I have a feeling he'll be more than ok with that along as he does have a certain degree of power. Littlefiner seems like the type that always needs to serve someone, if only to give himself someone to scheme against.

If the bank required any property to be put up as security for the loan, then that property already has a lien on it. If the borrower defaults, then the bank can foreclose on the lien, take possession and then sell or otherwise dispose of the asset to satisfy the debt. So either the castles already have a lien, and could come up at a foreclosure auction or these were unsecured loans - in which case, the banks are screwed. But Littlefinger is gonna have a bad day when he check his CreditKarma app for his free credit score.

Why did Qyburn act like a big crossbow was some amazing technological advancement? They have little ones already. Also why don't they have catapults or trebuchets?

rage-saq posted:It's almost as bad as all of the goons wondering BUT BUT BUT THAT WASN'T NYMERIA WHAT DOES IT MEAN. When the end of the show the little after episode recap that D&D always do and one of them says THIS IS EXACTLY, SPECIFICALLY, UNEQUIVOCALLY WHAT EVERY SECOND OF THAT SCENE MEANS. SORRY WE SHOT IT POORLY, WOLVES AREN'T GOOD AT ACTING/EMOTING. Exactly what I was thinking. That scene was total garbage, just a bunch of jump-cuts to close-ups of dog eyes. Really awkward. I would have done it like you said, have Nymeria stay for awhile or something but then take off. Or have Nymeria about to bite her even and then some people show up and she runs off instead. But that weird staredown just didn't work.

So did the Blackfish and he was way cooler than Yara. Of course, the Lannister soldiers and Brienne could be lying and Stannis and the Blackfish might be helping some hippies build a church somewhere.

And a lot of people took it as just "okay that wasn't actually Nymeria that was some other dire wolf" while other people took it as "that's Nymeria but she's not domesticated like how Arya isn't a lady or whatever" So obviously it was pretty muddy in its meaning. Elman posted:loving Stannis died off-screen. At this point, who knows! He was dealt a mortal blow on-screen. Close enough! The mountain got a mortal blow and came back, but that just means that stannis could come back, not that Yara could get killed offscreen. Stannis isn't coming back

Stannis zombie would be good for some laughs. Especially if Brienne just split his head down the middle or something. Zombie Shireen is probably out unless another zombie wants to hold a jar for her ashes.

So the wife and I usually close out of HBO Go as soon as credits roll, but we kept it open this time and they explained that it was a nod to Season 1 Arya where Ned was telling her she could dress up in pretty dresses and be a beautiful Queen one day. Arya's response was "that's not me" then turned around and walked away. They said that scene with Nymeria was the same. Basically Nymeria is home with her fellow wolves and it's just not her to be tied to a human any longer. e: What rage-saq said

My favorite part of the episode was Hot Pie and Arya crossing paths again and her basically going 100% Hound in that inn. Followed closely by Euron offing the Sand Snakes who turned out to be pretty lovely combatants. And man I know he got some new digs and maybe lost some weight but I still don't care for Euron's actor. Edit: somebody hit the nail on the head earlier when they said it was the decision to merge Euron and Victarion into a single character. Santheb fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Jul 25, 2017 |

"That's not you, which is like what I said to my father 6 years ago when he told me I would get married, by which I meant that it was not in my nature to live such a life. It is much the same for this direwolf in particular, Nymeria, the one that used to be mine."

Wait, am I the only one who actually understood the Arya/Nymeria scene? Why would it be another direwolf (which just happened to obviously recognize her and kept the others from attacking... for some reason?), the writing's stupid but it's not that stupid. Did people really need her to say "You could come back home with me, girl... Oh, I suppose you aren't going to choose that because that isn't you, which is to say that life isn't for you, which is to say you do not wish to be my pet anymore and we must now go our separate ways."

Golli posted:If the bank required any property to be put up as security for the loan, then that property already has a lien on it.  this is Westeros, not modern capitalism. There is no enforcement mechanism for the Iron Bank to foreclose on castles. It is mentioned in the show several times that if you fail to repay the Iron Bank their enforcement mechanism is funding your adversaries. There was also some implication that they'd hire the Faceless Men to take out a leader who stiffed them.

Jesus the wolf scene wasn't difficult to understand! "I'm going home, come with me!" HUGE dire wolf leaves with its wild family "That's not you." Goons: like, I don't get it? Was it not the same wolf? What's with these close ups? Man, the writing is really bad! That's NOT you, as in that's NOT who you are. You can't be domesticated, just like I couldn't be domesticated all those years ago. Oh my LOL Great episode, great show. Edit: Parasol Prophet gets it! Honestly I reckon people are just poo poo posting instead of paying attention, then get confused
