Wait, it seems like you have information I don’t have.

I feel like you don’t understand why it’s fun to apply the mundane details of real life to magical dragon zombies.

Right, that was what I thought too - but Aerys going mad is what kicked off a whole lot of shit, right? Ultimately resulting in Robert Baratheon taking the throne...and if Robert had never become king, he never would have brought Cersei to Winterfell, so Bran never would have been pushed...and Bran’s fall is really…

Good take! I really hope you are right - and actually it also makes a lot of sense that he would test Arya against a theatrical Cersei first, to see if she could understand the vulnerable side of the queen before she is sent to assassinate the real deal. It’s a much bigger deal to take the life of someone you can…

Isn’t it the Lord of Light/Red God bringing people back in the brotherhood situation or is there another trick they have up their sleeve? Either way, it seems like it’s getting pretty hard to stay dead in Westeros these days.

Ah! Poor white pony but damn, Dany, what a major upgrade on the whip.

but still...it’s pretty unfair to the Dothraki to drag them to the other side of the world where they are supposed to burn all these little windmills and barns to the ground and then are they allowed to stay? Do they have to go back to their own land? With the Unsullied, it made sense that she could use them to…

Even calling boats “wooden horses” is so condescending and obnoxious. These savages who don’t even know how to have face-to-face sex (she really blew Drogo’s mind with that one, but of course she learned that trick from her white slave), these rapey brutes are the ones she wants to bring to her homeland to “tear down…

Can’t she just marry Yara? She’s not planning on having any babies anyway so like...can we just get some queen love happening?

My favorite part of this season so far is that we are getting back a Stark every few episodes. Can we get a Lady Stoneheart up in this piece?

to be honest, I don’t see anything wrong with that. It would make the film more historically accurate and I think the Fanning sisters would kill it as Dottie and Kit. Not to say this movie needs to be remade (because it’s basically perfect) but if it was and those young ladies were cast, I would totally watch it.

“The village” is the community, the tribe, the family. It refers to how things used to be, when a kid didn’t need to look for their mom when they scraped their knee because there was already someone there to help. There’s still an unspoken “village” mentality among women who look out for each other’s kids, even in…

you can say that again. and again. and again.

I suppose - I like that Varys, his foil, has such a clear motivation, even if it’s a vague goal: service of the realm. Varys is the Neutral Good. So is Littlefinger the Chaotic Good or Neutral Evil? He doesn’t seem to want peace and he doesn’t care about stability - does he just want respect? It’ll be fun to see his…

ah, that’s fair. I suppose he must have a blindspot somewhere and it makes a sort of sense that it would be Sansa. Still, I look forward to her asking him wtf and seeing how he deals with his responsibility in the situation.

Dany in the East

that just seems weirdly out of character though. he was out human-hunting in his father’s forests for ages before he went to Winterfell. how did news of that crazy not reach Littlefinger? Just an oversight? Seems like a convenient one, for a guy who mysteriously knows everything to just slipup when he’s setting up a…

But what does he want? It seems like he’s just scheming endlessly...to what end? I can’t see him getting excited to be a king, he knows that it’s not a very powerful position in the end (since he’s helped manipulate/kill so many) and if he had wanted to marry a Cat-lookalike, he had Sansa right there. So what’s he…

Ships I’m shipping for the rest of the show:

Someone in another thread suggested the Ramsey would try to get his dogs to kill Jon but Ghost will pop up and alpha them into turning in Ramsey. So long as Ghost gets the killing munch, I think that sounds like an alright scenario.
