Theon “killed” bran and rickon in season 2 and announced himself in charge of winterfell. He actually just burned two farm boys he found to make it look like he killed them, when really he couldn’t find them. From then bran spent like 4 seasons wandering to the wall, making it to the wall, going beyond the wall, etc. No one really knew he was alive until last season when he showed back up and met up with Sansa. Sam knew too but he wasn’t gonna go telling Kings landing about it. Ramsey could have surmised that bran was still alive since he captured rickon, but I guess he didn’t bother telling anyone about any of that.

My only question is, where are the wolves? I don't even remember how many are still around (I think 2). They have to play a role.

FYI the wolf handler is listed in the credits...so their will be wolves.

The build up was great in this episode but the dialogue was terrible. Usually thrones excels at both.

I mean it was whatever. Which is a problem when there are 5 episodes left. Like.... timeline complaints are going to derive from taking an entire hour to really advance nothing. Whatever happens the next episode probably could have happened here, to smooth things out.

It just comes down to running out of books. Those books, for those that read them, are some of the most descriptive out there. It lays out literally everything for a show writer. Then suddenly they’re without them. What could anyone expect at that point? They’re doing their best. Which is fine, but expecting it to be as good as before isn’t right. It was never gonna be.

Speaking of the books though, I have a theory. Ready for a theory? Good. Since Sam is sort of a narrator and I think George Martin said that he’s kind of a representation of himself, I think that Sam is going to somehow die at the end, however it happens. and the last book won’t come out until martin’s death. It’s done, and ready to be published, but no one will see it until then. Just my two cents on that little bit of controversy.

Should I be more proud of never watching an episode of Throne Games or not knowing who Nipsy Hussle was?

Please advise.

Major exposition episode. Five more to go.

I didn't think it was bad. Just a bit slow for a show that's supposed to be wrapping things up within 5 episodes. Didn't need the 10 minute, $5 trillion dragon flying scene

The battle is gonna be sweet

Everyone thought that Theon killed him. I don’t think anyone was ever really in a position to bother making an announcement that that wasn’t true when they found out, except maybe Ramsey, but he just wanted to kill all of them himself. So Jaime probably did think he was dead.

I guess it comes down to how quickly you believe news spreads across the country. Bran isn't hiding. Random people have seen him wheeling around. Word is gonna spread about him being back in Winterfell. Anyway, we're getting into the weeds here.

There's what, four episodes left now? The reunion tour is over, time to get to murdering bitches.

Thinking the dialogue sucked = not liking game of thrones? Interesting.

Yawn. Simpleton logic.

Had you read the books prior to/during the show, or do you just know when the books stopped covering it. I honestly have no idea.

Season 7 is when they ran out of books to write on. I’ve only read about 2.75 of the books.

I thought there were 8 episodes this season, are there only 6?

I'm also pretty sure that the final ep is going to be around 2 hours long.

Saw somewhere the rest will be close to 80 min each.

I was surprised when my wife told me it was only 6 episodes. I was figuring 7 since the last season had 7 episodes, and I knew that they had decided on two shorter seasons instead of one big last season. You're probably right about the finale. The finale of the last season was almost 90 minutes, so I would think it will be at least that long.

by **pulling69** Mon 15 Apr 2019 - 15:58

Only 6 episodes but the last couple are 2 hours each. Episode 3 is supposed to be the battle and is the longest episode. Also supposed to be all battle, the producers wanted to top the old "record of 47 minutes of a continuous battle scene from the LOtR series.

Estimated running time: 0:54

Estimated running time: 0:58

"1:20" = 1 hour, 20 minutes.

That was solid. Of all the 'reunions' that one is the most awkward.

I don't think Sam will be too heart broken over his dad. Maybe his brother though.

Does anyone know if Disney or Universal has a Game of Thrones ride in the works? The dragon riding scene reminded me of something that could be like the Avatar ride at Animal Kingdom (which is awesome, btw). I wouldn't be all that shocked if they did that scene largely for the sake of a future ride at a park. After all, the cross-marketing of the final season, from Adidas GOT shoes to Johnny Walker doing a "White Walker" label, has been out of control.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** Tue 16 Apr 2019 - 11:55

Ha, I don't think you're going to see any GoT stuff at WDW anytime soon.

Maybe they can convert Rapunzel's tower at MK into an interactive ride and when you get to the top you can see Flynn Rider fucking his sister from behind.

True, but they've had rides based on R rated movies, haven't they? Or maybe that's just at Universal. Universal and Hollywood Studios run together for me.

I got a chuckle imagining that scene with the Disney animatronics. Game of Thrones - Final Season - Page 3 502811600

My wife and I were just saying that we wish our daughter could watch GOT. She's 13, so um, maybe in 10 years. They could make a nice extra chunk of money selling a PG-13 version on Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital.
