Well it was edge of the seat stuff with all that snow action and visually this ep was superb
But the strength of the series was always the plot and twists and turns that were always acceptable as we'd learned so much about the characters
We've established that Cersei is one out of the box and apparently a wriggling corpse is going to show us a side to her that 7 years hasn't.
That retrieving a dead thing plot line is a dud. It only serves to highlight the spatial and temporal inconsistencies that we're ok to make allowance for, before.
I worry the story has been shunted to make room for the visuals, which in a TV world lacking substance, is a kick in the teeth for this fan of a good story.
The drama has lost it's way these last two weeks -
Some thoughts...
Can the ice dragon still fly? And if so, will the night king be able to fly it over the wall? Could be a bit of an issue if so.
However perhaps to kill the ice dragon you just need to kill the king whitewalker who made it undead? Similar to how when the previous whitewalker got killed and all those undead fighting with it then also turned to dust and bones?
Otherwise they are gonna need to get that catapult thing from the lannisters and load it with dragon glass arrow to try and shoot down the ice dragon.
-
@JK I've got no doubt it will be able to fly. Actually, these show zombies are unique in that they retain their ability to use weapons. They're some of the most coordinated zombies in pop culture.
Yeah, I think if you kill the Night King all your problems will be solved. However, I'm picking a Drogon v Zombie Dragon show down.
-
It has to be a frost dragon breathing ice.
Now that we saw that the big fuckoff Lannister crossbow barely scratches the dragons, it surely has to come down to the dragons fighting it out by themselves? Maybe the frost manages to kill the other still remaining one leaving only Drogon alive.
If you watched the teaser for the season finale, a big meeting with all the key players is going down, would be surprised if they decide to partner up without a fight.
-
what was the Night Kings spear made of, Dragon glass or some special ice, if ice then they would surely just melt beyond the wall?
Obviously Dragons and the Undead have fought for centuries and maybe that is why they are beyond the wall with ice spears that can kill a dragon and dragons don't normally venture to the cold, and likely dragon fire can kill the Night King, but when each is in the others back yard they have an advantage over the visitor?
Someone needs to tell Dany she is Jon's Aunty...although her family lineage isn't too concerned with the keeping it in the family angle....
-
@Siam Agree. Set piece action sequences have overtaken characterisation and plot. It's been awesome but the issue is having to ramp up the action otherwise it becomes a bit meh.
Quick question for all you GoT nerds out there. Once the dead have been killed again can they be brought back yet again?

@Rancid-Schnitzel Isn't the King immune to fire? I know he walked through it in previous episodes.
I'm not sure. Is dragon fire different to normal fire?
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel This is just a gut feeling, but I have read quite a lot of fantasy books and I would say that yes it is worse than normal fire.
Say in Lotr, you would have normal fire->Smaug->Balrog->Mount doom
That's how I have always thought it.

The one that is now undead blew up in mid-air. Going by the other reanimated creatures it will be a flying skeleton

@Crucial You might be right too, but even for the explosion, the body seemed rather intact on the way down and it's not like it was a common wildling, it's a dragon, so I expect that it is cooler than a skeleton dragon, which is cool too, but a frost dragon is cooler.

I don't go in for this type of thing usually as I prefer to just watch and not think too far ahead but I saw a pretty good summation of why Bran is the Night King....
It was good in the sense that it worked but it was horrible in the sense that they did this type of shit with Lost and it ruined the whole thing.
-
@raznomore yeah there is something in the books I think about him being (or used to be) a Stark or maybe Carstark?

Interesting.

Was really hoping that Jon would ride the injured Dragon out from under the ice. But instead we get a frosty dragon to set us up for some mint action in eps 7 and 8.
Some of the story arcs are meandering a bit - makes the action more compelling though! Sometimes it feels like they leave things a bit late so everything gets (semi) resolved all at once. Bit of feast or famine.
-
@Paekakboyz Theres only one Ep left this series.
-
fuck, was that ep7?? and only 8 episodes in the season? with all the early releases I've lost track!
