GRRM did write something:quote:The passageway Arianne had chosen for herself turned steep and wet within a hundred feet. The footing grew uncertain. Once she slipped, and had to catch herself to keep from sliding. More than once she considered turning back, but she could see Ser Daemon’s torch ahead and hear him calling for Elia, so she pressed on. And all at once she found herself in another cavern, five times as big as the last one, surrounded by a forest of stone columns. Daemon Sand moved to her side and raised his torch. “Look how the stone’s been shaped,” he said. “Those columns, and the wall there. See them?”

The reason is: the shot of the dragon flying in with the Dothraki was cool. But I know tactical realism is more important than Rule of Cool for some people for dragon battles.

lezard_valeth posted:It's...weird? It started snowing in the Vale by season 4, and there was a lot of snow during s5 Winterfell, but then come s6 the Bastardbowl happens on green muddy fields, and the next episode is snowtown again. Even in the book, it's a lot colder at the Eyrie because of elevation.

I don't think it would make sense for them to handwave their responsibility to go protect who would otherwise be the legal king, Viserys. I think "they were just following Rhaegar's orders" is GRRM misdirection.

esperterra posted:After Viserys, Aegon would be next in line anyway, His face was smushed though. Before all the deaths, there were four Kingsguard in King's Landing, so they didn't need to be there then. It wouldn't make sense to me to leave King Viserys III with zero Kingsguard, no matter their previous orders. Lycus fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Aug 10, 2017 |

Sydin posted:So it was a couple pages back people were talking about it, but I went back and watched the scene where Davos puts Gendry in the boat and he actually tells Gendry to follow the coast and get back to King's Landing. Gendry's all "uh the Gold Cloaks are kind of looking for me..." but Davos handwaves it by saying they don't know his face. So I guess there's a reason for Davos to expect Gendry might still be hanging around there, albeit a dumb one. "Gendry" was killed years ago on the Kingsroad. And they never knew what he looked like. And the king who sent them is long dead. It's not like they have DNA or retinal scans in Westeros. Edit: He spent a whole season in a Lannister military camp no problem. King's Landing is no big deal. Lycus fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Aug 10, 2017 |

The Second Sons' battles were off-screen. They captured Yunkai after Daario 1.0, Jorah and the Worm had their fight scene, fought at the Meereenese port when Dany took Meereen and they re-captured Yunkai between S4 and S5. And we saw harpies kill some Second Sons.

If GRRM ever writes more books and introduces a leader for the Others, he may very well call him the Great Other, which they can't use in the show. Find + replace.

The White Walkers' wight-raising is kinda perfect if you're being short-sighted. Numbers are the one big advantage humans had over the Children.

Solice Kirsk posted:Not as cool as everyone immediately knowing the Night King is the Night King and referring to him as such. Could have thrown a "he's the Night King from the tales" or something, but nah, everyone just immediately knows the Night King and what/who he is with 0 mention of him before. Needing a scene where Jon explains to his circle why he's decided to call him a generic term like the Night King feels too hand-holdy to me.
