Gargarax Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Oh, one more thing. Gilly's baby must be at least 12 years old ... Has somebody bothered to calcualte how much time has passed since episode 1? Should be around 2 years or more based on travelling distances ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give the show writers a lot of credit for having to make tough artistic choices. But killing this part of Jaime's character is a mistake. I think it was a mistake they made last season before GRRM told them that his story was important. Now Myrcella is dead and they can't really make him angry at Cersei without looking like a jerk. The past is written. The ink is dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeIAF Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Why the episode's synopsis said "Arya makes a plan" and we only get a part of it (maybe) on screen ? Almost all of the viewers will think that is bad writing, there is no backstory, no explaining or a hint of her plan. Maybe next episode ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor did her being convinced by tales of White Walkers. The scene was also set up so obviously. Like she's rude and bossy for the whole scene, but the moment Davos speaks up she's suddenly polite and let's him speak. (...) I actually do not like that scene for the same reason. She is not interested to save Rickon but comes suddenly around when they mention the WW? The Starks do not mean a thing, even in this scene. (But I admit why I think her letter is cool the other (older) She-Bears are so much cooler than her. Dacey was perfect: a woman and a warrior. Maege is amazing too. Aly, Aly is the most awesome Mormont Lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malendoriancavalry Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 So Sandor Clegane joined the Amish in the middle of nowhere, chopping wood and constructing a sept. Septon Merribald or "Ray" gives a shitty speech about killing a boy while his hippie friends passes along the joint. Dunk the lunk and Dunk the lunkier chews on this for bit before deciding to spit it back up and shove it up George RR Martins arsehole by killing all of them off for no fucking reason. Sansa and Jon is teleporting around the north with Littlefinger's teleportation device trying to win the allegiance of the north, but miserably fails at it because Jon lost his tongue and Sansa being the little bitch she's always been. Jaime gets his dirty little hands on yet another teleportation device and shits Bronn out of his ass and teleports to Riverrun that the Blackfish have retaken. The Freys that looks like inbred moles have laid siege to the castle. Jaime punches Lothar or whoever the fuck he is in the face and parleys with the Blackfish (ah, so now you decide to use some of the book material) but fails miserably. Margaery played the Highsparrow for a fool (oh, how suprising) but gains nothing out of it. Tommen complains about his blueballs to the fucking Highsepton. The Queen of Thorns spits a bunch of shit at Cersei and she just accepts it. Arya gets stabbed like four times and jumps in the trash can/toilet of Braavos and magically walks away and not a single person gives a fuck. Asha is sucking the nipples of a slave in Volantis and says to Theon that he should grow some balls (haha) or kill himself even though he's been tortured for years and lost his cock to the sadist Ramsay Snow. The Ironborns longships is apparently bigger than the bridge of Volantis The Broken Man is by far the best episode this season, but that's only because the rest of it was even worse.

I think the generally accepted standard is roughly a year per season. But that really doesn't make sense because of things like travel times, Gilly's baby etc. They did seem to have aged him up a bit this season, but that in itself makes no sense because his age has now jumped.

SerMixalot Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Status of the Great Houses-In Show Baratheon-Wiped from the face of Westeros Doran-Wiped from the fact of Westeros Tyrell-Heir Disinherited, Soon to go extinct, Current Lord is old moron Lannister-Jamie now Lord of Castlery Rock, Myrcella dead, Joffrey Dead, Tommen on Iron Throne-dead man walking, not likely to have heir since no sex with sexy mama Margery, Cersei wandering around KL being insulted by everyone. Arryn-Ser Robyn only living Arryn Marching to War-probably dead man walking as he is with LF. Tully-Edmure under threat-unknown whether he has heirs, Blackfish holding Riverrun Stark-Bran is Lord of Winterfell-north of wall, Rickon prisoner of Ramsey, Sansa being disregarded by northmen-same with Jon Snow, Arya in Bravos-Brienne and Sansa know of her-well as of Brienne killing Sandor-Jon appears not to know, Benjen "alive" and out of his vows similar to Jon Greyjoy-Euron-King, Theon and Yara marked for death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cas Stark Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 People are really nuts. I just read a theory to try and explain the stupidity of Arya/Bobcut...which is (1) that there is no Bobcut, she's Arya's other self, or (2) that it wasn't Arya but was Bathrobe Not Jaquen..(3) Arya is running some other con and was wearing maybe I dunno, mithrail. Anything except to admit that the show simply wrote a really clumsy segment where Arya acts stupid and should be dead of her wounds but will somehow miraculously live after being stabbed in the abdomen multiple times because Bobcut is the worst FM ever, except when she beat the shit out of Arya every time they fought, and Arya couldn't beat her even when she was disarmed.

SerMixalot Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Also, does anyone know who (in show) is heir apparent to the Iron Throne? No living Baratheon's as Tommen is technically a Baratheon No living siblings No child from Margery So who gets the Iron Throne if Tommen were to say, jump out of a window, I know, I know that sounds silly, just using a ridiculous scenario as an absurdity. But if Tommen dies, who gets the throne? Lancel as a Lannister?-he has disowned his titles, right? Kevan-a Lannister and alive and directly related to the King, right? Beyond that WHO? Perhaps this sets up Kevan to off Tommen to take the throne. I don't see any other possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerMixalot Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 All things considered, wouldn't Margery want to get pregnant as soon as possible to secure her position? Shouldn't that trump all considerations? Ok maybe her love of Loras to see him secure, but now that he is shouldn't she be trying to get preggers with Tommen? what is the benefit of not having sex with Tommen?

Ser Maynard Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 1. Why the hell are the Freys dressed like peasants? 2. King's Landing pacing is atrocious. I'm still waiting for Carol to do something of note. 3. Changing Ashayara's sexual orientation was unnecessary, but b00bs I guess. 4. Ian McShane's character was dissapointing. And since when does the BwB murder innocent civilians? 5. Jon Snow has been incompetent for the whole season. He has ZERO presence in his scenes. He has that "I really shoudn't be here right now" look all the time. Besides these issues, it was a decent episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
