quote:High Sparrow is setting himself up pretty well, especially with what I'm assuming is Cersei's trial on Friday. That's going to be an interesting confrontation. Cersei isn't going down without a fight, Jamie is on his way back after beating The Blackfish, and grandma might also be doing something on her own. Having Sparrow win out will be a big change in dynamics.quote:
So who takes over as the main villain? Does Littlefinger start making his push?
Euron Greyjoy is making a case for himself but dont think that character can to reach Joffrey/Ramsey status.
Sandsnake leader is pretty crappy but would never want them in the show further.
Cersei I suppose is about to take the cake for lead villain for now... you know with the whole burn the city mentality paired with her distaste for anyone not named Tommen or Jamie.
Maybe the Nights King turns out to be a total dbag if he every talks, who knows!
quote:Gosh, Sansa's actions the night before and during the battle were almost a heel turn! I was so upset that Sansa just LET Jon's men get annihilated before the Knights of the Vale showed up! I get the "oh maybe she wasn't sure if they were actually coming" or "If Jon knew then maybe Ramsay would have found out". But when Ramsay let Rickon loose and it became apparent that Jon was about to do exactly what Ramsay WANTED him to do and exactly what Sansa told him NOT to do, I was like "WHERE IS SANSA TO TELL HIM NOT TO DO IT!" Had she been there she may have stopped Jon from riding out there and then they could have been patient like they originally planned.
7. Sansa - Could also see a heel turn with her. Teams up with Littlefinger to take complete control of the North. Goals conflict with Jon's. Could see her try to seduce/use LIttlefinger to get what she wants. Seems to be of mentality that nobody is going to help her but herself, and I think she will take Littlefinger and Cersei's teachings to heart and become a new major manipulator type character.
quote:Well she was right by his side when he met with Ramsay the day before and she was right by Littlefinger's side when the Knights of the Vale showed up too. If she were really concerned about Jon falling for Ramsay's trap (like she complained about the night before) you'd think she could find a way to be there and advise him when he needed it most.
You really think Sansa would've been in hearing distance of Jon Snow?
I just wonder why she never mentioned the scale when he said we need more men or when she said wait I can get you more men.
Oh I know. Suspense.

Those are all examples of prominent women who wouldn't be out of place on a battlefield. I don't really think it was an issue of Jon telling Sansa "no, you should stay here at the tent and just finish up that new cloak you are sewing me."
Do you disagree that the battle could have gone differently had she been by Jon's side?

quote:I think we will see some kind of explanation for her not saying anything to Jon this next episode, and I think it will simply be her saying "Would you have allowed it if you knew about it?" Or something like that. Basically saying Jon's honor would have prevented him allying himself with Littlefinger, even if it meant his defeat, so she didn't tell him for his "own good."quote:Gosh, Sansa's actions the night before and during the battle were almost a heel turn!

Looking at the scene where they were surrounded by the shield wall I thought to myself "well, they certainly evened out the numbers but MAN, they just might have been able to WIN had it not been for Jon going all stupid and chasing after Rickon!"

We are all going to need a support group after the season finale. I love this time of year because I can think "Well it sucks the weekend is over, but at least Game of Thrones is tonight."
quote:Thanks for ruining the movie Titanic for me....I haven't seen it yet.
We all knew the story to Apollo 13. We all knew the Titanic was going to sink again. We all knew the outcome of 13 Hours. My point is, that being predictable doesn't mean those movies or scenes can't still be done extremely well.

One thing about these big battle charges that always puzzeled me was how exhausted everyone would be by the time they got to the line after running at a full sprint wearing armor And carrying a sword.
Are these kind of running charged over these kinds of distances historically supported?
quote:I read a piece once on the Battle of Agincourt and about the French charge on the English line - who's longbowmen had already done quite a bit of damage to the French army from a distance - after the cavalry had churned up the ground and made it into a quagmire. By the time the French had reached the English, those who survived the bowmen's onslaught were so exhausted they could hardly fight and were defeated easily. The French suffered 10,000 casualties in that battle.
