Which was a problem because he couldn't get it up to gently caress his wife Margaery Tyrel and she had to suggest that Renly gently caress her brother and then just nut in her to make an heir.

Fitzy Fitz posted:all of Dorne was bi Well duh have you seen Doctor Bashir's relationship with Garak? DS9 managed to come up with a satisfying conclusion to their overwhelming enemy problem by specifically pointing out that the federation could not defeat the Dominion in a straight up fight, even with Klingon and romulan support. They went into every battle in the war with something like a 70% casualty rate and they only managed to drive the smallest foothold of Dominion territory out of the Alpha quadrant because the cardassians rose up in revolt and lost hundreds of millions in the process. The war only ended because Bashir had cured Odo's plague and they agreed to a ceasefire if Odo would return to the Founders and prevent another genocide. Make no mistake the Dominion would have won the war under any other circumstances and the federation nearly broke anyways. But anyways, yeah Doran Bashir Martell totes gay

I was pretty much over how poo poo the ending was, then I watched this reimagining of it - without adding any more episodes, and now I'm back to being properly mad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0mncEl4nVU Honestly worth a watch. Apart from a couple of minor nitpicky things I think he pretty much created a perfect version. (It's ~17 minutes long)

Theres fun explanations for the seasons. But why they picked an earth human year to could time with no basis is the weird bit.

The constellations and possibly crops would still follow standard years, though obviously the flora should be completely different to begin with. I'm willing to give this one a pass because alternate calendars are a pain in the rear end to keep track of.

Chomp8645 posted:A thousand years huh? Who wants to bet we're gonna see Star Wars levels of technological stagnation and the folks from a thousand years ago have exactly the same kind of weapons/armor/castles and such as the main series. well if they kept qyburn alive they prob woulda have gotten tanks in 10 years or so since he invented guided anti-air scorpions in between season 7-8. in 10 years but since he's dead it's believable to continual tech stagnation.

How the gently caress has nobody found America, people have boats in this world. I guess Arya has to find it so she can be the one to import syphilis to Westeros and Essos.

How does anyone believe in Rainbow God when the other religions have varying degrees of empirical evidence of miracles? The basic requirement to be an Ironborn priest is to be drowned to death and resurrected by the power of their spooky Dagon Cthulhu god or something. And the Bright God can also rez people, and make fire. Side note: why isn’t the 7 Faced God faith’s flag not just a rainbow pride flag?

In the books Renly's kingsguard has basically the gay pride flag as cloaks but it was cut from the show for being a bit on the nose. Then again, in the books it's not obvious that Renly is gay with Loras either, it's just subtext. Edit- so much so that my mom read the books on my recommendation (all in like, three months too, she went apeshit on them) and when I asked her afterwards if she picked up on it she said no. But honestly there is so much going on in the books it is hard to keep track. She also saw one or two episodes of season 6 and told me "it's a stupid show".

Randarkman posted:I mean there could just be ocean there like people originally thought in history. If the world's flat, it'll just end up being the east side of Essos which we already know is supposed to harbor super hosed up terrors and demons or whatever. Arya, of course, will simply be able to sneak up and murder them though.

I hope that it's just way too much ocean and that Arya dies of thirst on her voyage.
