I'd love to know why the Tyrells have ships in the first place. Also, the Lannisters who control the western coast don't notice the Greyjoy fleet heading to Mereen? The geography really confuses me.

TommyGun85 posted:I'd love to know why the Tyrells have ships in the first place. Incompetence mainly. Secondly I doubt the Lannisport Lannisters were talking much to Cersei. Maybe they told Kevan and he was doing something about it but he definitely wouldn't tell Cersei about it. And in the books Cersei appointed a dumbass to be her Fleet Admiral. Worse than a dumb rear end actually because a literal stupid donkey wouldn't have stolen or sunken all of the ships

The Western edge of that map is the edge of the world. They can't go outside it else they fall off, so they have to hug the coast, obviously.

Question: not that it will be answered canonically, but couldn't the Crown take possession of the Stormlands and make them a part of the Royal States, rather than letting it revert into a confederation of electors & mayors or whatever

In the book you have JonCon landing and Arienne trying to meet up with him so now we'll get to meet 500 lords of houses with names like Lightningog and Windypoof and Stormyfrane with intrigues and mysteries and wacky hijinx that have nothing to do with the main plot.

We'll probably see something along those lines, yeah. D&D in their post-show commentary said that Jaime was afraid of what Cersei would be like without her children humanizing her. The woman on that throne was happy that she finally got what she wanted, not a grieving mother. But still, it kind of seems like he's going to need a little extra push to put down another Mad King. We'll probably see some version of Kettleblacks or Myrish Swamps. We may not see the rest of the hilarity because of lack of context in the show for places like the Arbor and Shields, and they want to avoid boring poo poo like taxes and trade negotiations as much as possible. And I think they straight forgot about the iron banck

The only thing that could make this better is if we get some ~Meanwhile, back in King's Landing~ and its Cersei and Qyburn pouring over treaties and trade deals with Pentos and them discussing the details of certain clauses. In passing they mention Gregor slaying some Sparrows but only in a single passing sentence

TommyGun85 posted:presumably the whole "we dont care if hes a bastard" speech means he has usurped Sansa as Lord of Winterfell. Bran too. Sansa is going to die anyway. She let her direwolf die and we all know their mortality is indirectly tied to their direwolves. Bran is going to bite it as well with some noble sacrifice just after telling Jon his parentage.

Arcsquad12 posted:So the behind the scenes stuff says that Sansa is jealous that Jon gets all the credit for saving winterfell. Well maybe if you didn't keep information about the vale knights from him or spent the last three seasons fighting and literally dying for your followers you might get some respect too. I found it pretty stupid that right after Jon gave that big angry hit the bricks speech to Mell E Mel about wasting and endangering lives n killing people, he's just like, "lol, whatever , we're cool" when Sansa reveals that she just did something similar.

Jon: Davos - I'm so sorry for what happened to Shireen. It's truly unthinkable that someone could cruelly and senselessly murder a young child like that. I know she was like a daughter to you. You are right - she deserves death for what she's done, no two ways about it. We're of one mind on that one. The thing is Davos, and believe me Davos when I say I have a heavy heart on this one, the fact of the matter is, she's magic. We need that poo poo to beat the ice monsters. I have a new lease on life and that's now the most important thing to me. Winter is coming. So for now, she's gonna tell me if she decides child murder is her best course of action, and you're going to leave her alone. LC out.

remind me, why does Preston want Lyanna's baby to be Dani? it makes no sense since Dani's birth was fairly well recorded, along with her and Viserys escape.

As opposed to theories just being theories, he has a wider narrative playing in his head and he doesn't like the idea of letting go of it. He will force that square peg to fit that round hole until the hole is square shaped  He's given GRRM way too much credit to the point that every little unneccessary detail and narrative fluff is actually telling 3-4 more books worth of story. Every time he's proven wrong in something he dies a little. No author has written a narrative so deep and complex as he imagines GRRM to have written. Having to let go of all that, all his work and referencing, and admit to himself that maybe a lot loving more than half the things he's theorized about aren't coming true is depressing.

Preston should be the first choice to replace GRRM when the Pear Shaped Man dies. It's the only way to ensure we can keep joking about books never being written and then one day experience the series as a disjointed series of notes and diagrams that would pass for a serial killers collection in any movie.

I could imagine ASOIAF ending in an Animal Man-esque 4th wall breakage except this time the fictional characters all have very obvious moral high ground over the author and lecture him while he says "Sorry, I'm sorry. I'm trying to delete it".

Preston believes the last shot of the last episode is going to be a golden theta emblazoned space ship landing on the scene of the greatest battle and a space bureaucrat walks out and say "uhhhhh why are you dumb dumbs still loving around with swords and horses? Where's your engineering corps family? Where this *checks translucent clipboard with glowing letters, runs fingers down names* Targaren? They were supposed to have you up to spaceflight tech by now so we could trade. What a bunch of dumb dumbs. There's a space war going on and you're all loving around in the dirt like dumb dumbs. Jeeze louise."

Atreiden posted:remind me, why does Preston want Lyanna's baby to be Dani? it makes no sense since Dani's birth was fairly well recorded, along with her and Viserys escape. He thinks Danerys is Azor Ahai, and since Azor Ahai is not even in the show, Im guessing R+L=D is the closest comparable thing that's left in? He did actually also say R+L=D at some point, but I honestly dont remember the details of all his rambling nonsense. Something about her "recorded birth" being a lie that her brother and priests used moon candles to brainwash her into believing while the dreams she has of a house is her "real" memories of being born in Dorne or something. He says "Now" waaay too much and my brain tunes out the words after a while. To be completely fair, the Azor Ahai part is not the worst of his theories, since it looks like the only (magical) thing that has a remote chance preventing a zombie apocalypse is the giant dragons she's bringing, so at least that makes sense in terms of the narrative. But he is absolutely out of his mind to think that R+L=J isnt true in at the very least the show, "We weren't TOLD who the father is so it could be insignificant" is denial on par or even a level above "we didn't see the body so Stannis is alive."

He made a whole video series about his R+L=D theory. If I recall, it started with him hyper-focusing on the lemon tree in Dany's memory and it snowballed from there.

Yeah it's his "tower of joy" series. I feel like every few months I quote that because poo poo like "supporters of R + L = J really like the idea of the battle of bells being in the third month" is hilarious. He uses estimates of marching distances with units like "walltofells" (the distance from winterfell to the wall). Also ahaha I bet Ned did kill those midwives that sick bastard. I guess in my head the baby was delivered personally by the sword of the morning sickness.

So did they really just spend all of Marge's screentime in the last season and a half as a giant head fake just to make the Baelorsplosion more shocking? Is someone going to pick up a scroll she wrote before she died that says "in case cersei kills me, here's what I was up to"? Solice Kirsk posted:He put the sliz on a sept.
