He shouldn't though because that Die Hard swim below the fire poo poo works only on the presumption that you aren't wearing a suit made of steel They will probably make sure to put Jaime in the "next episode preview" just to make sure people know he isn't dead. ...Or they won't, to make people wonder. May be kind of fun to watch the internet agonize for a week over it.

People have been expressing their frustation with the show because of battle tactics/ teleporting cast/ writing and whatever, but the thing that is bothering me the most this season is this "reacting by not reacting" going on. To be fair, maybe it was always like this and i've never noticed before, but watching Kitt staring blank faced at Theon for a solid minute, the underwhelming Stark reunion and nobody giving a poo poo about a dragon soured me on the episode a little.

The show writers really do need to turn the rest of GoT in to a buddy-cop series. Arya/The Hound, Bronn/Tyrion, Brienne/Podrick and Jon/The Night King just getting in to a series of wacky adventures.

Bravos, day, the Iron Bank *The Night King enters the Iron Bank with Jon, both look bewildered Jon: Let me do the talking. They'll never give us the gold to save the Youth Center if you do the talking. Night King: [stares] *Tycho enters Tycho: Welcome to the Iron Bank. Jon: Thank you for meeting us, we're looking... T: I know what you're looking for Jon Snow. You're planning on paying off the debt of the Youth Center's previous owners. We know all about your intentions. NK: [stares] Jon: Yes, we think that with the right... T: Well you didn't think of one thing....Old Man Hasserfast has already bought out and shut down your Youth Center and is going to turn it into a private resort! J: You can't do that! We have just as much right to this land as they do! *Old Man Hasserfast enters with his son Todd Todd: Face it Snow! You're done here! Done! Jon: This isn;t fair at all! NK: [stares]

Why are there giant mesas near Kings Landing? You're going from not-France to not-Croatia, the only place that might have mesas in Westeros should be Dorne right?

One of the subtle things (or maybe not, I dunno how well people pay attention) the show has been implicating is that no matter who wins a lot of people are going to starve to death. Dany just torched the only decent food stock in Westeros. Well except probably Dorne but I feel like that place may as well not exist anymore.

Where is the confusion about LF giving Sansa to the boltons coming from? If he can curry favor with the family that will be ruling an enormous part of the country, he'd be real dumb not to use one of his trump cards, especially if Sansa is pretty worthless to the other players at the moment.

They can put whatever features wherever they want. I don't mind. If they're gonna have a goofy battle whose outcome is a foregone conclusion, at least they're having it in a sorta interesting-looking locale. Better than having it in a regular boring ol' grassland.

Yeah I think you're conflating Sansa's idea of love with Littlefinger's idea of love. His idea of 'love' seems to be that he thinks something is 'precious'. He certainly doesn't care about sex at all except for whether it gets him money and/or power. It's real creepy.

Even then, giving something "precious" to someone who's definitely going to ruin it(oh god this sentence is grossing me out) seems like a weird move.

Yeah even if Ramsey was honestly a standup guy who would have treated Sansa well, Littlefinger sending his most precious political chip to the Boltons made zero sense. By Littlefinger's own admission, Sansa is/was the key to the North. Why wouldn't he marry her himself, use his recently acquired loyal Vale Knights to go reclaim her birthright and install her as Queen/Warden of the North, and then have both the North and the Vale in his pocket? Plus he'd get to bang his replacement for Cat as a bonus.

Jeb! Repetition posted:That's probably what he does in Winds of Winter. In the books he explicitly ruled out marrying/loving Sansa himself and plans to marry her to Harry the Heir. It has to be said that he is much more self-aware in the books, where he recognizes the fact that everyone sees him as a ruthless schemer and sees the value of having public support - in contrast to the show where he seems to think that backstabbing a popular ruler makes you the next popular ruler... then again, that seems to be the rule in the show.

I read somewhere that they wrote season 5 as they were filming, so maybe they planed on having LF ride in to aid Stannis and rescue Sansa, which would have made at least some sense, but changed their mind for reasons unknown. It's like the Arya in Braavos plot, which too could have ended a season early, but didn't. GaussianCopula fucked around with this message at 10:51 on Aug 5, 2017 |
