No, it really isn't lol. Turbulent waters sure, but it was literally a hole in the ground. It should have been frozen to the bottom. It only takes sustained -1c to do it. There's no reason the pond was thawed, and there's no reason it didn't refreeze in minutes. I've lived through 67 winters in one of the coldest places in the world. 67 winters and you haven't learned to relax and enjoy a TV show.

No matter how dumb the show looked due to pacing it was plausible. OK but it's been winter, with snow on the ground for over 7 show years. So is that pond made of antifreeze? Dunno mate, sometimes that's how ice is. Plenty of people die in real life thinking ice is thick in the middle of winter.

This map description is the reason why I am really hating the fast travel this season and why I really disliked the second half of episode 6. Strategy goes out the window when ravens can deliver messages in a matter of seconds. The ice would have taken 3-4 days to freeze. More than ebough time for a real life raven to go that distance and a made up dragon fly it back. so 4 men in the middle of a blizzard, with no cover or fire for 4 days? okay, As someone that lives in Winnipeg. Wherever they are, it's not cold out. They were North of the wall, why wouldn't that stagnant water be frozen to the ground unless it's regularly +10c every day to thaw it? If it's cold enough to blizzard, it's cold enough to create several inches of ice in a single night. Actually, since the water doesn't move, you would have enough ice to walk on in only a few hours if it's as cold as we're lead to believe. Naw, ice takes a decent amount of time to freeze to hold that amount of weight. Has to be at least 8 inches thick. No matter how dumb the show looked due to pacing it was plausible.

Gradieus 08/22/17 2:19:38 PM #406	Kimbos_Egg posted... because its stupid. Nobody thought he would die, nor was he "reborn" from the ice. They already did that scene in the last series. He was brought back for a purpose. His purpose in that scene was to make sure the Wight got on the dragon and the dragon survive. He accomplished both by protecting the dragon and then warning Dany. That was a perfectly fine place for him to die and his first rebirth having purpose. But he comes back, as if told that wasn't his moment, come back and fight some more. You can say it's wishy washy but it's there all the same and can just as readily be interpreted that way.

People are over reacting. even after the long discussion earlier in the episode about who the sword belongs to, and how the pommels were switched? that shot was pretty deliberately framed and the focus switch wasn't coincidental. The prop's eye is translucent. It darkens when his hand falls behind it. Why can't it be both? No one is saying that the sword can blink. It simply represents that he's reborn from the ice.

Gradieus 08/22/17 2:01:52 AM #397	http://imgur.com/a/O8nhy Only thing I liked about this episode is that it shows the night king is a master strategist. We see he's at the same location when Bran checks up on him with his ravens as where Jon and co. end up stranded. So the night king baited him perfectly into that trap just to get a dragon to destroy the wall. That's some mighty fine planning.

The show spent seasons building up the mystery of the faceless ones, to have it reduced to a comically bad prop so Arya could be nasty to her sister mystical assassins become nothing more than criminals in rubber masks Well they've shown the faces dozens of times. I don't see why this is all of a sudden a big surprise.

Gradieus 08/20/17 10:53:43 PM #366	Oblivion_Hero posted... ~~Why did this Westeros Olympian motherf***ing javelin thrower not get the biggest baddest dragon that was on the ground?~~ Because of the element of surprise. He took the harder shot first because he knew he could make it since no one saw it coming. The Drogon shot was an easy one and only missed because Denearys times it perfectly and turned at the last second. This turn took Jorah by surprise hence why he almost fell. But if you look at the trajectory of the throw it was going to hit Drogon perfectly in the head. Perhaps he didn't think Denearys could control the dragon's movement. Also it's convenient for the main story, obviously. Night king having the weakest dragon is easier story writing than him having the strongest.

Also I'm surprised episode 6 has been officially named "Beyond the wall", which is an insanely boring name. The original name when it was leaked was "Death is the Enemy", which is a much better name imo, but whatever. A name is a name. I thought it was all for show and that Sansa would agree with Brienne that a Stark should go with her and nominate Arya. That way she leaves Sansa alone and Arya can go down to King's Landing and try and take Cersei off her list. But instead she just gets rid of Brienne for reasons.

