It's going to be great when Cersei's comeuppance is that she abdicates the throne after a lengthy negotiation with Dany, et al, and gets to just retire to Casterly Rock

Seems like her legitimacy as ruler would be controversial in Dorne anyway since she's just some prince's ex GF who murdered the rightful royal line and- oh yeah, Dorne is literally like four people, I forgot.

FishBowlRobot posted:I wonder if Cersei would trade Dorne lady and Yara for Jamie. That's probably a bad trade for Dany unless Elaria still has political clout in Dorne when she gets out, which doesn't seem likely. Realistically someone would have already filled the power vacuum and sided with Cersei or Dany one, but for show purposes I think Dorne is basically just empty at this point. It only had a population of like 8 people to begin with. 8 idiots General Dog fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Aug 7, 2017 |

TyrantWD posted:Danerys first instinct is usually to do something bad, and then she gets talked out of it by her advisors. The problem with her attacking the Lannister supply line is not that burning soliders with dragons is bad, but that she is starting to ignore the advisors that have kept her in check so far. If Tyrion slipped, hit his head, and wound up in a coma or dead, what is to stop Danerys from taking all 3 dragons to burn Kings Landing to the ground the next time she receives bad news? She has repeatedly shown that her highest priority is that she rule Westeros, and is willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. She has become progressively more unhinged over the last few seasons. We are in a showdown between two mad queens, and while Jamie will likely have to take out Cersei, I fully expect Jon or Jorah will be forced to take out Danerys so they can unify Westeros against the Whitewalkers. Aren't we to understand that she was advised (offscreen) to attack the Lannister supply line, instead of her original impulse of "gently caress it, I'm nuking the Red Keep"?

So how long did it take for Gendry to run to the wall, the wall to send a raven to Dany, and Dany fly north? It played like a parody of how everyone's been teleporting all over the place for the past ~10 episodes. Good thing Ed paid extra for an overnight raven.

Bigass Moth posted:I figure several hours of running. Then what, 2000 miles of raven flight and then dragon flight? Presumably dragons are faster. I'm not sure how much ground a raven can cover in a day but you'd think this entire sequence would have had to take multiple days at the least. Our merry band of heros plus random no names did not think to start a fire to stay warm during this time. I thought they were going to have to eat poor Thoros

Verisimilidude posted:The night king kinda looks like bran Yeah, I noticed that rewatching Hardhome this afternoon. Bran goes back in time, and builds the wall and also becomes the Night King, in some order. Also, Hardhome was much better than this episode. All of the stupid plot machinations that it took to get us to this episode and to extract us from this episode would have been worth it if it gave us some mind-bogglingly awesome setpiece, but the whole episode was kind of a wet fart. Easily the most forgettable of the "big" episodes, action-wise it doesn't really give us anything we haven't seen done better before.

Martytoof posted:This whole loving "let's go show a zombie to cersei" plan was so stupid from the get go. What about her personality made people think that she'd immediately suspend hostilities because of a zombie. I mean she already has a zombie and that doesn't seem to phase her much. From a storytelling aspect, it was a strange decision for them to include that scene last week where Cersei tells Jamie she intends to agree to the armistice, rendering the mission pointless in advance.

Bobo the Red posted:Jaime *just* went behind her back, she's likely not letting him in on her plans. Or at least, just letting him in on the parts he likes Well clearly she's cooking something up some sort of betrayal, but the fact remains that she was planning to at least pretend to appease Dany before she ever saw the walker. She's not going to see the Wight and say, "well, I was going to pretend to make peace with a plan to betray you later, but now that I've seen this I understand I need to make peace for real".

How far out of the way would it have been for Jon to stop by Winterfell on his way from Dragonstone to the Wall? Just to make sure everything is alright since he's been gone for months. Where was Tormund before he went to meet Jon at the Wall?

Supreme Allah posted:It would of been like sailing from Miami to NY with a 'quick' detour in Chicago Fair enough, I guess he probably sailed straight from Dragonstone to Winterfell. Although Ravens are basically like cellphones, or in some cases newspapers at this point, where everyone in the world knows what everyone else in the world is up to in pretty short order, except when the story needs them not to. Like the Citadel finds out about Dany torching the Tarlys in roughly 15 minutes, but Jon apparently hasn't bothered to write his sister in Winterfell to give any updates, despite presumably having an abundance of free time. Seems like it would be useful if she could take a straw poll to see how they'd feel about him bending the knee in exchange for their survival. Meanwhile Sansa hasn't bothered to send him word that Arya and Bran came back while he was gone (unless I'm forgetting).

I think it's believable, inevitable really, that there's going to be tension between Arya and Sansa. The problem is that they've escalated it to the point where Arya is making thinly veiled threats when the stakes are murky/nonexistent. Yes, Sansa enjoys being in charge, but she has no clear means of usurping Jon even if she wanted to. Is Arya afraid that Sansa is going to cause Jon to die while he's gone just through force of will?

Kawabata posted:This is one of the worst episodes I've ever seen of any show in recent memory. I don't watch stuff like Gotham or Arrow though, so there's that. I think that's hyperbolic, but it certainly wasn't good. To answer your question, they probably felt like they needed a big season-end action episode like usual but there were still too many episodes left for them to have anything siginificant happen now, so they just set up a situation that they could get the characters in and out of as quickly and with as little setup as possible.

fruit on the bottom posted:I feel like Walking Dead is actually a bit more nihilistic than GoT. GoT is about miserable people who always seem to be on the precipice of being less miserable and then having it cruelly yanked away. TWD is about people who are miserable and establishes a universe in which they are 100% certain to be miserable until the day they die (horribly), and in which every day humanity survives is going to be worse than the last. You could say they're all... dead men walking.

Sky Shadowing posted:Sunday I thought the foreshadowing in the last episode of Dany not being able to have a child, and thus surprise! having a child was not subtly hinting that the series would probably end with her on the Iron Throne (or, given that I wouldn't be surprised if she did away with it, its replacement) after Jon died. I've always felt pretty confident that Dany is going to die. It feels like it makes for a legend very in line with most of Westeros' history- "yeah this girl came in with her three dragons and set the kingdom straight and then died of tuberculosis. Very sad, she burned short and burned bright." General Dog fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Aug 22, 2017 |
