OT: All Things Game of Thrones II (The thread is dark and full of spoilers)

[Jack Straw]

But really I'm thinking this over and how the hell is the Citadel training these ravens? Do they get out a map and show them all the cities? They whisper the location to them and then they go, I'm pretty sure. Bran must be the central meat-server for this system. This will be my personal canon.

My theory on Dany torching KL:

She's actually Graham Chapman.

STOP THAT GROVELING!

 

[Bob Clarke Fan Club]

Not surprised, not disappointed. Well, maybe the Cersei/Jamie deaths.

 

[Beef Invictus]

That's totally fine and exactly my point in why Bran would do that. If you know anything about the 3ER it would make sense for him to influence events in what he would find as a favorable outcome.

Dany going mad queen is crap writing, it was probably the worse "subtle hint / build up". She could have burned down the red keep with Arya, Sandor, and etc. in it to make the show much more interesting.

It seems to me that you don't know the 3ER.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

She's never once killed an innocent person on this show, let alone thousands. I'm sorry, but it was just not believable for her to slaughter all of those people. Killing Varys? Sure. Maybe even turning on John, Tyrion or others who she thinks actually wronged her? That would be acceptable. Killing innocents is way out of character and excusing it as "she's gone mad" is just lazy and a disservice to her character.

Oh really?

-As Khaleesi the Dothraki murdered innocent people as she did nothing to stop them (Outside of few exceptions)
-She sacked a city once already = Innocent people died
-She kidnapped the heads of important families in Mareen and had dragons set them on fire and eat them because she was mad about insurrection (That was funded by other slave cities not them) = Innocent people died
-She burned the Tarly's alive = They were innocent

STOP THAT GROVELING!

I saw her perched on the wall, listening to the bells, and getting enraged, and I couldn't stop laughing because this was going through my head. I have problems.

 

[TCTC]

It's absurd that there are still so many Unsullied and Dothraki. It's like episode 3 never happened.

 

[deadhead]

Blondes with large breasts in fantasy land are like scorers in the NHL, they get the benefit of the doubt from fans (Refs) with regard to their motives when they do bad things.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Another sort of prediction was provided by Maester Aemon. I think it was like "A Targaryen alone in the world is a terrible thing."

 

[Starat327]

It seems to me that you don't know the 3ER.

Yeah, I ignored the dig. Wasnt worth the effort.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

All he had to do was stand tall, discount double check and deflect the fire back at Dany which would have killed her because subversion.

Should of done an audible.
RIP

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

To me, if there's anything to complain about about this episode and season in total, its the involvement of the golden company. You want 5 minutes for backstory for other things? Take it from any scene that has the golden company in it. That was a waste.

Meh

Golden Company is easy parallel to so called "Elite Fighting Forces' in history who proved overmatched and unworthy of praise

The Iraqi Republican Guard was talked of as if it was in class of the Kantemiroskaya or Taman Guard Divisions yet in combat it was outmatched and outfought in woefully one sided affairs and when attempting to flee the battlefield was obliterated by allied aircraft

European history has shown that mercenary units have a tendency to let enemies go so they can keep the war going and maximize profits.

There weren't that many Dothraki left

The charge involved what 60-100 at most

Unsullied there are a bit too many IMO left

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

True

But in this case the mercs don't have anywhere to hide and as seen when fleeing the dragon they were like ants being roasted under a microscope

Also hiding among the civilian population provides no protection since Dany is burning entire city

So my wonderful asshole of a wife decided last night, after being completely disinterested in game of thrones, that she might want to watch it. From the beginning. With me.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Robb and now Jon have mucked up the Stark family name to point that it probably cant be redeemed in Westeros

Robb the oathbreaker and Jon who allied the North with a genocidal Queen

I know Jon is a bastard but the North legitimized him as "Jon Stark" the "King of the North"

When he is actually "Aegon Targaryen" the "King of Nothing If He Can Help It"

Luckily the Boltons were the only real, main threat to the Starks and they're a bit extinct.

 

[Lord Defect]

I just told her I was willing, but we would watch it from finish to start.

Meanwhile I'm gonna see if I can manage to fire up the CK2 GOT mod to run through as some family with the wife.

It seems to me that you don't know the 3ER.

I've watched enough of alt shift x's channel and others' to know that the 3ER has motives that aren't well known. It is highly speculated that he's got some desire to put someone on the throne.
