Le Cygne Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The articles where they try to make sense of the show are putting more thought into it than Benioff/Weiss. (I guess someone told them to come up with click bait but still... that's beating a dead white horse.) (Just spotted a ton of articles trying to explain the horse... and in the script it was just a way to teleport to Winterhell, then they forgot about it.)

I guess I'm just scratching the surface, but taking Seasons 7 & 8 together, why did:- 1. Cersei face no consequences for blowing up the Great Sept? 2. Tyrion give consistently useless advice to Dany? 3. Tyrion trust Cersei to the end? 4. Cersei show no evidence of pregnancy? 5. Drogon fly past the Wall at the speed of Concorde? 6. Dany burn down a city for no military purpose? 7. Jaime's redemption arc go nowhere? 8. The Branbot become king? 9. Sam become Grand Maester with no qualifications? 10. Dany forget the Iron Fleet, despite talking about it a few days previously? 11. Jon give up his crown to Dany, after she offered to aid the North and waive her claim? 12. Jon subsequently blame Dany before his lords for making him bend the knee? 13. Bronn become Master of Coin with no qualifications? 14. Grey Worm not kill Jon? 15. The Branbot fail to warn Dany and Jon of dangers? 16. Arya become a xenophobe? 17. The lords all agree to Northern independence? 18. Jon become a treacherous coward? 19. The lords allow Tyrion, a prisoner, to address them? 20. Varys broadcast treason at the top of his voice? 21. Ser Davos propose that a eunuch found a great House? etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when he was attacked by the direwolves in Winterfell? I think the Stark children will be his downfall. Everyone thinks that the giant imagery is referring to Littlefinger when it's actually Tyrion. Does that mean Sansa gets to slay him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D & D's latest explanation for Dany's burning of Kings Landing is that she's exporting a revolution around the world. I've often thought that the ending they gave to her story had a lot to do with their political opinions; ie reformers become tyrants; injustice is just the way of the world; sensible people just suck it up. As well as being compared to Satan, Jesus, and Hitler, now she's Leon Trotsky. Given Martin's own political leanings, that's another reason to envisage he has a different ending in mind.

I agree. Actually this attitude was already in place as early as season 1, I guess it was less disturbing because the story was captivating… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is kit nominated because of his new gig with Marvel? Don t take me wrong, I think he is one of the few actors with enough acting time and lines to be nominated. But it is strange he is the only one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryk Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Glad it didn't get nominated for best series, but Kit the only member of the cast with a nomination? Maybe it's because they know he "doesn't want it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Sansa using her connections with the nobility to turn the tables on Tyrion and then have him be executed. Sansa might not be able to do it (she's still legally tied to Tyrion and she'd be smart enough to not risk a kinslayer reputation) but Arya and maybe even Bran would be eager to pick up the slack.
