What is the rumor mentioned ? Any thoughts ?

Boring:
This entire Arya and faceless men stroyline is so underwhelming, What was actually achieved here? and dont tell me fighting in the dark bullshitt..

Boring:
Bad episode writing all around, this season has suffered because it doesnt have the books as source material..

Nihilist:
You are probably right, and maybe I should manage my expectations a bit better.

But it's a bit annoying to see how poorly that Arya storyline was ended. That was resolved very very poorly.


Like you say though, it's not that probably easy for the writers...

siempere:
Her wounds shouldn't have healed so easily.....and since she's so good blindfolded why couldn't she land meaningful blows when she was blind fighting with d Waif.... A very weak Season....simple..I waited a year plus just to watch episode 9&10.....datz...if they can even deliver sef....

Nihilist:


Cleganebowl my pockmarked azz.

Reddit conspirators and their Nairaland counterparts- in your face!

Gloat over.

That Arya thing is just the biggest slap in face to viewers. You mean Arya who suffered multiple stab wounds including thar particular twisted blade finisher, could survive long enough to be treated by.....an actress?

And despite being stabbed multiple times in the torso, she was able to eat immediately after being stitched up?

They should have just said she was treated with magic so that there wouldn't be any questions.

But as things stand, the writers are demanding even greater levels of suspension of my beliefs.

Considering how fantastic previous seasons were, this season has been a letdown in comparison in my opinion.

Akanniade:
If not for the face hanging on the wall, thats another 3 pages of 'she killed her/ she didnt kill her'.

Gbola5:
Jon Snow is no coward. He swore a vow.

Nicolars:
Wow , wtf......

What scene was this ??

Kaycee7:
Why did Yara have to be lesbian? It's too stereotypical for my liking. So a strong female leader can't be straight?

Santino1:
Exactly. If not for anything else, I'd support Jon Snow just to exact revenge for my kinsmen who were betrayed and murdered by the Boltons. That's more in line with normal human behaviour.

Vickyydera:
we watch it like you but we pay ardent attention.

Nihilist:
I admire your knowledge of the asoiaf universe.

Vickyydera:
I pay much attention in that movie, rewatch that scene and you will see how his face changed into a serious man face. I pick details like mad lolz. my school is strike,so I get time.

Gbola5:
It never said, but because Rhoynar was fomerly not in the title, one would assume the Dornish were Andals. With Rhoynar now in the title, one still wouldn't know the Dornish were Rhoynar as it was never addressed. So show-wise, one has to question the idea that the Dornish are Rhoynar.

Gbola5:
Yeah, the shows Northern Honor is shiit.

Gbola5:
Yeah, the shows Northern Honor is shiit.

Santino1:
I find it weird that Robett Glover (and other lords in the north) refused to help Jon and Sansa when they need them the most. Makes you wonder what the whole "the north always remember" bullcrap is all about.

oyetpel:
Maybe, we didn't know how Brienne killed him, they didn't show it.

Jon Snow turned to Melisandre. "What sorcery
is this?"
"Call it what you will. Glamor, seeming,
illusion. R'hllor is Lord of Light, Jon Snow,
and it is given to his servants to weave with
it, as others weave with thread.
Mance Rayder chuckled. "I had my doubts as
well, Snow, but why not let her try? It was
that, or let Stannis roast me."
"The bones help." said Melisandre. "The bones
remember. The strongest glamors are built of
such things. A dead man's boots, a hank of
hair, a bag of fingerbones. With whispered
words and prayer, a man's shadow can be
drawn forth from such and draped about
another like a cloak. The wearer's essence
does not change, only his seeming."

“The spell is made of shadow and
suggestion. Men see what they expect
to see. The bones are part of that.”
Was I wrong to spare this one? “If the
glamor fails, they will kill you.”

While this is talking about the faith of R'hllor it is similar to that of the faith of the Many Faced God. They use glamours in addition to wearing a mask.

Then came a tug and a soft rustling as
the new face was pulled down over the
old. The leather scraped across her
brow, dry and stiff, but as her blood
soaked into it, it softened and turned
supple. Her cheeks grew warm, flushed.
She could feel her heart fluttering
beneath her breast, and for one long
moment she could not catch her
breath. Hands closed around her
throat, hard as stone, choking her. Her
own hands shot up to claw at the arms
of her attacker, but there was no one
there. A terrible sense of fear filled her,
and she heard a noise, a hideous
crunching noise, accompanied by
blinding pain. A face floated in front of
her, fat, bearded, brutal, his mouth
twisted with rage.

