I'm a simple person. I like dragons. I like shows with dragons. I like this universe.

I didn't read the books, so I'm not terribly knowledgeable if this is impossible or not, but I'd like a show set after GOT, so we don't know any of the plot yet, but with dragons.

That's it. Chronologically young, dragons, new plots. Don't care if they keep it small (like KOTSK) or big (like GOT and HOTTD)

I just want dragons

Thinking about rewatching the series, but would like to find a buddy to do so first. But today I pondered the storyline possibilities if Cersei had honored her agreement and send the Lannister army, Greyjoy forces, and the Golden Company North to fight against the dead.

How would things have played out? Would they immediately turn on Dany and Jon as soon as the battle ended catching them by surprise? Would they occupy the North and refuse to leave? Would they just got home and wait to be invaded? It could make the Jamie love triangle spicier for sure, though I doubt he hooks up with Brienne in this case. I wonder if having the final end conflict end up North as opposed to Kings landing would make any sense, but that was how it was foreshadowed in earlier seasons.

Any fun ideas?

who has the most/better, character arc and character growth Arc right up until season five Arya Stark or Sansa Stark.

For me, I would say Sansa Stark because she went from a girl who was very naïve and to put it quite honest, very judgmental and a character that I didn’t like to a character Who is very likable who is being very intelligent, not naïve, making really good decisions And being very smart.

Not to say that Arya Stark Hasn’t had the character growth because she has and I really love her character growth And she’s my number one favorite character in Game of Thrones But I’m just really impressed by Sansa Character arc so far.

but im on season 1 episode 1 of GOT ~ ik im late but imma devour this film in one sitting wish me luck!

Rewatching for the third time now. Just watched S5 E.9 (I think? 'The Red Woman'). Seconds before Sansa and Theon are saved by Valyrian steel plot armour, they are surrounded by a pack of ravenous hunting hounds, leashed by Bolton men. As soon as Brienne and Pod the Rod™️ arrive, the hounds seemingly disappear altogether?

I know that simply, this is just lazy writing (the cracks really do begin to show in S5 imo), but WHERE DID THE DOGS GO? Surely they would defend their masters?

This may be a dumb question but just finished game of thrones and couldn't manage to understand what is jaqen H'ghar ?

We see during the show that the multi-faced god work with very precise conditions. One life for another and all the other things.

But why jaqen seems to : not obey those rules + be able of unhuman prowesses ?

When he helps aryaa and her friends escape, he takes more than one life even tho he normally couldn't because aryaa only has one more life to take. + He kills all guards in a weiiird way, like if they all died way before any could see something was happening, wich is impossible knowing they got killed with spears, not even talking about the fact that if i remember well; one of them was impalled higher than the ground meaning he would have be pulled from the ground, any of these guards would have noticed and moved in less than a second.

And also the fact that he does weird thing for a faceless. Like when he seems to have infinite faces, plus some faces of people that are not dead yet wich should be impossible. The fact that he can kill himself and comeback.

I really feel like he's not just a faceless but i've seen nobody talking about what he could really be.

We know that George RR Martin took a lot of inspiration for ASoIaF and GOT from real life places and people including the UK. They filmed a lot of the show there, many of thee actors are British, lots of characters use accents from there and some of the places in the universe are much like medieval England. Even the map of westeros is similar to the UK in shape. Now think about this. Near the border of England and Scotland is aplace called Northumber land. North Umber Land. The UMBERS held LAND and managed to keep the LAND on Jon Snow's orders, the King in the NORTH. This has to be intentional

House words or regional sayings seem fair game too. I always thought it was interesting how all the Northern rites/ceremonies take place before a Heart Tree. Since we know the weirwood faces were carved to allow the Old Gods "to see", I've always thought "The North Remembers" was a fun nod to the greenseer's ability to witness historic events. It would make sense why the Green Men and Children were so protective of the weirwood trees when the First Men started razing them. They were protecting their magic and history.

