NFT: Game of Thrones season 8 episode 2

eli4life : 4/21/2019 8:43 am


Does John tell Dany she’s been doodling her nephew Aegon Targaryen?

The inquisition of Jammie Lannister who saves him? Bran? Brienne?

The continuation of the Sansa bitchfest 2019.

Tormund and company arrive at winterfell and let everyone know the shit is about to hit the fan.

Remember no matter where you are or what your doing he’s watching

People complaining about these episodes being too sentimental, try sitting thru all of those seasons of the Walking Dead. That show has no idea how to get it right, GOT was right on the money for me.



I loved it too those complaining saying all this should of been done last week I’d agree if it was a longer episode but it wasn’t so if they did that it would be like 20 seconds for each thing and people would bitch about that


Yup. There’s just a group of people that insist on being critical every single week and it’s always the same posters. Some sort of hipster coolest guy in the room type stuff to be able to bash the greatest show in television history. I’m guessing by the time it’s all over we’ll be grateful we had these slower moments.

No one cares about incest in the story. It made sense that she cared about him being a threat. Something else needs to come of the story, it can’t just be humans vs walkers then defeating Cersei. Someone will be getting fucked over, something else big has to happen.

We are all frothing at the mouth to find out what happens after at least a decade now (readers and tv watchers). I suspect when it’s all over this episode is looked back on even more fondly. But right now everyone is just impatient and dying to know what we’ve been building towards.



I don’t agree at all. Sure, I want to know what happens next. But we don’t need two recap episodes, it was a giant waste. I really liked this episode but it didn’t push anything forward. They should have been combined, it was basically telling us what we already knew, but twice.


I disagree, there is so much of a rich history, that I enjoyed most of the conversations and the tense moments before the battle begins. I usually hate that sorta thing, but for me, it works with this show.

Not every conversation was a recap or a reunion, if the writing and acting is good, then I’m okay with it.

LOL at Tormund still trying to get with Brienne. Also "The things I do for love".

Next week's episode should really move things along.


On the contrary, I thought the Arya/Gendry scene was well done. Arya doesn’t want to die a virgin.

My only complaint is that Emilia Clarke can’t act. And it’s painfully obvious in the scene with Sansa. Sooo wooden.

You need to really get a grip dude. I said I really liked the episode, what else do you want? Yes I’m critical, I think the two should have been combined, shoot me for that opinion. No idea why it bothers you so much. Every week you go to battle with anyone that has a single bad word to say about the show, why do you care?

I gave this episode it’s due, it was really good. So sorry my opinion of the show as of late differs from yours. I can both think a show is great (GoT is) and think they are making some poor choices. It’s not flawless.
I also hope the series doesn’t end

I don’t know it it’s while the battle is going on or not, but Tyrion’s conversation about death with Jamie made me 100% certain the Bronn is going to ice him with the crossbow.
Yeah, Emilia Clarke is a problem.

She's about to be involved in some of the biggest scenes in TV history - hope she doesn't ruin them. Kit Harington isn't exactly Daniel Day-Lewis either, but at least he doesn't get in the way of the story.

I don’t disagree, my point is that it should have been an 80 minute premier, we didn’t need 2 prep episodes. I love the slower episodes, it’s where the show shines like in the earlier seasons, so I’m fully on board with great dialogue and good acting. I just wish they made a different decision to kick off these final episodes.
thought this episode  
GiantGrit : 4/21/2019 10:56 pm : link
Was absolutely terrible.

Really? The plan is to "hold them off" while Bran is a sitting duck? Think of the warfare intelligence in that room. No one had any better ideas? At least have some people argue back and forth on strategy before Bran puts them in their place. And even his part was disappointing. He wants an endless night? We're at season 8, the big battle, and no one even knows what the night king wants? Either we're in for a big twist or its weak writing.

I liked last week too. I get the need for fillers. I didn't even expect death tonight. Just a weird, choppy episode for me.

- noticed Sam & Giddy's kid mentioned a few times tonight. They did send a white walker general after him. Maybe he's important to the story.

...  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 4/21/2019 10:56 pm : link
This episode was almost pure filler/tease, but I enjoyed it much more than the last because it had some of the character interactions I wanted (and expected) from the last one.

(On a side note, how f'ing stupid is it for John to tell Daenerys the truth right before the f'ing battle???)

UConn4523 : 4/21/2019 10:58 pm : link
but I’d love a BBI poll on who’s dying in episode 3. Some of these were final goodbyes, likely Grey Worm and Tormund. But of the main characters there has to be at least 2 that bite it.
Calling these episodes a waste of time...  
Chris in Philly : 4/21/2019 10:58 pm : link
is insane. This is one of the greatest shows ever, with some of the greatest characters of all time. These characters all deserve to spend some time with each other (and we with them), especially since half of them will be dead in another episode. This was about setting the stage, about reuniting some characters, and introducing new unions with others.

There is a lot of meat on the backstories of these characters, especially for those who have read the books. This isn’t the walking dead, with cliched, one-note characters created or maneuvered just to serve cynical plot points.

Seriously I don’t know that some of you will ever be happy. I would have hated tho watch The Wire with some of you miserable fucks!

5BowlsSoon : 4/21/2019 11:02 pm : link
Every dialogue was meaningful and many put a nice smile on my face. I too was disappointed Tormund didn’t get as naked as Arya did.

I was surprised Jon revealed the secret to Dany before the battle. Why not wait to see if they are still alive.

This episode had no action at all and I didn’t mind. Good dialogue trumps fight scenes for me just about every time.

I thought that was a great episode  
mfsd : 4/21/2019 11:09 pm : link
it hit a lot of the emotional notes week 1 whiffed on - Sam giving his family sword to Jorah, Brienne standing up for Jaime, the drinking club (just bummed they didn’t invite the Hound to join them), Edd/Sam/Jon reminiscing about the Nights Watch, Sansa sharing a bond with Theon

And who cares if the acting was a little weird in the scene - Arya’s been a brilliant character for 7+ seasons, seeing her get some was awesome.

Perfect spot for Jon’s reveal to Danaerys to get interrupted, but as usual frustrating how he blunders into everything. Also notable how emotionless she was about everything except having competition for the crown.

I think Theon is a goner next week.

PatersonPlank : 4/21/2019 11:15 pm : link
he's a central character this season. I think Brienne dies protecting Jaime, and I still think there is some "unknown" strategy that Tyrion is doing, probably with Jaime.

The big question to me is what happens with Jon and Dany, and who rules.
