Official Game of Thrones Season 6 Thread

So what do you think Cersei is going to be doing while this battle w/ White Walkers is going on? I don't believe she'll be concerned with Ice Zombies, I believe she'll be involved with the fallout of her actions, incluing the political vacuum that will be left after the capital is destroyed. The destabilized kingdom is a haven for more political drama. The Throne Room being destroyed doesn't mean the kingdom is. That is what I mean when I say I believe the political aspects of the show will continue, even while a White Walker plot is going on.

I doubt she'll even be alive. Heading into the home stretch a lot of these characters are going to start outliving their usefulness, narratively speaking.

I get that you guys like these parts of the show but it's going to become increasingly difficult to sell the White Walkers as a credible threat if major characters can ignore them and focus on mundane topics like who sits on what throne, or who holds what land. That was fine 3-4 seasons ago, heading into the final stretch it's silly.

It reminds me of the time "24" detonated a nuke in L.A. Meanwhile most of the characters on the show don't even reference it two episodes later. It cheapens and undermines the threat. Which is forgivable on "24"....not on this show.

But they've already defied their "sole purpose" by killing Children of the Forrest. Why? Because they are the ugly, evil dark lords he says fantasy doesn't need anymore?

I don't think that lines up with the quote but I guess we'll see.

At least this got me talking about something other than Sansa.

The way I've been seeing it is the White Walkers are like the computers in standard sci-fi once they reach the singularity and realize that to save humans they must destroy humans or incorporate them into one of them.

It could also be to possibly save all of them. I have no basis for this but the next winter could be eternal. The only reason they're seen as evil is because of the value placed on human life by humans.

Episode 9's make legends man. i can't rank this episode higher than Blackwater because as much as I wanted Stannis to win,I didn't want Tyrion to lose. Every other battle been pretty one sided are far as who to root for but this was still up there on some epic war movie type shyt.

Danarys that Danarys this. Danarys that,Danarys this,Danarys got no ships. Danarys left her city and kids like a thot on a all-star weekend trip.Get off Danarys dikk. She know what y'all trying to do..Unleash the dragons on em Guru! Lets get the proceedings proceeding this evening! Drogon the big dog your cannonballs is like fleas And the little homie Tyrion like a guardian to me,Tell them what you see. Yall not as hard as she,hard as the big three,we the T-A-R-G nikka. I'm not gonna slander Danarys actions this episode, she played it cool and listened to Tyrion and might be finally be understanding that you can't keep making empty threats about destroying everyone. Still don't see why she wants to leave bigger land she runs to attempt to takeover smaller land she's never ever known.

Ramsay fukkboy levels stay over 9000.My beloved wife... John should've bodied him at the parlay.He was highkey shook when Snowman told him pull up for the 1 v 1 fade though.Where's bruh who said Ramsay was a top swordsman in the west side. Cotdamn I ain't seen a nikka duck a 1 v 1 that hard since @Spud34 and @HALLOWEEN call of duty fiasco.

Sansa- why won't you listen to me about ramsay? i know him!
Jon - what should i do?
Sansa - i don't know.
Jon - Kitchen..

Theon looked like the high school bully who went to a job interview and saw it was being given by the nerd he used to stuff in lockers. The short remembers. Yara with the mad king clapback though. You sure you want to compare terrible dads on fathers day? We damn near sisters....scissor sisters

I know rickon aint no goon but you cant be next to a nikka trying to kill you and just stand there. Steal his knife,kick him in the shin,poke him in the eye or something. Gotta pour something out for the lil homie though,I can't take no more Starks dying. He ain't never did nothing to get the death Walder Frey deserves except be a kid in episode 9 but we knew lil homie was done before he used that 5.4 speed to run that fly pattern and catch that Ram Newton longbomb. It would've been so dope if Jon saved him just because it would've pissed Ramsay off and still would've got him to charge. Ramsay didn't need a another kill and we didn't need another example of Ramsay being sadistic. He should've survived and wifed up Lil lady Mormont.

fukkers in the Film Room telling me,always in the Game of Thrones thread,Jon Snow ain't bout this,Jon Snow ain't bout that, my boy a Targaryan with Aegon and them, SHUT THE fukk UP! He, he they say that nikka don’t be putting in no work SHUT THE fukk UP! Y'all nikkas ain’t know shyt. All yall motherfukkers talk about Jon Snow ain’t no hitta. Jon Snow ain’t this,Jon Snow a fake Stark SHUT THE fukk UP Y'all don’t live with that nikka Y'all know that nikka got caught with the Longclaw cutting through White Walkers and shyt. nikka been a legend since fukking,I don’t know when! Motherfukkers stop fukkin' playin' him like that That nikka was with the wildlings out there.If I catch another motherfukker talking sweet about Jon Snow I’m fukking negging they ass! I’m not fukking playing no more You know that nikka roll with Tormund and them!

