Game of Thrones thread -

Good opening....not sure why they wasted soooo much time on Sam....but in next week previews I saw a dire wolf that wasn't Ghost!!!

My wife said the same thing about Sam. I think him finding the passage about the dragonglass underneath Dragonstone is just the start. I think Sam is going to find more major intel that has huge implications in the battles to come.
 
Executive Producer is different to actual producer though. EP is basically just the finance with a title.
Nope, not in this case.

Film - EP = financing or other support (James Cameron as the EP of a small sci-fi film for example).
TV - EP = showrunner. They oftentimes write the shows and give it direction. The showrunner(s) tell the producers what to do.
 
Some random thoughts.

Bad enough I almost tossed up the spaghetti & meatballs while Sam was cleaning the shitters and when he had to hump a 150lb diseased liver across the room; acid reflex was assured when Jorah Mormont's scaly arm came shooting out the hole in the door. This is where he goes for the cure?

Not sure I'm 100% onboard with the kinder, gentler Hound.

I enjoyed watching Urine Greyjoy continue to make an obnoxious cunt of himself antagonizing the shit out of Jaime, because I know when the end comes for Urine, it will be worth the wait.

Arya? Fuck yeah. Anytime there's a cold open on GOT, you know something legendary is about to happen. (But those soldiers she's hooked up with and their suspiciously good manners...that portends to me that some really fucked up shit is about to happen.)
 
A couple other predictions after episode 1, and I am not taking credit for being the originator of these thoughts, but they make sense.

- Cersei has lost all her children now, and has no reason to maintain any semblance of humanity. She becomes consumed with revenge against the sand snakes, the surviving Starks, and Highgarden. Jaime eventually gets sick of her shit and leaves to go be a field marshall in the North against the Whitewalker Army. He recognizes that any revenge is meaningless if the Night King isn't stopped.

-Euron brings Cersei the heads, or live bodies, of the Sand Snakes. She marries him, then kills him and takes all his ships.

Agreed, but there is only what, like 13 or so episodes left?

 
My major prediction after that episode:

- Sansa happily lets Jon lead an expedition to Eastwatch By The Sea to tackle the Night King, after the Brotherhood Without Banners arrive with a warning of the visions they've seen, in the hope he dies and she can take Winterfell. He doesn't die but faces a long fight back to Winterfell with most of the Brotherhood Without Banners meeting a glorious death in battle in the process.

- Littlefinger sees this as his mind games having worked and makes his move on Sansa, which results in her very quickly telling him to boil his head.

- Littlefinger retreats with his men and declares for the Lannisters and cuts Jon Snow and Co. off from the South, leaving the North to face the Night King and his merry men on their own.

- Towards the end of the series, the Night King sends an army of Wights to Eastwatch By The Sea as a deception plan, while he launches an attack on the Wall which brings it down.

- Jon manages to make his way to Dragonstone and begs Dany for dragonglass, with his case helped by the newly arrived Melisandre. Dany gets a whiff of dragon off him, sexual tension follows and she offers him aid.

- They return to the North to do battle, with Jon possibly riding one of the dragons given his Targ lineage and at some stage, one of Danys dragons will be killed and the Night King will bring it back as an undead bastard of a dragon. Season end.

And so the North was lost...
 
Also we really don't know how much time has passed. Other than the aging of the actors how much time has really passed since this started?
