I really enjoy that there was no soap opera drama about convincing Gendry and he was just like "gently caress yeah lets ride" from before Davos even said anything

Strom Cuzewon posted:I think this sums up this season so well. The gang of varied characters all teaming up to fight evil is the exact kind of Wheel of Time bullshit that GRRM deliberately avoids. But I don't care how dumb it is, because we get the Hound and Thormund fighting Wights. What's your excuse going to be when this ends up being in the books too?

I wonder who the head of house Tarly is now. Dickon and Randyll are dead and Sam had to give up his rights to the house when he took the black so I guess some uncle or something is in charge now.

It would be his sister('s fiance, once she marries him), perhaps with the mom interim ruling as a dowager since there's literally no one else right now. Except Sam ultimately having his claim re-instated is far more likely than having her show up again, let alone casting the dude in question, so don't worry about it, it's going to be Sam.

They're going to set it up like Daenerys is going to allow Sam to reclaim his rights as heir of House Tarly And then Dany will pull a Joffrey on him, remind him that he abandoned the Watch AND betrayed the trust of the Citadel, stealing precious works from the Maesters' library in the process, and for that he will burn. Reduced to a smoldering grease fire on the floor of the throne room. Tyrion and Varys exchange sidelong "Oh, brudder" glances. Cue the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme, credits.

Rickon and Osha were so throwaway that it was like, tragically obvious they were just gonna die. tooterfish posted:She's just done the exact same thing that got her father, a man people said was mad, deposed... for being mad. I was sad that they never mentioned that the Tarlys stood with her father. Thought that would've counted for something.

I thought it was a little dumb that Jaime insisted that no army could beat the Dothraki. They routed the Lannister army but that was because they got surprised by a loving mythical creature burning up their formation and letting the cavalry get behind them. They have plenty of weaknesses (arguably more than the Westerosi, since they rely so heavily on horse-combat), it's not like Jaime to be so defeatist.

She's actually portrayed as morally the worst person on the show even before this episode where she's burning POWs alive and two of the top good guy characters are talking to each other about how cruel and psychotic she is. Realistically speaking, the manner of execution was horrifying but the execution itself was not, by the standards of the medieval ages. She had three choices, really. Prison, exile, or execution. She doesn't have the resources for prisons, nor does she really believe in them, and the end game of a prison stay if they don't relent is execution anyways. Exile (to the Wall) was offered and refused. Not to mention these are men who betrayed their liege (Lady Olenna, one of Dany's vassals) and were still given the shot to renounce Cersei (who murdered his liege (Mace Tyrell, technically) and his family and took the throne pretty illegally) and join Dany. Yes, her actions are worrisome given that she's trying to portray herself as better than the others, not to mention the method of execution was very Mad King-esque. But fundamentally I don't think any other lords would bat an eye at what she did, only the matter of how she did it. Fundamentally she is slipping down the dark path a bit but the targets of her malice are still valid targets. She isn't burning innocents... yet.

It would have been hilarious if they had chosen to go to the Wall and got stuck fighting an army of undead people and giants. I can just see Randyll "I should have taken the dragon..."

The problem really is that she, and possibly the show, is trying to portray herself as a better than the previous ruling class. If she just rolled up with the dragons and went "nice continent, hand it over or else" it would make total sense. Giving fancy speeches about breaking the wheel and then burning people alive is going to raise a few eyebrows.

FooF posted:I was under the assumption that Dany's womb got nuked by black magic in Season 1. She's been infertile the entire time she's been conquering, hence her attachment to the dragons as her "children." Second, Jon's ability to produce a kid may be in question since his death. It's possible that the cost to bring him back was his ability to procreate. i was thinking about this and it could play into that whole bittersweet ending thing. Westeros finally finds some stability under Targaryen rule again but because neither of the rulers can procreate, another succession crisis will inevitably loom (as was common in real life). History is all cycles mannnn

One thing I've always really liked about the show and the books is the not-often-mentioned but super-important relationship between Lyanna and Rhaegar. There's an entire story there that's fleshed out but not written. Rhaegar is prince and married, but falls in love with Lyanna, who is meant for Robert. They're married and he steals her away, Robert explodes and starts the rebellion and wins, Rhaegar is killed in battle, Lyanna dies giving birth to their only child. It sets in motion everything in Game of Thrones but the story itself is only alluded to and hinted at. You really get the sense that Robert was the bad guy all along.

Need we remind you those ahole Tarly were stealing food from peasants the prior episode even if off screen. They were the wheel. Also I can't believe they did the washed up down river and escaped thing. Why didn't the whole army jump in the river and float away.

In fact everyone was surprisingly happy to skip the smalltalk and just get on with the bit where six bad rear end bros (and Jorah) go off together and smash some zombies.

Well, Rhaegar stealing away Lyanna certainly starts the tensions, but its the Mad King Aerys who makes the war really break out. After Lyanna was "kidnapped" by Rhaegar, Brandon Stark and some others rush to Kings Landing to confront Rhaegar but he isn't there (he's off ostensibly getting an annullment and marrying Lyanna and doing lots of boning). Brandon stark makes some ill advised remarks about wanting to kill Rhaegar and Aerys is having none of that and arrests him and calls the fathers to court to stand trial. Some pretty brutal executions by the Mad King and demands for more start the Rebellion in full force. It's really Aerys who was the bad guy, everyone else was of poor temper (including Rhaegar for not controlling his dick) but not totally out of line.

Bigass Moth posted:Why couldn't Dany give them one dragon to take to the North since we (know)? that dragon's fire can kill white walkers? The implication in the show thus far is that Dany can't just tell her dragons "go do this" and have them listen. She needs to physically be there to control them. That's part of the reason she doesn't just fight every battle with dragons, it's a risk every time since she has to accompany them.
