mastershakeman posted:I realized last night that the only army in the show to ever run into logistics problems or deal with time and distance was stannis's, and 90% of that was off screen. every other army is essentially intact the entire time and appears wherever needed as long as their hero is with them. it's completely insane It's just more proof that D&D went out of their way to screw Stannis over and make him look bad in the show.

Rob was the grandson of someone of Targ lineage, he was the best option out of the rebels. Also I remembered during some war in KL a drunken mercenary captain declared himself King and ruled from Flea Bottom or something for a few weeks haha

In cyvasse, catapults and trebuchets can remove dragons from the board. So using war machines against them seems the default counter.

Euron is such a Mary Sue in this show, unlike the books where he is an insanely cool pirate king with a magical horn who gets all the girls and Victarion's wife

I dunno why y'all bitch about army logistics so much. Call me crazy, but I don't want any scenes of Tyrion working on spreadsheets or whatever would make you happy. It ain't a huge stretch for me to assume they're working that stuff out offscreen.

God, the Lannisters haven't set a trash collection policy once in the years they've been running King's Landing. A whole city with no trash policy! What an oversight by the show runners. I'm so annoyed I'm gonna have to play 8 hours of Train Simulator 2017 just to calm down.

In ~my headcannon~ Dario is dead and the harpies took back over and re-enslaved everyone in an orgy of horrific violence. Because come on she left the amoral company of foreign mercenary cuthroats in charge of a tenuous situation of a city-state in near-open rebellion. It's either that or he cut and ran while it was still an option.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Jamie and the (somehow reinforced) Lannister army captures Highgarden even though the Reach army has been virtually unscathed by the war so far. Well the show seems to be implying that they still have the support of some of the Tyrell bannermen since Olenna is currently conspiring with foreign invaders, though Cersei did kind of blow up the Lord of Highgarden so that seems iffy

PostNouveau posted:I wouldn't go quite that far but you're definitely right about her being the worst actor who ever lived. Clarke never beat anyone: pilot Daenerys was played by Tamzin Merchant who bowed out of the show. While I don't know how well she would have fit the part, Merchant is good at acting and I imagine she would have brought way more to the character than Clarke.

I suppose the Lannister brothers) and he's the only one who not only has to care about logistics but also fail due to them. it's ridiculous

Has Clarke done any other work we could use as a control to figure out whether she's actually bad at acting or just being badly directed in Game of Thrones?

If you want to see just how bad Clarke is, look up clips of her short run as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fgNRgUBtcGg

Because come on she left the amoral company of foreign mercenary cuthroats in charge of a tenuous situation of a city-state in near-open rebellion. Danny finished this questline, it's marked as done in the quest log and she moved on into the next leveling area. Nothing will happen in a low level area after the protagonist has outleveled it.

There's a chapter where Quentyn is in Astapor after Dany abandoned it, and it's hell on earth. Like people barbecuing babies kind of hell. That's what I imagine Meereen has devolved into.
