Hunter2_1 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 1 hour ago, scar988 said: In season 2, they had to negotiate with people in the riverlands and everything. Now, there's no one holding any of these castles on the way down. So it's a stright march. ALSO, Daenarys took her half of the army to white harbor and ferried them down with ships. Point still remains though - it was a matter of one scene and they were there. It's a huge depature from earlier season logistics. It's picky, and it's only an opinion - but the inconsistencies bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took so many cause there was a kid in the scene. It was the funeral scene where the main characters father died in like the 2nd to last episode. The fellow that played Jack Sparrows first mate.

Then he followed it up by saying the goodbye was more powerful the way they filmed it anyways... I mean are they really that expensive? I don't know anything about CGI, but my goodness that just seems like such a copout every year. CGI is cheaper than you think. They filmed all 5 Sharknado movies for over 3 million less than 1 episode of GOT. 1 episode. And that included paying everyone 5 times. Every day. Small po-dunk news station around the globe have been using green screen to do weather for 30 years. You can do it at home now just downloading an app. Austin Powers gave himself a hug as Dr Evil in 1999. Its 20 years later, cheaper and more advanced now. Cost 1 intern an hour of work to piece it together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see no other reason why they'd end it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 5 minute battle between the Clegane's would be pretty legit, actually. I would hope there'd be some sort of buildup to immediately precede that instead of Sandor just showing up and fighting him (for example: The Mountain captures Arya or something like that).

Tormund is King of the land beyond what was once the wall. Remember Tormund and Jons talks? Foreshadowing? Im rolling with Jon stands a better chance of becoming King Beyond The Wall than he does in the 7 Kingdoms. We have not seen the end of Tormund or Ghost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the writing and pace of this season is so rushed that it makes perfect sense to write off Tormund and Ghost in like 30 seconds.

Then Jon runs in Monty Python style, cuts Gregors head off then runs off leaving the Hound screaming at him taking his kill. It's going to happen.

Let's be real. Jon is going to pull a master Aemon and re-start the Night's Watch so he doesn't have to be King. It's been foreshadowed and makes perfect sense.

Im just saying I give it better odds of happening. Tormund with, "Ill follow him anywhere." Then sets to leave a few hours later. Telling Jon, "You belong to the north, the real north." "This is the end?: Whos to say?" Were going to wait out the winter storms and head for Castle Black. Few other points happened like that. I just can see him meeting them at Castle Black and going through the gates north more than I can see him being KOTN and stepping on Sansa the rest of his life or being stuck in KL the next 50years ruling.

Such a mediocre last season to end a great series on. Its a shame the writers are so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
