Khal Drogo is still alive right

That actor's role in GOT made him right? Because he got popular really fast, or did he do something before that

Häng on, the children of the forest created the white walkers, but THEN fought them together with the first men? Cave painting excursion had me confused for a second.

Also, the Lannisters were the richest house in westeros for hundreds of years, until the crown borrowed stupid amounts of gold from them, before they, in turn also spent stupid amounts of gold AS the de facto royal family, to the point where they iron bank ludicrous amounts of gold, and then somehow the Tyrells had enough cash in their vaults to pay off the entirety of the crown's debt?

The children created the white walkers to fight off man originally, but they were beyond the children's control so they ended up teaming with man to fight back.

Also the crown had been making payments on the debt it isn't like they had defaulted at any point.

I think it was ambiguous in the show but the crown is definitely in default in the books.

Yeah, between the crown owing the Lannisters a fuckton of money, and Tyrion saying the gold mines of Casterly Rocks had run dry several years ago, and that the Lannisters themselves were heavily in debt to the iron bank, it really seemed to me that they'd been running red numbers for a long while, and the only reason the iron bank never collected was their backing of the crown for power reasons.

Speaking of the iron bank backing someone for power reasons, was it ever brought up by the Lannisters that the iron bank backed Stannis to essentially overthrow them?

The Lannister gold was going to the Tyrells to buy food and keep Kings landing fed. It's the same money.

That tease with Nymeria was complete bullshit but I guess it just means she's gonna show up and save Arya at some point. Why else would they even bother. Also holy gently caress that bit where misandei was like "Oh lol it could mean prince OR princess" was loving painfully stupid

Nymeria's scene could've just been fan service. The books had several mentions of a direwolf leading a pack of normal wolves and wrecking poo poo.

This is what I'm clinging to.

There's some theorycrafting on the return of syrio and how he's Jaquen, and my girlfriend sent me a video a friend of hers was chewing her ear off over, which involves some elaborate theory on how Tyrion is actually going to ride a dragon alongside dany, but I haven't gotten around to watch it yet, because lol

Arya says "no one" taught her how to fight. So is groupthink that it's a generic "no one" meaning he's another faceless man, but not the same one?

Yeah. Syrio taught her some basic stuff, but you can't say she was even close to being a real fighter when she left him. The faceless men were the ones that really taught her combat and turned her into a killer.

I'd love to see Syrio again but they just didn't make a big enough fuss of his char to imply to me he'll be coming back or anything. Plus the show was still early on and they were probably still figuring out some timeline stuff idk

The faceless men taught her how to use a stick with both hands. Everything she did with Needle against Brienne was water-dancer stuff. Edit: I wonder if Syrio's face was on the wall in the background at some point as a clue.

Syrio didn't teach her poo poo about how to use a knife nor was he able to instill in her the durability to take a kick from brienne to the chest. Although we only saw her fighting with a stick in the house of b&w and when she was on the street, it's pretty safe to assume there was a lot more training that went on. Syrio taught her basic swordplay, but she learned to fight from the faceless men.

Exactly. Syrio was basically a pop-warner coach. You learn some basics and fundamentals, but you really don't learn football till you get to higher levels.

You're almost certainly right, but it is all assumption. You declare that something that didn't happen on screen didn't happen at all (and you're probably right, he didn't teach her knife work). Then you assume that the faceless men taught her everything even though none of it was shown on screen.

Agreed, disappointing as it is that he didn't do some weird wooden sword fuckery and escape the Red Keep.

This really doesn't mean anything. Her performance at that point was just to move her from point A to point B. The story needed her to go to Braavos and the House of Black and White or whatever, so she needed to be awful.

Syrio is a faceless man; eventually Ari will rip off her face revealing Syrio... Syrio will rip off his face revealing Ned Stark. Ned Stark will rip off his face revealing George RR Martin...

Theorycrafting aside, the scene with Arya and Brienne was choreographed and filmed SO MUCH BETTER than that hilarious sandsnake scene in the water gardens. It's still kinda obvious that a lot of the cutting is done to make Arya seem more proficient in combat than the actor is, but it's still leagues above that bumblefuckery in the water gardens.

Of course it means something. This is a bizarre and pointless thing to argue dude. You can't just arbitrarily decide that poo poo she's seen doing doesn't mean anything because it doesn't fit your lame-rear end fanfic.
