Game of Thrones Official Discussion Thread: Final Season 8, the JOURNEY ENDS !

[Cerberus]

What a boring ass episode.

atleast much better than the last 08, except last moments

but nothing about whats happening at the kings landing...they are delaying it on a purpose

 

[Chandoo]

The only good thing about the episode was the little nod that kid gives after shooting ygritte.

bad-ass

 

[Fir3d3mon]

the books dont revolve around King's Landing you know

 

[federer38]

This episode received 10/10 from IGN

 

[ArslanTufail]

Does nock mean draw?
No, Ser!

Does f**king hold mean f**cking drop?
No, Ser!

Ser Alliser, the troll! :hah:

 

[CerebralTiger]

What a boring ass episode.

On the contrary, I thought this was a great episode. We finally got to see something exciting going on at the Night's Watch.

Sad to see Grenn and Pypar go down, especially Pypar since he feared death and yet ended up suffering a painful one.

The battle sequnce was one loooooonnng shot! Loved the fights though, most of the good brothers are dead now I feel sad for them.
Don't think Ygritte was gonna shoot Jon. Next episode will be the finale? Or is this a 13 episode season?

 

[ASKnASK]

Man.. The Night's Watch did pretty well I'd say. I mean, most of them had little to no fighting background.

Ygritte's death was sad

Next is the last. 10 episodes.

A couple of major deaths and we'll be good to go

[MENTION=26]Chandoo[/MENTION] what u smokin ? this episode was PRETTY DARN well shot.. all concentration on the battle between the knights of the wall and the barbarians etc


episode felt like a short movie, real good and stuff..... damn man just when i thought jon snow is a goner... damn.

i like this one was different from others where they kept on going back and forth between different scenarios. all focus on this battle, GREAT

 

[Newton]

the battle on the wall deserved a full episode!
it was brilliantly portrayed!
it had giants!
it was the first actual defense of the realms of men!
the only thing i wanted to see was a great magnitude of the wildling army.... something like LoTR

PS: this episode has really awesome background music tracks

 

[CerebralTiger]

Btw @Newton, forgot to answer your question from earlier on. That spoiler is from the 3rd book.

 

[K3yser]

I was waiting for something awesome to happen in this ep. We all knew it was a 1-1000 fight for the watchers and it'd be a shame if they were just like shoot arrows and fight with swords. Didnt dissappoint! Exploding barrels, that f**king criuse missile arrow one shoting the giant, and a BLOODY ANCHOR IN THE ICE! Wipe those wildlings like gunk from your windscreen

And thats how you kill a 'main' character and still make the audience feel O.K. about it; Ygritte biting the dust (or snow) was eternally satisfying. And Ms. snow acting like a little Abuses will lead to ban (he was smilling when he sees her can you believe it??!!) just before that boy arrowed her made me feel peace. For once I felt someone in GoT Universe got a death that they deserved, no matter what their allegences. You kill innocent people you get an arrow inside ya plain and simple. And I almost forgot, Mr. Bear f**ker was also riddled full of arrows and taken hostage. I hope they flay his legs and make book bindings outta the skin.

Also side note, it seems Arrows are more effecient than swords in Westros than arrows. that prick Joffrey had it right all along!

 

[Fkhan]

Like everybody else I was also waiting impatiently to see what will happen to half man, and I thot it would be disappointing episode for me if they skip lannistors in this episode, but E09 proved me wrong, the ep was so awesomely captivating that by the end of episode i almost forgot about half man (apologies upfront)

 

[Newton]

now this looks like something that will siege the wall

 

[manigamer]

it was actually sam who killed ms snow LOL, told the lil boy to pick a weapon etc indirectly if u see it

That term makes me cringe, who gets to decide who is innocent? The wildlings make a pretty strong claim for wanting to, you know, SURVIVE, against the white walkers which would essentially wipe them all out?

excuse me! hes half imp, half awesome and all man if all those s-exposition scenes are to be believed

it was actually sam who killed ms snow LOL, told the lil boy to pick a weapon etc indirectly if u see it

yeah in a sense... but that would mean Yigrette killed herself since it was her who put an arrow thru his daddys heart in the first place.

not sure if someone that kills and rapes (in that order) their victims and then eats em as 'innocent' or whatever

“It’s the best finale we’ve ever done, bar none,” Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss said in a statement. “The performances from our cast, the direction from Alex Graves, the VFX work, the new [music] cues from Ramin Djawadi—all of it came together in perhaps the finest hour we’ve produced. We’re immensely proud of ‘The Children.’ And a little intimidated by the episode, because now we have to get back to the business of season five and figure out a way to top it.”

And the finale will be of 66 minutes.. so much hype
