Cersei sent the golden company and the Lannister army to Winterfell without dragonglass or valyrian steel or dragons to get immediately wiped out by the Night King and leave every inch of the south undefended against either a Night King victory or a Targaryen victory. Yes, D&D are that dumb.

My mom assures me these leaks are real, because she watched the actual episodes today. Arya steals qyburns face, poisons Cersei and then slits her throat NK fucks up the Vale. Sweetrobin dies. Drogon kills Visyerian Dragon fire doesn't affect WW, does affect whitey Brienne dies, but not before banging Jaime Dany has baby girl Dany dies in child birth Golden Company guts dragonstone, takes dany body to Urine Bran wharfs into dragon, burns kingslanding to the ground Oh wait, now after spending the day crying about various aspects of this, and showing me her goosebumps... now after I Start grilling her, she shows me the "video" and it's a bunch of still screens, with narration in a robot voice. After I explained that it wasn't real she said "oh, I guess I have a hard time telling fiction from reality online", and that ladies and gentlemen, is why donald trump is president today.

wasn't cersei's whole plan last season to wait until the North & Daenerys were exhausted fighting the Others, then mop 'em up also wasn't the whole tension with Dany last season this idea that if she helped the North, Cersei would have time to consolidate the South against her seems like the golden company should be, doing that

Nope. They're getting zomb'd by NK while the south is defenseless.

I believe Absolute Fucker is the term you are all grasping for. I think he does poo poo like this when everyone is excited about HBO stuff. I mean, he _could_ drop a teaser, or a new chapter, or really anything to remind us how much we like the books, but nah. Just another chum bucket of "get hosed". Solice Kirsk posted:You know what would surprise the hell out of me at this point? If the show ends with Dany completely mad kinging all of the people that got her there and killing Jon to make sure to keep the thrown. Everyone hates/fears her. She still has a dragon to nuke her enemies. And her foreign armies are loyal only to her, all the great houses have been eliminated, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it.

I think she's going to do something barbaric as a ruler (or in the climax of an important battle) and step down from power due to guilt; at least that's what I thought the books were leading up to with her character.

I just want to refer back to something pages back and say it's extremely weird how they had Arya flunk out of Assassin school only to come back to Westeros to be one of the best fighters on earth, able to stand up to Brienne of loving Tarth even though the actual first sword of Braavos, Syrio Foreskin, died to Meryn loving Trant. They might as well have just had her be a prodigy because that's how it shook out anyway. Point is: The Hound is the best character on the show.

I think the prevailing thing with The Hound is that Rory McCann is so charismatic that he could act through anything they give him and it turns out to be good. Nikolaj is also charismatic as gently caress and he's also managed to salvage Jaime through some major tripe.

Grevling posted:Yeah, but do you think medieval nobles were a bunch of nihilists who knew they were an oppressive class and didn't care? Didn't they truly believe that they deserved their position because they embodied some sort of ideal? They believed, from their writing, that God said they should be in charge, and whatever oppression that took was in the name of doing God's Work. Projecting some concern for themselves as oppressors onto them does a disservice to their attitudes, they often write about considering the peasantry as much a part of the land as the beasts in the fields, and as such simply property to be husbanded for revenue.

Kind of like Star Wars, the universe of GOT they've set up isn't actually that interesting and a lot of it was that the characters were interesting so if you can't write those characters or are unable to use them at all, you have nothing.

And much like Star Wars the idea for a new series only gets better the further away from the original timeline you get. Star Wars either needs a KOTOR trilogy or Thrawn trilogy. Get away from the god drat Skywalker years. Thrones needs either an Asshai or Old Valyria prequel. gently caress Westeros and anything after Aegon's conquest.

Gotta see if there's anything they _won't_ do. Maybe the Golden Company are the real Unsullied
