some shit. The Night's King was killed I think, and even if he wasn't, it was thousands of years ago, so assuming it's the same guy (and calling him the slightly wrong name) is just bewildering. It would be like if I saw a Nazi flag in my town and said aloud "oh shit guys I think Ando Hitler is back, alive, and coming to get us!" Actually, that's far too recent! It would be more like if I saw a dude on a horse and was like "Holy shit is that Norman King Willy the Conqueror?!"

@samc9516

We learn the book's Night's King was defeated, but not sure if it ever says he was dead but I would assume so; it's said "a woman was his downfall", and my understanding is that she was a female Other rather than a wight. Regardless, we know that the Night's King was a human and humans usually do die at some point in thousands of years. We also know from the show that the Night King was made by the Children due to the coming of the First Men which led to the Long Night which predates the Wall itself, let alone the thirteenth Lord Commander. We know that the show's Night King was the first White Walker and we know that the book's Night's King made sacrifices to the Others. So we know they are different people. So why the hell Bran and Tormund chose a confusingly similar name (independently) is beyond me. I think the truth is D&D stole the name because it's cool and got it wrong and GRRM used that to emphasise that they are not the same thing because personally I highly doubt the Others will have a "king" presented in the same way the show did.

The scenes at Bear Island and Deepwood Motte are early examples of how the writers decided that Sansa was going to be the diplomatic equivalent of a shotgun blast to the face -- I don't think she ever persuades anyone of anything in the final three seasons, and her specialty is to just antagonize whoever she's talking to while looking sour. Partly this is because D&D think this makes her look cool, I guess, but this is a truly ridiculous way to write a character whose strengths are supposed to be people skills and courtesies.

Maisie Williams was terrific to watch, such a good actress. What D and D did to her character is just unforgivable. Her development from one of the most believable characters to a marvel super hero is a disgrace. I have to this day never watched the rest of season 8 after episode 3.

I do like the idea of Sandor killing Gregor as a mercy killing. He's done with revenge, and is destroying the abomination and putting his brother's soul to rest. A conversation along the road to King's Landing with Arya explaining that was his aim, could have done so much. It could have been presented as one of many conversations they'd had during the weeks of travel But no time, had to wrap everything up in three episodes so King's Landing is only two blocks from Winterfell. That's where the jetpacking really hurts things. If you accept that things still take time and they're just not showing that anymore, then you have to give some indication that things have happened offscreen. If consecutive episodes are supposed to be actually weeks or months apart (e.g. Beyond the Wall & The Dragon and the Wolf) then at least do something with beards, hair, and clothes to give some indication time has passed. One of my favorite lines comes from Stargate SG1, where Teal'c explains to another that forgiveness is really more for the forgiver than the forgiven. Sandor forgiving Gregor doesn't absolve the mountain for what he did, it allows Sandor to move on towards being a better man.

I'd rather have seen Cleganebowl crop up as a chance encounter. The early seasons spent a lot of time establishing that the Mountain is a violent sadist with a short fuse, and the Hound has some mix of hate and despair that it was his own brother who scarred him in the fire. It seems like the Hound dislikes his brother, and while he gripes about him, it doesn't exactly seem like he's intent on killing him. The later seasons' obsessive revenge theme didn't seem to fit well. I'd think the Hound would be more interested in staying out of the way somewhere, just trying to avoid people and bullshit in general. If he happened to come across his brother, it could have been a situation where the Hound finally decides to kill the Mountain, even though he's not ready for that level of action. Their paths could cross when Sandor arrives just a little too late to prevent the Mountain from hurting a random "little dove", maybe in some random village that earned Cersei's scorn or something. Anyhoo, the Hound would realize that he's got to stop his broski from hurting any more innocent people, and there you go - Cleganebowl.

Not gonna lie, the copium "Arya is Jaquen H'gar" theory based on gathering a bunch of "hints" throughout the episode and examining the lore of the tv series and the faceless men turning out to be just a bunch of monumental fuckups by the writing staff and Arya actually having the plot armour made me absolutely fucking wheeze.

Theon and Varys could’ve spoken to each other about the trauma they had both experienced, I think that would have been an amazing opportunity- but as a side-note, Alfie Allen is really good at portraying trauma and ptsd, like wow.

Two years and people are still angry enough to justify such a video. They fucked up really badly, really badly.

I think Brother Ray is just the closest he's had to a friend and had he been given the time would have become even better friends. Had they become much closer, I think the Hound would have cut down the Brotherhood to avenge him. His warpath was mostly his pain that his chance at a real friend was taken.

The cold opening with the Hound and Brother Ray can be described as some sort of water ride you'd find in a theme park. Good acting, good cinematography, (Aside from the potato's) , and pretty good lines. However just like any good water slide, it ends with a gigantic splash of "Fuck you, go swim in a river daddy glidus!" I'd say best cold open but its really more of precursor to how bad the rest of the show would go on to be. So artificial...