The hood love Snowsa, If you thought Jon was gonna sit there and watch Fly Route Rickon get killed this must be the 1st episode of GoT you ever watched. That's not who he is. That's not what heroes do.Yeah Ramsay lured him out but it was a real nikka move and real nikka moves is why people put respek on his name.

Let's play a game called guess which Bolton.

Who used Fly Route Rickon as bait to lure Jon Snow to Winterfell to fight a war he didn't want to fight? Sansa Bolton or Ramsay Bolton?
Who discarded Rickon like he was trash after Jon Snow got to Winterfell? Sansa Bolton or Ramsay Bolton?
Whose plan involved getting tons of the men fighting for their side killed so their second wave of guys could win the battle? Sansa Bolton or Ramsay Bolton?

Exactly. Sansa is a bigger c*nt than her mom ever was. She really kept life saving information from her brother who was putting his and his mens lives on the line for her and wrote off her other brother. She used Jon a 3 war veteran as cannon fodder.That's not how Starks roll. That's some Bolton shyt. Robb was going to go all the way to Kings Landing to bring her dumb ass back and she didn't even flinch when when Rickon got hit up. Lord Neddard rolling over in his crypt. You would think someone who has been in all the trouble she has because of being self serving would would realize how important it is to look out for people but nah. Its still all about her. I hope she marries little finger for political reasons and after he nuts in her Bran comes back for his spot and little finger throws her out the moon door in a fit of rage.

We outnumber the other side by 3-1, let's rain down arrows on the battlefield where we have a 75% chance of hitting our own men? Sure you nikkas wanna call Ramsay Bolton a military genius? At what point as a Bolton man do you say "Yo I'm dodging friendly fire/firing on my own guys man fukk this shyt." Even when Jon got in Winterfell those Bolton men still stayed loyal to the lost cause. Next episode needs to start with Jon hanging some people. Ramsay talked all that shyt and when it came down to it, ran like a chump then let Jon Snow walk up on him and give him the beats. House Bolton died of mad dogs that was the end of they chapter except for Sansa Bolton still here fukking shyt up. Karstarks and the Umbers need to be on their last pages too for the disrespect. Ramsay bytchass could die 10 times 10 different ways and i still wouldn't be satisfied. They should've cut out his tongue and his hands and fed them to his dogs then had Reek Mills have him play the route run game like Rickon did or something. His death was way too quick for a dude who was the most evil person on TV for 3 years. Should've got flayed or something.

I see Little Finger working. He already got the warden of the east in his back pocket, he finesses his way into being warden of the north that's a lot of real estate and soldiers to have backing you when you decide to attempt to snatch the throne. We know he isn't giving Sansa to Cersei because she knows that he really killed Joffrey plus Cersei got her own problems and she ain't got the power she had last time he was in Kings Landing. He gonna be hurt next week when the north names the god that drowned in a sea of people Jon Snow the king of the north.

It don't look like Jamie is going to get back in time to stop Cersei from going pyro on the Septon temple and it look like he about to get caught in a red wedding reboot. All I know is that this season better not end with another Danarys scene unless she's on ships going west.

R.I.P. to the big big homie Wun two times. You lost a lot of HP that you didn't have to lose because wildlings don't know what strategy means. You were the first giant to make it to the other side of the wall. You died the way you lived, breaking down doors.

 

[duncanthetall]

Blackfish could've left that seige with all of his soldiers alive

He could have but he explained why he wouldn't.

 

[Krispy]

Someone in here quoted GRRM as having said he regretted creating Rickon cause he had nothing for him, so I doubt he's very important in the books, either.

But potential winners to the Iron Throne??? That's still what you think this all about???

Yeah GRRM did say he plans on ending the series on an epilogue. And you never know he's been writing the Winds of Winter since I don't know when, he could of easily changed his mind. I still have hope

 

[Brofato]

She's a northern Cersei at this point. Plus she sent a raven to Littlefinger. We got no notice that he was actually 100% going to show up. Why would she base their battle plan around an uncertainty? It irks me how people are harping on this

People 'want' cunning Sansa more than cunning Sansa makes sense. Whole thing is written for people who say that episodes are 'bad' because certain characters didn't do what someone wanted them to do

nice clickbait article that can only exist before the season finale drops though

but cool she can be Cersei of the North. That doesn't mean she's cunning. Remember that Cersei is the dumbest broad in her whole fukking house and has doomed her family thinking that she's smarter than she really is.

