That chilling final scene ? Great story telling. Couldn't help wondering where that Ice Lord conjured up 400m of high grade steel chain link from within the icy wastelands. Perhaps screwfix has a branch north of the wall.

Same day delivery imo... but not sure how he paid

TBF, although it was a good episode, the outcome was entirely predictable.

The wildlings have used chains before.

I'm not having that epsiode, no sirree. Utterly unrealistic. Look, if you're fannying around in sub-zero temperatures, no food or sleep for days, then you fight a battle, if you go swimming in a frozen lake, crawl out and get on a horse you're going to die of hypothermia in a bout 3 minutes.

The bounds of my credule have been overstretched.

Yes, but did you see John's still quite open wounds? There are suggestions he's basically undead and thus not subject to the same livey/dyey stuff as the rest of us.

He's basically Jesus. :nod:

My wife was quite upset because she thinks the dragons are cute.

It was also good because you can now pick out all the sad ****s discussing how fast ravens can travel.

What I don't get is why Bran wasn't being used as air reconnaissance for this expedition in the first place. Seems to me these dopey cùnts haven't got a clue.

For the second week in a row I have switched over and found myself watching the final 20 minutes of this program, and yes the boning of the blonde chick by the injured man was what I was expecting and more than a little let down when it did not occur.

Meanwhile – dragons, characters who look like the bad fúckers from the third Lord of The Rings movie, dead dragons being pulled with what look like remarkable ease from icy waters, then becoming alive again.

And I not 7S querying from where they got the chains?

Hmmmmm.

Their inability to lay down suppressing fire on the anti-aircraft artillery is little short of retarded.

That's two actions dragons have been involved in and both times they've taken casualties.

The series / concept is too far gone for me to give a critical appraisal of without sounding like I am winging it.

It does appear to have rather gripped a lot of people I have to say, based on office based conversations between normally rational chaps.

That is the problem about the Welsh Dragons having a lack of match practice, they p;ay the pre season friendly games and then when they play a battle hardened team they are shocked... niave defending from the fire breathers imo

They very cleverly started the first couple of series with lots and lots of barenaked chicks, which got lots of people on the hook.

They seem to have given up on the tits now, sadly.

For what it is, it's good. It's earthy enough not to turn off people like me who find Tolkien-type stuff laughable, while it's mystical and dragony enough to suck in the spoddy types like Sir C who love that sort of shīt.

They should send in two dragons first to take out the ack ack. THEN they can steam in at their leisure.

She had it written into her contract a couple of seasons ago that she doesn't have to drop 'em out any more.

Yes, but come on! She and Jon are clearly going to do the nasty. That's narratively significant and you can't have it happening off screen.

Anything less than her getting a graphic rogering will be very distressing.

They might do it mystically. A sort of Vulcan mind-meld, but with genitals.

Meanwhile – dragons, characters who look like the bad fúckers from the third Lord of The Rings movie, dead dragons being pulled with what look like remarkable ease from icy waters, then becoming alive again.

What you will have missed from the context there is that the dragon did not come alive again, as such, as become undead. There is a subtle distinction. These characters who look like the bad fúckers from the third Lord of The Rings movie are a zombie army of undead, or wights as they are known, and their corpses are animated by a cadre of generals known as the White Walkers, lead by a supreme badass known as the Night King (the dude on the horse dispensing the anti-dragon artillery).

When a corpse is re-animated as a wight in control of the White Walkers, it's eyes open with an icy blue glow and the feckers are incredibly hard to kill and keep being brought back to life anyway. Losing one of her three dragons was bad enough for Daenarys, the Khaleesi, Queen of the Andals and Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms known to some as 'the blonde chick', but having one now under the control of the enemy and practically invincible is a Big Problem.

The weakness of this zombie army, as we discovered earlier in last night's epidode, is that if you take out a White Walker (only possible with special weapons) this may cause the wights under their control to basically dissolve. Maybe if you take out the Night King himself, the whole lot will melt, as you will remember that Sauron's army did in LOTR when the source of his power was destroyed. So basically they should hire a couple of hobbits to sneak up and stab him with a dragonglass blade.

In case you were wondering when nine blokes (nine, eh, that might be familiar) were taking on a mighty fùcking army, their plan (bit mad really) was to go beyond The Wall (Scotland basically, but worse) and bring back a wight alive in order to persude all the human factions warring among themselves that they should unite against the common enemy. As plans go it paid a high price.

Hope this helps :thumbup:

Had it merely come alive again, it would have fried, roasted and grilled the cùnt. There is a difference, you see. This is all first year necromancy stuff, tbh.

So will it now breathe ice? Or will it turn people undead with its breath?

I had assumed the former. A new challenge for the CGI team. The latter would seem a bit overpowered, surely. Getting to recruit all the enemy dead in addition to having all your own losses back after every battle is a seriously unlevel playing field as it is, without nicking half their players during the action as well.
