If you think D&D would have neglected to show their baby Tyrion having all his dreams come true by riding a dragon with a pretty girl, you haven't been watching the same garbage tv show as the rest of us.

Nope nothing about feet anywhere in the book or show.

Lots of food, rape, and incest across all of his work, though. Like tons of incest.

Has anyone checked his browser history for "stepmom/sister porn"?

"Appended to its own quotation is false" appended to its own quotation is false.
Those leaks seem very plausible for the show. Kind of sucks because I really don't like the direction they went with several things.

I'm still not completely convinced they're real, though. A few things don't quite seem legit, and The wild fire nuke in the dragon pit is amazingly stupid. Kind of seems like a, "Hmm, how can we kill off everyone else really quick, just for the sake of killing them off...oh yeah, wild fire!" sort of deal. Daenerys dying in child birth is incredibly lame, as is her then being hung up and pelted with poo poo postmortem. Lame as that is, though, it's absolutely something I could see the show and even GRRM doing. "Girl sold into slavery rises to become the Dragon Queen and sails forth to destroy the armies of the undead and retake her father's throne from usurpers...but oops! She died giving birth. Womp-womp. Oh, also they hang up her dead body and throw poo poo at it, lolol".

It still blows my mind that "bad pussy" is a line that was written by a professional writer, ok'd by a professional director, spoken by a professional actress and not cut out by a professional editor. There's probably more steps and more people involved, but the point is that somehow several presumably experienced and highly paid people agreed that "bad pussy" was something that should be said in one of the world's most popular TV shows.

They saw they could get away with "play with her arse" and were just trying to push the envelope.

I think people should accept that the inherent charade of GoT is probably very apparent to D&D and the writing team. They know it's stupid and are probably having fun with it.

"Play with her arse" was dumb but at least it sounds like something a sleazy brothel owner might say. I can't imagine anyone in the world actually saying the "bad pussy"-line.

You're right though that the writing team is probably just having fun putting out schlock at this point. They know they can get away with it because of ridiculously popular the show is, especially when they know it won't be running long enough for the general audiences to abandon it.

I don't have the link but basically the wall falls (in this weeks ep technically), the white walkers march on winterfell, everyone flees except the people who don't and die, bran gets rhaegal killed warging into it and gets murdered. fan favourites die trying to escape the north. The favourites hole up in the Eyrie to hold against the Night King. The NK is defeated because the white walkers aren't in the next (and final) episode at all but it didn't say how leading to the confrontation against the final enemy...

EURON GREYJOY

who finds a murdered Cersei (Arya did it) and doesn't give a gently caress and then he becomes the king of the seven kingdoms and Jon Snow and Jaime confront him with Drogon who blows up the rest of the wildfire in King's Landing and they all die too, leaving Jon and Dany's kid (Lyanna Targaryen) to rule once she's of age with Tyrion as King Regent.

The stinger at the end is that Bran's corpse is put on a thing in the Endless Winter land super far north and becomes the new Night's King.

Most importantly.

The Cleganebowl is the Mountain vs Sandor, Arya and Nymeria which is some fuckin' bullshit because it's the Cleganebowl not the Clegane and friendsbowl.

I will never stop being confused and angry that Dany became a feminist icon. She's a horrible, horrible, horrible person and character. Like I've always interpreted her and Jon as deliberate antitheses of one another; they are both Targ heirs, but one is constantly handed every advantage and thing they could need but, due to their own massive ineptitude, manages to gently caress it up and piss it all away, constantly somehow failing upwards into bigger and better disasters. While Jon, in contrast, has to struggle and fight and claw his way to success, constantly, and every time he wins gets the rug pulled out from under him. She loses every battle by her own fault but wins the war through luck/plot, while Jon wins every battle by his own skill but loses the war through luck/plot. Plus it makes her a sort of subversion of the chosen one/magic princess archetype to have her be this insane gently caress-up.

I mean, her entire character arc and plot is literally that she is going to bring an army of rapists and slavers with her to conquer a continent that at best doesn't know who she is and at worst actively hates her. And that's not even mentioning all the hints and signs that she is every bit her father's daughter.

Like I know there are lots of people, men and women alike, who look at Dany and somehow see an empowered heroine, I've had the displeasure of meeting some, but I don't loving get how anyone can be so stupid. She's a monstrous person and even if you think she means well (which involves directly ignoring her stated motivations) then the fact still remains that her entire legacy is literally death and ruin. Every single place she visited in Essos she left a smoking ruin, literally or metaphorically. Everywhere she goes she has literally left naught but death and ruin in her wake.

EDIT: And that's not even bringing up the Iraq Wars metaphors or the fact she's practically White Privilege: the character.

but they did go through a lot of trouble to arrange #WomenOnTop situations in seasons 5, 6 and 7, and seemed happy to accept the plaudits they got for it

can't see them reversing this so thoroughly in season 8