“Mummers change their faces with
artifice,” the kindly man was saying,
“and sorcerers use glamors, weaving
light and shadow and desire to make
illusions that trick the eye. These arts
you shall learn, but what we do here
goes deeper. Wise men can see
through artifice, and glamors dissolve
before sharp eyes, but the face you are
about to don will be as true and solid
as that face you were born with.”

oyetpel:
Jaqen is taller than Arya. I thought the Faceless men only shape shift, or do they body shift too?

Nihilist:
I've already explained myself in the last paragraph. He was portrayed as being killed in action...yet didn't die. The implication of this to me is that anybody that doesn't die on screen could in theory still be alive...and it's that refusal to fully commit to a character's death that is my main gripe.

Theoretically, Stanis Baratheon could still be alive as we never saw him actually die. Hodor too. That's what seems cheap to me especially when compared to other characters who were emphatically killed on screen with no remorse.

Nihilist:
That is irrelevant to the discussion. Realism is not my complaint. This is a show that features dragons and sorcerers,faceless men and assasins made of smoke. At least two people have actually died and been brought back to life, so the fact that Sandor unrealistically survived his injuries is not a big deal to me.



This is just rude coming from a person I don't actually know. Considering how much time is compressed on the show, the mere fact that Reek began to even look like he could once again become Theon Greyjoy, simply after some words of encouragement and and a cup of Gulder is very irritating to me.

This is a guy whose phallus was removed, who slept in a dingy kennel, who actually refused to be rescued by his sister, and who actually even gave up his legitimate claim to the ironborn throne. It doesn't make sense to me that such a person should suddenly be able to find his inner conviction at the bottom of cup of ale.

That is drama for dramatic effect. Expect Theon to have an underserved big moment in the nearest future.



Oh please!

It was not 'already known that the hound wasn't dead'. He was never explicitly pronounced alive either in the book or in the show.

Cleaganebowl as a theory doesn't even make sense with what has happened on the Show. The latest septon was murdered by the Brotherhood without Banners.Even If we assume that the Hound is on his way to take revenge, his path does not directly take him in conflict with the Lannisters or Cersei to be particular, as the BwB are established enemies of the Starks on the show!(And that does not even take into account for the ressurected Catelyn Stark as their new leader)

Both brothers could very well meet and fight in a final showdown with everybody fighting everybody, but it would make no sense given the current story so far, other than to have the 2 brothers fight for dramatic effect.



It is cheap because he was portrayed to have died. GoT is generally gripping due to it's uncompromising approach to dispensing big characters with finality. Correct me if I'm wrong, but season 6 and the ending of S5 are the two seasons where the so called 'dead' are no longer dying anymore - The mountain, Jon Snow,and now The Hound. That's just cheap and provides an easy excuse to pull out a previously dead character to resolve a sticky plotline.

I won't be surpised if Hodor rocks up next week, all cured, and now with some whitewalker magic. Rubbish,

Nihilist:
The show is just taking the piss now.

Too many cheap tricks and 'get out of jail free ' cards.

Bringing back the hound just seemed cheap. Making him born again is even more annoying.

Theon has spent the last few years being broken by Ramsay. All of that bad work seems to be undone by just one cup of Stout.

And how the hell is Arya still alive? Multiple stab wounds, they even twisted the blade inside, and she still managed to avoid drowning and is still roaming the street.

I think we're beginning to see the TV-lisation of the plot. Got is becoming a soap opera.

A man said said 17gb
A man never said 17mb
A man can get all the seasons for 1000 naira
A man feel hopeless because A man thought he can get it less
A man bought the 17gb from Airtel
A man download the drama
A man press play
A man saw video corrupt
A man fainted

That's the end of a man

Nicolars:
Lolz oga oo,,,, u'r so much into the book
In the movie, the nightsking is different from the WW and also different from wights


The nightsking is one of those that sit on the horse but doesn't have hairs while the WW have hairs, the wights are those dead creatures

1. Nightsking
2. Wights
3. Whitewalker

Geist:
Bro you're the one mixing it up. The nights king was not created by the children of the forest. The children of the forest created the first WW not the nights king. They are two different persons in the books. The show is yet to introduce the nights kings in its plot.
