OT: Game of Thrones- S7 E2 Stormborn
After Jon threatened him last night, you can bet that Littlefinger is going to try and turn Sansa against Jon. Or he'll try to convince the northern lords that Jon is a traitor and have them sent out to kill him without Sansa knowing.
But I do believe that Sansa will eventually have Littlefinger killed. She knows that she is his one remaining weakness now that Catlyn is dead, and she'll use that to her advantage before this is all over.
Nymeria was like Nah...I'm cool.
Euron couldn't wait 20 fucking minutes!?!?
Just when the foreigners were about to "invade". And Theon wasn't even going to stick around to watch. Sheesh...
Literally twenty "fucking" minutes.
I thought Theon would save his sister but get killed in the process in that scene.
Didn't you love how the bloody skin and puss morphed into someone eating gruel? That was classic GoT.
Loved the Arya scenes, she was eating just like Hound does and the look on her face when she hears about Jon was great
That was my least favorite scene, I think.
The Nymeria scene was my favorite. It harkens back to the second episode of the series when Arya told Ned "That's not me" when Ned suggests that she join Sansa trying on dresses for a feast. Nymeria leaving told Arya that the two of them are no longer domesticated Starks. Arya is going to go to Winterfell with a new purpose rather than having a Stark reunion. Something tells me Littlefinger will be Arya's next kill.
After watching Euron last night, I have to say that he reminds me a lot of the Joker. A man who just seems to revel in chaos, who has a pretty dark sense of humor, is not afraid to do his own dirty work, and seems to enjoy war and murder for its own sake.
He seems like he legitimately has fun cutting people down, or as he mentioned on last week's episode, watching other people get cut down. Even if its his own people.
Holy fucking shit Euron.
Mmmmissandei ....
Sam is brave in his way. Or foolhardy. At least loyal, trying to help the son of his former Lord Commander. But man, I'd want a biohazard suit before trying to cut all that off Jorah.
Who's going to lead Dorne now? I won't miss the Sand Snakes too much, though.
Not surprised Theon went for a swim. For him to have a redeeming moment? It's not that kind of show. Or at least it's not time for it. Maybe he'll have to find R'hllor.
I'm glad Sam is finally shining but really hoping "so I read a book and this is how you solve your problem" doesn't drive too much plot the rest of the way.
If it does there better be a Maester LeVar Burton cameo.
He made a mistake making a deal with the slavers last season.
You think the Martells and Tyrells aren't worth much? House Tyrell is one of the Great Houses of Westeros. House Martell is essentially extinct because Prince Doran and Trystane were killed, but they still possess a large army.
Where do you want Sam to be? The citadel is exactly where Sam needs to be.
To me Sam's story is really interesting. That sword might be his destiny, but it matters what he does with that sword. To me it is more likely that he learns the lost magic/art of forging Valyrian steel. He can't lose his chain fairly soon because he doesn't have one yet. He first has to become an Acolyte before he can get a Maester chain.
I like this theory the most. There is a reason why Gendry is still alive other than providing memes.
As a bastard, he doesn't really have a legit claim to the throne so I'm guessing he plays another role.
wasn't that a major plot point of the Hobbit trilogy?
My guess is 2 are left to fight the White Walkers, but only one remains after the battle. Aren't there supposed to be Ice Dragons? Drogon is the only one who remains.
you are pretty close to the leaked season 7 plot from reddit. That is all I am going to say.
I was unaware that there is a leaked plot. To me it seems like that is the natural progression. Drogon is the only Dragon that really has an individualized role, so I assumed the other two were expendable. Now that they introduced this massive crossbow (which, is super anti climatic. How has no one ever come up with this before the "master-mind" Qyburn?), it has got to be successful once. And then it just makes sense that the Ice Dragon wins one fight before being defeated by Drogon, the most elite dragon of them all.
You don't really need to invent a dragon-killing crossbow during the 1000 years they haven't been around.
Yes, but wouldn't a similar device (simply changing the angle to a downward shot) be incredibly useful for ships ala the battle of the blackwater bay. Maybe they haven't needed to shoot dragons out of the air, but this weapon is basically just a bigger version of the crossbow that they already have, something that could have been useful at other times in history.
but I don't think the giant cross-bow would be very effective against the large items of the day - ships and siege towers. Catapults with fireballs would work better against those things. I think they did have a decent-sized cross bow thing at the wall for dealing with giants.
They did come up with something similar. It will be interesting if the show dragons can be killed by these crossbows. Dragons that are full grown like Drogon should have scales like armor that are impervious to spears and arrows. In the past one of the few ways to kill a dragon was to spear it through the eye.
I'm guessing one of the three ends up an ice dragon. Sibling dragon showdown and the events leading up to that just seems more Thrones-y than "oh and here's an ice dragon that just showed up from the north for a couple episodes."
I don't know how I feel about Theon anymore. I felt like the last season and a half or so was building up to him ultimately redeeming himself, and it may still come to that. But watching him tuck his tail between his legs and jump ship leaves me unsure of that. Its somewhat hard for me to blame him for running, though.
Just goes to show how scarred and brutalized that Theon truly was by Ramsay. Both literally and figuratively. Even though Ramsay is dead (not even sure Theon knows that yet), he will be a part of Theon until the day Theon dies. Or as Ramsay said, "until you're rotting in the ground."
Anytime Theon is confronted with violence, or is in front of a pretty girl, he's going to have to relive what Ramsay did to him.
Of couse, Jon Snow has the Mormont family sword, Longclaw...unless...Longclaw isn't really a Mormont family heirloom...are you indicating that Jorah's sword is made of Valrian steel?
I meant that Jorah was good at killing people with a sword. He could probably make use of Needle if necessary. You make good points, though.
There's a theory that Sam is the narrator of the Song of Ice and Fire. Lots of anecdotal stuff to support that. For instance, in 7.2 he speaks with the maester about how he would write with style. He also physically resembles GRR Martin. He's not going anywhere.
There's still so many storylines going on with so few episodes left.
Hot Pie is behind it all. Somehow.
Just kidding, he's the best character on the show.
