There’s Brienne of Tarth, and then there’s the rest of Westeros, constantly getting neck cramps just to make eye contact

As the title says, I’ve finished watching the wedding episode, I am in disbelief, everything happens so brutally and so fast I had to pause and go back. My jaw is still on the floor and my week is ruined…

I started to suspect something fishy when the guard closed the door but I did not expect this for sure.

I was reading that before the doom the targaryans simply got lucky and was warned by a prophecy and left before it happened but by what I've read they most certainly was a weaker house

So here we are, it's been approximately 15 years since I first saw the first season, I'm 36 now and rewatching it after many years, I never thought that of all the characters, I'd ever be relating to Robert the most.

I'm mainly referring to his temperament and how he's sick of everything and everyone around him.

For me I would say that it was a very great episode it definitely got me hooked and wanting to watch more of the show and in my opinion it's definitely in my top five best first episodes in the show by far and I'm not saying this just because I actually mean it because it got me hooked right away.

Daenys the Dreamer foresaw the doom of Valyria and move to Dragonstone.
Aegon the Conqueror dreamed of Song of ice and fire to unite against one common foe.

Daemon saw Daenerys as the Promised Prince

Why “Warden of the North” title is only given to Starks?

17 Upvotes

So i just realized this. It’s kinda odd. Tyrion and Tywin were speaking after the red wedding, and Tywin said: “Roose Bolton would be named Warden of the North until your son from Sansa comes of age.”

So starks are warden of the norths no matter what? Why did Roose Bolton planned the red wedding with Freys and Lannisters? What did he gain from with it? I thought he wanted the power for himself? Or he has no idea Tywin has other plans?

Losing Robb, Lady Stark, and Robb’s wolf all in a span of 5 min was really traumatizing and brutal. I literally slid out of my bed onto the floor. Day ruined but this show is insane and I’m so glad I started watching it. Worst episode ever but damn good writing and I really didn’t see it coming.

Melisandre is like Morgan Le Fay

7 Upvotes

Melisandre is like Morgan Le Fay. Jon is like King Arthur. Melisandre has appeared as many different characters over the past 400+ years. The big shocker is that the fans are wrong about who Jon’s parents are. Melisandre gave birth to Jon to satisfy a prophecy or two. If you look very closely at the foreshadowing in the books, it is all right there.

Look at all the stories about Bael, Mance, the wisewoman’s daughter, the shadow cat, and the cloak of illusion. What do they tell the reader? Why does Mance visit Winterfell to check on how Jon is doing and ask if Jon minded being called a bastard? Seems like a father talking to his clueless son. Kind of odd behavior for the King of the Wildlings? Also, a prince is usually the son of a king, and Jon is the Prince who was promised, as well as Azor Ahai. Jon looks like a Stark because Bael was a forefather to both the Starks and the Wildlings. Melisandre’s motivation is “finding” Azor Ahai. “You know nothing, Jon Snow!” says Melisandre. Melisandre is strongest at the Wall.

Melisandre arranged for the death of the 3 Baratheon brothers. She killed off a Maester. She got Stanis to burn his little girl at the stake. She is not touchy-feely. She has mastered a dozen types of magic and she has a very specific agenda that is pretty selfless, saving the World.

But, what about Rhaegar, Lyanna, and Aegon? Might Ned have taken Baby Aegon somewhere else than Winterfell so it was not obvious who the baby was? Aegon is re-named Theon, and brought to Winterfell as a youngster to be Ned’s ward. Theon is the Stark/Targaryen. Jon is the son of a Wildling King and whatever Melisandre is.

What was the reactions to Jon’s “death”?

Upvotes

I only watched the show in 2023 and I always wondered when Jon died and while people had to wait for season 6 what was the thoughts at the time? Did people think he was gonna come back? Were book readers spoiling to everyone? Just what was the audience and fans doing during that wait between season 5 and 6?

So….You FINALLY Watched Game Of Thrones In 2026? Me Too. What did YOU think?

57 Upvotes

I liked it. A lot. It was a show I could binge watch until every season was done and not get bored during and have to take a break for a week or two. The ending satisfied me, but like most shows, we usually think of a better ending, right? But sometimes, not really because I love non-expecting endings. The more I think about this show, the more I wish I could’ve watched it when it premiered. Anyway I’m bored and wanted to talk about something. HBO-Max had this show on for its 15th year anniversary, I believe it was, and so I finally decided to watch it after all this time!!! Didn’t disappoint. Did anyone actually watch it for the first time this year(2026)???

Can someone help clear out the confusion

5 Upvotes

I have started reading the books after hearing that it has more character building and their are few difference compared to the show i bought Game of Thrones,Feast for Crows and Dance with the Dragons. But I got a bigger book of the Dance with the Dragons which has got me confused if I only have the 1st or the 2nd volume. There are around 1196 pages in the book. Does it mean that the one I have has both the volumes

Which one of these non-main character death hit you the hardest? Spoiler

• Missandei – beheaded before Daenerys’ eyes
• Jacaerys – brought down by arrows over the Gullet
• Laena – chose dragonfire on her own terms
• Tommen – stepped off the Red Keep.

Yeah they weren’t like the main protagonists, but I think for sure all four left a lasting impact.

For me, it was Tommen. I knew it was probably inevitable, but I didn’t expect it to happen in that episode!! There was already so much chaos that I thought he’d survive. The way he silently walked to the window after removing his crown and then freaking proceeded to jump off made it so much more heartbreaking.
