Title: Game of Thrones - Season 6 discussion
Post by: TeaLeaf on April 25, 2016, 08:09:21 AM
It aired last night in the US and will air in the at 9.00pm tonight.    

Remember to use the spoiler tags.    They take the form:

{spoiler=XXXXX}your_text_content_goes_here{/spoiler}

replace { with [
replace } with ]
replace XXXXX with a title for the spoiler

The tags don't work without a title, so you have to include one, but make sure it is not itself a spoiler!

Enjoy the program folks!

I've seen it.

As usual it's mostly build up for the rest of the season.  I'd wait for the next episode to come out, and watch them after each other if I were you.

[spoiler=stuff that spoils]Last scene was a bit shocking.  Definitely didn't want to see Melisandre's perfect body turning into a shrivelled old lady.  I guess she's gathering power? Perhaps for some snow juju..  Man.. that body..[/spoiler]

After watching 5 seasons in one go it's been a bit of a wait to get to 6 & it's gonna be weird to have to wait a week in between eps, but it's nice to be back in Westeros! bring on the tits & dragons!

Watched the 1st ep this morning before work, good stuff as usual.

Well, I'm sure I followed the spoiler guidelines.. just re-checked, and it fits with the first post.

Might be an application bug.

Iirc it's a Tapatalk thing, sorry.   The spoiler tags work in the background for the forum GUI, so as Tapatalk bypasses the usual GUI and just uses the content to display in its own GUI it doesn't understand what a spoiler tag is and therefore does not do anything with it.   So hopefully people will remember not to read this thread on Tapatalk!

Considering the series so far, the first episode almost felt like a filler. Kind of a gentle reminder of where we were in the last season, and setting up expectations for what is to come.

[spoiler=Spoiling everything]As for the ending of the episode. I have understood that she rarely sleeps at all, so it could suggest she needs to charge her powers for something big? It is clear that she is about to have some major reaction to what has happend to Snow. In her vision he was fighting at Winterfel, so I'm guessing she either somehow makes that possible or gives castle black a proper demonstration of her powers in a most violent way. I don't see her walking calmly away from this.[/spoiler]

It's standard episode one stuff, recap the major plot lines, catch up and update on  last season's cliff hangars and set the first ground work for the mid-season and end of season thrillers.

My worry is that they won't have enough time int he remaining episodes to complete all of the story lines unless they make rapid progress in the next 9 episodes and then race through the last two series (which have been mentioned as being only 13 episodes total, split between the last two series).

Agreed. Just look at what happend to Caprica season 2. Or should I say Season 1 episode 18, as they compacted an entire season into 1 episode.

I was actually surprised they pulled it off so well.

[spoiler=What Willis was talkin'bout]Impressive acting and definitely one of the more intense emotional peaks in the series. Once you realize that Bran basically ruined Willis for life. The only truly pure soul in the series, and going out as a hero. Instantly becoming one of my favorite characters.[/spoiler]

I want this.

Door Stop (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/459378475/hodor-hold-the-door-tribute-doorstop) (mildly spoiler-like)

Sadly the Kickstarter campaign was cancelled by HBO who claim to already have a product in production....

Ian McShane always enhances any drama he acts on, from Lovejoy to the present day, awesome.
