Yeah. It was originally going to be 7 seasons but I think they hosed up season 5 so badly that they then realized oh poo poo we wasted an entire season on absolutely nothing, we don't have enough time to get this done in 2 seasons. So then they spend all of season 6 digging themselves out of the hole they got into in season 5 and now the show seems back on track (mostly).

Lots of things happened in season 5, like Tyrion killing....wait, no, that was 4...
Cersei took control of......wait, no, that was 6......
Danerys went to the Dothr....wait, no, that was 6 too....

hmm, are we sure there was a season 5?

In the books Aegon the Conqueror's slamsister rode the dragon Meraxes, who was brought down by a scorpion bolt in Dorne. Like 300 years before the events of the show.

I guess nobody in the show is smart enough to know any history except Qyburn, who pretends he figured it out by himself.

Cersei is pretty dumb and will think he's a genius.

What are the chances she is now forced to marry Euron, and Euron completely runs the tables on her, locking her in a tower or something and assuming all control for himself - forcing Jamie to step in?

The Kings who forfeited their crown to Aegon the conqueror really didn't have to give up much except their titles. They maintained their own laws, customs, and area of control. The ruling houses were basically kings in all but name. Aegon didn't really want to rock the boat after the conquest. His grandson, King Jaehaerys I, was the one who made some sweeping law changes.

Most of them made sense and had to do with justice / law enforcement and he was a cool King so the ruling houses didn't put up much of a fuss. The customs of the North remained relatively unchanged. The only big one was the elimination of "first night" where the ruling lords got to bang whatever new bride they wanted. The Starks were forced to give the "new gift" to the Night's watch, which apparently they didn't mind much at all because it was an area they didn't want to deal with anyway.

I don't think Jon gives a poo poo if Dany wants to be queen of the world. He's going to use her desire as leverage to get help against the White Walkers and promise to kneel before her once it's all over with.

Targ's are super-inbred. Dany's parents were siblings, and the Mad King's parents were also siblings. Her great grandfather was a normal and chill dude, who was brother to Aemon.

But yeah, all the inbreeding is why every other Targ is a big weirdo. Dany and Jon may be aunt / nephew - but they're probably closer genetically to brother and sister.

Straight up cousins isn't so bad, provided there isn't any other inbreeding which had already happened. Your chance at genetic defects are like 1% ish. FDR and Einstein both married their cousins.

I re-watched this past episode and realized that Emilia Clarke has 0 expressiveness in her eyes. She locks on to something and delivers her lines. This problem is more noticeable when her character is around good actors.

In case anyone is wondering:

Dany and Jon are aunt/nephew - which isn't too bad in this world as far as incest goes. HOWEVER, Dany and Rhaegar were much more closely related than your average siblings.

Dany and Rhaegar's mother and father were both full siblings. Their grandfather and grandmother were ALSO full siblings. Meaning that Dany and Rhaegar were 87.5% relation compared to typical siblings of 50%.

This means that Jon and Dany are ~44% relation, closer to siblings than regular aunt / nephew at 25%.

are we supposed to think highgarden had no armies left or that they got defeated offscreen? Did they spend all their meagre budget on the small casterly rock siege?

Mostly the latter part, but Randyll Tarly (Sam's dad) was with Jamie when they were marching on Highgarden. This implies that he took the bulk of the Reach forces under Olenna's rule and joined Jamie.

Does anyone else feel grief that Casterly Rock and Highgarden were run-of-the-mill castles and not at all like:

(first link on google, sorry it's gizmodo)

It is a bit excessive.

The Red Keep wasn't built until Maegor I (Aegon's son) was in power, so the Iron Throne was forged in the Aegonfort - which was much smaller and made of wood.



So how did they fit Balerion in there?

Dany is beginning to show signs of madness.

She was trying to do her normal preachy "I'm the rightful queen, I am destined, I am woman hear me roar, I have dragons" poo poo that worked in Mereen against the locals and basically anyone else she wants to put in their place. (Varys).

Her problem is that Jon was just like: "nah" You could see her soften the tone a bit when they were talking on the bridge / rampart. Next week once she hears that Jamie took out Olenna and that Casterly Rock was a big nothing-burger - she suddenly is going to realize that she wants 6-8 inches of snow in her 5 day forecast.

Mycroft seems like a bit of a dumb. First he gives $$ to Stannis. Now he is backing Cersei.

Davos convinced them that Cersei was a dumbass who would fumblefuck everything if she were in power.

As it stands right now, she is not. Dany's fleet is destroyed, her forces are far away and now isolated. Dorne and Highgarden have both been subdued, and Jon is completely uninterested in attacking the south. The only unknown factor at this point are the dragons, for which she has a countermeasure prepared. Also, there's likely some money plundered from the Tyrells, who are the richest family in Westeros. She will likely use this money to pay them off some.

Not to say she won't self-own, she absolutely will, but at this exact snapshot in time she's queen bitch of the world.

Makes no sense.

The Lannisters have had a decent size standing army since Season 1/2. Aside from a few losses to Rob, they've been good to go since then. They beat Stannis at Blackwater soundly, and have been doing peacekeeping work in the Riverlands since the Red Wedding.

Ramsay had his moments, but often he was just too drat serious about being cruel.

Euron is just having fun and killing people and capturing rivals and banging queens (he hopes). He verbally shits on Jamie right in the throne room in front of everyone, and he uses Gorehowl. He is a power hungry viking warlord pirate with more style than any villain we've had yet.

Euron owns.
