Why the hell are "allies" and poo poo on that thing? The Mountain needs to be there? Brandon Stark needs to be there? It's as convoluted as anything gurm could have come up with so good on them.

it's a simple story with a simple moral about not burning children alive

sure a child is burned alive and at least two others were roasted after being lightly killed and thousands off screen but don't call the actors with a sense of humor about the production a oval office, ya oval office

Well, if she havent burned her, I guess the Battle of the Bastards would have been quite uncomfortable under that endless storm. Heck, it worked so well it might have actually delayed the loving winter a bit

It's goddamn criminal they didn't time it so crawling up to the flames happens when he says "what is going on in here" and it catching fire makes him say "piss" and the town on fire "it's so hot in here"
He didn't even keep it going long enough to hear it's so hot in here.

According to http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Bastardy Snow is actually the most fitting surname, since he grew up in the north.

he doesnt need legitimizing, all the northern Lords basically said they dont give a poo poo if hes a bastard hes still their Lord.

Honestly, I think they're happier about it this way. The Starks are effectively broken as a house until Sansa gets her poo poo together. I mean, Bran's off being a crippled druid, Arya's too busy stabbing bitches to worry about producing heirs, and Jon's grasped the importance of throwing all of humanity into not being murdered by ice monsters.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.

Of all the pointless characters on there (the loving mountain?) I hope Tyrion being left off is 100% intentional so that they don't have to confirm/deny whether or not Tywin's his father.

davecrazy posted:

So do people ever stop to consider that Jon's not a bastard in the first place? Targs have had multiple wives and there's no reason to think Rhaegar and Lyanna couldn't have gotten married, even if it was just them, a maester/septon, and a few kingsguard like Arthur Dayne. Gonna be funny if next season Bran relays what he saw and its "...and so aunt Lyanna told father that she eloped with Rhaegar and begged him to protect their son Jon Targaryen. Good news Jon, you were never actually a bastard!"

The mountain is only connected to Tywin and people he's killed on that map. And nobody has killed him despite being a zombie.

They could, but considering a war was started over the kidnapping, it would be really dumb if they hadn't announced it. I mean Lyanna is a Stark, so doing dumb things is in her blood.

The book wiki seems to suggest it's where you're raised that determines your bastard name rather than place of birth, but he'd be Jon Sand if it were birth.

Because the Blackfyres was a noble house founded by legitimized Targaryen bastard. Targaryen bastards follow the same naming conventions as other bastards.

So...is his dad gonna come gently caress him up or does Sam just have Hartsbane now...

Cuz the only reason I can think of him keeping it is because we have now 3 magic dragon swords that the viewers are familiar with, to go with the 3 dragons and the 3 Targs/riders.


The 3 swords being Longclaw, Oathkeeper, and now Hartsbane. I don't recall any other Valyrian blades being prominent in the show.

In the book Aegon probably has the original Targ sword that Bittersteel took, and there's also the smaller sword that was made along with Oathkeeper from Ice. In the end I see the book going in the same direction of 3 dragons = 3 riders = 3 swords.

Yeah I think Joffrey's sword was the other one made from Ice, wasn't that in the show? What happened to it?

According to the kipedias Tommen inherited it, though it was last shown at Joffrey's funeral.

But unless you hear characters name-drop it out of nowhere episode after episode while they load up Chekhov's Gun with a full magazine I think it's safe to say that Gendry has it in his rowboat.

Ned dropped his sword in that fight just like Arya did the first time Syrio tried to train her. It's like poetry. It rhymes.

Having a unreasonably large compensation blade would be more anime than dual-wielding at this point
