Hi. Are you going to do the 2nd ep preview post? I would like to read your opinion.

Hi anon, thank you for being so patient. I watched the promo a bunch of times and I also saw the stills from the episode. Now, in case you avoid spoilers, I am not saying I have them, but I am not sure which information was confirmed by the show runners in interviews by now. I don’t count trailers, promo pics and still as spoilers. If the information comes from an interview, trailer or other official sources, it ain’t a spoiler.

Moving on..

1. Jaime vs Dany ...

I have seen some people are talking about Jaime’s trial in episode 2 but I was very confused. I was telling a few friends last night - nowhere have I seen it confirmed. I think someone speculated Jaime is on trial and the entire fandom ran with it. Happens a lot. No, we haven’t had any confirmation this is a trial. And I know people think this is the case because he is standing, you have armed guards behind him somewhere, you get a Dany table and a Jon table... well... no. I disagree.

Is this meant to somehow parallel the Tyrion trial(s)? No... I don’t think so. Mind you, Jaime is not in chains. This to me looks a lot like a petitioner to the court would be received. You have the monarch (in this case the alliance - Dany in the middle, flanked by Jon and S.nsa), and then you have the rest of the court. Plus, it has been established the North side doesn’t like the Dany side, hence the two tables, hence they sit separately since the Northern Lords are like YoU cAn’T SiT WiTh Us. The guards would and should be there by default. Jaime is standing because he is addressing the Ruler.

Keep in mind, the previous episode finished with Jaime arriving in incognito mode in WF. Maybe Bran calls the guards and Jaime is taken into the Great Hall to explain himself - not only is he arriving in non Lannister colours, he is also arriving by himself. He’s got some explaining to do, since last these people have met, he was to march to Winterfell with an army to aid in the fight against the Army of the dead.

About Dany’s discourse - Dany and Jaime haven’t officially met. He tried killing her on the Field of Fire 2.0 and he almost got roasted by her baby Drogon (*pets* the best son ever). They also crossed paths in the Dragon Pit Summit (LMAO idk why I am calling it that; I guess it’s because fake truce or armistice is too much; oooooh let’s call it a parley). But they haven’t actually spoken. And Dany has some things to say to the man who killed her father. In my opinion (but who the fuck knows anymore since the writing is killing me and after episode 1 I have so little faith), Dany will have her Queen mask on, she is angry because quite frankly WHERE THE FUCK IS THE ARMY BITCH. Like ofc this means Cersei betrayed them, you don’t need a genius (*cough* S.. *cough*) to tell you that if he is travelling low key and alone.

Dany needs closure. She will probably tell Jaime - listen, my brother told me all about you; because you killed my dad we had to flee; because you killed my dad we were poor and starving and on the run; the only thing that made us keep going was fantasising about all the ways we would kill you to avenge our father. I don’t blame them, tbh, it’s quite normal, considering what Viserys was feeding her. But! Dany knows now that Viserys was lying; that her father was a mad man. She knows this from Barristan Selmy. So I am REALLY hoping that heavy and meaningful speech that is making Jaime shit his pants (fo real look at his face lmao someone gif it pls) and Tyrion to look 10 years older is ending in something along the lines of “My daddy was cray cray; you did good; you can live; but try to kill me again and you die.”

Why? Because it makes sense, and because we have seen Jaime fighting in the trailer, so we know he survives this meeting.

On the other hands, the Starks also have beef with Jaime fookin Lannister - honestly get in line.

Now... do I think Bran Starkashian the drama queen (present at the meeting) will drop the bomb that Jaime pushed him out the window? Hmmm... I cannot make up my mind. My issue is that if he does, then it’s gonna create more drama, and after episode 1 I think the writers can bring it up and just gloss over it (ugh remember how they dropped the Viserion is a wight news?). But, I also think that since Bran isn’t Bran anymore, then what does this matter to him? If this were still Bran, sure I could have seen a point in revealing it. They could also just do a Bran vs Jaime scene in which Jaime goes to apologise and Bran just says some trippy shit.

2. S.ansa vs Dany in the Library (sitting in a tree K-I-.. neah we’re not there yet)

So, as it’s framed, I am guessing Sansa says something to Jaime, hence the look Dany has on her face at the table in the Great Hall - must be something surprising. Then I guess we get their private meeting over how y’all bitches should have never trusted Cersei. I guess S.ansa is at least directly talking to Dany not instead of, ya know, AT HER or ABOUT HER. We also have a still with a fake Dany smile, but I am hoping for some meaningful dialogue here. Dany and S.ansa have quite a lot in common so I really want some meaningful chat here so we can move the fuck on from the train wreck that was the episode 1 welcome. Will this be the episode the writers let S.ansa actually use her brain? We’ll see in 80-ish hours.

