Endy10:


That song did certain things to me. Like you tightly said, the was the best non fight episode from game of thrones.
It had everything: topnotch dialogue, anger, hate, forgiveness, love, shared moments, stories, vindication and they topped it with that song.

That song has been playing in my head all morning.

Hmmm, you can say that again, I'll have it on my playlist, lyrics kinda sounds like Adele's.

Podrick did a good job on it with his voice (that is, if it is his).

Endy10:


Of course it's for Sansa. Everyone should know that. He came to fight for Winterfell.
I think the real turning point for him was when Jon told him he was both a Greyjoy and a Stark. He didn't have to choose. That settled a lot of conflicts that was brewing in his mind.

I for one thought he was coming back to make amends (the scene where he told bran he was going to protect him and all of that) and not for Sansa, the latter was just an afterthought seeing them dine together and the unspoken looks i noticed.

AryaSand:


The it twist on the show ehennnnnn

Liked.

J2381:
well it was kinda something worth noticing the way Sansa was staring at Theon. The look had a deep meaning to it, I mean, they both survive severe physical, mental, emotional and psychological molestation from Ramsey Bolton.

I'm starting to believe Theon may not have returned to Winterfell for Daenerys, but for Sansa...

Ta-da!

Apparently not! And Sansa has been expectant, more like both feelings have been there for a long time and they had to just play them out.

Not something am interested in tho.

Wished they all tangoed to the song instead.

Podrick song lyrics.

High in the halls of the kings who are gone
Jenny would dance with her ghosts.
The ones she had lost and the ones she had found
And the ones who had loved her the most.

The ones who’d been gone for so very long
She couldn’t remember their names
They spun her around on the damp cold stone
Spun away all her sorrow and pain

And she never wanted to leave
Never wanted to leave.
Never wanted to leave.
Never wanted to leave.
Never wanted to leave.
Never wanted to leave.

J2381:
I saw it. But Sansa is kinda scary.

How do you mean please?

Cybertext:


It's my favorite episode without fights or killings.... I love all the dialogues.


..and oh!! That poddrick's song

Yeah, knew it was Podrick when I heard it, dude has to be good in something na

Yeah the dialogues in all the scenes were worth listening to over and over.

meforkene:


Thank you for this.
Have mentioned this before about how this thread was like last season when there was no discussion till evening. It was MATURELY adhered to.
I wish we could go back to the old ways.

Yeah, I noticed no old posters but new.

But then, it's something that can be done.


Guys, can we please stick to this rule, it isn't too much to ask is it?

Besides, there are other platforms we can air our views that is if we can't hold them back.

Eberex:


What were you expecting from someone who was saved from Ramsey Bolton.

Well, I didn't see that coming, Arya and Gendry as well.

This is GOT, they don't play our thoughts.

Ksslib:
I see why it's easy to hate this episode & label it a total bore, but - to me - this is one of the best episodes. It's so subtle yet powerful. Maybe because it deeply appeals to my melancholic side.

No need to rush. I love the gradual transitioning. No need to rush. Is it not blood you want? Don't worry, it is coming. Blood will so spill you'll be forced to use rolls of tissue in wiping off splashes that flew from your favorites & landed on your screen protectors. No worry.

These are characters we've been with for years( I prefer to use "almost all our lives" , it sounds more dramatic ). Bretheren, these are characters we've been with for almost all our lives. They are our brothers, our sisters. They're now a part of us whether we choose to admit it or not. Some, or all of them, will die. And we'll miss them.

So why should we rush? Don't we want to be with them for one more, last final time? This episode is beautiful & powerful because most times we see the war, the bravery, the bloodshed, the victory, but most times we don't see the personal, emotional and philosophical battles they struggle with in the final moments leading to the war itself.

They are so many enriching, powerful scenes in this episode - one of them being the chamber gathering between Tyrion & Jamie, then joined by Brienne, Podrick, ser Devos & Tormund aka.. Giants bane...lol

But I'll talk about two.

