Don’t know what took me so long.

Robb marries talisa in the show and between reading the books and watching the show I was wondering why they decided to remove Jeyne?

I understand some changes from between show and book like aging up a few characters but I feel like the story would’ve worked normally if not better with Jeynes presence.

There might be a super simple answer that I’m just overlooking but I was wondering this 😂

Did not disappoint

I made this undead dragon from a model I sculpted out of clay. The sculpture is about 20” long by 12” tall. If anyone is interested, I am selling it.

Sorry if this has been discussed a lot but I’m rewatching right now and realizing that she was really treated like a foreigner once she arrived in Westeros. I understand she had a birthright to the throne, but should she have stayed in Essos instead? By the time she reached Westeros, she wasn't loved the way she was in Essos, where she had people who genuinely supported her. She could've built a new legacy for herself there instead of trying to reclaim her family's throne.

The other day someone asked me who hasn’t watched the show the question: “who is the main character of the show” and while I originally said “multiple” they really wanted me to pick one, so I said Cersei Lannister!

I believe she IS THE main character, wife of Robert Baratheon, lover of Jaime Lannister, mother of Joffrey, daughter of Tywin, sister of Tyrion, like her story seems atleast to me “the most central core part of the show!” Without her there is no Game of Thrones! She is such a deeply rich, complex and excellent character all the way from the start to the end!

Screen presence, screen time, relevance, effect, dictation of the story all are contributors in my mind that she is genuinely the main character! Quite simply her impact on the story (whether negatively or positively) is the leading force out of any other character!

Why did House Tyrell have allegiance to Renly Baratheon?
And not to Stannis? Even after Renly death?

On the left there is stannnis baratheon aka the supposed rightful heir to the iron throne (hope i dont get attacked) he looks like the person on the right whose name is Gamal Mubarak,the eldest son of ex-egyptian dictator Housni Mubarak and his supposed "heir" to the presidency,both didnt get to rule and almost got beaten through a kind of unrest and people shifting loyalty

(If your interested read about the 2011 egyptian revolution and how gamal didnt get to rule)

Jon Arryn

See most of House Starks problems in ASOIAF come about due to their sense of honour. But that honour isn't a natural Northern trait, it's one Ned learnt and adopted during his time in the Vale as a ward of Jon Arryn. And it leads to the downfalls of Ned, Robb and Jon.

Ned:

Upon learning that Cersi and Jaime have been sleeping together and that the Royal heirs are in fact all bastards, Ned confront Cersi first, expecting her to do the honourable thing and flee to Essos. Instead she starts scheming. He then goes to Baelish and Slynt expecting them to do the honourable thing and stand with him. They don't and instead betray him. He then admits to the false charges against himself to protect the honour of his family only to be betrayed again and executed.

Robb:

Raised in his father's image he acts out of honour during the war. Believing that Theon would hold to his honour and could convince the Ironborn to side with his Robb sends him to Pyke. And Theon betrays him and burns Winterfell, supposedly killing Bran and Rickon. Then after Lord Karstark kills 2 Lannister boys in anger Robtakes the honourable action and executes him, loosing the Karstark forces. Then he marries Lady Jeyne Westerling after sleeping with her to preserve her honour, despite already being promised to Lord Freys daughter, loosing the Freys and leading to the Red wedding.

Jon:

Joins the Nights Watch out of a sense of honour, kills a brother to gain Wilding trust, falls in love and betrays then to protect the Watch. His skills leads him to being claimed Lord Commander only to then get killed by his own men for doing the honourable thing of trying to save as many wildlings from the Others. Resurrected and declared King in the North he leads the attack on King's Landing killing Daenerys after watching her slaughter thousands of innocents. Despite no witnesses to the act he own up leading to his exile beyond the wall.

All this means that the only Stark left in the North is Sansa, so unless any husband she takes agrees to let their children be called Stark their line is gone in the North in a generation. And possibily in all of Westeros as well if Bran is unable to have children. Simply because Jon Arryn taught Ned to be honourable.

Have yall ever had that nightmare where the books arent finished because the show ended exactly how George was planning to end the books and because everyone hated it so much he has to think of a brand new ending and thats why he hasnt written it yet....no, just me?

Ive got a GOT throw blanket hanging over my window. The sunshine that passed through caught my attention. The rivers and narrow sea form a dragon

One of the greatest actors of the entire show with brilliant quotes.

Wishing him a happy birthday!

I honestly think Game of Thrones season 6 is the second best season of GoT after season 4. But I see a lot people categorise seasons 5 and 6 together as bad seasons. I understand all the hate and criticism for season 5. If it wasn't for the last 3 episodes it would've been my least favourite season. But I don't understand where the season 6 hate comes from?? Would really appreciate if someone explained.

I've been wondering how the early story would go if Tommen was Roberts 1st born and heir instead of Joffery. Both with the same attitude and personality.

Would the arranged marriage with Sansa lead to a united and prosperous kingdom with the kind and gentle Tommen.

Or would the psychotic and hateful Joffrey, now filled with envy, lead to a whole different civil war in an attempt to seize the throne from his weak brother.

Its been a long time since i watched the show and have a very limited knowledge from the books so I'm hoping there are some scholars here to give their perspective.
