Dany’s ***** brother. who got burned throwing the lantern at the white walker in Castle Black? Jon snow burned his hand Molten Gold isn't fire. I don't recall the lantern burn but I'll take your word for it.... Was he burnt from fire or oil or wax ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Why would anyone believe there would never be more WWs and another NK? There could have have been a second made when the first was made or soon thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Bronn goes through with it and kills one of Jamie or Tyrion. I see Jamie as making more sense here. I don't see it especially since his role on the show after season 2 was much larger than in the books. He became a fan favorite so they just kept him in the show. He's not going to kill a major character. I'd applaud the show directors if they did have him kill Jaime or Tyrion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure I understand why some of you are so disappointed. It felt very hollywood-esque with people who should have been killed, but yet survived when someone else comes in just in the nick of time to save them. Kinda like watching an Avengers movie or even James Bond, when the situation is dire, someone swoops in to save them. This transition started as the show began to deviate from the books, the writers became comfortable with the actors and with their success and kept them going forward when the source material dried up. Stealing from another board "I think it’s a combination of getting past the deaths mandated by the books and also a symptom of the show getting older. This happened on "The Walking Dead," too. The longer the characters have been around, the harder it is for the writers to kill them off." The WW & NK simply became a way to get Danny & Jon together and unite them to go after Cersei. The problem was that there was still this fantastical element throughout the series that they are now unable or unwilling to or didn't care to develop to interweave back into the ending, with the build up throughout it was just dropped it in a manner that left some us very empty. The Night King turned out to be a boring villain because he does't talk and his motivation appears to be simple death and destruction. This series has this history of rich, complex villains, and this part of the series was underdeveloped; it feels like the writers wanted to end there. Over the past few seasons, a lot of story telling was done to make the White Walker threat more important than the fight for the throne and episode 3 is really jarring from that standpoint. It doesn't feel like it fits within the series. When you look at the GRRM characters, there were lots of layers and depth to them, the deaths were meaningful, impactful and left you wondering sometime, but then it became more evident why those characters had to die and when they died you felt it. I'm stealing this from another board: "It feels like the writers just wanted to dispense with Azor Ahai the way they wanted to dispense with the Night King. The fact that Arya killed him would make it seem like she is the Prince(ss) Who Was Promised, but she doesn't really seem to fit the bill. If the prophecy ends up affecting who is on the throne, maybe they'll mess with it so it's still Jon or Dany." It just feels like they want to quickly pivot from this onto the person who has become the traditional hollywood villain, Cersei. To be honest is Cersei really that compelling any more from a villain standpoint? The hate for her is for what happened in the past, I've kinda moved on from her.

Wasn’t a massive fan of the night shots but I understand why they did it. I think it served it’s purpose and I haven’t like how they handled it from the last season anyways. ONTO CERSEI!!! I watched the episode at my brother's house who has a Vizeo LED. Lighting wasn't as big of a problem with the Samsung 4K 60" when I rewatched it. Maybe HBO purposefully wants to help the tv companies. I was always more into the politics of GOT's and not the supernational elements (although Hardhome was cool). I'm kind of glad as well to move on past The Lord of Light and the Night King. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually didn't have too much problem seeing it either, as I was streaming it and it's less compressed than what the cable companies do. I can see why some people probably couldn't see much. Yea I agree there, always have enjoyed the politics and the character development in GoTs moreso. I don't have a problem with the supernatural elements or anything like that, I just always thought you weren't ever going to get a lot of development out of a character who can't speak. It was an important story because it brings characters together but I've never thought it was THE story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaoulDuke79 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I had an opportunity to watch it last night. Is t just me or did anyone else have a problem seeing what was going on. It was so dark I couldn't tell between the living and dead. Same with the dragons. I was actually expecting more people to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually expecting more people to die. The producers wanted it that way. (plus easier to hide flaws) It took 55 days to film the night scenes alone. IMO Keeps up the suspense not knowing if your favorite characters were going to fall or not. When they did, they made sure it was "bright" enough. I was also expecting more people to die but , I'm kind of glad they didn't. Back to a comment I made about Dany pulling Jorah in front of her when he was stabbed... I was incorrect. He sees the attacker coming and with his arm shoves her back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