One -my personal favorite actually - when Ser Devos was serving supper and this man, after collecting his share, tells ser Devos that he's not a warrior, panic visible in his eyes. Then this little girl comes up, collects her food and tells Ser Devos she wants to fight. So tiny in contrast to the previous man, yet no fear in those little eyes. Powerful stuff!

I was pissed at the man. Like how could this little child be willing to fight & die, but you want to cower & tow a coward's path. You no get shame? But then again, we all are victors or victims of our circumstances. The little girl said her two brothers were soldiers & she wants to fight too. But the man? Maybe he was an average
trader before, a care-giver nursing the elderly perhaps, a banker, or just an average Nigerian like you & me far faaar less braver & perhaps much more likely a coward than an eight-year old Afghan whom has tasted War. Like I said, we all are victor or victims of our circumstances.

You know, it's so easy to assume that since a war is coming, everybody will automatically be pumped-up, gingered, motivated, prepared & ready to die. Sadly, some will never be ready to die. Even in their death. That's life.

These are some of the philosophical psychological battles of war - and many more - people fight in the final moments even before the main war begins. And it's important to show it.

Second one is the post-sex scene between Gendrya.

Here, Arya is seen staring far far into the neverlands - a place only she can see- while that beautiful poetic rendition by Podrick plays in the background. Here, her eyes look wide open but she looks lost. She was there but wasn't there. This scene is so powerful that the look on her face could be interpreted for one-thousand different meanings and all would be correct.

Did Gendry dickmatize her? and she's here thinking, wow!! So na wetin I dey miss be this?. Is the War even worth it? Maybe we could find somewhere cozy below the crptys and I'll hide on this D1ck till the war is over. A girl has no shame..

Maybe here, Arya knows she'll die, and for the first time, death no longer has many faces and she's starting at death..... in the face...

Maybe for all the bravery, For all the "A girl has no face" shenanigans, For all the training, For all her cold-heartedness, deep down somewhere she's just like everyone. A normal human being like you and I afraid to die, wishing that this fffucked up world could be a slightly less horrific & a better place.

The only part I felt was a bit rushed at first was how Arya transitioned from pinning a triplet of dragon glass to a wood in quick successions to make Gendry facilitate the construction of her secret special weapon, to her pinning the same Gendry to bed few seconds later.

I felt it was too fast. I felt they needed a tad bit more bonding and... gasps.... fans who still saw Arya as that semi-innocent dedicated virgin girl were not ready to see her in this new light. But like I said earlier, what makes this whole episode very powerful is that it deals with the philosophical psychological battles people fight even before the main war begins.

Before you get disappointed or angry, I want you to understand that both in witchcraft & christianity, and science even, Time is a very important constraint. Time & Space is to the Universe and Mordern science/physics what Native chalk & schnapp is to Amadioha.

The concept of Time changes everything. When you know you have a certain amount of time to live, it changes your perspective about every fffuking thing. Everything!

Now it doesn't matter if you're made of steel like Arya or copper like Tormund , but suddenly, nothing else matters but everything matters. The little things like having the walls of your v@gin@ greased by this guy you kind of like. Coming from a long- ass frightening journey that almost featured your flesh on the Night's King's Archimedes sprial and the first thing you ask is "If The big woman is still around" .

This episode was beautiful, philosophical & very necessary. So many subtle but deep elements. Is it how Grey worm for all his muteness & devoutness to Dany's cause knows deep down that even if they win the war, he & Missandei won't fit in the picture?

My highlight of this episode is how it subtly reinforces "The concept of Time" as the most powerful force in the universe. And it's true!!!

There was a girl. Our chemistry was out of this world, maybe supernatural sef. We bonded so well, but didn't get to the stage where Arya & Gendry currently are before we later had issues.

We don't talk anymore. I don't even know if we are ever going to see again, talk again, or hear each other's voice again till we both die. But something tells me if somehow somehow the world is to be ending in the next 5mins and death is coming for us all, our tongues will be far deep in each other's throats & we'll be ffucking each-other in 3...2.. 1.

