Mr. P Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Why have they lined up the army OUTSIDE the castle walls? They’ve got dragon glass in the arrows & spears plus 2 dragons. No need to risk the soldiers when they can hit them from behind the walls. Jon Snow is no Hannibal Barca it seems! They all deserve to die! #teamnightking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to be boring to recognise that Game of Thrones is a overhyped mess of a show that I will find throughly entertaining when the ending is not what you all want. I gave it 2 or 3 seasons, saw the Joffrey guy killed, the little guy get on that boat and could take no more. And this is from someone that sat and watched all of Prison Break to the end despite how terrible it was. I get it's seen as "cool" to like it though and to be in with the groovy gang at school you need to be upto date, so I'll leave you to your quest for acceptance. Nooooo David .. I read all the books before the TV show even started. It’s not about being in the cool gang ! It’s about sex, power, violence, politics, swords, magic and dragons for heavens sake. It’s escapism and a sense of wonder Bit like Pride Park on a Saturday really and as for prison break ... yawn a mile, unless you really love tattoos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The living are massive underdogs. the dead have 3 major advantages over the living. An undead dragon, undead warriors that will take a kicking, but keep on ticking, and numbers. But the living have two dragons, and the dead only have one. Dragons are like westerosi nukes. The night Kung could use his dragon to take out a big target, but he and his army will be immediately ducked by the other two dragons. Like we could fire a nuke at Russia, and it would cause some damage, but it wouldn’t end well for us. And pretty much everyone in the army of the living is armed with dragon glass. So it negates the undeadness of the dead. They get hit by pretty much any weapon in play, and they’re done just like any living opponent would be. they have numbers, but it’s been said that danearys has brought the biggest army Westeros has ever seen. The undead are very unskilled fighters, they just charge in a frenzy. Pretty much every man in the wrong of the living is probably worth 10 of the dead when armed with dragon glass. I know they’re trying to ramp up the stakes. But when you think about it, it’s not as perilous as they make it seem. Or maybe when I see the full scale of the army of the dead next week, I’ll realise I’ve misjudged how important the numbers game is. My concern tactically is that when one of the living dies he ends up being one of them. So to prevent recruitment we’ll need to behead our own dead. It’s crocodiles and draining the swamp. I’m also wondering if Cerci will turn up, save the day and want her reward/rehabilitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Two Targarians to die in the battle.Blacksmith too. Sprog now growing in Arya's belly to be true heir. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 It's going to be spine chilling when one of the main characters joins the army of the dead. I predict bright blue eyed Brienne to kill off Jaime. Felt wrong watching Arya. She's not changed much since season 1!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good telly. If you watch it expecting it to be the best thing ever then you will be disappointed. But if you watch it expecting it to be alright then it's the best thing ever.

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 All nerves are currently directed towards tomorrow's game. After that, however, I will be pooping myself, worried about all the great characters that are going to get killed off in the next episode.

Nuwtfly Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Writers kill off (liked) characters by tieing up their story arcs in neat, little bows. On that logic, say goodbye to: - Brienne - Beric Dondarrion - Jorrah Mormont - The Hound - Theon - Ser Davos Seaworth ...and possibly Gendry, too. He's done his half of the job of "uniting the Houses of Stark and Baratheon"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done his half of the job of "uniting the Houses of Stark and Baratheon"... I agree with you in that certain characters’s arcs seemed to have been completed, suggesting that they’re about to die. I’m leaning towards Brienne dying, but I wouldn’t rule out her surviving and Jaime dying instead. I reckon one of them will die in the other’s arms and will subsequently be brought back as a wight. I’m pretty sure Beric is toast. I’m 50/50 on Jorah. Surely Sam’s family sword will return to him somehow. Jorah doesn’t seem to have much left to do though after regaining his honour. It would be good for the Hound to die an honourable death to signal the redemption of his character. I’d imagine they’re saving him for Cleganebowl though, as was hinted at last season. Whether or not the Hound remains a vengeful person is difficult to tell. I’d bet my house on Theon dying defending a Stark. It will be sad but it will signal the end of another outstanding character arc. I’m not sure Davos will be in the thick of it enough to die. 50/50 again. I think Gendry will live because Arya might need him to prevent her from losing her humanity. I wouldn’t say she’s 100% safe in this though. I can see Tormund dying as well. I love him but I don’t see where else his character can go. The same goes for Edd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
