I'm not sure anyone shops around for the biggest cock in that situation. less laughter posted:Because the NK already killed one of the three and Dany's worried he would kill the other two as well if they were just by themselves, without her and the army to back them up. I guess, but NK can't be everywhere at once. They could definitely burn the edges of the the army, and if he showed up, just book. Might be your best chance to lure him out anyway. I mean they could at least clear out small sections of WW moving independently from the main body of the army.

In It For The Tank posted:The show definitely has identifiable templates when it comes to writing dialogue. Specific characters have common trends (like Tyrion and Varys just trade quips while fellating each others' intelligence and ruminating how different they are) but a shocking number of dialogue scenes boil down to something like this: I like how jon and dany got interrupted, and then walked in silence up 10 flights of stairs or whatever to get to the top of the wall. Jon couldn't be like "oh well, I'm not interested in ruling, and I bent the knee, and thats all there is to that issue.

PupsOfWar posted:it's established in the books, yes. You don't even have to go that far in the books. The Kettleblacks are a bunch of nobodies that pop up in KL one day saying they are knights, and are promptly brought into service in the freaking royal palace. One of them instantly becomes KINGSGUARD, and when asked who knighted him, he basically invents a name on the spot. "It was Ser, umm...Mouse....Notebook." On some better passages, they comment that while any knight can make a knight, a knight's status derives partially from who knighted him. Stannis is a Lord, so even when he takes dubious people as knights other grudgingly accept because not doing it would spite a powerful house. But some crazy hedge knight serially knighting people would just make other snort and laugh in any court or castle. It's one of those things in ASoIaF that actually makes some sense, until the story needs to take a dump on it for reasons.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:He presumably lost his title as Queensguard by leaving Cersei, and she could theoretically strip his title as A Lord of Casterly rock or THE Lord of Casterly Rock, whichever he is, which would have also made him Warden of the West. A lord, IIRC, as he gave up his position in the succession of House Lannister by joining the Kingsguard. IIRC Tyrion is actually the valid choice for Lord Lannister right now, which is the best thing.

No, just the bounty on every dwarf ever. The rightful Lord of Casterly Rock is kind-of moot when your Lannister family members occupy the Iron Throne...I guess? There's no real mention of Kevan or anyone else truly managing the affairs of Casterly Rock. GRRM hasn't exactly fleshed-out the legal/political law.

It wouldn't surprise me if a bunch of peasants from Lannisport down the hill moved into Casterly Rock once they realized that not only was it abandoned, but it was defenseless after the Unsullied took it, killed everyone, and then turned around and marched back to Kings Landing without a single gently caress given. It's like Storm's End, Sunspear, Highgarden, the Twins, Riverrun, and Pyke (for the moment), a castle sitting empty with no lord, or family, or army to man it. And Winterfell is probably going to join that list in short order. Man, it's really something how basically every great house has been virtually wiped out, hasn't it? And seeing as how they were the cause of most of Westeros' ills, good, gently caress em.

to hell with a republic, most of those terrible city-states in western Essos are republics, federated syndicalist communes of westeros or bust not that any character on the show has shown the first hint of interest in actually reconfiguring or abolishing the class structure of westeros, of course

The funny part is that she won't even have to bother. Most houses and factions are basically disappearing the world (or the plot, which means the same thing) by itself through sheer dumbness or convenience. Tyrrel vs Martells feud? Gone, they all died. Tullys and Freys? Also kaput. Hightowers never moved a finger in the show or books. The Faith? Basically gone as well. The only factions that still exist basically became unified modern little armies and early nation-states because the world lost all nuance. Lannisters all follow Cersei loyally despite her being an overt psycho with a goofy xombie bodyguard who everyine saw walking nude in shame (that was a big deal, until it wasn't) because eh, screw it. The Vale basically serves as a shapeless deus ex machina with no identity of its own. Maybe everyone else dumbs themselves to death and the Hightowers just put a Citadel in each place and it becomes a giant campus. I dub thee Samwell Tarly, RA of the West dorms!

Well there are dozens of cadet branches and minor houses and such who are presumably all jockeying for control in the many, many power vacuums. The fact that the show doesn't bother with any of that and distills it into an epic showdown between a handful of major characters is understandable I guess, but a huge weakness in my opinion.

If I had to make a guess without any spoiler input right now I'd guess that the whole things ends in: 1) Dany takes the south, presides over a new peace, everyones just sort of goes on with their lives because no one truly cares who rules just like they keep saying. 2) Jon takes the North and becomes "The Dragon in the North" or some poo poo like that as an equal ruler that's recognized as part of the ruling Targ family. Takes up residence in Castle Black and leaves governing to the remaining Starks. 3) The northern culture is so changed by the wars, NK attack and wildlings moving in that they just become a sort of Night Watch nation state, dedicated to being ever-ready for another NK attack with the south supporting them in earnest again now that everyone knows that poo poo is real. The Walls castles are manned fully. They fill the hole in it with dragonglass or something idk.

It's great that Dorne accomplished literally nothing except racking up one of the 3 Lannister child kills. They were supposed to be the one big unallied kingdom who needed to be wooed because the military forces of the other houses had been getting depleted and they were the wildcard, but all of their leadership killed each other and then died and now they are just a complete non-entity. Even Oberyn could've been removed from the plot because all he did was turn the Mountain into a zombie which might come into play but probably won't, and if you removed the rest of the Martells then all you would really need to do is have Myrcella fall down some stairs or something and we would be in the exact same spot anyway.

Tywin Lannister even conned his kids into thinking they were rich, I think it's all mainly to show the Lannisters being illegitimate and everyone else reluctantly going along with it. The twist in ASOIAF is that the true royal bloodline actually do have magical dragon blood, but even that just amounts to is being able to wield dragons in combat, hardly descendants of gods for all to worship, they had to take control of the 7 kingdoms the hard way, though at this point supposedly many no longer even believe in dragons so Im not sure if that even makes sense. Not saying it's perfect, but I think it's one of those things that fits the context of the world and the times being portrayed. If anything I would complain that too often the peasant classes seem overly educated, like King's Landing going into riot when Joffrey took the throne because they all totally knew he was supposed to be the bad guy in the book, in reality I dont think they would know any better and wouldn't say a word until he actually started to directly gently caress with them, which if he did isn't really detailed in the books, at least that I recall. vvv- maybe he did, it's been too long Dr. Video Games 0112 fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Apr 23, 2019 |

Finally watched this. Just a bunch of stupid poo poo before they murder everyone (thank god) and got some uncomfortable Arya baps. I hope the NK wins. And standing triumphant, opens his mouth to monologue only to have it transition into a fat rear end in a top hat taking a big ol meaty dump. The rear end turns around to reveal the absolute fucker who just says 'gently caress all yall' and then blows his brains out.
