Euron doesn't gently caress around does he? Sorry not sorry to see the Sand Snakes go. I was kinda bummed that Yara bought it too, but thinking back she and her fully armed and armoured warband did run away from a solitary naked man, so I guess her abilities might've been a tad overstated. bawfuls posted:Yeah but she's the only one who grew up a Targ and with that idea maybe normalized. Jon isn't going to find out he's a Targ and then all of a sudden be like "ok cool that means incest is chill sign me up!" If he's going to do the incest thing, well...

NorgLyle posted:Similarly, I've never quite understood how Roose Bolton ended up consolidating the armies of the North after the Red Wedding. Even if people didn't know he had a hand in it, the other houses were all fired up to fight the Lannisters and support the King in the North but now that Rob is dead well we'll just go ahead and bend the knee to the same King we were in open revolt against a week ago and fight his enemies for this guy who was mysteriously not murdered along with all the other people (including our own family members) at the Twins. So any loyal houses were left divided and leaderless, and the Boltons were already more powerful than any of them individually. Also unlike Dorne we did get to see them consolidating their power, Ramsay was flaying alive any fucker who wouldn't bend the knee.

It wasn't exactly the best lit scene, it only lasted a few seconds, her face is turned away from the camera, and she's wearing the same "generic beige with random leather" costume every other loving character does. It's not a difficult mistake to make, and I'm not sure it quite justifies galloping around on a 20 foot high horse.

Poor Grey Worm. He's stuck on the wrong side of the continent with no ships, no supplies and nothing but 1000 miles of hostile territory between him and safety. His march home's gonna make Xenophon's wee jaunt look like a walk in the park on a summer's day.

Xealot posted:I liked Jon and Dany's meeting because it successfully highlighted what's lovely about both of them. Dany is an arrogant, grand-standing child-tyrant and Jon is a frowning dolt who can barely communicate. Dany beats off her 30 titles and demands fealty from nothing, while Jon refuses to explain who he is or what he wants with any conviction or clarity whatsoever. It perfectly encapsulated how they'd see each other at first meeting, and did a good job of demonstrating why their advisors matter. Tyrion, because he's able to speak plainly to backwater Northmen who despise protocol, and Davos because he's fantastic at wing-manning kings who are the absolute worst at marketing. If they do end up boning I feel especially sorry for Ser Friendzone. Jon took his sword, and then his waifu? Man, that's harsh.

QuoProQuid posted:More recently, the Targaryen and Stark relationship has been rocky. From Dany's perspective, the Starks led a rebellion against her father, killed her entire family, supported a usurper who led the country into civil war, and sent assassins to kill her and her brother. It seems doubtful that Dany would allow the Starks to skip away without any consequences. Dany can get hosed. Robert wasn't an usurper, he was a god-tier bro who went to war because the mad king took massive loving liberties with his friends and nearly everyone else turned a blind eye. I'm glad he smashed Rhaegar's head in, he deserved it!

Scooter_McCabe posted:So my theory is she hooks up with Jon and gets preggers. Now no Targ wife has survived child birth from a Targ husband. Not knowing Jon is another Targ that baby is a time bomb. She the baby comes she's dead. Likewise there will be no king in the north since Jon being raised from the dead probably means he is susceptible to the Night King's powers. So Jon has to be killed after he gets turned. Jamie will likely kill Cersi. What you will have left over is the Hand's for each King and they are pretty level headed minus Qyburn. So they will probably form some sort of Republic or representative council. I can't see Jon being susceptible to the Night King's influence either, not if we take the Lord of Light's opposition to the Others at face value anyway. Being brought back to life and being undead aren't quite the same thing.

LinkesAuge posted:This is a society based on the realities of a medieval society which means there is no prison till end of life, it's pretty much either being let go or death sentence. Whatever. Lets analyse this poo poo: The guy Ned executed was a proven deserter of the Night's Watch, and the law is very clear about what you do with those. It was a duty Ned performed reluctantly, but he was honour bound and at least he made a point of performing it quickly and cleanly. The guy who Dany burned had committed no crime. He had the misfortune of being a former slave master in a city where some former slave masters were causing Dany trouble. That's it. Dany didn't even care if any of those people were her guys or not, she rounded them up and then chose one of them completely at loving random to be burned alive. Your waifu is a lunatic. Sorry bud.

Yeah, she was parrying the blows sideways with the strong of her blade. That looked totally fine. And ironically, Gwendolin Christie swinging a sword like it's a baseball bat goes without comment. Although to be fair, nearly everyone else on the show does too.

Game of Thrones isn't really set in a time period. Like most fantasy, it's an ahistorical mish mash based on mostly on stereotypes and misinformation (i.e. bullshit).Perestroika posted:The dynamic where you regularly cart poo poo to the army from all the way back in your home territory didn't really take off until about the napeoleonic era. Put it this way, the legionaries didn't build all those roads because Romans have a gravel fetish. And contrary to what Frank Miller would have you believe, Xerxes' invasion of Greece didn't fail because a bunch of buff half naked dudebros stood on a mountain pass for a bit, but because the Athenians managed to cut off his naval supply routes.

CornHolio posted:One thing I've always really liked about the show and the books is the not-often-mentioned but super-important relationship between Lyanna and Rhaegar. There's an entire story there that's fleshed out but not written. Rhaegar is prince and married, but falls in love with Lyanna, who is meant for Robert. They're married and he steals her away, Robert explodes and starts the rebellion and wins, Rhaegar is killed in battle, Lyanna dies giving birth to their only child. It sets in motion everything in Game of Thrones but the story itself is only alluded to and hinted at.

DoctorG0nzo posted:I was sad that they never mentioned that the Tarlys stood with her father. Thought that would've counted for something. He won one of the few loyalist victories to boot IIRC. Burning them was entirely unnecessary. Edmure Tully spent years as a hostage on the show, so the "but they don't have the facilities for long term incarceration!" line of reasoning isn't really valid.

CornHolio posted:I'd say it was still Robert that started it. If he had just recognized that he had lost Lyanna to Rhaegar and not fought to try to keep her, everything would have been avoided. And again the rebellion wasn't started because of the kidnapping, that was just a catalyst. It was started because the king demanded that Jon Arryn murder what were in effect his own foster sons. Arryn replied "gently caress you, come and do your own dirty work".

The Walrus posted:the targaryens are the rightful rulers of westeros except for a betrayal of duty tho To make a case for the rebels: They were only rebels because they had each other's backs when the rest of the kingdoms were turning a blind eye to blatant abuses of power. When you think about it, is that really a betrayal? Who were they betraying? Loyalty is a two way street. Aerys demanded loyalty, but he offered only injustice and tyranny in return. They didn't owe him a loving thing.
