Not sure the actress is quite pulling off the austere characterisation they're going for either.Arya says Sansa is the smartest person she has ever met?
Wtf. Why are they now trying to make Sansa look powerful and intelligent when she is anything but? Cultural cringe.
It’s not the actor though, the character just doesn’t make smart decisionsNot sure the actress is quite pulling off the austere characterisation they're going for either.
Harrington is lucky that his character hasn't really had to show much range compared to Daenarys and others.
Agree. There is not one decision she has made in the show that makes you think, wow, that was a clever move.It’s not the actor though, the character just doesn’t make smart decisions
And I want to check but the little runner boy at the start looked like the broom kid in The Last JediConincidence that the cgi of winterfell has dramatically improved and it now looks a bit like a town from star wars.
Most important thing for me is how they handle the story of the night king, It can't be " I just want to kill everyone"
I have faith they will give us some good back story and good motives surrounding his decision making.
I also think there is a little bit of Tyrians words. That what she survived meant she was clever enough to survive.I'm sure a bit of Arya's line about Sansa had to do with how she played Littlefinger.
I did cringe when Arya said Sansa’s The smartest person in the north, she’s been nothing but a dumb bitch the whole show.

Why was cersei concerned with lamb chops during the throne room scene?
Tipping old mate euron to do a runner if he didn't get some love.
I thought we might have had 30 seconds somewhere dedicated to Jorah and the Little Bear.
The one plot point that keeps annoying me is Jon constantly being berated for bending the knee to Dany. I know the Northeners are stubborn and don’t trust others but surely he’s earned the benefit of the doubt, especially in these circumstances?
Thought Theon rescuing Yara was way too easy.
They hate each other with a passion after a messy divorce
arya wants gendry to make a specific weapon for her. An arrow.
Bronn has a crossbow.
It's not an arrow, it's a double ended spear with 1 x dragon glass end, that breaks down to two weapons.
Hence the training with the staff's with the faceless men etc.

"In a recent interview with Vanity Fair’s “Still Watching” podcast, Thrones weapons master Tommy Dunne teased what is very likely this new blade: “There is one creation in Season 8 that is absolutely phenomenal. It’ll be a showstopper. That was great to finish. It was great to make, great to design it that it was about to be reverse-engineered and made into two different items.” :

Played how? Bran told her littlefinger killed their father so she called a meeting of everyone without telling them what it was about so she could kill littlefinger. It was hardly clever. There was no battle of wits.I'm sure a bit of Arya's line about Sansa had to do with how she played Littlefinger.

Haha. 13 pages in the day and a bit since I posted this. I guess a lot of people were holding out for the actual episode to air!Is anyone else surprised how little excitement there seems to be on Bigfooty for the new season? To start with I though I must've been in the "No Book Readers" thread, but of course that distinction no longer exists.
Anyways, I'm absolutely pumped for tonight!
Boy the acting was awful. Except for Tormund.
Characters who havent seen each other in yonks are like hi. Yeah hi back.
Hound and arya, yara and theon, jon and sam, arya and jon, sansa and the dwarf. Boy they stuffed up those scenes.
Did we really need to waste 3 mins on dragons flying?
Dialogue was boring.
Liked the opening scene with the soldiers and the better design of winterfall which previously looked like a tiny insignificant castle but now looked much more imposing.
Opening credits was nice.
Yep, every interaction feels quite forced with an abnormal buildup.
How many times this episode did we see a character walk into view of another and they gave each other a few seconds stare before talking?
Arya interacting with The Hound is a prime example of this.
...
Will have a scene with Bron, Tyrion and Jaime face off. Cant see why Bron would side with Cersei given they have never been in a single scene together in the shows history. Anyone else noticed this?
We arent learning anything about the Night king. Doesnt seem like they are going to make him much of a character. Pretty much now destined to be a generic villian.
The dragon riding scene was incredibly cringey, but it's a setup on multiple fronts. Jon is clearly going to ride Rhaegal, but people would likely lose their s**t if he just jumped on board with no build up. The scene with him and Dany by the waterfall is portraying them being in that 'honeymoon period', building them up before his ancestry (or a death) completely f***s everything up. Tyrion, Varys, and Davos discussing it later basically confirms that they're doomed as a pairing.
Thought it was pretty good for a table-setter (and one of the better premier episodes) but think that debating the merits of even having a table-setter in a six episode season is legitimate.
Understatement. It’s gone from dating miss universe to a crackhead and people are like at least she doesn’t have aids.

Ahem, best delivered line this ep was clearly Arya when Jon asked if she'd ever used NeedleCos its a sh** load better then watching anything on tv. The things the made it must watch, i.e. the great dialogue and characters and acting have waned a bit since the show creators had to start writing the story themselves rather then simply converting the story from books to show. Its a pity this has occured as the show is reaching its climax as so many great potential character interactions have been done poorly. Im far from alone in having this view. Things arent going well for an episode when the best delivered line is "my eyes have always been blue".
I don't think it's totally out of place.Decent enough episode to set the scene.
The one plot point that keeps annoying me is Jon constantly being berated for bending the knee to Dany. I know the Northeners are stubborn and don’t trust others but surely he’s earned the benefit of the doubt, especially in these circumstances?
Goaded him into overplaying his hand by pretending she and Arya weren’t seeing eye to eyePlayed how? Bran told her littlefinger killed their father so she called a meeting of everyone without telling them what it was about so she could kill littlefinger. It was hardly clever. There was no battle of wits.
