    Also knew Sansa would NEVER keep that shit a secret. Fucking women ...
    Women? It got Littlefinger written all over it...

    Suggesting that Sansa is warped? Effectively his heir apparent to the throne of lies/douche-baggery ?

    I was under the impression he can see the past and not the future. Sam mentions to him how he is the greatest historian because he can see/visit it all

    This. I think that Brann is basically a living hard drive. It's been so long since I read the books I don't remember the specifics of his abilities, but I think for the purposes of the show his main function was to confirm Jon's ID/background.

    Consistently bad, I agree. Every time Euron appears, it's horrible writing all over it.

    Regarding the Starbucks scene, there has also been this:

    I suggest you go and watch it again. Season 5 episode 1. She talks about the kids and the beauty, but not the Valenqar.

    I agree. Books, TV shows, and plays are all a type of art, which means that its appeal is entirely subjective. You're bound to have differences in opinion.

    Man, Euron's fleet is the laziest plot device in this show, and that's saying something.

    If the show really killed the NK so anticlimatically just so that Dany wouldn't so OP and serve us three episodes of this nonsense then I'll happily call season 8 even worse than season 7.

    This Bronn scene makes no sense whatsoever.
    While he seemed a bit out of character, generally being a dick, this may be what Bronn is all about. Season 6/7 with his buddy-buddy comedy with Jaime was more out of character for him, he was never supposed to be the type who would save a Jaime from a Dragon. Tyrion hired him and kept him around because he was a dangerous, greedy man that Tyrion hoped he could control with money and promises. In the books his story follows up with him pretty much owning land, castle, lordship and being in active rebellion against Cersei. This is the kind of man who would capitalize on a chance to threaten the two men who promised him god knows what and left him with nothing.

    Anyway, for me it was the first good episode of the season, pretty damn good. A lot of conflict flying around, mainly North vs Daenerys, family disagreements between the Starks. Slowly capitalizing on hints that Daenerys could actually be as mad as her father. Stakes rising yet again with another dragon down, Euron being boss as always. Cersei being a bitch, and actually having all the upper hands she could.

    It's only sad things have to be moving so damn fast. From capture of Missandei to her death took like 20 minutes, same with Jaimes newly found love for Brienne, then immediately going "fuck, I'm leaving". Last 2 episodes will probably have to be run at 200% speed on default to end all the plot threads of the show.

    Well since I've seen a few complaints on the main thread, I figure that those of us who have read the books and want to discuss possible scenarios appearing in the TV without spoiling it for those who haven't read the books or seen the current episodes.

    Spoiler tags are not to be used in this thread. Attempts to use them to troll or annoy other users can and will result in infractions.
    Time to start the fixing.

    Why even bother with speculation?

    According to the leaks that predicted Missandei's beheading, Rhaegal being shot down and many other things from this episode, Jaime [SPlol]will get captured trying to get to Cersei. Then Tyrion will free him in an attempt to get both Jaime and Cersei out of the city. This is likely what gets Tyrion arrested. On the way to Cersei, Jaime will fight Euron and get mortally wounded. As he gets to Cersei, she is already dying - most likely killed by Arya. Then they both die in each other's arms. This is most likely the final scene of the next episode, imo.[/splol]

    Gosh half the pages filled with black. It's a spoiler thread.

    Quote Originally Posted by Sulla View Post

    [splol]And if the spoilers are true, I'd imagine Jon ends up killing Dany after she loses her fucking marbles regardless of knowing about his true lineage. If anything, her being frustrated with this knowledge made the situation worse and contributed to her losing her shit and massacring king's landing next week.[/splol]

    It's a field day. Reminds me of good old season 6 battles of spoilers.

And of course Sansa would use this, because that's what Sansa is like now. And Jon's heritage is a BIG DEAL, whether he kills Dany or not. If anything this again shows how pivotal a role Bran played in bringing all that to light.[/splol]

    Personally, I don't like this at all. At this point I'm rooting for an ending where [splol]the Iron Throne is melted by Drogon and the realm splits, so effectively no one wins the game of thrones.[/splol]

    Been a fan for 8 years, and read the books. It's a good ending.. How it got there is messy AF though.

    Guys, we've had this fight for several seasons now, you can manage few episodes more.

    If they needed to kill another dragon to make cersei seem more dangerous, why not have it killed by the dragon it was fighing last episode? These scorpion ballistae or whatever are absolutely absurd, as is not scouting ahead of your fleet, especially when you have two dragons.

  18. #24138
    I'm not certain why Tyrion acts as if Cerse's fate is doomed. He does realize that Dany's army was decimated by the Night King, and that Cersei not only has 20K reinforcements but is blackmailing Dany by having people be her meatshield, right? Without even counting the dozens of ballistas she has at her disposal. It seems to me as if Cersei is the winning side.

    I don't think that's that big of a stretch. Daenerys and her fleet were on her way to Dragonstone, her "base of operation". They didn't expect counterattack, well, before they even attacked. Also, naval strategies with entire fleets being hidden in bays and behind islands were extremly common, the famous Battle at Salamis has been won by Greek soldiers mainly due to such manouver, at way closer distance too. OP ballistas seemed a bit odd, yeah, but remember, book Euron was supposed to be ultra powerful too, just with magic artifacts. I'm fine with him in the show being ultra powerful in another way, with superior technology and military skills.

    Still, screw them for no eyepatch.

    Dany is flying, she should have spotted them easily.
