When they bring that undead to Cersei, Sir Gregor will try to fuck it.
Bets on Cersei trying to make an alliance with the Night King??
Fan theory potential spoiler:
You mean Bran Stark?
So believe this is true
Itās the only theory that works for him really, isnāt it?
It would also be totally cool.
How does that theory go? Havenāt really heard it in detail before
Edit: also @Bl1nk when strangepass quoted my reply and answered with spoiler tags, the value in the spoiler tags was shown in the email alert I got thus rendering them useless. Just a small point and no damage done since Iām caught up but just thought Iād point it out!
Sorry @Cristo if I put a link to the theory in spoilers it shows up.
Just type it into google, easy enough to find.
Canāt visit this thread mate. Iāve yet to start this season!! Answering this quote is me risking so many spoilers haha. Youāre on your own here!!
I thought the dead stood around Jon and Co. Because they thought the āmoatā around them was still a moat, and not frozen (although them waiting for a time again, allowed it to freeze over again) until heavy handed Hound screwed his second throw, hence them cottening on to this. Proceeding to the fight scene?
he got the episode title wrong though
Really? I didnāt even notice a moat??? Even if true itās a bit weird, youād think the undead who come from the winter, would recognise ice. Perhaps they thought it would break beneath their feet, but Iād still expect them to be a better judge of their own environment.
Personally I assumed they had been commanded to wait, but of course that canāt be true because that skeleton marched forward on his own initiative. Maybe he broke rank lol.
One thing that I would have liked more time for is the interaction between characters who have never met before, that to me is as much a payoff as some of these fantastic action sequences and I hope some time is given over next year to that. For example Iād love to see Arya and Dany in the same scene.
[spoiler] Thatās true. The problem i identified though wasnāt that they waited in circle for so long but that 7 men held them off for so long once they attacked them. Its pretty unrealistic that virtually at any point in time each of our heroes is fighting only one undead, two tops. I mean there are thousands around, the rest just moo in the background while I watch a 60 second and fight scene between one human and one undead.
Regarding Cerseiās support, I think their plan is to request a truce so that she doesnāt occupy Dragonstone or reinforce while they fight the undead. You canāt really go on war in midst of winter against such strong enemy and leave Cersei be then come back for her significantly weakened from fighting the undead. Obviously you either have to fight her beforehand which also weakens you or you have her join your cause. [/spoiler]
Didnāt you see the ice break and plenty of undead go down in the water as they surrounded Snow and Co ? Thatās the reason they stopped. Then obviously a lot of time passed and the ice layer grew tick and strong which they realized once that soldier marched forward.
The only way to justify that stuff is NK doesnāt want to kill anyone or at least doesnāt want to kill Jon, he was just toying with them to get his dragon. They showed him throwing spears into flying dragons ffs, he could have done the same into Jonās (or anyoneās) face while he was standing still. He and his generals made absolutely no attempt to kill anyone except that one that Jon ambushed. Itās also a bit of a nonsense that they all canāt swim since some are basically still humans and the white walkers are clearly as able bodied as any man. So Iām hoping the NK isnāt 100% evil, just misunderstood, like Mance Rayder who was supposedly the enemy of civilisation. After all, if you look at what the NK has actually done, is it any worse than what Tywin, Cersei etc. have done for power? Or even Dany? Building an army to take over, massacring opposing armies in the meantime? And theyāre doing something with those swirly symbols, maybe something religious? Weāve already seen religious people burn children and make sacrifices, so maybe theyāre no more evil than evil humans? I wish theyād revealed more backstory this season I donāt like the convenient idea that itās just this zombie horde with no purpose other than to kill people.
Every theory I read about the others is that they definitely arenāt 100% evil. Itās very well known GRRM hates the traditional Good v Evil narrative.
I donāt know if it is different in the books, or Iām biased, but I donāt see how evil and the Starks go together.
Everyone was doing it. I just wanted to be popular.
Oh great, @Dr_Strangepass is back and being a cunt again
Edit: just to be clear, Iām only kidding, Iāve got hundreds of criticisms if this season but am trying to just go with the flow
