There are people who started reading this series when they were just entering middle age who are dead of old age now.

In one of the Bad Threads we went through and talked about all that has changed in our lives between Tyrion chapters. That was years and years ago though. Might be fun to talk about whats changed since the last book came out since its almost been another decade.

Shelby Foote is a great military historian but is seriously lackluster when it comes to all the political events, which ultimately are infinitely more important to understanding the Civil War. He's also a borderline Lost Causer.

So this doesn't bode well.

I thought I saw or read somewhere that Foote thinks the north basically beat the south with one arm tied behind it's back. That had the north not been dealing with other poo poo at the same time it would have been a much shorter war.

Let's address that Lysa is a Tully and thus not from a magic family.

The magic is in their poor decision making. It's so strong they sexually transmit it to others (Jon Arryn, Ned, Littlefinger, etc).

I'd be shocked if they didn't manage to handle the entire premise with the care and compassion they have shown in their work on GoT. It's going to be an amazing show full of poignant parallels to our own current society and is going to affect social change on the same scale as GoT did for incest porn.

Who would be next in the line of succession if not Cersei? Both Robert's brothers are dead with no kids and all his own kids are dead. I think the queen starts a new line at that point right?

I don't know. If a crazy woman with her own army just blew up a huge chunk of town and then said, "I'm queen" I don't think anyone would say otherwise. Seems pretty realistic to me. Also I'm pretty sure there is no more small council.

Think they're gonna kill Gray Worm this season or next? I think it'll be this season and that's why they jammed the love scene in here. I think it's just a minor enough death of a semi-regular character that could have gotten missed in what appears to be completely accurate leaked spoilers. Plus, they need to kill someone we care about each season and Thoros ain't gonna do it.

This Targaryan Reconquista will probably enter the books of history as the most unsatisfying war ever fought.

By the way, how could Varys not know the Lannisters weren't in Casterlyrock? Or that the Greyjoys might actually do something useful and burn down the rest of the Armada? Or that Casterlyrock is super loving useless anyways?

I can see that Danaerys is not particularly good at this war thing, but at least her advisors and officers should have some idea that the enemy usually does not wait for you to arrive and do your plan.

think Varys lost his Westeros spy ring to Qyburn.

This one is basically proven false, right? Jorah says he's going to join Dany, not go North, and it doesn't seem like Sam is going anywhere.

There's episode by episode spoilers if you click my latest probation that seem even more accurate. I'd post them, but I'm on my phone.

So how did he get the "Snow." Did Ned just say, "Yeah, he was born in the north" even though most of the war was in the Crownlands so logically he'd be a Waters?

She's not very good at any of those titles either. I guess "Mother of Dragons" still stands, but even that seems a bit of a stretch. She's used them like, what, twice for anything worthwhile? Killing one dude to get her dickless army and then to torch some boats.

They will probably make sure to put Jaime in the "next episode preview" just to make sure people know he isn't dead.

...Or they won't, to make people wonder. May be kind of fun to watch the internet agonize for a week over it.

If they were gonna kill him then they wouldn't have knocked him into water instead of being blazed by fire. Thats just bad storytelli.......yeah, maybe he's dead.

Bravos, day, the Iron Bank

*The Night King enters the Iron Bank with Jon, both look bewildered

Jon: Let me do the talking. They'll never give us the gold to save the Youth Center if you do the talking.
Night King: [stares]

*Tycho enters

Tycho: Welcome to the Iron Bank.
Jon: Thank you for meeting us, we're looking...
T: I know what you're looking for Jon Snow. You're planning on paying off the debt of the Youth Center's previous owners. We know all about your intentions.
NK: [stares]
Jon: Yes, we think that with the right...
T: Well you didn't think of one thing....Old Man Hasserfast has already bought out and shut down your Youth Center and is going to turn it into a private resort!
J: You can't do that! We have just as much right to this land as they do!
*Old Man Hasserfast enters with his son Todd
Todd: Face it Snow! You're done here! Done!
Jon: This isn;t fair at all!
NK: [stares]

We really didn't dwell on how loving stupid it is for Randyll to switch sides, Jaime's arguments were wholly unconvincing.

"The Tarly name means something! I won't switch sides!"

switches sides and immediately gets wrecked. Winds up in front of Dany next episode.

"The Tarley name means something! I won't switch sides!"

In the Books, though, it's made more explicit that she's just becoming an even worse version of Robert (fat, drunk, incompetent) which, while kind of tedious, at least makes more sense as a character arc than...whatever Show Cersei has got going on.
