OT: All Things Game of Thrones III (The End!?)

[Ruck Over]

What does Gendry have to do with Dany going ballistic? Since it wasn't part of the mad queen story line, why bother having him in the episode? Is that detail really needed? D&D know what they're doing, cashing all those checks.

 

[Ruck Over]

This isnt even remotely what I was hinting at, so I'm just gonna let you go off the deep end on your own.

How benevolent of you, and misguided. Enjoy yourself and the show to the best of your ability.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Well Lord Gendry needs to convince people he is true heir to Baratheon line

Its all well and good that people up North celebrated you but his actual people will probably need to be won over of course the population has likely been decimated by war losing so many men during Stannis fights

So it wouldn't have made sense for him to travel to KL and fight

 

[Beef Invictus]

So here's another parallel between early show and end show:

Sansa is the one who spills the secret and gets her dad killed, because she's a little spoiled brat having a tantrum and she doesn't realize what she's really doing.

Then Sansa spilled the Aegon thing. But this time she's fully aware of what she's doing.



That's a quick summary of how far a character has come via two parallel acts.

 

[Ruck Over]

I said Sansa. I think it is not going to be Jon or Dany at this point, and Arya doesn't seem to want it. Tyrion I don't think would be accepted by the masses. Gendry is going to go to Storm's End and marry Arya. No one else really makes any sense.

In your prediction of Arya, do the Hound's word change her heart toward becoming a lady as well? There's a snippet of her in audience as Dany presents to the survivors of KL, in the teaser for next week. Gendry was not (visibly) at her side.

Yeah, and the fastest way to do that would be to be hanging with the Queen though.

That is good writing.

And exactly what Dany predicted would happen.

I'd say the same, but I already know you'll be disappointed.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I want Greyworm to die a slow and painful death next week hopefully at the hands of Jon

 

[Beef Invictus]

Her wardrobe mirroring Cersei hasn't gone unnoticed either, I just don't know what to make of that yet.

 

[Ruck Over]

Well, that's why it's phrased, "best of your ability." So you could say that, or not. Do you have another snide remark, or prediction on my behalf?

 

[Starat327]

Nope. I know assumptions can only be made one way here, so it's ok.

 

[Starat327]

Her close up/make up when they finally show her in the 5th episode is very mad king esque as well. Clearly very distraught and mentally not processing the previous few episodes worth of action/storyline very well.

Yes, as I said in the last thread I am very disappointed in how Arya SEEMS to be turning out. I don't think it made a lick of sense to have get to where she is in the show, kill the Night King (and Little Finger, and the Frays and the list of others she got to or wanted to get to but was beaten to the punch), go all the way to KL to kill Cersei, get to Cersei, then change her mind entirely and try to escape. So why wouldn't she run home to Gendry and marry him? What the f*** else is she going to do? I have not seen the teaser yet but I wouldn't put much stock in it. She should have died trying to kill Cersei, or she should have killed Cersei. To have her say "f*** it I am not going to kill Cersei" but then turn around and presumably go kill Dany...why? Cersei was pretty much number one on her list the entire time and she gave up two seconds before completing it. But now she's gonna kill Dany (or whatever the other options are) and not go home and marry Gendry? Doesn't make sense. Sorry for the visibly irritated response but Arya was like my favorite character on this show and probably any other show and I just feel like they ruined her. Haha.

Oh I'm talking about Sansa.


I don't necessarily think she's mad, but they might be showing she has ambition beyond her current station

Ah, I misread that then, my bad. Re-reading that, the parallel definitely makes sense.

 

[Rebels57]

I think Jon kills Greyworm and Dany, then retires up North and Sansa sits on the throne with Tyrion as her hand.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I am getting laugh at some of the people who named daughters Khaleesi getting upset over events from Sunday

I have suggested a friend of mine who is pregnant with twins to name them Sansa and Missandei. She never watched show though and didn't think Sansa was good name

Didn't rule out Missandei though

 

[Beef Invictus]

Ah, I misread that then, my bad. Re-reading that, the parallel definitely makes sense.

It's how Cersei started; she wasn't always mad. Ruthless and ambitious, but she doesn't start losing grip until later.

I think Jon keys Greyworm and Dany, then retires up North and Sansa sits on the throne with Tyrion as her hand.

I expect Tyrion to be executed shortly.

My next door neighboor has a 2 year old daughter named Arya Stark Kaiser.

No judgement, just curious the bigger picture of your prediction.

The snippet was super brief. Dany is atop the stairs of the remainder of the Red Keep (or maybe whatever's left of the Great Sept, think Philadelphia Art Museum staircase), and along the sides are the remaining Unsullied as a security barrier, standing at attention. Throngs of people are present, behind the Unsullied, to see their new Queen, Arya is a face in the mass of gathered people.

Can't see it happening.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Wouldn't it make more sense for Dany to head back to Essos? She is monster in Westeros but still has supporters in Essos

Of course she would probably have trouble explaining to them what the hell happened to the massive army of Dothraki and Unsullied that went with her as well as why all her advisors are dead and 2 of her 3 dragons are missing

I don't have a problem with that. She got to a point with the Hound that she trusted him and she did not want to die. That simple to me. I don't think she should be the one to kill Dany. I think she should, as you said, go marry Gendry and live a normal life that she has been thus far robbed of.

 

[Ruck Over]

Nope. I know assumptions can only be made one way here, so it's ok.

Yeah, your way or Beef's. Otherwise it's shot down in a bunch of namby-pamby crying and white knighting.
