I liked how they teased finally making R+L=J 100% canon, but stopped an inch short of it because Samwell Bloody Tarly wasn't listening.

Speaking of fanservice, I guffawed at "thought you might still be rowing."

Same. MrsPaz looked at me like I'd gone soft

I did think the crew going out North of the wall are a better suicide squad than the actual Suicide Squad from the movie.

I can't help thinking they rowed there awfully quickly. Like in a few hours.

In GoT seasons 1 through 6, the bit from "I will go north of the Wall and capture a wight" to "here we are leaving the gate, having collected five other characters along the way" would have spanned six episodes. In season 7, it was about 15 minutes. I'm OK with that.

On the one hand, they shamble instead of marching. But on the other hand, they don't need to stop to eat or sleep and don't need to keep pace with any support logistics that a living army would need. So in conclusion: wtf?

Jon: Dany, we know where the army of the dead are. Bran told us. Could we borrow a dragon for like 5 days, a week tops, to fly up there, roast the dead army and the Walkers and be back for the rest of the war?

Also, whilst the distances travelled are now a bit silly, Is rather they do this and have thus far a fucking excellent series, than spread it out across an extra five episodes during which less happens.

Plus Jon has fucking Gendry with him; All Westerosi Champion Rower!

Current favourite character list:
1 - Ser Davos
2 - Bronn
3 - Big Wilding Man
4 - The Hound
5 - Littlefinger

I do like Tyrion. He nearly made my list.

Arya is being a bit annoying at the moment but I do like her. I also like Brienne but she's not doing much.

I like Gendry's hammer.

Aye. That's the one.


It was pointed out in the same thread that the Others went after Bran and the Three Eyed Raven and he was fairly central north of the wall so the linked map is inaccurate.

Interestly there's a horn in the show too that was found at the Fist with the dragon glass. Sam has it but it hasn't been mentioned or shown in yonks.

Question:

Will any of the main cast have a successful post-Thrones career?

I don't recall any of them being in anything else much cop so far, but that's excusable given the show's demands. Dany has been in a few romcoms, and Jon Snuh in some apparently crap action movies, but anyone else? I suppose Tyrion has done well enough.

Varys has always popped up in things and will doubtless continue to do so, likewise Littlefinger, but will any of those to really make their name from the show properly break out? Cersei obviously doesn't count as she was pretty well known already.

Well, I would imagine that they will all have opportunities, and in fact many of them seem to be cramming stuff in. I would be inclined to narrow that question down to the younger members of the main cast, say under 30, as most of the older characters have had decent careers up to GoT.
Who knows? They'll get offered more stuff than many of their peers; it is an industry that favours returns (largely) so it depends on how successful the projects they appear in are.

Doing a role like that for so long means that producers worry the audience won't be able to separate them from their well known characters though. The cast of the West Wing or The Sopranos didn't exactly go onto super high profile careers.

Liam Cunningham should get lots more work after this. I've always liked him but Sir Davos has been outstanding this series.

Speaking of GoT actors, I listened to the Richard Herring podcast with Mark Addy again the other day. He is such a lovely fella with a great story about Sean Bean and being a Yorkshireman working in Hollywood - definitely worth a listen.
