Shibawanko posted:What bothers me most in this stupid show is how people who walk around what looks like the equivalent of northern Greenland don't wear scarves or even a hood or cap. They're bundled up in furs but then leave their neck and face totally exposed to snowstorms and stuff. Well, while they're in Winterfell, remember that it's heated with pipes, so I imagine they can bundle up a bit less thanks to that.

He needed all his recovered Valarian poo poo from the books. That's what instantly gave him legitimacy, proof he did what nobody else could do, right from literally the first second you see him. Without that, he's just some prick.

"Hey guys, I have a dick. Vote for me." is pretty believable when it comes to the delicate, nuanced power structure and succession rites of the Iron Islands. "Hey guys, check out my wardrobe and impressive collection of knick-knacks"... not so much.

It's more a case of "Hey guys, I sailed where no one has ever sailed which automatically makes me the best pirate ever" logic that is pretty believable to sway the primitive iron islanders

Cause it was definitely Joffrie sending the assassin to kill Bran in the books. Because King Robert said something about it being better if he was dead than suffering like he was.

It's really weird that they didn't place the blame on Joffrey too, seeing as how the show goes out of their way to make the evil character more  .Like, we get it, Joffrey is a dick, no need to pincushion a whore.

IIRC the show plotline was entirely contained in S1 and went like this: With the dagger in their possession, Ned and Cat question LF LF says it belonged to Tyrion, but keeps the dagger (later uses it during the Stark betrayal) Cat kidnaps Tyrion and interrogates him Tyrion says something along the lines of "who would be dumb enough to use their own blade to assassinate someone?" They get attacked by mountain bandits and the assassination plot is never brought up again

Even knowing that Kelly C loses a dragon what threat does the night king even pose? His army is a bunch of flammable Romero zombies and when those get torched by the other 2 dragons theres like a dozen white walkers vs an army of people with valeerian steel swords and dragon glass arrows. Do we need 14 more episodes for this predictable poo poo?

If Gendry does show up it will be to run in a straight line and get arrowed by Euron without a single line because the alternatives are: a) Him becoming the king of the seven kingdoms which is a no-no since that spot is exclusively for Jon/Dany/Tyrion/Democracy b) Jon/Dany/Tyrion killing him to remove his claim to the throne which is also a no-no because Jon/Dany/Tyrion are saints born from a virgin and will only shoot if shot first

Gendry doesn't have any real claim to the throne. He's the low born bastard of four kings ago, like two people in the world know that, and he doesn't want to rule. As hilarious as it is that the writers forgot him on the boat, he is basically irrelevant to the plot and the only reason they would bring him back is if they want to do something else with king's blood magic.

Right, the big prophecy with Azor Ahai was that he had to sacrifice his wife to make the sword all super fire power, right? So somebody on the good guy team is gonna get axed at the very end. Hence bittersweet. (and knowing GRRM its gonna be somebodies plural) A few side characters and at least one of the Starks will survive. But beyond that I wouldn't be surprised if they start killing people off left and right for ratings.

Yeah it'll probably end predictably with like Jon Snow riding a dragon that's breathing fire at the Night King while he shoots an ice ray back and it's a Harry Potter wand fight. But it could be a lot worse. Maybe I've watched too many Preston Jacobs videos, but there do seem to be a lot of hints at circumstances being manipulated by the various gods. It would be loving terrible if there's some moment where Jon meets the Red God and gets a big exposition dump about how he and Dany and everyone else are just pawns.  I'm just fine with a big stupid obvious battle between good and evil.
