[ak_rep]

About time we got some real action crackin'. That was a nice battle scene. I was wondering what happened to that little wolf kid, Bran Stark. I still hope he can control one of those dragons in the future. Or come back and be a factor in some regard.

Game Of Thrones Season 5 Episode 7: "The Gift" Review And Discussion




Game Of Thrones Season 5 Episode 8: "Hardhome" Review And Discussion

 

[Nobody]

Jon Snow is the fucking man. I think as we grow to like his character more and more, his death is more and more likely. Don't get too attached folks.

I think Jon Snow is the hero of the series. I've suspected it for the longest and tonight's episode sealed the deal for me.

 

[grownazzblakman]

This fucking episode was the shit if the last two are better than this >>>>>>

Judging from last night's episode... things can STILL get EVEN BETTER.

David Nutter directed the LAST 2 EPISODES of Season 5, this year.

And the last time he directed a Game of Thrones Episode (2 years ago) was... ‘The Red Wedding”

Shhheeeiiiitt...... Looks like this Season will FINISH STRONG, imo.

Because the showrunners saved their VERY BEST ’power hitter’ for last.... and he's had 2 YEARS WORTH of BATTING PRACTICE since the last time he stepped-up to the plate.

And we still haven’t even seen the looming War between Stannis & the Boltons.

Buckle Up.

Well the people assume they are evil, because 8000 years ago the swept down out of the north and tried to kill every living being.

They didn't build The Wall for the wildings ya know.

Who's to say that the White Walkers didn't originally build the Wall to keep humans out?!?

Stretch you are on point as usual my man! I just watched it again and that was the best episode since the batlle at the Blackwater.

As for the speculation of Ollie killing John, he ain't going to do shit. If anything, he might stick a knife in Tormand's back since he led the raid on Ollie's village. I think that we are overestimating that dude. I just don't see it.

Arya looked like a teenager who was just handed the keys to her parent's convertable.

And as for Cersei, karma is a BITCH!

We need to see some fighting champs duel it out. We only got Brianne and The Hound. We had Jamie and Ned but shit that was like 30 sec? Jon vs. Ramsay should be on the table. Highlight match ups! Jorah vs. Dharrio. Dharrio vs. Bron would be tiiiiiiiiiiiight.

i feel you.. i want war though. any war.. white walkers war... bolton war... they do a great job showing all of the action. big battle views and little action sequences.

 

[^SpiderMan^]

He need to go sit his lil ass down somewhere and let grown folks take care of much bigger things at the moment. Besides, it would be beyond fucked up for him to kill Jon Snow out of all people. Considering, Jon is the one that put him up.

Then again I assume that's the point. When Jon returns back to the Wall likely ol boy(1st Ranger) won't allow the Wildlings in and of-couse part of the premise in the Kid eventually killing Jon(I assume during that fight). They have no idea whats coming and what Jon and the rest just faced!

What if you were in Africa and the only CACs you ever saw, ran up in your village and killed your whole family and left. Then you talked to other tribesmen and all they talked about was how evil CACs were,that they enslaved their families and that they aren't to be trusted. Then one day the head of your villiage(that you respect) sudden comes to the villiage with thousands of CACs saying that he is going to give them a clean slate....

I wanna see either Stannis vs Roose Bolton (one-on one)....
Or Stannis vs Ramsay (one-on one)... in the snow.

It would be interesting to see Jorah vs Dharrio in the fighting pits.

 

[futureshock]

Man I was waiting for Jon was going to recognize one of them White Walkers as his uncle Benjen Stark too.

I have heard others say this too. Perhaps that may still happen at some point.


Sir Stretch, bravo once again.

That right there is a VERY interesting theory.



Well done digging that up. Kind of like the plot for Star Trek IV in a way LOL

This map explains why last night's Game of Thrones was so terrifying

Last night's Game of Thrones ended with an intense battle between a few Crows, the Wildlings, and the White Walkers with their army of the undead. It was an amazing scene in a somewhat shaky season, but what's really frightening about these events is how close they took place to the rest of civilization.

"The Wall is 300 miles long – one of the few things we have a true scale for in Game of Thrones," Jonathan Roberts wrote in his blog Fantastic Maps. "That places Castle Black around 120 miles from Eastwatch-By-The-Sea. Hardhome is around 300 miles (as the crow walks) from Castle Black, but only 150 miles from Eastwatch."

