MSU Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Jaime killing Cersei to become a Queenslayer would be a nice close to his arc. And then topping himself in an Shakespearean fashion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I think I'm the only one not convinced Cersei and Littlefinger will die this season. I actually see Baelish trying to serve the Night King once shit gets real. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on here perhaps but other people need to simmer the f**k down and stop being so precious.

Spain Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I was reading that next series although short in number of episodes, is actually going to be longer than any of the series before because each of the 6 episodes will be 1.5-2 hrs. Similarly the last one of this series is supposedly 82 mins long (excluding ad breaks). It's not necessarily going to be the mad rush of killing folk off and tying up the storylines people think. Also, re: the Sheeran scene. It annoyed me too, but I don't think he was even the worst actor in that scene. The big tall guy who's wife had just had his kid was equally out of place. I'm not convinced it's changed Arya's mind about Cersei at all though, I think it's just highlighted to her a similar point that Jon was making towards Sansa - these guys are just soldiers and shouldn't be held accountable for how evil their lords are/were - similar to the argument he made about the remaining Karstark and Umber kids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Bully Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Watched this and loved it up until season 3 or 4 but completely fell out of it. Did plan to go back and watch it but the news of the cameo appearance has genuinely put me right off, what a completely unnecessary thing to do. You're probably better just drinking from puddles to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a normal actor played his part I'd feel exactly the same way. Saying that, the scene took absolutely nothing away from the episode as a whole. I thought it was a brilliant first episode back and moved stuff along nicely. How can you have any idea what was "needed" for the remaining storyline without seeing what plays out? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Cersei will be killed by "the mob", she'll likely find out something she doesn't like about Jamie, kill him, and be left with just The Mountain. Can see danaerys turning up outside the gate and the whole place panicking themselves into killing Cersei and just handing Kings Landing over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needed was probably the wrong word, it certainly felt out of place with the pace of the rest of the episode. As I said I'm not going to let it ruin the rest of the episode for me. It is what it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 It was a decent opening episode. Just putting all the pieces in place. The Sheeran scene was pointless, would the scene have even been in if he wasn't in it ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 If Wilko had been shoe-horned into a scene that involved him duck-stepping across the stage playing a guitar I think people would've been pissed off. As it happens, he was cast as a proper character and gave a proper performance. Nothing tacked on about him at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 That's because nobody knows who/what the f**k Wilko is. Wilko Johnson was in a band called Dr Feelgood who were quite famous in the 70s. He was around at the time when "punk" music was becoming popular and he's thought of as a big influence on that type of music being so well known. He also played Ilyn Payne the executioner in the first couple of seasons. Think he's got cancer now which is why he's not been back in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Incidentally, you'd struggle to find a dodgier looking bunch than Dr Feelgood. Great band but I wouldn't want to have met them in a dark alley etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great band though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
