Please be mindful of those that haven't seen the latest episode. I had to edit some post to add spoiler tags.

Those who have yet to see the latest episode should stay the hell out of this thread.

This exactly. I think I am done with GoT after this last episode.

Hahaha, that's why I said it would be terrible if this were the last episode of the season. I'm rooting for John Snow now and

would love to see him get is fiery redhead back.

. I have not read the books. But the violence is true to the period.

I don't know if I can keep watching it even then. I was super disapointed in what happened, its almost funny when I look back at how seriously I took this show LOL.

I am still heavily invested in this show to give it up, yes I am sad and I won't lie hand over mouth moments at the end but I am hyped for next weeks finale and I like to think it karma will even out one day

I'm assuming midaeval Europe. Kings/Queens, Vlad the impaler, drawing and quartering.

1.

Yeah, I figure Kingsmoot's in. Preview for next week's episode has Asha Yara in it, I guess they're setting up the Iron Island storyline for next season.

2.

I didn't care about that. It's pretty clear they were sellswords anyway, and it could've been distracting if they kept the awful music.

3.

He went to take a leak. Presumably he's escaped. Actually quite certain of it, they've never killed off anyone who has further (important) involvement in the story.

Btw I hate the spoiler tags on this forum, why don't we use the expanded boxed ones? A fair warning, a semi-spoilerish image posted below (nothing really important) When Dany asks about Daario: tumblr_mntsmzH6Uh1qdyjvro1_250.giftumblr_mntsmzH6Uh1qdyjvro2_250.giftumblr_mntqnobZ1K1rqcgoso1_500.jpg Poor Jorah, I felt really bad for him.

That Simpson's reference is gold. Probably the best thing on the internet.

Interesting. You assume that any human civilization will progress through the same iron age.

Tell me what period Star Wars takes place?

Both are total fantasy. I didn't make an assumption, I equated the closest real period and violence to the age in the fantasy Game of Thrones. I'm not familiar with the iron age, but with regard to England and the violence which was par for the course for the age, it's probably closer to the High Middle Ages. Marrying to consolidate power and killing bloodlines to the throne also have real-world parallels. It's quite obvious the GoT world draws inspiration from aspects of actual historical periods.

Start Wars does not take place in a setting or period comparable to any real world historical age.

Uh, spoiler rules on neowin have ALWAYS been that if the episode has aired in the US, it doesn't need tags. Most of us still do it to be nice, but you're wrong here.

I never said it was a rule. An explicit rule that says "Spoilers must be discussed with spoiler tags." doesn't exist. People know that it's unfair to assume that because an episode has aired, everyone entering the thread has seen it. So many factors come into play like people from different countries or people from different time zones in North America. That's why whenever people discuss the latest episode of a show, they use spoiler tags. And that's why it's the generally accepted rule for The Media Room.

There's no issue in openly discussing a previous episode (the one before the latest one). And the same applies to movies. For example, discussing Iron Man 2 spoilers in an Iron Man 3 thread is acceptable. However, people don't openly discuss spoilers for Iron Man 3 just because it opened in one country over another.

It's a courtesy to those that haven't seen the latest episode and it doesn't take long to add the following:

Don't. There will be epic moments in Season 4. ;)

The emotional investment this show has elicited from so many is a testament to the writer(s) and the actors/actresses.

It truly is. I was hooked from the very first episode and my first shock came from seeing Ned Stark die. I was convinced that he was a main character and would somehow escape the clutches of death but I was wrong. I can safely say that I will never forget what happened in the latest episode.

Cleaned

I thought some of the pictures you guys posted were funny but unfortunately, I had to remove them. Otherwise this thread would turn into a "Game of Thrones random picture thread".

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
