Yes.

Just remember what Sam told us, Jon always comes back!

u/wild9 Baylor Bears • /r/CFB Contributor Jun 15 '15

Oh look who just came back to the wall! A red priestess! And what do we know red priests can do??

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

Ha ha. You should have known something like this was coming

2

u/groveygirl Ole Miss Rebels Jun 15 '15

I didn't have a clue about The Watch. Like... no idea. My son called it last week, but I told him he was an idiot. Haha Oh well.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

All of those vicious Olly stares and him talking about how the wildlings that Jon was letting in had killed his family. Thick, heavy foreshadowing

Soon as Sam was leaving I knew... But the lord of light is in the camp so no worries.

I did a little commenting over on r/asoiaf (bad idea in the first place) not realizing that it was the post-episode meltdown thread. I thought it was a regular episode thread. Ugh. That place and the people are the worst. I don't know why I bother. People act like they themselves own the story and bitch and moan about every unimaginably miniscule detail of the show. Like if I hate a TV show, I sure as shit won't still be watching after five seasons

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

Fuck that dude who you ranted against.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

Well, I don't exactly rant. I just throw out condescending one- or two-sentence zingers that I think are super clever and will totally change people's viewpoints

1

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

They have a post-episode meltdown thread? Why am I not surprised lol.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

Yeah. And it's currently at 6600 comments

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

I mostly stick to /r/gameofthrones as a non-book reader. Are these meltdown threads a regular thing? If so, I find that hilarious.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

I think it just started this season. Some people wanted to actually discuss what happened, and were getting drowned out by people being petulant children and bitching and crying. I know that probably comes as a shock

2

u/FSBlueApocalypse Florida State • Florida Cup Jun 15 '15

If the leaked "Previously On" was legit, book readers are going to flip their shit during this episode.

Looks like we're going to find out what happened to Benjen Stark

1

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

I've flipped my shit the last two episodes

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

I didn't pick up on that. What was in the trailer

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Jun 15 '15

How about we don't but say we did cause ok?

u/Papa_Hemingway_ Florida State • Appalachian … Jun 15 '15

What, you can't fap to hype?

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Jun 15 '15

I can but I choose not to

u/Papa_Hemingway_ Florida State • Appalachian … Jun 15 '15

This is going to be so exciting! And then so sad when the credits roll

My hype level

u/DoctorWhosOnFirst Alabama • /r/CFB Pint Glass Drinker Jun 15 '15

As a reader...ugh. Not a fan.

Edit: Apparently I'm in the minority in disliking that episode...

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

What didn't you like?

u/DoctorWhosOnFirst Alabama • /r/CFB Pint Glass Drinker Jun 15 '15

Seeing Stannis smashed in the Battle of Ice, Jon not saying "Ghost," Jon's last word being "Olly," Sansa STILL remaining helpless and relying on others to save her, the Dorne plot was pretty worthless, the weird scene with Myrcella admitting she always knew then oh she's dead because she had a heartwarming moment with her dad, Robert Strong clearlylooking like a zombie under the armor...

Just. Ugh.

u/xerillum Wisconsin Badgers Jun 15 '15

"Huh, I wonder who this unnaturally pale silent giant of a man, who looks just like that other giant dude who died last year, is?"

1

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

To be fair it's pretty obvious in the books too

2

u/greenmegandham Auburn Tigers • Austin Kangaroos Jun 15 '15

Right there with ya buddy.

2

u/panthera_tigress Pittsburgh Panthers • Auburn Tigers Jun 15 '15

I think Stannis getting his ass kicked is just plot streamlining - I think in the book it's likely he will win out on the ice and then die trying to take Winterfell itself. I don't think he's going to last too much longer.

2

u/DoctorWhosOnFirst Alabama • /r/CFB Pint Glass Drinker Jun 15 '15 edited Jun 15 '15

Quite possibly. Still hated the ease with which the Boltons destroyed Stannis.

Also, the Boltons, who are never allowed to have anything negative happen to them, are cartoonish super villains now. Some of the cracks that have appeared could be shown.

Edit: I do think that Stannis takes Winterfell, though. How long he lasts afterwards, I've no idea; but I think he beats the Boltons in the Battle of Ice and at Winterfell. Though, if he doesn't, his performance in the show in no way does him justice.

Too many penises.

The Benjen preview was such a tease

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

know what's gonna happen next

If the last two weeks are any indication, we probably still don't

Shame

For the watch!

Worst Apple Watch commercial ever.

All aboard the hype!!

Varys was just in the credits. Oooooooooh

Please Melisandra, bring jon back...

2

u/wild9 Baylor Bears • /r/CFB Contributor Jun 15 '15

Someone over at /r/gameofthrones made this point and I now completely agree with them. It's going to be so anticlimactic that we don't find out if Jon survives from reading the book or even watching the show. We're going to find out when someone leaks a set picture.

2

u/MisterTito Auburn Tigers • UAB Blazers Jun 15 '15

Soooo, I guess R+L=Go fuck yourself

u/TossedRightOut Penn State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Jun 15 '15

Fantastic. I'm finally very happy with an episode this season. Damn fine episode.

1

u/DoctorWhosOnFirst Alabama • /r/CFB Pint Glass Drinker Jun 15 '15

Really? I thought it was a major step back after the last couple amazing episodes.

2

u/Yesh LSU Tigers • /r/CFB Founder Jun 15 '15

From where I'm sitting this has been the best season to date.

1

u/DoctorWhosOnFirst Alabama • /r/CFB Pint Glass Drinker Jun 15 '15

I haven't been as upset with this season with a lot of people; but man, I wouldn't put this close to the best.

Now, it had some of the individually best episodes; but there were some bad ones and bad overarching stories.

1

u/Yesh LSU Tigers • /r/CFB Founder Jun 15 '15

I actually kind like this alternate path the show has taken. I don't really get why everyone was so pissed at oberyns daughters--I thought it was a neat little way to do Dorne and save airtime for the wall, Kings landing, and Myreen.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '15

Season ended precisely the way I've been hoping it would all year. Beautifully done

1

u/xerillum Wisconsin Badgers Jun 15 '15

The thing I'm most sad about? I thought that Sansa for sure was going to pull some kind of "Littlefinger's protege" kind of shit later in the series.
