Well, D&D basically destroyed their own careers doing it, so that's some small comfort. They still do things, but I don't think they'll ever be entrusted with that big a project ever again.

I have to admit that I do always take some small joy in that.

If you read the post-Mortem one (or both of them) went to the Caribbean and turned off their phones thinking the backlash would be mild but palatable.

When they got back, everybody hated them and Disney fired them from Star Wars and they lost their other HBO show.

The problem is Bran being King is the ending GRRM gave D&D. He just doesn’t know how to get there.

Yep, Bran is the first chapter in the first book, and likely will be the last chapter of the last book - written by someone else because GRRM will be dead.

Seems as reasonable an answer as any.


Of course, why tote around that much chain unless the Night King somehow knew he'd go ice fishing for Viserion.

Out of all the idiots in all the idiot worlds, whoever came up with that being how he dies is the biggest idiot. If you're going to have Arya kill him, at least make it more believable. The night king was 10 steps ahead of everyone, yet he couldn't see she was going to drop the dagger to her other free hand and stab him.

Did we ever get the backstory on where the Walkers got those heavy arse chains?
Night King needed to prove to Cersei that the undead could carry chains when they got to King's Landing and has been gathering them the whole time. Duh!

As others have said, it's the most ridiculous set-up, dumb and dumber couldn't write a worse WTF is going on here. Let's go get a wight to show Cercei... dumb... we could all talk about this forever. So fricking stupid.

And we get no new long night. No prince who was promised. Just girl power stopping the whole thing with a sleight of hand gimmick. " bUt ThEy FoReShAdoWeD wItH BrIeNnE"

Id have had bran teach jon who he was, they take kings landing, and jons magic spunk help create the real prince who was promised.

Jons resurrected crude oil. Cures scabies, rabies, and makes cursed bitches have babies.

I was informing this board GOT had fallen off in season 5 and got bad in season 6. Higher production values and bam bam pow pow fights + fan service kept normies baited.

If they could not swim, how did the chain get attached to Viserion? And sticking with plot holes, why didn't the Night King just raise Viserion from the dead while the dragon was still under water and not have to do the whole chain pull?

There are those here that defended the plan for the Battle of Winterfell.

Ways to defeat the undead: dragon glass, valerian steel, FIRE.

Let's not stand behind trenches of fire and stab them with dragon glass. Let's use our light cavalry charge into the night at them and let our dead bodies provide more soldiers for the night king.

I agree. Strategy was dumb as shite. But I thought it looked cool.

This part doesn’t bother me so much. They can’t swim but that doesn’t mean the NK wouldn’t send a dozen of them down there with a chain to tie up the dragon and then just leave the wights there. A lot of things bother me about the season but that one not so much.
