The character got like three lines all season and is merely a shadow of his former spymaster/spider self.

Yeah so many previously good characters have just turned in to 'tag alongs' this series and seemingly until the end of the show... They contribute nothing to the scenes they are in and just stand around looking awkward.

Isn't that because he's been marginalised after that little set to with Daenerys?

It's just because like Littlefinger, his natural environment and where he served the plot is/was being involved in the game, but the game isn't being played now, at least not covertly. In LF's case they kept him at Winterfell to kick up a fuss so he could consequently be ousted and removed from the board going into the final act (not being on anyone's side but his own and on the periphery = doomed). Varys is on a side at least, but if Melissandre is correct he's destined to die before it's over - presumably related to the endgame and the voice he heard in the flames - so he has to hang around in the background until that happens.

Well exactly. That makes less sense but neither felt quite right, so I was confused. I guess he was just saying he was going to get his revenge for his face.

i'm totally lost about this Ayra thing, i thought it was stated from like ep 1 that there was bad blood between the brothers and Hound was going to get his payback one day. i can only assume some dribbly fanboys thought it up, desperate to see a titchy chick take out a massive warrior?

It makes zero sense for him to be warning his brother that Arya is going to kill him and I'm surprised you even gave it serious thought. No-one hates Gregor more than The Hound, and this has been a running theme throughout all of the series.

speaking of, trying to keep this as polite as possible, did Ramsey take his nuts too? cos i got the inference it was just his knob, yet the repeated knees to the crotch in the fight suggested otherwise.

I thought that scene was awful.

I will be so annoyed if the Bran-Night King thing is 'true', it's only slightly less ridiculous than a sword blinking IMO.

It's such a convoluted supposition.

Sadly I wouldn't put it past D&S, seeing as they seem to have run out of ideas.

i can't see them doing this, its a crap idea and i give GRRM more credit than that.
 
I was a little confused by the fact that Cersi had already arranged with Uncle Grayjoy to leave in the way he did to juke everyone by being scared of the undead and leaving back to the Iron Islands. She didnt know that the undead would be there at the meeting but was still able to arrange with him to leave at that very point.....

Also when that thing was running towards Cersi (which is stupid, did they arrange for the undead guy to do that when he popped out of the box, he could have run at anyone and would have most likely ran at the nearest person.) did the Mountain not just smash it to pieces? He didnt even move, some body guard he is?! A mean yes a human that was alive would be shocked but the Mountain being undead as well should have just stepped forward and smashed it.... That would have been a better scene if he had done as his job dictates.

It makes no sense to me. Just another way of the director completely blind siding the audience to make the plot look clever when in fact it makes no sense.
 
The Euron storm out could have been pre-prepared without knowing what the trigger would be. Just have a strop and leave and make it convincing. The wight just happened to be a very good reason to have a strop. You can prepare an action in principle without know the exact trigger . Have code phrases to make it clear that you are doing it on script.

Care to share what you think another could have been? I guess he could have used the Dragons but they already knew about them! I cannot see any other convincing way he could have left like that without raising obvious suspicion.

Why does almost everyone think the mountain is undead. He was just badly poisoned and Qyburn used questionable means to make him better.

I don't think it has been clarified tbh.. we don't know whether he was cured and permanently damaged, whether he was died and brought back to life (and also now permanently damaged) or whether he's in some sort of zombie/undead state.

This seems to cover it pretty well.... Poison was used on Oberyn's blade.

Before the duel, Oberyn had his spears coated with manticore venom, one of the deadliest poisons in the known world. The venom causes his wounds to start putrefying, emitting an overpowering stench, and with dead flesh sloughing off and as a final torture, the venom forces him to remain conscious during the whole ordeal.

I always assumed he was dying and Qyburn did questionable things to save him e.g. using methods and potions not condoned or practiced by other maesters.

I've never thought he was undead though :confused:
