If two grown men can't make a pervert happy for a few minutes in order to watch a film about zombies, then maybe we should all just move to Iran!

Now the show is an all-stars affair where nobody exists except for the stars. Houses apparently are made entirely of one single family, all their cousins are immediately killed off or something.

Early in the show its implied there's tons of Lannisters, now ... its literally just Cersei and Jaime.
Legitimate question because I keep seeing this argument, and I might be too dumb to understand it. Don't we currently have a royal family that really only consists of a few people that anyone would give a poo poo about? I get that there would technically be a ton of Lannisters and Starks and etc, but wouldn't there only be one immediate family per generation that anyone would care about? In a setting where a huge theme is "power resides in armies/wealth", I'm sure Bill Lanister might eventually technically be heir to the throne, but nobody would give a poo poo, and he'd probably just prefer to keep his head down being some minor lord of some small estate somewhere. Thus, it's just Jaime and Cersei.

It's just a comment on how there used to be a lot of interesting and compelling characters and now there are none

I get that argument 100%, and maybe I chose a poor time to discuss this - Typically it gets brought up when discussing things like the size of Westeros, the height of the wall, etc.

Well you're right wrt to the Lannisters, but you'd think the extended royal family would gain prominence if the main ones all died like with the Tyrells.

Unless they were all in the Sept.

Would they though? Who would challenge the Lanisters after they decimated the Tyrell army? Which second cousin would see Olenna killed and demand that, you see, technically they're in charge now? Because again, all the rules of who becomes king are window dressing. I'm sure someone will be picked, just to govern under the Lanisters, but the Tyrells effectively dying as a power with Olenna makes perfect sense to me. The Lanisters, after thousands of years as a house only having a few people that really matter makes sense to me. They breed like anyone else, but most of them just vanish into obscurity. :shrug:

Suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

Seriously, what the hell was that? It was literally one scene ago they showed bronn surrounded by a huge army at highgarden, then one scene later he is at King's Landing? Are they not planning on resolving highgarden?