That's not far, even on foot. "Assuming the dead walk slower than the living (2 miles an hour rather than 3), but need no sleep – the army of the dead could reach Eastwatch in just over three days," he continues. "However I’m going to guess that’s not what the immediate future holds."

"The other note is that Hardhome isn’t on the way to anywhere. The free folk clearly retreated there for defense, but it’s a dead end. They had nowhere to retreat to from there. They have no boats. So they knew what they were running from, and they must have been desperate to retreat to Hardhome. Jon was their only hope when he arrived with the ships. And the army of the white walkers didn’t arrive by accident – they were in pursuit. The wights are building an army too."

Anyway you cut it, the army of the dead and their White Walker commanders are alarmingly close at Hardhome, and their army is growing.

The map comes from The Lands of Ice and Fire (A Game of Thrones): Maps from King's Landing to Across the Narrow Sea, a book that contains 12 full-color maps of the lands from the books. Roberts illustrated the maps, so he knows what he's talking about.

It's unlikely we're three days away from the White Walkers reaching the Wall, but it's scary to look at the map and see just how close they are.

This isn't a "some day" threat, this is something that could be happening the day after tomorrow. Winter is coming, and it's bringing the undead.

Oh shit

Damn nothing left to really add. Good episode. Watched it last night. My friends and I had been playing around with the idea of a GoT fighting game for a while. Just for the hell of it. Certain characters would have different styles (like MKX). Jamie Lannister would have King Slayer and Golden Hand lol.

This Tiny Game of Thrones Detail Confirms That Daenerys Targaryen Is the Only Hope for Westeros

The most important thing we learned last night on Game of Thrones is that all the spokes on Daenerys’s wheel (Lannister, Baratheon, Stark, Tyrell, etc.) don’t matter at all in the face of encroaching winter and White Walker invasions. If it accomplished anything, “Hardhome” drove home the fact that the realms of men are well and truly screwed. But a tiny detail in the episode revealed that there is one possible glimmer of hope. No book spoilers were used in the making of this post.

No, I’m not talking about dragon glass. I don’t care if that Thenn was telling the truth when he said obsidian is pretty abundant North of the Wall. Sam may have been able to take down one scraggly Walker with a dragon-glass dagger. But what use are daggers and arrowheads against an ever-increasing army of the dead?

I’m also not referring to the Valyrian-steel option. Jon was able to break that Walker into smithereens because he was armed with “Longclaw,” Commander Mormont’s Valyrian blade. But Valyrian steel (or dragon steel, as it’s referred to in the book) is very rare, and the magical art of forging it was lost when Valyria fell. Jon has a blade, Brienne has “Oathkeeper,” which was melted down from Ned Stark’s old sword, “Ice.” According to George R.R. Martin, “Widow's Wail,” the other half of “Ice,” was passed down from Joffrey to Tommen. But the show hasn’t drawn attention to the sword since Joff’s no good very bad funeral.

According to the books, Sam’s dad Randyll Tarly has a Valyrian blade called “Heartsbane,” and a few other houses that have never been mentioned on the show also have ancestral blades. And don’t forget the Valyrian-steel dagger that was used in the assassination attempt on Bran’s life. Littlefinger has that beauty now. To give you perspective, there’s a quote from Tyrion Lannister in the books that says, “Valyrian steel blades were scarce and costly, yet thousands remained in the world, perhaps two hundred in the Seven Kingdoms alone.” It’s going to take a lot of fancy talking from Jon for those families to give up their ancestral blades, but fingers crossed! All the same, if I were the Night’s King, I wouldn’t exactly be quaking in my stylish yet affordable boots.

So let’s say in the final confrontation between White Walkers and humans, every able-bodied man is armed with Valyrian steel and obsidian-tipped daggers and arrows. Do you think that evens the playing field when every fallen human can then join the side of the army of the undead? (Bran and his magical, tree-based training may have something to do with counteracting that.) As high as the odds against men are stacked here, we learned one final devastating thing in this episode. Those White Walkers seem to not only be impervious to fire, they actually put fire out with their icy presence.

In the words of one Redditor, these guys are walking freezers. But, listen, if dragon steel (Valyrian steel) and dragon glass (obsidian) can penetrate these chilling monsters, then dragon fire should probably do the trick. It’s called “A Song of Ice and Fire” for a reason. Sam will figure it out eventually, I have faith in his book learning. So thank heaven we’ve finally got Daenerys Targaryen a fantastic advisor in the shape of Tyrion Lannister. Now let’s just see if they can get those pesky dragons under control.
