Cinema Game of Thrones Season 7 Discussion Thread

[member 3289]

Question for @Priziesthorse and all other avid followers of the show:

Who do you think is the best actor (1) on the show?

I am biased of course, but for me it is Kit Harington (Jon Snow).

Like I said in a previous post, there is so much more to acting than just dialogue. Jon Snow is meant to be such a deep and complex individual, and Harington demonstrates that depth and complexity perfectly imo.

The way he stares/broods, his tone, his eyes (full homo).

Thoughts?




(1) Please note that the word actor is the common word used for both men and women now. The word actress is sexist, and gender equality is what we should be striving for.

I thought it was stupid that it even got tense between them.

Apparently there's a scene that didn't make the final cut for episode 7 in which Sansa goes to see Bran and says "we need to talk."

It was supposed to explain Sansa's confusion about whether she should follow Littlefinger's advice or confide in Arya, but there shouldn't have been any confusion from the beginning.

I knew about LF death ubfortubately, bUT if I hadnt, I'm glad they did it the way they did (leaving out the bran scene) bc otherwise it would have been obvious thst she wasn't still pissed at arya in th3 beginning of it

Yeah it made total sense for them to cut that part out. It played up the suspense big time.

I had read spoilers and unfortunately read that LF would be executed, but it wasn't happening exactly the way I read it, so I assumed the spoilers must be wrong.

I wasn't sure what Sansa was going to do until she started the "you stand accused of murder, you stand accused of treason. How do you answer these charges..." line.

Then when she turned her face and said "...Lord Baelish?" I was so giddy/excited that I screamed like a little girl on Christmas morning.

why not just walk across the bottom of the body of water, and walk out on the other side?

I think it would be a better plot point if the wights could only exist in sub-freezing temperatures.

I don't know, covered in ice around the shore, steep banks, too stupid

I think Davos is probably the best actor, his delivery is on point. Charles Dance/Tywin Lannister was the absolute best but he's dead now.

His scene where he was skinning that horse (it was a real horse and a butcher gave him a quick lesson just before shooting the scene) while talking to Jaimie was probably the best scene of the series.

I thought it was a stag, meant to signify the end of (trueborn) House Baratheon?

Yeah you're right. Not sure why I thought it was a bloody horse

The scene with Tywin having Ice re-forged had a wolf pelt on the ground, symbolizing his defeat of House Stark.

This deleted scene from season 3 is meant to symbolize his victory over House Tully, which was/is symbolized by a fish:

I can't stress this enough. Don't even Google "game of thrones" or u will face spoilers.

ID even recommend not even telling people u are watching.

Just avoid all lll spoilers and enjoy the ride.

If u have questions, dont Google it. Start a spoiler free thread ans ask it there. Tag some of us and we can provide answers without spoilers (if u need clarity on family, backstories and shit).

But u learn more and more along the way. So if/when u ask something, say how far along u are

Enjoy!!

Lol why jealous? You've already been thru all of the seasons right?

 

[kaladin stormblessed]

Yeh. My job right now is pretry much reading te books, watching the show, and making videos

So I've seen most scene (except seaosn 7), 10-20 times. And some many, many more bc they are clips in videos I make, and ull see those clips a dozens or 2 times on the course eof making a video

Even before making videos,I'd seen most episodes atleast 3-5 times. Or more. I would rewatch the every seaosn before the new season. It's that good

Even when u know the plot, the acting is great. And tje musical score (same dude for westworld) is a genius


But jealous bc the first time througu is special (due to the surprises)

I'm not going to spoil it, but I do have a request.

Please record your wife's reaction to the end of season 1 episode 9 and to the end of season 3 episode 9.

Then post the reaction videos here.

Also, now is a good time to start watching it.

By the time you catch up to everyone else, you won't have that long of a wait until the 8th (final) season starts.

You're in for a treat.
This is hands down the BEST show to binge-watch late in the game, bar none.
I started around Season 4 & watched seasons 1-4 till I caught up - waiting weekly for the rest was torture.
You're coming in at the right time.
Digest each episode after watching, before watching the next one.
Pay attention to speeches & get used to the accents lol.
Everything comes back around and is referenced later.

Episode 1 was kind of confusing lol but I think we have it figured out. Guess they were introducing the different kings and people from different areas? We paused it a couple of times and were like "okay, do you know whats going on here" lol.

It will start to make sense with each passing episode.

In the beginning it's confusing as fuck for everybody.

 

[member 3289]

That's a sick scene.

Jon: You mistake me, my lord. That was a command, not an offer. Pack your arms and armor, say your farewells, and ride for Greyguard.

Janos: I will not go off meekly into the night to freeze and die! Give it to one of the fools who cast a stone for you! I will not have it. You hear me, boy? I will NOT have it!

Jon: Are you refusing to obey my order?

Janos: You can stick your order up your bastard ass.

Jon: (to others) Take Lord Janos outside. Olly, bring me my sword.

When you have to wait until 2019 for the show... you start reading the books all over again!

 

[b00ts]

That said, has anyone read the novellas and compendium?

Do you mean the adventures of Dunk and Egg, and the world of ice and fire?

Those and I think there is The Rogue Prince and another. Should be about 5 or so novellas if I remember right. Gf got me a gift card to Barnes and Noble and I was going to maybe grab them.
