Daario is a better political mind to have on board than Tyrion, IMO. Take away the Dinklage witticisms, and what has Tyrion done for Dany? Trigger a war against the masters. Whereas Daario had tried to help Dany learn about the cultures of the cities she was invading, and he was smart about having Tyrion, Missandei,…

I think the producers have realized that their choices in shortcutting and condensing things has caused some problems. Sam's trip to Old Town isn't about him getting to Old Town. He makes neat stops along the way and ends up in the same place as…characters who didn't make it from the book to the show. The whole point…

Don't speak to me in that tone. Jesus christ.

I doubt it, not after we've seen how rotten the core of Jaime and Cersei's relationship is, and how bad the whole general Targaryen line trickled out, and especially after getting us to root for Jon + Ygritte. We're going to want to see Jon end up with someone he really loves, if there's a love match in his end game.

She left Braavos for Westeros before Varys left Dorne for Slavers Bay.

I bet she named him Robb. Awkward!

I didn't need the refresher on books I've read myself, thanks. I will never get behind the idea that it's excusable to lie to your wife about something like that. I just won't.

It's historical fiction in a world where seasons last ten years, dragons are real, ice zombies are real, and it isn't even really the planet earth. It's all fine and good that the Germ picked and chose the aspects of history that meshed with the fictional world he was creating. I still blanch at the fact that he…

His loyalties are too uncertain. He's always been happy to work for whoever happened to be on the Iron Throne at any given time (which was, ya know, his job) but Cersei needs someone who knows all the secrets of Kings Landing to be adamantly on HER SIDE.

I didn't see anyone comment yet with the actual quote. It was hard to hear at first, and it seems like Myles didn't hear it, but if you're listening closely Lyanna says Robert.

I'm gonna beat this dead horse:

Not my point. I'm countering the fan theory that Sansa is pregnant but keeping it a secret or somehow doesn't know yet.

Sam's story is left out in the cold as a result of the plot shuffling and condensing. We never saw his overlap with Arya in Braavos (and Arya's storyline never gave us the Valyrian info-dump that I had figured was the eventual point of the whole exercise) and the Sand Snake hunkering down in the Citadel didn't make it…

I think Theon may struggle when it comes to opposing the Starks. Tyrion might have ambiguous feelings once he has to face the reality of going against Jaime. Dany has to actually decide on an end game. Does she intend to just implant the dothraki in Westeros and…live there? Why not stay in Essos then? Dany still needs…

Plus Sansa's not stupid in that sense. If she were pregnant enough to be showing (the way people thought in the promo pics), she would know she was pregnant. She's not Peggy Olson. Sansa spent season two dreading the day Joffrey could technically start trying to get her pregnant. She's been traded and sold off because…

Save your responses for someone who'd actually feel shamed enough to stop commenting on a dopey website?

THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED KINGS LANDING

Eh, I think the person who's being paid to write about it should be at least as on point as the laymen here. Don't position yourself as an expert if you're going to make such a major flub.

I'm usually a quasi-Cersei defender (there are characters who have done worse things that fans tend to be more forgiving toward) but IMO she never understood that when she conspired to kill her husband, she was also giving up her claim to the crown. A lot of the problems in Kings Landing were caused by her sense of…

It casts the whole friendship into doubt. On a rewatch, you realize that these are two men who don't really know each other that well anymore after 15-ish years on different ends of the continent.
