Weren't they supposed to be elder spirits or some poo poo like that ? Since they could talk and lived for 1000's of years ? You should know more. Tolkien borrowed them from scandinavian mythology

I like the theory that Jamie is going to end up being the big hero because the fans investing in John Snoo and Dany Dragons are going to flip out.

Who are they supposed to be raping and slaving, the ashes of the Lannister army?

yes, they would skull gently caress the survivors.


Decebal posted:

The Dothraki's raping, slaving ways seem to be glossed over every time.

I guess it's their culture and we shouldn't judge

maybe she made them stop because she burnt all their leaders to death instead of getting gang raped to death.

Hey what the gently caress. I finally watched eps 3 and 4 last night. Not one goddamn person on my Facebook feed was upset that Cersei raped Jamie. I think it was in ep 3... She goes after him in the bedroom and he very explicitly said "NO" and she has sex with him anyway. Why didn't the internet care about this shameful double standard?

hurt

Knocked out of the way (presumably by Bronn or Dick-on) of Drogon's blast into a nearby stream, but he's in armor, has one good arm, and one made of gold strapped to him and he was last seen sinking.

So exactly why would Winterfell be turning stragglers away at this point? I get why the guards would refuse to bring Arya to Lady Stark directly, but every urchin they turn out into the cold is just another potential zombie. If you think she's a spy, then lock her up, but don't make more enemies for yourself.

He raped her on Joffrey's casket so this is just showing that this show values gender equality.

Between seasons I watched all of Ripper Street, which as far as I can gather all Game of Thrones actors are bound by some sort of ancient curse to appear in at some point.

So if you've ever wanted to see Police Detective Bronn stop Hodor from kidnapping children while being undermined at every turn by Benjen Stark, give it a shot.

I hope Euron's fleet warps back and he crushes Drogon and Dany with his boarding ramp thing, then saves Jaime from drowning with some drowned god bullshit and impresses Cersei even more and we finally get the finger in the bum scene (with cersei, not jaime to be clear).

Always remember, when refuelling your dragon, all dragons take unleaded petrol.

To refuel, look for the fuel cap on the left hand side of the dragon, behind its back leg.

We recommend you use unleaded-xp for that extra efficiency and to keep your dragon running longer.

THE GREAT MANBABY SUCCESSOR

ElGroucho posted:

The Ice Zombies is the most boring part about the whole series. The politics and war are fun enough without adding all the zombie bullshit. I think the dragons are lame too. The less magical poo poo is happening, the more entertained I am.

I'm just gonna dredge this back up because when ever a ASoIaF discussion comes up I basically reach this conclusion. I think that this whole series was at its most exciting when GRRM and the writers couldn't just fall back on ice zombies or dragons or whatever magic to add excitement and tension to the scene. And you can see it as the books go on. Game of Thrones is all about dangerous medieval political intrigue. Clash of Kings is about how hard underclasses get hosed in wartime. Storm of Swords goes full on battle royal. Then it all get flushed down the shitter in Feast and Dance because fantasy nerds just can't handle not having dragons or zombies. Better when it was just :black101: people getting brutally murdered medieval style.

And now I think that GRRM realizes that anything he writes for the next books will basically be compared to the show (or more likely undercut the show) and he's completely hosed for whatever his original vision was (not sure he even had an ending in mind).

Also :agreed: with the gods thing. If there's one "magic" plot device I'll give this series it's that the resurrection from the fire dude and the witch who owned Drogo in the first book were good ways of showing what a high price you paid for trying to magic your way out of a problem.
