Did you not notice that Yara's ships were lit up like Christmas trees? Even before the shelling started. First thing my missus said was "I'm not sure all that fire on wooden ships is safe".

 

If he knew where they were going from and to, he could work out roughly where they were. They would be fairly easy to spot - That many little up ships would throw out loads of light and he should be able to spot the flagship, if he knew what he was looking for.

 

It nicely illustrated the gulf in ability between them.

I think it's just Sky Now TV streaming, but people have been saying that's shit over the last couple of pages.

 

Can Now TV shows be downloaded and potentially provide better quality than direct streaming?

Loved that episode. Amazing finale. 

 

Funny how each 'tribe', for want of a better word, is shown to be incompetent one episode and tactical genuises the next. I guess it would take a lot of the tension out of GOT if one always got the upper hand.

I decided I wanted to rewatch a lot of it. Mostly because there are so few "players" left that the politics have been massively simplified. I miss it.

 

6 days left to watch 4 series on NowTV. 

 

Skipping through mostly; pausing to watch the good bits. My god, Joffrey is almost unpalatable :lol:

Definitely missed Bronn. Tyrion as Hand was so great. Maybe I longed for Ser Jorah, he saved every single Space Malta episode he was in. Also missed Ygritte trying to give Jon a husband's bulge ^_^ 

 

I'm so glad Davos, Varys and the Hound are still in it. I love them.

"Fuck the Kingsguard. Fuck the city. Fuck the King." :wub:

 

Currently watching Blackwater. All of it. I'd forgotten how cool the drums sounded, how well they did for their first huge battle scene with not much of a budget. Bronn shooting for the wildfire and the subsequent explosion looked awesome. My god Lancell was a bloody pansy.

Look it's a main character, everyone put your blades away and use non-lethal forms of combat.

 

I was thinking this lying in bed last night. So many deaths, yet none of any significance at all.

I’m doing the same @NexivRed, if you’re really hooked, I thoroughly recommend the books. 

 

I’ve been rewatching it all with the missus whilst listening to the audio books at work. I’ve just got to the Red Wedding on the series and you’re right, you take it for granted but a lot of the surviving support characters are/were badasses. I never really liked The Hound until chicken-gate which catapulted him into my top 3. Bronn I’ve loved from the start, even though it took me half a season to realise it was one half of those geezers who sang Up On The Roof. It’s also interesting to see the budget increase seeing as though you never see Jamei get captured at battle early on but compare that to series 4, 5 and 6. Crazy.

Great, great show.

Bronn looked like a fucking Rockstar letting off that arrow. 

 

I was an extra in season 6, the scene I was in (which got cut)  was when Jaime and Bronn were at the twins, Bronn was bragging to two maids about his shot at blackwater bay!

By coincidence, I rewatched the Blackwater battle tonight. Comparing it to the Battle of the Bastards is interesting. The latter is technically miles ahead. However, the way that Blackwater pushes on and ties together the stories of at least half a dozen characters is incomparable. No one actually changes from the Battle of the Bastards, other than Ramsay losing his life - which is about the least interesting change there can be, really.

Why / where were that lot just having a night time sail to? And this is the proof that he said he would get for Cersie ya?

And Theon's little commitment didn't last long. Live to run away another day though. Bright lad.

I'm assuming he knew the movements Yara and Theon would be making. Also, it's called The Narrow Sea. I imagine it being a bit like the channel; in places you can see the other side. 

 

Ships have been hunting and taking down enemy ships for centuries in far bigger waters. I don't see why it's such a strange thing he should know the Iron Fleet's whereabouts.

He'd be a pretty shit captain if he couldn't track down a fleet he's specifically looking for, who don't know they're being hunted, in a not very large body of water. And he's meant to be the best.

Does anyone else think that little fingers' words were a bit out of character? I mean why be that stupid and say:

 

 


Before you leave Jon, you should know that I want to ride your sister just as hard as I wanted to ride your fake-mum! Slam dunk! Alley-oop bro! Ya feel meeeeee? BOOM SHAKALAKA!

Ironically I've gone back to torrenting this, because the video and audio quality on the NOW TV app is dreadful. So... I tried paying for it, got a shitty, artifact-ridden picture that appeared to be 720p, and stereo sound. This week I downloaded a 1080p 5.1 surround rip and I'm not looking back.

 

Nice work, content providers.

 

Yes it was awful. Also bizarrely low brightness meaning squinting during the opening shots and the sea battle. Might have to do the same.

It did occur to me when they were talking about it that if there was a siege of Kings Landing now there's nobody we know left there anyway. Assuming Jamie goes off to fight I can't see us all being bothere about Cersei and Qyburn.

As Ellaria was just trying their booze for the first time I'm guessing they'd just left as well.

I thought it was comical that Arya decides to go to Winterfell at the exact time that Jon Snow decides to leave. How many near-misses has he had with his siblings now? Also, Arya meeting up with her estranged wolf felt like they were tidying up a loose plot thread in the quickest way possible.

 

Good episode though, I liked the cutting between the different claimants to the throne and the divvying up of the allies. I kind of wish that they'd got to this point a little sooner - it feels like half the series has been stuff that would normally serve as backstory, and half the rest of it has been setup. Things are actually kicking off now, so it's slightly daunting that there are only a few episodes left.