When I learned that there was no twist to the Arya stabbening is the moment I completely emotionally checked out of GOT. Before that, I was still hoping they could somehow right the ship. I still stuck it out and watched the rest of GOT, maybe for a sense of sunk cost or maybe out of morbid curiosity. But nothing after this pissed me off to this level again, because I could no longer muster the will to care.

Covering spears in human shit was an actual medieval tactic. It was an infection so bad and so rapid they couldn't fix it. The smallest nick was a death sentence. Edit- okay so I just finished feast and either I think far more time had passed in the books than actually has or the time is kinda screwy in westeros, the red wedding happens in storm if memory serves me right yet by the time Jamie takes command over the seige of riverrun less than 9 months have passed given his question to robbs widow, how has it been less than a year since the red wedding? Jamie left from riverrun before the red wedding traveling to kings landing before he and Brianne are set upon by Hoat and his men where they are kept for an undisclosed amount of time, before roose sends Jamie along he turns around to save Brianne from the bear pit, arrives in kings landing AFTER joffery died, tyrions trial happened tywin died and Brianne has traveled a great dead yet by the time Jamie arrives at riverrun and speaks to the westerling girl she's supposed to be so newly pregnant Jamie has to ask if she's pregnant, in fact it's been less than 9 months since the red wedding in general since edmures child hasn't been born yet either. Yet they all know she's pregnant it just doesn't make sense and my head hurts.

Thanks for the video glimbus, appreciate your hard work and dedication to the series.

It doesn't make sense that they all know that the white walker boss is the Night King, but they all probably know of the Night King since he's a part of one of the old stories they all heard as children. So Thormund and all the others would know of the "the Night KIng", what doesn't make sense is that they all just assume that the random white walker guy is him, that one Nights Watch leader from the story that takes place thousands of years ago. The only way it makes sense is if the wildlings version of the story always included the part where "the Night King" became the white walker king.

oh we didn't take the wiki stuff down just because it wasn't worth it - would YOU spend 5 minutes copy-editing episode 6.7's nonsensical recap, when no one reads it anymore? Oh we will gear up for it, but we need to prioritize writing House of the Dragon articles. One day we'll revise the whole thing to reflect on D&D. But consider at the time, no one wanted us to remove such speculation. They were in denial.

I am annoyed that they don't even mention the Manderly's. They couldn't even do a scene where they send a raven and later get a reply. They could've sent Davos to White Harbour and have him talk to Wyman and have him mention a dead son and an imprisoned one and that's why he doesn't help Jon, because he doesn't want more Manderly blood spilt over nothing. Guess this couldn't be done because it took more than 5 brain cells to think of.

The Hound Jaime,and Bronn were my favs and they screwed them up in the last 3 seasons. They wrecked Jaime's redemption arc and the Valen'Qar prophecy. They turned Bronn into a joke character at the end instead the badass/also reformed mercenary i always saw him as. And they had the perfect oppurtunity to reunite the Hound and Arya early on and fucked that as well. I only have seasons 1-5 on dvdd and the books, thats where the series ends for me.

I'm kind of pissed about the Theon thing too because like. It affected him SO MUCH that it's in the frickin' soundtrack! You can tell! His theme/leitmotif changes when he's "Ramsay's" so much that it nearly becomes Ramsay's leitmotif! It keeps the same progression as Theon's/the Iron Islanders' theme, but takes on the pace and overall mood/rhythm of the Boltons. It's very blatant and it's all just pushed aside! I'm so serious listen to "What is dead may never die", then "Let's play a game", then "Reek". It's so clear what's happening and it's a shame it never went anywhere.

I burst out laughing at the "each Northerner is worth 100 Southron swords" bit, I love seeing those kind of sayings put together mathematically I also am not the biggest fan of what happened to Theon (or really any character), but the fact that Theon doesn't ever mention Ramsay is kind of realistic. Loads of people who undergo extremely traumatic experiences will clam up about it completely afterwards, from war veterans to S.A. to horrific accidents. I'm not saying that I agree with Theon never bringing up Ramsay ever again, but it isn't a crazy deal-breaker for me. Now almost the entirety of the rest of Seasons 6-8, those Seasons are deal-breakers

Imagine a world where Sansa brings Theon to a prison cell, and offering him to get revenge on a malnourished and mutilated Ramsay, thinking revenge would make him whole or something like that. Just as she said that "rape made her strong" and how she got revenge on Ramsay. Only for Theon to break down because just being close to Ramsay, no matter which state he's in triggers Theon's trauma too much. Idk, you could even use that to make Sansa reflect on what she's been through without making it a "yas queen" Girlpower moment but instead a somber one where she reveals to Theon later how she puts on a facade all the time. Just an idea.
