Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
So is it Brienne's job to wash the kings rear end and change his clairvoyant diapers or whatever? This was a critical part of the lore that they glossed over.

Imagine being Brienne, earning all this respect against men your entire life, only to end up nursemaid to a crippled psychic that knows exactly when he's going to poo poo himself and does it anyway when he could just as easily tell you and avoid a mess.

Or maybe she makes Pod do it.

I don't think its fair to blame the acting, if you get handed a sheet that says "pee pee la la la cocks and bad pussies pfblblblblbl (while hopping around on one foot)" you can only do so much.

Maybe you could've written something there, about that whole situation there.

e: right, he didn't kill her in the show because the showrunners production assistant walked in and told them it would be kill if someone else did.
e2: apparently I misremembered the books so he didn't kill her, but he was partly responsible, you get my point.

Ya but why would the other house leaders agree to being ruled. If anything it should've fragmented instantly since Bran has no one backing him besides the north.

Especially Dorne and the Iron Islands. They should've peaced out so fast.

No thats the elector counts but for idiots thing. None of these families have anything to gain by kneeling to central authority, and there are no external threats to them whatsoever that puts pressure on them to do so. Elector counts was at least based out of the fact that in the HRE there were so dang many princes that yeah it made sense to collectively band together to avoid other princes conquering you and the defend agains the french.

Here in westeros, which is basically european Japan as far as social order goes, theres no reason all of these people wouldnt nope out immediately.

It'd be like if Tom Bombadil in LOTR got introduced per normal, sang a goofy song, and then showed up at the end at Mount Doom and snatched the ring with a clever hand trick that involved switching it to the other hand and everyone cheered, even Gollum. That's basically Bran except there are a few more cameos in his case.

I mean they did peace out. After everyone has been devastated by like seven straight years of war up and down the country, why wouldn’t they just put a weakass dude in charge? What are they going to get by fighting more? Everyones forces are exhausted, all the original claimants to the throne are dead, all the second tier claimants are also dead, the throne itself is fuckin dead, the only other guys with any claims got out on the bus. the kingdom is already partitioned and is obviously set up to fragment further, Bran’s not having any kids and having the nobility choose his successor is just a kicking of the can that will give everyone time to rally for the next civil war.

It wouldnt have been hard to move around the battle against the night king to this part if they wanted to keep status quo. Have the night king raiding poo poo in the background, the family leaders rushing here to demand cersei do something about all this poo poo, daeny nuke it because I will be queen alone gently caress your institutions which makes the people panicking about ice king merc her as well then in panic elect a new king to rule competently long enough to get them through war with the night king but lacking heirs.

Or do this, this really loving stupid thing

Also fuckin lol that they made a big point of hammering that white horse poo poo with Arya last episode and did nothing with it.

here goes Arya, trained killer, personification of death and servant of the Many Faced God of Death, riding away on a white horse (like the one Death rode upon in the Bible, get it?), I bet she's about to go take care of Danny herself

But nope, just needed a ride to this week's episode.
