Guest Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Sorry if there is already a thread. Any GOT fans on here? SOLID start, w a few throwbacks to early seasons, to its final season.
Irishman Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 LOVE the show.....great opener to it. I will be curious to see how Danaerys handles John Snow being the real king. My guess is she will be fine with it. But will Snow abdicate for her?
Muda69 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Not a bad season opener. I expected a "moving the pieces around" episode and that is basically what it was. Getting the characters and story lines all lined up for the crap to hit the fan.
Guest Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Correct me if I am wrong, but we saw just about all the main characters from seasons past excluding (and I may have missed her) Melisandre and of course the White Army (or whatever they are called---the people w the blue eyes).
swordfish Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Great opener for the final season. Now that SF is paying for the HBO Now service - I may go back and binge watch the series....... 1

You are correct. The HBO app had a post show discussion with the directors, talking about story lines that reconnected even going back to season 1. The White Walkers...fyi

I watched the post show discussion and recognized some of the call backs......after watching last night, now I know how my wife feels w me and TWD, LOL! I have the hardest time remembering what people's names are. I just say that dude or lady. My wife sighs. Apparently the scene w/ the dude w red hair (the wilding) "I've always had blue eyes!" was in a never before seen castle of Lord Umbearth??????????
Irishman Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I am terrible with names from the show as well; except Danaerys...I remember her name. 1
gonzoron Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) I saw the 1st episode Season 1 when the series started just randomly browsing channels while sitting in a hotel room. I was hooked. Didn't have HBO (still don't) and have the first 2 seasons on DVD. When I found out it was based on books, I binge read all the books. May have had to wait on the last 2 until they were written. After reading the books, I lost interest in the HBO series when they started deviating somewhat from the books and just stopped watching. Having a free HBO preview this weekend, watched quite a few of the episodes from later seasons and found similarities with the books enough to follow everything. Watched Episode 1 Season 8 last night, now our free preview is over, so may have to wait until the next freebie to catch up from here. I highly recommend the books if you haven't read them. Several hundred pages each, just my type of book. Edited April 15, 2019 by gonzoron 1

So she is his aunt, so the dragons could be called cuz 🙂
Lysander Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Read the first book back in the 90s. When they threw Bran off the Castle wall I stopped reading. My oldest was a little younger than Bran's age then. Broke my heart.... Picked the series back up and read it gleefully about 15 years later when I was ready to throw my oldest out of the house.....unfortunately, I didn't have a castle wall at the time... Timing is everything. 1
Muda69 Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 “I have a son, you have a daughter. Let’s join our houses.” - Robert Baratheon Hmm, I don't think it was the son the late Robert Baratheon or the daugher the late Ned Stark had intended.............. 1

The scene around the fireplace was excellent last night. Not sure why Jon Snow delivered the tough news to "Aunt" Daeny just right before they have to hop on dragons and fight a million zombies.....doesn't seem like great timing..... Will all this play out in movie form......
Irishman Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 My guess is with the first fight being this early, there will be some sort of retreat involved, forcing Westeros into the battle.
Irishman Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Whenever the wildlings are a big part of a scene, does anyone else think of Celts from movies like Braveheart? 😂
swordfish Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 What it felt like watching the Arya and Gendry scene, where she checked THAT item off her bucket list......ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, .......OK, it's over..... 1

Has me guessing she will perish defending Jaime in the next episode. Loved Tormund explaining how he got so big, suckling from the teets of a giant mother. For you that desire your son to play Power 5 football.....you may just have a new plan......... I thought Jaime was going to lop off her head.