Where was Sansa sending off to, was it a real event/request from Cersei or did Sansa make it up? Why is she getting rid of Brienne? Why are Arya dialog scenes always so weird/cringey? Also this is the first episode in the whole show that made me go "wtf is going on" like 6 times. Looked like those 6 guys could have killed the entire army of the dead by themselves. First of all, WHAT? What makes you think any one of those men could have killed the undead army by themselves? Have you even watched the show before? Did you watch the episode? They KILLED A DRAGON. There are like hundreds of thousands in the undead army. You literally think they could take hundreds of thousands of soldiers? 2. Were you even listening? Sansa is sending Brienne down to Kings Landing in her place, because Cersei is asking to have a meeting (maybe a possible treaty, although I doubt it). But yes, Sansa is being stupid in doing so. But that's where Brienne is going 1. yes I have seen every episode, yes I know the army is well over 100,000 soldiers. I was being rhetorical considering they were able to kill at least 100 without any effort. 2. I was listening but it seemed like Sansa was making it up considering she just had that discussion with LF. But I don't know if it was made up or not, hence why I asked. Sansa was definitely acting as if she was flustered but it seemed all for show.

He could ask her the same fucking question. She's using negotiation tactics 101. She wants him to bend the knee. He wants her to help him fight the night king. He told her he's desperate. He told her her army could be enough to beat the night king. Never negotiate from weakness. Jon played all his cards because he knows nothing about negotiating. She loses nothing by making him concede and bend the knee.

I can't imagine Tyrion would have told her to do that either. I think it might have been her own choice. Well Jon said don't use it to melt cities or castles. But yeah, hopefully it was her because I feel she doesn't decide enough on her own.

A ton of them died in the Watchers on the Wall but that's about the only one I mean main main characters. Like the top 30 characters of the show. Not Pip and other guy. I'd say Ygritte was the closest though.

I haven't liked Arya in a couple years but she great in this episode, and completely understandable how the fight went down. Arya has to be the smallest opponent Brienne has ever faced. And the quickest,l. She was not prepared and her deep but slow lunges do nothing to her. Also her sword is so tiny it just bounces around her big broadsword. It's what any dance master would have done. A bit similar to The mountain vs Oberyn They showed they were equals when both actually tried. Arya only won at the start because Brienne thought she was a 'proper lady'. And her slow lunges are what made Arya lose her sword from sheer power. While it's nice Arya has a training partner who can teach her new moves, as she learns from every teacher, the real student here is Littlefinger and she just gave him an eyeful. Arya's best advantage in combat is that she's seen as a kid playing make-believe. Now Littlefinger knows what she's capable of doing in combat.

I legit got tingles when she ~~flew into battle on her dragon~~ I imagine that Jamie isn't going to die here but I'm not sure how they can explain him not drowning considering he sank pretty deep into that water, is wearing full armor, and has a gold hand attached to his wrist. There's no way he could swim or be carried back up by one person. Musta been quite the rock formation too considering he was like 6 feet from the shore.

I don't for the simple fact they don't know dragon immunology. Qyburn would know not to do anything like that without research first. The results could make it hyper violent for all they know. The last of the dragons were said to be poisoned by the Maesters. I imagine there would still be texts about the poison of choice. And the Lannisters love their poison... We don't know the dose since weren't those small itty bitty dragons by the end of things Tyrion said in the show? Adding stuff like that to a show with 9 episodes remaining is ehh.

Excluding covered calls, unless you are using options to hedge portfolio risk, you might as well just go to vegas (or buy bitcoin). Maybe you should go back to school then. 200k in bitcoin is grade A moron. And putting $200k in a monthly derivative contract that will expire worthless in 3 weeks unless there is a massive upswing in the market is better? Give me a break. That is stupid on a normal day, but even worse in the currently overvalued climate. Why would you put all of 200k into monthly calls when the potential for return is far greater? Massive uptick? Since when is 1% massive? Spoken like someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. Also lmao at the 25% drop in bitcoin in a week.
