GAME OF THRONES - PART 9 - *NO BOOK TALK - READ THE RULES*

Nothing confirmed this theory so far, the wights immediately attacked Jon and co when they saw the lake was frozen solid, so its not like they were waiting for Dany, their path to Jon was just blocked. The wight army this ep was standing in front of the burning trenches for a good while and no one did anything to them. Thats not me "looking for criticism". I wouldn't say how much I loved last ep last week if I was "looking to criticize" the show.

That's... extremely anticlimactic and lazy. They were created to kill. So they kill. They have no thoughts on this matter. THey have no prophecies of their own. They have no reaction to being the end-game boss for an entire religion with millions of followers. They've existed for millennia but have done nothing but quietly collect corpses when no one was looking. They never tried to take out/convert all the wildlings. They never tried to bring down the wall in the past. They just conveniently waited, jacking off in the snow, for thousands of years for our main characters to venture north of the wall (despite the Night's Watch doing this frequently for millenia). Were they just waiting on dragons? Dragons existed in Westeros for a couple hundred years before this, and they start their moves before Danny hatches hers on the other side of the world. So why, after millenia of hiding, did they choose just before the start of the show to begin harassing Wildings. I can't stress that enough. If there goal was simply to "kill all humans" why suffer the Wildlings to live for so long? Why begin trying to "harvest/convert" them right at the start of the show? Again, the dragon's hadn't been hatched yet, yet alone let them know about it. Does this mean the NK has greenseer/3ER powers like Bran does? Is that why he really wants to kill Bran, to prevent a rival?

And I could go on. But none of that will ever be addressed now. They are bad. They are ugly. THey kill. They are killed. The end. Oh, but there was that awkward scene where the writers tried to flesh out the WW. Sam mumbles about death and forgetting and how the NK wants all of humanity to be forgotten... because that's what real death is! Its just.... this is the big bad that was set up from the very first episode. And this is all we get of them. It's just so unsatisfying and lazy.

According to the writers "there was no reason to believe that dragon fire wouldn't hurt him, but there was also no reason to believe that it would" There.

Freeza wrote:Aren't Valyrian steel infused with magical spells?

Always assumed something made with magic should be used to kill someone made from magic.

Freeza wrote:Re-watching episode now on my 4K tv.

Looks much better ffs

Can actually see most of it

Freeza wrote:Nothing in the show suggested he was waiting on Vicerion?

Let me do you one better. Nothing in show suggested he would be anything other than a metaphor for global warming without a character arc. The need for him to have an arc was all built from fan theories.

That metaphor, ironically, is a fan theory unless those hack frauds D&D actually said that.

Freeza wrote:Also NK served his purpose perfectly.

He got humans working together, stop the petty bullshit and was a force that reduced the amount Humans alive by a decent amount.

Never thought he was supposed to be more than a challenge to bring together a heroes.

I still have no idea why people thought he ought to be some kind of 3D mastermind. He’s just an unstoppable force archetype

M99 wrote:One thing I really really hope the show does not ignore (inb4 no time) is the answer of why in this particular point in history are the white walkers invading. Also why they are doing it,

Yeah. I think we're due a very huge Bran expository scene in next episode to explain it. That or episode 7.
