Did Littlefinger always sound so Irish? It seems like the actor forgot how to do his accent or something.

Bobo the Red posted:Which does leave the delicious notion that if Sansa ever does find out what Littlefinger did, she is gonna loving snap. Sansa is too much of a Stark to not have knifed someone yet. Tyrion: "Sansa isn't a killer... yet." Robin: "When we get married, you can tell me if you don't like somebody and then we'll bring them back here and WHOOSH! Right through the moon door." Sansa: *pensive glance* "I like the sound of that." Sounds like somebody's character is about to take a dark turn.

Alopex posted:Plus, Dany's unquestionably in charge in that relationship/that entire continent, and Sansa is more or less completely powerless against Littlefinger's creepy advances. She's basically his captive. He's literally murdered several people in front of her and is a habitual liar, I'm sure if she could be somewhere else and be safe, she would. Doting on a beautiful warrior queen half your age is not nearly as bad as capturing someone then perving on them because they look like their mother.

Sansa's always had that "one day I'm gonna go Carrie on everyone's asses" thing about her. She has certainly had enough metaphorical buckets of pig's blood by now.

precision posted:Why do people think it's creepy for Littlefinger to like Sansa but not for Jorah to like Dany, Jorah seems older than LF for sure and Dany is younger than Sansa for sure as well. Dany was at least 17 at the start because it was 17 years since Robert's Rebellion and the beginning, and she had to have been alive for that. Sansa on the other hand was 14 at the end of Season 3.

AMReese posted:I don't think they'd consider The Mountain honorable at all. Of course they'd be upset. ...and that settles it. There's no way that Tyrion wins the trial by combat twice in a book by GRRM. I'm pretty convinced the mountain is going to split Oberyn in twain and that Tyrion is toast shortly thereafter. Why else have a send off for Bronn? I had no idea Bronn was leaving for good until this thread today but how things are working out and how GRRM is, I now totally believe that Tyrion is a goner. He is giving us hope and he's going to dash it either next week or by the end of the season. And that loving sucks because there's nobody left to root for once he's gone. He's the only protagonist unless you count John Snuh or the dragons. No I don't mean Khaleesi. HBO is going to have a hell of a time running a campaign next offseason if Peter Dinklage is gone.

Wikipedia posted:Mockingbirds are a group of New World passerine birds from the Mimidae family. They are best known for the habit of some species mimicking the songs of other birds and the sounds of insects and amphibians. His house sigil is a mockingbird. He brought Robin (also a bird) a bird toy. I think it's pretty safe to assume that Littlefinger is half bird, half man. e: it's probably just bad acting

AMReese posted:Hmm... or he could go to Stannis, and fight against against his family and King's Landing that way. Nah. Tyrion would not mesh well with Stannis' corporate culture. He'd be much better suited in Essos or maybe Dorne.

Super Ninja Fish posted:Dany was at least 17 at the start because it was 17 years since Robert's Rebellion and the beginning, and she had to have been alive for that. Sansa on the other hand was 14 at the end of Season 3. Dany is actually born at the tail end of the Rebellion, as they flee to Essos. But I guess that counts as "alive" for it. You could kind of cut it as 16 or 17 I suppose. kiimo posted:...and that settles it. There's always the White Walkers. Also, keep in mind trial by combat doesn't always end in death. Tywin can't exactly have the Mountain cleave the poo poo out of Oberyn, because he's said that he needs Dorne on his side to keep everything together. If Oberyn is about to lose, Tywin can call it then and also have reasonably satisfied his agreement with Oberyn. At least he'll have salvaged the situation the best he could.

No, a total GoT thing would be that after a whole season of Oberyn build up to avenge his sister/niece/nephews deaths, sucking the audience into rooting for Oberyn as one of the best characters on the show, the Mountain comes out and 1 shots Oberyn with a sword through the skull... e: Please don't let this happen

Robert calls "Stop" as The Mountain is already swinging, The Hound kneels which essentially causes The Mountain to miss beheading The Hound. The Mountain throws his sword down angrily and then defiantly storms off. Some guards get in his way and kind of try to stop him/block his way and Robert is all, "Let him go" presumably because he knew The Mountain would just smash those red shirts and make a bigger scene.

Yeah, you are right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaIwtO6VWCU Littlefinger has always been a smug little bastard  I really should go back and rewatch all the seasons after this one ends.

There would be plenty of people left to root for, even if Ned, Robert, Robb, Renly or Tyrion were gone. Sometimes the people you root for even start up as people you hate, like Jaime*. Look at Oberyn or Lady Olenna -- there will always be cool new characters. * the sisterrape never happened, okay?

I keep rewatching that scene between Oberyn and Tyrion, because Pedro Pascal's delivery is so genuine and nuanced. The Viper is a character that could come off corny as gently caress if done poorly. I can't wait to see him give the Mountain his dew.

For what it's worth I wasn't that impressed by his scenery-chewing in the previous episode.

The mountain clans accosting Cat, Rodrik, and all the random knights from the Inn at the Crossroads with them had Bronn in it, and he and Tyrion even interacted. In fact, they met even earlier, because Bronn was the dude who gave up his room at the inn for a Lannister's gold.

What do you think would happen if Oberyn beats the Mountain? Tyrion would be found innocent but the public and his family still hate him so I doubt he'd stay in King's Landing for long.

Marge wouldn't have given a drat about Robert's affairs/still being all hung up on Lyanna, and while she and Cersei are both pretty dab hands at manipulating dudes, I bet she'd have used her powers for relative good. And, you know, definitely wouldn't have gotten knocked up by her brother for at least six different reasons.

I like the idea that the old-money inheritor who has lived 99% of his post-adolescent life surrounded by women and wine and ordering around servants is supposed to be the 'only protagonist' left. Don't get me wrong, Tyrion is a very real and sympathetic character (though like everything else the book is superior), but he's way far away from the protagonist of anything.

No matter what results from the duel, the Lannisters are left with more enemies and a succession crisis (or at least, they will diminish, becoming a minor house), their last hope being that Cersei cranks out ever more babies and/or Jaime decides to leave the Kingsguard. Not good chances. Nothing Tywin deserves more than to see his house fall to ruin. But then again, deserve's got nothing to do with it.

I'd laugh my rear end off if he does the "You killed my sister, prepare to die!" thing only to get turned into two halves of a viper approximately 3 seconds later. I like both him and Tyrion, and I'd hate to see either character go so early, but it's the kind of thing I'd expect at this point.

She's far more likely to have his ear than anyone else, and while self-serving and power-hungry, I've never gotten the impression she'd be a bad queen. Regardless if it's an act or not, she's definitely a "make the people love you" kind of person, so in that scenario Tommen would probably be the best king the commoners ever had.

Why would he need to leave? Tywin will outwardly look relieved that his son was exonerated and couldn't risk the scandal of killing his own heir apparent without cause. Jaime never disliked him. Cersei would want him dead but what else is new? It all seems like being back to business as usual, save for Tyrion having a much darker opinion of his family and friends. Now, the populace of King's Landing being against him might make him leave. I'd figure he'd go to Casterley Rock and rub it into his father's face.
