There's a 4chan post about a NiceGuyTM who carried his printer two miles to a girl's house so he could do a favor and thus have a chat with her. She ignores him for other guys while he does the printing job at her computer.

He didn't even get a hug. :smith:

At least Ser Friendzone got the hug. :unsmith:

Also, to goonily correct you, she only ignored him for one guy, her boyfriend.

jorah being king of the friend zone doesn't make sense on the show. he's better looking than anyone she fucks. he made sense in the book because he looked like a goon.

Yeah, he was just some big hairy dude. Dany's big sticking point on not being with him was not finding him attractive. Like she has feelings for him but doesn't think he's fuckable.

So now that we know the NK is a load bearing boss and that Dany is gonna get pregs because she's mentioned a few times how she "can't", do you think Jon is going to die fighting the NK, will let the NK live (because it's Bran), or will become the NK? Because I think those are the only possible ways this ends if GRRM wrote it.

I know they're too old for the series, but I hope they figure out a way to work Sean Bean and Mark Addy in somehow. Maybe bookends or something, I dunno, but they were the best thing about season one and I'd love to get more of them. Definitely was not impressed by young Ned in the ToJ flashback and hope they recast.

Swole as gently caress Tom Hardy would be fine for young Robert though.

As someone with a vagina, the only gross view of gender in this show (to me) is the writers thinking that all you need for a strong female character is for her to be good at fighting and sass.

Arya's scenes the past three seasons would be about 100x more engaging if Hopkins, Mikkelson or Cox were playing her.

Just rewatched the episode and caught a hilarious little detail. In the rescue sequence, Jon looks to the right and then to the left to see wights getting blasted by dragonfire. One would think that Daenerys was being smart and carving a circle pattern in the lake around the island to prevent more wights from approaching but AHAHAHA season 7 and Daenerys out of all people, we can't expect her to do something smart.

I thought Dany meant he wasn't worthy. Sure he's a king but he's a bastard and so isn't a fit husband for a true queen.

She dumped the rogue in Mereen because she wanted to make allies in Westeros. What does an old guy without a title or a kingdom offer?

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.

Bates posted:

She left him there because the writers needed Jon to have a clear path to her pussy. If she wanted to make marriage alliances, she could already have offered one to either Jon, Robert Arryn, Euron, Jaime or even Dickon Tarly, but she didn't and seems to prefer the "kneel or roast" way of her father.

Additionally Dany is very passive when it comes to her sex life on the show. All her lovers have to come to her and take her instead of her seducing them. Jorah is simply to much of an beta to take the initiative, go into her rooms and take what he wants.
