Episode going to make people shit bricks. The banter on the trek north was fucking gold. Tormund and Hound talking about Brienne had me rolling. All the different interactions were good though, Jon and Beric, Jon and Jorah, Thoros and Jorah even talking about him rushing through the gap at Pyke. Agree with everyone else the Winterfell stuff is just...it's pretty silly. I liked it when Sansa discovered Arya's shit, and Arya talked about playing the Game of Faces with her, but overall it's just silly and Bran should be like "yo fam, this is what you need to know". I'm sure it's coming but the lead up is just not great. Only worthwhile scene at WF was Sansa sending Brienne to KL for the big meet up, although she treated her like shit then, too. Starting to wonder about the Bran is the NK/Bran the Builder theories too, might be something there. Overall great episode though, you knew the ice dragon was coming a mile away but still was good shit when eyes opened up blue.

Meanwhile back at Dragonstone.
Jon, Dany, Davos. A raven has come. Bran has had another vision.
Jon-What? He has visions? Since when?
Tyrion-Since episode 2 Jon.
Dany-If he can see everything, shouldn't we be asking a million questions? Where is he now?
Tyrion-At Winterfel. By the tree.
Jon-Winter has come. We are going to all die. Everyone you ever knew and loved is going to die. I am King of the North. Why wasn't I told of this.
Tyrion- I didn't want to bother you on this when you were so close to getting laid for the 2nd time in your life.
Davos- I know I got fleas in my bottom but it seems like I would have seen this in a fire or something.
Jon- Why are we still here, we need to get to Winterfel now.
4 months and 13 seconds later in the show......

Jon- BRAN. So good to see you boy. I am king of the north.
Bran- I smiled when that kid stabbed you in the heart.
Jon- What the fuck Bran. Tell me everything.
Bran- Littlefinger is called that because when he was a boy he used to do weird things to Blackfish boys. He was pretty little.
Jon- What the fuck Bran. Tell me everything about the Night King and going on now.
Bran- Cersei is giving Jamie a blowjob. He is trying to stroke her hair but his metal hand is making it very awkward.

Jon, Dany and Davos walk outside to the dragon. Dany looks at Jon as Drogon lowers his head to them. Dany smiles.
Dany-Dracarys.

Roll credits. Be kind. I spent a solid 30 seconds thinking this up and a minute typing it.

theres a vid out there that actually explains it but it's something like original bran (we don't know which bran we're on in this show) goes back to work with the children of the forest for reasons, but they use him (magic rock in sternum) as a weapon against humans to win their war, thus creating the NK and things spiralying out of control. If this is the way they go who fuckings knows what timeline we're on and neckbeards will be arguing over nuance for decades. Will make the 'primer' timeline chart look like a friends episode.

how off the charges are the episode 6 leak metrics? hollywood getten rich this week baby.

the valuable metrics must be off the charts the over under on the shock value of a zombie rotted dong shot though, that's the important stuff.

Ahh, found this Is Bran The Night King On 'Game Of Thrones'? This Season 7 Theory Could Change The Entire Series which seems to do a good job at explaining the theory. Interesting if true.

ya that article has the vid I was talking about in it. I really like that dude's videos. Weird thing is if the spiral was such an easter egg you'd think they would have honed in on it in this seasons for some good foreshadowing action, also a few things in the vid are already blown out of the water. The title episode and how much nimeria the direwolf is participating in the season (zero). Also no mention of the godseye / island of faces at all this season. The bran stuff really sounds good to me though

Still ravens probably go a solid 50mph and dragons 80-100. 1000 miles of raven flight would be 20 hours
Not sure sailing speed of armadas but I would guess 10-20mph range?
View attachment 151459

i believe i posted this before, GRRM said his ravens are faster and stronger than homing pigeons
which can sustain 90mph

forget which youtuber, but compared got ships to vikings, which reported avg like 7 knots (8mph) over long trips
they could peak around 15-20 knots (17-20mph)

With my historical knowledge of watching 'vikings', GOT ships are way more advanced.

This episode had some really good stuff but, man, you really need to do a lot of suspending of disbelief.

The Arya shit is fucking retarded. I used to love her character and after the shitty Faceless ending and her journey back home (minus the good Frey mass murder), she's turned into a cunt I don't want to see more of. It's one thing if she was changed by her experience but why would she take it out on Sansa when there's so many worse shitheads in the Realm?

Conversely, I used to hate all the Sansa scenes but I've really come to empathize with her. She just can't catch a fucking break.

Am I the only one that liked Armageddon?
I dooooon't wanna close my eyes. I doon't waaaaaaaaaaaana fall asleep because I'll miss you babe and run out of air and suffocate in my helmet.
Jon, there is just 5 words I want to here from you right now. You are Jon Snow, king of the north, father of dragons, lover of ginger wildthings, hunter of the undead, leader beyond the wall, breaker of hearts, victor of Ser Friendzone, speaker of fleas and bastard of Georgia.

The only thing I remember of interstellar was that a youtube of old people with fans was better than the movie.

I guess I liked Interstellar a lot more than most. Although I'd agree 2nd half got worse with the over the top "love" stuff. Maybe I still just think of it as the original script which would have been amazing.

Armageddon still fun too, just more a popcorn movie.

I wouldn't disagree with your judgement. I'm just shocked we didn't throw in somehow that The Martian was better than the other 2 or set the bar really low with that Deep Impact one and create a justified sliding scale. Using those 4 we could easily make a rating system for each scene in Game of Thrones.
