Popular Post Davkaus Posted May 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Still occasionally watching old scenes. I miss what this show was. There's a lot of talk of Dinklage and Bean being great casting choices, but Charles Dance was incredible. Give me this over any battle choreography or dragon CGI.

I think I’m gonna rewatch the whole thing from the start. I miss this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really I think ned stark dying was a shock as I think most of us expected him to be saved in some capacity. It is ashame they killed him off so quickly. Imagine they did what they did to him at the red wedding instead of robb stark? x10 for shock factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 23, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2019 I didn't think the mountain and the viper was that shocking either. I saw that one coming a mile off. As soon as he didn't immediately kill him you knew he was bond-villaning it and he'd get ****. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It set the precedent for the show. Plus, the Red Wedding would never have happened if Ned Stark wasn't killed. In fact the majority of the story wouldn't have happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 For as good a scene as the red wedding was, mountain vs the viper was, ned etc I still think hardhome was the best episode, that was incredible 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the story had already started going downhill by then, but the episodes were still great. The one after that like I said earlier when the night king kills the dragon and turns him I thought was still brilliant, even though things had already started getting a bit silly by then (Travelling the 1500 miles or so and back to get Dany in like a day for example) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have as he was upset Rob didn't marry one the houses daughters and he could have taken it out on ned. But yeah I see your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but the only reason Robb was promised to one of the daughters was because they wanted to cross the Trident, because they were going south to wage war with the Lannisters because they killed Ned. No killing Ned, no war, no march South, no promise to marry Frey's daughter, no breaking of the promise, no Red Wedding Edited May 23, 2019 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that would make the whole story of the first season (or book) pointless. I'll say it again Dem, no offence, but did you actually watch this show? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By far though s8 was the worse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mark Albrighton Posted May 23, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2019 Although my knowledge of this show is very much based on this thread, my mates WhatsApp chat about the show and just general cultural osmosis, this seemingly 100% genuine pitch meeting appears to cover and answer a lot of the criticisms of the past six episodes. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
