you could delete Finn from the plot entirely, give his story to dameron, and have a better movie. actor notwithstanding his character was just in the way

While I get where you're coming from and you defineltly raised some valid points I feel like JJ and the writers did a good job with Finn. I didn't really notice any stereotypes and I wouldn't say he was the comic relief, and I do feel as if he was the playing second fiddle behind Rey.
It's a GoT thread, so I'll let it go, but as the last poster said, he brought nothing to the table. He was the definition of a token character. Plenty of black actors could have played Poe, the lead or a much better, more well thought out character. If they'd done that, a lot of people who actually ARE fricking racist would have changed their mind and felt differently, like I'm sure many do in regard to Morpheus, Blade and other greats. It's as though they were trying to piss people off.

And lose the green tentacle monster. Seriously. WTF was that?

As for Sam, I agree that there won't be a NW anymore. There likely won't be a lot of things anymore, including Sam (though I think he lives because he's basically young GRRM), so we'll have to wait and see.

I can't wait for a Davos and Dany scene. I'm guessing Davos and Brienne are going to be part of a peace envoy to negotiate on behalf of the Starks. Davos may be one of the few people that will be able to talk to Dany in such a way to gain her respect (like he did with Lady Mormont). I can't wait to hear him maneuver the conversation. Hopefully Tyrion is there as well. I'd really love to hear and Davos and Tyrion conversation.

I also read where Jon and Theon will meet somewhere south (not in the North). So I'm guessing Davos and Brienne will be the initial envoy to prep the way for Jon to make his way to meet Dany.

Yeah, don't know why there'd be two envoys. Theon seems to be the obvious choice for Dany to send to Jon. I mean he saved Sansa, they know he didn't kill his brothers, and he was brutally tortured by Ramsay. Don't know what he'd have to fear.

I do want a Theon and Jon reunion in both the show and the books though.

I read that as well.

I honestly have no clue where the story this season is going to lead, but I'm looking forward to it. I was able to predict a lot of last season's events a lot better than what will happen this season.

My prediction right now is the first half of the season will be Dany vs Cersei & Euron; and Jon/Sansa vs LF and Jon either trying to convince the North about the White Walkers, or at least trying to prep the North for the coming battle. I think when Jon hears that Dany has waged war on Cersei with 3 dragons, he'll try to convince the Northern lords and Sansa that they need to make a treaty with her because he needs her dragons and army for the war to come (and this may be the crack LF tries to exploit)

Then the second half will be Jon and Dany coming together. I think the season will end with the Wall coming down, and Dany and Jon uniting.

Since this is Game of Thrones there will probably be some crazy twists, so it may not go down exactly like that, but I think that could be the general direction of next season. That's just my guess.

I hope Jon gives the Umber's lands to the Wildlings. They deserve it.

How big is the Lannister army? 30,000? They are now without allies, though. It will be funny if Cersai has sent them against the North when Dany lands.

I'd imagine it's smaller than that now. They had heavy casualties during the War of the Five Kings. The Tyrells and Freys are gone. Only the Westerlands serve them, so they're screwed.

I think Cersei will align with Euron, so it will be the Lannisters and the Iron Islands against Dany, the Tyrells, the Martells, and the few Greyjoys that sided with Theon & Yara.

But I think something crazy will happen where Dany's forces will take massive loses. Either Euron's fleet of a 1000 ships will decimate them before they reach Westeros, or there will be a sneak attack shortly after Dany's forces land that they aren't expecting. But I think even if that happens, Dany's forces will still be way too much for Cersei, which will lead her to go "Mad King", and probably force Jamie to kill her before she burns down King's Landing.

Davos and Tyrion would make for great conversation.

Yes. JJ was very proud of himself for being all progressive n shite by casting a black man. Did he make him a cool Jedi? No. Did he make him the "greatest pilot in the galaxy" like Izak? No. Did he make him a legendary, sinister villain, or a sage, unforgettable presence like Morpheus?

No. He made him the plucky comic relief, who is always running scared and spouts stereotypical "black-isms" like "droid, please." shite, I half expected him to yell, "Aww, feets don't fail me nah!!"

What a triumph.




Look you don't like black people and you don't like women. You will reply you do but then you make this same silly fricking post 100 times a year. We get it, we fricking get it Blueboy only wants to see movies with white people and male leads. frick. Don't you get that there is something wrong with you mentally to fee this way?

Movie comes out with a female lead, you shite on it. Movie has a black lead and you shite on it. It could be Denel or Idris, no mater to you. You racist piece of shite.

I mean, wtf? I hope D&D don't listen to this dumbass. Did he want them to make Jon Snow black or something? Yeah, that would make sense.



What seems silly to me is that he said they have minority characters, so they should just shift the focus towards them. Is he suggesting the show dedicate a lot more time to Grey Worm and Missandei?

I've always hoped she is trying to intimidate Jon and everyone with the dragons, and Jon walks up and those frickers bow to him. At least be social like they were with Tyrion. No one got to see how they were with Tyrion either.

They are definitely expecting Euron to arrive soon. Theon and Yarra know that threat is coming, sooner or later.

I do agree that they will align with Cersei, though, and possibly use the dragon horn to take control of Dany's dragons.