I'll title this beautiful Episode - "The Concept of Time: the battle before the War"..

Can't believe I read all these? How many hours did it take you to type these? 4 hours?

Did anyone see what is brewing between theon and sansa?

Edd: .. ".Samuel Tarly, slayer of white walkers; lover of ladies.... as if we need anymore signs that the world is ending "

It was really nice seeing the reunion, now their watch begins.

Blockdock90:
I am really beginning to get irritated by the extreme leftist feminism propaganda in Game of thrones. It's even more glaring in this season. Unlike the positive feminism which seeks to empower women, create socio-ecomonic and socio-political equality among the sexes, and excise negative stereotypes about women which are born from sexist and misogynistic roots, the extreme leftist form of feminism seeks not just to empower women but to demasculinized men in the process. This toxic form of feminism seeks to weaken men and make women their masters. If you pay close attention to the recent episodes of game of thrones you'll notice how this theme has coloured the show.

All the power characters currently remaining in the show are all women. The only powerful male character bent the knee and surrendered his power to a woman. I honestly cannot think of a male character that embodies what the ideal should man represents: Strong, morally upright, industrious and noble. All the men who possess this traits are either castrated(to represent demasculinization), very old, disabled, outcasts or a dwarf. Contrast this with powerful female characters like Danny, Sansa, Arya, Brienne, Yara and even Lady mormont. The only powerful male character that fits this mould is REGULARLY demeaned by everyone, either for his height, his heritage or the fact that he knows nothing.

This last episode was just so irritating in terms of how the feminist bullshit was shoved in our faces. Jamie lannister, a man, is judged by two powerful women who occupy high moral grounds. He is only allowed to live when another powerful woman vouches for him, laying emphasis on the fact he lost his arm trying to protect her from rapists. Jeez.
Then you have the rude little mormont girl who is given too much talk time even in situations where more experienced male members of the council should talk.

Then there is Brienne and her little bitch Podrick. That dude is a grown man and yet he's pushed around by a woman like he's her slave or something.

I could go on and on.

Whoa, don't you think you are taking all these up here too serious.

It's really hard to believe you wrote all these 'cause of episode 2.

Feels good to be back on this forum all thanks to GOT.

And I see the rules changed, spoilers and comments on the new episode even when it's not evening yet, the idea was to wait on people like us who can't do vigils like some of y'all. C'mon guys, can we leave this thread the way it used to be? Makes it more fun and interesting when you have more people posting their opinions rather than a few.

Urg..

How I miss commenting on this thread all this while?

EmperorLee:



Smellymouth and Demiladegold oya make una go rent room for Mosafuento Motel.

crackhaus:

I guess the easiest most direct answer would be that I really couldn't think of anything else right there in that molment when I was getting registered here.

Definitely and your subconscious had to play a major role in that by letting us know what your cravings are

Do have a nice day Crackhaus.

Cheers!

crackhaus:

Surely you must now know that my definition of interesting most certainly differs from yours if after googling crack you saw nothing interesting.
It's a type of drug, obviously this wouldn't be interesting to you.

And yes, haus = house (to be taken literally)


We clear now?

Hahahaha

Then my mistake was, refusing to believe that was what it is, that kinda crack. Lool

And yeah, we are clear.

But why the sobriquet?

agarawu23:

EmperorLee:

EmperorLee:

crackhaus:

Blehhhhhhh...

The crack on there isn't to be taken literally (broken), something more interesting if you care to think about it further..lol

I see.

But that's new @ crack = interesting.

I even had to Google but nothing interesting came out, care to share what you know?

Am sure the 'haus' in the moniker shouldn't be taken literally also or not?

Smellymouth:

Je sentais que j'étais dans le ciel quand elle m'a mentionne..

This your sweet-talking is epic and a little tempting, but I just gotta be impermeable here...
I like your moniker tho, assuming that's your real name.

Wished it worked, lool.

Alright, fine then.

Nah it ain't, it was derived from the word 'luxe'. Thanks for the compliment.

Well, yours tells me you are a broken man.

demiladegold:
