Why would they call the other Starks Prince or Princess? Robert's brothers weren't Princes, they were Lords of House Baratheon. Jon doesn't have any kids so there are no Princes or Princesses of the North atm. Robb had a crown when he first declared himself King in the North.

Edit: I don't know if you're referring just to the show. I don't actually remember if Robb wore a crown in the show but they definitely make a point of him wearing a bronze crown in the books (which ends up with Lady Stoneheart when she's hanging everyone in the Riverlands).

Didn't they call Bran "Prince" after Robb became King in the North? They did in the books, but like I said, it doesnt really matter, just a spergy point. And yeah, Robb totes has a cool crown, all the kings in the War of the Five Kings have crowns. In the books (spergy). Just wondering why only the Baratheons and Euron get crowns in the show......


I realize this is a petty and unimportant thing

Both the archers and Jamie went for the dragon instead of the unarmored lady in a dress on it's back.

military archers aren't picking out individual targets when they fire in formation like that.

also, I'm pretty sure Jaime was charging for Dany, cause he's gotta know that if she dies the war's over. dragon just got wise to it.

of course it's all bullshit because a horse isn't going to charge into a wall of shields bristling with spears, much less at a giant angry dragon

Actually irl horses are insanely horny for dragons and the biggest challenge in filming the scene was stopping ALL the horses from charging.

why did danerys blow up all the food? I'd be pissed as hell if I renounced my comfortable existence as a desert raider just to end up starving because the dumbass queen would rather explode wagons full of grain instead of the soldiers that are trying to kill me. time to take dany out. also she is too dumb to have some basic armor made for herself or her dragons, not even a saddle. the way to go would be to make some thick plate for the dragons' vital parts or maybe just stick to dropping barrels of that green stuff from 2000 ft. war over.

I disagree. I think it showed that he wasn't an idiot and valued his life over all else. It is consistent with his character and his fighting style since the beginning. Live to fight another day or something like that. Isn't that what he said to Tyrion in S1?

you may be right, but if he valued his life over all else, wouldn't he have just run away like he was saying to jaime earlier? and he was specifically running away from the gold and towards a fight with a dragon. seemed like a pretty honorable thing to do, and you know when bronn starts acting honorably, he's got one foot in the grave for sure

this was dumb as hell, but hey maybe she was just burning the front and rear of the convoy to box the rest in, i dunno. probably not. dany thinks tactics are things you put in your mouth to freshen your breath, but there won't be any consequences for it so whatever :shrug:

I think Jon is going to bend the knee for Dany. He gonna get on his knees and eat that fiery dragon pussy.

Also, this show is bad.

Bran is an autist twatsnoggler. Arya got real dumb when she got back to winterfell.

Everything about this season is bad. The writers really have turned to poo poo. Only 9 episodes to go and then this poo poo is dunzo. RIP gurm. RIP GoT. RIP HBO.

The show runners are indeed so incredibly dumb. Since watching on a friends hbo account we've been letting the post-episode stuff play and the two guys just talk into the camera reiterating the most obvious poo poo we in the audience just watched.

"For the cave scene John takes Danaerys to see the cave paintings where the children of the forest teamed up with the first men to defeat the white walkers in order to convince her that they should work together to defeat the white walkers. We also wanted to increase the tension by having them stand close together in this scene."

"Also I bet you just couldn't decide which side you wanted to win the battle" said an idiot who calls the Queen of Dragons, Dany hoping desperately she will gently caress him.

I kinda feel they shot their wad w/ the ballista. Now Dany knows about them. I could have seen one of the dragons getting shot down and killed as a surprise. Not any longer.

They shoulda just built 500 ballistas to counter the dragons and Dany should have just built dragon armor for her dragons so the ballistas couldn't hurt them and then the lannisters should have put green fire bombs on the ballistas to counter that and then Dany should have asked Goku for help and Goku would have blown away the entire lannister army and then the lannisters should

I hope that the dragons have a limited amount of flammable liquid. Since they're going for realism with them instead of having Lord of the Rings type dragons.

Those other 2 seem to be lost in the ether since Dany won't train them to accept another rider. She could have 3 dragons breathing fire instead of just 1
