Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 32

Well, that's a pretty fucked up and problematic sentiment.

 

She'd open up a can of whoopass on him.

 

Really enjoying this season besides the Umber heel turn. Give me the Umbers from the books! I want Crowfood banging drums and digging trenches with green boys.

And he's LC now

 

No thoughts on the Winds of Winter chapter released by GRM? Is there a separate book thread?

 

Yep.

Ah. Thanks.

 

Anyone else here play Game of Thrones Risk? We've been pretty obsessed with it the last few months. Not going to lie, having the map pretty memorized has vastly improved my understanding of a lot of geographic related dialogue during the show, it's nice.

 

I think I'm most curious where the Kings Landing plot is heading this season.
We went from everybody wanting to be on the Iron Throne, to now where it seems largely forgotten about.

It seems like Danny could cross the narrow sea with Drogon and 10 good soilders and take the Throne at the moment. The Faith Militant is the Faith Militant (powerful from within, but don't have soldiers and weapons), and the Lannisters seem so powerless. I'm sure they still have large support and a powerful army outside of Kings landing, but the show hasn't really depicted them in that light for a long time.

Something needs to happen to shift Kings Landing into a position of power again, so when Dany does eventually come over it feels like an actual war. (Ignoring the White Walker issue of course)

 

Westeros is going to be a wasteland by the time Danny gets there.

 

Pretty sure the overall point is that even though the Lannisters won the war, they're still losing significantly. They seem powerless because, in a way, there are

 

To be fair, Cersei has quite an ace up her sleeve now. Zombie Mountain bodyguard - the personification of power in the show if there ever was one - seems to be the only thing keeping her alive right now, but against such a large amount of people devoted to finishing off the Lannisters who can appear and disappear whenever? All it would take is a clever trap at the right moment (I'm hoping to see Mountain killed off for good via Hound, but alas). Not to mention High Sparrow might use Tommen against her somehow. She might be in trouble if she can't opt for a trial by combat. It seems probable that Jamie is gonna get stark'd this season though. I have no idea why that character still exists TBH, and I don't see how anyone could still be rooting for him. He was arguably one of the most interesting characters in the show for a while, but his arch seems to be over.

 

Interesting thought about the possibility of the High Sparrow using Tommen against Cersei. It will be interesting to see what comes of that.

But I'm most interested in is seeing how FrankenMountain meets his true end. A trap was a good idea.

 

Dorne could have had a great storyline but its actually kind of the worst.

 

It's not even kind of, it truly is the worst.

 

Still mad about Areo Hotah tbh

 

This theory has probably been posted on reddit or GoT message boards before but i'm really starting to think Jon's story this season will culminate with him killing Melisandre with Longclaw and it suddenly lights on fire becoming Lightbringer

 

the show has ruined Jamie he is one of the most interesting characters in the books

 

Yeah, Jaime is not good in the show. Dorne is abhorrent though.

 

Not liking Dorne in the books really set me up for success with Dorne in the show. But I'm in the minority there.

 

I think Jaime has been great in the show up until the last two seasons. Even his actual story in Dorne was okay...enjoyed his interactions with Bronn, Hotah, and Doran...but the fact that the last two seasons have been Jaime basically trying to "repent" to Cersei has not been good, IMO. Need to get him out of King's Landing so he's doing something other than trying to make Cersei happy.

 

I have a feeling Jaime gets offed this season. Just feels like his story arch has already peaked and my gut says he's going to be one of the next big deaths.

 

Dorne is just bad even without the context of the books. The conscious erasure of the only WOC-led plot makes it even worse.
