That was the general assumption by most of the characters in Game of Thrones concerning what had happened between Rhaeger and Lyanna. Only a handful knew or later learned that she had run off with Rhaeger. But regardless, Aerys ordered Robert Baratheon's execution before he had risen in revolt and solely due his

I think if your King orders your execution after his son kidnaps your fiance, its not so much treason as self-preservation.

Not at that point. Bran Stark rode to Kings Landing demanding his sister back and Rhaegar to face him. Kings Aerys had him arrested and then executed Bran and his father, who came to basically ransom his son. Open rebellion happened after these executions without trial and Aerys ordered the deaths of Ned Stark and

I think you are missing the part where Aerys executed Lord Stark and Bran Stark and then demanded the heads of Ned Stark and Robert Baratheon. At that point, Lord Arryn raised his banners to defend Ned and Rob.

Yeah I thought that might be a possibility. I was hoping with the extended fair well episode with flashbacks that we would be done with Frank. I'm not sure that alt-Frank can be redeemed even with a personality transplant. I'm not sure how this realty hopping will work.

That's fair. I think it is realistic but not terribly compelling for the protagonist in a show. I wish we could get some idea of what Julianna stands for if anything. Tracking down and avenging her sister seems to have fallen by the wayside into some kind of search for Joe. I was kind of rooting for the Joe and

I'm also looking forward to the change in showrunners. It seemed the the show was more focused this year and hopefully we'll get a little more of that in season 3.

Hopefully Frank stays dead. I thought it was an excellent send off for a character I didn't really like. Hopefully Joe remains an evil Nazis. His flipflopping has been brutal. Less Joe and Julianna and more Nazis/Japanese infighting.

This would really work for me. Both the "leads" (Joe and Jules) are brutal. Seriously guys, just pick a side and stick with it.

John Smith is probably the most competent guy that they have running round. None of the other American SS guys has seemed very impressive. Eliminating John Smith might make it easier for the resistance to operate. At the end of the day, he would be replaced but you can hope by someone less competent. The problem

The Nazis power struggles in this show are by far the best part of it. John Smith battling Heydrich in season 1 was excellent. Let's go for a nice long walk in the woods with my huge bodyguard shall we?

This is part of the commentary that I was referring to: "And really? I'm speculating on a region ive lived in as a native american my entire fucking life and youre feeding me the 'south didnt win' thing? I know they didnt win. My town in Arkansas was Union. Live 15 minutes from one battlefield, thirty from another. I

Sure you are entitled to your belief despite what other people say… but why are you bothering to debate with people then? You've brought up Texas and you've also brought up the South in your comments. I don't think it is that far fetched to say the South in the 1940s during Jim Crow was racist. The point of

I'm from Atlanta, Georgia. My credentials to talk about the South and the Civil War are pretty good. But thank you for your biography and your weird anger that I'm disagreeing with you about a region that I am from.

Why are you getting upset? If you dont want to debate a point about the show, comment boards are probably not the place to be. People get upset about being called Nazis because it is negativity associated with it in our world due to their crimes and that they got crushed. In this show, the Nazis won and everyone

Fair enough, I can't tell if it bad writing or the writers think the resistance are dumb. The point of having a spy in the top of the American Reich is to maintain a spy at the top of the American Reich. In a better written show, John Smith would figure out that Juliana was involved in an episode or two and there

Again? This is your first response to me. Disagree about which part? That there were still grudges from the Civil War or that the South would have fought to the last man, woman and child? They didn't in the Civil War.

But it was an absurd plan… Hitler's death doesn't change anything about the circumstances that the American people were facing in this timeline. The American SS will still shoot you if you revolt and if you are lucky enough to defeat John Smith and his guys, the real SS will show up and raze your cities. In the

You dont think the South would have been interested in settling grudges from the Civil War if the Nazis had won or were winning the war? Southerners were unlikely to be highly attached to the Union in the 1940s, most of them likely had grandfathers or fathers that had fought and died fighting against the Stars and

Happy birthday. I turned 35 today. Sigh. Hard to work up the motivation to celebrate.