3. Jorah x Varys x Tyrion and then some Sam and some Gilly stills

I think this is either before or after a joint small council meeting. But since Dany is in her white outside coat again, then it must be after Tormund x Edd arrive. They look intense so maybe it’s more likely afterwards. Maybe something happens in that meeting.

Also the stills of Jon x Arya and the one of Sam x Jon look from the same place. Sam’s intense look shows me that he might have some residual tension with Jon after that shit reveal. Jondry 5eva.

The still of Sam x Gilly x Little Sam on the bed is so cuuuute. I hope this is post the crypt discussion with Jon and it’s when GIlly knocks some sense into it. Alternatively, it can be the night before the war for some more extra feels.

4. The Forge x Arya

Guessing Arya is going to Gendry to pick up her new weapon and to deliver her Many Faces speech. Is she saying it to Gendry? I think so. Guess this is also where we gonna see sexy Gendry hehe *Gendrya intensifies*

5. And then it gets weird to me... two battle scenes? MAYBE? WHO THE HELL KNOWS ANYMORE

When I first saw the troops moving in the day, I said cool beans, so maybe preparations. But then I see a catapult going off during the day? And more stress? And more people moving. Tormund x Edd arrive during the day too. And we know they are technically behind the dead, since Last Hearth, where Ned Umber was supposed to be was already passed by the dead (since we got the message) so they can’t be arriving before the dead, can they? So how come they arrive and deliver a “they are coming message” and Jon asks how long do they have? How can they be moving faster than the dead? These aren’t slow zombies and Tormund x Edd don’t have a snowmobile laying around. Do they?

But then you have night battle scenes or rather preparations: Missandei x Grey Worm kiss, Jorah with Heartsbane I hope (I hope this is Sam’s token of I have been a shitty boy to your Queen pls say sorry), Arya with a bow (I am so turned on btw), Jorah riding with the Dothraki, Tyrion on the battlements, Jon on the battlements, Lyanna Mormont in armour!!!! So something is happening as night too. Is this a continuation from the day prep? Is this something else entirely? Then why fire the catapult? Is it a test? Am I overanalysing? Certainly.

What is sure though is that we won’t get a battle this episode, we will get the build up to it and everything in between.

6. Jonerys in the crypts

Ah again some actual leak info I have from when Friki was still allowed to talk (nothing new, just something he has already said), but I’d rather say in a different post. So this is clearly not following the Sam x Jon chat, since here Jon has his furs, and Dany is dressed again in her outside white fur coat. My bet is this is just before the battle, and Jon went to pay his respects to his dad (and mom?) one last time, because he is an emo sad boy.

Is this about the reveal? Hmmm not so sure. It is very reminiscent of the Dragon Pit when Jon was sad he had fucked up with Cersei and Dany went to console him. Maybe this is post small council and Dany also goes to console him (she is wearing the white coat there).

7. More small stuff from the stills that we didn’t get from the promo

Tyrion drinking in front of a fire - maybe he is with Bran, since he is also pictured close/next to a hearth.

Sansa eating - she could be in the Great Hall. She looks quite relaxed so idk maybe this is in a more informal setting. Maybe it’s the same as the one with Tyrion.

Bran in front of the Heart Tree during the day - I am hoping one more vision. Maybe this is before Tormund x Edd arrive? Or after? Is Bran trying to see the NK again?

Gilly outside - maybe she is talking to Davos who seems to be in similar setting in a different still?

I think I might have skipped some stuff, but feel free to ask :)

I have quite high hopes for this episode. I am hoping it will end the fucking drama once and for all and I am hoping they let Dany speak for herself more, since she was really toning it down in episode 1, in hopes of appeasing the North. But since that didn’t work, I am so fucking ready to see the Dany we know and love. The Queen we chose.

chicago typewriter ep 16

it took me sooooo long to write my final thoughts in this drama.

since i love to write long ass rants, imma start on how i stumbled on this kdrama.

tbh the last kdrama i finished before i took a break was tomorrow with you (thanks for also breaking me heart) then i decided to watch chinese dramas (and movies). after a month, i came back to watch kdramas again (tunnel > queen of mystery > man x man (i binge watch this but kinda dropped bc i focused to chicago typewriter!!!). i didnt mean to watch chicago typewriter at that time bc im waiting for it to finish first but yoo ah in was calling me ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

and that’s the story on how i got ~addicted~ to kdramas again. addicted meaning i just can’t stop talking about it, thinking about it, and humming the osts every freakin’ where! haha! the last kdramas that made me this addicted were goblin and scarlet heart ryeo~

now, let’s get to the main point of this post: the finale.

if you’re my follower, you can see (my posts) how heartbroken i am bc of episode 15. damn, that episode really broke my heart and soul. and episode 16 did the same thing to me.. the only difference is that the sadness is mixed with happiness.

