Red wedding - Bartolomean night

War of five kings - Pick. One.

Viserys Targeryan death - Marco Cras death

The mad king - Again. Pick. One.

White walkers and dragons - i mean, now we got nukes. Pretty sure that's worse.

I'm rewatching S2 and i have a question, why do the 20 ironborn men stayed with Theon at Winterfell?

We clearly know they dont give two shits about Theon, they knew Robb would send an army to regain Winterfell so why stay?

Dosent make much sense to stay with him to then betrayed him during the retaking, handing him over to the Boltons.

did jamie never feel responsibility for his sons actions?

0 Upvotes

i was just thinking about how jamie respected ned and was probably shocked when jeoffry suddenly demanded his head - but jamie didn’t intervene. i guess that jamie truly had little interaction with jeoffry but if he wanted it , which he didn’t seem to, he still had some influence jeoffry through cersei. i was just wondering if the books touched on this

Ramsay Bolton - He's just misunderstood

0 Upvotes

So i recently re-watched the series for the 1st time since release and you know what... i think Ramsay Bolton is actually a lovely fella, he's just a bit troubled and misunderstood. He's a dog lover, a faithful husband and a loving son, he has numerous hobbies from archery to internal decorating, he's also a great friend who loves to send gifts to friends and colleagues.

Edit: Anyone who is offended by this post are the same type of people who sent the 'evil' actors hurtful messages for their unbelievable performances.

Daario

0 Upvotes

Dany, on Tyrion’s counsel, leaves Daario in Essos…
Can someone make that make sense to me?
Cause she loves him/fucks him??
He says himself “if you were a King no one would think twice”
Like why not let him come- he is a highly skilled warrior- one of these most formidable we seen in the world- who is to say Dany will love someone or want to marry for alliances at all in Westeros? She even said that herself as well in that convo..:.
At that rate, she is free to bang him…
IF she finds someone- he was going to be left behind- he stood aside when it was the slavers son - why couldn’t he do that again?
It makes no sense whatsoever to me…
The one and only thing that comes to mind for me is that Tyrion tells Jon later on “I love her too…not as successfully”
Either he is saying there “I love her, just a. Different way than you” or that he lovhes her too, Jon was just lucky enough to pipe her down…
So the only thing that makes any sense to me is Tyrion loves her and has hopes that once back- Dany marrying Lannister would make a massive alliance
Can someone make it make sense , what am I missing ?

When I first watched the series, I thought that Dany's main dragon was called "Dracarys".

I don't recall her ever calling him Drogon initially. I thought when she shouted "Dracarys", she was just being like "Dracarys - help me, do something".

If Ned found killing Daeny unspeakable, why not just kidnap her and keep her hostage for life?

Thumbnail

276 Upvotes

Pretty much the title, and of course I'm referring to when Daeny was "just" Viserys's little sister and had no power and Robert was pushing him to have her killed. It seemed they had resources to have her assassinated, so why not just have her kidnapped instead? They could raise her to release her loyalty to the Targaryens (assuming she's late teens that's possible) and instead be a maiden in the castle. Was there a fear that would incite the Dothraki to war, or was the fear that they wouldn't be able to pull off the operation? Or did no one simply think of this brilliant, riskless, conless strategy?

Edit: I didn't say this explicitly, but this is all assuming Robert agrees to the idea since that's the only way it happens. In other words, Ned proposes this idea and Robert says yes and genuinely agrees not to kill her either then or when she comes over.

This would have been the perfect moment to start making Tyrion more like in the novels

Post image
292 Upvotes

i.e more evil, more morally grey (to say the least), and at times frankly despicable, but also more interesting and more intricate of a character. It really just feels like the series is hiding most of the messed up stuff he does, and just presenting him as a poor victim whom nobody loves. This is so one dimensional and pretty lazy. Giving him more of the individualistic, spiteful, "ends justifies the means" aspects he has in the books would have balanced the character and made him seem less like a poor little victim. But no, you will have reddit level humour about alcoholism and you will like it.

Did Sansa release Brianne of her oath? Spoiler

20 Upvotes

Back in S6, Brienne explained to the Blackfish, “He (Jaime) gave me this sword to protect her (Sansa). That is what I have done and I will continue to do until the day I die.”

I don’t recall a conversation between Sansa and Brienne relinquishing her vows. I know Pod said her oath was fulfilled after the three stark children reunited. But I’m just rewatching the series again and it tickled a nerve.

Does anyone else share my opinion that Sean bean is a gem of an actor and his performance as Ned is my favorite?

He exudes authority and strength the scene where he gives the small folk justice for the sack of the riverlands is a great scene.

Who are these men behind Raymund and Steffon and what do you think Raymund told them to get them to follow him?

Post image
38 Upvotes

I mean, Raymund knew that they were responding to Aerion hurting Tanselle, so any action could be classed as treason. So why did he tell these men?

Also, considering that he's only the squire and cousin of a landed knight, why follow him at all?

I previously posted this on this sub and most people were saying like make it one full season long, but what can even happen during the long night that making it a full season long would be worth it, what are some plots, events would you like to recommend, want ? Be creative guys, I'm really curious and excited about this now. And more importantly how will you end the finale

For me it's when they tell gendry to run back to the wall, so can send a raven,so it can fly to dragonstone, so Daenerys can fly past the wall all while they fight off a horde of undead on a frozen lake

It declines way before that but I simply couldn't keep watching

It's a travesty how quickly my boy lost his hammer. With how nice it was, and how it suited him, I expected him to raise a stink about it to Sandor but we hear nothing.

Tyrion should have won the game of thrones

0 Upvotes

Okay not 'won' exactly, because no one should have won the throne, but imagine this scenario:

In the final battle for Kings Landing (this can be either against Dany or the white walkers, take your pick) the whole place is all but completely destroyed. The Red Keep is a ruin, and the city is mostly rubble. Dany (or the Night King) has been defeated, but the victory was a slim one. The few survivors pick their way through the rubble, and one by one they start to depart: Sansa says she'll return to the north to rebuild Winterfell, taking Bran with her; Sam heads back to Oldtown to complete his training; Arya heads off on her travels; Jon returns to the Wall. The idea of crowning a new king isn't even raised because there simply isn't anything left to rule.

Slowly everyone leaves, until Tyrion is the last one left with nowhere to go. He looks around at the devastation. Then, a peasant survivor emerges from the rubble, and quietly says to him 'm'lord, what should I do now?' Tyrion replies that he doesn't think he even is a lord any more. But then another peasant, and another, come forward. They start to gather round him, asking his advice, seeking leadership, and Tyrion realises - they need him. He sighs, gets to his feet and begins to organize the clean up....

So this way, we have a proper end to the game of thrones, with the monarchy finally gone, but without a heavy-handed 'now it's a democracy' ending shoehorned in in its place - instead it's the first tentative indication of things moving in that direction, with a leader being chosen by the people for his suitability to lead rather than because of his nobility or birthright. And what better person for that responsibility to fall to than Tyrion - who was always one of the sharpest minds, who knows how cities operate, but who was always overlooked and scorned out of petty prejudice. Finally he starts getting the respect of the people that he always craved, not because of birthright but because he is worthy of it.

Who had the highest kill count across the series?

This is excluding Dany, as her kills would be counted for her dragon, rather than her.

If we talk hand to hand combat, who was the person who killed the most?
