Talking Syndrome – Game of Thrones Spoilers!

Create a weapon out of nothing?! What do you mean Huber?!!!

"Bran Warg's the earth…" is best comment.

L&R ✌

All of the Naval stuff was lame, unrealistic, rushed, forced, and pointless.

Completely unrelated, but Huber needs to try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zwUocK4QQ8

How the hell would Danny know that the Knight King controls all of them? Not to mention there were a million dudes so she probably couldn't see him. Plus she was trying to save John then lost her son.

The big problem this season is that the writers were focused on making fans happy by writing what they wanted to see. Also was not happy the way they handled little fingers death, plus the john and danerys romance felt forced.

God increasing the playback speed is a must for these videos….skip through all the Huber reading chat parts 1.5X seems to be perfect

I didn't mind that the show unlocked fast travel but it did feel like they abused it rather than coming up with more clever alternatives. I was really pumped about the season up until the episode where they went beyond the wall. At that point it seemed like they started pushing characters to make really dumb decisions just so they could get to point M in the plot that they wanted.  I'm still not sure what the point of grabbing the wight was since Cersei didn't team up with them. All they got out of it was Jamie. 

I think a better storyline would have been. Jon realizes that if you kill a white walker, you kill all the wights it turned (he learns this either from Sam or Bran) so if we get the Night King we wipe out the army of the dead. All season Jon is getting rejected by allies, he knows he doesn't have the numbers to take on the army of the dead in a straight battle. Jon decides instead to go beyond the wall with a suicide squad to execute the night king and end the war before it can start. Dany hears about his plan, she flies to Eastwatch with her dragons to try and stop him. She catches him just in time and urges him not to go. He says if she takes her armies north he'll cancel the suicide mission otherwise this is Westeros' best last hope. She says she can't do that. So Jon goes.

Jon suicide mission happens. They encounter Cold Hands early on. He saves them from the Undead Polar bear and reluctantly leads them to the Night King. Jon and Benjen get a chance to reconnect. Most of the beats play out the same. They manage to corner the Night King and some of his buds. Epic fight. They take out some White Walkers. One of our beloved team is killed by the NK maybe it's cold hands. NK turns him into a wight and forces Jon to fight against his own uncle.  Jon wins but it's devastating for him. No time to think about that as NK unleashes a horde of wights on them. The suicide squad decides to live to fight another day and starts sprinting back towards the wall. Wights nipping at their heels. Just as they're about to be overrun. WALL OF FIRE. Dany flies in with the dragons andd saves the day. She sees the Night King and decides she's going to take him out and end this thing once and for all so she dive bombs him with Drogon. NK grabs the spear and lofts it. Just as it's about to pierce Drogon's heart and take out both Dany and Drogon, Viserion dives in front and takes the shot for his mother and brother. NK's got em shook now so Dany takes her other two Dragons plus the suicide squad and heads home.

I absolutely loved the littlefinger death scene however I didn't like what they did with his character and thought that he would be much more important, revealing some shocking revelation before he died revealing layers of depth to his character . I thought he would be the ultimate villain after the night king was killed possible being king. I thought he was doing everything in his power to let the white walkers win, essentially starting the war of the 5 kings in order to weaken the realm for the white walker attack. I imagined a bran flashback scene where littlefinger was working for the white walkers, a contact on the inside or perhaps just letting them win because he is obsessed with chaos. Instead we just got someone who claimed to love sansa and had very strange ways of showing it. We never find out why he sold her to the boltons, what was his end goal? He claimed he wanted to sit on the iron throne with sansa by his side but i always thought that was far too mundane for littlefinger. I always thought he wanted something much more, something crazy like letting seeing the world burn or a return to the old times before human kind. I could see him actually being some weird shape shifter, some other race no one has ever heard of. I also thought it could have gone another direction where everything he had ever done was in a a way to protect sansa, like a snape and harry potter scenario. Instead we got someone with unclear motives who died before he got to reveal them.

Jaime emerging from the water was his rebirth amidst smoke and salt from the azor ahai/prince that was promised reborn prophecy. It could also tie into the prophecy of azor ahai forging lightbringer. First it was tempered in water but broke then in the heart of a lion but also it broke last it was tempered in the heart of his lover and azor ahai pulled out lightbringer a flaming sword that ended the long night. Jaimes sword has already been tempered in water, killing cersei would fulfill the other components making jaime azor ahai reborn/the prince that was promised. This also ties in with him being the king slayer. If this is true that would also make him the queen slayer (cersei) and the king slayer again (night king). In season 1 jaime mocks jon about the role of the nights watch and about the mythical creatures they supposedly protect against so him ultimately being the one to kill the king of these mythical creatures would be a very cool twist. We see similar emerging from water from both jon in ep 6 and tyrion in s 5 this is clearly symbolic. Jon snows lover that he kills could be danaerys this could be done for a number of reasons, dany is going mad, jon snow becomes corrupt with power when he finds out he is heir the the throne or perhaps he knows that it is necessary to forge lightbringer and defeat the night king. Its not clear Whether the emerging from water ties into the "azor ahai being reborn amidst smoke and salt" or the forging of lightbringer Or perhaps they are both intertwined and both prophecies derive from the same thing. This could mean that lightbringer is not infact a sword necessarily, this makes sense considering jon snows sword never fell in the water and tyrion was likely not carrying a blade. Something else that was tempered in water and reborn amidst salt and arguably smoke was viserion. This ties into the bran being known as the winged wolf and being told he will fly. It is not likely he will warg into rhaegal, that spot is likely reserved for Jon snow. It also ties into the fact that lightbringer was a flaming sword. This emerging from water could also be part of another prophecy. In the citadel one of the maesters talked of a prophet who claimed the drowned god would rise up and kill aegon the conquerer. The obvious choice for the drowned god would be theon since his people worship it but it could also be jon, jaime or tyrion as they all nearly drowned but emerged. Aegon Targaryen could mean literal Aegon Targaryen (jon snow) or it could mean dany.

The thing that gets me angry is shows like TWD & GOT have loads of viewers and at best there okay show's but show's like "the Americans" and "the wire" get small audience's.

My only real problem wasn't the weird travel time stuff in the penultimate episode. What annoyed me was Jon Snow attacking the zombies for FAR longer than he needed to. At first he was buying time for everyone to get on board the dragon, which was good, but then he started moving AWAY from the dragon, attacking zombies that were safely out of reach. At that point, the Night King had all the time in the world to throw a javelin.

Metal, leather, & fur + water = slow horse. Add another person = NO TIME!