let me enumerate my faves scenes again:

1. shin yul’s emo moments

- first few seconds and i already cried rivers. my heart’s filled with sadness when hwiyoung died but i literally couldn’t handle shin yul crying his heart out :((((( i love their friendship so much and I CRIED SO HARD WHEN HWIYOUNG SAID IN THE LETTER THAT HE LOVES SHIN YUL. applause for go kyung pyo’s acting 🎉 he did so great i know lots of viewers cried with him too 🎉🎉

2. hwiyoung praying to the sky

- this scene’s strongly reminded me of goblin again but they appealled different to me. the way he prayed not only for his self, but only for his friends made it so touching i had to pause and cry again :((( til the very end his thinking about his friends :((( where can i get a friend like him seriously!!! i also like how cinematography + ost + HIS LINES here, it made the scene so emooooo

4. jeon seol and her mom’s moment - on my ep15 post, i said i would love see jeon seol and her mom together again. im kinda disappointed bc they didnt talk about their present problem so idk if they got together happily after :>(

4. soo hyeon getting back bitches!!!!!

- woooahhhh soo hyeon with the gun, killing everybody partying at carpe diem was the bomb!!! i was screaming, cheering for her like a mad woman (it’s so satisfying to see heo min young and madame sofia getting killed) ㅋㅋㅋ and specially when she said her line, “in the name of joseon youth alliance…” WOW THAT’S SO POWERFUL. there you have it! the strong, independent, lead woman ㅋㅋ kidding aside, i admire soo hyeon for still sticking on joseon youth alliance’s principle. it’s so hard to think and move when think you lost everything… so really thumbs up for soo hyeon for carrying the mission! moreover, i would like to think that she picked up that attitude from hwiyoung (we all know hwiyoung doesnt move by his emotions! joseon first before anybody omg) and that made it so A+++

5. shin yul getting killed by soo hyeon

- i almost choke on my tears here, seriously one of all the saddest scenes! i know soo hyeon’s just carrying her mission but i couldnt help but feel so devastated ahhhhhh loved the im soo jung and go kyung pyo’s acting omg they complemented each other so much :(

6. baek tae min’s scenes - more praises for kwak si yang for his well done acting! hes such an effective villian and i cant imagine another actor for this role! seriously looking forward to watch more of his projects 😍

6. se joo and jin oh bffs moments

- literally the AWWWWWWW MOMENTS! specially when se joo’s telling jin oh to stay *u* our se joo became so soft~ he finally found a true friend after all these years.. considering it’s the same guy he loved and trusted 80 years ago 😭 how can u not love this friendship

and over all:

BALANCE BETWEEN FRIENDSHIP AND ROMANCE

- i know, i know, the viewers been loving the romance between hwiyoung/soohyeon or se joo/jeon seol (i loveeee it tooooo) but I AM JUST TOO HAPPY THEY GAVE US ENOUGH BALANCE BETWEEN THE ROMANCE AND FRIENDSHIP IN THIS FINALE EPISODE. the blend between the sweet scenes for the love birds and heartbreaking scenes among the trio was made just right to my taste. IT’S PERFECT. HONESTLY THEY DRAMA SHOWED WHAT I WANTED. LOOSE ENDS ON THEIR FRIENDSHIP WERE FINALLY TIED. THEY MADE PEACE WITH THE PAST & FOCUSED ON THE PRESENT (though the present’s still so sad wtfffff really) THE ENDING SCENE GOT THE AUDIENCE THINKING AND IMHO, THATS A GOOD WAY TO MAKE AN IMPACT TO THE AUDIENCE. A VERY NICE JOB TO END A MASTERPIECE 👍

all over ratings: 10/10 acting: 10/10 everything else: 10/10 😂😂😂 IM SO SAD TO LET GO OF THIS DRAMA :(((( IT’S A REFRESHING KDRAMA FOR ME.. LEARNING A BIT OF KOREAN HISTORY IN THIS WAY IS ACTUALLY FUN AND ENTERTAINING (WHICH BTW, KUDOS TO THE WRITER) i have this feeling of wanting to suggest it to others but at the same time wanting to just keep it to myself 😭😂 it’d be hard for me to watch a new kdrama/continue some of my kdramas *sigh* i need to clear my mind first so my judgement wouldnt be clouded lmao anyway, this kdrama probably topped my list for this month… or.. this year. next stop: wait for the year-end awards and watch this drama take hope awards (YOO AH IN GOTTA WIN THE BEST ACTOR AWARDS IN TVN OK?????)

#took me ages to finish this post #im sad all over again #my heart hurts #ahhhh #chicago typewriter #yoo ah in #im soo jung #go kyung pyo #thank u to all who became a part of this drama #cryingggg #fave #kdramas
