Nextmanup Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I thought the first episode was a little slow and boring, but perhaps necessary as everything gets set up for the big finale. The dragon riding scene was lousy and not in keeping with the books. I also thought Jon Snow learning his true lineage was done in a hasty manner; should have been done in a more substantive way. I did enjoy the prostitute scene though; there used to be much more of that type of thing in the early seasons of the show.
Turk71 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Arya gave Gendry a weapon design that looked like a launchable dragon glass spear, I think that will be significant at some point. My guess is it brings down the dead dragon or the Night King. Edited April 15, 2019 by Turk71 1

I was thinking the analogy might be more like a single shot pistol for very close range, not a siege engine type projectile, but I'm really not sure one way or the other.

I didn't get a great look at it like this still picture. Definitely looks like more than just a simple spear projectile. I am not sure what it is but I have a strong feeling it will play a significant part.

A spear or lance isn't Arya's style. Arya's stealthy She's "lurking about" as Sansa said last night.

They did advance some a few threads Theon rescuing Yara, Sam telling Jon of his true lineage, and the re-union of most of the major players. But there weren't any plot twists or new developments other than Bronn's new task and Cersei giving it up to Euron The dragon riding scene was cheesy. Oh hey, I can ride a dragon too. And now we're somewhere I used to go as a boy. Now lets make out in front of your pets.

I haven't (and don't plan to) read the books but my understanding is that GOT diverged from the books a good long time ago...and why does it matter? 1

They didn't diverge from the books as much as simplified and moved beyond them as GRRM likes to take his sweet time writing. The show producers and writers were given rough drafts of the final book and told by GRRM how it ends so I'm not worried about Game of Thrones going full "Lost" on us.

May Day 10 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 The books are nowhere near where they are now. I dont understand how that scene was a divergence. Dany and Snow are still on different continents in the books.

I can see it as something like a devise to launch spearheads. Her ans Sansa did have a conversation about her target practice with a bow and arrow

But, you just said you did.? i enjoyed last night, but no action so they really have to pack it in so that we get some closure.
Rockpile233 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I was thinking last night it’s some sort of assasination tool she can conceal. I would assume it’s meant for Cersei, but Gendry was forging all dragonglass weapons.
