House of the Dragon (Game of Thrones) Thread

But Arya and Jon feel sooooooo far apart in age. Ugh.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

I just reeeeeally hope the show doesn't end with there being an incestual couple together at the end. 

[Josh]

Yeah that.

Still pulling for Arya atop a pile of bodies.

Nice.

On my watch through. Already on Season 5 episode 6

Post season 4 is such a slog. You can tell by doing a watchthrough just how much of a different feel the show gets.

[Schlitzbrille]

If you don't want potential spoilers, stay the hell off r/freefolk for a while. Frikidoctor's reputedly leaking the rough plotline for S8E1, apparently gonna do the same for the rest of the season in the upcoming weeks. Based off the fact that HBO had his video taken down this quickly, I'm betting it's legit.

 

Skimmed it, nothing really unexpected for an episode predicated mostly on reunions/prep for the AOTD outside of

Look away now.

Theon rescuing Yara. Also, Gendry/Arya sexual tension, FORGESEX CONFIRMED

I really don't know why anyone would intentionally look at spoilers of entire episodes if they're intending to actually watch them. Coming up with theories without knowing for certain if they're accurate is a massive part of the fun in this story.

Because reading it and seeing it, regardless if you know what happens or not, are different things. I don't mind spoiling things I care about, because I know I'll love it anyway, and there's the off-chance the spoilers could be wrong

My friend is determined to not watch anything until GRRM releases the last book. It's so annoying. 

[Maxx]

Good luck with that.

Given that many story threads in the book have gone in different directions to those in the show, I don't think watching the final series will harm my enjoyment of the final books, should they ever materialise. Perhaps we'll know the way the story ends, but the steps it takes to get there should be different enough to make the books appealing.

I think the most frustrating thing about George RR Martin's slow writing pace is that I didn't find the last couple of books all that exciting, but they ended in such intriguing ways that they left the biggest hooks between the novels yet. Some of the as-yet untied plot points involve characters that aren't even in the show, so we've still got years of fan theories to come.

Give me more Victarion, Darkstar, Blackfyres and Manderly!

Also remember when Robb Stark sent a letter to Howland Reed?  Kind of need that to tie in.

Shhh don't remind people about Howland Reed, they'll only be let down.

The books are at a place, where only one or two things from the TV show are 100% obviously going to happen... So I still can’t wait for Ultimate ASOIAF Universe

Rewatching season 5, and man, Tommen can really make you super annoyed and want to fast forward his undecidedness, even though he's being sort of what you'd expect from a boy King.

Tommen at least did things that Joffrey, Renly, Stannis and Robert never did. 

And by "things" I mean Margaery. Lucky literal bastard...
