Game of Thrones - S7 - Spoilers allowed on Wed each week. Be warned!!

[Ricky Otto]

Agree with all that and yeah, not much chance to fanny about now.

Was that giant White Walker meant to be a re-incarnation (as it were) of Wun-Wun? I know he died at Winterfell, not the other side of The Wall, but the way they focused in on the eye where we took the fatal blow had me wondering. Doesn't really make sense I know but then again in the same programme a teenage girl was able to successfully imitate a 90 year old man so anything is possible really.

Hope we see plenty more of Jim Broadbent's character.

I didn't notice the focus on the eye but if that is him the thing that would be a bigger plot hole for me is the fact that Jon Snow and the free folk/ Wildlings have religiously burnt the dead to stop them reinforcing the army of the dead. Surely they would have done this for all those who fell at the battle of the *******s?

 

[MK Shrimper]

I'm sure there are plenty of dead giants and it wasn't Wun Wun. I vaguely remember when Jon Snow first met the Wildlings there was more than one.

 

[Ricky Otto]

Bran was warging into the giant.

That explains it.

Got me thinking, will we see a army of the dead Hodor?

 

[Pubey]

That explains it.

Well at least that's my interpretation based on how it jumps straight to Bran coming out of warg

I could ask the man himself seeing as Bran is played by my cousin Isaac, but it generally takes a month or so to get a response from him :hilarious:

I thought Thomas Turgoose being in that scene was a bigger deal than Ed Sheeran!

But I still don't get why people got so annoyed about Sheeran.

Will say no more until the Wednesday morning 'no spoilers' embargo.

Because it was totally pointless.
Having said that, good opening and please no spoilers to ruin things. I would go as far as a zone ban if anyone feels the need to let everyone know what's about to happen - just keep it to your bloody self!

I get people not liking it, but some reaction on Twitter was excessive. As per usual I guess.

Re spoilers, we've agreed at the top of this thread that spoiler tags should be used for anything posted before Wednesday am UK time. After that it is open season, otherwise the whole thread will just be

this is a good review of the first episode, takes everything a bit too literally but can't really argue with what they are saying!

No that was my take on it as well.

Would make no sense otherwise and they wouldnt make such a glaring mistake.

Unnecessary sex scene ahoy!

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Unnecessary sex scene ahoy!

I've heard that GOT is "all tits and dragons." Is that true? :unsure:

Far from it, there is so much more.

 

[MK Shrimper]

I thought it was an ok episode. Until the final 10 minutes, it felt a bit rushed. You can tell they're compressing the story this season.

Yeah, concerned that they're trying to fit 10 episodes worth of storyline into 7 episodes.

Sort of.

  Spoiler:  

Looking at Nathalie Emmanuel in the nip is a fine way to pass one's time

I was very glad indeed to

  Spoiler:  

see the back of 2/3 of the tiresome sand snakes. Maybe they're good characters in the books, but on the telly they've been poorly written and have added little of worth

I very much agree with you first spoiler, Beautiful!!

 

[Ricky Otto]

I agree with the pace of this series so far, does seem rushed and trying to pack too much in.

Agree also. which is why I think it will be important to watch really closely. They can barely waste a line of dialogue

  Spoiler:  

surely why they had to get rid of Sand snakes. Momma! Momma!

, let alone whole scenes now, so there should be clues and pointers all over the place.
