Poll: Winter Is Coming - HBO's A Game of Thrones [READ WARNING]

[VincentHanna]

You mean the one where they all died in the plane crash and it was all a fantasy

That's not the plot of Lost

Though I do conceed that season 6 was a massive letdown

Not sure what TV show you were watching but it certainly wasn't Lost.

Disappointing . . . was hoping to see a headless Ned Stark running amok in the crypt.

 

[Aedus]

anybody work out how Arya got the sword back from Sansa?

The dagger she used to kill NK was the one that was meant to be used to assassinate Bran in season 1. The one Sansa got was a dragonglass one.

From what i recall the spiral symbol was symbolic of the Wierwood Tree where the NK was created. the spirals representing the stones spiralling out from the tree etc. Also there are theories that the NK was in fact an ancient Stark *astard that was born in the Crypts. Im not sure how likely that is though.

Oh yeah I get that, that's the origin of them, but I hoped there was a meaning behind why they kept plastering them everywhere, you know?

IIRC, it's because they allowed the children of the forest to see thru them, and thus know what's going on in many places.

Well I enjoyed that.

Awesome TV.

Yeh, it wasn't perfect but tell me what else is on TV (or in films) that compares to it.

Too dark, though.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Thoroughly enjoyed that, despite its shortcomings. I like that the dagger meant to kill Bran ends up being used to save him. My only real issue with the episode was the non-appearance/use of the White Walkers. No problem with Arya dispatching the NK though - it wasn't a case of a mere assassin taking down this supernatural being after all. The Lord of Light was influencing everything to put her there at that moment.

As already stated, the music was magnificent!

 

[cm1179]

wasn't faultless and was too dark a picture in places but you won't find better tv than that

 

[uvarvu]

Watch from 33.50 to see how they filmed Arya's pounce.

 

[Bigpig]

Loved it. I can understand why they didn't cull to many characters. Wanted death to be meaningful.

Lyanna Mormont what a way to go out. Stole the show.

 

[rebel rebel]

It's quite a ballsy move killing the NK with 3 episodes to go. It's going to be interesting to see if the rest can match that for excitement.

Loved it. I can understand why they didn't cull to many characters. Wanted death to be meaningful.

Lyanna Mormont what a way to go out. Stole the show.

Yes she was excellent.

Agreed!! What a way to go!

Dissapointed in Bran though, was hoping he'd play more of a pivitol role in the fight. I hope he's not like this through the rest of the season.

 

[Feek]

Terrible, dreadful bitrate on Sky - We were watching it in a darkened room and the artifacting was disgraceful.

Great episode though, loved it.

 

[wolfie138]

what an absolute steaming mountain of pungent cac. didn't think any writing could be worse than the putrid rubbish Lost spewed up, but kudos to GoT writers for lowering the bar to subterranean levels. least i now have 5 or 6 hours of unexpected free time coming.

 

[bigbilly50]

Really great episode, will watch again.

 

[Tombstone]

I wonder, if Arya hadnt screamed when she jumped out, would she have got a clean kill against the NK. Did he turn because he sensed her or because he heard her scream.

What would you have written?

I thought Bran giving the little look over the NK's shoulder maybe put him on alert

Somebody needs a Snickers.

 

[LeMson]

That was the biggest steaming pile of BS I've ever seen.

One undead giant O_o
No Ice spiders o_O
What the NK touches he turns, grabs Arya, nowt. O_o
His generals and army all stand around whilst she passed them, jumps 9ft in the air and attacks him..............right........ O_o
Why was the NK attacking? Why the rush for the undead? Surround the castle and wait........forever? o_O (might spoil the action show-ness but come on they have waited 1000 years, what's 6 months outside a castle!
NK could have been raising the dead all over the shop too, he only did his party trick once o_O
