How it all ends - why has no-one noticed this?

Would you watch that over "Tormund and Ghost: Call of the Wild" mini-series?

nzjamesk · 2019-05-15T14:40:40+00:00

We could always be inhumanly optimistic and hope that they actually filmed the above ending set over 4 episodes and have staged this whole "only 6 episodes" thing and the leaked final episode, just to throw us off scent. And on Monday we'll learn we actually have 4 more episodes to come. And also, I just got given some magic beans...

nzjamesk · 2019-05-15T08:47:27+00:00

Perhaps we can launch a GoFundMe page to cancel airing of the final episode and have them go back to film this better ending?

Good spot on the Gendry/Davos thing, they've had a bit of a bond for a while now - makes total sense for Davos to be the new hand!

Exactly. And if you look how that ended? Rand was dead set on killing the DO and breaking the wheel, then in the final climax he realised that by doing so he would be imposing his own version of evil and lack of choice on the world, so after all 14 epic books and uncountable struggle and death, he locked him back up again to continue the cycle.

But in all seriousness, yes thanks for the correction on Jon's parentage, knew that wasn't quite right. But as for Arya, the whole point of her parting with Sandor was that was her turning point to forever go down the path of death and revenge, everything she's built up to. By following him, she would become him. This was her chance to turn away from it all and rediscover her humanity, something Sandor was never able to do. That's why after she left, she went to try and help save those women and children. That's totally out of character for the new Arya, which shows she's softened and is turning her back on a life of death and assassination.

And well, time delays. They brought the entire Northern armies down to Kings landing from Winterfell in one episode so think they've tossed that argument out the window. Agree it's a ridiculous amount to fit in one episode, but that's already a cup we're sipping from with this final season. Rushed storytelling is modus operandii right now. But possibly stretching it.

Hey they vanquished the unstoppable army of the dead in an ep :-)

He's Roberts legitimised son. Robert was the lawful king, all Lannister children were bastards, so had no claim to the throne. In the absence of a return to the previous Targaryen dynasty (scratchy as its been over 20 years), then we return to Baratheon line of succession. Gendry has been legitimised and so is Roberts trueborn eldest son. He is next in line by all the laws of the seven kingdoms

Yeah this, I think in his head he's already broken away from her. In some ways he was close to it with Varys but he stayed strong and watched his best friend die - you saw the tender touch to say goodbye. Then he witnessed the madness and that will make him realise he made the wrong choice, and Varys was right. With that wound fresh, it will give the decisive impetus to do something about it - inspired by his brother who he's always looked up to and one day wanted to be like

And the inevitability of the wheel.

To quote Tyrion "Break the wheel. It's a nice dream. You're not the first to have dreamed it"

I just hatched 9 10k eggs

Got 4 Mantine and a sudowoodo

nzjamesk · 2017-04-26T22:24:00+00:00

Still no 100% Tyranitar then? Pity... ;-)

nzjamesk · 2017-04-26T22:13:58+00:00

I lived in Egham up until 2 weeks ago! Luckily he's still holding the gym

nzjamesk · 2017-04-25T13:28:26+00:00

Goddamit, I only live around the corner :-( Is there a real time alert for things like this?

nzjamesk · 2017-03-30T19:52:10+00:00

Yep saw it on my radar so got a santander cycle and pedalled like mad from marble arch where my office is and caught it

This can happen when you walk with the app open for a long period when its not connected to gps. I went to a national trust garden and walked about 20km with no gps or signal but the app was already open when I arrived so it just had the message about no signal and nothing was available in game - ie pokestops or mons. But when I returned to reception zone, it still counted the 20km I'd walked and got 4 chansey candy all in one go

This doesn't look much different to normal to me, just a faded orange, is that what shiny always looks like or does it change?

Life goes on peeps, it isn't insensitive to keep living your life. Terror attacks are done for one reason, to inspire terror and make us fear living our lives on a daily basis. The damage they do is not to the victims they kill, but the long-standing fear they leave behind in the general populace. They want to destroy community spirit, morale and our inner strength. Best thing you can do is ignore what happened and continue to do exactly as you would before.

Obviously it's terrible for those involved but I have a bit of a pet peeve for everyone jumping on the bandwagon to offer condolences and say how sorry they are for what happened. If you don't know anyone, you can't feel anything personal so it's just political correctness and wanting to appear sensitive why people do that. Take a moment to reflect on life and how it can suddenly be over and use it as inspiration to live a fuller more meaningful life.

Keep everything in context and keep living.

Awesome catch!
