Waltzing Along posted:Why is the iron bank giving cersei $$$. It's a plot hole because unlike Stannis, who had victories, soldiers, and allies to back up his credentials to the Iron Bank, Cersei has absolutely nothing to offer them. Yet they have to back Cersei because the show wants to keep her relevant, despite how unbelievable Mycroft and his bros hedging their bets on her is. It's just dumb and goes against the Iron Bank's logic.

Panzeh posted:Pretty much every plot littlefinger took part in was instigated by and benefitted someone else far more than himself. LF as a blowhard makes sense to me. He has Lysa Arryn poison her husband unbeknownst to anyone except himself and Lysa which then kicks off a huge civil war that he carefully pulls the strings on after which he ends up being Lord Paramount of the Trident and de facto Lord Paramount of the Vale? The Vale also being pretty much the only place untouched by wars so far, too. I mean he went from being barely a noble with some little spit of land to one of if not the most powerful noble in the realm. COMRADES fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Aug 30, 2017 |

She's gonna marry Sir Harrold and then she and LF are going to kill Robin off. He's also the only one preparing for Dany's arrival what with requesting all the old Targaryen tapestries that Cersei has no problem sending him.

The iron bank ca be compared to that venetian or florentine bank that backed that dude who tried to conquer switzeland and died in the process. The entire bank collapsed as a result.

Didn't they lose the money from highgarden in the dragon attack? After iron bank dude broke the 4th wall about actually needing the money first and then the loot train gettibg owned I'm pretty sure cersei and euron are conning the iron bank Also reminder that it's euron's baby

Sansa should have kept littlefinger around and slowly started to puppeteer him without him knowing it. Send him south to make deals with the Lannisters a d put him in danger. Also, are Dorne and Highgarden just extinct now?

Dorne was sand snakes, crippley guy, axe bodyguard guy and like 3 palace guards. Highgarden after Cersei did 9/11 was one old lady and maybe 5 soldiers. Not sure why Danny bothered with them honestly.

The talk about how spread out they were was to show that the lannisters cared more about getting the gold to the city than the food. Of course burning the food doesn't mean any lannister will starve lol its a TV show.

Still it's dumb, years and years of debts going back to at least the start of Robert Baratheon's reign get paid off with one lump sum found under one castle? C'mon son. And then Olenna didn't think maybe to uh USE that gold at any point? "Hey Dany we have tons of gold stockpiled we can hire all of the free mercenary companies there are and the trip to Essos is shorter than the trip all the way around to Lannisport or even Dorne." e: Would be interesting if then Euron plundered it on its way back to the bank and Cersei goes "well we delivered the gold it's not our fault."

No I don't understand why you would willingly watch a show that you hate and then talk about how stupid it is and stupid other people are for enjoying it and then continue on about how you'd do a much better job than the talentless hacks who wrote the show, which you can find at least every couple of pages.

I wonder if the magic super winter will immediately end when the night king dies. It would be hilarious if they defeat the white walkers at the cost of millions of dead people, only for the survivors to die of starvation because Dany burned the wagon of food

I know this one is kinda dumb but it bugs me that the've switched actors out a few times. In one of the recent episodes Berric Dondarion tells Jon he knew his dad and that he had sent him out to arrest the Mountain. Right. But when you look at that scene in Season 1 it's a completely different guy and it bothers me.