Cunning as fukk, right?

That's an insult calling her Cersei of the north if anyone knows Cersei's character.

The one thing about Cersei that keeps getting her fukked is that she likes to play well above her station when it would be in her best interest to make moves that fit with how people would see her. She wants to be Tywin but no one sees her as that so that's the wrong way to move. And Tywin said it himself, she's not as smart as she thinks she is.

Sansa on the other hand, the reason I've liked her arc is that she's played the role people expect and has survived because of it. When Tyrion stopped her from being beaten by Meryn fukking Trant he says at the end of that scene that she "just might survive us after all."

Just in this last episode she admits that she knows nothing of battle plans but she does know the enemy. A good hero's story has the hero take lumps and then learn from it. When everyone expected her to boss up, she got humbled and is still learning. The fact that she's bad at it and figuring it out makes her a good character to me.

Because he's a senile old man with too much pride.

Yal Sansa apologists keep missing her biggest flaw - she has made zero true allies since season one. And people actually want to like her. Brienne can't trust her. Littlefinger tried to trust her but she couldn't manipulate Ramsay like he thought she could. Jon can't trust her because she wouldn't even keep it 100 with him after he built her an army when he wanted nothing to do with another fight. No living Stark likes her. Tyrion and Cersei were ambivalent. Like...

What is she going to do? The last 3 episodes showed that the Stark name doesn't mean shyt - and she can't draw loyal allies for the life of her. At least Cersei could recruit. Sansa hasn't made or fulfilled a single long-term plan centered around her. Her best play would be to change her name to Tully and claim Winterfell as part of the Vale before Littlefinger can and will.

If anything, her arc just shows that you can go through every ordeal, every hardship, and still be a dumbass to be used by everyone else.

HBO in scramble mode without the books, and just some bullet-points to go off of. Writing is painstakingly shoddy this season at times.They think we should just marvel at the payoff and big, shiny, bright lights and not remember how we got here. nikkas just trying to finish up as fast as possible now.

It's funny when people say this. You haven't the slightest clue how much or how little input they receive from Martin.

Is it me or did the weather get better in the North since last season? What's up, is Winter Coming or what?

Is this George or the TV show runners though? I read the books, it's snowing like a mutha at the end of the last book.

Some things you have to chalk up to the limitations of film. How could you film a battle in the weather conditions described in the books? Horses would be in danger of freezing to death, they couldn't charge across the battlefield in waist deep snow because of the risk of breaking a leg, and not to mention the risk to all the actors.

Would you rather see something like that or what we saw on Sunday?

I thought about the snow too but some things are easy for me to overlook.

I forgot all about about this ridiculousness. I was about to ask if this was the same season terrorists released nerve gas at CTU and at a mall, but I think that was the season before they let off a suitcase nuke in LA

 

[Bounty]

Latest episode was

Snowman giving Ramsey that work

 

[duncanthetall]

If their "sole purpose" is to kill men, where does killing other species fit into that? Or do you believe the children are men?

Ayo you're in here constantly assuming shyt. Not trying to be mean but chill

Brienne is sworn to her and barely knows her. She hasn't really had a chance to trust her except the time she gave her the one mission.

She couldn't manipulate Ramsay because he was an unknown variable. Littlefinger said it himself when he met Ramsay and that was a situation that could not be controlled. Joffrey on the other hand could be manipulated by playing into his ego and sadism which she did when she saved Ser Dantos' life. Margaery did it better. I'm not too sure about Tyrion and Cersei's ambivalence. Tyrion is a definite ally at this point and Cersei a definite enemy. Can't speakon Jon til I see how it's resolved next week.

And honestly, when has Sansa had time to fulfill any long-term goals? She's been thrust from one situation to the next since the show started.

And your final point and mine are kind of the same. She's still naive and still learning.

I'll always be more interested in the political fukkery than the fantasy fukkery.

Bring on more Littlefinger chaos is a ladder maneuvering. More Tyrion, Varys, Margery, Olenna, Sansa too. If the shyt just turns into one big CG battle fest for the last 15 episodes, then

I can't see how nikkas don't/can't fukk with Little Finger, he's an amazing character.
