AMReese posted:No, the establishing shot before showing Trystane was showing the boat near the harbor in King's Landing. They used a similar shot before Jamie was seen on the smaller boat being rowed towards Cersei. Also why would he start making eye stones for Myrcella after he was back in Dorne?

To be honest with you, I had no idea that that was what he was doing. I just thought he was just practicing some hobby.

Hodor stands up to his fullest height, cranes his neck back as far as he can and bellows at the top of his mighty lungs,"HODOR!" But Bran is so tall now that he cannot hear him from so far below. Later on in the season Bran trips on a small ankle-high object. It is the Wall.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Well, you could always end the story with a great big violent miserably stupid war with the only winners being the people who weren't great movers and shakers. I'm anticipating that everyone motivated by ego and "might-makes-right" die stupidly, and the survivors are the quiet statesman-types who simply want to govern ethically. Hyper-masculinity (and characters who've been emasculated) are so central to the story. I can't imagine the ending failing to comment on that in a meaningful way, as well.

Josh Lyman posted:The 2 Sand Snakes followed Jamie in their own boat jesus you people are thick So why didn't Trystane say "the gently caress are you doing here?" He seemed to expect them on-board. And why weren't they wet? Just like, rowed their boat up next to him like "oh wow, fancy meeting you here in King's landing... right away... how about you let us chill on your ship? Because reasons." Doesn't hold water. The dogs disappearing and the sand snakes appearing on the shore while Myrcella leaves and then teleporting are both continuity errors. Just accept it. Falling on snow is fine though, not bad enough to be called a plot hole.

So Trystane left King's Landing with the message, and painted those funeral stones even though he went back to Dorne, skipping the funeral? Nope. I didn't catch the eye stones thing at first either, but it fucks the whole thing up. That guarantees he's still in king's landing. Its just a continuity error, accept it and move on.

Because you think the only way to get on a boat staffed by Dornish men that are obviously loyal to them is to take a swim? Something tells me they were in on getting Trystane the same treatment. Also, they'll have to either show that boat sometime or at least show those Sand Snakes, so they could always explain it then. You can't call them continuity errors yet when it isn't a self-contained episode. AMReese fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Apr 27, 2016 |

They could be taking the show in a multiverse/hard sci-fi direction. That is getting really popular this year and the choice to send or keep Trystane is a pretty major decision point. I could see how it could be a point of divergence. Can the dragons travel through time with someone riding on their back or only by themselves?

Rewatched the episode and it is worse the second time around. That's for sure. Area Hotah's face when he gets stabbed is hilarious. I hope ladies like Dorne because its definitely got some pro-woman rah rah rah vibe. If not, sorry. Maybe they are trying to make up for the egregious Bolton - Sansa rapings?

Book Dorne is fairly feminist and the show's butchering of it is not going to win them any favors with the feminist audience which already has several issues with the show, like the scene you mentioned. This makes it worse, not better. turtlecrunch posted:Petty, mindless, violent women that show their tits are what the female viewer has been searching for all along Exactly. Trying to get Myrcella to usurp the throne is pretty feminist. Having a bunch of women who flash their boobs at men for shiggles kill her because... Oberyn... is bad.

Just so I don't go looking through every single thread related to Game of Thrones on this board... Is there a repository or something with all of the gifs/pics made related to Game of Thrones in these threads? A friend of mine has started watching and I want to amuse him by sharing them with him.

Something tells me they were in on getting Trystane the same treatment. If the boat staff were majority disloyal than they would have killed Jamie Lannister, delivering a much bigger f-you to the Lannisters, and had no reason to go back to Kings' Landing. The content of the letter made the scene make sense, but pointing out the funeral stones fucks it all right up again. I never thought about it but now it's been pointed out. What was he going to do, mail the eye stones back to them long after the body was decomposed?

Bland posted:This is some supremely wishful thinking. Got that sense too, though. It was a bad part of season 5, now they're out of the books they can run them headfirst into the Lannisters, have the sand-snakes go up against zombie mountain in a revenge grudge match, then mama snake will see the error of her ways as the rest of her family die horribly, and everyone watching will cheer because they're obnixous characters and the Lannisters become the new protagonists.

AMReese posted:I would think they're too smart to go up against Jamie when they could wait until him and anyone associated with him left for King's Landing, wait until Trystane is alone, and then kill him. It's not like the Lannisters will weep for his death. Then why follow the boat to King's Landing for months with two assassins (off screen, of course) if you know it's going to be headed right back with Trystane on it (because the note said so) in a few months anyway, when you can kill him much closer to home?

So that leaves us with teleporting sand snakes, since they watched the same shape disappear over the horizon (and boarding another, even faster, ship takes time). And the crew wouldn't have let them on board anyways if they already didn't turn on Jamie.

Based on how long Jon has been dead, the boats must have teleported from Dorne to King's Landing anyway

And the crew wouldn't have let them on board anyways if they already didn't turn on Jamie. Does it really matter how they get to King's Landing though? Like you're saying taking a faster ship or even the next ship would be fine. Could it have been better to have another scene showing it sure but I'm fine without it since I don't have to see more of the Sand Snakes. Plus realistic travel times haven't been in the show ever. And even if the crew wasn't working with the Sand Snakes what reason would they have for stopping them from seeing Trystane? No one in King's Landing knows Doran is dead yet.

Also, if the crew was in on the killing of both Doran and Trystan, why wouldn't they let the Sand Snakes on board? We're arguing in circles here when you can just accept what happened and wait and see if a follow-up episode returns to them. Asking why when there's an entire season left seems rather pointless.

We're not talking in circles, you're just missing my point that the crew was not in on it. They had just recently stopped the same people from killing Trystane in the water gardens. They would have not let the exact same assassins on board the ship when after months after they suspiciously caught all the way up to them at Kings' Landing, which is completely bizarre by the way. The crew was also not in on it because they did not interfere with Jamie.

If the crew is in on it, why wait until King's Landing? Kill Jaime loving Lannister, the guy you actually hate, instead of the Martells (or in addition to if you really have to) Its letting him go while killing Doran and Trystane that is so mind boggling. They have the power to overthrow House Martell but oops Jaime escaped! Well, good thing our priorities were in order!
