They had 2 years, and the first dialogue of the season was a balls joke. The sense of the humor in this episode was funny but it did feel out of place. Like Thor suddenly becoming a comedy. Oh wait.

And the mood stayed light the rest of the way. Next week with the Jaime trial and the hard prep work of Winterfell it should ramp on up the urgency. Maybe they wanted a light episode, putting people in good moods about their favs before the slaughter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to add what I think is a big issue with how people are viewing the urgency in this episode. This entire episode took what, a week in real life time? In that time they have been fortifying Winterfell and forging weapons etc. I think we are just a little used to how much time passed in the last 2 seasons to realize that there wasn't really anything wrong with the pacing in this episode. Except that Bran should have told Jon asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that Bran should have told Jon asap. I enjoyed it as it had a dose of everything. The reunions were each individually satisfying. We got to see Jon ride a dragon and Dany made sure EVERYONE at Winterfell knew it was him. We saw some crazy terrifying ritual warning. We saw what’s going on with all the major players. With only 6 episodes, we’d have to expect every episode being packed. I would have liked to see Sam and Brann tell Jon together. I feel like Brann’s ability is being vastly underutilized by his family. I’d be picking his brain constantly. LoL Edited April 19, 2019 by thrILL!

Except that Bran should have told Jon asap. The pacing was good. From the time Jon arrived, and Jaime rolling in days behind them. All felt like a realistic timeframe. I didnt see much fortifying. They were told the wall came down and the NK had his own dragon now. And when Alys Karstark was arriving back, they had 1 trebuchet set up and working on another. During the flyover, you couldnt tell much of anything having been done. Caesar built the Rhine Bridge, up to 1300 feet long, up to 30 feet wide in 30 feet deep water in 10 days. Entire North now, Vale troops been there a year, all these others. 100k just arrive, got their tents and stations set they showed. And 1 trebuchet standing. Couple little things. Like Jon alone at the weirwood and alone in the crypts. I would have emphasized that was due to not being able to sleep and being all wrung up over this force coming. Without so much of the, "hey, lets go joy riding cause I know of this sweet waterfall we can shag at." I mean I enjoyed the episode. I just wish that urgency factor had been cranked up a couple notches so the viewer could feel it as much as Dany/Sams encounter had touched viewers.

PARROTHEAD Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) David Hill (writer) reveals WW symbol meaning. Quote "As we saw with Bran and the Three-Eyed Raven, the spiral pattern was sacred to the Children of the Forest, who created the Night King by sacrificing a captured man in a spiral “henge of stones.” The Night King then adopted the symbol as a sort of blasphemy, like Satan with the upside-down cross."

PARROTHEAD Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Looked it up. See Edmure is scheduled for the season. Any guess as to what role he might have. He didnt roll north with troops in ep.1. Could he get there next week with troops in tow? Do they retreat to him? Or is he just making a cameo at the end to get his lands restored? Cause Robyn is scheduled to show at some point too. I could see all the heads gathering the last episode to pay homage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmure should still be a Lannister prisoner as part of his agreement with Jamie to spare his child’s life. Riverrun is under Lannister control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why I say about a cameo appearance. Cause hes been working on another show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They passed Edmure as a glory whore when he was much much different. Edited April 19, 2019 by Calvert28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