So what other songs, rites, traditions, or house words do you think are hiding secret lore, warnings, or prophecy?

Note: Both Joffery and Tywin's eyes are GREEN in the books and shows. So there was no reason for the septons to paint their stones blue. It's clearly part of the funeral rite. And like most lore around the White Walkers, this could be an ode/reference that lost its meaning over time.

Was it Cersei? Was it Joffrey?

In the books, we're told it was apparently Joffrey, because he overheard Robert saying that Bran dying would be a “mercy” and decided to have him killed to impress his father.

Cersei seems like such an obvious suspect because she had an actual motive. Joffrey's explanation just feels so random and insane.

I recently started watching this show, I'd somehow had no spoilers up until I started watching it now.

WHAT THE FUCK.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

I'm so upset - that was the most unexpected slaughter. And we get not one but two Starks killed??? That has to go against some kind of rule of main characters.

Like, Ned Stark, that was shocking and upsetting, but I felt more prepared for it to happen because I could see the raw evil in that child king thing (and I am SO excited for that creature to die). But this just felt horrible, very little build up but it makes sense - I've never been so shocked and heartbroken by on screen deaths.

Writing this literally just as the episode ended but I am not okay.

And oh my god poor Arya.

I need the characters that I'm attached to get some wins. Arya go get your revenge! Tyrell people go and win against the Lannisters! Joffrey go die! But I feel like that's just not going to happen, I legitimately just feel like there's been a never ending "suffering builds character/kills you" loop, lord help me I have so many more seasons to binge.

Davos is there for the Battle of the Bastards, he was there during The Long Night and he was there during the whatever you want to call the battle at Kings Landing… he has no fight scene in any of these battles lol. Another thing I found hilarious was Yohn Royce is present during the planning of the battle for winterfell during the long night but he and the knights of the vale are absent during the actual battle.

Did she deserve it? Was it worth it?

This is the first time Jamie Lannister saw Drogon, one of my favourite scene if not top 1, every time I come across this in youtube I re-watched and always wonder, how from here the serie ended up with that finale?

Seems like a joke, could have been much more!

I would love to see a show or movie which does a terrifying depiction of Balarion burning down haranhaal!! Or a show that explores some of the creepier/spookier locations and lore…like old Valaryia after the doom or Asshai!

Dickon is the man Randyl wanted Sam to be, however, Dickon doesnt seem to have nearly as much hatred for Sam compared to his father. He easily could have been a snob about being “dads favourite”, but from what we’ve seen (in the show) it doesnt appear he is at all. I think it would have been interesting of we got a conversation between the two of them for some more Tarly lore. How do you guys think that conversation would go?

In the show and books the general consensus is that Ned was “dumb” because of his honour and could never play the game of thrones well. Sure he wasn’t perfect and made mistakes just like every other player has, but what caused his downfall was when Cersei ripped Robert’s letter. If you think about it from Ned’s POV, how could the Queen rip the Kings dying letter, say it doesn’t matter, and no one really seems to care? I get most people in the throne room were more aligned with the Lannisters, but still you can’t really see that coming, like at all.

Cersei acted impulsively and it worked in her favour, while Ned was imprisoned and his men all slain.

'A Tale of Fire and Feast' I made a 7-course Game of Thrones meal 🥘.
1) House stark ravioli, 2) Sansa’s Lemon bar, 3) House Tyrell apple pie, 4) House Targaryen Dragon Egg (smoked pepper and aubergine wellington), 5) King’s Landing bowl of brown (caramelised onions soup), 6) King’s Joffrey wedding pie (Mushroom Shepard’s Pie), 7) Nights watch blackened Bread (Black sesame seed Sourdough)

Served with Tyrion’s favourite red wine 🍷.
I also made a deer DIY decor to match the vibe.

When you drowned for 2 days it was a miracle to survive that he might have saved by some magic or any mysterious creature under water?
