    The Freys already lost Stevron, Petyr, Merrett, Little Walder, Aegon, and Jared to the Starks and their bannermen. Enough of revenge.  What crime was done as a result of the RW has been repaid. 

     

    I'm going to leave aside the question if violence is ever justified and if it is, how much is too much. But Walder frey, the orchestrator of the RW is still alive. I expect him to die pretty soon. And I don't see the all of the freys killed, but they will probably be stripped off their lands and titles.

    I assumed that too but I think it's really weird that we didn't see any Dothraki women at all this season.  It wouldn't have cost much to have had a few in the background in some scenes.

    Yeah, it wouldn't have cost them anything. But most of the scenes with the dothraki were on the battle field and given the pace of this season, I think they just cut them out.

    In the end I think both Jon and Dany will indeed perish saving Westeros on their dragons and it will come to light that actually Tyrion is a Targaryen and then he has the rightful claim to the Iron Throne. It may appear as though the Lannisters win the Game of Thrones but it is actually the Targaryens. Bittersweet ending complete. 

    I think there was reason Tyrion brought up succession it the previous episode. I think the show might end with the seeds of democracy being sown somehow. 

    And I don't believe Tyrion is a targaryen, nor do I see a targaryen on the IT in the end, but I could be wrong.

    I took it differently.

    She was really touched when he called her, "Dany," and, for the first time in years, somebody looked at her as a person first and not as a queen, warlord, politician, general or anything like that. Even Jorah and Tyrion don't really treat her as a person.

    Jon sees Dany as his equal because he doesn't believe in power that way. For him, people are people, and that's his great quality. For Dany to have a man come to her is treating her as a person, and that's what she craves most of all. It's not that dissimilar to Daario's first encounters with her.

    Also, even when Tyrion went back to talk to Cersei, Jon and Dany were having a discussion away from the rest of the people there. Based on their tones there was definitely some attraction there on both sides. So it's not all that disrespectful. Also, Jon was named the Kitn, and the Kettleblacks go to Cersei in the books despite of being much lower in rank.

    Sorry but I think that people are not taking in consideration something. We ALL like the show. It is obvious to me that people will have a higher trend to point the finger to what was bad than to the good (as we assume that it must be good).

    To watch a episode that I like does not surprise me.. because it is what I expect. Sometimes I will be surprised by how much better the show was against my expectations (i.e. spoils of war episode, last season's the door, BoB or the season finale). But to see something worst, (and sometimes much worse than what we expected) then people are vocal about it... 

    So the perception is that most people view the show in a negative way, when I don't think it is the case.

    Maybe what you say is true, but that's not the feeling I get. Yes, I can see how easily one can be frustrated by something that could've been done better, but one has to admit that repeating those frustrations over and over again can make the atmosphere rather negative, which is how I see the forums.

    I still don't know why you think their opinions are being dismissed. 1. Quality in storytelling has nothing to do with opinion - see all analogies above. 2. Please become aware of your double standards; dismissing the opinion of book fans is just as stupid as dismissing those of Unsullied - you are doing yourself what you criticise in others, which is just as pathetic.

    While I absolutely agree that it is wrong to dismiss the opinions of book readers, one has to admit that these forums are filled with negativity towards the show. Valid criticisms are one things, but a constant onslaught of nitpicking is another. One would be hard pressed to find a thread devoid of discussion about how the show is the worst thing in the world. While the show is by no means perfect, it's really good. The majority of show watchers haven't read the books, so I think it's fine that the show doesn't delve into details about the books. The books are the books and the show is the show.

    I have a question. Idk if this was talked about a long time ago but little finger is the one who had Jon arryn killed? Why? And when and how did Sansa find out?

    LF had Lysa poison Jon Arryn so that he could gain power and create chaos to his advantage. And I believe Lysa admitted to poisoning Jon Arryn right before LF threw her out the moon door.

    To me it seemed he never thought to look for a marriage, he still believed the rebellion had cause, and resolved to the idea of Lyanna as an impregnated prisoner.. Once he looked for a wedding he found the truth.

    That's fairly how I saw it too. I assumed he heard Lyanna saying Aegon Targaryen but thought that because they weren't married, Jon's still a bastard.

    I think without the ramp up in teleporting we would be looking at a 9th season.

    Not that I would be complaining.  

    I agree. And I'm not sure the fillers to accommodate the travel time would be well received. I wouldn't complain either, but I'm guessing most viewers would.

    I hope this is the right thread to ask. I'm fairly new to the forums and I started watching the show from the beginning only two months ago. There's a lot I don't know. I know practically nothing about the original story.

    What bothers me is the mention of baby Aegon having been so badly severed that he couldn't be recognized. Is there a possibility that he did not die, is been kept safe until now and he still is the true heir of throne?

    Based on your question, I assume you haven't read the books. To answer your question fully, I'll need to give you information from the books and I don't know if you'd want that or not. But a succinct answer would be yes, it's a possibility :)
