I only notice because not for the first time have I wondered..................does she have a little baby bump? Is that what her arm is kinda cradling? It might just be the bad angle or Clapton's CrayCray Costuming, but I wonder if it's possible? I'm guessing only a few days at the most may have passed between episode 1 and the picture, but we haven't really seen Dany in form fitting clothes. We really haven't seen her out of heavy furs, have we? Plus, we know Jon and Dany have been at it at least since some time before the boat hit White Harbor.

It would be fun if she was pregnant and jon's and danny's problems with jon's parentage is that their baby might have problems. Ithink it is the type of stupidity the show might go for...

Clapton says she uses colors to indicate loyalties so Dany has gone from Targ black to Stark white and now she's gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure which picture you're talking about. If it's the one that shows only Jon and Arya, I actually say FINALLY. Because Jon has been wearing armor this whole fucking time, like he slept in it. That brown coat that all Stark soldiers and commanders tend to wear looks like it's a coat of plates. One of my problems with GoT has been not whether or not a character is wearing armor, it's when characters are wearing armor, but it does nothing, because reasons.

I can t compare it with real armor like the shouthern armies use. Even jorah is using armor in the picts. Jon and arya look to be wearing some kind of leather... And I think that in the entire series the only piece of armor that actualy worked was a venbrance or whatever it is called (ned in the toj scene).

That pattern we see on the Stark men armor would not just be leather. There should be small metal plates sewn inside, which is still a pretty good piece of armor than stop most attacks, though not as good as full plate. In the picture above Jon and Arya are wearing some leather jerkins, but that's not what Jon wore for the entirety of episode 1, and pretty much all of last season.

Lady Fevre Dream Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'm still catching up on the above posted Black Nerd Problems recap. It has great points as usual, but the sulking dragons not eating killed me. In the middle of Dany getting all of her entitlement on, she learns that the dragons are barely eating. They go to check this shit out and these muthafuckas are pushing around the lamb bones like kids that don’t want to eat their peas and shit. Jon asked what’s wrong and Dany is like, “they don’t like the north.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like have full plate and all? He probably would, in a book. But in this show, the armor is just there to distinguish Starks from Lannisters, from Boltons, etc etc. And Kit might have trouble moving about in plate. Barely anyone, who isn't an extra, is wearing a helmet in battle, and even shields are sparse. Actually now that I think about it, Ramsey didn't have anything more than leather, didn't he? Sure, he didn't lead from the front, but that's still risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lollygag Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Last season, Sansa reminded them to cover the armor in leather or something. Not my field of expertise, but I live in a very cold climate and cold + metal don't mix well. Especially if you add moisture. I've had my fingers stuck to metal in the cold before. https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/2149761-Knight-armor-in-cold-weather/page2 Adding: In addition to armor, you need extra layers to keep warm which adds extra weight and rigidity. Also, the colder it gets, the more you lose flexibility (hence the hot yoga trend). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, all those added layers for warmth would also offer protection, so you could get away with less steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
